To Be Hero X release schedule: When are new episodes out?
This new anime series is a clever twist on the superhero genre.
The new animated series To Be Hero X is an intriguing twist on the superhero genre, taking place in a world where superpowers are fuelled by collective faith. If people believe a person has certain abilities – for instance super-strength, or the power of flight – then they gain those powers in real life. But if people stop believing, that hero loses their mojo.
Premiering in April 2025, this series is the third instalment in a Chinese-Japanese animated anthology titled To Be Hero. Combining 2D and 3D animation, it distinctive visual style bears a resemblance to the Into the Spider-Verse movies.
In this universe, heroes compete to attract the highest level of trust and faith from the general public. To Be Hero X follows this competition, as different heroes strive to reach the top spot in the hero rankings.
