Heroes



Heroes (ヒーロー達, Hīrō Tachi) are individuals who fight for justice against evil in the world. They protect civilians from harm against natural disasters, monsters, villains, and other threats. Most heroes are registered with the Hero Association and are divided into four classes: C-Class, B-Class, A-Class and S-Class. Heroes are given number rankings within their respective classes.

There are numerous unnamed heroes.

S-Class
S-Class (S級, S-kyū): The highest and strongest class in the Hero Association. Here are listed the most powerful heroes, who are said to each be at least as strong as an emergency army division.
