Tiger and Bunny/Heartwarming


 * Episode 2:
 * Mr. Legend telling a young Kotetsu that he could be a hero too.
 * Wild Tiger telling Tony that he could be a hero too.
 * The entire second part with Wild Tiger and Tony which is a long Call Back to Kotetsu's childhood; telling him about how he went through the same experience, that his powers are meant to be used for good even though Tony thinks his are too "creepy" and "not cool like the other heroes'"; and later proving that by pretending that his power has run out while in the middle of saving someone to get Tony to use his powers to help at the last moment. It's an Establishing Character Moment Of Heartwarming for Kotetsu as a Friend to All Children, culminating in telling him the above, and as a Humble Hero when he also persuades Tony to turn himself in first even though he'll only get points if he arrests him instead.

 * Barnaby's visible distress at hearing that Tiger is in trouble, and his subsequent decision to turn back, showing up just in the nick of time. Soon followed by the two of them standing back to back as they prepare to fend off the automatons.
 * Episode 12:
 * When Wild Tiger's fight with Jake starts badly we see a civilian trying to get a taxi saying he doesn't trust in the heroes any more, he's flatly refused by Ben Jackson, Kotetsu's old boss, saying he won't take him because the guy just bad mouth his friend.
