The stage lights warmed the wide convention floor as the crowd erupted into deafening cheers. Thousands of fans packed the Tokyo Dome Convention Center, buzzing with energy and admiration. Banners for HeroCon rippled across the arena, and a massive sign blazed above the main panel stage: “Pro Hero Q&A + Truth or Dare Chaos Hour!” The audience’s excitement spiked. After all, this wasn’t just any panel—it featured the titans of hero society.

To the far left of the semicircle sat Enji Todoroki, better known as Endeavor, his flame-scarred face unreadable behind a rigid frown. Dressed in a sleek, custom navy suit with red-orange accents, his presence was as intense as his quirk. Arms crossed, he looked like he’d rather be fighting villains than entertaining a crowd.

Beside him lounged Keigo Takami—Hawks—the Number Two hero. Golden wings draped lazily over the chair behind him. He wore a beige bomber jacket with dark cargo pants and grinned like a fox loose in a henhouse. His eyes flitted across the crowd, loving the attention even as he twirled a feather between his fingers.

Next came the impeccable Tsunagu Hakamada, aka Best Jeanist. In a sharp, dark denim suit and high collar that practically covered his face, he maintained a stiff, stylish posture. He greeted fans with a composed nod, threading words like stitches with flair and precision.

Rumi Usagiyama, or Mirko, cracked her knuckles audibly, her white leotard and muscular build a bold contrast to her energetic posture. She leaned forward, legs apart and grinning like she was daring the crowd to throw a challenge her way. Her red eyes gleamed with mischief.

In contrast, Shinya Kamihara, known as Edgeshot, sat straight and calm. Clad in his ninja-style suit, his expression remained unreadable under the cloth covering half his face. His stillness gave off the vibe of a coiled spring—controlled, precise, deadly.

Next, the ever-confident Yu Takeyama—Mt. Lady—flicked her long blonde hair and waved to the cameras. Wearing a sleek designer version of her hero outfit with glossy purple heels, she basked in the attention. Every flash of a camera gave her more energy.

Beside her sat her often-overlooked partner, Shinji Nishiya—Kamui Woods. Clad in his brown, bark-textured armor, he nodded modestly to fans, his voice quiet but sincere. His presence was calm, rooted, like a tree holding steady in a storm.

Ryuko Tatsuma, the calm and noble Ryukyu, wore a soft smile. Her dragon-scaled gloves gleamed slightly under the lights. She sat poised and graceful, commanding quiet respect.

Taishiro Toyomitsu, the jolly and round Fat Gum, laughed loudly as he waved to fans, his yellow jacket stretched over his round belly. His warmth was infectious, and he handed out rice crackers to front-row attendees before the panel even began.

Shouta Aizawa—Eraser Head—sat slouched in his chair, black scarf wrapped loosely around his neck. His tired eyes swept the crowd, and he sipped coffee from a thermos like it was the only thing keeping him from disappearing altogether.

Beside him, Hizashi Yamada—Present Mic—was already in full-blown MC mode. Neon sunglasses gleaming, he shouted into the mic with pure energy. "YEAHHH, HERO FAM! Make some NOISE for your panel of peacekeeping POWERHOUSES!"

Nemuri Kayama, the sultry and fierce Midnight, leaned into her mic and winked at the crowd. In her more conservative event outfit, she still radiated command, her voice smooth velvet.

Gang Orca, stoic and imposing, sat upright with his flipper-like hands folded neatly. Dressed in a formal modified suit, his sharp orca eyes scanned the audience with quiet strength, his low voice rumbling when he greeted fans.

And then, at the center… was {{user}}—now officially Japan’s Number Three Pro Hero.
