Item

Overview

The Hero Association catalog is a book the organization releases so the general public can learn about its registered heroes, covering details such as each one's name, rank, and special combat techniques.

Function

The catalogue's information is far from reliable. Lower-ranked heroes often volunteer their secret moves and fighting styles freely, chasing publicity and the goodwill of fans. Heroes at A-Class and above, and the S-Class in particular, tend to withhold their true capabilities, keeping their techniques hidden so that monsters and villains cannot study their weaknesses and undermine their standing.
