I think the "great disservice" part was that Hiro thought that he had not been doing his mission -- that he was just living a mundane life and not showing the bravery that his grandfather had exemplified. -[[User:Icewind|Icewind]] 11.15.06 // 4:23PM

== Hiro's illness ==
Hiro Nakamura runs out of mana. WTF. -[[User:Icewind|Icewind]] 11.27.06 // 8:54PM


*There's a really big possibility that Hiro's illness is caused by the catalyst when it was passed onto him, similarly to what happened to his [[Ishi|mother]]. Anybody agree?--{{User:NiveKJ13/sig1}} 13:01, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
Hiro doesn’t stop time, he moves independently from it. Stopping time would have universal ramifications. One person moving independently from time, not so much. When it appears that time stops, Hiro is basically just moving really fast.--[[User:ASEO|ASEO]] 11:04, 1 February 2007 (EST)
** No, Masi Oka confirmed it's because Hiro took others into frozen time. This overloaded his brain. {{User:Altes/Signature}}
***Cool. Well, its just a theory. --{{User:NiveKJ13/sig1}} 15:25, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
****That doesn't very well explain why he can time travel now though. [[User:Gamerelite1|Gamerelite1]] 15:05, 23 October 2009 (EDT)


== Hiro's list ==


I think we should create {{nowantedlink|Hiro's list|red=t}}. We already know some of the things he has on the list and I think it deserves a page. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 15:08, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
Hiro accidentally jumps away from Charlie. I still don’t understand why he doesn’t save her from being murdered, even if she is going to die anyway, at least she wouldn’t be murdered. --[[User:ASEO|ASEO]] 11:04, 1 February 2007 (EST)


== Questions ==
== Shiro Nakamura of Nissan ==


How did Hiro resume time when he was frozen?
Sounds fine. It's not stating that there's a necessary or causal relationship between one or the other, which we don't yet know. From my recollection, Hiro is named for sounding like "hero" and being explained somewhere that it's short for Hiroshima? Though dunno if that bit's canon. I've usually heard "Hiro" as short for Hiroyuki, though I guess there's likely other possibilities. His last name could be named after this Senior VP, or for some other reason, or be entirely coincidental. But it's just trivia. I usually figure if people read more into something than is actually written, they're the one's bearing the risk of going out on that limb. ^^ --[[User:Glue|Glue]] 05:48, 25 February 2007 (EST)
how did Hiro's ability restore? I'm guessing by time.
*No comment on Shiro Nakamura (although, Nakamura is a popular Japanese last name -- see [[Saemi Nakamura]]). Just a quick note about his name: ''Hiro'' sounding like ''hero'' is a very cool connection -- I'm sure it's purposeful, but not canonical. He mentioned he was named after [[Hiroshima]] in [[Graphic Novel:The Crane]]. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 08:46, 26 February 2007 (EST)
If Hiro dies and is bought back by Claire's blood would the tumour come back?
[[User:50000JH/signature]]
*You're really not making sense. Please revise your questions. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 16:13, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
Not being rude but. In what way am I'm not making sense? When Hiro Froze time it said that he was frozen and people were not. has does he come unfrozen?
When Matt restored Hiro Ability he only had time stop, how did he get teleport and time travel,
Noah said a tumour is living flesh and Claire blood will regenerate it, if Hiro dies from the tumour, would the tumour go when he dies and then be bought back to life would the tumour regenerate again. [[User:50000JH/signature]]
**Maybe when Hiro was still frozen, he couldn't control it while frozen, so maybe it "wore off". Matt Jr. probably restored the whole thing, but since he had also took Matt Jr. with him, like he did with Emma and Ando in other occasions (which was confirmed to be the source of his cancer), it disrupted his ability to teleport. If Hiro dies, there's no coming back, if he gets a blood transfusion, even if there is a single cancer cell left, it'll grow.

What means Peter heals him after he has a blood transfusion? [[User:50000JH/signature]]

***Now that you make sense: it makes no sense for Peter to give him a blood transfusion, he doesn't have Claire's ability, and as long as Hiro still has a tumor, getting that blood would only make him sicker. Giving him a transfusion after getting rid of the tumor would be pointless, because he would have already been healed by another ability. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 20:23, 24 October 2009 (EDT)
I mean what would happened if Hiro died because he still had the tumour, but Claire use her blood to bring him back to life and then Peter healed Hiro[50000JH 15:25, 17 November 2009 (EST)]

==Vote to change wording on hiro's page==
Under Once Upon a Time in Texas, we have "Hiro tackles Samuel and manages to teleport them both back to the present carnival." I vote that we change "teleport" to "tackleport" as it fully explains what he did, which is tackle-teleporting.[[User:Gamerelite1|Gamerelite1]] 19:54, 14 December 2009 (EST)
*"Tackleport" is not a word. On top of that, I'd hardly call what Hiro did to Samuel "tackling". --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 20:43, 14 December 2009 (EST)
**I'd say it was very tackleish.[[User:Gamerelite1|Gamerelite1]] 19:29, 16 December 2009 (EST)

== Hiro in Kanji ==


* If you check [[Memorable quotes#Hiro|this page]] you could probably add it there, if it isn't there already that is. As it is, I think we have enough for him, on his page, for the time being. -- {{User:Leckie/Signature 7}} 09:26, 26 December 2009 (EST)
I'm not Japanese, but I have been involved with Japanese Wado Ryu Karate and Shindo Yoshin Ryu Jiujitsu for years and years. I noticed that the article wants the kanji for Hiro's name. Here are the two best choices taken from the online J-E Dictionary at: http://dict.regex.info/cgi-bin/j-e/dosearch?sDict=on&H=PS&L=J&T=Hiro&WC=none&FG=r&BG=b&S=26
They are: <br>
1) [[Image:Kanji-Hiro.gif]]<b>"hiro": <br>the kanji entry which means 'fathom'</b> and is the most literal same romanji spelling of the name.<br><br>and<br>
2) [[Image:Kana-Hiro.gif]]<b>"hirroo": <br>the kana entry which means 'hero'</b>, and is a contextually more accurate fit. I will list that graphic #2 on the main page. <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 03/15/2007 17:12 (EST)</small>


== Mortal Enemy ==
Being directed here by a fellow member with obviously more Wiki-experience than I have, I am willing to discuss what Hiro's name in kanji should be. He explained to me that I should have Asian fonts as uploaded pictures, however I believe this to be bulky and distracting to the flow and aesthetics of the article in general, and looking at almost every other page that utilizes Asian fonts, they all have them as regular text. What I'm trying to say is, if you don't have Asian fonts installed, you not that interested in knowing Hiro's authentic name! Ok, just kidding about that, but I stand by my original opinion that pictures make it bulky looking. And to think that everytime you want to type Asian fonts you would have to make a picture and upload it, it would be aggravatingly painstaking.
Is Adam now Hiro's official mortal enemy or is it still Sylar? I am guessing that it's Adam. I know it was Sylar when he killed his beloved Charlie Andrews, but now he didn't.
[[User:Blood69]] 14:33, 1 February 2010 (AEST)
*Adam is long dead, it's kind of hard to have a mortal enemy who's no longer around. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 17:29, 1 February 2010 (EST)
**...or super easy! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:08, 1 February 2010 (EST)
***Adam's not long dead about a year or so. [[User:Melkor111|Melkor111]]


== Hiro's Death ==
From my couple of semesters of Japanese at my university, I can safely assume that the correct kanji for Hiro's family name is:
Ok, Ando's supercharged Hiro twice now. So the Ando-kills-Hiro future is pretty much gone now right?--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 18:07, 20 February 2010 (EST)
[[Image:Nakamura.GIF]]
*Unless there's more to his ability than he has discovered so far. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 18:13, 20 February 2010 (EST)
*Technically, Hiro's only been supercharged once. The first time was being shocked not amplifying his ability. I don't think there's more to Ando's power, we've seen, I guess, all it can do: supercharge others' abilities, shock things -- to bypass electrical gear and as electroshock therapy -- and it being used as concussive blast. The way Ando killed Hiro in a would-be future looks like a combination of the latter two. --[[User:Telos|Telos]] 8:54 24 February 2010 (EST)


== Superhiro ==
and his given name is: [[Image:Hiro.GIF]] because it was stated his name is based on the city of Hiroshima. <small>--[[User:Pred_0212|Pred_0212]] ([[User talk:Pred_0212|talk]]) 03/17/2007 23:17 (CST)</small>
Hiro has no tumor, has his full powers, and no longer has to worry about Charlie. <small>''oh, this is going to be good...''</small>--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 07:47, 25 February 2010 (EST)
* Sounds reasonable. We just need to be careful that it's clear that this is ''probably'' Hiro's name in kanji, since it's never been shown on screen or in a comic. As for the pictures: yes, it looks bulky, but the alternative is users seeing little boxes, which gives the impression that we're sloppy and don't care. A user without Asian language support is unlikely to know they lack it. An alternative would be to use actual text and write a help article about installing Eastern language support, and make sure that a note with a link to it appears every time we use kanji (probably with a template). I actually kind of like that idea, but I don't even remember what was involved in adding Eastern language support, and I don't speak or read any Eastern languages. If you'd like to collaborate on it, I can set up the shell for the help page and add the template, if you're willing to provide instructions for at least IE and Firefox (and we should ask [[User:Admin|Admin]] how many and which non-IE/FF hits we get so we can add more if needed.)--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 00:29, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
*<small>Anyone agree? Am I alone? T.T</small>--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 16:11, 27 February 2010 (EST)
**I prefer the pictures (though they can be made smaller to be less bulky and less interrupting of flow) because I often work on Heroes Wiki at work. My computer there does not have Asian language support, and I have been denied permission to download it there ... go figure. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 00:40, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
**If I'm being honest with you, that was more of a statement than someone looking for agreement. But yes. I can't wait to see what he does as well. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 16:13, 27 February 2010 (EST)
***Well, yeah. But you know what the little boxes mean, and if you didn't, then the help page would tell you, even if you couldn't do anything about it. I think Pred has a point: uploading (and maintaining) images is a pain compared to text (not that there's a ''ton'' of kanji, nor should there be, but still...) It's also less accessibility-friendly to have text as images (assuming a blind visitor has a speech browser than supports Eastern languages, I guess...) and is generally considered poor web design (at least without alt text, and alt text on Wiki is either the caption, or the filename if there's no caption). I definitely think images are the way to go on, say, [[The Symbol]], because they're in a gallery and fit well with that page. But for a quick note on a character page or episode, straight text is probably the way to go. Besides, we already have a ton of non-image kanji that's snuck into the articles--including this one, I just noticed.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 00:46, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
***Yeah, I wasn't really thinking when I posted that.--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 17:29, 1 March 2010 (EST)
****Right, I'm not saying we should use images, either. I'm just sorta playing devil's advocate, and stating my preference. Well, at least my preference for when I'm at work....That, and I'm just complaining about my 1982 model computer at work. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 01:07, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
**[[wikipedia:Template:Contains_Japanese_text|Here's]] the template Wikipedia uses. We could conceivably add one for [[wikipedia:Template:IndicTextRight|Indic text]] as well on the off chance somebody's able to translate [[:Image:1x8-Files.jpg|Chandra's file]] for us, and use one centralized help page.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 00:57, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
*** Thanks for the insight on how we should resolve this, Hardvice. You are right, we need to agree that it is probably his name, and I already knew that those characters are just going on assumption, perhaps I should have stated clearer. You are also right saying that the only Japanese probably to exist on this wiki would be on Hiro's page, and for the time being, it would be fairly limited to his Japanese name. I am willing to update Hiro's page with my contributions if it is the general consensus. --[[User:Pred 0212|Pred 0212]] 01:34, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
****That's fine, Pred, go ahead and update the page. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 01:41, 18 March 2007 (EDT)


== Portal:Hiro ==
==Age==
Is it safe to change his age to 30, since he was 28 in 2007? (He's also a few months older due to time-travel...)--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 16:04, 16 March 2010 (EDT)
*Anyone there? Hello?--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 07:15, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
** I'm not sure... I think it's more likely that he's older, 31, but 30 should be safe, I think.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 11:41, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
** He was born before March 1979. Add 30 years, and we're at March 2009. It's been at least eight months since then in-universe. Plus time-travel aging. I think it should be safe to put his age as 31.--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 16:22, 22 March 2010 (EDT)


== Saved the World ==
I have been wanting to create a portal or page for each main character. See my [[User:Ohmyn0/sandbox|Sandbox]] for a ''very'' rough draft of one. Besides "Portal:Hiro" we could make it "World:Hiro" or the like. Thoughts? Comments? --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 20:54, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
"I saved the world...twice." Hiro repeatedly says this line. What ''are'' the two times he saved the world up to [[Our Father]] (first occurrence of the line)? --[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 07:35, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
*Yeah, I think it's a nice idea. I'm not sure about the name, and there are some changes I would make, but I could see the concept fitting in with the site. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 22:17, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
*First time he "killed" Sylar. The second time he (thought) he stopped Adam from releasing the virus (which technically he did; had Adam been in there any longer, he would have released it). --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 09:04, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
**I like that idea too. The one problem I see wiht that is because of the interconnections of all the characters, eventually everyone would have,like, 100 articles on their portal.

**Ah, I forget ''he'' stopped Adam. Thanks.--[[User:Boycool42|Boycool42]] 16:22, 25 March 2010 (EDT)
*I like this quite a bit, and I think as long as we're reasonably careful about what's a related article, they won't be too enormously long. To avoid confusion with the main portals, which are category-driven, I'd suggest something along the lines of "Related articles:Hiro Nakamura", and possibly a multi-column approach (since most of the rows have only one or two links). As for the formatting, you could try using [[Template:PortalPlotPoints]] for everything: it's a nice, generic template with a ton of reflexes, including the ability to resize infinitely, and it doesn't do too bad of a job with character pictures. You could also use [[Template:imagelink]] which lets you use ''any'' image as a link without a special portal template and is also infinitely scalable. As for content, I think you did a good job (I might add [[Charlie]] and [[Hiro and the Dinosaur (painting)]], but others like the [[Japanese schoolgirl]] and [[Hiro's boss]] are probably minor enough to leave off).--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 01:38, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

* I like the multicolumn one, but it might just be because the centered section titles creep me out. And listing the less important articles (which could also include stuff like Hope, Steve Gustavson, the High Roller, Ernie, and the like) as text links instead of portal images is a nice touch ... it gives us room to expand without making things too crowded.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 02:40, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
****When he ripped up the formula in Dual, he didn't save the world. He simply fufilled the end of a predestination paradox. Remember, at the beginning of the season Hiro only had one half of the formula. He was the one who split it in the first place.--{{User:PJDEP/signature1}} 15:24, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
**It's looking better and better. One of my concerns is a standard for what we include. For instance, Hiro worked at the [[Burnt Toast Diner]], so why not include it? Personally, I would include ''[[9th Wonders!]]'', too. But somebody else might think something else belongs or doesn't belong, and I'd hate to see a lot of back-and-forth over what's included. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 06:31, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
**I have an idea similar to this. I want to create categories for articles related to certain characters.

***The idea of a category and a portal-type page are very similar, and I don't think we should do both. I tend to think a portal would be better--it'd be weird to see [[Yamagato Industries]] with categories like: [[:Category:Businesses]], [[:Category:Galleries]], and <font color=blue>Category:Hiro</font>. I'm just not sure a category is the right way to go--plus, a portal would be a bit more user-friendly. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 10:31, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

*****Right, I think that's kind of what [[User:Ohmyn0/sandbox|this]] is, only not on a category page. I'm not opposed to a page with Hiro-related articles, but I personally think putting a category on each of those pages is a bit much. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 11:00, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
*** I also don't think a category is an appropriate way to tie together a bunch of related-but-not-similar articles. Categories, when they're used properly (and yes, some of ours are a little too liberally used) organize articles by type of subject (a group of places, a group of items, a group of people) rather than relationship. Series bars organize a group of related articles regardless of type (articles related to Linderman, articles related to Sylar, etc.). Plus, the name of the category should describe its contents, so a category called "Sylar" would have one article in it: [[Sylar]]. A category called "articles related to Sylar" would work, but again, I think that's better accomplished through series bars and portals. It's just not what categories do best.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:49, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
****You reminded me of that category we used to have, "Jessica's victims". It's a good illustration of a poor choice for a category. We opted instead to go with a series bar and a page of its own. I think that the "portal" page [[User:Ohmyn0/sandbox|Ohmyn0]] has created is the better option, if we choose to go this route at all. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 14:22, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

== Discrepancies in the Depiction of Hiro's Power ==
So this page has listed that Hiro is 24 I believe since the page was created. The script (or a casting call??) said that was his age. However, Kaito said that he's been watching Hiro for "close to 30 years". Though that could still be 24 years (or 25 now, possibly), I'd say Hiro is a bit older than that. I'd feel much more comfortable taking the age off the infobox, and putting both ages in the notes until something more concrete is revealed. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:43, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
* I think when a father is talking to his son's friend, saying close to 30 years is saying he's not 30 years, but he's not 20. 24 years is fine by me, since Ando more than likely knows the age of Hiro.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 16:48, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
* I agree. Right now it says "30", which is clearly wrong. I'd rather not have it listed. Heck, what with all of the age discrepancies of late, I'd almost just as soon remove age from the infobox. It almost always is "around" some age or requires an explanation.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 21:59, 7 October 2007 (EDT)
**Agree, it's much better off the infobox altogether. I'll add a note. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:51, 7 October 2007 (EDT)


* In the conclusion of [[Episode:Game Over|Game Over]], Hiro leaves modern-day [[Renautas]] wearing his glasses and with his hair a long, tangled mess. He then arrives in June Whatever, 2013, without glasses and with his hair brushed and tied back (making the Master of Time and Space also the master of hair and face). This seemed a glaring mistake, but as I fueled my nerd rage for an internet tirade, it suddenly dawned that his travel powers have ALWAYS been represented inconsistently. Normally. his arrival at a location isn't noted by any people present, suggesting that he appears in a timeline wherein he is already present. However, this doesn't seem to hold up when the person present at an arrival destination is [[Ando]]. He always seems to see what we see on screen, Hiro popping into existence. And of course, people always seem to notice when he escapes their grasp with his power, when perhaps they should just be going about their business in blissful ignorance.

Hiro's illness

  • There's a really big possibility that Hiro's illness is caused by the catalyst when it was passed onto him, similarly to what happened to his mother. Anybody agree?--NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 13:01, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
    • No, Masi Oka confirmed it's because Hiro took others into frozen time. This overloaded his brain. AltesUTC CH
      • Cool. Well, its just a theory. --NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 15:25, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
        • That doesn't very well explain why he can time travel now though. Gamerelite1 15:05, 23 October 2009 (EDT)

Hiro's list

I think we should create Hiro's list. We already know some of the things he has on the list and I think it deserves a page. --mc_hammark 15:08, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

Questions

How did Hiro resume time when he was frozen? how did Hiro's ability restore? I'm guessing by time. If Hiro dies and is bought back by Claire's blood would the tumour come back? User:50000JH/signature

  • You're really not making sense. Please revise your questions. --mc_hammark 16:13, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

Not being rude but. In what way am I'm not making sense? When Hiro Froze time it said that he was frozen and people were not. has does he come unfrozen? When Matt restored Hiro Ability he only had time stop, how did he get teleport and time travel, Noah said a tumour is living flesh and Claire blood will regenerate it, if Hiro dies from the tumour, would the tumour go when he dies and then be bought back to life would the tumour regenerate again. User:50000JH/signature

    • Maybe when Hiro was still frozen, he couldn't control it while frozen, so maybe it "wore off". Matt Jr. probably restored the whole thing, but since he had also took Matt Jr. with him, like he did with Emma and Ando in other occasions (which was confirmed to be the source of his cancer), it disrupted his ability to teleport. If Hiro dies, there's no coming back, if he gets a blood transfusion, even if there is a single cancer cell left, it'll grow. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 16:30, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

What means Peter heals him after he has a blood transfusion? User:50000JH/signature

      • Again, you're not making much sense. We shouldn't have to have a hard time understanding what you mean. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 19:04, 23 October 2009 (EDT)
      • Now that you make sense: it makes no sense for Peter to give him a blood transfusion, he doesn't have Claire's ability, and as long as Hiro still has a tumor, getting that blood would only make him sicker. Giving him a transfusion after getting rid of the tumor would be pointless, because he would have already been healed by another ability. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 20:23, 24 October 2009 (EDT)

I mean what would happened if Hiro died because he still had the tumour, but Claire use her blood to bring him back to life and then Peter healed Hiro[50000JH 15:25, 17 November 2009 (EST)]

Matt

Would Matt finally heal Hiro's tumour, as he did when Angelia had her Commer?50000JH 15:29, 17 November 2009 (EST)

Vote to change wording on hiro's page

Under Once Upon a Time in Texas, we have "Hiro tackles Samuel and manages to teleport them both back to the present carnival." I vote that we change "teleport" to "tackleport" as it fully explains what he did, which is tackle-teleporting.Gamerelite1 19:54, 14 December 2009 (EST)

  • "Tackleport" is not a word. On top of that, I'd hardly call what Hiro did to Samuel "tackling". --Ricard Desi (t,c) 20:43, 14 December 2009 (EST)
    • I'd say it was very tackleish.Gamerelite1 19:29, 16 December 2009 (EST)
      • Im sorry but this idea is retarded 'tackleporting' there are so many things wrong with that Melkor111

MQ

"You're not butterfly men, You're an evil butterfly men."

- Hiro (To Samuel)

I really like this one, should we add it?-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 09:21, 26 December 2009 (EST)

  • If you check this page you could probably add it there, if it isn't there already that is. As it is, I think we have enough for him, on his page, for the time being. -- Leckie -- Talk 09:26, 26 December 2009 (EST)

Mortal Enemy

Is Adam now Hiro's official mortal enemy or is it still Sylar? I am guessing that it's Adam. I know it was Sylar when he killed his beloved Charlie Andrews, but now he didn't. User:Blood69 14:33, 1 February 2010 (AEST)

  • Adam is long dead, it's kind of hard to have a mortal enemy who's no longer around. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 17:29, 1 February 2010 (EST)

Hiro's Death

Ok, Ando's supercharged Hiro twice now. So the Ando-kills-Hiro future is pretty much gone now right?--Boycool42 18:07, 20 February 2010 (EST)

  • Unless there's more to his ability than he has discovered so far. --mc_hammark 18:13, 20 February 2010 (EST)
  • Technically, Hiro's only been supercharged once. The first time was being shocked not amplifying his ability. I don't think there's more to Ando's power, we've seen, I guess, all it can do: supercharge others' abilities, shock things -- to bypass electrical gear and as electroshock therapy -- and it being used as concussive blast. The way Ando killed Hiro in a would-be future looks like a combination of the latter two. --Telos 8:54 24 February 2010 (EST)

Superhiro

Hiro has no tumor, has his full powers, and no longer has to worry about Charlie. oh, this is going to be good...--Boycool42 07:47, 25 February 2010 (EST)

  • Anyone agree? Am I alone? T.T--Boycool42 16:11, 27 February 2010 (EST)
    • If I'm being honest with you, that was more of a statement than someone looking for agreement. But yes. I can't wait to see what he does as well. --mc_hammark 16:13, 27 February 2010 (EST)
      • Yeah, I wasn't really thinking when I posted that.--Boycool42 17:29, 1 March 2010 (EST)

Age

Is it safe to change his age to 30, since he was 28 in 2007? (He's also a few months older due to time-travel...)--Boycool42 16:04, 16 March 2010 (EDT)

  • Anyone there? Hello?--Boycool42 07:15, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
    • I'm not sure... I think it's more likely that he's older, 31, but 30 should be safe, I think.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:41, 22 March 2010 (EDT)
    • He was born before March 1979. Add 30 years, and we're at March 2009. It's been at least eight months since then in-universe. Plus time-travel aging. I think it should be safe to put his age as 31.--Boycool42 16:22, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

Saved the World

"I saved the world...twice." Hiro repeatedly says this line. What are the two times he saved the world up to Our Father (first occurrence of the line)? --Boycool42 07:35, 24 March 2010 (EDT)

  • First time he "killed" Sylar. The second time he (thought) he stopped Adam from releasing the virus (which technically he did; had Adam been in there any longer, he would have released it). --mc_hammark 09:04, 24 March 2010 (EDT)
    • Ah, I forget he stopped Adam. Thanks.--Boycool42 16:22, 25 March 2010 (EDT)
      • Wouldn't it be three times now since he ripped up the formula in Dual? --?--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 21:08, 25 March 2010 (EDT)
        • No matter how many times he saved it, he would have still have saved it at least twice. --mc_hammark 15:13, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
        • When he ripped up the formula in Dual, he didn't save the world. He simply fufilled the end of a predestination paradox. Remember, at the beginning of the season Hiro only had one half of the formula. He was the one who split it in the first place.--PJDEP - Talk - Polls and Opinions 15:24, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
          • And then he ripped it into dozens of pieces after he got back to present-day, stopping the world from splitting in half.--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 21:48, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
