To Be Hero X Characters + Name Meanings
Grabbed these images from the official website and thought I’d share them here for easy reference. Characters are listed by their hero ranking:
Edit: The rankings from the site are actually by fan popularity, oops
1. X
2. Queen
女王 (Nǚ Wáng) = Literally, female wang/king. But yeah, it’s just the word Queen
3. Lucky Cyan
幸运青 (Xìngyùn Qīng) = Xingyun is “lucky,” while Qing refers to a color that can either be green or blue, so it’s often translated as azure or cyan.
4. Nice
奈斯 (Nài Sī) = transliteration of his name, but dictionary definition of nai is “how can one help”
5. Ghostblade
默杀 (Mò Shā) = Silent Kill
6. Dragon Boy
梁龙 (Liáng Lóng) = dictionary definition is “diplodocus,” which is uuhh a type of dinosaur. A big one. But literally, the name means “bridge dragon.”
7. The Johnnies
大小强 (Dà Xiǎo Qiáng) = Literally, Big Little Strong. But “Little Strong” is slang for cockroach. They’re called as such because of how hard they are to kill. (thank you @rainibao for explaining this!)
Edit: Okay, apparently it’s Da Xiao Qiang coz there’s one Big (Da) and one Little (Xiao). Xiaoqiang is just an unfortunate coincidence 😂
8. E-Soul
魂电 (Hún Diàn) = Hun refers to the immortal soul (one that can be detached from the body), which is in contrast to the Po (mortal soul attached to the body). Dian means electric.
9. Loli
罗莉 (Luó Lì) = transliteration of Loli, but literally means gauze/collect + jasmine
10. Ahu
阿虎 (Ā’Hǔ) = a/ah is a prefix used before monosyllabic names to indicate familiarity, while hu means… tiger
