Each version contains 1 PROPHET CARD at random (PROPHET CARD S, M, or K) which has a unique serial number on it. Whichever card the purchaser received, he or she will have the privilege to obtain this very special version only if he or she correctly guesses what 10 songs were selected by that person (SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, or KOBAMETAL) and in the correct order.

So will the “10 Legend Movies” be included in The One’s “Chronicle Set”, or will you have to buy limited edition C to get that Blu-ray?

You will need to buy the Limited Edition c to get it. THE ONE should be a different one (though it’s not clear what would happen if a song is voted for and is also on the album).
