Hiro = Getting "hammered" to shape up to be just like 'Future' Hiro?
In Season 1, Ando died in the future which is the reason why 'Future' Hiro was born. This was a non-"yatta!"-ing, non-smiling, very emo version of Hiro and most people loved that bad-a** Hiro.
It seems that in Season 2, the events that are unfolding leads me to think that he SHOULD end up being like his future self in season 1 since everything that happens to him this season has a lot more emotional impact than just losing Ando. I love the idea that he experiences heartache in the past from losing/betraying/being betrayed by a friend and having to leave the girl he likes/likes him back and him going back to the future thinking that Ando and his father are waiting for him to listen to his stories and to console him from his experiences in the past.
And then he indeed goes back to the future and he hears from Ando that his father has been murdered (by no less than his old friend...at least, indirectly). BAM. I love that look on Hiro's face. I guess that's probably the last time we'll be hearing a jolly, high-pitched Hiro at least for now. No more "Yatta"s.
