{{{(>.<)}}} (o.o) \(^o^)/

I've done something good! On our way out of Las Vegas, I saved the lives of two people! I stopped time right before the car exploded and dragged them to safety. They were pretty heavy. Need to level up my strength. (;´ρ`)

I did seem to level up my time freezing though. All that practice paid off. I can freeze time for 1 minute pretty comfortably. With more practice, maybe I can master it and stop time for even longer!

I guess the lady in the car wasn't the cheerleader. She didn't have any pom poms. Too bad. If she was the cheerleader we would've saved the world, according to future me via Peter.

The man I saved was tall and black. He seemed very serious. He didn't even smile. His son seemed nice but he didn't smile either. Being a hero is a very thankless job but at least they could smile (^.^) His son seemed to know about 9th Wonders. Is it a popular comic book?

At least we're on the road again finally getting back to our mission. I guess we have two missions now. Cheerleader then New York. It's a pretty long ride. So much desert. Where are the Jawa's? Maybe there is a Cantina on the way.

We're right now on Highway 40 which is also Route 66. Ka-chow! (*´ο`*)=3 sigh. I should've brought my PSP with me. Could've watched some movies. Pixar stuff is great but nothing compares to Miyazaki films. My favorite is Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Do Americans watch Miyazaki films?

I think you guys are right. I should definitely get a Katana. It's the way to go. (^o^)==[=======/

I can name it 正宗 (masamune) or maybe come up with my own like 時空刀 (jikuutou). Do you guys have ideas for names?

Just happy to be on the right heroic path.

Great hera,
Hiro

P.S. Lots of diners in America and all of them have waffles! \(^o^)/ I think blueberry is my favorite so far.

hiro is wierd

I do watch Miyazaki films. I love them. The music from Laputa is amazing, especially the beginning. I love all the other movies and music too. Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite for the animation, but the story for Spirited Away has the best story.

What do you think of spiderman? Hiro

Hello Hiro =)

I'm from Malaysia, maybe you ca come visit sometime.

It's Visit Malaysia Year, and since you travel free... XD

I love Miyazaki films, my favourite is also Howl's Moving Castle. Although, i've not seen it in a very long time, because my best friend Jing Pei took it and has not return it.

I don't think she has actually seen it either.

Very nice site! Good work.

Very nice site! Good work.

Very nice site! Good work.

Miyazaki Love him. however My personal favoite is Porco Russo. The Crimson pig!

DnD is up to version 3.5.. Higher AC is better..

Very nice site! Good work.

Oyasuminasai.
Yes, Americans (like me at least) love Miyazaki! My favorite was Spirited Away, at least until Howl's Moving Castle. I didn't know it could get better, but he's just keeps putting the good ones out and they get better each time!
I'm very sorry about Charlie. You two seem to get along really well.
Good luck on controlling your powers. Btw, the sword-- TOO cool. I agree with a person above me who said it should be named "Timeless" in Japanese, or something to that effect.
~Britt

bane o darkness, light blade, final justice, dust, and paladin are th names ah think
ye sword migh be called

also see ma look fa me ah can bless the bad ta be a true evle fighter effective on all things o th nigh

AMEN

There are no jawas or a cantina in the desrt, thats in star wars. I liked that

Speaking of names, how do you write your own? I'm assuming Nakamura is 中村 What about Hiro? (For that matter, are you actually ひいろ? Or ひろう? Or even ひいろう? I need to pay closer attention next time Ando says your name... ^^;)

Hiro!
Name your sword, "正宗"
That would be all sorts of awesome. > w

You should name your sword cronotheo. In greek mythology cronos means time and theo means god, just saying seeing as how you are the time traveler and i have high hope for you. please message via email for Questions

the masamune is a sword from a old snes game chrono trigger, great game yea just wanted to throw that out, i love this series its great keep up the good work

the masamune is a sword from a old snes game chrono trigger, great game yea just wanted to throw that out, i love this series its great keep up the good work

Yatta! Hiro's back tonight!!

http://www.superhiro.org

You should name your katana "timeslayer". I drew a manga called "Mato: Adventures in Time". He had a sword called timeslayer but it was more like that of King Aruther's.

hello I call yann and I am French

I like much the series Heroes and Hiro is the best character of
the series and I am impacient to follow the continuation of his aventure

congratulation for your blog and soon...

yann

Hi Hiro.

*blush* first of all i posted this on the wrong blog inadvertantly and can't delete it. its on the "New York or Bust" one. sumimasen.

What that waitress told you was true, i hope it built your confidence. And i'm sorry you had to learn the hard way that you couldn't save her or change the past.

I'm hardly an expert on hereos. But, I think you're on the right track. Of all the heroes you're encountering , your background in the traditional manga may have taught you more than you give yourself credit for. I like that you are honorable and "stick to your guns" as we in America say. Meaning, you stand up for what you believe in.

And on a lighter note, yes many of us here in the US do watch Miyazaki films. We are a bit angry that Disney got the deal for the domestic distribution right, fearing they will somehow alter the original meaning through releasing only dubbed versions. But I think Miyazaki was smart enough to make a clause that no one could change the orignal content. So die hard fans like me, can watch sub-titled versions of his masterpieces. I'd rather watch a Miyazaki work raw, no subtitles than a dub. I'm that much of a snob.

Not to slam my own countries voice actors, but even the best of them can't line up rhetoric that makes sense with the movements of the original animated character's mouths. Dubs just come off bad. Whiners who can't read and watch at the same time should practice. Its not that hard.

BTW, which Miyazaki film is your favorite, Hiro? Its a hard decision to pick one, for me at least. I loved "Hime Mononoke" but "Totoro" is such a classic and then came Howl and his Castle. Miyazaki is just too good to pick one! Its like asking me to pick my favorite Star Wars movie.

On the subject of Miyazaki, is there manga for any of his stuff? I used to do the US convention circuits, but can't now due to my health.

How are you feeding your anime fix in between being a hero? or do you even have time? It was pretty cool that some of Isaac's art including that Comic book you stole earlier on, was done in the manga style.

Oh well, I'll quit harrassing you with my anime addiction. You have more important things to do like saving the world.

Good luck. I'm super happy you get a sword, i think that is a weapon of honor, unlike a gun. And a dragon...i can't begin to express my jealousy about that.

Be safe, Hiro. When you're done saving the world maybe we can watch some Miyazaki flicks, and you can tell me what a dragon looks like up close. ... After all the cute girls and stuff throw themself at you that is.

once more sumimasen about the wrong post on the other blog...

~paperflowers

p.s. blueberry pie? doesn't that make your teeth purple? you should try boston creme or pecan pie ala mode if you get the chance. =)

Hiro-san! Don't be discouraged, there are Miyazaki fans in America, especially with the release of Howl's Moving Castle (what's the way to get Americans to watch something? Get Christian Bale to do a voice...). I love that you hold fast to Laputa -- it's been one of my favorites for ages.
You're possibly the first person I've ever heard of who is a fan of D&D, Final Fantasy, Star Trek, Miyazaki, X-Men, Back to the Future, Star Wars, and owns (and misses!) game systems. You officially rock.
Ja! ^^

I get the feeling you only mentioned Miyazaki because that's the one Japanese filmmaker most Americans will have heard of. Two-dimensional much?

Hello Hiro.
Perhaps you need some assistance on your road to future you.

Perhaps you should name your sword Musashi... Or heiho.
And hopefully the ancenstors will bless your endeavors.

Buddha go with you.

Hiro
You need to name the katana hiei after me cause that is the coolest name for a sword i even have a katana named hiei's blade. The pronunciation of hiei is he with a long a he-a. coolest name in the universe.theres nothing better than a cold katana in your hands after a long battle eh future HIro? but anyways keep up the good work im proud of you
biggest fan Hiei

日月刀is cool too...

go back in time and get grass cutter!! yeah.

sqsq

Can you actually use a bankai with your sword?

Hayao Miyazaki poons!
yay!
I

hello i think that the best name for your katana will be HINKEN, i thought about an old legend where the sword of justice will crush bad guys only when the pain and violence reach the sky.

The posts just keep getting better and better!

http://www.heroeswire.com

Name the sword Momiji.

Why don't you name your sword Ragnarok ? Sounds more apropriate for the possible grim times in the future. Or maybe Tizona, the sword of the Cid (the historical character).

Hiro, you are awesome...I love Miyazaki is awesome love all of his films, like Spirited Away has such great display of colors and Nassica rocks...oh and Howls Moving Castle is my all time favorite right now....My advice to you is to Meditate on your quest and balance out your power, realize that if you loose control and become irritated than your inner core dissipitates. The sword should be called anatake the dragon slayer..naturally..continue doing an excellent job..can't wait till you guys come back. Best Regards Marta Valentin

Shit eatting JAPS!!!

I have the perfect name. Destiny's Edge .... catchy n'est ce que pas ?

Hello Hiro,

I once wrote a story about a time mage as part of a collaborative fiction effort for a Final Fantasy fansite, the project was titled "Anime University" (long lost to the aether). The particular character had some abilities in common with the ones you claim.

He had the ability to "Return/Rewind" to a particular time, but had to have previously lived that time first, and only his "memory" of the future events was the difference. Your ability is more like Teleportation in four dimensions (three plus time), the "Return" label of Final Fantasy fame isn't quite accurate.

He also possessed "Time Freeze", though I think more akin to "Time Stop" of D&D. Consider that you aren't actually stopping time, just slowing it down (or speeding yourself up) greatly. If it had truly stopped, light wouldn't move and you would be unable to see.

The point of this is, you need to learn new time "spells":

Stop - You greatly slow time for an object or creature so that it appears to stop moving.
Remove - You stop time for an object or creature, causing it to CEASE to exist.
Unremove - You return time to an object or creature you previously removed it from, causing it to spring back into being, possibly weeks later.
Echo - You cut through the fabric of space-time to bring something from the past into the present. (Closely linked to the Unremove power)
Rewind - Like the Prince of Persia, you watch time unfold backwards until you see a point where you wish to start moving forwards again.

Stopping time (as per "remove", above), rather than slowing it an infinite amount, would be the ultimate pinnacle of your powers. To achieve that pinnacle, you would first need to learn to target things with your power other than yourself. Perhaps dropping a ball and learning to slow it without slowing anything else? You could learn to shape this ability, allowing you to create solid walls of slowed air that would be able to shield you from bullets, concussive blasts or anything that needs to pass through air.

I envision the complete scope of time powers thusly:

[-1]------0--------1-------2--------3-------4-------5--------6--------7--------8------9------10--
REVERSE_____SLOW____________________NORMAL_______________________FAST

10 - Time Freeze (you know this one)

07 - Haste (like Time Freeze)

05 - n/a (just normal speed)

03 - Slow (don't target yourself)

01 - Stop (is just very very very slow, and only directed at a small area)

00 - Remove (small area effect)

-1 - Return/Rewind (play time backwards, yourself included. Only remember differently)

Work back from 10, Hiro. You'll amaze yourself and whichever Heroes share your ideals.

*********************************************

Now that I've bored you long enough with time-manipulation theories, I'm going to give you a list of all the sword names I can find from all the games you mentioned, hopefully you will find it helpful. No, I don't think they're all genius names.

In the event that there's no post for a while: Merry Christmas and good luck.
Don't get yourself shot, nobody likes that.

-Matt!

Ahhh I jest shited my my self

I like to eat jiz and wipe it all over my face.

I like it in the poop shooter.

Get a life you fag!

i just thought - you'd need an insanely good katana to kill a dinosaur like Isaac painted you doing. Maybe you could get Micah to make one since his power is building stuff. [Micah is that kid you saved from the car]

Yeah, waffles are good.
If you're ever not busy saving the world and stuff, you should come by my house, maybe we could hang, haha.
maybe we could mess with people by freezing time and putting them in weird places. See ya, bro.

dude you should name your sword "mangetsu" or "ryusuke" or "三日月形の月"

Hey Hiro --- practice makes perfect, and I guess you should check out back issues of 9th Wonders : you never know what you might see ther !!! ;-)

And why don't you call it Dulcinea? it's a character from a spanish book called Don Quijote de la Mancha. By the way...>_

I just had a quick thought for the name of your katana should you ever find one. How about "Finger of God"?

Totoro will be forever a classic. YES we love Miyazaki films over here. They're so great. He has such a great imagination, and it transfers onto the screen very nicely, with every last detail just right in place.

btw, HI HIRO! rock on! =)

虛空之牙

Matsuyama Kaze

I think you should named ur sowrd " ZANGETSU "

I miss you, hiro

GO HIRO!!!!

I think you should name it after your grandfather that died of cancer, to honour his memory.

Well, i think something like "shin toki no" (hopefully this meens something like "the heart of the time" - but i don't know much about the japanese language) would be a nice name for your katana ...

Origato! This si the real Hiro. I finally got to a place where I can post from. I'd like to set a few things straight here:

First of all, this blog is being written by some pasty-faced litte intern at NBC who has never had a date outside of taking his mother to a school dance. This is not me. I would never sound like such a moron.

Secondly, Miyazaki SUCKS! This is anime for Americans. Serious sell-out stuff. Real Japanese people turn their nose up at this trash. Strictly for pathetic Japanese wanna-bes. Why would any self-respecting person refer to themselves as a Japanophile. Get lives people.

Thirdly, all of you dorks salivating over a katana, dreaming of rising out of your parents basement via some half-baked asinine Anime style fantasy... wake up in your parent's basement and peel the cheetos off of your fat disgusting faces... you're dreaming. All a Katana will do for you is make you a dork with a sword.

-Hiro

You freaking dorks.

Miyazaki is a genius, many americans love his work! Spirited Away is my favorite, followed closely by Princess Mononoke!

name it Haku!!!! The boy from SPirited Away!!! or the girly kid from Naruto...your choice!! come on you have to save the world!

Miyazaki rocks! ^_~ My favorite of his is "Spirited Away", but my brother likes "Castle in the Sky". (Yeah, I know I'm behind... X.x)

あらし (Tempest)

miyazaki kicks asssssss!!!!!!

is there a japanese word for excalibur?

cuz if there is you should name the sword time excalibur in japanese.

tha'd be cool!

what does sylar do with the brains, how dies he gain powers?

You should definately name the sword Charlie.

She will give you strength in battle and the will to fight on when all seems hopeless.

P.S.- If you like pancakes you should try "pigs-in-a-blanket"

1. Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes habbit. So if you practice perfect you'll have perfect habbit.
2.I have 2 katanas
3.You should name it HERO!
4.U R DA BOMB HIRO WITH OUT U THE SHOW WOULD BE A DISASTER!

1. Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes habbit. So if you practice perfect you'll have perfect habbit.
2.I have 2 katanas
3.You should name it HERO!

ヒロさん！　スッパー　ヒロ！！！　　
(\ /)
( . . )
c( " )( " )
うさぎ　は　みますか？

がんばって　ヒロさん！　You should SO get that katana~! Go japanese on bad people =D

Hello Hiro!! You are the man! Please call your blade Zanpaktou ;)

You should name it the Wado Ichimongi lol.

Go Hiro~! you're the best character in the entire show.

Miyazaki is the greatest, and a Katana would make you a regular Mifune, just less scruffy. You should name the blade Regret, or a Japanese word of similar meaning. A tool of last resort, and reminder of things that cannot be changed or forgotten. Syler will get what's coming to him!

hiro u kick but your superhero name should be clock or time bender or sometthing cdool like that.

I think you should call your sword: Yachi Sato or maybe Midori Tokudaiji

Hiro,
First off, you are the greatest character of all time... ever.

Secondly, are we going to get to see you take on a t-rex?

Third: an idea for the swords name should be the Japanese translation of "time bender".

Your friend,
Steve

i love Miyazaki films my faviorate is howls moving castle

in response to an old post by Karrde712. i would like to point out some names that can benefit hiro's naming by using one word that is grandiose and a sword action technique. since Karrde712 wants to westernize hiro's sword i would like to suggest...

the shatner shatterer
the vulcan mind slice
the hamill hammer
charlies angel
the darth razor
the nintendo wii

Yeah! Call it Charlie!

*chants*

CHAR-LIE! CHAR-LIE! CHAR-LIE!

I watch Miyazaki film my favorite is Spirited Away. Your the coolest person in Heros to me.

name it the z sword lol >

I think you should name your blade Serenity.

Keep practicing. We need you.

Hiro:
Time and space are essences that are relative to everything we know. To control them means that you can cause ripples in time, like in a pond, that extend beyond our time. Not only they are somewhat difficult to understand, they are mysterious by nature. So mysterious, that not even science has been able to cope with them properly. Nature, evolution, and God selected you as the one that could handle this responsibility. Now, do not despair and keep your mind focus in the goal. I believe that you will be able to do great things that generations to come will talk about with pride. Just keep your intentions true, noble and honorable. In addition, Hiro, Honor is the most important quality on a real Hero...

As for naming your sword, I will say this... the sword is an extension of a warrior's soul, an extension of their body and a reflection of their personality. I will suggest a name that goes with your ability and your personality... Eternal Charlie in Japanese would be a good name. No matter where your power takes you, time and space have no boundaries for you, thus the Eternal part of the name. Now I do not think that I need to explain Charlie, except that she always is with you and that she is part of you.

Good luck my friend. Moreover remember this, be true to yourself.
May the Force be with you... Always. :)

Fipe Naz-Mero, JK

Name it Sylar

you should name it after charlie. like either name it charlie, although i like sword names that sound more like titles.
how about lost love

it also think you should name your sword Charlie

Ahh~! Miyazaki movies are the best! I used to watch Nausicaa a lot when I was little. But I think you should totally go for a katana, and you could be a samurai. Maybe one as awesome as Auron?

Either way, I have faith in you, Hiro-san!

　 _ 　∩
(　>∀ 　⊂彡

Ryuutarou is defininately the best name for the sword let the Dragon's Son (Ryoutarou) slay the dragon itself.

Yes some Americans know of Miyazaki films. I have most of them though Castle in the Sky in by far my favorite as well! :-D Miyazaki is becoming well known enough that "Howl's Moving Castle" got some big screen play. :-)

yukiyake
「雪焼け」
best sword name ever.

To Hiro,

You should name your Katana Harusame: Spring Rain,
if you've watched and or read Shaman King then you know it's true signifagince (sp), i'm glad you met up with Issac at last and do not fret about your failure becuese Hero or not we all fail it is part of being human. And being human means that your still you.

Good Luck Hiro Nakamura,
May all your efforts came to fruitation.

Personally, I love Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle the best. Anyways, keep up the good work Hiro!

Regarding American diners: BEWARE OF WAFFLE HOUSE. If you see one, run the other way. Scary places.

As for Miyazaki films, I prefer Nausicaa. My favorite anime in general is Le Portrait de Petit Cossette. Very artsy, makes one think, and the visuals are stunning.

Ganbatte, Hiro-kun! Ai o shiteru yo! Katana wa "Usagi-Chan" o nazukeru, ne? Romaji o ayamaru... Nihongo no kenban o kibo-. Watashi o E-mail, onegai shimasu? Jikan no soru o renshu- suru yo! (^3^)

No Hiro for six weeks! What will we do???!

http://www.superhiro.org

Nakamura-san, I think you should name your sword 折る永遠 (Folding Eternity) because I think it is a cool name xD
I hope you do too.

I wish you well on your quest~!

ヒロちゃんー
質問で〜す！
時差ぼけとか問題ないでしょうか？
ヨロシコね〜ッ

Love the show, and I have a suspicion that Hiro will be the crucial hero to the story. Everyone is focusing on the cheerleader (and who wouldn't?!?), but Hiro is the glue. I also wonder what events in his time travels cause him to undergo such a transformation from the sweet bumbling office worker, to the sword wielding hero in black we see on the subway. That could be a series of its own, the origins of Hiro's transformation. Masamune did rock, but in Cloud's hands it was nothing special. Remember Cloud was the hero.

I think that the moment you receive the sword, you'll know its name. (By the way, I like swords with people-ish names myself, but Jikuutou is rather cool.)

HIRO NAKAMURA IS THE SICKEST

YOOHOOOOOOOO

if i was u...
i could name it Northernlight

or name it charlie mayb~=__,=

u sould name your sword either charlie, in remberance of her or name it 荒いののダイヤモンド, diamond in the rough, because isn't that what all heroes really are?

You should name your sword Shunketsu! It's Japanese for hero!

Kouun!

Yeah, name it "Vengeance of Charlie" or something like that preferrably in japanese. I liked that idea. But I still think the right Wakizashi is the way for you to go - it's more versatile. You don't wanna be stuck in a nook of time with a katana that you don't have room to use cause it's too long mate, take it from me.

You know, when you visit the past it's like when you jump out of the water where you are swimming. When you go back you make a BIG splash based on what you did up there so be careful what you do allright?
Cya

PSP? Bah, humbug. Be like your obviously-much-cooler-than-you Japanese friends and buy a DS.

Hiro you rock!!! If the heroes have these special powers due to some type of tumor or something in the brain, does this mean you have one too? Why didn't Charlie know that you gave her the book? Since Peter can temporarally absorb the powers of others, is he the one who will stop the bomb from exploding and save the world? He would need the cheerleader, the radioactive man, Nikki's husband, and his brother to pull it off probably... Is that why you came to him in the subway? Are the two marks on some of the heroes necks some kind of tracking device or something put there by Claires father? Don't let him get a hold of you Hiro, I don't trust him, he is a lot more than just a over protective father. What agency for the government does he work for anyway? The katana is an awsome weapon, I am a collector of them and I will let you use one of mine no problem! Just promise me that you will give Sylar an attitude adjustment with it! Ha, Ha. As far as a name goes I am sure you will find one that is approperiate. I love movies too... have you ever seen Duel to the Death? It is one of the best. So many questions, and so long to wait for answers. 1 more episode then 6 weeks! Well best of luck to you Hiro-san, we can't wait to see what happens next!!

I can't believe that I haven't come here yet. I

Jikuuto? How about... Kira? That might be too harsh (Ki-la = Killer) Or Kuro? Hehe... Maybe Shiro!

If any of you guys have not tried it, you ABSOLUTELY MUST try an Alaskan waffle. The gods must have invented the Alaskan waffle! ... Does that mean the gods are from Alaska?

Episode 62: Hiro meets Kami-sama in Alaska. (^o^)

How's about...恐竜の殺害者

Come on Hiro! You can't name it Masamune, that's Frog's weapon.

You could name it the Rainbow sword, but then if you ever get a better sword, you'd be out of names. Just don't go stealing Frog's weapon names.

I dont see why you name a sword, unless u plan on talking to it often?

But if you must name the sword, name it Charlie.

Love has no limit, she is gone but not forgotten.

Name the katana after Charlie.

hiro is my favorite character. This blog makes him sound like a rambling idiot.

Hiro's grammar is corrected here by translation software.

http://www.superhiro.org

Ummm i thought you were Japanese...and on the show you don't have that good grammar (no offense). So how come you have perfect grammar here?

I think good name for you sword would be "Kirahebi" but thats just me.

P.S. Love the Journey for once your there you can't go back. Well i guess you can can't you.

>=3

hiro you're so adorable!
C('.'C)

hiro rocks! u re a comic character, powerful and good

keep rockin

this is weird.
how come people from china are able to watch "Heroes?"

pirate copies always!!!
what a country..

Oi, Hiro-san! Watashi no namae wa Yakubi-chan desu! Yoroshiku! Heh, amari nihongo ga hanasemasen. Gomen. By the way, you should totally name your future sword masamune! Shephiroth is the best! Hehe :P And about the Myazaki films, they are the best too! Personaly I like the one with the talking animals... I can't think of the name! Yakubi no baka! Heh, but I really can't stand watching them in english, their voices bug the crap out of me! I think you are my favorite hero though, to be able to conterol time would be so cool! That skill would be really handy in school. I could stop time on a test and go get a drink! Though it would be a bit of a selfish way to use power, but as long as you don't hurt anybody or break the rules I think it's fine. But you should always follow your morals, even if other people say it is right, trust your self! Oh, but what happened with you and Charlie! And she even said she loved you! And not in the 'daisuke!' fashion but full out lean-in-for-a-kiss-I-love-you way! Awh! wanted to scream! Stupid Sylar! It's not his job to fix things! All humans are a little broke in the head, it's our individuality! Baka, baka, baka, baka! Cono teme! Arg! I hate that psycho!
(I bit later)
Well, anyhow, good luck saving the world. And remember, you've got thousands of people cheerin' for you.

*~Yakubi~*

P.S.- Sayonara, Hiro-kun. Kanpai!
Save the Cheerleader, Save the world! But don't forget to save yourself along the way. Do not forget yourself in all this chaos!

Hiro;

The more I think of it, the more it comes back to one thing. Frog, it's all about Frog. Honor, Courage, Morality, Courtesy, Honesty, Loyalty, and Virtue. These are the characteristics of a Hero. That's the groove, I think.

In that line of thought, might I reccomend a song for you? It's by GrayLightning, on the Overclocked Remix site, it's called Sacratus Bellator, which is Latin for Holy Warrior.

http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01288/

Take a listen Hiro, it's good stuff. It's a perfect theme song for you.

One more thing. If you ever find the time... ;) check my hometown's future. If anything ever happens to my wife, or my kids, I wanna know, so I can be their hero.

What is the japanese word for Justice? You should name it that. After all, that is what a true Hero fights for. Truth and justice.

I think your swords name should be after Okita Soji's sword Kikuichi-monji, well if you believe he weilded the Kikuichi-monji. A bit long but you could just call it Kikuichi. I also have another Katana's name from a dungeons and dragons character I played Caphivor. Its an Elven name.

Oh and yes, some of us do watch Miyazaki films, my favorit is also castle in the sky. ^_^ Do you also watch Rurouni Kenshin, or Peacemaker Kuragone? I just finished watching D.N.Angel. I was wondering can you suggest some other anime that aren't out in America yet? I really love anime, but every monday I am watching and cheering on the Hiro, I mean Hero. ^_^ But just remember one thing. Hero's live as the world should be, to show the world what it can be.

Laith

P.S.
I own 22 swords. But there is only one that I truly care for, it was a present from someone dear. It is a Katana. Oh and one more addition if I may? What sword style do you want to learn? I think Tennen Rishin Ryu might be good, thats the style I hope to learn. ^_^

I think the sword should be named Trunks

Hey Psylocke, the script writers are really bad with the time travel thing, which is why when you put the two episodes together nothing makes sense. By the way, why is everyone commenting on this blog going back to naming Hiro's sword? It's old news!

Call it either "9th wonders" or "Genesis"

Good luck on your journey. I think blueberry waffles are the best too. I might have to have some tomorrow.

Dear Hiro,

Your adventures and innocence always make me laugh and smile. You should really transport yourself back to ancient Japan to learn from real samuri masters, then on top of your special powers you will be a master swordsman!

Hiro I'm sorry that you couldn't save the girl, but I have a question...how come she didn't recognize you when you first came into the diner before you teleported to the past and tried to save her. You may not have known her at the time, but she should have known who you were if she meet you 6 months ago. I'm confused, can you help me understand.

Hiro, you rock dude. Go save the world =D! we're counting on you!

Hiro, you rock dude. Go save the world =D! we're counting on you!

HEROS很好看啊...加油

hi hiro,hope you can stop the process of nuclear booming with your friends~

I love Miyazaki, but personally I like Isao Takahata better. ;) And lawful good, eh? Neutral good's better -- less pesky alignment restrictions. ;)

Good luck, Hiro! You're my hero.

sorry about the girl, unless there exists alternate universes, your knowldge in the future will prevent you from chaning the past.
love the show

hiro (: you are cool !

blueberry is good. love the show!

Hiro!
I'm sorry for your recent loss man, I'm surprised you took it the way you did. Honestly, I wouldn't know how the hell to deal with such a loss. I was really happy for you. Still, I really admire what you did, you have the heart of a hiro inside you. As for your future katana, I suggest you name it the Chrono Blade, or whatever that translates to in Japanese (I couldn't find a translation) since your future self is like Chrono: zipping through time wielding a sword. Name it either that or Charlie... Good Luck in your quest. I hope you save the world man cause I'm really enjoying the Wii and want to keep enjoying it for a long time. See ya!

Josh

Hiro,

You are the friggin' man!
Keep up the good fight man, a true hero never gives up! SAIKYOU GUTSY!

Also, don't think I haven't noticed how you've strategically placed Mazinger toys all over the place! Bad @$$, dude! Mecha for life! *_*

Ahem.

Anyway, good job, man.

Sword Names:

1.) Seiginoken
2.) Isoukuukan

hi i'm come from china.it's so great watch this play through internet.
加油啊,把更好的剧集带给我们.

Hiro, what will we do for 6 weeks without you?!?

http://www.superhiro.org

Sorry about the girl ... sorry about Charly ... Bummer man...

Dammit Hiro! You have to try to save Charlie again!

Hiya, Hiro!

Look...don't worry about Charlie, 'kay? I know you loved her and everything, but think this: You gave her something to be happy about before it was her time to pass on. She's safe and watching over you.

I really needed to get that off my chest...phew, feels great.

Later, Hiro-kun!

hey i can't not believe that u can stop time but when that diner women had died u wasn't there to stop it because i was watching it because when u had went in the bathroom then she had heard something and stuff and then she had fell on the floor but u know monday u had got lost back in time when u had told your brother when u had went back to the time to save her well that was nice k hey g2g k bye

i think you should name it sora.... haha so simple and have a inference to kingdom hearts

-_-

So good to hear that you like Miyazaki films. My favorite is Laputa as well although I love them all.

The katana is such a beautiful weapon, so uniquely Japanese...I wish you success at mastering it. Hey, you could time-travel & get the secret of Damascus steel, and have a really incredible sword forged, and....er, okay, I have been reading WAAAY too much Gunmn. In any event I think you will treat it with the honor it deserves.

P.S. Somehow I can't seem to write Charlie off completely. I think she has a role to play yet.

P.P.S. Try International House of Pancake's Belgian waffles. Positively sublime.

this is bizarre...

Hi~

I love Miyazaki movies too! My favourite is Warriors of the Wind (Nausicaa)! I also think you should name ur katana with a defensive name, and it would be really cool if you forged it urself :P

Look forward to seeing more of you, ur one of my favourite characters!

OOHHHH PLEASE! Name it MASAMUNE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE >_

期待后面的～～～～～～～～

As far as I know, it either means 'bamboo blade' or 'Axis blade'... I mistyped mine though.. Should have been 間救の刀(Kankyuunotou).

Does "jikuutou" mean time-space servant? Cause if so I guess that suits you.

I think I figured out the perfect name for your sword; 刀の間救(Tounokankyuu) or [i]Blade of Time's Salvation[/i]. I hope you like it.

Names for the Katana...
Shouri (the administration of justice) Kyuusai, help, or Koneko (kitten, in honor of Kitty Pryde!).

You plan on getting a wakizashi too?

Hiro, I believe you should name your sword "jikoku-kesshi".

I love you Hiro!! You're my favorite character by far! I was so sad that you couldn't prevent Charlie's death T_T. You guys make a great couple i think. Well, gambatte ne? I can't wait to see you in the next episode! Matta!

[i]hey Masi,
just wanted to say thanks for giving iran some props in your video (totally random, but appreciated)[/i]

Which video did he do that? I'm half Persian so I must know :P

Oh! And one other thing, Hiro. If you are ever in the South, don't forget to go to Waffle House restaurants. All the waffles you could ever want to eat.

Hiro, while I do agree with you that a sword is very cool, I must ask that you consider a few things about it. Firstly, you must consider how many actual super heroes out there use weapons. Batman abhors the use of violence. Superman doesn't need weapons. Spider-Man doesn't use them. If you do choose to get a weapon, that weapon should be used only for defense, never for attack. A true hero seeks to preserve all life, even that of his enemy. Violence and aggression make you like that which you strive to oppose. If you do decide to get a sword, consider carefully the consequences before you draw it. When you have a weapon, the temptation to use it can be overwhelming, but always respond with an appropriate amount of force.

As for names, I think you should choose something that represents your desire to protect rather than to fight. Jikuu no Hogosha, perhaps -- Time's Defender -- because that's what you are, and such a sword would be an extension of your will. But like Spider-Man and Batman, a super hero generally forges their own weapon. It's not just something you can buy at the store. How will you forge yours?

Take care. I know you'll do the right thing!

Gabriel.

Oh yeah you should totally get a katana. It definately fits you. If I had to pick a name for a katana, I would call it Kenshin.

As for Miyazaki's films, I don't know too many Americans who watch Miyazaki films, but I do. My favorite is Spirited Away but I still have much love for everything else he's done.

I think a Katana is the PERFECT thing for you. I also believe that any great sword deserves a name, and whatever you choose will be what it's meant to be. Just be careful. Not all good comes from weapons... However, use it correctly and you could go farther than you ever dreamed. Good luck with everything!

Dude, this is America. Do you know how many restaurants could possibly be in between where you are and NYC? I already lost count in the thousands but if you can get a good estimate, let me know.
Good job with the time stopping. And you are 100 percent right about 'practice makes perfect.' Right on! I think I may know who you saved in the car accident. I'm not completely sure because I missed an episode. If it's Nikki (Jessica) Sanders, DL Hawkins, and their son Micah Sanders, than I was right. If not, I'll kick myself for missing the 7th episode.

Damn, it is sad that u didn't get to be w/ that red head girl for long & how she had a tumor, u two make a sweet couple.

You know, you said you loved Charile, how about name it after your dinner freind. That way she can always be with you.

Well, will you look at that. Hiro posted to his blog in the past and now it is showing up here. Hiro *can* change the past.

How does this affect the timeline? Shouldn't Hiro now have memories of that initial post before he started on this journey?

"Hiro": now that's a great name for a hero!

Well anyway, I don't know if you've watched Rurouni Kenshin, but he has a reverse blade sword (I don't remember if he named it), but you could name your katana something to that effect. A sword that is meant to protect and not meant to kill (even though it can). Anyway, hope all goes well.

remember me you nerds

Ohh, yea, I could only wacth one Miyazaki movie, Spirited Away, and loved it so much, that I`m looking foward to see other productions :D

Ka-chow, I loved this movie. Route 66, yay :D

Name of the blade, if it is significant, then it needs a name. Also when you use a weapon like that, usually its to kill. If you have a sword be prepared to use it, and all that implies.

Hello Hiro!
I was wondering, did you ever play city of heros? and if so, do you remember what you can do if you can teleport? If you just make short hops, you can effectively FLY!

Just thought that might be a novel use of your powers.

lol, you should hack your PSP Hiro, play some Super Nintendo games on it. Remember if anyone tries to kill you just stop time and beat the crap out of them, and trust me someone is eventually going to try to kill you.

(^>^) why dont u name it
( the lions heart )

Possibly name the sword the Honor Sword of Oka?

'Azmyth' sounds great for a Katana! ;P

i think you should give it a american name and a japanese name. Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross maybe.

or Nihon-jin

hey Masi,
just wanted to say thanks for giving iran some props in your video (totally random, but appreciated)

also, just wanted to say I love the work you do. happened to catch you on reno 911 briefly and i thought it was one of the funniest scenes.
keep up the great work man!

Konichi Wa Hiro! You should name your katana "Hiromitsu". According to wikipedia.com, he was a swordsmith in the 14th century Japan, and was a pupil of the great Masamune. Just a thought ... ;)

Since you like DBZ and end up with the whole "Future Trunks Look" (which I very much approve), I am unsure if you NEED a heroic name (for either you or your sword). After all, being named Hiro after Hiroshima makes you powerful enough. Of all things, I am sure that everything will work out for you. Be strong, you seem to be the only one who knows the gravity of being a true hero.

As a side-note, I have to find out if I am on that list.

Sorry I forgot about the name of the Katana... What about 失恋チャーリー (Heartbreak Charlie)?

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks La Diable for your observation. I was wondering where that post went. :D

I suspect you will find your sword in episode 11.

http://www.superhiro.org

On the topic of hero first enetering the Burnt Toast Cafe -

let say the Haitian does wipe her (Charlie) memory - he would then also have to wipe the memory of everyone else working in the diner ...

If you have a chance get a muramasa. cusred swods rule
loved the show

Miyazaki did Nausica or no? Still it' one of my favorites. I think a perfect name for the Katana should be Murasame instead of Masamune.

Miyazaki did Nausica or no? Still it' one of my favorites. I think a perfect name for the Katana should be Murasame instead of Masamune.

The other blog post about Charlie wasn't wiped, guys, it's just at the beginning where it belongs. You know, because he made it in the past.

Deja vu?

I think if Jawas were anywhere it'd be Montana... o0 I dunno why, but probably...

I love Miyazaki's movies! Though I prefer Totoro to Laputa

I don't know much about naming weaponry...what about Jiro XD or GekiGangar! Or Chuck!

Waffles are great and all, but pancakes totally pwn! Look for an IHOP if you can!

PS
since Ando doesn't have powers, maybe you should get him a utility belt? XD Like Batman!
:O Oh! Do you have any American money? Have you noticed how much heavier it is than yen?

Hello hiro!

you're my fav charater!
I love Miyazki films thier are so cool!But the only movie I have is Howl's moving castle(sighed).

But any way you're cool on my list.

I am such a dope...:p...I meant, Oyasuminasai! (=^w^=)

u could get a katana...but even better would be a GUNBLADE!

Konnichiwa Hiro!!! You are my favorite character on Heroes! I think you're kawaii too. :3 ^_^ Oh and about that Katana I like both names...Also, I like Miyazaki films too. My favorite movie is "Princess Mononoke". It's great that you have improved on your abilities, gannbatte(is that right?).
Your friend,
RIVAA ASHURII~ :p (P.S That's as close as I could get to my last name, lol)

bugger the sword. get a chainsaw.

or better yet team up with godzilla. yea! goji could save the world no problem. god knows he has countless times before.

best of luck man.

i say skip the sword. get a chainsaw. much louder and meaner.

or team up with godzilla. yea! goji could help you save the world no problem.

bugger the sword. get a chainsaw.

or better yet team up with godzilla. yea! goji could save the world no problem. god knows he has countless times before.

best of luck man.

Iron Cutting Sword (斬鉄剣)!
It has to be that!

So what about Hero going into the future to change the past. I like Charlie. I think Hero will save her somehow.

Let a H.S student answer your question, Daavid. Just like I said in the last blog (before it got WIPED) the script writers are really bad at writing a storyline with a time traveling character. They just don't understand the works of time travel. There's no way that Charlie could get a Japanese phrase book from anyone else on her birthday besides Hiro, hence she would recognize Hiro six months later. If you think about things in general, the scriptwriters messed up the whole thing and created a paradox. Either that or The Haitian wiped her memory of Hiro (which I doubt. I'm a down-to-ground literal sensed guy, and the Haitian makes no sense in this particular case.) Oh well. They still drove their point home with that sad episode.

こんにちは！
オートバイのことで、”時空刀”のほうが良いと思います。
英語でなんか、The Blade of Time and Spaceでしょうね。
凄い！広さんと良く似合いますよ！
ゴーゴー広！！！（＾－＾）
Katanaを楽しんでね！

宮崎駿の映画が大好き！
一番好きのは「火乗るの墓」です。
他のスタジオジブリの映画とかなり違いますけど、大切なメッセージがありますからね。ちょっと広さんの家族のことようですね。そのあとは「千と千尋の神隠し」(アメリカでは"Spirited Away").

（ところで、”渡五郎”と言うキャラクター知ってる？
彼もミュータント。
７０年代の特撮ヒーローの自由の戦士イナズマンです。
ま、イナズマンは広さんが生まれた前にでしょうね。）

では。。。"チョウリキショウライ！"
五郎。

Tonari no Totoro is my daughters favorite! Go Nekobasu! Sorry about Charlie. :(

We are all rooting for you. Doctor Samurai! Keep the Bushido in your heart!

yo tambien tengo un poder, saludos.

Allright. So here's a question. Why doesn't Charlie recognize Hiro when Hiro first meets her the day she dies? I thought at first it might be because the writers are going with the version of time-travel in which the act of travelling back does the changing, and thus, Charlie hadn't met Hiro in the past until we see Hiro jump. But Charlie tells Hiro that she got a Japanese phrasebook for her birthday six months ago *before* Hiro jumps, and that's just what Hiro gives her in the past. Hence Charlie had already met Hiro when Hiro first meets her. Hence Charlie should recognize him. Oh, well.

Hiro,

Think of your powers being exactly like the time traveling abilities in Final Fantasy 8. Laguna could go back in time and interact, but he could not save Raine. But he did win her love.

Your Katana is a reflection of your soul. I suggest you name it
Wait. Wa in chinese means balance something a good sword and person needs." Balance it" may be your dao. You might name it StormBringer in Japanese as I believe your alchemical sign is Water.

Ohayo Hiro!

You are so kawaii! And super cool! If you wanted to name your sword something...name it after Sephiroth's sword from FFVII...

Laputa Castle in the Sky...I watch Miyazaki Films! My favorite is Spirited Away.

Don't be down on yourself about Charlie, either. Keep being a good hero, Hiro!

Love,
CC

Hiro,Should name his katana Charlie,after the girl he loved ,the girl he lost.

Hey! What happened to all the Charlie-related blog entries!?!?!? Come on! I thought Hiro would post something downcast or sad or something! The last episode really was sad. Huh..I wish I had come as close as he did to a chance to have a girl...

Miyazaki films are amazing, so some American's watch them, my personal favorite is Nausicaa. A katana is a good choice and giving it a unique name is essental. Good luck with your jourey!

Yeah, I'm not using a very heroic name for the Heroic Hiro's site. Maybe I'm supposed to be the Magus of this site or something? ;p Anyway, maybe you should name the sword after your grandfather. He is part of why you've decided to use your powers for good, right?

多分あなたの剣を詩的で、美しい何かと示しなさい。 私は使用将来戦いのためのそれ考えない。 それを運ぶところでちょうど注意しなさい。ある場所は公衆の武器にwelllを持って行かない。 私はチャーリーについて聞いて残念である。 しかし私は嬉しい見つけた愛を。 1時すべてを頼むことができるである。 私は発見それHiroいつの日か再度望む。 幸運

雷神 or 雷悪魔 would be my vote... great names i prefer the romanji form of the later goes something like this RaiAkuMa...

magnus,
master of causality

"FATTO! FATTO!"

Hiro, you crack me up.

http://www.superhiro.org

Hey Hiro. Interesting adventures you've been having. Its great to hear you did a good deed. The world needs more heroes, especally of the super varity. As a for a name for a Katana, how about nameing it for a virtue. Like Justice, Mercy, Valor or soemthing like that. If such sounds cool in Japanese the definatly go with it. Keep up the good work.

PS. The dinner's may have the option but it your choice of food that decided wether you gain afew kilo's or no.

Oh yeah, blueberry waffles are the best. And the best sword is the katana.

Youll get the hang of your powers soon. Have fun!

Still haven't figured out how to use those html tags have you Nergal! Anywho those are possibly the stupidest names I have ever hear. Can't you think of nothing better for Hiro here?

I say you need something heroic sounding. None of this foo-foo feeling crud. Get a name for your sword with grit! Something with teeth!

yaoooh!

Well he sure told you Limos, you always have the worst suggestions. I personally hold to naming it in the tradition of video games and movies alike.

[i]Soulstealer
Dreamcrusher
Stormcutter
heartsbane[/i]

Now those are some names with character.

-{Nergal}-

touketsu arashi
Frozen Tempest

Hiro,

Remember, use you powers for the good of mankind. Remember what you read on superman. Also, remember, you can't save everyone even though you can travel backwards and forwards in time. Some people are meant to die as it's their time. Go and meet the others in New York and save the cheerleader from being murdered, then, save the world.
No on ever said being a Super Hero was ever going to be easy.

Your friend,

WhiteSnowWolf

Sorry Limos but I have to step in. Naming his sword after a god is just arrogant. It should be meaningful, not just something you found on Google. Wait till the right name comes to you Hiro.

Thanatos

Yay Katana, \(^.^)/ you should name it Dosojin, god of roads to represent your journey. That one has a nice ring to it.

If not you could go with Amida or Thanatos. Both are gods of death, good names for swords.

I also found Shoki, the god of justice. As a hero justice is a good thing to represent. (though I think that one is Chinese, not Japanese. I just went on Google to look for names.)

But maybe you should just find a name that suits how you get it. Future you hasn't told you how you get it yet. It might be important.

Well whatever you name it I'm sure it will be awesome.

~Limos

Hiro, you'd better come back!!

Hiro,

I hope you can save the waitress, but if you can't just know that she had a destiny too. And part of that destiny might have been to help you farther along the road with yours.

Even Superman can't save everybody.

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

No Jawas... now that made me laugh! And hell, yes, Americans watch Miyazaki films.
Keep up the good work, Hiro.

Masamune would be quite the perfect name for your sword. It's right up there with other great sword names such as Excalibur and Cortana.

Hiro is the best, You Rock!!
hope you save the waitress and of course save Claire.

dude, u are my favorite character, hilarious....and keeping with the idea of heros and legends your sword's name should be original, but you have to earn your sword, u have to travel to find a mystical lost blade called excalibur....then you should melt it down and recaste it into a katana blade...that would be cool.

What if he loves her so much he doesn't come back?

Miyazaki films rock. Here are great sword names:
Kutone
Kusanagi
Orochi (though, its evil so the others may be better)
Goldnail (same ^^^)
Golden Furry
Blue Spirit

Please pick one and read this post. And to others who say "blah this is stupid, he is an actor." Did you ever think this could be the actor who plays Hiro? He is still a person. Oh, and do watch avatar the last airbender? have you seen Samurai Jack or Megas XLR? Those are great

Save the waitress, save the world?

Name the katana Mugen!
Don't ask.
Anyway, I think you're adorable! Save the cheerleader! Ganbatte!

^_~ Tyger

What was up with that picture? What happend to you are you alright???

i hope you save the diner girl and come back alright!

I think you are so cute ^_^! Also I think your gift is so awesome.

I love those movies! But really- (0_0) What happened to you!? Are you alive?! Ya gotta tell me! Did you save her? Or did cause a rift and you had to change everything back? Is this too many qustions?

Doma Yuset
The wanna be hero

I have some suggestions for the name of your sword:

大きい缶切り
私は剃っている自分自身を切った
握りこぶしを搭載する立場
それの為がほしいと思うか。

Fell free to pick one.

OMG Its Hiro! You are my favorite of all of the "special" people so far :D I Love Miyazaki Films :) I think Princess Mononoke is my favorite so far. You with a katana would be so awesome :) Even cooler inf you had some sort of dragon design on the blade :D I want to learn Japanese someday. Do you have any tips? Well, I guess I'll stop bugging you ;) lol

Bye, keep up the good work
Jen

Hiro, you must save Charlie!!

http://www.superhiro.com

hiro,

you have to be my favorite hero of all time, and anyone who loveo Crono as much as you do, is #1 in my book! the sword name? Well, Masamune was frogs sword, and you'd have to have the hero medal to use it anyways. maybe you could call it the rainbowsword, after Crono's most powerful weapon, or mayeb Murasame, the masamune's sister blade. maybe you should tell everyone who knows about your powers to ask future you what you named it? if they happen to see him/you. I worry about Ando though, as he may not be able to protect himself. i hope you can do a good job of making sure he's safe! or maybe you could name your sword Hero. i think it's fitting!

and i wouldn't worry too much about finding the cheerleader. if you came from the future to tell peter about it, there must be a future! so in a way you've already won! but don't get lazy, make sure you are doing all the right things, and working hard! just know that destiny is on your side, and you will find what you're looking for!

cool program

ヒロくん！今日も、世界をてつだってありがとうございました。

私はＭｉｙａｚａｋｉの映画を見たことかあります。アメリカ人の子供には、その映画は人気かないんです。

じゃ、ヒロくん、頑張ってください。みんなのために、頑張ってください。

Hiro! Your're sweet!

http://www.superhiro.org

Dear Hiro,

You are so awesome!
You are probley the on the top of my favorite people list!
And I think it was so brave of you to save TWO PEOPLE!
Practice your powers, and you could be AMAZING!

-Ali (>'_')>

I think you should grow out your hair in the future, and wield not just a katana but some throwing stars as well. It just might come in handy. Also the name, I think you should give you're sword, should be 期待, or this version 希望- meaning HOPE, so that when you're on a dark path, you'll always have your trusty katana at your side guiding and giving you hope during the most dangerous of times. Also, for every person you meet, there may lie a secret not seen. Be weary of those who come near you, and welcome those who don't because they might also be just as SPECIAL as you.

Your loyal friend and admirer,
Marq Quinn (;b)

Masamune? NO! Unless it's Auron's Masamune, which is a super-yes.

No Aerith stabbing!

Good job on the time freeze, though! That was fantastic!

Oooh, and I love Laputa! I liked Spirited Away (can't remember the Japanese title) more, though. Mononoke-hime was good, too.

Great job, Hiro! I'm so proud of you ^0^ I'm sure that the people you rescued would have thanked you if they had the chance.

There are a lot of gyms here in America. You could build up your strength there! And definitely get a katana. That would be perfect!

Miyazaki films are very popular here; I've seen almost all of them, myself. He's a genius ^^

Best of luck, Hiro! And try the Strawberry pancakes, too.

Ah you bring up a good point about the tall black guy. The fact that he's not as pleased with your company could mean he's got something to hide. When you basically save someone's life and they avoid you, it's time to really question THEIR motives rather than your own. You are on the right path. Keep trusting your instincts and try to get to know more about that boy. He could be the key to your next path.
Also, the training idea suggested by Mlgonza is a good consideration. Just avoid using those powers in public unless it's either an emergency or until you've gained more control over them.

To me, it sounds like you'd love The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. You should watch it. It was very popular in Japan earlier this year, no?

Hiro, only 31 minutes!

http://www.superhiro.org

its cool how your name is hiro, and the show is called heroes. your name is actually what you are. "destiny", huh?

Hello Hiro-san!

See? You were able to do a good deed; and this time you were prepared.

As for your take on the fact that being a hero is a thankless job. Well...that's true. But you do it for the sake of doing a good deed, ne?

Also, yes, 9th Wonders is a comic book, to answer your question, Hiro-san.

And...yes! Most defiantly you should name your katana! I like the names you're thinking about, but I hope you don't mind too much if I suggest some more.

Kaigaishii
Yuusou
L
Raito
Sozo (after Sagara Sozo)
Also, since you like Miyazaki so much, you could name it Howl (or Howell as it was in the book), from Howl's Moving Castle.

Glad you like waffles so much! Aren't they just great? ^__^

I wish you the best of luck on your journey, Hiro-san!

Izumi-chan.

P.S. Isn't Miyazaki wonderful? I love his films!

Hiro is number one! Keep it up Hiro, you'll be a key factor into saving the world! Also, has anyone mentioned sword name Murasame? Oh well. I like Zanji-tou (cutting time). Good luck!

There is a man in New York City who generates radiation. He must be stopped somehow. I believe the future explosion is caused by an attempt to stop him. Anyone who gets too close to him will be burned to death -- except the cheerleader. She has mutant healing abilities like Wolverine. She is the only one who can stop the man from exploding. She is the key to saving the world.

Oh yeah, one more thing some really cool names for your blade.

Shinwa: Legendary
Kiseki: Miracle
Kun Jaku: Past and Present
Mugen: Infinate
YuuKi: Courage
Yuukan: Bravery
Seigi: Justice
Satori: Enlightenment
ShinKou: Faith
KinKou: Balance

Sometimes the best names are the most simple.

Hayao Miyazaki film are the best. My personal favorites are Spirited Away, The Last Unicorn (its old school), My Neighbor ToToRo, KiKi's Delivery Service, Nausicca and the Valley of the Wind, and of course Castle in the Sky. Actually I love manga. My favorite lately has been Full Metal Alchemist, But I still find myself going back over Neon Genesis: Evangelion. There is something addictive about it. When I first seen Heroes, it kind of reminded me of Manga. Unlike our American animation where it seems everyone is a superhero, Manga isn't like that at all. Take Visions of Escaflowne for instance where Van Fanel doesn't even want to be a hero, he just wants revenge for his village being burned down, then he meet people along the way the start to belive in him and then he starts to believe in himself and that's what makes him a hero. So good work Hiro. Can't wait to see the next episode.

Call it Shinken...

It suits you. And I allow it... lol

My favorite Miyazaki film is "Spirited Away"
What about Chihiro or Haku?
(My favourite characters)
Good luck & stay on your path!

I think you should name it Zanbato after the sword in Lone Wolf & Cub.

Hey Hiro,

Congrats on your leveling ^_^ ! This is just the beginning of your training.

One minute time freeze is good but how long does it take you to rejuvenate before you can freeze time again for another 1 minute?

This is another exercise that I recommend you must work on. This conditioning will give you the ability to chain time freezes simutaneously creating a longer time freeze combo for a greater effect. Work on freezing time for a minute and then stoping but not being tired at all and freeze it again immediately after you release it. See how many combos you can come up with before you get tired and then try to increase that number over a small interval break.

Also while doing this you must alternate between time freeze combos and increasing your time frame. Your next goal will to increase your time by 30 secs and continue to do so until you hit the goal of 5 mins for this weeks training.

Being able to train hard like this will give you the abilty to time freeze 5 min chain combos back to back creating a 30 minute time freeze super move if you can successfully chain 5 in a row. A lot can be done in 30 minutes ^_^.

Your last and final exercise for the week is to learn how to manipulate certain items in the time you freeze. Throw a item in the air freeze time around you and just make the item fall while everything else is still frozen. This will give you the ability to manipulate projectiles and objects to benefit your abilities on the battle field when you counter villains.

Sorry I know this is alot of homework but with hard work not only do you increase your chances of staying alive you increase others chances of not dying. So please work as hard as your favorite anime, video main character, special movie super star would ^_^ !

Last but not least I see you were looking for a blade name for your future Katana.

here are some suggestions

Cloud
Wind
Chaos
Nemesis
Zangestu ^_^

Or a name after someone important to you like a family member.

Since your mind has been on your future katana I think its time to bring this topic up to you again.

You seem to have access to the internet whether its a internet pit stop, a internet cafe, a mobile device with the internet, ect. The next time you get to another computer you need to look up the worlds greatest swords man, the worlds greatest fighters, and the worlds strongest men, and the worlds most acrobatic trainers in the history of the world.

Once you locate these individuals print out the pictures or focus on that picture and time frame. You will be able to travel to that destination.

You have the ability to learn from the greatest combat legends in the history of time. Once you gather enough information that should be your long term goal.

So then you wouldn't need super stength Hero will grow strong from hard work and traing like Rock Lee in Naruto. ^_^

Sorry for the long book Hiro but if it wasn't important I wouldn't have written it. This information can turn you into the worlds greatest Hereo and make your journeys easier. Good Luck!

hey Hiro you should name it the Black Wing every1 is sure to fear the black wing. what do you think?

timeless? that isn't a fearsome name....Bob...that's a fearsome name. you hsould name your katana Bob the Katana, all will fear it!!

A name for the katana? What's 'timeless' in jappanese?

Hiro, you're really a cool guy & we share a lot of interests. If you feel like teleporting over here some day we can watch some sci-fi, maybe Battlestar Galactica or you can recommend me some Star Trek episodes maybe.. And do come to Shadowcon next summer! I'm sure you of all people can find the Time :P
Keep up the good work and try to save New York plx :)

Sabal Myrak
Ether-twister
Born 6000 b.c.

PS: I think a Wakisashi would suit you better than a katana.

Hiro

You better hurry and get to New York fast. Evil has already lurked in and it will be too late to save the world. Oh yeah, get the Katana. You'll gonna need it.

I'm buying a katana in a few weeks and calling it DragonWrath, since the handle's the head of a dragon. Masamune's probably my favorite, and why not buy two katanas and perhaps even a shuriken? You'll be fierce!

"Dream Bringer" and "World Eater" are the names of my katanas...don't know if that helps, Hiro...

Hey hiro. how are you? um. i love Heores show and i think all powers is amazing. Can i ask you a question?. Are you wish that your power is real, so you can check your future out>? Lemme know :) have a good week and good luck at the set. :) see ya later

awesome dude? does any1 really read this stuff?? show must get better!!! more superpowers!!!

Great ability you have!!!Admire that very much!!
Why don't you name the sword "時間の刃"?I think that is a fanatastic name!

Hey Hiro,

I love your power, I cant give you a sword name. But i can give you a clue of what iit can be. After you save the world you by saving the cheer leader Clair. Youll have a name for sword. OHH yea i almost forgot about the waffles have you ever tryed just plane waffles with strawberryss and wip creem i tell you its the best.

P.S. If you want to keep time frozen longer youlll have to meditate on how long you want it to stay.

Oh my god, Laputa is your favourite Miyazaki movie??! I don't think I could like you anymore. =P

Your katana should be a combination of the two... the 正時刀　；）

Hey Hiro,

I love your power, I cant give you a sword name. But i can give you a clue of what iit can be. After you save the world you by saving the cheer leader Clair. Youll have a name for sword.

Hi Hiro,

I´m administrator HeroesBrasil website in Brazil (www.heroesbrasil.com.br / www.heroesbrasil.com and www.heroesbrasil.org), and i would liko to make a interview with you, for email.
Please, we are Heroes fans , crazy by the episodes, please give us a interview!
it does not need to approve this commentary, only reads!
at least answer-me

tkz
we love you in Brazil!
Fillipe Moraes

I love Miyazaki films. My favorite is How's Moving Caslte.

hi Hiro. i think you should name your Katana The Hiro Blade. titles that begin with "the" sound much more powerful. what music do you listen to? do you like Dir en Grey? they are my favorite especilly Kio.

Hey there,

On your advice I watched Howl's Moving Castle. What a beautiful film! Thanks for the recommendation. Is there any kind of music to listen to to send you good karmic vibes? I listened to some Früvous and thought happy thoughts in your direction. I'm so excited for you to come to New York my heart is in my stomach. It's not every day you get to meet someone you so greatly admire. There's one thing I don't understand though... Why would someone like Hiro finish last in the class? That makes no sense to me. Perhaps things are different for you, but in my experience, all the RPGs were played behind the closed doors of the gifted program, and we certainly weren't at the bottom of the class. Those games aren't for the mental lightweights. Just ask Weird Al. Anyway, I'm sure the force is strong with you. How strong? Like small pony. (That's quite strong that is.) Stay wonderful.
Peace the spork out,
Marti ;j

Oh, and for the record: my favourite Miyazaki flick is Nausicaa. It's so beautiful. His later works (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle) are good as well, but they don't hold a candle to his earlier stuff IMHO.

Fellow Miyazaki fan! Of course that's only to be expected of an otaku such as yourself :P

Keep on doing your time freeze thing, it rocks ;D

Have you had any chocolate chip waffles yet? Man they are good, but very sweet!

Hiro! It's Monday! Woohoo!

http://www.superhiro.org

Maybe you should give your sword a name that has something to do with your power. You could call it 'paradox' or something like that.

... on second thought that might be a little cheesy.

You can try to save the cheerleader. Who's going to save you? Forget blue berry, I want some brain waffles.

I am waiting for you.

I love you Hiro!

You should give your sword an original and unique name that suits its purpose and your personality. I'm sure the inspiration will hit you when the time comes. :)

I share your profound love for waffles! I make some FANTASTIC homemade waffles, so if you're ever in the houston area, drop on by!

Personally, Masamune is an overused name for a katana isn't it? It keeps reminding me of Frog getting the Masamune in Chrono Trigger hehe. I suggest a better name-one can remember and unique! Something like Tsugaru or something like it. Tsugaru sounds fitting, but that is up to you. It is your sword after all!

Ever played Katamari Damashi? It is highly addicting and the songs are catchy. I always dance to this song, it's called Katamari on the Rocks (Main theme song)

I think you should watch out for that red haired woman, I have a bad feeling if you meet her...

Hiro, I love Princess Mononoke, and I'm totally with Cloud, you could handle a Buster Sword no sweat! I'm routing for you all the way! I thought you were going to join up with the man and the boy from the car crash, the three of you would be a killer team. NEVER GIVE UP! SAVE THE CHEERLEADER! SAVE THE WORLD!

Oh yes Hiro of all of Miyazaki films the one I like is Kiki's Delivery Service. Hey Hiro how about if you use kenshin Sword the sakabato or Tetsusaiga.

Keep it Real.

You should definitely name your katana like the best project in the world. The name is "sapho". It means like a frog jumping through time like you, and also means courage and heroism, and regret of the great lost of maximus.

You are our hero hiro.

Hiro, if you name your Katana, you should name it "Defender". Good luck on your quest, man!

Later!
-AJ

Hiro,

Love your blog. However, if you're going to get a motorcycle, get a REAL motorcycle. Honda CBR 1000 or rode in style on a VTX 1300.

We're cheering for you.....

Miyazaki is a genius. My favorite is Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke. Good Luck with finding the cheerleader.

*Say*

Whoa 100 comments!!!!!

Good job, Hiro! I was cheering for you! You're my favorite character because you are so selfless and you like your powers not because you can show them off, but because you can use them to help people!

You should try chocolate chip pancakes. ;-)

Hey Hiro!!

I think you are the best!!
You should name your katana "Kokoro" ;)

Bye

Hey Hiro writing you from Hawaii.
I've been thinking about your importance regarding the obliteration of NYC. You can stop time right? Claire, the cheerleader is like Wolverine, able to heal and Peter can fly? Matt reads minds, DL phases like Shadowcat, Nikki-Jessica has super strength, Micah may be like Magneto (?), and Nathan is basically Cannonball from New Mutants. So okay picture this. Matt picks out the culprit/culprits w/the nuclear device. However too late. So you freeze time. By this time you are able to selectively freeze parts of that time. You enable Nikki-Jessica to throw Claire into the sky with the bomb as it's frozen in mid detonation (maybe a split second after it goes off so a small fireball). Nathan or Peter zoom up to catch Claire as she lets go of the explosion. Micah manipulates machinery/metal around him to create a barrier to the blast in the atmosphere and DL phases all the Heroes inside the shelter. Yeah it sounds far fetched but stuff like that happens in X-Men and X-Factor.

Throw the cheerleader, save the city.

Slipstream

Hiro-kun,

Congratulations on upping your time-freezing duration! o^-^o It's so great to hear you talking positively again! I really missed the sweet, optimistic Hiro-kun!

I adore Miyazaki-san! Kiki's Delievery Service is my favorite because it was my first Miyazaki-san film! Laputa: Castle in the Sky is one of my favorites as well! ^-^ He's an amazing artist!

Oh...I love 時空刀 as a name. So fitting. ^-^ 雷切 would be a cool name, too - the alternate name to Hatake Kakashi's very own Ninjutsu in the Anime/Manga, Naruto. But I believe 時空刀 beats it by a long shot.

Hiro-kun, good luck with your hero's path! I know you'll be the greatest hero of all! Take care!

Love,

Momo Dublin

P.S. Beware of blonds, Hiro-kun. They're not all they're cut out to be.

Awesome Hiro! You're the best hero so far. I hope you start leveling up and doing some crazy things. I believe you should name your sword Ragnarok! Like Cloud from Final Fantasy 7. Masamune is like the sword of the bad guy Sephiroth. I think Ragnarok would suit you better. Good luck!

いいなぁヒロ君は、時空を捻じ曲げられて。まじでヒーローだよ。俺にもそんな超能力があったらな…（俺のことだからやましい事ばかりに使っちゃうんだろうけど）。
ところでアメリカ来てからワッフルばっかり食べ続けてるの？運動もしっかりしないと太っちゃうよ?ｗｗｗ
あ、刀の名前ねぇ、時空刀ってのもちょっとありきたりな気がするんだけど。でもなんで刀なんだろうね。やっぱ日本人だから？刀使うヒーローはあんまり漫画に出てこないと思うんだけど。きっと時間を止めたときは飛び道具は撃てないとかそういう理由で打撃系の武器をこれから選ぶんだろうね。
とにかく頑張って！旅の成功を祈ってるよ♪b(^0^)d
p.s.
英語が上手くなろうと思ったらいっぱい勉強するしかないよね。でもそれには時間がかかる？大丈夫、時間とヒロ君はBest Friendsだから。安藤君の知らないうちに英語もマスターだー！やったー！\(^o^)/

That's so awesome that you got such a great ability to freeze time! You really are a hero. I wish I had a super like yours (if I got that, I would use it for... you know we all have got some part of our mind telling us to do something not quite right.)
Anyway, is waffle your favorite american food, and all you eat since you've got here? You better slow down; otherwise you'll gain weight so fast! lol (You don't wanna be on the "Biggest Losers".)
Well, speaking of the name of the sword, 時空刀 could be too ordinary. I mean, I've heard it somewhere I don't know specifically. But, why is it a sword? Is it because you are Japanese? I think not many heroes use a sword as their weapon, but is it needed to be? Maybe because you cannot use a firearm when you freeze time--bullet can't move except you do it, but maybe you can cut things with a sword by just swinging it. I don't know.
Anyway, I hope your journey turns out successfully!
p.s.
If you think you need to get better at dealing with English, you have to try harder. Do you think it takes a lot of time to do it? Don't worry. You and time are bestfriends. You will master English before Ando-kun knows. Use your time or freeze it to study English!

Way to go Hiro-san! I love Miyazaki-sama. My favourite is actually Howl's Moving Castle. I think you should name your katana Tenchu... It'd be cool. x3

Hiro-san,

That's great! Congrats on your save and power improvement! =)

9th Wonders is okay... I like reading Japanese manga. My fav is Tsubasa.

Miyazaki-sama is GOD!!! Laputa was cool. =)

GL with your katana. I dunno...maybe you should name it Chronoblade or Mr. Pointy. "My name is Hiro and this is my associate Mr. Pointy."

Nee, Hiro-san, how are you gonna meet Peter Petrilli if you don't know what he looks like? (Well, obviously the future you knows what he looks like but the current you doesn't...Gahh!!! My head hurts!!! T.T ) Also, what if there are others besides you and Nathan Petrilli? How will you find them? Do you have a "hero sense"?

Oh, yeah!!! I don't think Nathan's a good guy. I read that he caused his wife to be in a wheelchair. =(

Good Luck,
Loligoth =P

PS Waffles are good. Do Hello Kitty waffles taste good? I tried making some but the fur was annoying. =(

ヒロすごいだね！

頑張れ！　

Spork,

Maybe it makes you feel better about yourself to speak badly of others, but it really is somewhat less than impressive. A tip however.. when attempting derision, it's always best to check your facts. Kind of difficult to leave a message to someone who refuses to pick up their phone.

Poppers asked... "how come you can read the 9th Wonder magazine and not a car manual?"

-- maybe you're joking w/ this question (I hope so). There's a HUGE difference between a comic book and a manual. The graphic depiction of expressions and gestures make this almost the perfect medium for learning a foreign language. My mother (schooled in Germany before it became common practice to include other languages) taught herself English by reading comic books. I'm happy to see it's helping Hiro too.

Still thinking of names...."Blade Zero?" Something that would give nod to Hattori Hanzo would be sweet too.

http://www.superhiro.org

I don't know of the traditions of your culture in naming a weapon, but perhaps you could add to the memorial to your grandfather by naming it for him in some way.

It seems a good way to remember where you came from, and what started you on your path.

Remember always where you started and you will never become lost.

Miyazaki is the best filmmaker of animation hands down. I love Pixar too, but Miyazaki's films are more worldly. If I were to name your sword Hiro, it would probaby be "Chi." Who knows what powers behold the sword since you will wield it.

You should call your sword Kawaii Neko or Yoshi Sugio. ;P

how come you can read the 9th Wonder magazine and not a car manual?

I vote for a sword that shows your powers!!!
like
"How about 斬時刀 (Zanji-tou)??
This mean "Sword for cutting time."
英語訳合ってるかﾜｶﾗﾝけど…LOL" (neo)

I like "the Cutting Time sword"

Your sword should name like...

Time Slayer
Time Slasher
Chronos Breaker

^^

You should call it "The Z Sword"

^_^

How the hell are you learning to speak English so fast, Hiro? Why didn't you have your buddy leave messages for the painter in English? Are you really that dumb?

Way to go, Hiro-kun. NOW, you're a true hero. You put your own life at risk to save other people in need. I don't know what that black guy or his son's problem was. Maybe they had something on their minds.

You can't expect to save the Cheerleader on your first rescue attempt, Hiro-kun. Still, it's good to know you're getting in some practice. When you finally do get to whereever the Cheerleader is, you'll be ready to save her, or at least help save her. BTW, no Jawas in the Nevada Desert, dude. This isn't Tatooine, remember? Best way to "level" up your strength is to lift weights, or else continue to lug people out of danger like you did here. One way or the other, you'll be getting into shape.

So, Hiro-kun's "Gettin' his Kicks on Route 66," huh? It's an obscure reference to a famous jazz song sung by a man named Nat "King" Cole. Don't worry about it. Route 66 is, by and large, the fastest way to cross the country that you'll ever find. Stick to it, if you can.

Miyazaki, hmm? My daughter really loves his "Panda kopanda" series. Other than that, I really couldn't say if I've watched anything of his or not. I've mostly been interested in stuff by Rumiko Takahashi. You know: Ranma, Inuyasha. Things like that. It makes for good TV and it's really easy to get into. As for 9th Wonders, I'm afraid that's never been my favorite. I'll have to admit I've been a regular fan of Spider-man's, like you, but 9th Wonders isn't one of the books that's been on my reading list. Sounds interesting, though.

If you're intent on naming your sword, when you get one, I'd go with something original. "Jikuutou." Hmm. I had to run that one through my Japanese-English Dictionary. Jikuu=Space-Time and Tou=Freeze or Sickle. So, one way or the other, in English, it would be either "The Space-Time Sickle" or "the Space-Time Freezer," both of which, in my opinion, are appropriate in your case. I've never been great with naming swords, so go with *your* creation. That one seems good anyway.

As for your "heroic path," I'm just glad you're on a path that makes you happy. As for Diners having waffles, well, I'm pretty sure they all do, so take care and don't gorge yourself too much, okay?

Travel Safely, Hiro-kun.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Pratt

PS. Maybe you should settle on a single closer. It's up to you, of course. Mrs. P.

Oi, has anyone mentioned Muramasa yet? Muramasa = love :3

How about 斬時刀 (Zanji-tou)??
This mean "Sword for cutting time."
英語訳合ってるかﾜｶﾗﾝけど…LOL
I think this name is cooooool!!
頑張ってチアリーダーを助けて、地球を救って下さい♪
応援してるYOﾟ+｡:.ﾟヽ(*´∀`)ﾉﾟ.:｡+ﾟ

I have a couple of suggestions for your katana's name, Hiro. All of these are based on things you've mentioned in your blog so far.

明日暗夜 (Ashita Anya - Tomorrow's Dark Night) For the non-Japanese speaking folks reading this, the characters double up nicely to a rough translation of the start of the Green Lantern oath. (brightest day, darkest/blackest night)

皆既日食 - (Kaiki Nisshoku - Solar Eclipse) You mentioned an eclipse a while back when your blog became active and your powers started, so this strikes me as highly appropriate. Has the added bonus of sounding good in either language!

英雄之道(Eiyuu no Michi - Hero's Path) 'Nuff said.

一生懸命頑張って下さい！^_^v Do your best here in America!

Hiro,
Congrats! for saving those people you gain 500xp which is great because that lvls you! so role your d4 for hit points, maybe now you could take that punch (lucky for you it was subdual dmg). role high, because your con is kinda low.
when you hit 3rd lvl i recommend the exotic weapon proficiency bastardsword (seeing that in dnd a kantana is equivilient to a masterwork bastardsword) so you dont suffer the -4 in combat.
i recomend an ancestreal kantana, because as you grow in lvls, so does you weapon. To ensure you gradfathers blessings i would name it after him. he may have died in Hiroshima, but he will aid you in prventing it from happening again.
Boccob's Blessings,
qsus

p.s.
keep the glasses. they own.

How about "Bob the Katana?" Jim? Something unimpressive so your enemies are taken off guard!

I like the idea of concept words so how bout .....Truth. The katana would be your way to the truth and all heroe's fight their way to the truth because if they didn't they would not grow from their adversity. Oh and cause you saved those two people that's 2+ Strength, 1+ Agility, and 5+ Intelligence :D.

Yes. Americans watch Miyazaki films. In fact a coule of months ago there was an entire week dedicated to his films on AMC network. One of my favorites is Princess Monoke and/or Spirited Away.

Anyways maybe you should name your katana Clockwork...or something simulair...definatly something relating to your powers I think.

Do you eve know how to WIELD a katana? I've taken martial arts and I know using a katana takes lots of practice.

Better get to work.

-Erichan

You could call it the Hirosaber....

Alright a few down from me, is this guy Leroy Jenkins. Now leroy, you're talking to a Japanese man, you dont have to tell him that something means time in Japanese. He'll know it's japanese.

Call your katana Master Sword! Then you can be certain it will be able to strike down evil!

My personal favorite Miyazaki film is My Neighbor Totoro, but Castle in the Sky is pretty awesome too.

You should name your sword Absolution. :D

-- Many people believed the same of Sam in the LotR. Heroes often come from the most surprising places. Bet alot of ppl wouldn't think Mother Theresa hero material either. ;)

Sebastien... tama-kousei, spirit of justice is a wonderful name IMO

Laterz,
Linda

To Kitty:

Traditionally, Japanese swordsmiths were renown artisans and like all artist, you'd name your finest works. Although some are just named after the smith himself, like Masamune which was the name of probably the most famous and finest swordsmith in Japanese history.

In the subject of names again how about "爆弾止める" (Bakudantomeru- "Bombstopping"). Just thinking out loud.

Hiro
you are the coolest of all the heros in my perspective.

Any way for your katana I would reccomend a name of meaning such as

kijuukikuchibashi: yes a long name but it means cranes beak as in the novels with all of those paper cranes and the beak its only defence.

the Hiroatizer: a weird name but it would make the villans chuckle long enough for you to stop time and dispatch them.

hitotoki: means time in Japenese

Yes, Americans do watch Miyazaki films. My favorite is my neighboor totoro.

Do you have to name you katana? do Japanese people do that? I guess that'd be the equivalent of people naming there cars here in the US.

But, if you name your katana, then you will have a new best friend when Ando leaves you. He's really not hero worthy... sorry...

How about the name　時獄刀　(jigokutou), kind of a play of hell, because with a sword and all the time you want, it's kind of hellish for your opponent.
Just an opinion.

Dear Hiro,

Name your sword "Musashi's Legacy", after your country's greatest swordsman of record!

Maybe this journey of yours will be much like that anime from the 1980's called "Genesis Climber Mospeada". Do you remember Mospeada, Hiro? Stick Bernard (they called him Scott in the USA) travelled with his skeptical friend Ray (like Ando!) and along the way, one by one, they would get more people. Finally they had a small army of people, and they all travelled to "Reflex Point" to take out the Invid Hive.

Yes, I bet this is exactly how it will play. :P

There seems to be a major fascination with your sword and naming it. Let me introduce you to a computer game called "Fable" where a young boy with a destiny is trained in a Hero's Guild. As this Hero progresses in age he can choose to do either evil or good deeds--that is the option of choice in the game (in the form of quests). Evil deeds will eventually change his appearance into a demon. Good deeds will gain the trust of the people. Many melee weapons are available: some are imbued, some can be bought...but the best weapons must be earned and can never be traded. The strongest melee weapon is The Sword of Aeons (you'll need to do a evil deed to keep this sword) or you throw it away to eventually earn Avo's Tear (exactly the same as The Sword of Aeons, but requires additional exploration and cheat references to obtain). Good luck to you.

I'll be honest. I'd be more than happy with Masamune. I supoort it wholeheartedly.

Hiro I have a few ideas for naming your sword.

Time Cutter
Silent Killer
Unseen Executioner

hehe my last one is
Waffle Slicer

Hecatomb was mentioned by someone earlier. Just thought you'd like to know, it's the name of a game also.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ht/welcome

While Masamune and Jikuuto are very good names, have you considered Western naming schemes?

Books such as The Lord of the Rings give some excellent examples of Western swordnames, such as Glamdring, the elvish sword carried by Gandalf the Grey.

Another good technique is simply combining two words - one grandiose, one descriptive of a swordfighting action. For example: Worldcleaver, Foehammer or Darkslayer. Or something maybe more hopeful sounding, such as Lightbringer or Truthfinder.

Good luck, and keep up the good work.

Katana would be the way to go, but it is a heavier sword(why I haven't used it much, two-handers limit my defense), cuts and thrusts though which makes up for it, and if made right it can cut through most things.

Congradulations on your first hero work. I'm sure you're destined for more and greater.

Miyazaki films are actually quite popular in some places in America. My little cousin even saw Spirited Away, great film. I still prefer Princess Mononoke, and love Ashikata's story of trying to heal his curse, but realizing he needs to save the forest and the city.

Good luck Hiro, the gods have smiled upon you.

call it Ultamite weapon

Hi Hiro!

You're doing so well on your journey thus far! Yes, as you can see, a lot of Americans love Miyazaki. My favorite is Howl's Moving Castle (I like pretty fire!)

Good job saving those people from the car wreck! Most people go around never helping anyone else out, and look at how many people you've saved so far! Keep it up!

-WS

Hmm . . . "Daigoro" :-)

You're going the long way to New York.

You'll be all the way across Texas and into Oklahoma before you have a chance to go north on the interstate.

You should have took 15N out of Las Vegas. Oh, well too late now. Hopefully, it will work out for the best.

You have my permission to ignore the speed limit.

Hiro-kun,
Its good to see your still on your way to bettering your time shifting skills. Hope your able to hold it for 2 mintues soon!

Miyazaki films are great, full of life and also lessons. My fav is Spirited Away as well as Howl's Moving Castle. Both touched my heart. ^_^!

Hmm, naming your katana is a hard thing. Usually the sword choses its name on its own kind of. But, the name jikuutou does sound alright.

Sorry this is so short. But, I have to go. I've been up with insomina and I have work soon. Take care!

~ Kurai

for the name of the sword :

tama-kousei ( 公正 - 魂 )

in english : spirit of justice

sorry for my english, i am french ^_^

sebastien

Has anyone ever seen "Ichi the Killer?"

http://www.superhiro.org

Hell yeah, we watch Miyazaki! He is like the new age Walt Disney!

Hello Hiro! Hajimemashite (I hope that's right.)

First off... Miyazaki!! Wonderful! This is actually a new find for me, one I might never have watched on my own, if not for a recent road trip from Texas to Colorado. One in our group brought along Spirited Away, which I didn't care to watch (because it was animated), BUT... I'm so glad I did. It was beautiful! One of the best movies I've seen in forever.

About the man and his son, please don't let it bother you too much. I'm sure they were just shaken up. I know how you feel though, it's disheartening when people don't smile. I bet more people smile in your wake than you realize.

oh, as for the katana... I always thought Hecatomb would be a good name for a sword. (at least I think that's an original name, or maybe I saw it or read it somewhere years ago lol)

oh yeah, and the waffles.. have you tried cinnamon apple? Soooo good.

Ciao,
Linda

Hi Hiro!! Well I say you should name your sword something that is meaningful to you a word or a phrase. If you would like, give me a phrase in English and I could translate it into a kool-sounding Elvish name for you. For instance ... my name is Tara and in Sandscript(one of th oldest known languages) it means star ... I am a female so therefore my elvish name is Elwen ... meaning Star Maiden ... it's super easy to do so let me know if u want an original name for your sword!!

Hiro-san.
I am very proud of you. you are developing into a great hero. Saving lives is a great accomplishment, especially that you had to push yourself to do so. nothing is supposed to come easy, especially saving a life, so you have already shown your courage and strength in doing so.
do not worry about the two that did not smile. very few will smile if they were close to death, and had no control over the situation. Sometimes they may wonder right after being saved,"what if he hadn't been there." Just thinking this may cause a sort of sorrow toward a tragedy that could have been.

And I have a suggestion for name for your sword. how does Kmoriken sound to you.

finally I take my leave with another message that may help you along your journey.

If your mind is willing to push on, the body and soul will go beyond their normal barriers.

Goodluck Hiro-san
remember what I say on your Hero's journey, and you shall find your way.
That Unknown Inspiration

Hiro...do you realize your name sounds like the American word for hero? You should name your sword the American Hero! Then you could use it to defeat all of America's enemies! You can save us all!!!

To answer Danny's question, "jikuu" means "space-time" and "tou" means "sword." So it's a very appropriate choice, if a little obvious.

Miyazaki films are great! I just watched Nausica a few days ago with a friend of mine. I've also seen Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Howl's Moving Castle. I got to see Howl's Moving Castle in the theater, actually.

Have you seen Last Exile? It's not Miyazaki, but it's my favorite anime right now.

Your sword definitely needs a name, but don't worry too much about what you'll name it. I think the name will become apparent to you when you finally get it.

And, about people smiling and thinking you, just remember, you can only control your own actions; you can't control what others do. Also, a hero doesn't do things for the praise of others. Ideally, a hero does things because they are Good. Besides, you never know what's going on in people's lives; maybe that guy and his son were having a bad day for some reason. Perhaps there was something really important on his mind.

Anyway, have fun saving the world!

Well, I don't know Japanese, so I can't help you with sword names, but I can give you some English sword names that I've heard, but I don't know if they'll fit for a Katana...

Slasher
(insert enemy of your choice here)-cleaver
Bright Killer (got it from a book I read)
Sting (From the Lord of the Rings books)

That's all I can think of... but I guess a Japanese name is more fitting for a Katana. The ones I thought of were for European middle-age swords.

Good luck with getting to the cheerleader and New York by the way!

Yay on leveling up your time freezing! Lots of Americans like anime. I'm a wannabe mangaka and Miyazaki is my idol (^.^) My favorite Miyazaki film is Howl's Moving Castle.

Hugs,
Nev-chan

We watch Miyazaki films 'cause they keep winning them awards XD. You shouldn't get a katana because it may look cool and all, but katanas are cleavers, and dismemberment isn't something a hero should be doing! You know, if you don't know what kind of sword you have it must have been sheethed right? So maybe you have a staff or something? But if you do go with a katana you should get it reverse bladed like Kenshin! Blade on the wrong side, so you can capture people like a hero should!

How strange that they didn't smile at you! I'm sorry they weren't more friendly, maybe they were just shaken up from the fright they had been through. But good job saving them.

You do need to figure out a way to help move people's bodies when you freeze time. Perhaps a simple machine of some sort. Does anyone who did well in high school physics have any ideas? (My apologies, I'm better at language and history myself.)

Yes, we do like Miyazaki's films quite a lot! Disney movies were the most popular animation during my childhood but in the last decade especially quite a few good Japanese animated movies have been brought over and translated. Especially popular are Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away. My own personal favorite though is Howl's Moving Castle. Sophie is a good female role model, I think. Most other good female role models seem so outgoing, but Sophie is more introverted like me so I really identify with her.

Sorry, no idea about what to name a sword. I do think you should come up with something original, though. I will kindly refrain from making jokes about men and their swords too, haha.

Until we meet again, がんばって！

Do you believe in destiny?

http://www.superhiro.org

Of course they didn't smile! Black guys never smile, don't you watch Family Guy? Oh wait, I guess you don't. Well, you should! Besides being pretty funny it's an unfortunately accurate interpretation of American society.

That just gave me an idea though! You should stop and rent some American movies, or even some japanese animes that have been dubbed in english. I'll bet it'll help you learn the language, or at least give you some cool phrases to say over and over again to the point of annoyance. Or wait, I guess you can't. Nothing to watch them on. Dang. Well, at least sit yourself down in front of the boob tube in the next motel you check into.

As for sword names, isn't this sort of like counting your chickens before they hatch? You don't even have the thing yet and you're already naming it. I'm sure once you've finally gotten it you'll already know what you want to call it, and it'll be something completely relevant to you. Naming anything in the real world after something imaginary -no matter how cool that something is- is just lame. It's like calling your pet collie Lassie. Naming her after a TV dog won't mean she's gonna start pulling little boys named Timmy out of wells.

To answer your question if we Americans watch Miyazaki films. Not all of us do, but I have seen and couple and loved them very much. I am a big anime fan. You are also my favorite character on Heroes. Practice hard and save the world. I'm rooting for you!

Hiro,

To get a Katana would be like getting a Light Saber (which I know you have a deep affection for Star Wars) so that could be why you have one in the future...How exciting to be expecting your own "light saber"!

You might receive it from a distant relative...They tell you a lesson about your past, which relates to how you are now, but they don't know about your special ability...It is all a sign for you to use "the force" (or special ability to stop time) for greater good while having your Katana to remind you of your heritage and where your future destiny lies.

As for naming your Katana, how does "Chop Suey" sound? The name reminds me of what the Katana can do...It can chop things up into little pieces. Ironically, each individual hero (which are like ingredients used to make Chop Suey) are mixed together to make a dish and eventually stop hunger (which are like the bad guys).

I like Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle"...Characters in that movie have special abilities too...Some are used for good and some are used for bad, but in the end a loving heart saves the soul. Beautiful isn't it?

Anyway,
If you can find a good Chinese restaurant try some Chop Suey, it can be quite fulfilling after a long journey...

"Hiro's Quote: Being a hero is a very thankless job but at least they could smile"

*****************************

You've mentioned you can stop time. When, (and if this happens), time is frozen for even a minute, my guess is it must be like when someone is effected by this "time freeze" will not have any recollection of being in that situation themselves. It may be like passing out from having a seizure, a *black out*. That when the person/people wake up from this "time freeze" there's no memory. The natural reaction when waking up from this *black out* is confusion, loss of time from memory, and this depends on different people, slowness in returning back to feeling like themselves.

My life's been saved many times over. Thank you for helping those that can not help themselves.

As for the name of the sword. Just call it "My Sword".

HUGS

~dreamweaver68

Time travel and freezing is is a human desire born from imperfection. The ability to wright the wrong. That Is why you are very powerful even now. Miyazaki is a wonderful artist. And I also favor Castle in the Sky. As for your sword I like Trekerapier - A sword, a traveler in time.

What does "jikuutou" mean, or is it a word you made up?

And yes, Americans watch Miyazaki films, with some regularity. My favorite is Spirited Away, though I loved the Nausicaa in the Valley of the Wind manga (much darker than the movie, though)

Miyazaki films are sooo good~♪
If I had a sword I would name it｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)...刀ーもくん! hahahaha
good luck!! \(＾∇＾)/ ~♥

...or maybe ☆抜山蓋世☆

By the way, Hiro, I forgot to mention. Your power is cool and all, but you need to learn to stop marvelling at everything when you got time stopped. You know you can't hold it for very long, so I suggest that after you stop time you hurry as fast as you can, ok?

the katana should be named kunoichi cuz your a pimp your the coolest hero say whats up to George L for me thanx!!

You should see about getting a Hatori Honzo blade (:-P).

Miyazaki is awesome... I love Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.

Hiro is my #1 Hero!

Howl's Moving Castle is the best!

And you don't go back and save the people at the poker game because it would've been done already! Does that make sense? You saved the right people though! ^_^

And your entries make me laugh. I love you Hiro~

Miyazaki films are awesome. :)

Konbawa Hiro-sama! O genki desu ka? I'm happy to hear that you improved your time freezing abitlities. It must be so cool to have that power to be able to stop time! 0.0 Plus it give you some time to save people. Oh and Miyazaki moives are popural in the U.S. too. My favortie is Totoro! ^.^ By the way I think you should name the katana time cutter in Nihongo. It would be really awesome! ^__^

Totemo kawaii, Hiro-kun! Gambatte!

"Jikuutou" sounds great. It will represent you well on your journey. (^.^)

lol

hiro, Jawas and Cantinas are in a galaxay far far away. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if there were in Arizona...around an Area 51

>>

^^

I watch Miyazaki films when I can and Castle in the Sky was cool.

And be unique and name the katana "Bob" everyone uses exotic sounding names so go with something totally off the wall! XD

Yay Miyazaki films are the best! ^___^ My favorite is Totoro...jk. I haven't seen it yet! =(

Is it good? ^__^

Ganbatte ne? Fight on Hiro-sama.

Konnichiwa!
OH MY GOSH! Hiro-san now you prove to me that you are a FINAL FANTASY VII fan! :D About the sword name thing, I don't think you should use Sephiroth's sword name on it (he's the bad guy! Remember, you are a Heroe!) If you want name it after a FFVII character, why don't name it with Buster Sword? ^_^

Sayonara
Rafaela

Yay Hiro! We knew you could do it! You'll find your path, no doubt! :)
Being a hero might be a thankless job at times, but maybe that guy and his son may have had something else weighing on their minds? I'm sure they were thankful for the help you offered. Perhaps you may run into them again?

You should your own name for your sword, its going to be a part of you and the name must mean something to you, and you alone.

Good luck to you and remember, practice makes perfect!
Marvel Girl
p.s. Are you going to try and save those guys at the poker game soon?

time= jikoku, kokugen, hitotoki, ma, toki, taimu, kouin

cutter= katta-, kirite, setsudanki

i hope those help. Masamune has been used so many times. I think you should have an original name for your sword. something that relates with your powers and your personality. Also, you should go back and study the situation with the tall black fellow. When he was messing with the door, he couldn't open it cause it was locked. Without breaking the window and without tools he was able to open it. That seems kind of weird. And ask Ando-san how the little boy knew him. Little hints. Good luck getting to the cheerleader. I'm cheering for you. Good luck. You'll someday be a The future of all Samurai.

Who is Scyler some people seem to think it's Claire's (cheerleader)Dad but I don't think so I think scyler may be the strange black guy. What's his power? Also has anyone else figured out what Peter Petrelli's power is? It's mimicking! That's why he could fly when he was around his brother also why he could paint the future when around Isacc (painter)! Does the girl w/ split personalities have any powers other than split personlity If so what is it. Is the guy w/ burning nucler powers really scyler like the cop thinks I don't think so. Anyway Bye

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Hiro,
I really like your powers but I think there's alot more you could do w/ them and I also have some Quiestions about them
1. speeding up time in one place ex. rusting metal instantly

2. slowing time mabey you could do it longer than 1 min.

3. Teleporting w/o speeding time.

That's abut it also you should name your sword something like Timeblade or Future Sword or something Japanese that means that.

P.S. Awesome emocons

Of course there are Americans who watch Miyazaki films! (: My favorite is the classic Nausicaa.

Good luck with the hero-ing-
