Biography
ALMIGHTY POWER IN A TINY LITTLE PACKAGE

Uberhero is a legendary Patapon, who the Patapons themselves usually just call "Hero". But recently, Hero turned to stone after he and his Patapon comrades had freed the Seven Evil Archfiends from their prison, and with the help of Silver Hoshipon, has now taken form of the Uberhero! Armed with many a skill at his disposal, he's ready to take on anybody and anything that stands in his way of finding "IT", Earthend, and any evil things that may stand in his way!

Uberhero and his friends, Ton, Chin, and Kan, are all seen walking back towards their base, a cave, while Silver Hoshipon follows them inside, all of them exchanging stories about what they'll do once they destroy the Archfiends and rid the world of evil, and Uberhero sort of complaining about all the recent things he's fought feeling too easy to take down. Silver Hoshipon then adds in that he senses something powerful coming from far, far away. He describes that it's not evil, but not good either, and suggests that it's closer in their reach than Earthend or "IT" is. Uberhero, a bit excited about this, decides to take up the offer and almost excitedly goes off on his way, Ton quickly grabbing his scarf and pulling him back, saying he should at least rest up and prepare himself for the journey. Uberhero then heads inside the barracks to prepare himself and the cutscene fades to black.

Rival
Name: Yu Narukami

Reason: Uberhero is walking around and wondering where he is, continuing on and feeling the mysterious power is close to him, only to be stopped when Yu comes up behind him, pointing his katana at Uberhero's back and wondering why he's here, convinced he's a shadow. Uberhero turns around and pushes his katana away and tells Yu that he's not what Yu thinks as a "Shadow" and tells him to be off on his way, not wanting to fight Yu and walking away while doing so. Yu then walks in front of him again and stopping him short with his katana, saying if he wants to keep going with whatever schemes he has planned, Uberhero must go through him first. Uberhero, tired of this, puts on his Taterazay mask and pulls out a sword and shield, and readies himself to fight with Yu.

Connection: Persona 4 and Patapon 3 share similar story aspects. Yu fights to not only seek out the truth of what's causing the murders in Inaba, but also to save his friends and possibly the world in doing so. In Patapon 3, the Almighty Patapon fuses with Hero from Patapon 2 (after him and the Patapon army were previously turned to stone by the Seven Evil Archfiends at the beginning of Patapon 3) to form the Uberhero, and with the help of Silver Hoshipon, resurrects three other stone Patapons in order to stop the Seven Evil Archfiends that the Patapons accidentally freed. Not only that, but later in Patapon 3, the Dark Heroes are even actually revealed to be the friends and people Uberhero once knew from previous games [RottenLee Ravenous = Gong the Hawkeye, Madfang Ragewolf = Makoton (Possibly)], vaguely similar as to how Yu saves his friends in Persona 4 by fighting their Shadow selves, who are shown as the side of Characters that they refuse to accept.

As for the video games, they also correspond with each other by all being released on handheld Sony systems, the Patapon franchise being released on the PSP and eventually added to the PS Store, and all of the Persona games being released on the PS Store, as well as getting handheld releases (coincidentally, only the first 3 games in the Persona franchise got releases on the PSP before Persona 4 Golden's release on the Vita).

Both series are also very closely related to Japanese mythology, as well. Persona's overall and main storylines is loaded with mythology, but limiting this wiki to Persona 4, there's a lot. The main storyline pretty much built upon Japanese myth about the gods Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto, and not only that, but also being able to use the Velvet Room to (eventually) fuse Personas of other gods as well (Loki, Orpheus, Odin, and Thor to name a few). And while Patapon isn't nearly as on top of Persona in terms of mythology, it still has its' moments with it as well. For example, the Patapons' designs are completely based off of those you'd see on greek dipylon vases, and their whole storyline of their history is based off of Shinto, Japan's main religion. And while Patapon 1 and 2 aren't completely history based, Patapon 3 sort of catches a ride with Persona's idea and is instead sort of based off of the myth of Pandora's Box (Zeus opening Pandora's Box and releasing seven evils into the world and finding hope, Seven Evil Archfiends being released into the world and turning it evil, Silver Hoshipon coming out to resurrect the stone Patapons) and the Seven Deadly Sins/Seven Golden Virtues. It also has similarities to Persona's various Personas, not as in having powers or Personas based on gods, but rather powerful equipment said to be used by the Patapon gods (Poseipon's Trident, Bow of Apollopon, etc.).

Ending: Uberhero returns to the hideout, with Ton, Chin, Kan and Silver Hoshipon coming outside to welcome him back. Silver Hoshipon asks Uberhero if he found the source of the power he sensed, passing it off as nothing and saying all he ran into were different and strange creatures he managed to fight off. The other Patapons get a little upset at Uberhero, hoping he'd found something on his travels, but Uberhero retorts with saying that while he may have found nothing, he certainly feels stronger after his journey, and feels like the rest of his power is also within Ton, Chin, and Kan, and says that if another evil being threatens them again, they'll be more than ready for it.
