To Be Hero X Unveils Epic Trailer as It Takes Over One Piece’s Time Slot!

At Jump Festa 2025, it was revealed that the airing time for “One Piece” would no longer be at its traditional 9:30 AM slot. When the anime resumes on April 6th, 2025, it will instead air on Sunday evenings at 11:15 PM JST. This change, after 18 years of uninterrupted broadcasting at the same time, is not without its reasons. As per Oricon, the primary objective behind this adjustment is to synchronize episode releases with those of “Weekly Shonen Jump” and facilitate a more seamless transition between them. Additionally, considering how the fanbase of “One Piece” has matured over the past two decades, this shift seems logical.

With Fuji TV’s 9:30 AM time slot now vacant, it’s likely that “To Be Hero X” by Aniplex and bilibili will step into this space. This upcoming anime, penned by Li Haolin (creator of “Link Click” and “Heaven’s Official Blessing”), presents a unique universe where individuals acquire superpowers based on their level of trustworthiness. The narrative then unfolds as these superheroes strive to attain the title of the most trusted hero, “X.” A new trailer for “To Be Hero X” was unveiled at Anime Japan 2025; you can watch it in the video below.
