Overview

The Hero Name Victims Association gathers registered heroes who resent the codenames the Hero Association handed them. Its ranks stretch from C-Class up through A-Class, united by a single grievance and a single demand: that the Association apologize and grant them replacement names. When they recruited Saitama, arguing that no A-Class hero carried a worse name than his, he took up the role of their leader.

Role

During the Neo Heroes Uprising Arc, the members begged Saitama to head their cause, and though he first confused them for the rumored Neo Heroes, the matter nagged at him long afterward. Genos misread his brooding as worry over Sweet Mask. The group later assembled outside Hero Association headquarters to air their complaints as staff debated the Neo Heroes, only for the protest to break when Dragon-level monsters were reported.

Rushing to where Suiko, Butterfly DX, and Chain'n'toad were losing to the Dragon-threat robot Mirror, the association chose to fall back, all but Saitama, who smashed the machine the instant it mocked his hero name. The feat spread word of his power and drew the notice of the lurking Blue. The Hero Association conceded Mirror's defeat but doubted the group deserved credit, and as the protests dragged on, the officials brushed them aside to focus on the Neo Heroes. Between rallies the members also answered monster alerts, once arriving to find a Neo Heroes squad had already cleared the scene thanks to their vehicles and helicopters, though Saitama still outran them all to the next emergency.
