To Be Hero X episode 5 recap

Titled One Actor, the episode begins with a young boy named Yang Cheng witnessing his parents being shot to death by two assailants. He would have been sold for money if it were not for E-Soul, the lightning hero, who eliminated the perpetrators and saved the boy.

Following that, the narrative fast-forwarded to 16 years and showcased Yang Cheng's life as a young adult. It was revealed that he had a crush on his class rep, Xia Qing. He wanted to finally confess his feelings and take her to the concert of Lucky Cyan, her favorite singer.

However, Yang Cheng could not express his feelings as his colleague, Shang, appeared at the scene. He made an excuse that he had an urgent job-related business and left. The episode then revealed that Yang Cheng worked as an actor for children's stage shows. He performed on a stage event at a theme park in front of children.

Interestingly, the MG Company's representative was present at the event to see if he could sign up Yang Cheng for the upcoming E-Soul Anniversary audition. Everyone liked Yang Cheng's performance as E-Soul, save one young kid, who said he did not like the boring script. Eventually, the episode revealed the boy as Little Pomelo, the younger brother of Xia Qing.

Furthermore, even though Pomelo criticized Yang Cheng's acting, he turned out to be his big fan. After the performance, Xia Qing met Yang Cheng as E-Soul (she did not know his original identity) and asked if he could meet her the next day. Yang Cheng did not know how to respond, but said yes anyway. Later, his boss learned from Yang about the supposed date.

Uncle Rock felt that Yang should tell his crush about his profession, even though he was embarrassed about it. At that moment, Uncle Rock fired two deliverymen due to some complaints he received. They left his company in disgust. The next day, Yang Cheng, as E-Soul, met Xia Qing, who urged him to spend some time with Little Pomelo.

She explained how lonely Pomelo was and that he did not have any friends. Yang accepted Xia's request and met Pomelo, who told him that he had always gotten the original E-Soul's vibe from Yang. He did not like how he started imitating the hero, which resulted in him losing that original vibe. At the same time, Pomelo knew that Yang liked his sister.

He swore to keep it a secret as long as he took him to the audition, where he could meet the original E-Soul. A day before the audition, Yang Cheng ruminated on the fact that he had zero Trust Value. He acknowledged how difficult it was to be in a society without Trust Value. Eventually, the day of the audition arrived. Yang Cheng found himself in the top spot, along with two other contestants.

However, the judges disqualified him since he had no Trust Value. After the audition, Yang Cheng went past Pomelo and Xia Qing as he felt embarrassed. The next day, Xia Qing asked Yang if he would like to go to Lucky Cyan's concert. She mentioned that she received the VIP tickets from Shang. Yet, since it was Shang's favor, Yang decided against going with Xia.

Later, Little Pomelo encountered Yang, dressed as E-Soul, in a nearby alley. Meanwhile, the two deliverymen received a big cash offer from an unknown caller if they delivered a "person." That person happened to be none other than Little Pomelo, whom the assailants kidnapped in front of Yang Cheng.

The boy chased them on a bicycle and eventually caught up to them. Elsewhere, at the Anniversary event, the original E-Soul lectured about why he never took off his mask. He revealed that the mask was a symbol of trust, so he never betrayed his followers' trust. On the other side, Yang Cheng fought against the assailants, but was brutally injured.

Yet, he did not give up. Yang Cheng's resolve resonated with Pomelo, who saw E-Soul in him. Thus, he became his first believer, which granted Yang Cheng E-Soul's abilities. The episode witnessed Yang Cheng save the young boy from his assailants. Sometime later, Xia Qing arrived at the scene and hugged Pomelo.

She expressed her gratitude to the hero and asked his real name. At that moment, Yang Cheng removed his E-Soul mask. Just then, Shang arrived at the scene and said that he had come for Yang Cheng. The episode ended with Yang shocked at Shang's comment.
