Summary
Once an aspiring hero from any Hero School obtains their Provisional Hero License, the next step for them is an internship. After all, nothing beats a hands-on learning experience underthe guidance of professional heroes. Most pro heroes have their own agency, and they are usually willing to take on students who want to be an intern at their place.
Each hero has a unique specialty, so it’s crucial for students to choose an agency that best fits their strengths and goals. That said, higher-ranking heroes naturally have larger agencies, with better facilities and staffed with more capable sidekicks. With that in mind, here’s a look at seven of thestrongest hero agencies inMy Hero Academia.
7Fourth Kind Agency
The Hero Agency for Every Chivalrous Hero
Fourth Kind may not be as well-known as the other heroes inMy Hero Academia, but he holds one of the most reliable and trustworthy hero agencies in his area. Furthermore, despite his scary, Yakuza-like appearance, the local citizens deeply trust and respect Fourth Kind and his agency. From patrolling the area to cleaning the local park, no task or request is too small for him and his sidekicks.
As a hero who relies on his physical strength, Fourth Kind also likes to gather other strength-based young heroes as interns and sidekicks,such as Red Riot Real Steel. With an agency full of strong heroes, people can always count on Fourth Kind and his agency to deal with any kind of villains that pop up in their area.
6Fat Gum Agency
A Grounded and Down-to-Earth Hero Agency
Compared to the other Hero Agencies inMy Hero Academia, Fat Gum Agency may seem small and insignificant. However, its small size is exactly what makes the agency so versatile and able to handle all sorts of cases on short notice.
As seen during the Shie Hassaikai Arc, Fat Gum and his sidekicks, along with the interns, always patrol their neighborhood every single day and tackle any kind of disruption that may arise. Thanks to that, he has an incredibly deep knowledge of everything that’s going on in the surrounding area. This means he can move swiftly and effectively whenever a villain or any other threats appear in his neighborhood, way faster than the big agencies. One shouls think of him as theMy Hero Academiaversion of Marvel’s Daredevil.
5Ryukyu Agency
The Best Agency for Every Aspiring Heroine
Despite being one of the top ten heroes in the country, Ryukyu remains incredibly humble and gentle, especially towards children. But make no mistake,she can literally turn into a giant dragonand destroy a whole city block in a matter of minutes if necessary.
In a lot of ways, her hero agency also operates under the same sentiment as Ryukyu herself. Even more than the other agencies inMy Hero Academia, Ryukyu Agency focuses more on saving and protecting civilians, rather than fighting the villains. For those purposes, she focuses on accepting sidekicks and training interns who have a similar mindset to her.
4Nighteye Agency
The Agency That Combines the Brains and the Brawn
Before he opened his own Hero Agency, Sir Nighteye used to be the sidekick for the undisputed No. 1 Hero in Japan, the one and only All Might. His foresight greatly helped All Might in his heyday, and now that he has his own Hero Agency, this quirk proves to be extremely beneficial for society as well.
Sir Nighteye may not be as physically strong as the other heroes ofMy Hero Academia, buthe more than makes up for it with his foresight quirk. After all, his quirk basically allows him to foresee every movement that the enemy will make and dodge it accordingly. The enemy may have destructive punching power, but it doesn’t mean much if they can’t land a hit, does it? This ability is also the reason why the Nighteye Agency is always involved in investigating and catching large criminal organizations, such as the dangerous Yakuza group known as Shie Hassaikai.
3Genius Office
A Fancy Agency for Sophisticated Heroes
Best Jeanist always believed that maintaining a respectable appearance, both in terms of outfit and attitude, is one of the duties of a hero. After all, how can one console injured civilians if they look worried and disheveled? This philosophy is similar to All Might’s “always smile” mindset.
Best Jeanist’s neat appearance and honorable nature, combined with his fiber manipulation quirk, reflect his focus on restraining and capturing enemies rather than taking them down. This approach is harder to execute and might seem quite restrictive to some, which is why Bakugou didn’t enjoy his internship under Best Jeanist. Still, it’s a style that minimizes casualties on both sides.
2Hawks Agency
The Agency That Focuses on Speed and Flight
As the No. 2 hero in the country and the only one in the top ten who has a pair of wings, Hawks is basically the best one when it comes to dynamic high-speed aerial movements. That’s why many aspiringheroes who have flight capabilityoften come to his agency as interns.
Hawks takes pride in his multitasking ability. He may not have Sir Nighteye’s foresight, but his sharp eyes are always on the lookout for everything around him. That’s why he can send some of his feathers to catch a cat falling from a tree while talking to some curious citizens at the same time. This high-speed yet flexible approach allows Hawks, along with his sidekicks and interns, to strike faster than other heroes while quickly responding to any threat or request they encounter along the way.
1Endeavor Agency
The No. 1 Hero Office in Japan
After All Might retired from being a hero, the one who stood up and took his place was the proud Flame Hero: Endeavor. As he defeated more enemies and gained recognition from the public as the undisputed top hero in the country, his Hero Agency inevitably grew larger and larger. After all,many heroes want to be his sidekicks, and lots of promising young heroes apply to be his intern.
As a hero, Endeavor’s approach has always been to go all out and overpower the enemy. This approach, along with the nature of his quirk, makes his battles flashy and over-the-top, but that doesn’t mean he simply charges forward without thinking. From precisely controlling his quirk’s output and intensity to timing his attacks perfectly, every move Endeavor makes in battle is calculated.
Those are the key techniques that Endeavor taught to Deku, Dynamight, Shoto, and every intern who came to his agency. The philosophy of striking hard and with precision, combined with the wealth of talented heroes working under Endeavor’s guidance, is a key reason why the Endeavor Agency stands among thestrongest Hero Agencies inMy Hero Academia.
