**Chosen Heroes** ｢勇者, *yūsha*, lit. "Brave One"｣ are the counter-parts to Demon Lords, an existence that only those who have the blessing of an Elemental of either Light or Darkness can obtain.

As is the case with Demon Lords, Chosen Heroes can be divided into those who are known as Chosen Hero in "Name" only or those who are Chosen Heroes as a "Class".

## Hero as a Class

### Chosen Hero's Egg

**Chosen Hero's Egg** ｢勇者の卵, *yūsha no tamago*｣ refers to those who obtain the blessing of an Elemental of Light or Darkness as well as the Elemental Queen. The Chosen Hero's Egg is the equivalent of the Demon Lord Seed.

### True Chosen Hero

**True Chosen Heroes** ｢真なる勇者, *shin'naru yūsha*｣ or **The One who Hatched the Chosen Hero's Egg** ｢勇者の卵が孵った者, *yūsha no tamago ga kaetta mono*｣, are those who hatched the Chosen Hero's Egg by merging with their Elemental and becoming Awakened. True Chosen Heroes are the equivalent of a True Demon Lord.

### Former Chosen Hero

**Former Chosen Heroes** ｢元勇者, *moto yūsha*｣ are individuals who have lost their classification as a Chosen Hero. They can lose their Title when their Elemental leaves them, which will happen if it deems them unworthy of still being a Chosen Hero, or the elemental is removed by external factors. Former Chosen Heroes will lose the strength granted to them by their Elemental, however as awakened beings they are still very powerful. It is seemingly possible for Former Chosen Heroes to restore their status if they regain their blessing.

## Chosen Hero in Name

Anyone can proclaim themselves a Chosen Hero, or be recognized by the masses as a Chosen Hero. In either case this "puts fate into motion" and causes this Chosen Hero in name only to eventually have some sort of predestined connection with a Demon Lord that is unavoidable, though it does not necessarily have to be a hostile relationship.

## Trivia

* Chloe Aubert is the only Chosen Hero who ever obtained and hatched two Hero's Eggs because of her incredible circumstances.
* In the English translations, Chosen Hero is often mixed up with "Hero" because both these terms are usually translated as "Hero". This has sometimes caused Heroes in the English translation of the series to be mixed up with Chosen Heroes. Likewise the term **Heroic King** ｢英雄王, *eiyū-ō*｣ also refers to Heroes, not Chosen Heroes.
