DS"'''HERO'''" ({{Ruby|ＨＥＲＯ|ヒーロー}} ''Hīrō'') is a group of five [[archetype]]s introduced in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''. In the anime, [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] uses "[[Elemental HERO]]" and "[[Neo-Spacian]]" monsters, [[Aster Phoenix|Aster]] uses "Elemental HERO" and "[[Destiny HERO]]" monsters, and Jaden as [[The Supreme King]] uses "Elemental HERO" and "[[Evil HERO]]" monsters. In the manga, Jaden uses "Elemental HERO" and "[[Masked HERO]]" monsters while Aster uses "[[Vision HERO]]" monsters.FASDFASDAt first they were divided into "Elemental HERO", "Evil HERO" and "Destiny HERO", "Masked HERO" and "Vision HERO", but later they shifted towards unification of the five archetypes.FSDAFDSFFDAnce Cards whose text specifically reference this unification include "[[Elemental HERO Stratos]]", "[[Elemental HERO Ocean]]", "[[Elemental HERO Divine Neos]]", "[[Evil HERO Infernal Prodigy]]", "[[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]]", and "[[HERO's Bond]]", where the effects are based on cards present on the field whose names contain "HERO", allowing them to be used with "Elemental HERO", "Evil HERO", "Destiny HERO", "Masked HERO", and "Vision HERO" monsters.
The Japanese cards use 「{{Ruby|Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ|エレメンタルヒーロー}}」, 「{{Ruby|Ｅ－ＨＥＲＯ|イービルヒーロー}}」, 「{{Ruby|Ｄ－ＨＥＲＯ|デステニーヒーロー}}」, 「{{Ruby|Ｍ・ＨＥＲＯ|マスクドヒーロー}}」 and 「{{Ruby|Ｖ・ＨＥＲＯ|ヴィジョンヒーロー}}」 at the start of their names so only those five would work with 「{{Ruby|ＨＥＲＯ|ヒーロー}}」. Note that "Elemental HERO" and "Evil HERO" use 「Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ」 and 「Ｅ－ＨＥＲＯ」, and their furigana is different: "Elemental HERO" monsters have 「エレメンタルヒーロー」 and "Evil HERO" monsters have 「イービルヒーロー」.
