| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The first half was suffering, but damn that 2nd half.. It felt great! Looks like Bunny has a new suit! ;_; I can't afford to buy more figurines! xD Maverick touching Kaede was a BIG mistake! Maybe she can undo all the mind rape... |

| fuck yeah at the ending! Wild Tiger time! also fuck yeah when Lunatic showed up. man I knew the old black guy would help him out. scared me for a sec when was driving Kotetsu around. betting money the fake Wild Tiger is just some android. how coincidental is it Kaede touched Maverick? maybe she can help undo the mindfuck? about time she realized her father was a hero though. I wanted Lunatic to place a arrow right through the head of that stupid fake Tiger. I was hoping Blue Rose would remember, she or Rock Bison would have to be the most likely to remember him. still going with the pin as the thing to help Bunny get his memory back, it has to have significance. you'd almost forget Tiger was losing his powers, even with minimal use here he shows he's not an idiot and showed great skill eluding the other heroes. |

| WAAAA!!!! SOOO AMAZING!!! Now I have to go to work! My mind is blown, NEXT ep. is going to be awesome! |
| Stop doing this to me, T&B. Stop making me so excite for the next episode. I already watch this show religiously, stop turning me into a lifeless husk for the majority of the week. A BIG sigh of relief when Ben still knew who Kotetsu was, damn! |
| I thought this show shouldn't be this great but I was wrong. xD |

| Wah.... The Hulu release was only half-subtitled...will have to wait till it's fixed or I can find a fansubbed version.... Ben had Tiger's old uniform? I'm sure he'll be happy to get back into his old classic suit! And it's cool that Lunatic can figure stuff out. Though I'd be interested to know how he figures helping Kotetsu escape is the "just" thing. (I want him to flame Maverick!) And yeah, I'm also thinking the new Wild Tiger is some robot. Zepwich said: Maverick touching Kaede was a BIG mistake! I'm hoping that he doesn't know who she is...I don't see why he would. He hasn't seen a picture of her, right? But I really freaked out when he touched her head. I was like "GET YOUR *&$(%&)$*% HANDS OFF HER!!!!" |

Zepwich said: Maverick touching Kaede was a BIG mistake! Maybe she can undo all the mind rape... AW SHIIIIIIIT! I honestly didn't even think that far! All I was worried about while watching the scene was 'holy shit please don't know she's Kotetsu's daughter and hold her hostage'. But WOW, I'm sure she'll do something to save the day in the end with Mavrick's power. AND AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Lunatic is so awesome. I really hope he isn't the antagonist in the end of the series and gets himself killed. He's so cooool. ;_____; I'm worried he'd get his ass kicked because at the end of the opening you can see him getting whooped by Tiger and Bunny's good luck mode. Hope that's all just for the opening and has nothing to do with the series itself. /cries. |
| Man, those missing subs on Hulu were really a pain. Not too much was lost in terms of dialogue but I might have to download a fansub to see what I missed. This episode turned out to be better than I expected. I figured Ben would at least recognize Tiger and everyone who guessed Lunatic would help out was dead on. It's good to know that even if he is an anti-hero he still has a sense of justice. It was also nice to see Wild Tiger back in his original suit. The stage is set for an epic shown down between the rest of the heroes and Bunny. But if this follows the usual anime tropes everyone will most likely stand down and let the two "former" partners duke it out. And they'll probably discover that the fake Wild Tiger is little more than an android. (Yeah, I'm going to say that theory seems plausible given how the fake behaved in this episode.) Or not, T&B has been full of wonderful surprises. I really hope that Kaede being touched by Maverick (and gaining his powers as a result) has some interesting significance. Like reversing said brainwashing and restoring those original memories. I'm now confident that the story with Maverick will be tied up within four episodes but the whole thing with Ouroboros probably won't be. I could see how a second season might be possible if they want to tie up the plot completely. |

| Well, I really liked this episode. Everyone who knew the truth about Kotetsu came into play. Kaede definitely has Maverick's powers now so all she has to do is avoid touching another NEXT and we're set. I was wondering who the fake Tiger was and I think everyone is right - it probably is a robot. |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| God damn, I'm sorry but the original blue suit is just too badass, I've always liked that better than his green one anyway. But Bunny's upgrade looks awesome too. I also bet this fake Tiger is a android, but the previews did show the original green armor suit, so I'm wondering if he will get his green armor back or if its another fake. Ans WTF HULU, half assed subs are half assed.....smh |
| Yes badass Tiger is back § FUCK YEAHHHHHH ! |
 |
| It took awhile, but I'm glad Kotetsu was able to figure out that he was being framed and who was doing it. As many predicted and wanted, Lunatic, Ben and Kaede came to help. But for all of this to come together in the same episode was pretty exciting. Good thing Maverick doesn't seem to sweat the small details, otherwise he would've known who Kaede was and would've had her apprehended. Haha. Oh well. The next episode is looking pretty good. Can't wait. |
 |
| As expected, obvious holes in Maverick's plan. I wonder if they will ever explain why he didn't think that far ahead or if it will just be left up to viewers to assume he didn't think it all through. The heroes have seen Wild Tiger's general facial structure and he is wearing a hero band. And he has the 100 power. These clues are pointing to something weird and I don't like that the heroes didn't stop to think about that. I was disliking the show for the past few episodes, but depending on what Maverick was intending with all this I might still say I like the first season overall. It's gonna take a really good ending for that though. |
| I finally thought up how this series could still end in a sad Sunrise-y way. You know how when Barnaby noticed a discrepancy his memories just blew up in his face leaving him with very little that makes sense. So, with all the heroes mind wiped, once they realise the flaws, their own memory banks concerning Kotetsu might get jumbled too. So, last scene of the series: Antonio walks up to Kotetsu and says, "Well, I guess we should start somewhere. My name is Antonio Lopez, nice to meet you Kotetsu." Kotetsu nods, "Well met." And so it repeats through all the heroes as they begin to rebuild their forgotten friendships, but what was lost, could never be returned as it was. So, at least that way it would be bittersweet. Think of all that lost time the most valuable thing in the world. Now that I am done being a sop... onto watching lighthearted Gintama. |
| Deleting every information about Kotetsu from the internet... is that even possible? omg, can't believe Kotsetsu can do spiderman !!! non-powerup Kotsetsu is so powerful, that wire thing is T.T I bet the fake wild tiger is the professor Saito. The voice sound like his lol |
| It was the first time I was glad to see Lunatic. And the ending simply Epic! He's gonna make them remember the real Wild Tiger! I only hope Kaede won't get herself taken hostage... |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| The old Wild Tiger suit was brilliant, I didn't see that coming! Thank goodness that Maverick doesn't know much about Tiger's history/private life, Tiger's old manager and Kaede are going to be his saviour for sure. (together with Lunatic because he knows) |
| The big problem is, his daughter probably cant return the memories to nexts, because maverick touches people when altering their memories (well, that glowy ball thing).. unless she can retain the power after touching, she'll only have one next cured (I guess bunny) |
 |
| oh my good that man is really degenerated i mean the hell ? and kaede why did you go out there alone crazy girl XD and lunatic was like wao he isn't your average hero but he does the work XD |
| Life is bittersweet can you live with that? |
| Exciting episode, though I hate seeing Tiger suffer during the 1st half. Hopefully the whole situation will be resolved in the next episode. Also, did anyone felt like Keade finding out that Wild Tiger is her father a little bit too anti-climatic? |
 |
| HELL YEAH!!! that ending was just to EPIC!!! felt sorry for him in the first half of the anime, up until the part when he met ben, it just kept on getting more epic for kotetsu!!! And nice to see lunatic being the good guy!! :p |
 |
| AWESOME episode! |
 |
| I'm curious who is the Wild Tiger impersonator... |
 |
| Best episode EVER! Was it just me or was Tiger really, really awesome in this episode? <3 Lunatic was pretty marvelous as well this episode. Kaede is gonna get in trouble, that's for sure. Probably get kidnapped aand be used as bait for something. |
| I must admit enjoying the episode, even though I still don't like how the story got to this point and the ridiculous premise (well, the Maverick Jedi Mind Trick shit anyway). |
| "Seize the time, Meribor - live now! Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again." - Captain Jean-Luc Picard. |
| Must share AWESOME MOMENT (Awesome Fanart) I love you Lunatic, You anti-Hero with a VERY strong sense of Justice and Yeah, Kaede is probably going to learn to control Maverick's Power and reverse his brain washing. |

| I thought this anime went to hell after trying to resurface the Ouroborous plot, but I was severely wrong. I see how everything fit together and I can't believe at how well it actually made itself turn out this way. Shit is just about to get epic as fuck. Calm before the storm people. |

| He almost had Blue Rose convinced there. At least she didn't shoot him. Since Lunatic is a judge and on the inside, he had access to deeper information about the heroes. Obviously he remembered who Kotetsu really was. Looks like Kotetsu's attempts to keep his family and work lives separate was a good thing. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| God I love this show ! I'm really impressed with the plot so far. We must have 2nd season for T&B ! |
 |
| Lunatic .... he made something useful for once =D The last part was epic ... all the heroes jumping from the helicopter and Tiger in his old suit =D & i dont understand why the fake tiger doesnt speak ... i mean the real tiger is noisy as hell but fake one is silent ... and i have high expectation that its a robot but at least speak! |
 |
| Brain has yet to recover from the awesomeness of the roof scene, that boss pose. Seems like the androids are still relevant, looking at that suspicious Tiger. Voice of Thanatos? Hell yeah, Lunatic delivered. And Ben is such an awesome bro. Looking forward to the next turn of events, with Kaede now unknowingly possessing Maverick's powers, the other heroes facing Kotetsu, and confrontation with Bunny in Black version coming up. Saturday, come soon. |
| A great episode. |
"Boredom is like poison." |
I am really sad I can’t comment on this series too much but at least now I will for this episode. This episode got me so T_T at the following, Kaede finding out about her dad and who he really was brought me to tears . This is truly a dream come true for a fan like me. I always wanted this and it looks like Kaede’s role will finally come true to help her dad in the next episode. Peter Petrelli would be so happy from Heroes! Kaede is a great person that inherited part of the function Peter’s powers are. I especially liked Kaede’s expressions in the spoiler The other thing was Ben and his huh!? Expression in the following,  Was great along with his cheerful one here. It was great that he helped Tiger and that Marverick missed getting his memory.
BTW some stitches I made for fun in the spoiler Cydonia said: Heck yeah! Lunatic was amazing in this episode. He knows like so much that something is wrong and going bad around.Voice of Thanatos? Hell yeah, Lunatic delivered. |

| new Tiger, old Tiger, Kaede coming to town, the gathering of Heroes... amazing eps |
| I’m thinking that as Kaede saw Kotetsu confronting his co-workers on the television, the father-daughter reunion will come sooner rather than later. She’ll probably cause quite a mess, what with all those powers in close proximity for her to copy, and I’m guessing that’s also when Maverick’s misstep of stroking Kaede’s head will strike back at him. On the other hand, it was so satisfying watching Lunatic giving a hand to Kotetsu. I think the whole house heard me when I shouted in excitement at Lunatic’s arrival. And I wonder did Lunatic burn the fake Wild Tiger? If so, and if he is a robot, won’t Rock Bison, Blue Rose and Origami question why the heck Wild Tiger’s a robot? And seriously Kotetsu, if your a wanted criminal, shouldn’t you at least get out of those conspicuous clothes your wearing lol |
| Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. |
| Despite some obvious inconsistencies in the plot and Maverick's "plan", it was entertaining. However, you have to admit Maverick is such a poor villain mastermind. His "plans" are way too simplistic and full of flaws. |
bla bla bla 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.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| That was freaking epic. These last episodes really made me wonder why the show has such a low ranking here... |
Good thing that Kotetsu's former manager is around. |
| Great episode indeed. Yeah they are lots of holes in the plot, but I find this very enjoyable right now. I can't wait to see how Kotesu gets himself out of this mess. |
