Synopsis and concept: What is To Be Hero X about?

To Be Hero X takes place in a world where heroes are shaped by public trust. A unique system quantifies this trust, visible as data on an individual’s wrist, directly influencing their abilities. Anyone can become a hero if the populace believes in their potential, granting them corresponding powers.

Conversely, losing trust results in the loss of those abilities. The title “X” is bestowed upon the top-ranked hero, the most trusted figure in the world. Every two years, the top 10 heroes compete in a tournament, where their performance recalibrates their trust scores, affecting their rankings.


The series explores this dynamic and the lives of heroes who navigate the constant fluctuations of public perception. With its distinctive premise and dynamic characters, To Be Hero X offers a fresh take on heroism and societal influence, and fans can look forward to its April 2025 debut.
