BOSSMAN HERO, otherwise known as HERO, is a console-exclusive antagonist of OMORI. Usually, HERO acts as one of the main three deuteragonists of the game that join OMORI's party. Although his manic, capitalist-driven incarnation is automatically fought within the LAST RESORT after receiving the GIANT CHECK from MR. JAWSUM on ONE DAY LEFT of the OMORI ROUTE.
Personality[]
BOSSMAN HERO can be called the complete opposite of his former self. He is shown to be maniacal and enthusiastic when it comes offering deals to the group when battling them. He lacks a kind-hearted demeanor he once had before, an example being his endless attempts to force his friends to work for him forever.
In fact, he notably shares some of MR. JAWSUM's characteristics, such as his tendency to force others into working for him for free, his unfair treatment of the GATOR GUYS, and the loud-bearing laughter he emits on occasions. The only major difference is that whereas MR. JAWSUM seems to be more put-together, BOSSMAN HERO appears as chaotic and power-obsessed.
Story[]
After MR. JAWSUM decides to hand ownership of the LAST RESORT to HERO along with giving the group a GIANT CHECK, the former decides to go on a long vacation. Despite his hesitance to accept this role, HERO ends up becoming the new owner of the casino. The group praises him and urges him to try out his suit and tie.
To experiment with his abilities as the new owner of the casino, HERO snaps his fingers to summon Gator Guys at his side. However, as he snaps a few more times, KEL and [Aubrey (Omori)|AUBREY]] both notice something off with their friend. Upon being questioned if he is okay, HERO loudly exclaims that bosses don't feel anything with an expression not like himself.
HERO has been completely consumed by power as noted by his brother KEL. HERO's power-obsessed persona ends up causing him to erratically demand the group if they would like to work for him for free, along with scaring away most of his Gator Guy minions. The player is then given a prompt on if they would like to fight BOSSMAN HERO. Regardless of the choice selected, BOSSMAN HERO will be fought either way, particularly right after he ends up provoking KEL and AUBREY to stop him.
Appearance[]
As the new owner of the LAST RESORT, BOSSMAN HERO still has the same spiky hair and charming features he possesses as usual. However, he now wears a blue striped suit, a red tie, and brown shoes to signify his role as the casino's new owner.
In addition, BOSSMAN HERO is often shown with a completely unstable expression due to letting the power as the new owner get to his head. His battle sprite also depicts him laughing in a mocking manner while standing on a table with his legs bent and arms outstretched.
Trivia[]
- HERO's nickname in OMOCAT's original blogs was originally Hiki instead of Hero. This iteration is identical to his final game portrayal, depicted as the oldest of the group and described as "really smart".[1]
- The nickname Hiki, along with KEL's old name ("K") and OMORI's name make up the word "hikikomori," which is a Japanese word that refers to someone who completely withdraws from society for years.
- In the post-battle cutscene, HERO's defeat/unconscious sprite in the overworld resembles a flipped version of his sprite when climbing up a ladder in Headspace.
- Initially, the two Gator Guys that aid BOSSMAN HERO were both meant to take the contracts offered if OMORI's party refuses them. However, this becomes unused as only one of them can do the action.
