—Nitros, Bomberman Hero
Nitros is a character in the Bomberman series and a bomber base trainee who made his first and only appearance in Bomberman Hero.
Biography[]
Nitros was a young Bomber Base trainee who was brainwashed by Bagular. As a result of his brainwashed state, he has no memory of Bomberman, nor the Bomber Base. Nitros had been brainwashed by Bagular to gather the Data Disks, that could revive Bagular's body that was destroyed in Super Bomberman 3. Now brainwashed, Nitros became the leader of the Garaden Empire's soldiers and captured Princess Millian to obtain a disk that she stole from the empire, and so had to battle Bomberman multiple times for the right to own the disks. When Natia managed to get all the disks, Nitros revived Bagular and fought Bomberman one last time. Defeated and free of Bagular's control over him and his memories, he explains himself and shares his power with Bomberman, to help him defeat Bagular.

Trivia[]
- Bomberman fights Nitros in one level in each of the first 5 worlds in Bomberman Hero.
- He only has to be defeated in Garaden, as in the other times, he will escape when the time runs out.
- He learns more abilities with each battle.
- His battle stage on each planet is a checkerboard called "Adok". He always wears an eye compass in battle, which glows when he stands in some places in his battle stage, so it's probably that the eye compass is the source of his battle stage-based attacks.
- Because of this, Nitros may have some connection with the Adok Bombs that appear throughout the game.
- He was the only one who was redeemed after he has been defeated 5 times and broke free out of Garaden's control.
