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).

hey lunatic, bro, light imagay did this already and he failed p. badly, so i think you should reevaluate your life and choices.

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.

Barnaby is starting to defrost :D

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.

Not a bad episode. It's good that they are developing each character in turn. It'll be interesting when it comes to Sky High's turn cause so far he is represented and seen as just too overly... happy(?)

Lunatic is kinda overpowered though. He could match their speed and strength plus shoot flame bolts plus his armor suffers only a crack when hit by Tiger using his power too... I mean did you see what Tiger did to that rail track in the first episode.

But it's all still fun to watch. :D

Just had a thought...
What if Lunatic's flame is intensified if the target is "guilty" I mean its power is derived not just from pyrokinesis but from the target's moral stance?

So when he hit Tiger, Kotetsu's absolute moral integrity insured he wasn't burned like the others were who I assume were all criminals and perhaps because he wasn't mired in grief, anger, the negative emotions that also helped since I think Lunatic wasn't expecting to get hit at all!

That blow might have been more glancing and the fact it actually cracked might seem much more important as this anime series goes on.

Could Lunatic be an empath?

He was able to tell Origami from Edward at a seeming glance and a somewhat odd choice of phrase which suggests this might be the case so his power allows him to keep his opponents off their best which is why Barnaby (or should I say Burnaby?) hasn't been able to even touch him and yet and unarmored and distinctly overexuberant Tiger has managed to hit him TWICE.
The first with his grab line which he can't be said to have mastered and then that punch which he did without the protection of his body armour which makes me wonder if perhaps Lunatic has good reason to be afraid of Tiger...
