ItsSoPringles said: I know, that's why I said that doing the maths he could also be 29. But we don't know when he actually got into his hero job so nobody can know for sure at this point. If you assume that he became a hero straight after high school then he's somewhere between 28~30. If he entered the job after then he could be older as well.CG said: hes defently in the early 30's or 29ish, plus him and rock bison went to the same highschool and were in the same grade so keep a eye out for rock's age cause it will also tell us kotetsu'sNah, if we do some math, he's in his 30s, like 31-35 at max. His daughter is 9 and it was stated somewhere before he's been 10 years into superhero business. It is also unclear whether you become a hero just because you want to or by some other method, which doesn't help in speculating at what age he became one. By the way, him and Rock Bison got to know each other during that time, but they didn't go to the same high school - listen to the first drama CD. |

(But nevertheless, I don't mind a new one either)Oh, and who else is looking forward to the new ending theme? I am! I doubt there will be a second opening, maybe, but probably not, I love the current theme song. Dxx said: I lol'd. True enough.Also Lunatic could be the lead Belmont for the next Castlevania. Also speaking about "lol what is this", did you guys notice the amusing preview scene? (Sorry about the bad screenshot, I'm not at home) |

| Kotetsu <3 And useless mayor is useless. Gosh, how was he ever elected? I'm glad Jake was defeated! I thought they'd let him escape and drag it out more, but the fact that they resolved it quickly and neatly shows how clearly superior this show is to tons of other shows. I loved how Kotetsu tricked Jake and Bunny, but if Jake really can read minds how did he not find out about it? Guess Tiger blocked his thoughts or sth Woohoo Kotetsu/Karina scenes next week. I'm stoked. |

Amaya-no-Hime said: I loved how Kotetsu tricked Jake and Bunny, but if Jake really can read minds how did he not find out about it? Guess Tiger blocked his thoughts or sth In my opinion, his mind-reading power is limited in distance - he didn't show any sign of noticing Kotetsu was there at all. So he read Barnaby's thoughts when he jumped down in the arena again but couldn't read Kotetsu's mind. |

| BTW, when you look at the city from the top... doesn't it kinda look like the Oouboros sign? |
|
| Okay now that Jake is gone, what's next do they go back to Lunatic or they going to show a new villain later ? |
 |
| Ah, Tiger totally tricked us all! At first I was like ... NO, TIGER, THAT'S NOT IT!!! OTL Ahaha glad to see he came through though :3 PLUS COME ON SERIOUSLY, OMG THE BARNABY AND KOTETSU MOMENTS I WAS LIKE .... this is CANON gaiz O_O Well it looks like Blue Rose is gonna be a big part of next week's episode. I am excited :3 |

| I come bearing spoilerific gifts of the next episode! This image is from a midseason promo vid @ http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm14863521  What I can get from the file next to the trio picture: "B.T.B." Objective To utilise Blue Rose, ... and Wild Tiger and Barnaby... to draw in new viewership... as well as expand the fan demographic... Improving the public image of their companies... Target Audience Nationwide audience both young and old... Marketing Strategy Advertisements.... Campaigning... Presales... B.T.B.... Apa???... Looks like what we saw in the original promo posters of Blue Rose, Tiger, and Bunny, the three really end up coming together as a team. Guess this will offer the new team drama especially since that promo video made T&B seem extremely buddy buddy Rose will be the new Tsun Tsun angst the team needs to reestablish itself. Also, on close examination of the video, Blue Rose is in fact riding in the passenger seat of the T&B mobile, seems she usurps Tiger's spot and he just has to run as the third wheel lol. And below are two partial translation of the video: #1 Kotetsu and Barnaby guests of a TV program because they have resolved a lot of criminal affairs thanks to perfect team work (that is what is happening between ep 13 and 14) Kotetsu having a power up and his powered suits reacting by going berserk (running too fast etc) Nobody understands what is happening to him, we see that Blue Rose feels like crying and then there is this last sentence from Kotetsu: 'Are you telling me to stop being a hero?' #2 Seems like Tiger isn't as zooming fast anymore.. adding: > There is a 10 month timeskip. > And so, the new story of the two heroes who became the best of partners is about to begin! New problems will stand on their way! The birth of despair! The awakening of hope! > (TV program) Barnaby: all our successes were because of Tiger's support. > (TV program) Tiger: What are you talking about! You're the one who is working so hard. > (after he is unable to control his running speed) Tiger: Hu? That surprised me. What is happening to me? > It seems the Angry Eyes Ranger knows Kotetsu. > Last sentence from Kotetsu: 'Are you telling me to stop being a hero?'. This is all from Animesuki courtesy of user -KarumA-. Oh, and the video, for those who can't view it, has a new song that may or may not be the opening for the second half. Also there are new people in hero suits in the HeroTV studio, could mean that they are making groupings now as the new standard since Tiger & Bunny were a hit. So everyone, discuss away, there is a lot to talk about here. |

| Finally, Tiger was cool. But I wouldn't count on him getting praised in the series. They'll keep treating him like that. Maybe on the finale he can get some love. But until then... I think Lunatic will be the new villain. Jake was Bunny's villain and Lunatic is Tiger's. They'll clash because they have different views on justice. But I might be wrong. What I'd love to see is an anime in the same setting, but with NEXT doing investigation and not acting all flashy. I mean, if you get Origami and the three girls that could smell money, danger and lies, you can do A LOT. |
| Oh, here's the midseason recap + second half sneak peek that I mentioned above. |
AstuteOtakuJun 28, 2011 7:36 AM
| Thanks for midseason recap. I'm shipping tigerxbluerose. I've known several couples with a much larger age differential (including a couple of teacher/former student pairings), so I don't think it's out of the question at all. (and I'm not even going to go into such hollywood pairings as Ashton/Demi, Bogart/Bacall, or Sinatra/Mia Farrow) I think the BTB rating booster plan is actually to create an artificial love triangle between the three without anyone realizing how Bluerose really feels. |
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 |
rodac said: I think the BTB rating booster plan is actually to create an artificial love triangle between the three without anyone realizing how Bluerose really feels. I would totally not put this past Agnes and the directors, after all they are trying to attract a wider untouched audience (soap opera housewives and teen romance junkies maybe?). Oh wow that would cause a lot of drama for all of them, now I'm wanting this to happen, and no real romance needs to take place, this would just be so straining, I want to see this happen. |
| jake got OWNED! nice episode enjoyed alot :) |
| Tiger x Blue Rose? ew. no. not becos of the age gap or the fact that Tiger is already a dad but... Blue Rose cannot see right through him. All the time. and that already gave me the impression that Blue Rose can NEVER be with Tiger. Geez, female characters are always a nuisance especially if they're useless or tsundere-ish. You can call me bias cos I'm all for Tiger x Bunny, but if Blue Rose is for Tiger than she needs to have that X-factor or the dynamic with the older man that could make me go "i don't mind this hetero pairing for once'. As of now, I see Tiger as a father figure for Blue Rose. |
| Tiger used the method "to fool your enemy u must first fool your alliance" and it worked haha, Jake lost due to his own over confidence of announcing he has a second power now this makes me think the very ending could be Tiger or Bunny use his awaken secend power to defeat Lunatic, or who ever the final boss is next eps Rose x Tiger? i prefer Agnes x Tiger |

SO TRUE. I was obviously fangirling too. |
Just wanted to post this official poster here... It looks like they become a real team in the second half of the series since this is official merchandise. Love Karina in casuals... this picture just has such a serene feel to it, like they eventually learn to mesh into a team... I am so looking forward to the next 12 episodes. (Oh, and I think the poster might not have been officially released yet, because Sunrise has been taking this down right and left... leak perhaps?) |

| Best episode, ever. |
 |
| That was an outstanding little story arc. When you're going up against such an unfair combination or powers (barriers AND mind reading), then a little trickery is in order. I knew Barna-- NO! I'm not calling him that. I knew BUNNY wasn't gonna kill Jake, but I do wish he had done more than broken a rib or two. Oh well, Bunny is a big time hero because of this, Jake is no more and Tiger is still the motherf*cking MAN! Tiger's revelation was smoothly and convisingly pulled off, so that was icing on the cake. Halfway through the series I've yet to have any real problems with it. Every episode feels heartfelt, the action is good, the animation is smooth (even when incorporating the CGI) and Blue Rose is HAWT. Second cour don't let me down, because I love this show. Also, if Tiger ends up hooking up with Blue Rose... I would be quite happy. That's right. I'm even shipping. It's not a hard ship, but it is one.  |

| Poor Tiger he never gets any recognition...and lol at Nathans deep voice once again. |

| Poor Kotetsu deserved at least some applause, everybody in the hospital room knew he'd figured it out do why praise only Barnaby? |
| lollllllll random cab driver friend of Tiger's is random. Nvm, just realised that guy is his former boss. Hrm, I'm beginning to think that Jake didn't kill Bunny's parents. I mean, why would he need to use a gun? Why not just his powers? Methinks perhaps Maverick is the killer after all. Not sure why, though, at this point. Also... wow. Tiger and Bunny just chucked out their "we don't kill" morals didn't they? Both Kriem and Jake carked it right in front of them and they didn't help or blink twice. Pretty OOC and, I think, a big plot hole. We all know that unless we see dead bodies that that usually means the characters aren't dead! I wonder if we'll go back to this at some point. Hopefully we do, because otherwise that's just lazy script writing. |

Not sure why, though, at this point. Yes, I'm starting to think the same thing. Maybe because Jake's story was too fast, I mean, I thought this fights would take like 4~5 episodes, but it ended in two... So, maybe there is a mistery about Bunny's parents, since they didn't cleared a thing about this issue. So, I think Maverick has something to do with this too! I was disappointed of how rushed this part of the story was, but thinking it in a better way: They put Jake as a strong villian for distraction and there's more undercover. I think Bunny's parents were not so innocent too... Ok, let's stop with the theories and watch the next episode! |
| I clearly saw through Tiger's plan, the "super hearing" thing was just funny lol So apparently they stopped this guy already, and Tiger still hasn't received proper recognition lol poor guy. Either way, nice episode. |
| I died when Barnaby called Kotetsu by his name and then grinned. This episode was amazing! (I am also completely crushing on Kotetsu oh god.) Barnaby cried! My reaction was "D'AWWWW, QUICK, GO AND HUG HIM, KOTETSU!" But at least they NEARLY held hands this episode and Kotetsu was leaning on Barnaby. I can deal with that... for now. ;D. |

| Man, I hope that Jake wasn't the one to kill Barnaby's parents because, if he did, this arc went by way to fast and didn't really tackle the theme to my satisfaction. It feels like lost potential to me. Anyway, I did like how Kotetsu was the one to figure out how to defeat Jake and I actually also like how he didn't get much, if any credit, though I do think he will get his due credit by the end of the series ( I suspect he'll defeat whoever the final villain is by himself, or more likely with Bunny). Anyway, it wasn't my favorite arc. But, it was pretty entertaining. I just hope that wasn't all that Oroburous had going for it. That was....anticlimatic. |

| Tiger is cursed. He's the most heroic among them and no one will ever know. |

| Even though Jake and his lolita assistant are a ripoff of Joker and Harley Quinn the episode was great |

Hopefully we do, because otherwise that's just lazy script writing. But, it looked to me like Kriem just fell onto the roof; she didn't die. She's probably not healthy considering the height, but honestly, I don't really blame them for not being too concerned about her. But where you see her laying, there isn't a pool of blood or any wreckage that could have fallen on her. (not that it's likely they'd show any blood...) Kids show rules, like you said, if we aren't told they're dead, they probably aren't. :) What exactly were they supposed to do for Jake? It happened pretty fast, neither one of them could use their powers for a while, and he caused the helicopter to crash on himself while trying to hit Tiger. And though it wasn't outright stated, a helicopter crashing on top of you is pretty final, so I think he might actually be dead. ... I suppose he could have had a barrier at the last second. ^^; T&B spent a few seconds looking down at it, and then the rest of the ep was the afterward. I'm pretty sure at some point they went to check both Kriem and the wreckage, we just didn't get to see it. *shrug* Bunny still is low-man on the totem pole as far as personal rankings go. The "Kotetsu-san" thing was nice, but doesn't really make up for the way he regularly treats Tiger. >>; And everyone else around him, really. I want to ship them, since I've read some fantastic fanfics, but fanfic!Bunny seems genuinely nicer than show!Bunny, at least to me. Gawd I wish I knew Tiger in r/l. He would be an awesome friend (since we're about the same age. I'm at the low end of what his age could be.) Even without knowing about his hero stuff, he's funny and goofy and nice. He tries, which is more than a lot of people do. I'm not the demanding sort of person who needs their friends to be available at all hours, so the erratic schedule wouldn't even be a problem. Kinda feel bad for Kaede, though. Hopefully she finds out at some point, just so she doesn't grow up resenting her dad. ^^; |
 |
| excellent episode :D while it was kinda anti climatic, it made sense Jake was easily defeated. im guessing he only has a normal body, but can shoot laser beams. and read minds that's why when Kotetsu hit him in the head in the last episode, it hurt like hell for him since he doesn't normally take any damage like that. plus the armor is bulky as hell, if you have been hit by a metal when you slip in railings that's what it feels like plus even more so due to Kotetsus body mass and all. i also didn't knew Kotetsu can actually heal himself up(not fully of course) Blue Rose really cares for Kotetsu!!! i do wonder why she needs to position herself like this when riding her bike XD i thought Barnaby is gonna kill Jake, but Barnaby is too good for that and he already made a promise not to kill him to Kotetsu. what i didn't understand was when Kriem was obviously listening in the radio about the jammer. why didn't she put a counter measure other than just a self defense system? i don't know a ambush or anything? guess she underestimated the power of heroes!! Kriem is not dead, she might be plotting another plan. and i doubt Ouroboros has only two members. lol that mayor was behind the rescue? GO FUCK YOURSELF, coward bastard. shame Kotetsu didn't get any credit, at least his other team mates and Barnaby credited him!! i really doubt Jake is the killer since he doesn't use any guns. Kriem is still alive, and is probably gonna escape prison and contact the other members of the group. though enough of that, next episode is gonna be Lovey Dovey!!!! |
| Is it just me or does someone else think that Barnaby's past is somewhat... Batman-ish with a Kuroshitsuji twist to it? -sighs- Why does the Mayor get all credit? If it weren't for Kotetsu, the whole city would be swimming with the fish now! But that moment Barnaby was crying and Kotetsu caught him....was the best I think! And at the end he called Kotetsu by his real name- which I found really cute! I was like "Oh he never called him by his real name huh?" Trust bond initiated! |
