"Hero" is a title a person gets for performing an act of true heroism. Zen implies you get it by going past the limit of life and death, but Satou proves you don't need to do that. You simply need to perform an act of heroism so impressive in the eyes of the gods that they acknowledge you as a "Hero". Satou gets this title by fighting the Black Demon and slaying it. The Saga Empire Heroes all start with this title when they are summoned. The Hero title gives the user the right to wield Holy Swords without damage, and produce flowing blue light when swinging them.

True Heroes are Heroes that suceed in killing a Demon Lord. The goal of all the Saga Empire Heroes is to kill the Demon Lord, get the True Hero title, and then they get sent home. However, "local Heroes", that is Heroes who are granted their titles without being summoned, will simply get the title once they kill a Demon Lord. Satou gets this title after he slays the Golden Wild Boar King.

Hero King is a title a person gets when they are both a King and have the Hero title. The quickest way to get this is for a Hero to control a nations' Core, as that is the sign of being a King. Satou gets this title by taking over the Parion State's City Core.
