To Be Hero X is a brand-new anime that’s getting fans excited. Created by Li Haolin, it’s a team effort between Bilibili and Aniplex. The show gives us a fresh take on what it means to be a hero. Let’s find out what makes this anime unique and when we can watch it!
What is To Be Hero X about?
To Be Hero X isn’t your average superhero story. In this world, heroes need people to believe in them. The more trust people have, the stronger the heroes become. It’s like a superpower fueled by faith!
Heroes wear special wristbands that show how much people trust them. This trust gives them amazing abilities. For example, if enough people believe a hero can fly, they really will be able to fly! But if people stop thinking, the hero loses their powers.
Every two years, there’s a big contest to rank the heroes. The top hero gets the particular title “X.” It’s not just about being strong – heroes need to win over the public, too.
To Be Hero X trailer
Fans got their first peek at To Be Hero X in 2022 with a teaser. But the real excitement came on September 16, 2024. That’s when we saw the first full trailer and learned about the voice actors (also called seiyuu in Japanese).
The trailer showed off the cool hero world and hinted at the story. We also heard some incredible music. The central theme is by Hiroyuki Sawano, who’s known for music in popular shows like Attack on Titan.
