| Interesting power Origami got but yeah, no real use other then spy work. I give him cred for standing up for his old friend. Finally, more screen time for Dragon Kid. |

| I'm loving this show more each week. Definitely a sleeper show of the season. Was looking forward to finally getting an Origami episode, and this didn't disappoint. I was hoping he'd be as goofy as his superhero persona, but I liked him by the end after he got over his whining. Does anyone else look forward to hearing the title of the next episode in the awesome Engrish every week as much as I do? Funny stuff. |
| I KNEW IT WAS MR. SEAWEED HEAD!!! |
| The cheesy action during the climax bothered me-Kotetsu jumping way out in front of Bunny rather than trying to pull him aside, like he did with Edward and Origami, and not getting severe burns from Lunatic's flames(which are supposed to be really powerful) were just plain illogical. Ivan also needs to learn how to come up with a plan before rushing into action when his power is totally not suited for brute force. And wtf sweatsuit uniforms. On the other hand, the extra depth on the setting was great, plus the end parts were totally sweet. The parts where Edward spoke with Origami as he got arrested, and Yuri was shown in the Lunatic getup, weren't dramatic at all, in healthy contrast to that climax. The writing gets painfully straightforward during these dramatic, single character development sidestories, but with the same wonderful characterization, and the week long wait makes me over-think each episode. Must marathon-rewatch this when it ends for maximum enjoyment. Time to stalk pixiv for another week. Yay. IceAndCream said: I KNEW IT WAS MR. SEAWEED HEAD!!! Who didn't? Seriously. |
| He wasn't goofy like I thought that he would be, but man, that is one cool power. And lol at the fail powers that Tiger had to deal with. "You all have great smiles!"

Especially when Tiger stumbles all over it. I guess that would disappear if/when this gets an English dub. |

| TIGER AND BUNNY HELD HANDS |

busters said: TIGER AND BUNNY HELD HANDS There was alot of love friendship in this episode. I like Origami Cyclone so I'm glad he got an episode, hopefully he'll cheer up and have some more screentime next time. Bunnys Engrish ftw. |
busters said: TIGER AND BUNNY HELD HANDS T+B fujoshi bait is the best kind of fujoshi bait. I really wonder that Origami cyclone became a hero, since his power really doesn't seem suited for battle or on-air heroics. Now I know why he doesn't feature prominently in the opening combat scenes. |

| Tiger and Bunny now are really like an old married couple^^ |

herox3 said: Honestly, it's a better ability for a villain in this series. I'd throw him in covert ops but this series seems to not have any as everyone is theatrical.Shape-shifting ability is useless? He needs to learn the possibilities of that ability. God, what I can do with that ability. -grins- Barnaby is starting to defrost :D |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| shape-shifting is awesome imo, i can become a super undercover agent lol and nice that Lunatic is not part of Ouroborous, his my favorite NEXT at the moment i like his fire power that he can even use to fly |
| Oh that goggle in the preview, where have I seen one before :D |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I don't really wanna say this but somehow this time they showed a lot of gay stuff which creeps me out and also I kinda realized that the heroes power is kinda useless and wasted at the same time ! T_T |
 |
| Hehe this show is so much like the Justice League with a very contemporary setting. It's well written and the pace is amazing. This show does not bore me one bit. Tiger as the inspirational character. Pretty much Superman, Bunny is obviously an amalgam of Bruce Wayne. The nods I dig. And this show is BOOOOOOOOOOOOSTERRRRRRRRRRRR GOLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD |
| Great chara developments overall for a pretty cool episode. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I really don't see "teh gay" everyone's been talking about in this episode. Ok, maybe I do but I don't see it as a big deal. I've seen gayer things happen in other non-BL/yaoi anime. And I didn't expect Ivan to be so...mopey and emo. It kinda put a damper on his character for me but hopefully he'll become more useful later on. |
| Origami is so... pessimistic :c ..its sad yet interesting, felt like petting him anyways, yay screen time for Dragon Kid <3 lol baby with powers interesting next episode |
 |
| another great episode! Bunny is finally being less of a jerk. Tiger really is a cool guy just trying to help even though nobody gives him credit. kinda feel bad for Origami. shapeshifting can be useful as in comics (Mystique) but he just doesn't know how to help people himself. obvious about Lunatic but now when will we see Ourobouros? |
 |
| So, uh, was I the only one bothered that Lunatic was going to kill a criminal whose crime was killing a criminal? There's bad motivations and then there's just dumb. A bunch of people have brought up the spy uses for Origami Cyclone's power, which of course wouldn't be much good on Hero TV, but there's even more to work with than that. Can he only copy things he's seen exactly? Do they have to be human? Can he be giant? Mini? Hard as steel? Shift away vital points in the midst of battle? Shift back lost limbs? Can he copy muscle? I mean, we even saw him shift clothes on. Instant titanium armor or something sounds like a pretty good power. Shapeshifting is a crazy power when used properly. He definitely needs a new costume for it, though. The hero school is a neat touch, and I really like that not every Next power is useful. It fleshes out the world and adds some believability. senerikfred said: The cheesy action during the climax bothered me-Kotetsu jumping way out in front of Bunny rather than trying to pull him aside, like he did with Edward and Origami, and not getting severe burns from Lunatic's flames(which are supposed to be really powerful) were just plain illogical. Got to agree here. It was a really weird clash especially. Really hot fire equals heavy bruising and hundred fold punch just cracks the mask? |

T_T If you have a problem with 'gay stuff', then just don't look for it, and ignore other people pointing it out. Nothing in this episode was gay at all if you don't read into it that way; everything between Tiger and Bunny could be seen as friendly (or parental), and everything between Origami and Edward was just friendship fueled by Origami feeling guilty. Sure, it's obvious there's a little bit of teasing the female fans, but it's not too much. Anyway, I enjoyed this episode. Origami is cute. I wanted to hug him. I was also entertained by how insane Barnaby looked every time he smiled in the first half of the episode. Really, he looked like he was going to snap and murder everyone. I'm sure it was unintentional (lolQUALITY), but it reminded my of how I feel when I have to talk in front of people, haha.

The fire not burning I could maybe accept being handwaved by Kotetsu's power being active, but that mask would have to be made out of some really strong stuff to only crack a little bit; and if it's so strong, why does Lunatic need so many spares in his secret dungeon? |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |

Uh wasn't the one he accidentally shot the hostage? I could be wrong though, gotta watch again :P. Do note he broke out of prison and tried to murder Origami. So he was'nt exactly innocent. But yes he did kill the hostage but he didn't mean to. |
| Well, Lunatic never did say he was targeting him for the murder. That he was targeting him because he broke out of prision without atoning for the murder he committed. Though Lunatic must be bored so he can follow them even though there are plenty of people in prison though. ^_^ Eh, whatever. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| I smell mentercourse in the near future. LOL at tiger, he saved bunny and even then he cant be on the spotlight |
| huh? |

It's funny how I can actually see Sunrise feeding BL-fangirls... and I always thought I was bad at noticing stuff like that. Heh. Origami was a really cheesy character with his angsty personality but somehow it didn't bother me at all, maybe because it seemed so exaggerated. Dragon Kid next, eh? Least interesting character in my opinion but looking forward to next episode anyway. |
| I would like to mention only one thing. The Judge, Yuri Petrov, is Lunatic. This much is established in this episode. However, being the Judge, you'd think that he'd have the official government files on all the heroes... And so, we learn that Barnaby's real name ISN'T Barnaby. His real full name is...  BURNABY BROOKS JR., LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BURNABY. So unless the official files are wrong, we better call him by his real name from now on, shall we? ;) And I'd like to apologize for the QUALITY of the screenshot. |

Thats okay it clear enough to confirm your statement! So instead of Bunny we ought to call him Bernie or is that Burnie? |
Nadir said: And so, we learn that Barnaby's real name ISN'T Barnaby. His real full name is... Woah, what a twist! Nice catch! (But seriously, that's pretty hilarious... so they can't spell his name right, huh? A bit lame. Not the first time that happens in anime though. :D) |
reaght said: darkwintre said: Psajdak said: Now it is pretty much confirmed that Tiger was the one who killed Barnaby's parents when he was a member of Ouroboros. God I hope not! Dunno what your watching..... Lol, neither do I. |
| Ivan is a lot more adorable than I had expected him to be! And Bunny's 'Heh' at the end sounded... happy, rather than the usual scoffing 'heh'. It's official, even Bunny can't resist Tiger's charms. <3 busters said: Oh how I love Sunrise.TIGER AND BUNNY HELD HANDS darkwintre said: Psajdak said: Now it is pretty much confirmed that Tiger was the one who killed Barnaby's parents when he was a member of Ouroboros. I loled. Then I realised you might be serious. Or worse, that you might be right. That would be awful. |
| Poor friend. I'd be pissed to. I loved when they were all preaching different things to the students; and Tiger's reaction to the weird powers. |
| so why didn't Edward just sink himself and the two criminals into the ground? And what exactly did he think that Origami could do to help him in that situation that the cops couldn't do? Origami needs a lot more practice at using his power in a combat situation, he made it way to easy to tell who the real criminal was. I figured Lunatic had to be either involved in the hero program or hacking into its communications system (otherwise his timing couldn't have been that good for attacking the church) but I wasn't really expecting him to be the man in charge of it. I hope that school teaches a normal curriculum too, most of those people will never be heroes (unless they become cops or fire fighters or something). |
