This is what bothered me the most. I was eagerly waiting when it was his turn, but then the moment was just gone. Poor him. D:

Overall, it was extremely good episode. I just loved the intense chase between Tiger and Bunny. Kaede rescuing all the others... I kind of knew to expect it because Maverick touched her, but still, it looked pretty impressive. And what a cliffhanger! Made me literally scream out of desperation.

And it surely is suspicious that Tiger only called Bunny 'Barnaby'. Hmm...

They should make the Black Tiger some guy from Ouroboros, it'd be a nice way to lead into a 2nd season.

Little disappointed there wasn't an all-out brawl between Tiger & co., but the bike chase was cool.

Also disappoint that Lunatic didn't play a bigger role.

I'm going with the theory that Barnaby's going to kill Kotetsu(maybe go a little insane afterwards :D)

This episode was Kaede fantastic as follows,

And in the spoilerShe was totally over 9000! This series is now getting a 10/10 Master Piece score. I am one hell of a satisfied Kaede fan! I loved seeing faces in the spoilerand seeing her use her powers here again and while it was stupid of Skyhigh to have touched her here, he did not know that she would change her powers like that.

The other things is kick ass motorbike move of Tiger as follows,

Now that was amazing and so were those in the spoilertotally excited and insane. For some time it also reminded of this anime:

Some elements of that motorbike part.

• That in the spoiler
  
  
  was the best thing to happen to the quiet science guy and I am T_T really touching.
  
  
• Tiger’s pose in the following spoiler
  
  
  was great and I loved it.
  
  
• EPIC is art at the end of the episode in the spoiler
  
  
  looks great! Love it!

In short conclusion this episode is over 9000. I am the happiest right now because of crazy fandom of Kaede and I would so re-watch it if I had time. It was just EPIC! I always wanted Kaede to have a big saving role and ti came true. My hopes were answered as well as my wishes and that is why I am satisfied.

BTW Stitches in the spoiler

oh does Kaede look nice in one of them? She looks lovely in fact.

The way Kaede fixed everyone's memories was a bit cheesy, but hell, this was still an amazing episode! We've gotten so many heavy eps lately, it was nice to have just an action-packed ep this time around.

Tiger does use the name "Barnaby" instead of "Bunny" when he's not goofing off (I think it happened when Tiger yelled out to Barnaby during the Jake fight?).

Looking forward to the Tiger/Barnaby brawl next week!

Am I the only one that thinks this episode was a HUGE let down?

I mean, Kaede very conveniently was touched by the only guy with the power to break the mind control AND used the power without even knowing she had it before. Also, she used the power just enough to make everything all right, instead of, I don't know, erasing all their memories or something like that.

And then he just takes Bunny on a bike date across town so they can do the shounen fistfight bromance...

And now that I think about it, it's ok for Bison to forget that Kotetsu was Tiger, but he should've remembered Kotetsu from school. And there's no mention to that. And if there was someone whose personal information Tiger would know about would be him...

It would be better if they just made everybody remember (or at least believe in) him because the things he said created contradictions with the implanted memories. Bunny has shown that contradictions really get in the way of the fake memories.

Karina showed the power of love and the tried to earn some points with her future daughter-in-law...

Actually I'm with vucubcaquix on this one. If you've not seen that the new Tiger was an android right when it appeared on screen, you're clearly missing something. You don't even need a reason to believe it, it's so incredibly obvious that there is simply no alternative to this in the script.

Apart from that, it was a fine episode with cool action scenes, nice animation and so many developments (a bit Deus Ex Machina for some) that the episode flew by really fast. Great one !

One of the problems with Jake is that he wouldn't remain under Maverick's control and he'd kill him given half the chance!

Now Mr Legend might make sense if it was revealed that as mentioned Maverick created Lunatic too to inspire ratings but overlooking him when framing Tyger was a very bad mistake so I'm inclined to think its something else!

The android part is making more sense at this stage, the only thing is how the heck can it take on ALL of the heroes I mean it could have all their specs on file and act accordingly but it couldn't match Tyger without his power suit on in a hand to hand fight so what gives?

Is it a learning type?

So has it been sent to capture Kaede?

I mean a NEXT who can copy the powers of others would make a fine addition if Maverick needed an android that could copy and store the powers of the others so what do you think?!

i knew Kaede's power will be helpful its too predictable but still very well executed it made me excited!!! and nice 3d animations the good luck mode are always good to see

I'm betting that fake tiger is an android or something, anyway I can't wait for Lunatic for making his next appearance !!

Why would Lunatic show up if it was an android (since it hasn't committed a crime yet and that's all he cares about) if you want lunatic to show up it has to be someone in the suit that would provoke a reaction :S

felt like it was over before it had even started. Was this episode really 24 min? it felt like 5. Oh, and Rock Bison finally being useful (When using himself as shield against Barnaby.)

I know right (in regards to Rock Bison/Antonio), I just wish they did a Rock Bison episode, I mean I don't think they confirmed his powers in the anime but the drama cd which is impenetrable skin or somet.

Who knows maybe they'll make an OVA for a Rock Bison episode :P

OMG, FREAKING AWESOME EPISODE. Kaede saves them all but copies Sky High's powers before she can save Barnaby. I thought Blue Rose was gonna confess after she got her memories back lol XD
Holy crap, Tiger and his bike transform was freaking epic. Same with the truck slide under / over lol XD Oh and also as Tiger was falling down and then went back up to get his suit! :P Random reminiscing was kind of weird, but still pretty awesome. Return of GOOD LUCK MODE! Haha XD
OMG I wonder who fake Tiger is >_< Hmm, Tiger did the preview twice in a row didn't he? Lol, love how he just switched to Japanese after haha XD

Kaede is sure a cute little girl. I hope she doesn't get kidnapped, but that'll be one hell of a situation if it did.

Just so epic episode. Insanely pretty chase scenes, pretty nice pacing overall.

Kaede's rescue was a bit... too convenient/clicheed but I liked how it made plot move faster. (I want a somewhat closed ending to the series even though there would be a second season.) Furthermore, I absolutely love Kotetsu being very Kotetsu-ish, since he didn't came up with super ultimate complex 'let's make them remember me' plans. Would be pretty much out of character. Though, he can be smart too when it comes to it...
Rock Bison not getting his own quirk/random fact made me go ":(" (Except if we count 'you still own me 20 dollars') I'm happy Lunatic didn't appear. I like him but he has no reason to be there to fight them, so why would he.


+1.

Hmm, Tiger calling Bunny 'Barnaby' all the time caught my attention. Hmm.

I don't even dare to guess who would be inside the Black Tiger suit - if there is anyone, that is. I think it's just a suit, android or something alike, but we'll see.

im thinking that the ending scenario will be like Maverick is about to get arrested by Tiger and Bunny but Lunatic comes and want to kill Maverick and then brawl starts to the death between the 3 lol, and who knows maybe on that battle confusion then Maverick will be able to hide and run then that will be the trigger for season 2 lol good theory heh?

Thinking this strange new tiger is definetly an android, since Bunny's parents were doing research on androids and such. it's been a few years, maybe the technology was finally completed.

Quite the episode I'd say.

Me too.

Heavy foreshadowing from last episode; Kaede, everyone pretty much saw it coming. But nevertheless a quick way to get over with the "Hey, don't you guys remember me?" part.

The sad thing about it is that you realize Kotetsu isn't that close to anyone for 'the power of friendship' to actually work on said bonds - even on Rock Bison who has known him the longest; and while Blue Rose tried to believe, she didn't remember either.
This is the result of Kotetsu keeping everyone at arm's length, likely stemming from his early childhood experiences of becoming a NEXT.
It all comes down to how Bunny will snap out of it now (a test of the bond/partnership) - and it's already looking pretty grim.

Although Sky High messed up the easy way out, I'm glad that he did; it would be pretty anticlimactic after having spent the last couple episodes of building up the distance between the two only to have Bunny magically rescued at the end.
That also lead us to the highlight of this episode; the bike chase.
I lost it at the facepunch. Man, it made me realize how much I've missed their antics.

Overall, great episode; no idea what to expect anymore, aside from the inevitable clash. They really like to keep us at the edge this time around.
