No.  Even if "opponent removing" includes discard by the numbers, the ability for You Will Remain cannot complete until the battle has resolved, at which point there is no battle to add a Hero to.

Relevant text of You Will Remain's SA: If an opponent removes your last Hero from battle, you may remove this from the game to add your Hero to battle.

I read that as requiring the opponent to be removing your hero by a special ability.  This is phrased differently than Christ's Triumph (If your N.T. human Hero fails a rescue attempt...).  Using the phrase "removes from battle" implies that the opponent is actively making that happen instead of following normal battle resolution by the numbers.

There was a discussion about if dying by the numbers counts as opponent removing your Hero, but as Redoubter pointed out, it's irrelevant to this scenario.
