Hiro Nakamura quotes from Heroes

Should we freeze time?

Nah, I havent had a good fight in years.

Hiro

Now the hard part...

Ando

Why are you smiling?

Hiro

It's exciting! This is our chance to change the future.

Ando

But how? How will we know what to do?

Hiro

I have Mr. Isaac's comic book. It's not finished. It only has the pictures, not the words.

Ando

We could be talking about anything.

Hiro

Let's go ask Mr. Isaac. He'll know what we say. (yelled, in English) Don't worry New York! We will save you!

Hiro

He's so sad.

Ando

He's distracted. Go on, do it!

Hiro

I can't kill a man who is asking for forgiveness. It's not in the Bushido code. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Ando

You look bad ass.

Hiro

[smiling] Really?

Sylar

Turns out you're the villain, Peter. I'm the hero.

Hiro

[teleported in with sword] Sylar!

Sylar

You!

Hiro

You are the hero Kensei?

My name here is Kensei, but no one's ever called me a hero before.

Hiro

(in Japanese) Are you sure you're Takezo Kensei?

(in Japanese) Good name, eh? "Kensei" means "sword saint". Men think twice before they trifle with that. I thought of it when I got here from England.

Hiro

[in English] You are English?!

You mustn't fret over everything my very strange little friend! Here, have some sake. Brighten your day.

Hiro

No, forget sake! You're supposed to be a hero!

(drunkenly)You look like a fish when you talk. Like a giant carp!

Hiro

I already made a mess of the past. The space/time continuum can't take anymore. History needs Takezo Kensei to be a hero today... (Hiro puts on Takezo's armor and rides away on horseback.) Ando's never going to believe this one!

Hiro

(in Takezo's armor) my father once told me deer are the messengers of god. if you tell a deer your wish it can pass on the message.

Yaeko

Heaven has already sent me what I most desire. Someone to save us all. And bring us hope.

Hiro

(in Takezo's armor) You are too kind.

Yaeko

Take off your mask.

Hiro

(in Takezo's armor) There are things I could not say if you looked on my face. You... disarm me. It is no surprise Takezo Kensei's love for you will be the stuff of legends.

Yaeko

Will it? (Hiro nods)

(faintly) Sorry, Carp. I'll help you be a hero the next time around.

Hiro

No! You cannot die! (Kensei's wound heals.) Godsend!

I cut myself, and the wound heals. Over and over again.

Hiro

You are a hero, like me. I have power too.

You? Really?

Hiro

Yes. I can stop time and move through space. (teleports behind Takezo) Hello!

How are such things possible?

Hiro

Some say it's a gift from god. Some people think it's evolution.

What is that? Evolution?

Hiro

It means you can heal from any wound.

Really? Any wound? Sword? Serpent? Fire? (Hiro nods.) This'll make me richer than the pope!

Yaeko

Father! We came to save you.

Hiro

I am Hiro. And this is the great swordsman Takezo Kensei. He has come to save you.

Kensei? I thought you were a drunk.

Turns out, I'm a hero.

Yaeko

How did we get here, Hiro?

Hiro

I don't know. We should find Kensei. He'll explain everything

Yaeko

No, you did it. You held me, and then we were here. You can move people from one place to another. (Yaeko covers Hiro's mouth.) You... with a mask. It was you, Hiro. All this time. It was you that did all those amazing things.

Hiro

I only wanted to fix history.

Yaeko

You saved me from the brigands. You were the one under the cherry blossoms. Do you... love me, Hiro?

Hiro

I do. Very much.

Yaeko

Everything I loved in Kensei came from you.

Hiro

Kensei! I've been searching for hours. Come my friend, we must go back and destroy White Beard's guns.

If you want to stop him do it yourself.

Hiro

Something wrong?

I saw you Hiro. After I saved the swordsmith I came looking for you, afraid something happened to Yaeko, 'cause I love her. And you, friend, betrayed me.

Hiro

No-

Yes, you kissed her.

Hiro

It happened by accident.

You accidentally kissed her?

Hiro

I accidentally fell in love with her. And she with me. I'm so sorry.

So you've been lying to me all along. First you show me that I can be harmed by no weapon and then you hurt me deeper than any blade possibly could.

Hiro

She's your princess, Kensei. I know that. And I swear I will not give into love. That kiss will be our last.
