'''Heroes''' is a group of six [[Archetype]]s introduced in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. '''Hero''' cards are noted by 「<ruby><rb>ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>ヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」 in the card's Japanese name. In the anime, [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] uses Elemental Heroes and [[Neo-Spacians]] (sub-archetype of Elemental Heroes), [[Aster Phoenix|Aster]] uses Elemental Heroes and Destiny Heroes, and Jaden as [[The Supreme King ]] uses Elemental Heroes and Evil Heroes. In the manga, Jaden instead uses Elemental Heroes and Masked Heroes, while Aster uses Vision Heroes.
Initially divided into "[[Elemental Heroes]]", "[[Evil Heroes]]" and "[[Destiny Heroes]]" they shifted towards unification of the three archetypes and later added 2 more; "[[Masked Heroes]]" and "[[Vision Heroes]]".
The Japanese cards use 「<ruby><rb>Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>エレメンタルヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」, 「<ruby><rb>Ｅ－ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>イービルヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」, 「<ruby><rb>Ｄ－ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>デステニーヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」, 「<ruby><rb>Ｍ・ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>マスクドヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」 and 「<ruby><rb>Ｖ・ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>ヴィジョンヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」 at the start of their applicable cards, so only those five would work with 「<ruby><rb>ＨＥＲＯ</rb><rp>(</rp><rt>ヒーロー</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>」. Note that '''Elemental Hero''' and '''Evil Hero''' use 「Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ」 and 「Ｅ－ＨＥＲＯ」, and their furigana is different: '''Elemental Heroes''' have 「エレメンタルヒーロー」 and '''Evil Heroes''' have 「イービルヒーロー」.
The Korean cards use "히어로" to indicate Heroes. Elemental Heroes and Evil Heroes are denoted by "엘리멘틀 히어로" and Destiny Heroes are denoted by "데스티니 히어로". How ever, "엘리멘틀" doesn't mean "Elemental", it is translated to "Elrimenteul". The real translation would be "엘리멘탈". And further, the only card that shows "Evil Hero" translated into Korean proper is "[[Evil Hero Inferno Wing]]" and only in the [[Card_GalleryCard Gallery:Evil_Hero_Inferno_WingEvil Hero Inferno Wing|Ultra Rare-Versionversion]] of this card. So the proper translation of "Evil Hero" is "이블 히어로".
In English and other languages, they have since changed the text to allow only [[Destiny Hero|Destiny Heroes]] es and [[Elemental Hero|Elemental Heroes]] es to work with these related card effects. Most cards still need to be updated with the release of the "[[Evil Heroes]]" to include them. "[[Elemental Hero Stratos]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Ocean]]" have been errata'd to support each type of Hero.
In the 50th chapter of the GX manga, the "[[Masked Heroes]]" and "[[Vision Heroes]]" make their debut.
