Hell yeah, Blue Rose. Sure, there's a huge age difference but I can't help but ship Tiger/Blue Rose.

I guess he has nothing to do with Ouroboros after all.


That's going on the assumption that Ouroboros is a regular crime syndicate. I don't think so, that'd be boring... thusly I predict:

Ouroboros's purpose is to kill criminals ; however, they can't just let unsteady members leak information, so they (Lunatic) kills them. This would also make it 'interesting' in that Bunny's parents would be criminals or Ouroboros members.
It'd really be interesting if they went with that route.

However, it could just be that Lunatic has nothing to do with Ouroboros and is just wrapped up in his own brand of "justice" or whatever.


well blue rose is only a high schooler and kotetsu is in his mid 30's so thats pedophilia.

Actually the term is ephebophilia (though some would consider that splitting hairs, sorry I am a bit of a literal-ist), and she might be eighteen if she is a senior. Besides it all depends on Sternbild's laws (for most of the developed world the legal age is 14-16).

Oh my fuckin god..it's obvious that judge is lunatic..but WHAT A SURPRISE tiger & bunny don't remember his features.

/end rant


huh o.O???
what features do you mean they should remember? lunatic is hiding behind his costume

it's pretty obvious for us, the viewer. but of course NOT for them.
yah people seem to have a hard time following this concept. i rememebr people wouldnt shut up throughout star driver how no one saw past the masks even though its just suppossed to be obvious to us not the charecters. plenty of things do this its just some viewers get pretty dumb about very simple things like this


Ya Know, even in a real life situation it would be obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Star Driver Kiraboshi: yes.

Tiger and Bunny Lunatic: no.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

And the supervillain has fully been established for these superheroes complete with the classic "he killed my parents!" formula. The villain is genuinely creepy , so I'm happy about that. The setup is a bit cliche, but it works with this anime that already gives off a nostalgic feel to the masked superhero genre. Another very good episode!

lol the bad guy is so obvious. They obviously haven't heard about being subtle on this show XD

Kind of creeped out about the whole Blue Rose/Kotetsu thing. PLEASE STOP, IT IS ILLEGAL. Plus Bunny is the only one for our Tiger <33333

no doubt the judge is Lunatic, what is still to be know is how he knew at what time they were broadcasting, he knew, maybe he's got someone else in Hero TV HQ, and who was that kid that kicked Kotetsu? He remember him when he associated the "own justice" thing. Is he son of the judge? Is he a NEXT? More curious about that one, we can say Lunatic is the crazy hair dude

That supposed judge at the end seems sketchy, i think he's probably a villain.

Lunatic seems like he could be similar to Kira. Kills criminals rather than arresting them and silences all who oppose him.

Barnaby vs Lunatic was pretty intense...

I will be surprised if that judge is not Lunatic. Even his tie goes with Lunatic's flames. Talk about a whole new level of obvious.

Other then that, good episode I just wish they made it less obvious that the judge was Lunatic.

I love how this anime just show who's Lunatic immediately after his debut
And yes that judge, he didn't have the same voice at all
He's a judge so he couldn't be that bad guy

Ironically, Tiger and Bunny's abilities are so freaking weak.

Sure they get 100 times strength but they can only use it for five minutes, they can't shut it down to conserve power for when it counts. It's ridiculously flawed...

Blue Rose can consistently create ice to move, engulf, entrap, defend and attack.. Red Crimson can obliterate enemies with a huge gulf of flame and to retreat. Dragon Kid can sent a constant stream of electricity to her opponents and has wicked martial arts skills. She makes up for underwhelming power with finesse perfectly for mop up operations after the heavy units have done their job.

Lunatic can freaking shoot a barrage of explosive flames...

But the biggest weakness is the show's refusal to show the full impact of their powers... You imagine if Mohammad Ali swung a punch in your face and multiply that by even a measly 10.. Your mother wouldn't recognise you. You imagine a javelin thrower throw a steel pipe with a 100 times strength at you.. Any opponent would be helpless ants. Even with the camera on them and with the intent to arrest, a weak punch could disable any of the criminals. Instead you see Koutetsu being overwhelmed by five of them...

Now the fact that they've been jumped hundreds metres everywhere suggests that they are not holding back their power to prevent damaging their bodies..

The show is the biggest handicap for the heroes, not their abilities themselves.

Honestly, so weak. But I guess it makes for interesting show and protagonists.

A pretty eh episode overall, but it had a great ending - nice to see Tiger have a great moment that isn't played up for laughs.
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!
