*Hero is referred within ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''{{'}}s game files with the codename "brave", a rather direct translation of his Japanese name, Yūsha. Notably, the codename was [[Leak#DLC datamines|discovered]] as early as December 2018 after [[List of updates (SSBU)#1.1.0|update 1.1.0]] released, although the discovery had only been made public in January. The mysterious codename raised much speculation and debate in the community, with the most common hypothesis on the mysterious character's identity being a ''Dragon Quest'' protagonist. Specifically, the protagonist was assumed to be Erdrick, which turned out to be partially correct due to him being an alternate character. | *Hero is referred to within ''[[Super Smash Bros.

*In Japanese, Hero has a chance of calling out a spell's name, excluding the Command Selection spells.

Melee]]'' and [[Mewtwo]] in all of its playable appearances. | *In Japanese, Hero has a chance of calling out a spell's name, excluding the Command Selection spells.
