A world where your power is literally what people believe you are, and watching that trust meter climb or crash on your wrist becomes more brutal than any fight. The animation doesn't just serve the action, it rewrites how you experience every emotion, shifting art styles to match what a character is feeling at that exact moment. By the final episodes, you realize the show wasn't about becoming a hero at all. It was about what you're willing to lose when people stop believing in you.
In a world where heroism runs on trust metrics, ordinary people can unlock superpowers by earning enough faith from those around them. Every citizen wears a wrist display showing their trust level: accumulate enough points, and you gain the power to become a hero who saves the world. The most trusted person in existence holds the title of X, a hero ranked above all others. But trust is volatile. A hero who loses the public's belief also loses their abilities. Trust values are measured and used to rank heroes, and every two years a tournament decides the top names, with each hero's performance setting their new standing. With values always shifting, the road to heroism is full of uncertainty in this supernatural action drama with a thread of mystery.
