| 9 | The Hero Association is a public organization which gathers, coordinates, and supports individuals who possess special fighting abilities that are willing to fight monsters and other threats. These special individuals are called Heroes. Although founded out of good intentions, it is plagued by corruption and the power struggle among Heroes. In the face of a rise in monster activity, the association is becoming less and less capable of combating the threats. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 12 | [[folder:Hero Association (in general)]] |
| 13 | * BadassNormal: The vast majority of heroes in the association don't actually have superpowers. Most heroes we see are either in decent physical shape or have a quirk or gadget that they use to fight monsters. The ones who ''do'' have powers are typically in the upper echelon of A or S class, with the notable exception of [[PsychicPowers Fubuki]]. |
| 14 | * BeefGate: The #1 hero of a given class is this for every other hero within that class. In order to move up the ranks, a hero has to perform better than the number 1 of their class. |
| 15 | * CantCatchUp: A problem many Pro Heroes that are not in S-Class is their inability to grow fast enough against the growing threats humanity faces, which causes many of them to quit [[spoiler:or join Neo Heroes for PoweredArmor]]. |
| 16 | * CreatureHunterOrganization: Most of the time, the Hero Association is seen fighting and killing various [[OurMonstersAreDifferent monsters]] that are attacking innocent people; though they also occasionally go after human criminals and supervillains. |
| 17 | * {{Determinator}}: The Pro heroes that remain in the Hero Association are the ones that ''chose'' to stay out of their own will despite the amount of dangers their work entails [[spoiler:along with refusing Neo Heroes' offer to switch over and make their work easier with PoweredArmor]]. |
| 18 | * FantasticRankSystem: Heroes are divided into classes: From lowest to highest, they are the C-Class, B-Class, A-Class, and S-Class. Furthermore, heroes also hold a numerical rank within their respective class. Their placement in these classes reflects their strength and performance. S-Class was created as its own class after the other three have already been established, in order to assemble all of the freakishly strong heroes in one class. |
| 19 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Majority, if not all, won't hesitate killing monsters. |
| 20 | * GreatBigBookOfEverything: In a case of IdiotBall, the association has published a guidebook detailing where the heroes operate and what their powers and secret techniques are. It's a miracle only Garou thought of looking that up. However, it must be noted that the organization was born specifically to combat ''monsters'', not other humans, and monsters don't have many ways to put their hands on such a handbook, not to mention how monsters up to that point had shown no sign of cooperation or organization. The techniques listed were also what they utilized on monsters, not on humans, due to their lethality (like the use of a bamboo spear or a ''gatling gun''), so humans wouldn't have to worry about them at all. Really, "human-monster" Garou was more the case of an extremely specific exception that could take advantage of than something to be expected. |
| 21 | * HeroesRUs: The ''heroic organization'' type. However, most of the heroes don't work together at all. |
| 22 | * HeroismWontPayTheBills: Inverted. They pay the heroes at the end of each month based on their rank, with C-Class heroes receiving the lowest pay. Their ranking is based on points earned for heroic deeds, which only the assessment board knows the criteria for. Because the Hero Association is a non-profit organization that receives their money through donations from the public, on top of having the duty to be devoted to justice and compassion, the heroes cannot complain about their pay as it would make themselves look bad. |
| 23 | * HufflepuffHouse: While pretty much all the S-Class heroes are given distinctive characterization and scenes, the other ranks have just one member who receives prominent characterization and development, with the rest being relegated to backgrounds and battle fodder. The Manga and later webcomic are a little better about this though. |
| 24 | * IncompetenceInc: |
| 25 | ** What the association boils down to in later chapters. In fact, the whole organization ends up getting this reputation in the arcs after the Monster Association due in part to how the business as a whole has done nothing but screw up royally time after time. The public is particularly upset about the destruction of the Association's new HQ, the perceived faults and failings that are blamed on Metal Knight, Tornado's constant rabble rousing causing tons of property damage, and heroes as a whole doing nothing but causing one ruckus after another while on their payroll. |
| 26 | ** The association is in general plagued by the fact that the heroes in question are more often than not disinterested in fighting monsters. For instance, Fubuki has transformed the B-Class rank into a gang war between different factions of heroes. Also, the S-Class heroes are sometimes unwilling to fight a given monster. |
| 27 | ** The association is at least quick to notice and respond whenever a monster is in town. However, there are less than 600 heroes to manage an entire continent, with more than half of them only able to beat up simple thugs. The Hero Association is aware it is undermanned and is actively looking for potential allies. |
| 28 | ** The latest example in the ONE webcomic is when Child Emperor sends in a document laying out a well organized and thought out plan to make better use of the C to A Class heroes to cover weaknesses in the Hero system. Nobody even bothered to open it. This leads to [[spoiler:Child Emperor and multiple other S Class Heroes]] [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere deciding to abandon the Association]]. |
| 29 | ** Child Emperor and Drive Knight point out that one of the S-Class heroes seems to be a traitor. Child Emperor suspected Drive Knight at one point while Drive Knight consistently suspects Metal Knight, Child Emperor's mentor. Drive Knight then points out to Executive Sekingar that if the traitor is Metal Knight, then it's stupid that all of their HQ defenses are run by him with no oversight. [[spoiler:On top of this, while it may be nothing, no one suspects Blast who mysteriously retired and has disappeared. Even if Blast isn't a traitor, the fact that no one knows where their top heroes are at any given time is a major oversight.]] |
| 30 | ** Many of the executives and heroes are glory hounds only in it for fame, glory, and money. Some of the top executives are stupid, lazy, unfocused, slimy, and petty asshats. Corruption is also a problem with some members out to waste resources embarrassing law enforcement or taking girls out on dates. They also rush operations to appease investors or outright ignore problems which bites them in the ass. The latter ended with Garou taking out a huge portion of their heroes in the Hero Hunter Arc. The former ended up with the majority of the top level survivors being crushed by Garou (again) and other monsters after the heroes wore themselves out fighting opponents that they had no Intel on in the Monster Association arc. |
| 31 | * IneptAptitudeTest: The entrance exam seemingly works for ordinary heroes, but fails at selecting truly strong heroes. Saitama was thrown into C-Class for failing the written exam, while his physical performance was off the charts. In fact, several of the current S-Class heroes started off in C-Class or B-Class until the association finally noticed their abilities. |
| 32 | * MegaCorp: As of the main story, this is what the HA has turned into. It started out as a philanthropic pursuit by an EccentricMillionaire who was moved by the kind actions of a [[BadassBystander passing citizen]], [[spoiler: Saitama]], but subsequently declined into yet another [[PeaceAndLoveIncorporated sham company]] run by [[LazyBum lackadaisical]], [[PointyHairedBoss incompetent]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive conniving and/or outright]] {{JerkAss}} collective interests, with the well-meaning members finding themselves out-voiced or too low-ranked to do much to counter said interests. Plus, many of their heroes are, by extension, a gang of egotistical backbiting thugs and psychos who're either fighting over popularity points or causing more damage than the monsters and villains they fight. That coupled with their new HQ taking in the rich over the masses, and many of their more powerful heroes being involved in scandalous situations, has resulted in people questioning the Association as a whole, especially after events which leveled the new fortress guaranteed to outlast anything. Even its own staff are calling it a disaster with some deserting one-by-one. |
| 33 | * TheNicknamer: One of their duties is giving "Hero names" to those who have achieved a high-enough rank and/or popularity, or simply making a Hero's preferred name official. While they sometimes give pretty cool names (Silver Fang, Demon Cyborg, Terrible Tornado), others border on being too simplistic (Metal Bat, Eyelashes, Zombieman) and others are really quite unflattering (Pig God, [[spoiler: Caped Baldy]]). |
| 34 | * NoSuchThingAsHR: The Hero Association completely ignores personal feuds between heroes and the fact that new recruits are frequently assaulted by veterans. |
| 35 | * NothingIsTheSameAnymore: [[spoiler:In the aftermath of the battle with the Monsters Association and the subsequent battle against Garou, several heroes have gone into seclusion, or left the organization altogether -- having either lost faith in themselves or in relying on the other heroes. The Hero Association itself has come to view Metal Knight and Tornado in particular, two heroes previously held in high esteem, as unreliable and/or loose cannons. Also, the public's faith in the Hero Association is ebbing away, with their focus on the publicity that the heroes bring to use their budget, and on creating a series of high-rise apartments for the wealthy using their heroes as bodyguards, which is the opposite of the original intent of the organisation]]. |
| 36 | * PlotArmor: Despite some of heroes near-death injuries, as of the middle of Neo Heroes Saga, not a ''single'' hero has died yet. Justified, as the creator isn't used to killing off even tertiary characters. |
| 37 | * PunchClockHero: While there certainly are many altruistic members who want to save people and do good, as a whole, the heroes working for the Hero Association are doing it as a job. Some of the members have particular motives or side-objectives, like Metal Knight testing new weapons [[spoiler:and Tornado wanting to find Blast]]. Subverted later in the MA arc, where the Monster Association stirred up such an unprecedented crisis that is virtually almost an end-of-the-world scenario, countless heroes injured or otherwise quickly stepped up to initiate evacuation and support even when they weren't ordered by the Association, all purely on their own will because it's the right thing to do. |
| 38 | -->'''Flashy Flash:''' You don't lack heroes, you lack employees. |
| 39 | * SlaveToPR: Because it is funded by donations, the Hero Association has "looking good" among their priorities, to the detriment of efficiency. |
| 40 | * SuperRegistrationAct: They take in and sponsor superheroes, test them on their capability as a hero, and assign them ranks and classes based on their abilities. Unlike most cases, operating as an unregistered hero isn't technically illegal, but the general public thinks of them as "weirdos" in costumes. However, it's later revealed in the webcomic during the Neo Heroes arc, it was actually illegal for an individual to operate openly on the street with firearms or destructive weapons and they are liable to any collateral damage as a result of their actions. |
| 41 | * WeAreStrugglingTogether: A lot of the heroes are arrogant, and all-to-eager to fight each other to settle who is stronger. Picking fights with each other when they're supposed to be dealing with a threat is not uncommon. |
| 42 | * TheWorfEffect: If a hero is below S-rank, usually their role in the story is to showcase the power of the villain de jour by getting the snot beaten out of them. The only major exceptions are [[RenaissanceMan Amai Mask]], [[AlmightyJanitor Fubuki]], and [[InvincibleHero Saitama]]. |

| 45 | !!S-Class Heroes |
| 46 | |
| 47 | [[folder:S-Class Heroes (in general)]] |
| 48 | Beyond the A-Class of the Hero Association is a group of heroes whose power far surpasses that of the ordinary human: S-Class. S-Class Heroes are the highest-ranked and most powerful individuals in the Hero Association, and are so strong they typically can deal with Demon or Dragon-level threats by themselves, and are capable of protecting entire cities. There are 17 heroes who have been bestowed with the rank of S-Class. See [[Characters/OnePunchManSClassHeroes their page]] for info. |
| 49 | [[/folder]] |
| 50 | |
| 51 | !!A-Class Heroes |
| 52 | |
| 53 | [[folder:A-Class Heroes (in general)]] |
| 54 | They are the second highest rank in the Hero Association. There are 38 heroes in this class. |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: They are genuinely competent and powerful heroes but are overshadowed by the S-class and the Demon Threats (or higher). |
| 57 | * TheWorfEffect: Despite them being the second most powerful rank, they are usually seen getting beaten by threats more powerful than them whenever they make an appearance. For instance, an A-Class hero will defeat a bunch of giant monsters only to be clobbered by the toughest of them (Which are almost always Demon threat or higher). This means: [[GodzillaThreshold "Send in the S-Class."]] |

| 67 | |
| 68 | The number one A-Class hero, but also an idol, actor, singer, and general entertainer. Amai Mask is a recurring sight on television and is mostly seen promoting himself. However, he is still insanely strong, and harbors an extreme obsession with justice and disdain for monsters. He is also the proud gatekeeper of the S-Class, seeing it as his duty to remain in A-Class to make sure weak or unworthy heroes don't get too cocky. He eventually tells Saitama his real name: Beaut. |
| 69 | ----- |
| 70 | * HundredPercentHeroismRating: Amai Mask is the most popular hero in-universe... among the public, at least. He was rated as the most popular hero for 28 consecutive weeks, and people love him so much that they [[PerceptionFilter overlook]] his dark tendencies. Amongst the Association, however, he's treated with far more disdain, and the S-Class heroes in particular either ignore him or just plainly hate his guts. |
| 71 | * AlmightyJanitor: Downplayed as he is on the second highest rank of Heroes, but his powers are actually on par with at least mid S-Class Heroes. |
| 72 | * AntiHero: He's the kind of hero who is all too willing to dirty his hands to execute those who he perceives as "evil", all for the sake of his rigid definition of "justice". Genos says Amai Mask is basically how he could've turned out if Saitama didn't enter his life. |
| 73 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Evil Natural Water cuts his left arm off. Amai Mask just reattaches it.]] |
| 74 | * BadassInANiceSuit: [[spoiler:His second disguise shown against the robot army is a man in a business suit, who is able to kill all monsters and robots with ease.]] |
| 75 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: He certainly believes this. Subverted when he shows his true colors in battle. Garou calls him a horrid {{Narcissist}}. This is completely changed to PowerIsSexy. [[spoiler:His backstory gives a full explanation of why he believes this, and it is PlayedForDrama.]] |
| 76 | * BeautyIsBad: Kinda drives the point home given his hardline sense of right and wrong regarding villains, monsters, and people who defend them. Hell, he physically distorts when enraged or in battle to showcase this point. [[spoiler:Amai Mask even reveals that he's secretly a monster after becoming beautiful and that he was a formerly ugly heroic man.]] |
| 77 | * BecomingTheMask: His philosophy. [[spoiler:Amai Mask is of the opinion that people care only about appearances, thus it is important to project the right persona.]] |
| 78 | * BeneathTheMask: Under his lavish hero lifestyle, he's almost certainly hiding a few nasty secrets, [[MeaningfulName which sort of fits his hero name, really]]. |
| 79 | * BerserkButton: |
| 80 | ** Anything that tarnishes the image of a hero in the eyes of the public. Ugly things also push his buttons so much [[spoiler:that in his fight with Fuhrer Ugly, he flies off in a rage after looking at his face]]. |
| 81 | ** Amai Mask believes that image is the only thing that matters and that Saitama doesn't need to be the ideal hero, just be seen as one. Saitama himself has shunned his own image before to give other people the credit for his deeds. When Saitama asks why he can't just be himself in the eyes of the public, Amai Mask is furious [[spoiler:and starts to monsterify at the very thought]]. |
| 82 | * BeYourself: [[spoiler:Saitama gives this advice to Amai Mask. Saitama believes that keeping appearances is no different from being a puppet. Ultimately, how one views and accepts himself is more important and an ideal hero would never concern himself with appearances.]] |
| 83 | * BoringButPractical: Unlike other heroes, Amai Mask does not use special techniques or even names his attacks, he just uses ruthless, powerful strikes with his sheer strength to finish off his opponent. |
| 84 | * BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:Garou effortlessly defeats him, caving in half of his face right into his skull and knocking quite a few teeth out.]] |
| 85 | * BrokenAce: Amai Mask is very handsome, strong, and charismatic. He is a singer, model, and a TV star. He is also at the top of the A-Class, wields some influence over the Hero Association's top management, and rivals some S-Class heroes in terms of combat ability. However, Genos notes immediately that Amai Mask is similar to himself... except that Amai Mask has absolutely no compassion or empathy for the monsters, not even the [[SociopathicHero ones that have surrendered]]. Genos feels that he would've ended up the same way had he not met Saitama. |
| 86 | * BullyingADragon: In Chapter 93, he tries to muscle in on the planning phase for the assault on the Monster Association and not only demands to be brought along, but to be placed in command of said S-Class heroes. While most of them just ignore him (or try to placate him in the case of Child Emperor), Tornado, Zombieman, and particularly Flashy Flash get incensed at his rudeness and refusal to take no for an answer, with Flashy Flash outright threatening to fight him in the meeting room. |
| 87 | * DeathSeeker: {{Implied|Trope}}. He doesn't seem to particularly care if he dies, [[spoiler:or if he succumbs fully to the monsterfication and be eliminated, as long as he is able leave behind an "ideal hero" as a result. He believes that he'd be unable to continue his hero duties or resume his life once the truth is revealed, and thus, he does not see much point in living. Emphasized even further when he's pleased that Saitama returned when he has finally shown his true form and encourages Saitama to kill him so he'd be famous overnight]]. |
| 88 | -->'''Amai Mask:''' [[spoiler:Phew... This is a great chance. If you kill me right now, you'll become famous overnight. It would be my honor to witness the birth of the "ideal hero"... Huhu.]]\ |
| 89 | '''Saitama:''' Ha... You're still going on about that? You really are persistent.\ |
| 90 | '''Amai Mask:''' [[spoiler:Take a good look, it's too late for me. Please.]] |
| 91 | * DecliningPromotion: While he has the skills and powers to be in S-Class, he intentionally stays in A-Class to ensure that heroes who are "weak, good-for-nothing garbage" do not advance into the S-Class and make the Hero Association look bad. |
| 92 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: His name is Handsomely Masked Amai Mask. Speaks for itself. |
| 93 | * DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:The manga version of the Monster Association Arc’s climax considerably diminished Sweet Mask’s achievements compared to how it originally went in the Webcomic, in the manga some of his original feats are now shared with Iaian, he has more overt mental breakdowns due his body condition (an attempt to foreshadow a future development earlier), and he suffers more humiliating defeats than he did originally.]] |
| 94 | * DontYouDarePityMe: In the manga, [[spoiler:after Tatsumaki rescues him along with most of the other Heroes battling the Monster Association]], he becomes enraged by the looks of concern the other Heroes give him while he's still recovering from his encounter with Furher Ugly, to the point that he actually considers murdering them to maintain his image and reputation [[spoiler:until a flashback of Blast snaps him out of it]]. |
| 95 | * DubNameChange: His full title in Japan is "Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask", which is even more wordy than the redundant ninja names. The Viz translation renders his name "Amai Mask a.k.a. Handsome Kamen". |
| 96 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Appears in the anime in Episode 5 to welcome Genos to the Hero Association. |
| 97 | * EyeScream: His right eye gets pierced by Do-S tongue. Subverted however, since his eye isn't bleeding and instead [[FacialHorror his face got a bit cracked,]] revealing he's not a human being. |
| 98 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Although he appears earlier, the first time we see him actually doing his job as a hero counts as this. He gets a mission to capture an [[ItMakesSenseInContext escaped unfrozen caveman]] and return him alive. [[spoiler:Instead, he butchers the escapee on sight, and [[HundredPercentHeroismRating the people cheer him on]]. Granted, he was a monster that assaulted civillians, but still.]] |
| 99 | * TheFightingNarcissist: Called such by Garou, who points out the flaws of his BeautyEqualsGoodness mindset. |
| 100 | * FreakinessShame: [[spoiler:His Secret Mask days, before the beautiful human monster Amai Mask was born, had him wearing a helmet at all times, being deeply afraid of being demonized for his ugly appearance, trying all he could to enact acts of goodwill and simple heroics to appear beautiful on the outside]]. |
| 101 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: For the Hero Association's heroes, especially the S-Class. Practically every time he interacts with other heroes, his rude and abrasive behavior ends up pissing somebody off. Tornado flat out tells him that he wasn't included in the strategy meeting before the Monster Association raid because everyone hates him. |
| 102 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Does this to himself after Iaian triggers [[spoiler:a flashback to Blast]]. He'd been considering murdering the other heroes for seemingly threatening his image of an idol and a hero. He then smashes his head into the ground to regain some self-control. |
| 103 | * GlassCannon: [[spoiler:Compared to other Dragon-Level threats, he gets damaged more easily in his human form, but compensates for it with his HealingFactor.]] |
| 104 | * GoodAllAlong: His early appearances imply that he's a PunchClockHero or NominalHero at best. In reality, [[spoiler:he's actually trying to be as good as he can while struggling with his monstrous nature and deeply cares about his ideals]]. |
| 105 | * GoodIsNotNice: He's a hero, but apart from his celebrity persona, he's not a very pleasant person and is downright merciless. |
| 106 | * HesBack: [[spoiler:A while after the Supreme Hero arc in the webcomic, in The Organization assault against the Hero Association, it is revealed that Sweet Mask has completely abandoned any sense of identity, working as an incognito independent hero who takes different shapes to save others, at that moment he took the form of a Stag Beetle hero taken from the toy the kid he was about to save was holding]]. |
| 107 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: |
| 108 | ** [[spoiler:His face when he confronts the Monster Association warps and spasms in a nasty way, making him look downright freakishly terrifying, like he just took off the human mask he wore to let through the disfiguring anger and hatred for monsters he has inside.]] |
| 109 | ** [[spoiler:It happens again at the end of the Garou fight. Even when Garou has seemingly calmed down, Amai Mask is absolutely adamant Garou should die for being a monster, all the while making the scariest, most horrific face possible. He even uses it to scare the kid bystander (though he does tone it down a little bit for him), especially when the kid points out that Garou, y'know, didn't even kill anyone.]] |
| 110 | ** [[spoiler:It turns out this is played with; physically, he is ''already'' a monster, and was turning into one even before he became a hero. Rather than being obsessions that risk turning him into a villain, his strong obsession with justice and his hate for monsters are some of the only things keeping him on humanity's side.]] |
| 111 | * HealingFactor: [[spoiler:He has some vague survivability powers owed to his monsterfication, as in the webcomic, he can reattach lost limbs without a hassle and heal quickly from his face being caved in. It presumably received a buff in the transition to the manga as well, as he gets his [[OffWithHisHead head crushed to a pulp]] and gets ''[[{{Gorn}} completely split in half from the groin up]]'' by Fuhrer Ugly, only to regenerate just fine, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny albeit with his "favorite skinny jeans" ripped in half]].]] |
| 112 | * HeroicWillpower: |
| 113 | ** [[spoiler:It's an ability he actually invokes. His [[AnArmAndALeg arm gets sliced clean off]]... and he simply [[DismembermentIsCheap re-attaches his arm again]], and the arm still works.]] |
| 114 | ** [[spoiler:As it turns out, his character invokes this on a deeper level -- he's actually a monster who manages to stay on the side of humanity purely through his willpower, even though (like other monsters shown in the series) his transformation constantly pushes him towards a fanatical obsession with his focus.]] |
| 115 | * HenshinHero: [[spoiler:Amid the robot invasion, he transforms into a stag beetle hero based on a toy the boy he saves is holding complete with shouting out "Henshin". Although unlike other examples, this is done purely for the sake of keeping his identity a secret.]] |
| 116 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 117 | ** As self-absorbed as he may appear, Amai Mask is one of the rare people who is actually respectful towards Saitama. He deems Saitama to be an extremely worthy hero and plans to replace S-Class heroes with him. Amai Mask does have a strong sense of justice (albeit warped by his need to keep a perfect appearance). |
| 118 | ** [[spoiler:Amai Mask explains that he was born with an ugly face and initially believed that it was important to adhere to morality. No matter how many good deeds he did, people never took notice of him, prompting him to wear a mask and destroy all records of his past within the Hero Association. Over the months, the schism in his personality triggered the monsterification process within him, granting him a muscular body and a handsome face. That was when people began to notice him and listen to what he had to say. Amai believes that killing monsters without remorse is what slows down his monsterification. He also came to believe that people care only about appearances. Nevertheless, he intends to groom Saitama into a suitable hero, who would protect the masses before Amai Mask becomes a complete monster.]] |
| 119 | * HulkingOut: [[spoiler:His monster form is more muscular and uglier than his human disguise and is also stronger although his clothes do not break since he can just shapeshift clothing onto himself.]] |
| 120 | * {{Humanshifting}}: [[spoiler:After the Supreme Hero arc the Hero Association got intel that Sweet Mask has fully evolved his abilities to become a complete shapeshifter, changing his appearance entirely to go into hiding in plain sight, blending within the crowd as a complete new and unidentified person]]. [[spoiler:After that, in the massive cyborg assault enacted by The Organization he comes back into the fray, completely separated from any group working as a lone hero, taking the form of a Stag Beetle Toy warrior at that moment to save child’s life with his next form being a businessman in a suit]]. |
| 121 | * HunterOfHisOwnKind: [[spoiler:Is a ruthless killer of monsters despite being a monster himself. Justified, since his monster biology causes him to feel an intense natural bloodlust and he'll inevitably direct it at humans if left unchecked; killing monsters instead to satiate it buys him some time.]] |
| 122 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He has no problem berating other heroes for not "living up to their responsibilities" despite frequently ignoring monster attacks to further his career as a singer/actor. [[spoiler:Played with in that he has a justification for his behavior; he considers his career as a singer/actor to be a part of his responsibilities for the sake of the Hero Association's PR.]] |
| 123 | * IAmAMonster: [[spoiler:He knows full well that his own complex about beauty and ugliness turned him into a mysterious being with his sense of justice being the only thing preventing him from completely going off the deep end. This is also why he won't fight back if a hero finds and tries to apprehend him.]] |
| 124 | * ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:He does not fight back against the Soda Pop Boys since he sees them as heroes apprehending a monster, which in this case is himself. So after they beat him up for a bit, he pretends to go unconscious with them taking him in.]] |
| 125 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's a total jerk, especially to heroes who don't meet his standards. He berates the S-Class heroes for not preventing City A's destruction, even though there was nothing they could have done to prevent it, calls Genos a disappointment after he lost to the Deep Sea King, calls Zombieman a monster because of his immortality, says that Atomic Samurai's disciples are too weak to be included in the Monster Association raid and should commit seppuku if they're taken hostage... you get the picture. |
| 126 | * KnightTemplar: He believes that all monsters must be killed, even if they are of no threat or if given explicit orders to capture them alive. |
| 127 | * LetsGetDangerous: After facing a monster he can't beat, Amai Mask decides to [[spoiler:let his true monster form out to win]]. |
| 128 | * MerchandiseDriven: Go ahead, give him even a small amount of room to promote some of his merchandise. He'll talk about it whether or not you prompted him. He happens to be the public face of the Hero Association, and although he has pull in the organization, it's not quite known how much influence he ''does'' have. If anything, though, he has more than it appears. |
| 129 | * MotiveDecay: At first, he thought that he should just do good deeds to make up for the fact that he was ugly. That spiraled out of control when he was never recognized. First, he covered his face, then he destroyed records of him, [[spoiler:then he became a beautiful monster]], and eventually all that mattered to him was appearances. |
| 130 | * TheNeedsOfTheMany: While explaining his ideology to Saitama, Amai Mask reveals that he follows utilitarian ethics and will unhesitatingly sacrifice a small number of people for the greater good. |
| 131 | * NightmareFace: When he gets especially angry, his eyes become bloodshot, and veins pop across his flesh, making him look even more fearsome than the monsters he fights. |
| 132 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:When he faces off against Pesky Clown, he learns that the monster gets stronger with attention. But when he calls for the crowd to evacuate, he instead attracts an even bigger crowd because people want to get a glimpse of the most popular hero. And then even more people start watching through the media. This powers up Pesky Clown so much that Amai Mask is forced to transform into his true monstrous form. The arc culminates in Amai Mask going from a beloved hero to a fugitive who's lost all his human rights.]] |
| 133 | * NoPlaceForMeThere: [[spoiler:Amai Mask's dream is to create an ideal hero that will lead humanity to victory over the monsters. He can't be that ideal hero because he's a monster himself, and knows his time is limited before he fully gives in to his monstrous nature. When he eventually sheds his human form and is unable to turn back, he's willing and honored to sacrifice his life by allowing Saitama to kill him so Saitama can be that ideal hero.]] |
| 134 | * MeaningfulName: His hero alias, "Amai Mask" turns out to be literal considering that he's actually an [[spoiler:extremely hideous-looking monster taking the form of a beautiful man.]] |
| 135 | * ThePerfectionist: Together with his BeautyEqualsGoodness belief, he also advocates the idea that a hero should ''always'' be a paragon of perfection, especially when it comes to their job. To him, if you're a high-ranking hero, you have to do your damn job ''perfectly'': not only saving lives and stopping the threat, but also making sure that nothing gets destroyed and not suffering a single injury or scratch. He chastises the S-Class heroes who stopped the alien invasion by telling them that they're failures for letting A City be destroyed, despite the fact that they stopped the invasion and only knew about the threat after they got out of the Hero Association HQ and found the city already in shambles. [[spoiler:Amai Mask states that part of this attitude comes from his desire to see a "true" hero emerge before he fully succumbs to his monsterization.]] |
| 136 | * PetTheDog: He usually does nothing but denigrate and talk down to other heroes, but he was genuinely complimentary towards Feather's fighting prowess during the assault on the Monster Association headquarters. |
| 137 | * PowerIsSexy: Amai Mask starts believing in the "Beauty of Overwhelming Power" after he [[spoiler:watches Saitama [[CurbStompBattle utterly defeat Garou]]]]. He even berates an upcoming boy band, calling them inferior to [[spoiler:Saitama]], signifying his obsession with the hero. |
| 138 | * PrettyBoy: He's got "handsome" in his hero name and is good looking enough to be a model/TV celebrity. |
| 139 | * PunchClockHero: |
| 140 | ** He is heroic only when he is out performing hero work. The rest of the time, he considers himself to be just a model and a singer. |
| 141 | ** In one of his first appearances in the comic he appears as the special guest of a news anchor discussing the Deep Sea King's assault, and swiftly rebukes the man for asking him to comment as a hero on the situation -- he's just there to promote a new song of his. |
| 142 | ** Even worse, during the Alien Invasion arc, the reason he didn't show up to defend City A is that he was filming a drama the next town over. Doesn't stop him from [[{{Jerkass}} berating the other heroes who did show up for failing to live up to his standards]], though. |
| 143 | ** [[spoiler:{{Subverted|Trope}} when his deeper motivations are explored in the Supreme Hero arc; it turns out that Amai Mask does have a sense of justice, and all of his work as an entertainer was taken seriously solely for the purpose of creating a perfect image that humanity could find hope in. When Amai Mask feels that he no longer can be that beacon of hope (due his monster nature), he doesn't cling to it, hoping for Saitama to become that symbol instead.]] |
| 144 | * RazorSharpHand: He metes justice on evil by chopping their heads off with his bare hands. |
| 145 | * RenaissanceMan: He's a professional hero, a recording artist, a model, and a TV star. |
| 146 | * {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:Due to later story developments in the webcomic firmly establishing Amai Mask as more heroic, despite his difficult personality, the manga had its original new events concerning his actions around the Do-S fight slightly altered, in order to make Amai seem less of a total asshole verging on villain territory.]] |
| 147 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:He's actually a monster, having undergone the transformation before he became famous. While he staves off the mental shift such a process causes, he notes that his time is limited before he succumbs to his inner nature permanently.]] |
| 148 | * ShootTheHostage: [[spoiler:In the original version of chapter 103, he sends off Atomic Samurai's disciples while he deals with the Narinki Squad, but they don't return to help like they do in the current revision. Instead, as soon as the trio are out of sight he slaughters the entire squad, before ruthlessly dealing with Do-S herself. This was changed to make him less comically evil.]] |
| 149 | * SmugSuper: He has all the stuff needed to be one of the S-Class heroes, but purposely remains as the top A-ranker. However, he's not shy about telling other heroes that they suck, and that he's better than them in every way. He even tells Atomic Samurai (the #4 S-Class Hero) that he's stronger than him to his face, though whether that's true or just arrogance talking is up for debate. [[spoiler:Considering that in his true monster form Amai Mask is ''at least'' Dragon-level considering the power of the monster that finally forced him to reveal it, he likely wasn't lying, or at a bare minimum, he could definitely give Atomic Samurai a hard time.]] |
| 150 | * SociopathicHero: Shows no mercy to anybody he considers an enemy. His sociopathic tendencies are shown most prominently when he encounters a group of enthralled mercenaries. Despite realizing that they're mind-controlled (and that killing the mind-controller would free them) and being so outclassed that they were barely a threat to him, he still [[spoiler:originally brutally rips the whole group to shreds (literally) because that was easier than incapacitating or avoiding them, before killing the surrendering monster who'd enthralled them. Note that he'd dismissed the other heroes beforehand (who'd been trying to non-lethally take down the group), showing that this action was likely premeditated. This was {{retcon}}ned into Amai only knocking them out once he noticed Atomic Samurai's disciples were watching perhaps because it was ''too'' sociopathic, although even in the new version he still struggled with deciding whether or not to just kill them all for being soft on evil. Amai Mask himself states that at least a part of this attitude comes from him being a monster.]] |
| 151 | * TakeUpMySword: To [[spoiler:Saitama]]. Amai Mask reveals that [[spoiler:he doesn't have much time left before he transforms into a monster, so he wants Saitama to inherit his role and become a symbol to unite people]]. |
| 152 | * TooLongDidntDub: The dub calls him "Amai Mask", presumably in order to fit the lip movements. |
| 153 | * TragicHero: [[spoiler:He was initially an ugly man, who believed in beauty from within, which motivated him to become a hero, but his own complex transformed him into a beautiful monster with a warped mind with him fearing that he would fully lose his humanity one day and become a threat to the ones he swore to protect.]] |
| 154 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: On the receiving end of this from [[spoiler:Neo Heroes, who believe they can easily kill him for the publicity after his identity as a monster is revealed to the public]]. For the record not only is Amai Mask the top of A-Class and considered strong enough to be a part of S-Class, [[spoiler:but his monster form is at least a Dragon-Level threat capable of killing other Dragon-Level monsters with ease. The only reason why the Neo Soda Pop Boys managed to take him in is because he didn't fight back since he recognizes that he is a monster]]. |
| 155 | * {{Unperson}}: [[spoiler:His past identity, Secret Mask, the former ugly man who tried to be beautiful on the inside, was completely erased from the Hero Association database on Amai's own request. As far as the public is concerned, Secret Mask simply doesn't exist and Amai Mask is a completely separate hero]]. [[spoiler:In the Supreme Hero arc, after Amai revealed his true monster form to save the crowd from Pesky Clown's rampage the consequences were final to Amai Mask's identity, the Hero Association erased all of his accomplishments, his entertainment career followed suit in being completely eliminated, from that point onwards Amai Mask is no more, there was just a monster assigned to be killed on the spot for whoever finds it]]. |
| 156 | * WalkingSpoiler: A certain later reveal quite dramatically recontextualizes his character. |
| 157 | * WeaksauceWeakness: He just can't deal with really ugly-looking people. [[spoiler:This comes back to bite him later when he encounters an ugly Mysterious Being, and his body practically freezes stiff from looking at it.]] |
| 158 | * {{Workaholic}}: He overworks himself with his hero and idol activities and doesn't seem to have much of a life outside of work. [[spoiler:{{Justified|Trope}} with TheReveal of his true nature as a monster; if he doesn't constantly distract himself with his work, he'll eventually be unable to control himself at all and will start killing humans.]] |

| 167 | Atomic Samurai's best disciple. A serious swordsman and dedicated hero, he follows his master everywhere and admires him greatly. |
| 168 | ---- |
| 169 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: Sorta. In the original manga version, he blindly believed Sweet Mask about dealing with the brainwashed mercenaries in a non-fatal fashion. [[spoiler:In the redrawn version, he feels the KillingIntent coming off of Sweet Mask so he orders his comrades back and quickly deals with the brainwashed mercs before Sweet Mask can decapitate them all. Then he ''pretends'' to be naive enough to think that Sweet Mask wanted them to commit to the feint. Based on the looks they give each other, Sweet Mask knows Iairon doesn't actually believe that Sweet Mask's plan was for them to feign a retreat. Sweet Mask excuses the implied insult and lack of trust because he realizes he was about to lose control and do something monstrous. Bushidrill decides to do away with the IKnowYouKnowIKnow games and calls Amai out on trying to kill the merc team to which Amai denies everything.]] |
| 170 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Loses his arm thanks to Melzargard, so quickly in fact that he doesn't react.]] |
| 171 | * BadassNormal: He's just a guy who, for all intents and purposes, is just really good with a sword. Those skills have taken him to the second-highest rank in A-Class. And since Amai Mask himself already has S-Class level power and could rise anytime he wanted to, this technically makes him the strongest of the A-Class. He's even able to keep up with the Dragon-level Melzalgard for an extended period of time. |
| 172 | ** To wit. During the battle against Rhino Wrestler (who gives scores to the strength of their opponent's attacks), the highest score the other heroes could get from the monster? 30. Iairon's score? 69. In fact, Atomic Samurai states that the only reason why Iairon seemed to be struggling so much is because he stubbornly kept attacking Rhino Wrestler's horn, the strongest part of the monster's body. |
| 173 | * CoolHelmet: Until it gets quickly destroyed. |
| 174 | * DubNameChange: In Japan his name is "Iaian", while the Viz translation romanizes it into "Iairon". |
| 175 | * HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:After he gets his arm blown off fighting Melzalgard, he's ''still'' considered the 2nd ranked A-Class Hero.]] |
| 176 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: After he and his fellow apprentices have difficulty fighting a group of mind-controlled mercenaries without hurting them, he decides to let Amai Mask handle them alone and leaves simply upon the Hero's insistence, not realizing the number one A-rank is a SociopathicHero who simply wanted the three of them out of the way in order to kill everyone without hindrance. |
| 177 | ** Averted in the redraw, where they turn back because they suspect Amai Mask might be up to something questionable. |
| 178 | * HumbleHero: Very much, quite a few times he thinks to himself that despite his high placement, he's got a long way to go to become a S-Class Hero. |
| 179 | * IaijitsuPractitioner: Fittingly enough. |
| 180 | * IdealHero: In direct contrast to Amai Mask, Iairon does everything in his power to do the right thing. In many ways, Amai Mask is Iairon's opposite as they are both very beautiful men on the outside. |
| 181 | * KnightInShiningArmor: His whole motif. In contrast to his Western-style plate armor, however, his sword and fighting technique are both Japanese-styled. |
| 182 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: After [[spoiler:getting his arm blown clean off by Melzargard]] all he does is grin and bear it, too shocked at the speed and power of the attack to even wince. |
| 183 | * MeaningfulName: His name is based on "iai" and "aian" (iron), referring both to his swordsmanship and his armored appearance. |
| 184 | * NiceGuy: Unlike his mentor, he's a very noble warrior, taking care of Amai Mask for him to not slaughter innocent mercenaries. |
| 185 | * OnlyAFleshWound: Downplayed. [[spoiler:When he loses his arm to Melzalgard, he's noticeably holding his maimed arm throughout the rest of the fight and sitting it out, but despite ''losing an arm'' he spends the rest of the fight holding himself together without screaming bloody murder and instead providing commentary.]] |
| 186 | * StudentAndMasterTeam: With Atomic Samurai, mostly in the latter part of Monster Association Arc. |
| 187 | * ThrowTheDogABone: For his part in helping against the invasion (where he got pretty badly maimed) he got to tag along with the S-Class Heroes and Saitama when they're given an expensive vacation at a hotel. |

| 197 | ---- |
| 198 | * AffectionateNickname: Iaian calls her "Kama". |
| 199 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Her weakness is she is easily distracted by beautiful opponents, to Bushidrill and Iaian's exhasperation. |
| 200 | * HasAType: Apparently she has fallen in love with a lot of beautiful, male monsters to the point that the other two apprentices can instantly tell she has fallen for Devil Long Hair. [[spoiler:Given that she is attracted to Amai Mask, this is a rather subtle hint to Amai's true nature.]] |
| 201 | * MeaningfulName: Her name is a combination of "Okama" (transvestite) and "Kamaitachi" (sickle weasel). |
| 202 | * NightmareFetishist: She seems to have a thing specifically for male ''monsters'' in a world where monsters are for the most part AlwaysChaoticEvil. |
| 203 | * RazorWind: Her specialty and signature move. Apparently her skill in it is unrivaled, though she faces problems when opponents can counter it as she's been laser focused on training it to perfection, to the detriment of any other major technqiues. |

He spends several seconds blocking Evil Natural Water's shots until he is forced to retreat. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the reason he tries so hard to block them is because he wasn't ready to block when ENW hit and fatally wounded Tongara.]] |

| 220 | * ThisIsADrill: Uses two long conical drills instead of katana. |

Bushidrill expects that Tongara, the leader of Narinki's private squad did some questionable stuff in wartime and is the type to abandon others or use them as shields to save himself.

| 247 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: It's not really his fault in the Webcomic, but him being the first well-known hero to stumble across [[spoiler:Amai Mask]] in his monster form is incredibly bad luck. [[note]]Blue Fire has zero tolerance for monsters as he attacked Garou for just claiming to be one, so he wouldn't trust Amai Mask. He is also smart and wouldn't attack Amai which would at least have a chance of Amai snapping out of it and trying to explain himself. He also isn't that understanding of a person, so he wouldn't notice that Amai is feeling vulnerable and upset, not homicidal and losing control. Lastly, he isn't charismatic enough to negotiate with Amai or the crowd to ease tensions. The result is him staring horrified and indecisively at Amai while he mutters about Amai being a monster and the crowd eggs him on and berates and provokes Amai. Other heroes like Death Gatling, Stinger, Smile Man, or the S-Class heroes would have at least confronted Amai and forced a discussion or dispersed the crowd.[[/note]] |

| 273 | |

| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * AllForNothing: He spent much of the battle against the giant octopus monster observing its actions in order to formulate a plan with the other A-Class Heroes to kill it. Then [[BigDamnHeroes Flashy Flash]] showed up to ([[NiceJobBreakingItHero and fails to]]) kill it himself and render that planning useless. |
| 277 | * AnimeHair: He looks like a typical {{Shonen}} main character with his long unkempt spiky hair. |
| 278 | * ArmCannon: Of the "replaces limb" variety. |
| 279 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: Death Gatling is very strategic when up against monsters. |
| 280 | * BottomlessMagazines: Downplayed. While he fires '''far''' more bullets than a single person could realistically carry on their person, he does have a finite supply of ammunition. A limitation that Garou [[FakeArmDisarm happily exploits]] to further humiliate him. |
| 281 | * FaceOfAThug: Despite his scary and hardened face, he is a man of righteousness. |
| 282 | * {{Foil}}: To Garou, ironically. Both are fighting for the recognition of the "little guys" - however, Death Gatling's still fighting for prestigious heroes who are accepted by society. Garou is fighting for monsters and all other outcasts; the lowest of the low. Thus Garou finds his plight completely overblown and pathetic. |
| 283 | * GatlingGood: His main weapon, which replaces his [[ArtificialLimbs left arm]]. |
| 284 | * GloryHound: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Gatling implicitly didn't alert any S-Class heroes to Garou's location because he wanted himself and the other A-Class heroes to get full credit, but not out of greed. Rather, he just wanted to prove that lower-ranked heroes are just as capable and demand respect. |
| 285 | * GoodIsNotSoft: He may be a hero, he may even refuse to ShootTheHostage, but he won't hesitate to kill someone if he deems them too much of a threat. He tells Garou as much before unleashing his [[MoreDakka Death Shower]] on him. |
| 286 | * MoreDakka: His ultimate attack, "Death Shower", unleashes every last bullet he has into a rain of death that annihilates everything in front of him so thoroughly it might as well be a WaveMotionGun. Of course, since it uses every last bullet in his arsenal, [[DeathOrGloryAttack if his enemy somehow survives he's pretty much screwed]]. |
| 287 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: And he '''hates''' it. He keeps bringing together teams of lesser heroes to show the community that they are just as good as the S-Class heroes or to show, at the very least, that even lower-ranked heroes can protect people. His teams are almost always outdone or outright beaten. He claims that he doesn't care about rankings, but his speech to Garou just shows how insecure he is about being outdone at every turn. |
| 288 | * PrideBeforeAFall: As Garou points out, had Gatling actually called in an S-Class hero to back him and his team up, they likely would've actually been able to apprehend him. |

| 314 | * AnimeHair: Unkempt spiky hair, so much that he looks like [[Manga/{{Eyeshield21}} Hiruma]]. |
| 315 | * BadassNormal: He has no special powers, just great athletic ability and that spear of his. While he does take a lot of damage in the process, he single-handedly took out most of the Sea King's underlings on his own. Each of them was, individually, ranked a Tiger-level disaster. The main reason he took any damage? Because he was worried that his ultimate attack would hurt the innocent bystanders cheering him on. Given that it one-shot four opponents in one go, he was probably right. |
| 316 | * DeathFromAbove: Is able to rip off a cat monster's limb from above this way. |
| 317 | * {{Expy}}: His outfit and fighting style make him resemble Lancer from VisualNovel/FateStayNight. |
| 318 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: The moment he sees the cat monster they were fighting was just a larger monster's spawn, he tells Lightning Genji they should retreat. |
| 319 | * ReusedCharacterDesign: Looks like a black-haired Hiruma from ''Manga/{{Eyeshield21}}''. |
| 320 | * SmallNameBigEgo: While he is better than most examples, he is a wee bit on the egotistical side. During the Seafolk invasion, which was level Tiger, he thinks he fended off level God opponents, which are threats that can destroy the human race. |
| 321 | * WeaponSpecialization: His weapon is a pole with a spearhead-like bamboo shoot on the end. The bamboo shoot is from his family's farm, and he changes them for each new mission. |

| 334 | * FourIsDeath: Has several dice holding her twin-tailed hair up that have the number 4 on all of their sides. This is emphasized when she slaughters several monster mooks. |

| 350 | * ShoutOut: His appearance and GeniusBruiser design resembles the classical depiction of Creator/{{Plato}}, who, in addition to being a philosopher, was an olympic gold-medalist wrestler. |
| 351 | * ThrowTheBookAtThem: While he tries to understand the feelings of monsters, he inevitably fails to get an answer and ends up beating them to death with his giant book instead. |
| 352 | * TheWorfEffect: Well over twice as strong as a bear and can take down a Tiger level threat with relative ease. When a large group of such monsters gang up on him though, he's left badly injured and has to be rescued by the Neo Heroes who he remarks on lacking skill, but nonetheless being stronger, faster and more resilient than him. |

| 408 | |
| 409 | A sniper who wields a .50 caliber rifle and wears an eyepiece. He is among the surface team in the Monster Association raid. |
| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | * BadassNormal: A guy who only has his rifle and makes damn good use of it. |
| 412 | * BoringButPractical: ImprobableAimingSkills aside, he's just a guy with a gun big enough to kill monsters, no special powers needed. |
| 413 | * BornUnlucky: Apparently, his gun ALWAYS jams at the most inopportune times. |
| 414 | * ColdSniper: An unusual example as he is friendly, but seems dreary and depressed. Played with as he is prone to panic when his gun jams. |
| 415 | * {{Cyborg}}: Has a cybernetic eyepatch that assists with his aiming. |
| 416 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Gets his moment with a few other heroes during raid on MA's base in Chapter 96. |
| 417 | * FriendlySniper: He's one of the few heroes actually in the rescue team because he is legitimately concerned for the child that the Monster Association kidnapped. |
| 418 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's nearly killed by Nyan performing a BulletCatch [[CatchAndReturn and Return]] on his attempted shot. |
| 419 | * HumbleHero: After he shoots an enemy sniper, the surface team asks what the hell he was aiming at. He doesn't bother to explain that he just made a near impossible shot that saved Twin Tail's life. |
| 420 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: The man saw a monster sniper several blocks away on a skyscraper. After the sniper fired, One-Shotter fired his weapon, hit the enemy's projectile in mid-air, destroyed it, hit the scope of the sniper's rifle, and blew the guy's head away. Mind you that the sniper wasn't even aiming for him so to match the trajectory of the sniper's bullet and even see the damn thing to hit it midair and STILL hit his target's scope dead center is so beyond impossible that it's ludicrous. What is in that eyepiece of his? |
| 421 | * LogicalWeakness: |
| 422 | ** Subverted - Having a long unwieldy sniper rifle for a weapon, several monsters believe that he's helpless at close range and attempt to rush him, only for him to reveal [[ImprobableAimingSkills he's so fast and skilled]] with it that he can shoot several targets near instantly even when they're almost on top of him. |
| 423 | ** Played straight, however, in that he only has the rifle for a weapon, so when it jams, [[ReliablyUnreliableGuns which is apparently often]], he becomes completely helpless till he can fix it. |
| 424 | ** Additionally, the cybernetic eyepatch he relies on for aiming gets shattered, making it impossible for him to aim properly without assistance. |
| 425 | * LudicrousGibs: He uses an anti-material rifle, which is meant to penetrate tank armor and whose bullets turn into mini fragmentation grenades upon piercing through walls, on live flesh and blood targets. Needless to say, even monsters are reduced to a fine red mist when he shoots them. |
| 426 | * ReliablyUnreliableGuns: His gun apparently jams a ''lot'', usually at the most inopportune times. |
| 427 | * NotSoStoic: Comes off as cold, yet empathetic. He's not in it for the money, but to save lives. When confronted by monsters trying to melee him, he just shoots them point blank... until his gun jams and he runs panicking. Apparently, he doesn't have a holdout weapon. He also gets unusually boisterous and joyful when Gearsper uses his psychic powers to act as his aiming eye. |
| 428 | * ShortRangeLongRangeWeapon: His sniper rifle makes him look unable to defend himself up close, but One-Shotter is very agile and handy enough to avoid strikes and shoot monsters in the head at the same time. |

| 500 | * AdaptationExpansion: In the manga, he appears during the battle against Monster Association, fighting Black Sperm. |
| 501 | * AlmightyJanitor: Nichirin stated that the only reason Mustachio is at the bottom tiers of the A-Class heroes is because he settles for being there. Apparently, he could be an S-Class hero with his abilities, but his attacks are too destructive to use at full strength when there are civilians nearby. This is shown when he keeps up with the other master swordsmen while fighting Black Sperm. |
| 502 | * CoolOldGuy: Spring Mustachio is a 47-year old man, probably past his prime. However, he fights equally among much younger A-Class heroes. |

| 522 | * CombatPragmatist: Sure he fights with his fists, but he's also shown bashing a monster with a concrete block and kneeing another one in the guts. |
| 523 | * DaintyCombat: He prides himself on his "beautiful combat". [[SubvertedTrope It's anything but.]] The only thing that makes it "beautiful" is the fact that he tosses a rose in the air and catches it in his mouth, no matter how awkward of a posture he has to contort himself in to do so.

| 526 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Narcisstoic seems to use anything available to him. He is seen using a concrete block to bash a monster's head in, and later is seen to have been using a street sign as a pole. |
| 527 | * MeaningfulName: Played with. His hero name is combination of words "{{narcissist}}" and "[[TheStoic stoic]]" but the former is [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] since he's just arrogant and a show-off and the latter is [[AvertedTrope averted]] since with his pride alone he doesn't even qualify as one. |

| 559 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives a rather subdued and calm one to Blue by telling him that Blue doesn't really feel like a top-class hero due to being too young, too serious, too naive, and lacking in actual charisma. He then goes further by noting that in spite of the Neo Heroes' efficiency in killing monsters, the heroes themselves are [[FacelessGoons easily replaceable]], which includes Blue himself. |
| 560 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Demanded respect from Saitama for being his senior insofar as being a resident of the same apartment, despite being a year younger than him. |
| 561 | * StatingTheSimpleSolution: Played with since he doesn't know the full circumstances behind Blast and Blue, but he outright asks Blue why he doesn't just ask his dad for help if he wants to contact the Hero Association's higher-ups instead of trying it with Saitama. |

| 570 | A ninja who wields a sword and practices ninjutsu techniques. Under the garb is a woman, and she is among the surface team sent to fight the Monster Association. |
| 571 | ---- |
| 572 | * BigBeautifulWoman: She's actually very stout under her robes. Likely a fair amount of muscle mixed with body fat. |
| 573 | * CompressedHair: How exactly she gets her pigtails to not bulge under the hood is unknown, but impressive. |
| 574 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Gets her moment with a few other heroes during raid on MA's base in Chapter 96. |
| 575 | * GirlishPigtails: Under her mask and hood, she's shown to keep her hair in a pair of large pigtails. |
| 576 | * HiddenBuxom: After Nyan's attack shreds her outfit, she's shown to be fairly busty under her clothes. |
| 577 | * HighlyVisibleNinja: Wears stereotypical ninja garb in broad daylight, but makes up for it by being very fast and surprisingly stealthy to get in her enemy's blind spots. |
| 578 | * MultilayerFacade: Underneath her face-concealing mask and hood she wears a DominoMask. |
| 579 | * MysteriousPast: The only thing we know about her is that she isn't from Flashy Flash's village which is also a mysterious place. She is incredibly nervous around Flashy Flash as their villages are apparently rivals. If Flash was one of his village's more nasty members, he might have had it out for her. Despite his respect of her, she doesn't seem to want to take the risk of ticking him off, so she quickly excuses herself from his presence (that or she has a crush on him or something). [[spoiler:Her being on the team along with Gearsper and Jet Nice Guy is also suspicious. Since Gearsper is probably a spy or Manchurian Agent, Jet Nice Guy's enhancements are suspect, and her extreme fear of Flashy Flash may all be related. If she knows that Flashy Flash hunts down underground organizations, he would be the last person she would want to encounter.]] |
| 580 | * NinjaBrat: It is implied Shadow Ring is still inexperienced, especially compared to Flashy Flash. |
| 581 | * NinjaLog: Uses one to fake having her head sliced open, though judging from her relief it was a close miss. |
| 582 | * SamusIsAGirl: Her ninja garb does a good job of hiding her face and body, to the point that if it weren't for Flash offhandedly noting it, it would be easy to assume she's a man. |
| 583 | * SuperSpeed: While nowhere near the level of Sonic or Flash, she pulls some pretty impressive feats of speed off while blitzing monsters in the Monster Association raid. |
| 584 | * WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have a lot of raw power, as she gets some of the lowest "scores" while fighting Rhino Wrestler, but her skills as a ninja are such that even Flashy Flash praises them. |

| 628 | A kusarigama-wielding martial artist who wears a frog mask as a cheap gimmick. |
| 629 | ---- |
| 630 | * AdaptationExpansion: Like Stinger, he didn't fight Garou in the webcomic. |
| 631 | * BladeOnARope: Carries a chained weapon called a ''kusarigama'' to fight with. |
| 632 | * DubNameChange: His original name is "Kusarigama". He is also merely called "Chain Toad" in the Viz translation. |
| 633 | * {{Foil}}: To Amai Mask and other costumed characters. [[spoiler:The ones that turn into monsters.]] Chain'n'Toad occasionally takes off his costume and is willing to show his real face to people especially when he eats and drinks. He has no problems with his own looks, he's just trying to get a bit more popularity and while he knows it isn't that effective, he just likes the gimmick. [[spoiler:This is probably what has saved him from turning into a monster and merging with his suit. He isn't as attached to it as Amai was to his mask or Phoenix Man was to his suit.]] |
| 634 | * HonorBeforeReason: While he could get instantly stronger by switching over to Neo Heroes and getting their equipment, he does not consider it due to not wanting to rely on such a shallow strength [[spoiler:after seeing Saitama's strength. This turns out to be a good idea as the Neo Heroes are heavily implied to be artificially creating disasters, use their men as fodder and test subjects, and can use the suits to take over their bodies if they don't bother to turn them into brainwashed cyborgs first.]] |
| 635 | * KidAppealCharacter: In-universe; wearing that headgear makes him a little bit more popular amongst children. |
| 636 | * MeaningfulName: His Japanese name "Kusarigama" is a pun on his weapon, since "gama" is also the word for the cattail plants that grow near wetlands. |

| 643 | [[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snake_fist_anime.png]] |
| 644 | |
| 645 | A martial artist of the Biting Snake Fist style who wears a protective snakeskin suit. Despite being one of the lowest-ranked A-Class heroes, he is also employed as a lecturer of prospective heroes. |
| 646 | ----- |
| 647 | * AdaptationExpansion: He is a more prominent character in the manga and anime than in the webcomic. Getting a ADayInTheLimelight in the Super Fight Arc. |
| 648 | * AnimalMotifs: Wears a snakeskin suit, utilizes a snake-based martial art style in combat ([[AnimalBattleAura with a snake-shaped aura appearing around his hands when he uses his attacks]]), and his name is Snek. [[SnakesAreSinister He also has a rather treacherous personality.]] |
| 649 | ** AnimalThemedFightingStyle: Snek fights using "Biting Snake Fist", a FantasticFightingStyle based on Snake Kung Fu. All of his attacks are accompanied by an image of a viper striking. |
| 650 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Thought he could newbie-crush Saitama... despite being told a few minutes ago that Saitama broke every single physical record in the Hero Association. He gets a little better by the tournament arc and accepts that there are people out of his league, but it's still there to an extent. |
| 651 | * BigEgoHiddenDepths: At first when we meet him, Snek is an arrogant individual, who thinks that lower ranked heroes should respect him, even though he himself isn't that strong. However, he seems to be aware of this, as he receives a beating pretty much every time we see him in action. Later during Super Fight arc, we get a bit of his past and his doubts about being a worthy hero, with how much monsters are appearing lately and him meeting stronger individuals than him. It turns out that he simply has standards about heroes and he does care about protecting civilians, which is a far cry from Suiryu's hedonistic attitude. |
| 652 | * BullyingADragon: His attempt at hazing Saitama doesn't quite work out as well as he hoped it would. He does at least end up better than most of Saitama's foes. |
| 653 | * ButtMonkey: Poor guy gets humiliated in one way or another whenever he appears. He does get a moment to shine in the tournament arc in the manga. He gets to kick some ass and even gets a chance to be heroic in a fight against impossible odds. [[spoiler:Like the other heroes there, he gets his ass handed to him easily, but he at least gets to show he's no coward.]] |
| 654 | * CowardlyLion: Still tried to fight the Sea King even though he knew he wouldn't be able to harm it. |
| 655 | * ADayInTheLimelight: In his fight with Suiryu, we see a bit of his past and him thinking about wether some people really need to be protected. |
| 656 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Ever so slightly downplayed compared to characters like Sonic, but it's clear his hero name in both Japanese and English is a thinly-veiled corruption of the word 'Snake', and his epithet is 'Snakebite'. |
| 657 | * EveryoneHasStandards: His arrogance is pretty low compared to Suiryu, as Snek as disgusted by the fighter's [[TheSocialDarwinist worldview]]. |
| 658 | %%* JerkassToOne[=/=]JerkWithAHeartInGold: |
| 659 | * KnightInSourArmor: He knows deep down that despite being an A-Class Hero, he's not that powerful, but despite the increase of monsters, he keeps fighting and protecting citizens. |
| 660 | * MySuitIsAlsoSuper: His Snakeskin suit is actually made for him by the Hero Association from the skin of a monster he defeated. This suit protects Snek from suffering very serious injuries because it is highly resistant to any form of attack. |
| 661 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: While he did earn his A-rank, he's still the weakest within that rank. |
| 662 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is sometimes spelled "Sneck" instead, depending on translation. |
| 663 | * ThrowTheDogABone: He gets one in the manga-exclusive tournament arc. In the first match his opponent assumed he was weak since he was the lowest ranking hero, but Snek defeats him easily. Afterwards [[spoiler:he saves Suiryu's life along with Lightning Max, while he's wearing a special suit capable of deflecting attacks.]] |
| 664 | * TookALevelInKindness: It seems that after meeting Saitama, a stronger human than him, he mellows out a bit. |
| 665 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He's been on both ends of this. He underestimated Saitama and tried to newbie-crush him because he was only C rank, despite being told that he had just broken every record in the physical exam. And in the manga-exclusive tournament arc, his opponent assumed he was weak since he was the lowest ranking hero. Snek is [[CurbStompBattle quick to correct]] that he is only the lowest ranking hero ''in A-Class''. |

| 675 | %% [[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]] |
| 676 | A diligent young martial artist, and Suiryu’s younger sister. Suiko wants to prove herself to be superior to her big brother and his playboy ways, attempting to combat the slacker image being associated with her family’s legacy. |
| 677 | ---- |
| 678 | * ActionGirl: A given, as a martial artist and later crime-fighting hero. Her primary goal in the Hero Association is to increase her strength until she reaches the S-Class so she can bring the prestige to her family name. |
| 679 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: As is traditional for the series due to the artistic gap between ONE and Murata, her good looks are given more emphasis in the manga. To be fair to ONE though, unlike Tatsumaki and Fubuki, she was already rather cute in the webcomic due to his own ArtEvolution and this time the upgrade was mostly restricted to [[HotterAndSexier her body]]. |
| 680 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the webcomic, she first appears during the Neo Heroes Uprising arc, where she volunteers to join the Hero Association in place of her deceased grandfather, while in the manga, she first appears during the Monster Association arc, visiting Suiryu in hospital. |
| 681 | * BoyishShortHair: She keeps her hair trimmed into a short pixie-cut, contrasting nicely with her brother's LongHairedPrettyBoy look. |
| 682 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Like Suiryu, she definitely has some degree of SuperStrength, SuperReflexes, and durability that she obtained just from training, as she demonstrates during her fight with a KillerRobot. However, she's not quite on the same level as her brother and gets placed only in A-Class when she joins the Hero Association, much to her chagrin. |
| 683 | * DrunkenMaster: While she practices the same Void Fist martial arts as her brother, she can also loosen her movements up and enhance her power with alcohol and unleash the Drunk Tiger style. This makes her unpredictable enough to fake out a KillerRobot that had already analyzed her previous moves and successfully land herself a few hits. Funnily enough, as detailed under MythologyGag, this aspect of her was actually ripped from an early concept of Suiryu. |
| 684 | * FishOutOfWater: It is implied that she spent so much time training that she is out of touch with the outside world which is why she joined the Hero Association which has fallen on hard times instead of the Neo Heroes who are currently overtaking them. |
| 685 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: As you can easily imagine, she's the Responsible to Suiryu's Foolish. While Suiryu barely trains and spends most of his time living like a playboy, Suiko trains hard to bring honor to their departed grandfather and master and she consistently berates her brother for his lax attitude towards life. More pronounced in the webcomic, where Suiryu's later introduction into the plot has caused him to miss out on the character development his manga counterpart experienced. |
| 686 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: While her brother, Suiryu, is a carefree playboy and strong enough to be in the lower ranks of S-Class, Suiko is a diligent martial artist who is strong enough to be in A-Class, but not S-Class material... yet at least. Although this is downplayed since she is still rather young. |
| 687 | * HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: When she finds Saitama to thank him for saving her life and asks him to train together, Suiryu assumes that they're interested in each other and gives his approval as a ShipperOnDeck due to Saitama's strength. Suiko is not amused. |
| 688 | * MythologyGag: In the drafting phase for Suiryu ONE stated he initially planned for the character to be a drunken master martial artist but the concept was dropped; Suiko is then created and ONE places the drunken master schtick on her instead. |
| 689 | * NiceGirl: While she has a bit of a mischievous streak when interacting with her brother, she's generally an easy-going and kind girl and, unlike most others, was quick to see Saitama's worth and thank him for saving her in a fight earlier. |
| 690 | * OnlySaneWoman: She generally is more down to earth than Suiryu and has both loftier ambitions and a stronger sense of duty. |
| 691 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks a lot like her older brother who was already a bishonen. |

| 709 | They are the third-highest rank in the Hero Association. There are 101 heroes in this class. Notably, Heroes in this rank and higher are secured in their spots as heroes and do not have to fill weekly incident quotas like C-classes to remain employed. |
| 710 | ---- |
| 711 | * HufflepuffHouse: Probably the most overlooked class even compared to C-class heroes, seeing as how they’re definitely too strong for the day-to-day, cat-in-a-tree heroics of the C-class but far too weak to take on Demon level or higher monsters by themselves like the S-Class or even in a group like the A-class. As such, they’re mostly used as somewhat expendable foot soldiers against lower level monsters during big operations. This is likely a big reason why a lot of them decide to rank and file under Fubuki, who gives them more of a purpose. |
| 712 | * TheMafia: A good number of heroes in B-Class work for Fubuki in her little gang. Their reasons for joining and loyalty to her seem to vary wildly. |

| 719 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/opm_fubuki_anime_7.png]] |
| 720 | |
| 721 | Fubuki is the number one B-Class of the Hero Association and Tornado's younger sister. Also an esper, Fubuki is overshadowed by her older sister and has confidence problems because of it. She has built a mob of yakuza-like underlings called the Blizzard Group to make herself feel better, but an encounter with Saitama shatters her illusions. |
| 722 | ---- |
| 723 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Far more attractive in the more detailed reboot. In the original, she was androgynous at best; in the redraw she has a much more feminine face and curvy figure. |
| 724 | * AlmightyJanitor: Fubuki remains in B-Class despite being worthy of the higher ranks of A-Class. It's explained that she has low self-confidence and fears not being the number 1. |
| 725 | * ArmorPiercingResponse: It's hard to tell from the artwork of the webcomic, but Fubuki appears devastated when Saitama refers to her as [[spoiler:just an acquaintance]] (the manga makes it clearer). |
| 726 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: |
| 727 | ** She uses her high rank in the B-Class to amass a mob-like organization of lower ranking B-Class heroes and rule over them like a yakuza boss. |
| 728 | ** A Volume 9 omake has the Blizzard Group pooling money to get a car, mostly through part-time jobs (having misinterpreted Fubuki's idea). Fubuki, however, was out bounty hunting (which was what she actually meant by checking out flyers) and earned over a third of the required funds by herself. She EARNED her rank. |
| 729 | * TheAtoner: She is this after revealing her DarkAndTroubledPast, wanting to change herself and be a better person. |
| 730 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: She may think Tatsumaki is a crazy psychopath out to ruin her life, but she still does love her. When Fubuki at one point goes all out against her sister she panics at whether she might have actually gone too far and hurt her. The manga adaptation by Murata doubles down on this trope during the Monster Association arc; in the original webcomic Fubuki didn't really show any concern about her sister until she couldn't feel her psychic powers, whereas in the manga Fubuki spends a good chunk of the arc trying to help her sister and to stop her from going overboard. |
| 731 | * BigLittleSister: To Tornado. Child Emperor mistakes her for the older sister, and so does Do-S. |
| 732 | * BornUnlucky: Feels that she is doomed to always pale in comparison to her sister. The fact that in her childhood she was always being bullied by the kids, and that no one wanted to play with her because her older sister was known to be dangerous by other kids, didn't help her state of mind. However, [[spoiler:it is revealed before her psychic powers manifested properly that her older sister received WAY worse than her]]. |
| 733 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: [[spoiler:Tells her subordinates that she's disbanding the Blizzard Group and coldly tells them that they're weak. It's obvious she's doing it to protect them from Tornado]]. |
| 734 | * BreakoutCharacter: Became very popular shortly after her debut to the point where she's had original chapters focusing on her or the Blizzard Group, had a brief cameo in the first season of the anime, and got a special OVA focusing on her. |
| 735 | * CharacterDevelopment: She starts off as a haughty, conceited jerk who is clearly taking out her frustrations over her sister on other people by either forcing them to be her goons or threatening them. After befriending Saitama she genuinely wants to change herself, starting with finally standing up to her sister. |
| 736 | * ClothingDamage: In the fight with Do-S the back of her dress is ripped when the monster attacks her from behind. |
| 737 | * CombatMedic: She eventually figures out how to use her psychokinesis to buff and heal her teammates. She apparently didn't expect this to make enough of a difference to be worth doing until it unexpectedly allowed [[spoiler:Silver Fang and Bomb to easily defeat Overgrown Rover]]. |
| 738 | * CombatStilettos: Though since she can do PowerFloats with ease she can get away with it. It turns out one of her hobbies is [[AllWomenLoveShoes collecting high heels]]. |
| 739 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Has had a few special chapters focusing on her or the Blizzard Group, as well as the fifth OVA. |
| 740 | * DecliningPromotion: |
| 741 | ** Despite her psychic powers making her more than qualified to be in the upper A-Class ranks, she stays in B-Class to control the B-Class heroes so she can try and surpass Tornado, and it's impossible for her to reach A-Class Rank 1 with Atomic Samurai's three disciples taking Ranks 2-4 and Amai Mask taking Rank 1. |
| 742 | ** After [[spoiler:fighting with her sister and then the Blizzard Group declaring they would get stronger to be worthy of being her underlings, Fubuki decides to start moving up the A-Class ladder]]. |
| 743 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Part of her arc, going from distant and bossy to a more compassionate, caring person. |
| 744 | * TheDon: Sort of -- Class B has become an almost Mafia-like system due to all the strong Class Bs being loyal to her, and basically forcing the other heroes into working in B-Class for the rest of their career since she kept the number 1 spot. |
| 745 | * DubNameChange: In the original translations her name is "Fubuki" and her hero title is "Blizzard of Hell"; the Viz translation changes her name to "Blizzard" and her title to "Hellish Blizzard". |
| 746 | ** Her personal squad were originally "The Blizzard Group", which got changed to "The Blizzard Bunch". |
| 747 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Shows up in the anime at the end of episode 6 receiving word of Kombu Infinity in Z City. |
| 748 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:In the past, when Vice-President Psykos wanted President Fubuki's club to KillAllHumans instead of just TakeOverTheWorld, the rest of the club was opposed because that was too evil even for them. Subverted for past-Fubuki herself though, as she only opposed Psykos just because there'd be no normal humans left for her to look down on if they did that.]] |
| 749 | * EvilVersusOblivion: [[spoiler:She was this in the past. When Psykos wanted to change their club's goal from TakeOverTheWorld to KillAllHumans, Fubuki was opposed because then there'd be no one left for Fubuki to look down on. The disagreement quickly became violent.]] |
| 750 | * FamilyEyeResemblance: She has the same green eyes as her sister Tatsumaki, showing that [[StrongFamilyResemblance they are related]], although Fubuki's eyes are a bit darker. |
| 751 | * FamilyThemeNaming: Fubuki and Tatsumaki are named after windstorms. |
| 752 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Despite being the younger one and hindered by her insecurities, Fubuki is actually the responsible one compared to Tatsumaki's foolish one. If anything, her insecurities actually pushed her to form the Blizzard Group, and she acts like AMotherToHerMen. Her more mature behavior overall makes a stark contrast to her elder sister, who acts like a little brat most of the time. One flashback in the manga even shows Fubuki tended to Tatsumaki's messy table manner during a dinner. |
| 753 | * FormFittingWardrobe: Fubuki's robe clings so much to her body that her hips, butt, and navel become very pronounced. |
| 754 | * FrenchJerk: Not to the same extent as her older sister, but Fubuki has her moments of abrasiveness. According to [[WordOfGod ONE]], she and Tatsumaki would be French in real life. |
| 755 | * FriendlessBackground: As a child she couldn't make any friends, her sister having scared away everyone in the neighborhood. |
| 756 | * TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: With her power, she was meant for great things and would've been the number 1 of many things in life. Sadly, her sister came first, and being a super-powerful Esper in her own right, she completely eclipsed her in everything. This causes a little friction in that Fubuki firmly believes the power has gone to her sister's head and made her the aloof, alone jerk she is today. |
| 757 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She's a genuine albeit flawed hero in the present day. In the past, as a student, she was president of a club of super powered people whose goal was to take over the world. Exactly why it was disbanded isn't mentioned. Maybe it simply ended after the violent schism between Fubuki and the vice-president, Psykos.]] |
| 758 | * HeroicWillpower: She is the first person that is able to resist Do-S's mind control. |
| 759 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: She's actually much stronger than B-Class and gets to show this off during the Raid on the Monster Association and subsequent arcs. She remains in B because of.... |
| 760 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Feels very insecure about her abilities, so she stays a B-Class while surrounding herself with weaker subordinates, despite having abilities that could easily put her in the top ten of A-Class ([[spoiler:and, if her performance in the Monster Association raid is anything to go by [[note]]being able to fight alongside Bang and Bomb during their fight against Overgrown Rover, with her even being able to block its attacks, and defeating a Dragon-level threat like Psykos all on her own[[/note]], she could even make it into the S-Class]]). Hilariously, even after accepting that Saitama was far stronger than her, she still refers to him, and by association Genos, as her underlings. |
| 761 | * KirkSummation: Gets one from Saitama, although it's just him telling her that no matter how many B-Class heroes she has below her, they won't be able to save her from an overpowering monster. Sure enough, while she can hold her own against Demon-level Monsters by herself, when dealing with an outbreak of mysterious beings affiliated with the Monster Association she finds herself at her wits' end against Do-S when her subordinates and other HA affiliates threaten to overwhelm her. Saitama's cryptic words even [[IWarnedYou come ringing back]] into her mind during the whole shebang, although [[BigShutUp she angrily rebuffs]] the mental recall. [[spoiler:It happens again when Garou appears and thoroughly trounces the S-Class heroes in quick succession. All she can do is [[TroubledFetalPosition hide, knowing she isn't strong enough to even be worth Garou's attention, but not ever being certain]].]] |
| 762 | * LadyOfWar: The elegant and professional leader of B-Class who is more than qualified for A-Class, she has a graceful style of fighting using [[MindOverMatter psychokinesis]]. |
| 763 | * LegFocus: She's got legs. It seems to run in the family. |
| 764 | * LittleSisterInstinct: When Do-S says that she wants to use Fubuki to lure Tatsumaki and harm her, she becomes enraged and beats Do-S up. |
| 765 | * MeaningfulName: In one of the flashbacks, someone calls her "president Blizzard" (Fubuki means "Blizzard"), implying that just like her sister's, her Hero name is also derived from her actual real name. |
| 766 | * MindOverMatter: Although nowhere near as powerful as her sister Tatsumaki, Fubuki is a skilled esper. She has been shown to mainly use her psychokinesis when fighting an opponent, throwing rocks, pebbles and various other items at her target, or manipulating their surroundings to her advantage to impede or crush them. Through her constant research and quest for versatility and innovation, Fubuki has learned notions that not even her sister knows about, such as that resistance to psychokinesis is directly linked to one's willpower. |
| 767 | * MistakenForRomance: While a lot of it is [[KnightTemplarBigSister Tatsumaki being way overprotective]], the manga implies she's reading a LOT more into Fubuki and Saitama's relationship than either of them do, accusing the latter of "hanging all over" Fubuki. Though for her part, Fubuki seems heartbroken that Saitama barely even considers her an acquaintance. |
| 768 | * AMotherToHerMen: While her methods to recruiting them are a bit questionable, it's clear that most of her subordinates follow her because they WANT to. She even says she didn't mind bringing in dangerous bounties as it was for the Blizzard Group and genuinely cares about them. |
| 769 | * MsFanservice: Amusingly classifies as this despite Fubuki wearing a full body dress and fur coat. It's just that her dress is ''extremely'' {{form fitting|wardrobe}}, making her curves visible. She's gorgeous and there's frequently a lot of [[MaleGaze focus put on her body]]. An illustration in Volume 9 shows her in her underwear, and multiple chapters' covers have her posing in a bikini. The cover of Chapter 178 takes it further with Fubuki [[https://i.imgur.com/6dQfWIi.png in the nude]]. |
| 770 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Make no mistake, Fubuki is one of the most powerful people on the planet (and one of only a handful of people with psychic abilities), but she's unfortunately outclassed by her far more talented sister. [[spoiler:And obviously by Saitama.]] |
| 771 | * PickyEater: Counts calories when ordering at a restaurant. |
| 772 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: Once she has Do-S at her mercy and surmises that the monster isn't immune to her own whip, Blizzard starts beating the stuffing out of her with it, punctuating each blow with AndThisIsFor (the members of the Blizzard Group Do-S tormented); Bang and Bomb are perturbed enough to start joking that they can't tell the difference between the two. Since Do-S is a CombatSadomasochist, it's hard to tell [[TooKinkyToTorture how effective this punishment was]]. |
| 773 | * PrettyInMink: Often wears a fur jacket she uses as a CoatCape. |
| 774 | * PsychicLink: She can sense her sister's presence, and could tell when she was incapacitated by the Monster Association. |
| 775 | * RankUp: [[spoiler:After the much needed personal developments Fubuki went through in the Psychic Sisters arc, a while later on during the Neo Heroes arc it is shown Fubuki has risen to A Class, moving away from her obsession with remaining the 1st rank B Class hero to maintain the pretense of being the first at something, because she truly feared she couldn't be the first in any other class as a result of her inferiority superiority complex over Tatsumaki]]. |
| 776 | * ShrinkingViolet: When she was little, no doubt due to her abilities. And her sister. |
| 777 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: One of the very few women in the Hero Association. |
| 778 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: If you look closely, Fubuki looks quite similar to Tatsumaki, from the green eyes to the face structure. It's implied that Tornado would have had a similar face to her sister, had she grown up normally. |
| 779 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Fittingly, she's typically cold and professional like how a mafia don would act. However, she also has a soft side, like when she smiles for Lily when it's clear she was worried about what Fubuki was doing to earn money for the group. |
| 780 | * TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: [[spoiler:After Tatsumaki escaped the lab she'd been imprisoned in and came back for Fubuki, she [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior casually obliterated]] the agents who'd followed her in front of her sister, causing a terrified Fubuki to manifest her powers to ward her off.]] |
| 781 | * {{Tsundere}}: Aside from her SugarAndIcePersonality, Fubuki can get easily irritated by Saitama, who often berates her for having an ego. Still, in her private moments she does acknowledge just how powerful Saitama is and is seen to hang out with him and his friends. |
| 782 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Fubuki keeps underestimating Saitama, treating him as if he should serve her, even after witnessing just how strong he is. Not that it works in her favor. Still, Saitama and Fubuki do have a relatively friendly relationship. |
| 783 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Despite Fubuki insisting Saitama is her underling and Saitama being annoyed with Fubuki bugging him to join the Blizzard Group, it's clear the two of them have developed a sense of camaraderie. |
| 784 | * WeakButSkilled: |
| 785 | ** Her Esper Powers count as this, as [[spoiler:she manages to defeat Psykos by diverting a psychic attack she otherwise couldn't handle by using a spinning barrier of carefully controlled psychic waves.]] However, her sister, Tornado, [[spoiler: figured out how to perform the same trick a long time ago, and to a much greater extent.]] |
| 786 | ** Her physical power-rating, as shown by Child Emperor's device, was a mere 19, way below C-Class and even below an average Hero Association staff member. However, her psychic abilities can't be measured and those are the real reason she's so powerful. |
| 787 | * WillfullyWeak: Or willfully in a lower rank. Fubuki has power equivalent to a high A-Class, but doesn't believe she could be at the top. [[spoiler:Tornado surmises she has the potential to be S-Class alongside her, but believes there's something mentally holding back her potential. Tornado incorrectly surmises it's her friends and associates, it's actually fear and feelings of inferiority to her older sister]]. |
| 788 | * WolverinePublicity: A {{Downplayed|Trope}} example, but in the manga, she appears in art panels in issues she doesn't even appear in. Perhaps a [[AuthorAppeal bit of indulgence]] by [[Creator/YusukeMurata Murata]]. |
| 789 | * {{Yakuza}}: A heroic example. Because Fubuki remains in the number 1 spot in this class and prevents any other heroes from advancing to A-Class, she controls the B-Classes in this type of manner. |
| 790 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Played with. She is 23 and looks her age, but is actually the ''younger'' sister of Tatsumaki, who is 28 despite looking like a child. |

| 1088 | They are the lowest and weakest class in the Hero Association. Because of the large amount of heroes in C-Class, if any hero is inactive for one week, then they are removed from the Hero Registry. In order for them to maintain their quota, they usually deal with minor crimes such as purse snatchers, robbers, and street assailants. There are a total of 390 heroes in this class. |

| 1090 | * BecomingTheMask: A lot of C-Class heroes, especially in the lower rankings, are encountered in crowds wearing CivvieSpandex or straight-up normal clothes. Some are even shown to have other jobs.

| 1093 | * FailureHero: Rarely do we see the C-Class actually defeat any monsters. It is noted that the Association is bombarded with complaints to help them get stronger, to little effect. |
| 1094 | * GlorySeeker: Most of them are more concerned about ranking up and getting attention. |
| 1095 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: If the threat is too dangerous for them, some of them know when not to get involved. |
| 1096 | * NonPoweredCostumedHero: Many of them seem to have no superhuman powers at all, Mumen Rider being the most obvious example (although his powers may have been overshadowed by the strong enemies he's faced onscreen). |
| 1097 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Most or some of them will team up to deal with a threat. Eyelashes describes them as the "alliance of C-Classes who often act in groups". |
| 1098 | * SuperZeroes: The majority of C-class heroes fall under this category, many of them being nothing but fodder for the monsters and other villains, as they have no real powers or effective weapons, just weird costumes based on various gimmicks. |

| 1106 | -->''(while bleeding heavily) It's not about winning or losing! [[{{Determinator}} It's about taking you on, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!]]'' |
| 1107 | |
| 1108 | The top-ranked C-Class hero, Mumen Rider (real name Satoru) is a cyclist who earned his rank by doing just about any good deed he sees. Unlike most other heroes, he has no superpowers nor any real fighting ability, but more than makes up for that with courage and willingness to face off against any threat no matter how great or small. |
| 1109 | ----- |
| 1110 | * HundredPercentHeroismRating: He's one of the most popular heroes, and whenever he shows up, everyone tends to murmur things to the effect of "Mumen Rider is here! We're saved!" Being curb-stomped almost every time doesn't seem to effect the public's perception of him. |
| 1111 | * AceCustom: Unlike the [[spoiler:battle suits other Neo Heroes, who at most are capable of fighting against Tiger-level threats, his battle suits is custom-made and powerful enough to one shot Demon-level threats]]. |
| 1112 | * ActionSurvivor: By the standards of the series, he's just a completely average guy with a bike -- one that isn't even especially tricked-out. It's just a good, solid multi-terrain, mid-range bike. He has no special powers nor is he a particularly amazing fighter, but what he lacks in strength he makes up in resolve (as long as he can reach them). |
| 1113 | * AlmightyJanitor: PlayedWith. Apparently he's done a lot of heroic things, allowing him to move up to B-Class, but he refuses to do so. It doesn't translate to him being more powerful though, it just means he's earned a place in B-Class, but would rather continue helping in C-Class. |
| 1114 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Subverted for the most part, but as far as C-Class strength heroes go he's this, and that's mostly because he stops EVERY crime he sees while on patrol. All of them. Yet he's failed to save any person in the series (mostly what happens is the antagonistic thing of the week simply concentrates on beating up Mumen Rider while the original victim escapes). Nonetheless, his heroic resolve is quite amazing. |
| 1115 | * BadassNormal: Mumen is just a simple man on his bike, but that doesn't mean he can't put up a fight, even if it's [[{{Determinator}} mostly his determination that's keeping him going]]. |
| 1116 | * BoringButPractical: He may not be a great fighter, he may not have any special powers, and he may just ride a normal multi-terrain bike, but he saves several people in City A during the Dark Matter Thieves attack simply because he's a very good cyclist and his bike allows him to search the ruined city for stranded survivors faster than someone could on foot and since his bike could navigate the ruins better than a motor vehicle. |
| 1117 | * ByTheBookCop: |
| 1118 | ** When attempting to hurry to the scene of the battle to fight the Sea King, he curses his luck at having to stop at a red light. He does this on an abandoned street where no one would watch if he ran the light, there was no traffic to worry about, ''and'' he's an official hero responding to an emergency situation, so he would have good reason to ignore the red light for the sake of his duties. Though, this behavior is somewhat justified because he broke traffic laws before and lost his motorcycle license. |
| 1119 | ** Also, he's devoted enough to heroism that [[spoiler:he stops Tanktop Master, an S-Rank hero, from beating the life out of Garou (by jumping into his attack, no less!) because it would be murder if he kills a street punk like that when Garou looks to have lost. Of course, Garou returns the favor by smashing his head into the concrete, but hey, you gotta give Mumen Rider props for his unwavering determination to do things legally.]] |
| 1120 | * TheCape: He may very well be the single most nobly heroic character in the entire series. He is brave, kind, encouraging, and when the chips are down, he will never fail to stand between the MonsterOfTheWeek and any potential victims nearby, regardless of his chances to actually win such an encounter. Only his status as the small fish in the pond keeps him from achieving a rank near the top of the Hero Association's hierarchy, though fittingly, he hardly seems to resent this. In fact, he may even prefer it as this allows him to engage with civilians much more openly than, say, King or Amai Mask could do. His idealism and courage are so great that even Saitama recognizes and praises him for his efforts. |
| 1121 | * CarFu: A variation; his "Justice Crash" is just him running his bike into someone. It might work for a normal mugger and regular humans, but not much other than that. |
| 1122 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: He will always try his hardest to fight the monster of the week, no matter how powerful they are or how hopeless the situation may be. He never gives up the fight, which earns him Saitama's respect. [[spoiler:This is also deconstructed a bit later, as Accel notes that his tendencies will eventually get him killed due to the increase of monster activity. Because of this, Mumen Rider accepts a battle suit from the Neo Heroes so that he can survive against stronger enemies.]] |
| 1123 | * DecliningPromotion: He declines the promotion to B-Class because he says he's not fit to be in that class. |
| 1124 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: He's a deconstruction of ChronicHeroSyndrome. He's perfectly willing to throw his life away for the sake of justice if it means saving lives, even if he knows that he can't win against whoever he fights against. However, [[spoiler:it's noted by Accel that because of his selfless tendencies and lack of strength, he'll eventually get himself killed by a monster sooner or later. Realizing this, Mumen Rider eventually accepts a suit from the Neo Heroes to ensure his survival over stronger monsters.]] |
| 1125 | * {{Determinator}}: He is incredibly determined and never backs down from fighting any sort of threat even when it's clear he has absolutely no chance of success. He is perfectly willing to give his own life if it means protecting innocent people from evil. |
| 1126 | * DeterminedDefeatist: He knows that he can't possibly win against his opponents, but he will attempt doing so regardless since it's the right thing to do. This is best shown by his speech to the Sea King. |
| 1127 | -->'''Mumen Rider''': No one expects much… not from me. They think a Class C hero won't be much help. I know that better than anyone! I'm too weak for… Class B. I'm not good enough. I know that much. I'm aware I have no chance of beating you. No one needs to tell me… ''anything like that!'' And yet… I must try. It's not about winning or losing! It's about me, taking you on, ''right here and '''right now'''!'' |
| 1128 | * DoomedMoralVictor: He and everyone know that he can't win against the deep sea monster kings or intergalactic conquerors that he goes up against, but it's his determination and fearlessness against such impossible odds that earn him the respect and admiration of the populace (and Saitama). [[spoiler:This is turned on its head once he gets a suit from the Neo Heroes, as he's finally able to defeat monsters on his own.]] |
| 1129 | * DubNameChange: He's sometimes called "Licenseless Rider" in English, a more literal translation of his name that unfortunately loses the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' reference. |
| 1130 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He used to ride a motorcycle, but he lost his license for going over the speed limit while helping people, hence his hero name. |
| 1131 | * {{Expy}}: He's one of the famous Japanese hero ''Franchise/KamenRider'', if that wasn't obvious. |
| 1132 | * FailureHero: Every time that Mumen Rider attempts to fight an antagonist in the series, said antagonist beats him into a pulp without much effort. He's aware of this fact, yet he doesn't care and will willingly fight opponents who he knows he can't beat if it means possibly saving lives. [[spoiler:Averted during the Neo Heroes Saga, as thanks to the custom battle suit that the Neo Heroes give him, he's easily able to destroy a Demon-level monster.]] |
| 1133 | * FanOfTheUnderdog: [[spoiler: He's the only person to thank Saitama for defeating the Sea King (granted, he's also one of the few who knows Saitama's only [[HiddenHeartOfGold pretending to be a fraud]])]]. |
| 1134 | * {{Foil}}: To Saitama. Saitama has the strength of a demi-god ([[StoryBreakerPower or maybe even a full god]]); Mumen Rider is just an ordinary guy who rides a bike. Saitama receives almost zero respect from the Association and the world at large; Mumen Rider is loved and seen as an inspiration. Saitama is a "[[ItAmusedMe hero for fun]]", while Mumen Rider is an IdealHero who fights ForGreatJustice. Saitama is ''bored'' and often isolated as a result of his abilities; Mumen has drive to spare and regularly engages with all different kinds of people partly thanks to his abilities. Both look up to the other, but Mumen would likely turn Saitama's power level down in an instant, if offered it. The opposite may not be the case. |
| 1135 | * ForGreatJustice: His sub-title is "The Cyclist for Justice", most of his attacks incorporate justice in the names, and he even [[ICallItVera named his bike "Justice"]]. |
| 1136 | * HeroicResolve: He goes up against the Sea King, knowing full well he's not strong enough to stop it, and delays him long enough for Saitama to show up and do his thing. Hell, Saitama even compliments him on it and tells him that in his eyes, he'll always be a true hero, no matter what rank he is. |
| 1137 | * HoldTheLine: His entire job and a main part of his philosophy. He knows that he is weak (especially since he lost his main weapon, a motorcycle, when he lost his license for recklessly chasing down monsters). However, he holds fast to the idea that heroes have to stand up and fight, no matter the odds, because that's what being a hero ''means''. [[spoiler:He ends up holding the line just long enough for Saitama to arrive on the scene before there were civilian casualties.]] |
| 1138 | * HonorBeforeReason: When riding towards the Deep Sea King in an attempt to hold off the monster's rampage, he takes the time to stop at a red light because he can't bring himself to break the law. This is in spite of the fact that since the city is evacuated, there's no other traffic and nobody else is around to witness if Mumen Rider ran that light. |
| 1139 | * IronicNickname: "Mumen" directly translates to "License-less". It's ironic because he ''is'' a licensed and reputed hero. It's also ironic because despite his law-abiding tendencies, he lost his motorcycle license, which made him ride a bicycle in the story. |
| 1140 | * JokeCharacter: Much like Saitama, his fights are hilariously one-sided, but with him on the short end. He's so pathetic combat-wise that Sea King doesn't even bother putting in any effort to fighting him, simply flailing him about, which is enough to hurt him. [[spoiler:This is finally averted after he gets a custom-made suit from the Neo Heroes, where he takes out a Demon-level monster in one punch.]] |
| 1141 | * LovedByAll: From what we've seen, both heroes and citizens champion and respect Mumen Rider. |
| 1142 | * MadeOfIron: For someone with no obvious powers, Mumen Rider is able to take a lot of punishment from the VillainOfTheWeek and still manage to survive. |
| 1143 | * MeaningfulName: "Mumen" means "licenseless". He rides a bike rather than a car or motorcycle because he doesn't have a driver's license. It's also meaningful because his license is entry-level (C-Class) and he never takes a promotion because he knows he's not skilled enough. |
| 1144 | * NiceGuy: He really is the genuine article of a hero, taking no offense when people move above him and being a helping hand to those who need it under him. |
| 1145 | * OddFriendship: In season 2 he develops one with S-Class Hero Tank Top Master. He moves the larger hero with his sense of justice to spare Garou once Tank Top Master seemingly has the villain at his mercy. While this ultimately backfires against them, his points are still sound. Later on when they are being discharged from the hospital and a monster attacks the place, while Satoru is no match for the monster, the S-Class hero defeats it with a single tackle. Tank Top Master gives the C-Rank Hero props for being brave, and in turn Mumen Rider compliments the larger hero (the only one to do so, so far) for his efforts. |
| 1146 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: It is revealed in an omake that he and Saitama were classmates in elementary school, although neither is aware of this fact. |
| 1147 | * OpaqueNerdGlasses: Whenever he's not wearing his helmet, he's shown to be wearing opaque glasses. |
| 1148 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Make no mistake, he's a lot stronger and much more durable than most humans. Even C-level Heroes are way above the average strength and toughness level of civilians according to Child Emperor. The problem is that most of the threats he faces are higher than Tiger level because he refuses to back down even if his opponents can annihilate skyscrapers with a single punch. |
| 1149 | * RunningGag: Throughout the manga he appears at the scene, only to get quickly taken out off panel. [[spoiler: This gets subverted in the Sea King arc, where his FailureHero tendencies are PlayedForDrama. It's also inverted after he gets a suit from the Neo Heroes, where he finally breaks his running streak of bad luck and effortlessly destroys a Demon-level monster in one punch.]] |
| 1150 | * SignatureMove: Justice Crash. He simply rides his ride into his opponent and jumps off it at the last second, landing in a fighting stance. Supposedly it worked better when he still drove a motorcycle. |
| 1151 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Subverted. While he goes from being beaten by most enemies he comes across in the series to destroying a Demon-level monster in one punch, however in the end all that strength comes from the custom-made suit he got from Neo Heroes.]] |
| 1152 | * TooLongDidntDub: The Viz translation kept his name as "Mumen Rider", even though "License-less Rider" would have been a perfectly acceptable translation. The fact that he's a ''Franchise/KamenRider'' reference might have had something to do with it. That and the fact that he has [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS the letter M on his chest]]. Averted in the Latin American Spanish dub, when he was renamed literally as ''Ciclista Sin Licencia''. |
| 1153 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Neo Heroes giving a custom battle suit was more done to convince other Pro Heroes to step over rather than truly giving the power to protect civilians, especially since his fight against a Demon-Level threat is essentially a replica of the fight against Deep Sea King[[note]]A Demon-Level threat appears and has defeated several heroes, who lay helplessly unconscious, with Mumen Rider being the last one standing and gets beaten up by the monster yet he won't stand down[[/note]] except this time he does get a HeroicSecondWind and kills the monster with his punch. Highly implying if not confirming that this is just another case of Neo Heroes' EngineeredHeroics.]] |

| 1247 | * TheLoad: He is shown to be completely useless in a fight, and his psychic powers are unreliable to the point of nonexistence. His inclusion in the rescue mission may only be to indicate how incompetent the higher ups are for picking him. Later subverted, as his psychic power is later used to find all the exits of the Monster Association, making for a useful support role.

While most hero's backstories go unexplained, [[spoiler:his hidden origins are as mysterious as Jet Nice Guy but even more so. Similarly to how the Organization creates cyborgs and the ninja village creates assassins, Tsukuyomi creates artificial espers. When Tsukuyomi, awkward and nervous Gearsper suddenly becomes very calm, cool, and collected while stating that they are a myth. By the way, Tsukuyomi is responsible for capturing Tatsumaki as a kid and a member of Tsukuyomi, another artificial esper, was embedded in the Fubuki Group.]] |

| 1324 | * BadassNormal: She is a member of the Hero Association, even if she is at the bottom. We know how heroes are evaluated. Even if she got perfect essay scores (an impressive achievement itself), she still would have needed at least an average physical score.

Founded three years ago and is currently funded by donations from citizens, which they use to pay heroes depending on their rank and performance. |
| 1335 | ---- |
| 1336 | * IncompetenceInc: Very corrupt and very detached from reality. They focus on naming new heroes instead of the "world is about to be destroyed" prophecy, some of their members sell monsters they caught as ''pets'', they try to gain as much power as possible, one of their members tried to trick a monster from the Monster Association in negotiations getting himself killed in the process, they use higher tech like smart phones that's less secure than the stuff they give to the heroes (including the S-ranked ones), and they are even planning a propaganda film using their highest ranked heroes before the Monster Association has been fully destroyed (again ignoring that whole "destroying the world" prophecy). A lot of their members are even pinched by the Neo Heroes' scouting teams [[spoiler:who turn out to be even more corrupt]]. This is not to mention that individual members focus on looks over protecting people, intimidate and bully the cops, use their reputation as executives to pick up women, and try to retaliate against people offering compliments about their behavior. One of the good executives is even preventing the Hero Association from pushing shady "enhancements" onto the heroes [[spoiler:like the Neo Heroes will go on to do]]. This is only the tip of the iceberg and this goes along with all the bureaucracy and inefficiency that comes with being a giant organization. |
| 1337 | ** On the other hand, they are still mostly smart individuals (despite their various neurosis and issues) and even some of their partially corrupt/delusional members make good decisions occasionally (which is why they aren't completely falling apart). One such decision they make is to not rush Suiko into S-class. While it would be good propaganda and they need a new spokesman, they aren't eager to put their newest up and comer in a position she isn't suited for yet. |

In chapter 145 of the webcomic, he is the ''only'' Neo Heroes executive nervous at the sheer scale of destruction caused by the robot army totaling multiple ''millions'' of units, which causes him to suggest they should lend some of their equipment to Pro Heroes of the Hero Association to combat the massive robot army threatening the world or at least send out Metal Bat to help.

| 1412 | * BoisterousWeakling: He says he's a front-line fighter putting his life on the line for his job, [[BlatantLies an obvious falsehood as Garou quickly proves]]. |
| 1413 | * HateSink: He's depicted as a wasteful, lying and lecherous officer of the Hero Association who lies about fighting on the front lines and using the company's funds to get the attention of pretty women. As such, his beating at the hands of Garou and Garou considering the politician shit compared to the heroes makes the Hero Hunter a little more respectable. |
| 1414 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He brags to a pair of pretty women about how he's a front-line fighter. The Hero Hunter happens to overhear this and pummels him. |
| 1415 | * SleazyPolitician: To a lesser degree but apparent all the same, as he tries using his position as a Hero Association officer and funds from the Hero Association to get a kiss from two of Amai Mask's fans. |

| 1421 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sekingal_anime.png]] |
| 1422 | %%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]] |
| 1423 | An executive of the Association, Sekingar is the commander of the rescue mission for Waganma. A failed hero himself, he hopes to make enough of a name for himself so that he can get a promotion. |
| 1424 | ------ |
| 1425 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He loses a left hand to G5, that have managed to survive, later to be finally killed by Genos.]] |
| 1426 | * BadassNormal: He's a failed hero, but he's still strong enough to carry multiple people at once, with reflexes quick enough to react while moving at high speed. |
| 1427 | * EyeBeams: His cybernetic eye can shoot lasers, though it's very weak. |
| 1428 | * HiddenDepths: At first, he claims to be involved in the Monster Association mission to make a name for himself in hopes for a promotion, suggesting that he's just an opportunistic GloryHound like most of the Association's executives. However, the reveal that he was once a hero himself quickly proves that he's different from the other executives we've seen. As the mission drags on, he demonstrates noble qualities not unlike an IdealHero, and the fact that that he's someone who had failed to become a hero is likely the reason he is able to encourage the other lower-ranked heroes in a way that no one else could. |
| 1429 | * GloryHound: Subverted as mentioned above. |
| 1430 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He barely gets phased by the loss of a hand. |
| 1431 | * MeaningfulName: His name seems to be a pun of "Sekininkan" which translates to "a sense of responsiblity", and he's very much one so, especially in comparison to other executives. |
| 1432 | * MissionControl: He's in charge of the strategy and operations for Waganma's rescue mission, and manages the support team. |
| 1433 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:He resigns from the Hero Association in order to help Isamu act as inside agents within the Neo Heroes, as they suspect something nefarious, but cannot trust the Hero Association executives either, as they believe them to have a Neo Heroes mole as well.]] |
| 1434 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He does his best to manage the heroes' team and ensure their skills are utilized to the fullest, even encouraging the weaker members of the team that they can still be of use despite lacking the amazing powers and abilities of the S-class heroes. Metal Bat, who was initially skeptical of the organization's executives (thinking that they're all helpless losers), acknowledge Sekingar as their leader because of this. |
| 1435 | * RunningGag: In a twisted sort of way, twice he throws something to Genos while laying upright and misses completely both times, forcing Genos to shoot his arm out to catch the objects. [[spoiler:It's a dark joke since he's throwing with his off-hand given his dominate one was recently shot off by G5.]] |

| 1438 | [[folder:Cautous]] |
| 1439 | An executive whose part of what is presumably the Human Relations Department of the Hero Association. He is the Personnel Assessor who interviews other executives for promotions. |
| 1440 | ---- |
| 1441 | * OpaqueLenses: Most of the time, his glasses shine so bright that they obscure his eyes. |
| 1442 | * SkewedPriorities: He's focused on making a propaganda film with actual heroes (a waste of their time) despite them needing heroes, you know, actually doing heroic stuff now more than ever. |
| 1443 | [[/folder]] |
| 1444 | |
| 1445 | [[folder:Jinzuren]] |
| 1446 | A glasses wearing executive who's the Pro Hero Examination Administrator of the Hero Association. He proctored Genos and Saitama's hero examinations and, therefore, is one of the few executives who is aware that Saitama may be their greatest hero. |
| 1447 | ---- |
| 1448 | * ConnectedAllAlong: Apparently, he's the one who recruited Atomic Samurai to the organization. |
| 1449 | * PatiencePlot: This guy is perfectly aware that Saitama is S-Class material who has higher potential than Genos. He couldn't give Saitama a higher rank because he scored so low on the written exam. Despite that, he knows that all he has to do is wait for Saitama to burst into S-Class so he doesn't bother to sing his praises too highly. He just hints that he knows someone is about to get really big very shortly. |

| 1452 | [[folder:Busho]] |
| 1453 | [[MemeticMutation The bearded worker]] who has a passing resemblance to Blast (though he's just a normal guy). He works in Operation Office #6 as the Liaison Officer in the Hero Association. He is one of the most reasonable executives in the Association. |
| 1454 | ---- |
| 1455 | * ByTheBookCop: One of the completely non-corrupt executives. He doesn't care about promotions. He just cares about the heroes getting a fair shake. He even gets passed over for promotion by Cautous because his tendency to lodge complaints against corruption makes Cautous nervous that promoting him would get him (Cautious) fired. |
| 1456 | * IdenticalStranger: He has a passing resemblance to Blast from the webcomic leading fans to speculate that he is Blast in disguise a la Superman. Manga updates show this is very unlikely. Blast is much more bulky in the Manga and has since gotten a prominent facial scar which the bearded worker lacks. |
| 1457 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While initially confused and distrustful when Saitama answered Mumen Rider's phone, he quickly recognizes who he is talking to. He is then hesitant to send Saitama in because he is lower ranked than Mumen Rider who he knows is unsuited to fight Deep Sea King. However, after he sees Saitama's physical scores and with some support from Jinzuren, he sends Saitama anyways. It was a good decision all things considered. |
| 1458 | * RightManInTheWrongPlace: He's the one who gave Saitama the coordinates to the Deep Sea King through Mumen Rider's phone. It's a good thing that he did... |

| 1461 | [[folder:Gobrich]] |
| 1462 | Gobruch is an Arms Division Junior Hero Strengthening Office Section Chief for the Hero Association. He is the one in charge of the programs to train heroes to reach their potentials. |
| 1463 | ---- |
| 1464 | * BeleagueredBureaucrat: So much so that he's requested multiple transfers. The Hero Association has him completely overworked with very few resources. |
| 1465 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He fully agrees with the idea of helping the C-Class heroes get stronger, but doesn't want to resort to unethical methods to do so. |
| 1466 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A big portion of his job is to ignore the big wigs' advice to push drugs and modifications onto the heroes. He thinks it's pretty amoral and dangerous. [[spoiler:This is something the Neo Heroes later embrace wholeheartedly and the results show that Gobrich was right to be hesitant about such "training" techniques considering how arrogant and unheroic the Neo Heroes became.]] |

| 1469 | [[folder:Torvega]] |
| 1470 | Torvega is part of the Sales Division and is the Planning and Design Section Toy [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Designer]]. |
| 1471 | ---- |
| 1472 | * SkewedPriorities: He's much more concerned about the heroes not having cool costumes for basing toys on than being concerned about their fighting capabilities. Possibly justified given what his job is, but it's clear he really shouldn't be put in charge of any of the heroes. |
| 1473 | [[/folder]] |
| 1474 | |
| 1475 | [[folder:Exma]] |
| 1476 | Exma is the Hero Disciplinary Supervision Division Deputy Section Chief of the Hero Association. She takes her job a little too seriously. |
| 1477 | ---- |
| 1478 | * BadBoss: She is overly serious and harsh to her employees and the heroes. She takes discipline way too far. After hearing that some of her underlings and heroes have complained about her behavior, she states that she will find out who has been making comments and discipline them. This is not only retaliatory, but is outright described as a "reign of terror" by Cautous. |
| 1479 | [[/folder]] |
| 1480 | |
| 1481 | [[folder:Hero Name Victims Association]] |
| 1482 | ---- |
| 1483 | * EmbarrassingNickname: They hate the hero names the association picked for them and united together to get the association to change them. |
