'''Heroes of /a/''' is a side tournament that was held on the [[/tnt/|/tnt/]] board on plus4chan. As implied by the board name in its title, this tournament pitted a selection of heroic characters featured primarily in various anime and manga against each other. It was conceived largely in response to the sheer difficulty in holding a main tournament on the /a/ board of 4chan, despite constant interest in the idea among tournament participants. The tournament simultaneous acts as the spiritual
The tournament was overall well-received among anons. A handful of polarized and confused reactions did arise towards the start due to certain qualifier results. Namely, Goku was three-ruled by Tienshinhan and a couple of random bystanders resembling the [[The Critic|Nostalgia Critic]] and the [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|Angry Video Game Nerd]] from the anime ''Zettai Karen Children'' were both allowed in. All three were easily eliminated in the following first round. The tournament's reception in later rounds would be generally much more positive.
The tournament's [[Elite Eight]] would include (in order of original debut) Lupin III from ''Lupin the Third'', [[Kenshiro]] from ''Fist of the North Star'', D from ''Vampire Hunter D'', [[Guts]] from ''Berserk'', [[Piccolo]] from ''Dragon Ball'', Shinji Ikari from ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'', [[Yugi|Dark Yugi]] from ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'', and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo from ''Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo''. The final win would go to the 64th Successor of Hokuto Shinken following a strong voting track record throughout the whole tournament. Many were satisfied with this Elite Eight line-up, and a few would directly compare it against the more ragtag line-ups from [[Heroes of /co/]] and [[Heroes of /v/|/v/]].
Similar to the previous two hero tournaments, Heroes of /a/ will be followed by a counterpart known as [[Villains of /a/]] in July.
