 LAST MINUTE FANSERVICE no desu |
| tear jerking episode.. fff :( |
| nooo they killed him? and oh so yaoi hahaha XD I want to see that mm bunny making him fried rice XD and oh my god I want him saved or something |
| Life is bittersweet can you live with that? |
| Kotesu is the best character, he better not die. ( Near-dying, retiring, I like better.) GODDAMIT SUNRISE, DON'T YOU DARE END IT TRAGICALLY. (Actually, scratch that, I like tragic endings without characters dying.) Anyway, great episode. Lunatic, just guessing, has to have something to do with the ending, please let it be killing (orarrestingprobablykilling) Maverick. Either way, the heroes will kick his ass. |
| Even though I saw spoilers for Kotetsu's death, I still bawled my eyes out when it actually happened. T3T This is the one time I seriously wouldn't mind the cheesiest, most cliched way of reviving someone, as long as Kotetsu lives. ;-; Have a dying/dream sequence with Tomoe, have her tell Kotetsu to get back on his feet, then have Kotetsu waking up in a hospital after a long coma....anythinggggg!!!! *begs* ;-; |

xShiroSakura said: IceAndCream said: Tiger! Don't be dead! They wouldn't really kill him off, right? They never kill of main characters, heh heh... ^^; Difference is those characters were evil or at least morally wrong, Sunrise does a lot of Mecha, a genre closely related to war, in war characters die so it's a necessity, not only that some of the popular characters are evil, Lelouch was no saint, anyone with a sane mind should have predicted his eventual death, you see it is questionable to leave alive a character that has done so much evil. Tiger is not evil, he is a saint haha, a HERO, the fact they killed him off an episode before the end makes me think that he may come back somehow. Rurupoi, where did you get your spoilers? |
 Sky High - The True King of Heroes |
| Kotetsu... |
   |
| Personally I'm only barely considering the possibility that he's really actually dead, but it's sort of interesting to think of what it would do to Barnaby. He obsessed for most of his life over losing his family and then just recently lost one old caretaker and was betrayed by the other. Then right after he loses his best and possibly only friend? The guy is practically cursed. While I'm sure they're on fine terms, Barnaby and the other heroes haven't really shown much developing relationship. By all rights this would probably destroy him. Least after he rips Maverick's heart from his chest. mystik said: if he does die, I'd imagine a time skip similar to TTGL. Kaede becomes the new main character and Wild Tiger. she's a hot shot rookie who gets paired up with the veteran Barnaby. who kept being a hero all these years in memory of his friend Kotetsu. occasionally the others guest star to give advice to Kaede. Antonio is around, and Blue Rose is like a role model to her. Bunny is overly harsh and critical and he tries to do everything so she doesn't get hurt. it could be fun, but without Tiger it wouldn't be the same. just like a lot of people preferred Kamina in TTGL. Sounds like a reasonable followup. I don't dislike this idea in the unlikely case that Kotetsu dies. Though I gotta say Blue Rose would be a terrible role model. Bet Dragon Kid would still be on the team if they did that, though no longer kid and probably with a figure that outshines Blue Rose whether Paolin likes it or not. |

| Really, cause this isn't the LAST episode? What kind of excuse is that when this is the SECOND to last episode. Like someone said, it would make sense if he DID die, because he's pretty much served his purpose. Yea Mai-Hime did revive folks, but that's because they had the power to do that, what in this series could possibly do that? If he would have just passed out like we saw, then there would be more a chance, but you have to remember after the credits, his moniker literally SHUT OFF, and the 2 guys were worried as shit, cause they know what that means. And then his face shining in the light with the ultra sad music don't make it no better..... Face it, its a good possibility the guy is dead, hell the title for next episode is IMMORTAL EXISTENCE |
| This better not be another Kamina stunt. I mean Kaede finally learns the truth and sees kotetsu in action. Starting the count down for the last ep. |
| HE ISN'T GOING TO DIE WILD TIGER FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE PEOPLE BEING SO NEGATIVE!?!? SAYING HE IS GONNA DIE!?!? STFU YO! |

| What surprises me is how emotionally unaffected I was by Kotetsu's "death". I am not the most hard-hearted of watchers (Ano Hana saw me regularly tear up, and I was a wreck after Clannad. Even Gosick was pretty hard when they did the flashbacks to Victorique's childhood and Homura's backstory required several pauses and eye-wipings in Madoka), but I was dry-eyed throughout this episode. It may be that they were just too effective at making Kotetsu into a marvelous comic character that is larger than life, or it might be that I just don't think he can really be dead in order to make this plot work. It may also be because Bunny seemed to be having the most emotional reaction and I just don't find him that sympathetic--now if it had been Blue Rose or Kaede that might have been a different story. I just don't think the rest of the characters are strong enough to support an episode on their own, let alone a whole season. Kotetsu is the glue that keeps this show together and I can't see them doing a second season without him. |
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 |
| The final episode's name is eternal immortality? DAMN. NOOOOOOOO! |

Which is EXTREMELY easy to do here, hell you don't even have to change the setting, just take a lesson from power rangers, new year, new costumes, new teens with attitude :p |
| I guess it was just me who burst out laughing at the last scene? I really like Tiger and I feel sorry for him if he died, but all that kept going through my head was how over dramatised it was (animation as well) and that it was just yaoi fan fodder. I could just hear the fans squealing in my head... so I had to laugh. xD |

Wayero said: I agree with everything you stated about this series, it totally went downhill after the Jake arc.The final boss they had to fight was a android? Wow, that kills the raw emotions, if they had to kill a person (evil or not). Sky High android girlfriend had more emotion than this few episodes thats left. I would of been happy, if the episodes after Jake arc was random side stories or back stories with Blue Rose, Dragon Kid and the others. This show could of profit bit more with exportations from Dragon Kid possible moe! |

| This show has so many clichés that I doubt this being the end of Tiger. |
MorningGlory said: that scene remind me of piccolo.. Me too haha. Oh and Kaede also does a kamehameha |

| Main heroes don't die. Main heroes don't die. Main heroes don't die. |
| I'm assuming they are gonna toss Lunatic back in at the last second. Maverick is going to have realized that the one guy is Lunatic because he keeps grabbing his injury, and brainwash him into fighting the heroes, etc. Cause there is no way hes going down quietly, especially when its a whole episode. |

Both Lunatic and Maverick are taking a leak next to each other in the mens room and he pulls out bow to kill. Good ending. |

| tiger better not die and leave his daughter behind ... |
| I have a hard time believing that they would kill Kotetsu at this point. I'm not saying it's impossible, but they spent the entire show up until now trying to develop Kotetsu and Barnaby's relationship/partnership and addressing Barnaby's past *cough*trust issues*cough*. I don't see what the point would be in going through all that only to have Bunny be responsible for killing his friend/partner. It just doesn't make sense to me from a narrative standpoint. I didn't like the bit with the other heroes and the weird Saw-esque situation at all. I thought it was rather boring. I never for a second thought that one of the heroes would press the button on the collar, and didn't need to be reminded that ~*~friendship is magic♥~*~, so all those scenes felt really pointless/annoying to me. I'd like to see Lunatic/Yuri play a proper role in the final episode. It seemed like he was suspicious of Maverick, and I agree with the people before me that have said that his character was underutilized thus far. mystik said: As an alternative, I sort of like this...(Well, minus Blue Rose being her role model--a big-sister-type confidante would be preferable, in my opinion.) And really, this could still work as a basic setup for a second series even if Kotetsu survives and retires...if he does die, I'd imagine a time skip similar to TTGL. Kaede becomes the new main character and Wild Tiger. she's a hot shot rookie who gets paired up with the veteran Barnaby. who kept being a hero all these years in memory of his friend Kotetsu. occasionally the others guest star to give advice to Kaede. Antonio is around, and Blue Rose is like a role model to her. Bunny is overly harsh and critical and he tries to do everything so she doesn't get hurt. |

| ok i was flat out laughing at most of this episode, especially at kotetsu's "final" words and his "death". if he's truly dead (lol sunrise) i'll feel bad... actually i won't because damn that was cheesy. come on man you can't die! i'm learning how to make fried rice!

| Shett this has to be the best and worst episode of the show =((( |
 |
| http://thisissternbild.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/episode-24-or-lets-believe-heroes/ This article and its comments pretty much sum up everything I think about this episode exactly. T&B has its cliches, but it embraces them; it can be hammy and predictable, but still get away with itself due to its great characterization. I don't think Tiger's going to kick the bucket, as others have said, it would completely kill the point of his development throughout the series, especially considering his relationships with Kaede and Barnaby. Another reason would be a season 2 (you know its going to happen), and you damn well can't have a Tiger and Bunny without Kotetsu, as he is this franchises' most popular and important character by far; Sato and Sunrise would be shooting themselves in the foot by eliminating Kotetsu here (at least, if they do indeed proceed to a S2). Anyways -- is it Saturday yet? |

| Well, I liked the episode itself.. but some stuff was just plain stupid.. The ending was cool, I rather liked that Kotetsu got hit by it. It shows that Heroes get damaged/die too. What really SUCKED though, was how Origami got out. He used his freakin' shuriken to cut the door. That's not a power. If the door was that weak, he could've gotten out even with the band on his neck. I was wondering why there was no word on his powers declining these past few episodes, but that was just an anti-climax. It seemed like a cool subplot, but that one moment was all they gave it? C'mon! And wasn't it down to like 3 minutes before? Meh. |
| Somewhat they killed that mechanical hero in some instant bulb over the head moment while being tossed by him around the room most of the episode. Can one last episode really make any difference and tie up the series neatly? I dont know.. |
Dangerr said: http://thisissternbild.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/episode-24-or-lets-believe-heroes/ Nice article. And that last paragraph, I would really love it if that'd happen. So perfectly appropriate for this show. I want this anime to end in a giant group hug. Come on Sunrise, it's the right thing to do. |
| Nice surprise at the end. The rest was average for a big action episode. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| "SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!" Yeah, we were all thinking it. This show has had its dark moments, but I never expected them to take Tiger down. I'll have a bit of a b*tch fit if they do finish him. He'll always be in my hall-of-fame of good characters even if he does bite the dust. Which he won't. He definitely won't...  |
 |
| Two things which lead me to believe Tiger isn't dead. 1. That freaking laser utterly destroyed the robot and made a huge hole in the wall behind it, but Tiger comes out with his torso IN TACT? 2. I just don't feel it from this anime for that sort of "main character dies ending". It just isn't in the atmosphere. Just look at the way how incompetent the villains are at actually killing. |
| Noo~!! Not Kotetsu! He cant be dead! He's just too awesome! D: I nearly cried at that scene. I was so close to crying D: Cant wait for the final episode~ |
