Japanese Reactions to The Hero from Dragon Quest in Smash Bros Ultimate 

I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I'm fluent in HYPE. Let's go!!

For context on why this was big in Japan, Dragon Quest is their national game.

Americans may not have cared for the Hero at first, but I think over time, the Hero's inclusion in Smash helped Dragon Quest grow in popularity in the West.

SAKURAI-SAN, DAISUKI!

The best part is many of the Japanese reactions I’ve seen were excited about Banjo-Kazooie too so they got two fan favourites back to back.

I'm surprised how much of a weeb I've become to understand what they're saying.

Y'all if you didn’t played Dragon Quest...it’s your time...y’all need to discover this beauty!

IDK who the raptor guy is.... but I need to follow him immediately.

The way they knew it was Hero the moment they heard the overture reminded me of when Maximillian Dood knew it was Cloud in his trailer the moment he heard the opening notes of the train theme.

we all japanese gamers know the bgm of dragon quest even some never played before.

Americans: "Who cares about dragon quest!?"

i really feel that guy going "Sakurai, i love you" at

Japanese fans are on other level, they even have velociraptor streamers

"Volume warning"

I love that the hype started when the DQ theme started playing.
