Heroes



Heroes (ヒーロー, Hīrō) are individuals who fight for justice against all evils in the world. They also protect innocent civilians from any harm against natural disasters, Mysterious Beings, Villains, and other threats. Most heroes are registered with the Hero Association and are divided into four classes: From lowest to highest, there's C-Class, B-Class, A-Class and S-Class, each having their own individual numbered rankings within the class. However, the Rank 1 heroes of A-Class and B-Class are substantially more powerful than the bottom-ranked hero of S-Class and A-Class respectively; they chose to keep their Rank 1 position in their current class as a gatekeeper, or for reasons of their own.

There are numerous unnamed heroes.
