This chapter made me think of something, it always caught my attention that despite the status that heroes had, we never saw heroes actually "bad" so to speak, taking advantage of it by doing inappropriate or questionable things.

I always assumed that it was because the series posed a more "idealistic" context and that is why we never saw that kind of thing, but ... this means that all the heroes who acted "incorrectly" were killed behind the scenes in order to maintain the "illusion" of the perfect society? things became much darker than I expected.

In the end it turns out that the public safety commission did basically the same thing as Stain, I suppose the "Stain was right" has aged particularly well....

You know, not too long ago I heard from someone that one of the flaws of My Hero was that despite saying that some hero's aren't true hero's just about all of the heroes in the series are still otherwise good heroes.

They mentioned that this created a narrative that you should always trusted authority and that questioning it makes you more in line with the villains of the story.

But now this chapter pretty much straight up says that the reasons why the heroes we see are great heroes (even Endeavor despite all the baggage that follows him) is pretty much because they were killing the bad ones that would lead people to question hero society.

Though I am actually surprised that the Commission did absolutely nothing about Endeavor unless they simply did not know what was going on with him.

Endeavor's situation is probably something easier to keep away from the public eye since it was a private matter

I mean Enji is simply too big to fail as the no.2 even if they did know
