Heroes Season 1(#22)---5/14/07-'Landslide'

That's kind of funny really, because the second I saw that Silver Surfer comic I thought "NICE, bet it's really some crappy dollar bin comic she made look like Silver Surfer #1..."

That is the same thought I had,

Another body just hit the floor. The newest Heroes webcomic has just been posted. Part one of two, it's titled The Death of Hana Gittelman.

Ah Wireless, we hardly knew ye...

No body no death. She was just captured. Doesn't mean she can't get out of it.

Right, I might have missed it being mentioned before, but Nathan Petrelli's wife was definitely cured of her paralysis. I assume that was Linderman's doing.

No assumption needed. It was shown in this last episode.

That is the same thought I had,

As was mentioned up thread, Micah would almost certainly catch that, unless Candace is as big of a comic geek as Micah.

Not yet read it, but Hana Gittelman's death might be the death of her previous identity, and not the physical person.

Heh, do you know what it really was?

Product placement for "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer"!!!

As was mentioned up thread, Micah would almost certainly catch that, unless Candace is as big of a comic geek as Micah.

Or, Candace's illusion power might have crafted the image from his subconscious, and he was reading what he expected to read in a comic that he really desired. I mean, light-bending doesn't fully explain the maze he ran through when he left the room, I think, so I'd say it's mental.


But yes, the Silver Surfer ad's are rampant on the website, so it was product placement.

(same with Nissan Versa. I almost wonder if STI gave them all the guns too, since they all use the same custom race gun for self-defense...)

(except Peter giving Claire the 1911. I like to think that was his fathers from Vietnam.)

 

[RigaMortus2]

Ted was a disappointment, Hiro's Training Montage is silly & hilarious...

I thought for sure Hiro would travel to feudal Japan, train for years with real Kensai, and then teleport back to the present with all that knowledge. That would have been much better IMO.

There is an interesting - and very convincing theory = posted on the 9th Wonders Boards that Kaito Nakamura is not Hiro's father at all.

Spoilers follow. And while this is a "theory" and not a spoiler per se, I think it is so spot on a theory I'm calling it an outright spoiler

Spoiler

Is it possible that Kaito Nakamura is actually the legendary Takezo Kensei? We still don't know what Kaito's power is, and if it's also the ability to time travel, or perhaps some form of immortality, then could it be that Takezo Kensei never died. There are a number of things that make me think that.

• Kaito is, apparently, a master of the sword, like Takezo Kensei.
• * Kaito would always tell Hiro tales of Takezo's adventures as a kid.
• * It would explain how the 'Godsend' symbol on Takezo's sword (from over 400 years ago) became associated with today's heroes.
• * Kaito tells Hiro in Chapter 22, "I have waited a long time for a Nakamura to ascend" - How long? And which other members of the Nakamura family could he be referring to, since Hiro only has a sister? He later says, "You have proven yourself worthy of our legacy" - again, there is something about that statement that implies a certain longevity for Kaito.
• * Kaito is the founder of the Yamagato Fellowship, which is an organization dedicated to the study of certain historical heroic figures, Takezo Kensei being one of the most prominently featured heroes.
• * The description of Takezo Kensei on the Yamagato Fellowship website reads as follows:
  QUOTE
  The Dragon demanded the life of the princess. Kensei refused and cut out his own heart, handed it to the dragon and said, "My love is in here. Take it." And then he died. When the Dragon saw what Kensei was willing to sacrifice for his people (and his love) he was so moved that he replaced Kensei's heart and breathed fire-life back into the swordsman.
• * In 'Godsend', when Hiro first finds the sword, they briefly flash a portion of text describing Takezo Kensei, and it could be just a coincidence, but they do not show the date that he died, only the date he was born - (1584 - ...).
  
  
  
  
  

Considering we do not yet know Kaito's power, it seems likely that Kaito Nakamura and Takezo Kensei are one and the same.

Fire-Life: Like maybe the kind that lasts a really long time?

Lastly, Being Beeman Episode #22 - the director's blog, explains that Hiro's mastery of the sword in so short a time is not due to training but is due to "magic".

Kensei passes on to Hiro the same secret of the sword saint that the dragon gave to him.

Now that is an interesting theory I really like.
