The dragon

Isn't Hiro the dragon in the legend? Think about it; Hiro convinces Kensei to be a hero (The dragon teaches Kensei how to use a sword). Then, Kensei "died" because Hiro kissed Yaeko (The dragon wanted Yaeko in return, but Kensei ripped out his heart and gave it to the dragon). Chagi (talk) 13:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant Information

A good deal of this page is episode synopsis, and while this information may be of interest, it is not of specific relevence. Episode summary should be removed--specific wiki pages already exist for individual episodes. This removal would also eliminate a considerable quantity of maladroit writing. (The clumsy presentation and general irrelevance suggests that the original poster was an overzealous "Heroes" fan with minimal understanding of "topics") 169.237.69.239 (talk) 22:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

*Seriously, this page is a mess. There is so much needless info that it should be less than a quarter it's current length, especially that Fictional Character Synopsis section. People really need to get real and stick to the most relevant facts and events and back them up with third party sources. 15:45, 9/Dec/2008

Hiro's Power

It has been sugested that Hiro does not "freeze" time, he in fact slows time down so much to a point where it seems like time is frozen. In season three, there is apparantely a character with the power of super speed who can move normally when Hiro "freezes" time. I think this should be mentioned somewhere in the article.

Sounds good but I see two problems. One will go away and that is that the episode hasn't aired yet. Fansites are great but we need more concrete verifiability here in WP. The other may not go away ever; and that's the assumption made that because the person can move superfast they can defeat Hiro's power. The display hopefully leaves no doubt as to what's happening but, again, we have to see the episode to determine what's going on. padillaH ^{(review me)}_{(help me)} 15:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Why is the timeline splintred like this?

Hiro is the one character that has a reasonable expectation of recounting the "Alternate Future" since it wasn't an "alternate" to him, he was there. But why is it removed from the flow of the article? It should be as if the timeline were linear, because for him, it was. padillaH ^{(review me)}_{(help me)} 13:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Heroes s01 e04.jpg

The image Image:Heroes s01 e04.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.

Flowery Subsection headings

Why are the subsection headings so flowery in this article? "The Quest for the Blade of Takezo Kensei"? "An Old Friend"? and the worst "Race For the Formula, The Speedster and the New Future"? Where did these come from and why should we keep them? At best they are inconsistent with the other articles. Padillah (talk) 13:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hiro teleporting without teleporting himself

There is no way to no that he is doing this. For all we know he could stop time, teleport the other person, teleport back, and then start time again. We don't know that he does but we can't say that he doesn't either. Padillah (talk) 17:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I noticed his name is a combination of the names of the 2 last Japanese holdouts of World War II, who surrendered in 1974 - Hiroo Onoda and Teruo Nakamura. Is this just a coincidence? - 121.208.89.240 (talk) 07:56, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
