Broadcast from April 6 to September 13, 2025, To Be Hero X follows a bold concept: public belief literally confers superpowers, and heroes rise or fall based on “Trust Value.” In this world, the ten highest-ranked heroes gather every two years to compete in a tournament that reshuffles the global rankings and determines the number one hero known simply as “X.” The story unfolds through interconnected character arcs, often presented out of chronological order, exploring the personal struggles, motivations, and public perceptions of each hero. Ordinary characters struggle with identity, fan culture, and societal pressure as they gain or lose incredible abilities. With stunning animation, a dramatic score, and layered storytelling, the series reflects on fame, belief, and what it truly means to be a hero.

Unlike typical superhero shows where powers are fixed, in To Be Hero X, a hero’s power literally exists only because people believe in them and if the public stops believing, the hero instantly loses their abilities altogether. This means hero strength isn’t just physical, but literally a function of public faith, making popularity itself a superpower and turning fan perception into literal fuel for superhuman feats a premise that blurs the line between belief and reality in a unique way rarely seen in any animated series.
