Future Hiro has been to Feudal Japan and lived as Takezo Kensei.	None.	+ With his sword, soulpatch, and ponytail (and without the glasses), Future Hiro greatly resembles the paintings of Kensei. - It's possible that Future Hiro borrowed his fashion sense from the historical depictions of Kensei. It's also possible that he never went to Feudal Japan, as his message to Peter altered the timeline. Finally, it has been heavily implied that Future Hiro's sword is the actual Kensei sword, as Future Hiro presumably undertook the same journey to steal the sword that Hiro did in Season 1. + After "the kiss that fractured history", the original Kensei seems likely to turn evil (The Line). Hiro may take over the name, armor, sword, and hero role of Kensei, marrying Yaeko and facing the Dragon of Kiso Mountain. This could be how Future Hiro becomes a battōjutsu master. + The sword that Ando finds the scrolls in is Future Hiro's sword, which means he could have experienced Feudal Japan. - Ando died in that timeline so Hiro would have no reason to write the scrolls. + Thinking Sylar was dead and not knowing Ando was killed, he would have written the messages anyway. • Even when writing the scrolls to Ando, he still put them in the sword handle. As the journey in the past progressed, he took the Kensei sword along with him that would have affected the history of the sword, including Mr. Linderman's ownership of this sword. - Future Hiro doesn't exist anymore because the Explosion didn't destroy New York. + It's seems unlikely that Adam Monroe would've become the revenge-seeking immortal who founded the Company without the "assistance" of Hiro (or some version thereof). • He's over 400 years old. Who knows what he's capable of on his own? + In both realities, Hiro stabbed Sylar and was flung away; he would have teleported to the past and met/created what would become Adam Monroe regardless. This explains how Adam was involved with the founding of The Company in all versions of reality. The only difference is in the alternate future, Sylar could heal, creating the explosion timeline.
