** In his review of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire Capu2'', curiosity drives him to check which characters Creator/KiraVincentDavis voices besides AnnoyingYoungerSibling Kokoa Shuzen. Cut to a sudden close-up of [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]] glaring at you, accompanied by the music from ''Film/{{Psycho}}''. Have fun sleeping tonight!

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Played with in a few different ways. With the nature of the Hero's one ability--control of all cartoon clichés (his words, not ours)--new PARTS of it are revealed as the plot demands. To wit, he has [[StuffBlowingUp his trusty TNT]], [[AnvilOnHead can make it RAIN ANVILS]], has a [[MegatonPunch Falcon Punch]], and in the [[AllThereInTheManual origin comic,]] he has SuperSpeed, can throw an ACME bomb that's actually a smoke bomb, and can [[DropTheHammer pull a giant mallet-style hammer out of nowhere]]. The fact that he can get new abilities this way is actually [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in his review of said comic [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall as Linkara]].

renamed to Clone Angst


* CloningBlues: Clones factor into the new storyline extensively – the end of Season 3 established that [[spoiler:The Hero has been cloned several times by the government agency he's worked for. A large group of them has been destroyed, but the Hero suspects they have reserves.]] And in Season 4, we have Number Six, [[spoiler:a clone of the Hero from a BadFuture that was sent to assassinate him.]] [[AvertedTrope Averted]] later on – see ChekhovsArmy above.

*** This was later justified in the ''Videogame/EarthBound'' review, though it also arguably counts as an example: [[spoiler:Apparently, being turned into a human-toon hybrid gives one access to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]].]]

** The Hero did a rather memorable shout-out to LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} and the rest of LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys in the ''Videogame/EarthBound'' review, mostly because it was they who helped him discover the Mother series in the first place.

Namespace migration


Notably, the show's quality gets increasingly better as time passes. The storyline becomes deeper, the camera quality gets better, and (perhaps not coincidentally) he references Website/TVTropes more and more. Either way, you can find him on his blog [[http://theherooftomorrow.blogspot.com here.]] He also has a Dailymotion account [[http://www.dailymotion.com/theherooftomorrow here,]] where most of his videos can now be found, though he had to upload a few to Google Drive. He had a Website/BlipTV account, but it got deleted during one of Blip's purges. He was also on Reviewers Unknown, but that site closed down October 18, 2014.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: His "Elseworlds Month" specials. Justified in-universe as [[spoiler:''In Search of the Titanic'' distorted the fabric of time and space, offering glimpses at other universes.]]
** Also, his review of VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaTheMinishCap. It was originally for a collab that went defunct before it was finished, but it was his first video game review. This later led to a sub-series called The Art of Gaming, in which he mostly reviews good games--except for that one time he reviewed VideoGame/LostMagic.
