To Be Hero X episode 21 recap
The episode kicked off with Dragon Boy decimating a few people, who were continuously provoking him and filming him swimming, without his permission. Shortly after, he met Mr. Rock, who was looking for a candidate whom he wanted to nurture into a God. Dragon Boy was up for it, as long as he could clean up the Trash after becoming a God.
Following that, the narrative focused on the events from the current timeline. Mr. Rock wanted to make sure that Dragon Boy would get into the top 10 rankings. Surpassing Firm Man wasn’t an option, as he was one of the main faces of the Commission.
That’s why Rock believed they had to get rid of Hero Smile, who had been in the top 10 rankings for the last four decades. Interestingly, Mr. Shand had the same idea he wished to carry out with Nice as his pawn. Although Hero Smile was the reason why Nice became a Hero in the first place, he was given the hard task of being his hero’s nemesis.
Furthermore, the episode confirmed that Hero Smile and the X were close buddies. In the episode, Smile visited X’s house discreetly and chatted for hours. After drinking and tucking X into his bed, Smile decided to head home. Yet, on his way, he met Dragon Boy, who provoked him into a fight.
Dragon Boy indirectly told Smile that his family was in danger. Since it was about his family, Smile couldn’t stay down. The episode focused on a captivating battle between Dragon Boy and Hero Smile. After tanking several blows of Smile, Dragon Boy countered with a devastating punch.
Yet, Smile regained composure and was ready to fight back. At that moment, Dragon Boy sensed someone and shouted that it was time for them to come out. The episode ended with Nice about to enter the battlefield, with a vial of Fear matter in his hand.
