The importance of the business department students also takes precedence, as they are the glue that brings the Pro Heroes to the public. The Pro Heroes spend most of their time on the battlefield, patrolling the area. As a result, any promotion or dealings with the public are left to the management or business department, but how important are they?

UA High School has several education departments in addition to Heroics. These departments include the Department of Heroes, General Education, Support, and Management. Within the school, all students are divided into the departments they specify. The Business Course, or Department of Management, specializes in all aspects of heroics.

The Society of Heroes in My Hero Academy It doesn't just work on Pro Heroes. Instead, various sections of the Hero society require support. In this Hero society, it's possible for a Pro Hero to open their own agency and run their own business. However, these Pro Heroes are mostly out in the field, defeating bad guys and preventing crime.

This is where the Business Course students or Management Departments will shine. As the name suggests, the Management Department will handle various aspects of the agency, including promotion, funding, and possibly public relations for the Pro Heroes. As mentioned in Chapter 26, the Business Course Department is responsible for promoting the Pro Heroes based on their physical attributes or artistic sensibilities. As a result, they are likely to play a role in the recruitment aspect of hero agencies as well.

Despite low public trust, economics students shine in restoring reputations of professional heroes

As mentioned above, the Business Course Department takes care of all the aspects of heroism that Pro Heroes cannot handle, since they are on the battlefield every day. This shows the importance of the Business Course Department, since financing various initiatives or paying for damaged properties would only be possible with their help.

However, there are other reasons why the Management Department is so important to the hero society. In chapter 359, economics student Nagashira Futo reveals that another job of the Management Department is to produce heroes, and their work is meant to bring heroes closer to society.


During the Endeavor and Paranormal Liberation War arc, the citizens of this hero society quickly lost faith in their professional heroes. During this time, Dabi revealed the Todoroki family's secrets, exposing Endeavor's neglect and abuse of his family. It was also during this time that the League of Villains gained more power by absorbing the Meta Liberation Army. Overall, several factors caused the citizens to lose hope in their heroes.

During this difficult period, the Hero agencies' public relations department should have corrected or rectified the issues in question. However, the result of not maintaining these public relations was that the general public did not listen to the words of the Pro Hero, took matters into their own hands when the villains were released from Tartarus, and invested in illegal support items.


Due to the above, chaos ensued. The general public no longer wanted to believe in their Pro Heroes and when the aspiring heroes tried to help and assist them, they were turned away. Furthermore, when Endeavor was in the field fighting the villains, the citizens of the area would throw garbage at him, calling him a disgrace of a Pro Hero and no longer had faith in the Hero's abilities.

This is why the Department of Management or Business course is so important. This type of education helps students understand how important it is to unite the Hero Society and the Pro Heroes. There would be a clear imbalance when these two clashed; this would prevent the Heroes from protecting the area and could lead to citizens engaging in dangerous activities, resulting in injuries.

In chapter 380, Nagashira Futo, a student in the economics class, explains to Gentle Criminal why filming the actions of the Pro Heroes in action is crucial to the state of hero society. During the Final War, many citizens still had reservations about the heroes. However, by filming the battle and the UA's floating fortress, the economics class students were able to right the wrongs.


At that time, the students of the economics course could only film the events that had occurred, intending to make a documentary with the footage they had taken during the battle with Shigaraki and All For One. However, the UA's electromagnetic barrier had weakened, which allowed La Brava to hack their cell phones.

After La Brava discovered that students in the economics class were filming Gentle Criminal, she hacked the students' phones to livestream the battle on Gentle's Heroic and Chivalrous channel. As a result, many viewers began flocking to the stream to watch the various battles. This also started a domino effect as several new reporters felt it was their duty to broadcast the battle as well.

This shows the impact that the business students have had on journalists and the general public, as the livestream has reached a global audience, not just the Japanese people. In addition to helping the hero agencies, the business department is responsible for the relationship between the general public and the heroes; without their help, the Pro Heroes would not be able to work effectively in the field.


My Hero Academy is now available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
