2	''Seishun Scandal'' (Youth Scandal), [[MarketBasedTitle renamed to]] ''My Hero'' (no relation with either [[Series/MyHero2000 TV series]] or with ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'') in the US and also sold as ''Gang's Fighter'', is a 1985 BeatEmUp UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame by Creator/{{Banpresto}} (then named Coreland) and Creator/{{Sega}} that was ported to the UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem one year later.

4	The game begins with karate dude [[DubNameChange Steven]]/Takeshi and his girlfriend Remy/Mari on a date when Mohikan the Punk punches Steven in the face and runs off with Remy. Steven goes through an army of punks and an obstacle course with only 3 lives and [[OneHitPointWonder 1 HP]], duels Mohikan and [[EasilyForgiven forgives him]]... Only for a TIME TRAVELLING SAMURAI to come and take Remy away!

6	The Master System version lacks this time travel twist. Instead, Steven keeps forgiving Mohikan who always responds by punching his face and taking Remy away. The game has 3 levels, after which it loops until you lose.

9	!!Tropes this game punched in the face as they were passing by:
10	* ContinuingIsPainful: There's no continuous play feature here.
11	* CoversAlwaysLie: In countries such as Brazil, the game was sold as ''Gang's Fighter'' and customers were confused by the title screen displaying ''My Hero'' instead. [[NonIndicativeTitle And Steven fights against the gang, not for them.]]
12	* DamselInDistress: Remy spends the entire game getting dragged around while Steven gives chase.
13	* EasilyForgiven: Every stage ends with Steven trying to make peace with the current villain, only for another one to take Remy away while he's distracted. This is even more stupid in the Master System port, as Mohikan is the only antagonist present.
14	* EndlessGame: It just keeps going and going until you mess up and run out of lives.
15	* GoodIsDumb: Steven keeps forgiving the folks who mess with him, hoping to reform them, in spite of them continuously kidnapping his girlfriend and running away every time he lets his guard down.
16	* HereWeGoAgain: After the Space Monkey is defeated, Mohikan reappears and restarts the cycle.
17	* InfiniteOneUps: Near the end of the first level, there are three dogs. Hit the last one in the back and you'll get an extra life; thankfully, you can do this as much as needed because they respawn.
18	* MirrorBoss: The bosses have the same attacks as Steven.
19	* {{Ninja}}: The enemies in level 2 are ninjas.
20	* NintendoHard: Enemies spawn constantly and you must also deal with difficult platforming sections. Any mistake will get Steven smashed to the ground with that dumb face.
21	* OneHitPointWonder: Steven during the levels, but not during the boss fights.
22	* TimeTravel: At the end of every stage, the next boss shows up to kidnap Remy by emerging from a giant clock of some sort, suggesting that they're traveling through time (likely indicating that the Samurai is from the past and the Space Monkey is from the future).
23	* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: Most of the enemies become ghosts and fly away after Steven hits them.
