Talk:Sidekicks

So would characters like Mirio count as sidekicks? I know they're interns, but for all intents and purposes, aren't they esentially sidekicks? Just wondering so I can try and fill this page out a bit more. What exactly do we classify a sidekick as - Someone who is officially refered to as such, or someone who works underneath a Hero?

Izuku said in Chapter 126 that Mirio is on the way of becoming Nighteye's sidekick the moment he graduates, so it appears graduation is necessary to become a sidekick in the first place. One probably needs a professional license of some sort that can only be obtained after finishing high school.

A sidekick is pretty much a Hero that works under another Pro Hero. Some eventually leave to become heroes of their own while others remain sidekicks forever. I think Kyoka said this once. I'm not sure if they can be considered Pro Heroes as they're not independent, so it's better to just refer to them as Heroes to be safe. KingCannon (talk) 13:48, August 18, 2017 (UTC)
