 |
| This episode = EPIC! Oh man, I hope Origami will be fine. Ouroboros is serious about this whole NEXT society thing, huh? Cliffhangerz!!!1! |
   |
| I hope Origami doesn't get roasted.... Jake, your haircut is HIDEOUS The mayor's the guy who's kid was babysat before, right? Didn't know he was such a squealy guy. |
| Fuck all this...where is the damn Judge, I swear I want him to come in and roast the shit out of all these bastards right now, fuck doing whats right, do whats needed lol |
| YAY!!! Honestly not as good an episode as others, but this was just another build up. NEXT one looks promising. Jake's power, from what he showed us in the prison is pretty dangerous, I look forward to seeing it's full potential. So wait another week for the action to really swing in. |
Babels said: lame situation is lame. They already had one of the ouroboros guys...all they had to do was trace the video feed and snipe that lady and they'd be done. Taking a whole city hostage is ridiculous...she's way overpowered. Not only that, but when they fought the robots it didn't even seem like they were trying...totally lame. If the superheroes are so pathetic, then why are they the only ones protecting the city? The whole thing seems really contrived. Same could be said of a ton of anime out there where characters take dumb decisions for the sake of plot. But here is something worth keeping in mind: - Heroes can't kill people (including criminals) - Heroes cant move without the sponsors/HeroTV approval. - They are not sure how they are controlling the suits, so they don't know that killing her will make things better or worst. - They prioritize to keep people out of harms way than killing the robots, therefore they cant go all out on them. I do agree that both, villains and anti-heroes, powers are way better in comparison to the Hero squad, but that's what makes things fun ; ) |
| huh? |
| Anyone know if there are DDLs for this episode around? Having some PC issues and Hulu is being way too buggy |
"taj69" said: Probably because, that would make this a really boring story. This isnt the news, its storytelling. 90% of the demographic who watch this don't care about one single detail in the entirety of the plot. Sorry, but in order to sell bacon, its all about the sizzle, not the nutrition. Nobody buys organic bacon. That is exacly the point. Plotholes are everywhere, in almost every movie and ppl still love them. And anyway infiltrating the bad guy's liar makes a lot of sense, you think killing one small fry (the lady) would stop whole organisation's scheme? Also, is it me or the whole debate on what to do is Afganistan/Iraq methapore... with the president being black and all.... or am I reading too much in it? |

Babels said: There is also the army but a normal human fighting with NEXTs would be like suicide don't you think?If the superheroes are so pathetic, then why are they the only ones protecting the city? The whole thing seems really contrived. The superheroes here are trained for casual petty crimes where NEXTs are involved. Now if you push them to fight something on a large scale like terrorism, of course they would look pathetic. Superheroes being flawless is just so stupid. Damn why was I typing NEET instead of NEXT? XD Anyho, Jake's quiet cool (and he is clever for a change) and he seems to have two different powers till now. The eye thing and the blood turning into ink. |

| What the hell is Lunatic up to during all this? |
Paiguy said: What the hell is Lunatic up to during all this? ye, it seems that he is the only NEXT that has power that is as powerful or even more as jake's! I'm pretty sure that he'll make a badass entrance! taj69 said: Probably because, that would make this a really boring story.

| it's good to know that people haven't forgotten about lunatic yet! it'd be nice to see him fight alongside the others. b/c then he'll really stand out.... lmao, tiger's tamed the shit out of bunny now, wow. they've come a long way. ; w ; taj69 said: Sorry, but in order to sell bacon, its all about the sizzle, not the nutrition.

| That was a great episode and all but some of the art was screwed up. I hope this will get fixed on the BD. |
| So I wonder if Maverick does have something to do with Ourabouros (goddamnit I can never spell their name properly...), considering the coincidences that happened previously. He didn't seem to be acting suspiciously this episode, though. Yay for Barnaby/Kotetsu moments hurhurrrr 8D;; Zepwich said: That was a great episode and all but some of the art was screwed up. I hope this will get fixed on the BD. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. D: |

The only hole in plot/logics what's bugging me a bit is how the heroes seems to be the only ones protecting the city... where is the normal police etc.? But I do admit, it's much more interesting this way. Next episode should be really good. |

If we assume that to be true, then that would mean Obama is a pussy and it's actually the people behind him the ones that do all the job, he being just the 'face'. But yeah, epic episode is epic! |

| mostly a set up episode. wow that is the most useless mayor ever. he sits there and can't make any decisions what a coward. Origiam is in trouble. what of Lunatic? he's not gonna do anything for a while? |
 |
| Interesting turn of events. As it was a heavily script-centered episode, it was not as great as the latter or the next one though. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| The animation was disappointing considering this series usually has a high standard. Very intense buildup in the story, though. |
| Eat some steak and scoot up to bed~ |

Elementan said: Don´t worry they will Is this official? Because I am BUYING the DVDs, more shows should do this, it'll sell more I think. Could you imagine if they did this with say, Shippuden or Gintama? The DVDs would be amazing. |
| I believe Origami will be okay, after all if he doesn't he won't gets his BIG KISS. damn, I'm definatley getting the DVD of this. On an awesome and awesome note looks like Sky Highs going to flaunt it in the next episode. |
| kinda nice seeing Origami powers going to good use. |
| please don't die origami :( |
 |
| What was with Lunatic's smirk when Bunny agrees with Kotestsu as they barged into the meeting? I hope he plays a part in this fiasco. Lunatic is final villain material, but I hope the execution is nothing boring, like he ends up killing Jake preventing Bunny from interrogating him or something. Either way, I love how Bunny has completely softened up. <3 And I love this show a little too much. |
| The bacon IS sizzling. No, i see a few, more like one, plot hole but the normal police can't do much against giant armored robots. That's army level - of course the army should be there but... The press conference got my blood boiling - theres no better guilty pleasure of mine than revealing big secrets and motivating a crowd. |
| Hope Origami survive(or at least somebody save him) !! |

Snowley said: Also, is it me or the whole debate on what to do is Afganistan/Iraq methapore... with the president being black and all.... or am I reading too much in it? You are definitely reading too much in it because i fail to see the resemblance. If a single guy being of the same color makes you think that, you are really going way overboard. Besides the guy isn't even a president. Klownzie said: If we assume that to be true, then that would mean Obama is a pussy and it's actually the people behind him the ones that do all the job, he being just the 'face'. I don't know about the pussy thing but the fact that his just a "face" isn't far from the truth at all actually. Politicians have too many powerful people pushing them around since most of they times they are the ones who put them there in the first place. Reality is even worse actually because the guys behind them aren't even some good guys thinking of the good of people like that old guy with the glasses but the scum of the earth. Babels said: lame situation is lame. They already had one of the ouroboros guys...all they had to do was trace the video feed and snipe that lady and they'd be done.

If the superheroes are so pathetic, then why are they the only ones protecting the city? The whole thing seems really contrived. Please use your mind because you are going for facepalm overload. If your assumptions are based on the way your logic works i have bad news for you. Your logic sucks!!! The only thing that needs thinking is why don't they make a plan to eliminate the power suits if that's the only thing that holds the city hostage. Is not like the columns have bombs that will explode if they try to stop them. It just those robot power-suit things that we already saw they can fight against so why don't they just destroy them. I guess the only logic is that there are too many of them there and they can't fight and protect the columns at the same time without failing to lose most of the columns and have the city in danger. I disagree with the opinion that the episode wasn't as good as others. Just because there wasn't a lot of fighting it doesn't mean it wasn't good. There where a lot of intense events going on and the plot developed thoroughly. |

| The army can't get there because they cut every access to the city. They could fly there, but they would be in the same situation as the heroes. There are just too many enemies and people in danger. That's the whole point of using the population as hostages instead of just storming the prison and getting Jake out. They have a huge leverage in the negotiation. About sniping the girl, she wasn't out in the open until she went to pick up Jake. And they don't know she is the one controlling the robots. We know because as viewers we have more info. They showed us that she controls the bears, but Tiger and the others aren't watching. For all they know, sniping her could make Ourobouros destroy the city. Origami's power is the single power that shouldn't be made public. Transforming into people is much less useful when everybody knows you can do it. |
| Good buildup. Looks like Origami's screwed next ep. And that Jake sure has hell of a power. |
| I'm so worried about Origami. I hope Jake didn't really see right through his disguise and it's just a huge coincidence that he's reading about Origami. Jake doesn't know that Red Indian guy (i forgot his name) well so Origami can just act the way he wanted. Unless the girl is there she might suspect something... Origami could've worked harder on his acting skills DX. I mean the first time he helped his friend Edward, his lame acting skills gave away. Lunatic was right about him, what kind of wrong-doer is brave enough to admit his crimes?? tbh half of me wants to see Origami dead cos it'll leave some kind of impact to the heroes (inb4 Madoka Magica), although I love him. Well, he's adorable when he's all nervous @ . @ Tiger is hilarious XD. and Bunny helped finishing is sentence is soooo freakin' cute! Good to see their relationship getting lovelier <3 |
| Ahhh Origami! D; Looks like Jake found out about him ... still don't know what his ability is though, although it just seems uber powerful O_O Also, Barnaby helping Kotetsu finish his sentences was awesome lol XD Seemed mostly like a setting up episode though, but pumped for the next one!! :D |
| Haha, aweomse, Keiji Fujiwara voicing Jake. Ali Aal Sachez, Matsunaga Hisahde, Ladd Russo...now I know, that Jake has to be some kind of awesome psycho villain :D Can´t wait to see what he´ll do...though as everyone, I hope Origami gets his job done, first time in his life that his powers are good for something, would suck if his moment to shine would be taken away. |
Babels said: But why take the whole city hostage? Why not just nab some random people? Heck, in this show she could take the prisoners in jail hostage. Two reasons. If they only nabbed a few random people the heroes could've saved them. The whole idea behind using everybody as hostages is that even if they can save some of them, they can't save everyone. This gives the terrorists a huge leverage in the negotiation. Babels said: If the people making this thought that heroes and politicians sitting around would be so exciting, they should have thought of a more creative way to do it. Babels said: The premise of the series is 'what would happen if heroes really existed', which is why the rampant commercialization is accepted. Sure, stories often come up with wild and ridiculous stuff to generate drama. So the premise of the show is what would happen if heroes really existed. Why exactly having super powered terrorist doesn't fit the premise? In fact, it is an immediate result of the premise. If there are super heroes, there are super villains. T&B tries to be more realistic and makes them act like real terrorists, instead of just going around being evil. Also, politicians sitting around and heroes on standby is also realistic. Would you expect them to just barge into a terrorist's den while risking the hostages? |
| another great, epic episode!! i only wish that origami is fine!!! =S |
| This was really all build up, but I still found it exciting. I was honestly getting annoyed with the wishy~washy faffing about by the city's leadership, so seeing Tiger and Bunny show up give them a good (though choppy) scolding was indeed in order. It's a good thing too, because this Jake Martinez seems like a real murderous psychopath. And how stupid was it for them to send one moron into the city's headquarters to move things along? Well, almost as stupid as it is that this idiot be allowed to waltz into a room with all the city's leadership with a gun. Oh well, it worked out in the end. Come on Origami Cyclone! You're the only fair shot this city has right now!  |
 |
| Uhm, if Jake is so powerful why couldn't he just break free on his own? How did they even capture him in the first place? :/ Plot hole much. IVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN :O |
| Many plot holes, no? I still like this show much anyways, just a curious question? why did Jake seem naked in his prison cell? I found it a bit disturbing. |
| 夜露死苦 http://mochichandiscoversjapan.wordpress.com/ Visit my Japan adventures' blog. =3 |
| Well, that was entertaining as usual, but I hope this gets even better. Damn, I also hope Origami is fine. |
yamakasi said: Apparently Mr. Legend captured him, based on the profile report from a few eps ago. Why ccouldn't he just break out? Well of course they'd have known of his powers, so they probably kept him in that room the whole time, where his powers would be useless.Uhm, if Jake is so powerful why couldn't he just break free on his own? How did they even capture him in the first place? :/ Plot hole much. IVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN :O |
