How to Stop an Exploding Man
After being thrown by Sylar's telekinesis, Hiro quickly teleports before crashing into the building behind him. He finds himself outside Kyoto, Japan in 1671. Hiro hears the sound of a few Japanese soldiers, readying their bow and arrows and preparing to attack. He starts to run from the soldiers, but stops after he sees Takezo Kensei arrive from over a nearby hill. The two sides begin to battle but are frozen in awe as a solar eclipse occurs above their heads.
Trivia
- An interview with Tim Kring reveals that scenes that take place in feudal Japan are filmed in the Santa Monica Mountains and other outlying areas in California.
