My guess on Mr Maverick is he can only affect one individual at a time If Kotetsu had been there with him, different ball game.

Was anyone else a little baffled by how easily Maverick confessed to the whole thing? It basically went like this:

Barnaby: You killed my parents!
Maverick: No, I didn't.
Barnaby: Yes, you did!
Maverick: Okay, you got me.


Haha lol If u say it like that its kinda funny

Maveric u bastard! didnt anyone tell it isnt nice to mess with other peoples memory ????

I had a feeling Maverick was behind the murder of Barnaby's parents and altered his memory somehow. Now you have to feel he would try to go after Kotetsu since he was with Barnaby at the hospital.

man why can't Kotetsu trust Barnaby fully?

come on you've been together for awhile now, it's better to stick together all the way in the end.

i knew it was some sort of memory manipulation.

and wow i freaking knew it was Maverick, since he keep appearing in all pictures.

i really doubt he was THAT close compared to his parents or aunt samantha.

Maverick killing Barnaby's parents reminds me of how Solidus killed Raiden's parents when it was revealed in MGS2.

he wanted to show if there is someone that created them, just as Maverick killed them to see if Barnaby had the potential to become a hero.

it's up to you Kotetsu to save Barnaby!!



just as the series is getting excellent, there's only 5 episodes left T____T

Oh god- this episode had alot of Barnaby collapsing- I can't help myself but think it's rather cute...Kotetsu and Barnaby-

And that slap got me sighing all the way.

I wish Kotetsu can save Barnaby from Mervick's evil clutches! I always thought the whole story was abit messed up, ever since Barnaby said how Mervick took care of him and all....He didn't seem sincere.

I kinda hate how this series doesn't have enough mystery and things are abit obvious- but I still love it anyway.

And I expect to watch it till the end!

Idk how to do quotes but:

"DarthObsidian said:

Maverick drugged his tea. The pen he had in his pocket before he poured the tea was gone after he poured it, and there was a brief shot of the pen next to the teapot leaking a liquid. I'm guessing the effects of the drug combined with his confused state kept Barnaby from doing anything.


Ah! I just attributed it to Barnaby being in a severe state of shock, but this makes a lot more sense!

Nonono you guys! He used his powers to get away from Kotetsu, remember? And since he and Kotetsu have the same powers, that means Bunny can't reuse his powers until one hour has passed, and I'm pretty sure Bunny escaping to Maverick and their talk wasn't one hour

Poor Kotetsu, he means well, but it seems like he's always in between a rock and a hard place.
I KNEW IT WAS MAVERICK! Never trust anyone with a mole on his forehead!

This was cheap.

As stated, this mind tinkering ability is obviously rushed without thought just to simply create a so-called surprise as Maverick could easily tinker with parents' minds. This episode kinda ruined the entire show. I get where Maverick is coming from as he isn't the only example to do such a thing but this shouldn't've been in this show. We never really got a picture of how Next's were discriminated, the show was the opposite of that. While it's obvious that Maverick is the one to change that with Heroes Channel, you can't simply add elements to a story that weren't there before and expect it to work. If you were going this route, you should've showed how Next's were treated a long before these signs.
Open to chat about any storytelling related subject as long as it's clever and respectful.

While this episode was really predictable, it was still pretty damn epic.

I was almost 100% sure throughout the whole episode that Maverick was the one who did I was just trying to figure out how he murdered them. I took me awhile to realize that Maverick was a NEXT that could rewrite memories.

So Maverick worked for Ouroboros by supplying them with weapons to increase Hero TV's viewership. That evil bastard...

That piano track always gets me. Definitely gonna download that song cause it's epic as fuck.

One thing that pissed me off this episode was why did Barnaby just sit there and let Maverick subdue him? Pretty dumb on his part.

EDIT: Turns out Barnaby was drugged. They made it so subtle that I didn't even notice.

EDIT 2: The camera panned over to the tea and the pen containing the drugs. I just glanced over it. Silly me.

Other then that, awesome episode.

At least Barnaby's not a robot. Anyway, if anything obvious was proven, it was that the crimes were set-up. It does seem like Lunatic has a point in the end.

Well dang I suspected it was Maverick but I didn't think he had that kind of ability, or any NEXT ability for that matter lol. I'm so excited to see how this plays out.

Well slap my cheek and call me cheesy but I honestly didn't want it to be him! haha, wow wow. It was to my surprise that he was a NEXT and with that kind of power, he could do anything, but I think the further we get into this those memories will come up again, being triggered by something, hopefully. If Bunny didn't punch his old lights out in the next episode ahah.

It was obvious that Maverick was behind this ever since ~10 episodes ago. The exact same plot twist happens in almost every show like this I watch! the CEO is always evil lol.

It's quite hard to get a huge emotional reaction out of me watching anime, but inside, I could feel the doom that they were going for with the ending. I hope that by some miracle, Maverick's NEXT doesn't work this time and Bunny can proceed as normal, but if anything, he probably plants the Jake memory once again.
