A simulated version of HERO is an enemy exclusive to the console versions of OMORI. He is fought alongside AUBREY and KEL as the penultimate opponents of the special BOSS RUSH event that can be done with BASIL on ONE DAY LEFT of the OMORI ROUTE.
STORY
If the BOSS RUSH simulation was attempted at least once, the player has the option to interact with BASIL to initiate a special version of the event. From there, the group suggests that BASIL should try out the BOSS RUSH with OMORI as his partner for the entire run. Along with that, KEL secretly tells BOSS to program simulated versions of himself, AUBREY, and HERO into the event. Inspired by KEL's idea, MARI also tells BOSS to program a hologram of herself while keeping it a secret from everyone else other than KEL.
After OMORI and BASIL defeat HUMPHREY in the event, the holograms of the three friends appear as a part of the final opponents for the simulation. While AUBREY and HERO express shock at this sight, KEL tells the two to not worry as these versions aren't as strong as them. MARI then cheers on both OMORI and BASIL as the match begins.
Note that if the player loses against the friends, they can still retry the penultimate match against the hologram friends as many times as they want until finally defeating them. Speaking to any of OMORI's friends upon losing the first time around prompts special dialogue from them. Regardless, defeating the three simulations will advance OMORI and BASIL to the final match of the simulation.

.
*Unlike most enemy skills, these skills require JUICE to be used and cost the same amount as they would when used by the player.
AI
| SKILL | BEHAVIOR | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On the first turn, HERO will use DAZZLE on all targets. The next turn, HERO will use a random skill on a target, regardless of his current EMOTION state. On the third turn, HERO gives KEL COFFEE, which increases the latter's SPEED by three tiers and recovers 10% JUICE. Afterwards, HERO will now use most of his skills at a random percentage. | ||||
| SKILL | NOTES | EMOTION | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEUTRAL | HAPPY | SAD | ANGRY | ||
| COOK | HERO makes a cookie just for ______! | 45% | 45% | 45% | 45% |
| ATTACK NO ACS | HERO attacks _____! | 20% | 20% | 20% | 20% |
| (CALL AUBREY) ATTACK* | HERO calls AUBREY. AUBREY attacks _____! | 25% | 25% | 25% | 25% |
| (CALL KEL) ATTACK* | HERO calls KEL. KEL attacks _____! | 25% | 25% | 25% | 25% |
| SMILE | HERO smiles at _____! | 30% | 35% | 30% | 30% |
| SPICY FOOD | HERO cooks some spicy food! | 35% | 45% | 35% | 45% |
| DAZZLE | HERO smiles at _____! | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
From the fourth turn and onwards, HERO will utilize each one of these skills at a random percentage. These usually depend on the skill he selects for his next move and his current EMOTION state. Each calculation is done independently from the previous ones, so the added percentage is not 100%.
*Only used if more than two enemies are active.

TRIVIA
- There exists a draft placeholder image for HERO in the "Enemies" folder of the console version's files. This is the same with the other console-exclusive bosses.
- In the game's data, HERO is referred to as HERO BOSS or simulation hero.
- HERO's battle sprite shows him wielding the FRYING PAN weapon.
- HERO shares the same battle background with AUBREY, KEL, BOSS, SNALEY's first two encounters, and ANGEL.
- HERO's skills such as his SPICY FOOD and DAZZLE functions the same as his playable character variant.
- HERO has three unused skills in the game's data, titled MESMERIZE, FAST FOOD, and HOMEMADE JAM. It is unknown why all three are not used at all in HERO's moveset.
- MESMERIZE: Presumably functions the same as the one used by the playable character. Data lists the skill as targeting one enemy.
- FAST FOOD: HERO acts first and gives an ally a snack to recover 40% of their HEART. The damage output is listed as 1000 via “HP Recover”.
- HOMEMADE JAM: Brings back an TOASTED ally with 50% of their max HEART.
- HERO, AUBREY, and CAPT. SPACEBOY are the only characters with two variants of their boss fights, with HERO's other variant being BOSSMAN HERO.
- If a target had any third-tier emotion, HERO would use the MASSAGE skill to remove said emotion according to the game's code. However, this skill ends up becoming unused as its scope is actually 1 Ally.
- Due to HERO always using COFFEE on his ally with the highest SPEED stat, using OMORI's TRIP FOLLOW-UP on KEL will cause him to instead use it on AUBREY.
