Key conclusions
- Business students manage public relations and support for Pro Heroes
- They handle the funding, promotion and agency management for Pro Heroes
- The management department plays a critical role in maintaining the Hero society
You'd think that the Hero Society would only rely on Pro Heroes as they fight crime and take down nefarious villains. However, the Heroy society My Hero Academy much more difficult than training students to become professional heroes.
The importance of students in the business faculty also takes priority as they are the glue that brings Pro Heroes to the public. Pro Heroes spend most of their time on the battlefield patrolling the area. As a result, any promotions or public relations are left to management or the business department, but how important are they?
What is the Business Courses Department?
They handle public relations between Pro Heroes and the community
UA High School has several academic departments besides heroics. These departments include the Heroes Department, General Education, Support and Management Department. Within the school, all students are divided into departments that they define. The Business course, or Department of Management, specializes in all aspects of heroism.
Society of Heroes v My Hero Academy doesn't work on Pro Heroes only. However, different layers of the Heroes society need support. In this society of heroes, a professional hero can open his own agency and manage his business. However, these professional heroes are mostly on the field, defeating villains and preventing crimes.
This is when business course students or management departments will shine. As the name suggests, the management department will deal with various aspects of the agency's operations; these include promotion, funding and possibly PR for Pro Heroes. As mentioned in Chapter 26, the Business Courses Department is responsible for promoting Pro Heroes based on their physical attributes or artistic sensibilities. As a result, it is likely that they also play a role in the recruitment aspect of hero agencies.
Importance of Department of Business Courses in the Last War
With little faith from the public, the business students shine in improving the reputation of Pro Heroes
As mentioned above, the business course department deals with all aspects of heroism that Pro Heroes cannot handle as they are on the battlefield every day. This shows the importance of the business course department, because only with their help is it possible to finance various enterprises or pay for damaged property.
However, there are other reasons why the Department of Management is so important to Hero society. In Chapter 359, business student Nagashiro Futo reveals that another job of the Management Department is to create Heroes, and their work is to bring the Heroes closer to society.
During the Endeavor arc and the Paranormal Liberation War, the citizens of this hero society quickly lost faith in their professional heroes. During this time, Dabi revealed the secrets of the Todaroki family, shedding light on Indevar's neglect and abuse of the family. This was also when the League of Villains gained more power by absorbing the Meta Liberation Army. In general, citizens lost hope in their Heroes due to several factors.
During this difficult time, the PR department of Hero agencies had to eliminate or correct the existing problems. However, the result of this lack of public relations caused the general public to ignore Pro Hero's words, take matters into their own hands when the villains were released from Tartarus, and invest in illegal support items.
Chaos arose because of the above. The general public no longer wanted to believe in their professional heroes, and when willing heroes tried to help them and did help, they were driven away. Also, when Endeavor went out on the field fighting villains, the people of the area threw trash at him, calling him a disgrace to a professional hero, and they no longer believed in the hero's abilities.
This is why a Department of Management or Business course is so important. This type of education helps students understand the importance of uniting the Society of Heroes and Pro Heroes. A drastic imbalance will occur if these two quarrel; this would prevent the Heroes from defending the area and could lead citizens to engage in dangerous activities that would lead to injuries.
In Chapter 380, Nagashiro Futo, a business student, tells Gentle Criminal why filming Pro Heroes in action is vital to the state of the Hero Society. During the Last War, many citizens still talked about heroes. However, by filming the battle and UA's floating fortress, the business students were able to right the wrongs.
At this time, the students in the business course could only film the events that took place, intending to make a documentary from the footage they captured during the battle of Shigaraki and All for One. However, the UA's electromagnetic barrier weakened, allowing La Brava to hack into their cell phones.
After La Brava found out that business students were filming The Gentle Criminal, she hacked the students' phones to broadcast the battle live on the Gentle's Heroic and Chivalrous channel. Thanks to this, many viewers began to flock to the stream to watch various battles. It also started a domino effect as several new reporters felt they had to cover the battle as well.
It shows the impact the business course students had on reporters and the general public, as the live broadcast reached audiences all over the world, not just in Japan. In addition to assisting hero agencies, the business course department is responsible for relations between the general public and heroes; without their help, Pro Heroes would not be able to operate effectively in the field.
My Hero Academy is now available to stream on Crunchyroll.
