About
After the sword is broken, Ando finds an ad for the repair shop in the Yellow Pages. Upon arriving, Mr. Claremont is surprised that Hiro has a Kensei sword. When Hiro asks if he can repair it, Claremont says it's up to Kaito. Kaito and Hiro train in swordfighting in the back room. When they finish, Hiro finds that Ando purchased his own sword and has gone to kill Sylar himself.
Hiro rushes out of Jittetsu Arms and ponders Ando's fate. Kaito urges Hiro to forget his friend and remember his mission, but Hiro asks his father to not lose faith in him and that he cannot let his friend die when he has the power to stop it. Kaito asks him not forget his legacy and hands him the repaired sword. Hiro teleports away.
