The unused Wonder Boy protagonist from Monster World IV. There's been discussion on him possibly showing up in a sequel someday and at one point, he was even playable in the original game! But due to size limitations on the Sega Genesis, he was cut and they went with Asha, making her the first solo female protagonist in the saga. He technically could have been playable if they cut Asha's animations in half, but then we wouldn't have the super expressive cutie we do today, now would we?
It was also confirmed in a recent interview with series creator, Ryuichi Nishizawa that his name is spelled "Yusha" instead of "Eusha" as we've been calling him for so long (same pronunciation however)! His name means "Hero".
We hope fans of the series and newcomers alike support the Wonder Boy games so that we continue to receive new entries! We're all counting on you!
