User blog comment:Mellowix/Hero Society Flaw: Sidekicks and Agencies/@comment-44522966-20200824214200

Sidekicks aren't pressured to start their own agencies, and for example in vigilantes they do highlight that its bad for someone to go independent quickly since like you mentioned theres an over saturation of hero agencies which is why they encourage aspiring heroes to join already well established agencies rather than create their own.

About the sidekick term, i agree it could be considered a demeaning title but since alot of the hero culture in the MHA Universe is derived from super hero comics wouldn't it only make sense they use that term plus sidekicks are also reputable and seeing how the internships work, some students are scouted to work along pro-heroes because they're deemed valuable. Endeavours sidekicks, i can't remember his name but he's the one that can change trajectory of things was shown to be very useful to him: so i think sidekicks are taken seriously it just depends how they work alongside their respective agencies.

it would be cool to see how sidekicks are categorised.

I agree it should be explored more as well. Great discussion tho!
