A person, typically in relation to multiplayer video games, who thinks a losing team only need to think positively to win. They tend to say “I won’t give up!” Or “No guys, I believe we can win!”
“I was playing League of Legends last night, one teammate would not vote yes to ending early despite us losing hard.”
“Sounds like they thought themselves a hero of the anime.”

A term originally coined by SPC Groth while deployed in eastern Afghanistan. He used the term to describe a soldier who was covered in his own blood and tears. It then caught on to most of the camp in the following weeks. Songs were written about it, etc.
LT - Has anyone seen Wheeler?
Groth - Yea, he's up that staircase. He's bleeding out and crying; it's a real hero's mess up there.
(The name above, 'Wheeler' has been changed from the original name of the soldier)
