On December 9, 2024, the official YouTube channel of Aniplex (a Japanese Production Company) revealed a promotional video for the To Be Hero X anime series, announcing its theme song artists and release window of April 2025. The anime series is set to replace One Piece's broadcast timing.

The promotional video for To Be Hero X featured a compilation of footage from the anime series. As the series is anime-original, none of the characters can be identified according to their voice actors, which was announced earlier by Aniplex. The video ended with the reveal of the series' latest release window, in April 2025.
The video also previewed the opening theme song of the donghua, titled Inertia. The theme song will be performed by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Rei, a collaboration between the music composer Sawano Hiroyuki (Attack on Titan) and a singer named Rei. The ending song, titled KONTINUUM, will be performed by SennaRin (the second ending song for Bleach TYBW part 1).
For the international audience, Crunchyroll has already announced the streaming of this series once it premieres. For Japanese fans, the series will air on Fuji TV at 9:30 am JST on Sundays, replacing the timeslot of the famous Shonen anime series One Piece. As the latter series returns in April 2025, its new timeslot will be announced at Jump Festa on December 22, 2024.
To Be Hero X has an amazing set of voice casting, including some of the most famous voice actors from the Japanese voice-acting industry. Some of these include X voiced by Mamoru Miyano (Light from Death Note), Ghostblade by Yuucihi Nakamura (Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen), Nice by Hanae Natsuki (Okarun from Dandadan) and Queen by Kana Hanazawa (Mitsuri from Demon Slayer).
