Man I love this scene! The eclipse was way too perfect

Isnt that Hiros dad on that horse with the sword? cose he siad hes been waiting generatiions for a nakumura to ascend??

i think it's him, but a lot of others don't...who knows

I called that when he first said it! When Kaito said: "I've been waiting a long tim for a Nakamura to ascend..."

I KNEW IT! It is totally Kensei! And the reflection in the sword was just perfect... I know I said that the reflectionw as nothing significant, but I think it was and is! Kaito is Kensei!

Her changed his name so he wouldn't get publicity! That is MY theory!

Here is a new website: Kaito Nakamura and Kensei...

I think it's part of Heroes: 360

Yeah I thought that when I was watching it cause the blue samurai is totally George Takei

I loved when Hiro said that excepletive!!

How can that be Hiro's Dad when that scene was supposed to be in the 17th Century?

Immortality

so..when he is nearly 350 years old...and he's got a 24 years old son...woww...here's my hero

LOL @ DarthCages

At first I was thinking "Independence Day or even "the visitors" when I saw the shadow...
I was like ohhhhhhhh there's an extraterrestrial factor.
the whole nine yards went through my head.
Extraterrestrial inter-breeding. Heroes were some sort of experiments.... or even aliens themselves
Cartmans anal probe, everything...
Then it was an eclipse.

don't think I would have been as disappointed had that been the case.

If he is immortal than why does he look older? Wouldn't he just always stay young..immortality confuses me

well most of the heroes developed there powers late so mabye he did . . . or the wrinkles are really battle scars

Actually, if he was immortal, he would still age and get the wrinkles and look older and maybe even become weaker...he just would never die.

I think him being immortal is the easiest way to explain how it could be Hiro's father in 1671.

But then wouldn't he look really old in present time?

He would look like Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China. The very ancient Lo Pan who sits in a wheel cheer.

@#$%! - LOL!! he never swears ever! do you think he said *uck! or *hit!

remember season two's name is generations so if it isnt Hiro's Dad then it will most likely be related to Hiro and his dad in some way because he is utside japan so yeah lol its just a thought and the eyes and mouth of the man on the horse look the same as his dad

Yeah the blue samurai (I'm going to say that it's Kensai) definetly appears to be George Takei (Kaito Nakamura)

dont neccesary inmortality he could auto regen n dont appears the age he has ( as wolverine )

Immortality is so confusing so if that's the case they better explain it really well

Hiro's Dad has the same Power as Hiro because How could some old man know kensai
He probably went back in time to train or he is immortal he lives he dies then starts again from a baby.
or something
and
Nathan and are both alive

At this point it definetly seems that way

Maybe he´s not immortal, in the way he wouldn´t die, maybe he just older slower. sorry, if it was posted already. I was in shenecktetty, where I hadn´t any access to the net.

You're not the first to think so and it could always be a possibility

maybe its not hiros father, just a distant relative, and they just happen to look alike

when does the new season start

September 24th I believe it was

Wolverines mutant power is like Claires (regeneration/fast selfhealing).
The body ages nevertheless even if the person looks younger as it is.

As about immortality: if Hiros father is immortal then his power definately triggered VERY late cause if you see the highlander movies/series you'll see that immortal people staying (lookwise) the same as they were after their power triggered for the first time and stay that way.

So if the power triggered while you were 30 years old, then after 400 years you would still look as if you were 30.

However, I think that he either has time travel like hiro aswell or a other power than immortality cause Kane will be the 1000 years old guy in season two.

Of course Kensei could be one of the family line ancestors.

all this is true if it is him hes just immortal then but wtf u want?? him to be a baby forever?? they just needed a cool good actor and its just how the program works i mean in "HIGHLANDER" there immortal and dont age but they arnt forever babies

Which is one of the reasons why the concept of immortality is so weird

Doesn't have to be immortality per say. He could just age very slowly. Say one year per 50 or 100.

Any why can't an immortal also be eternaly young? That just means Hiro's dad's power manifested itself late in his life.

It's a possibility I guess though I think it would be more like immortality that didn't start until that person was older

If, you ever watched Blade: The Series that's how people explained the Pure Bloods!!

Nope, never got into that series, the show though (if they follow the route of immortality) could have a different explanation

If he was immortal then why would be be so worried to die, and then actually die.

Though I do think there is somehting to him waiting a long time for one to ascend and all that ... perhaps he is not immortal like he can die but time has no affect on him, as in he is ageless or something

Hey guys my name is sam and i am from australia, i have been following heroes and downloading them online so i get them like a day after america sees them and like 6 months like the rest of aussie does. The new season is awesome i just finished watching the first episode it ROCKED! and yay peter is alive and he got a haircut!

Huh. Aren't Peter and Claire immortal after a fashion, now? Perhaps Kensei will end up being the example of what happens if you take Claire's power... then don't die for 350 years.
