Fuji TV announced on December 9 that the Sunday 9:30 AM time slot, currently occupied by the anime ONE PIECE, will be transformed into a new anime block starting April 2025. This new slot will feature works jointly produced by Fuji TV and Aniplex, with the first anime in the lineup being the brand-new TO BE HERO X. Details about ONE PIECE's new broadcast schedule will be revealed at a later date.

This entirely original anime is a collaboration between bilibili, a popular platform among young audiences in China, and Aniplex, a producer of numerous acclaimed works. Set in a world where superheroes with unique abilities are celebrated, the story revolves around a system where hero rankings fluctuate based on "trust levels" from the public.

The opening theme song, "INERTIA," will be performed by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Rei, while the ending theme, "KONTINUUM," will be performed by SennaRin.

The newly released opening visuals showcase a dynamic mix of 2D and 3D animation, highlighting the thrilling exploits of the heroes centered around the character "X." Additionally, scene cuts featuring the ten main heroes have been unveiled, further building anticipation for the series.

Comments from the Music Artists

SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Rei
Hiroyuki Sawano commented:
I am honored to contribute the opening theme for TO BE HERO X as SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]. The energy of the work is palpable even from the visuals released so far, and I’m personally excited for its broadcast. Rei from Newspeak has lent her vocals to this track, adding the groove and intensity that the song needed. I hope 'INERTIA' becomes one of the elements that excites viewers about the story and world of TO BE HERO X.

Rei (Newspeak)
Being selected as the guest vocalist for SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]'s project is an honor. The moment I first heard 'INERTIA,' I was moved by its powerful vibe, as if it unleashed a hidden conviction within chaos. When I stood in the recording booth, the synergy between my voice and Sawano’s composition made the process smooth and seamless. I believe this energy carried over to the final track. I hope 'INERTIA,' with its mysterious and addictive quality, resonates with audiences and allows them to connect deeply with the protagonist.

SennaRin
As someone who’s admired heroes more than princesses since childhood, working on TO BE HERO X feels like a dream come true. I’m thrilled to perform the ending theme and was blown away by the stunning visuals accompanying the ending sequence. I hope 'KONTINUUM' enhances viewers' enjoyment of the series.
