Tiger and Bunny/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

* [[Adult Fear]]: He was a little too slow {{spoiler|and would've lost Kaede had it not been for Barnaby}}.

** Also, he gets another one in the second half of the show: {{spoiler|the possibility of having a rare, progressive condition that will force him to [[Brought Down to Normal|give up doing what he loves]]}}.

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Animal Motif]]: [[Panthera Awesome|Guess...]]

Line 57:

* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: Pre-[[Time Skip]], at least. This becomes glaringly obvious in episode 13, when {{spoiler|all the citizens of Sternbild (including the other heroes, who knew full well the role Kotetsu played in their victory) praise Barnaby for saving the day... ignoring Kotetsu completely. Lampshaded when Barnaby notices Kotetsu's expression and teases him for wanting praise.}}

** Post-[[Time Skip]] he's risen to fourth-place in the Hero Rankings, gets treated nicer by Alexander, and is even getting along with Barnaby.

* [[Fatal Flaw]]: Kotetsu has a noted habit of keeping secrets in a misguided attempt to not worry people.

Line 84:

{{quote| "I’m a hero because I want to save people. Isn’t that enough? It really doesn’t matter if anyone acknowledges me or not."}}

* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: In their high school days Kotetsu fought Antonio to a standstill without using his powers. It's not until Tomoe was in danger when he activated it. Needless to say, Antonio was rather shocked.

* [[I Didn't Tell You Because ~~Youd~~ Be Unhappy]]: The reason why he [[Cannot Spit It Out]]

* [[I Didn't Tell You Because You'd Be Unhappy]]: The reason why he [[Cannot Spit It Out]]

* [[Idiot Hero]]

* [[The Klutz]]: Only Kotetsu could accidentally kick a pen into a highway ''right in front of a passing car'' while trying to pick it up.

Line 105:

* [[Odd Couple]]: With Barnaby.

* [[Older Sidekick]]: He's being billed as this in-series.

* [[Overshadowed By Awesome]]: [[Cool Loser|Far cooler than your average non-superpowered person]]. Unfortunately for him, he's not being compared to ''normal'' people most of the time.

* [[Powered Armor]]: His Apollon Media suit ensures that even without tapping into his powers, he's still quite strong and durable.

* {{spoiler|[[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: When his powers [[Power Incontinence|start going haywire]] in Episode 14}}.

Line 126:

** Though he ''was'' more successful when {{spoiler|Ivan blamed himself for his friend Edward's descent into villainy}}.

* [[Tears of Joy]]: Cries them in episode 23 when {{spoiler|Barnaby finally remembers him.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ten Minute Retirement]]: Leaves the Hero business after the fight with Maverick, only to come out of retirement later because Kaede told him to find something to do besides sit around the house all day.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Leaves the Hero business after the fight with Maverick, only to come out of retirement later because Kaede told him to find something to do besides sit around the house all day.}}

* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: The Performer.

* [[They're Called "Personal Issues" for A Reason]]: Once he learns of Barnaby's past, he makes a point about ''not'' prying into the whys and wherefores. This is not due to coldness, but because he knows (possibly from personal experience) that some things are best left as someone's own cross to carry.

This is not due to coldness, but because he knows (possibly from personal experience) that some things are best left as someone's own cross to carry.

* [[There Was a Door]]: Kotetsu takes the most direct route when someone's life is at stake, walls be damned.

* [[Throw the Dog A Bone]]: There are times when he ''does'' get recognition -- the students at the Hero Academy, for instance, worship the ground he walks on.

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: There are times when he ''does'' get recognition -- the students at the Hero Academy, for instance, worship the ground he walks on.

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Mayonnaise... on everything.

** According to Anju, a disproportionate number of his meals consist of fried rice. He likes it enough that he's never bothered to learn how to cook anything else.

Line 143:

** Interestingly, he's both the "Father" in the straight example to Barnaby and the "Son" example to his own daughter in an inversion - one of his main wishes is that his daughter thinks he is cool. {{spoiler|She eventually does.}}

* [[When You Coming Home, Dad?]]: Superheroing really does take its toll on his relationship with his daughter.

* [[Wide Eyed Idealist]]: Less concerned with sponsorship money, more concerned with saving people. Naturally, this is not a good attitude to have in Sternbild.

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Less concerned with sponsorship money, more concerned with saving people. Naturally, this is not a good attitude to have in Sternbild.

* [[Widower Hero]]: His wife Tomoe passed away from an illness five years prior to the beginning of the series.

* [[Workaholic]]: Lloyd actually has to ''order'' him to use some of his vacation days.

Line 208:

* [[Enthusiasm Versus Stoicism]]: Slides back and forth along this scale as well, but usually hovers around the stoic half.

* {{spoiler|[[Mad Dictators Handsome Son|Evil Mentor's Handsome Protégé]]}}

* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: His ''Hundred Power'', same as Kotetsu's.

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: His ''Hundred Power'', same as Kotetsu's.

Line 330:

* {{spoiler|[[Ten Minute Retirement]]: Leaves the Hero business when Kotetsu quits, and returns when he does.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Leaves the Hero business when Kotetsu quits, and returns when he does.}}

* [[The One That Got Away]]: According to the character questionnaire ''A 100 Questions'', his first and only crush was on a girl he met at the Hero Academy; but he was convinced that his feelings were unrequited and never attempted to pursue a relationship with her.

* [[There Are No Therapists]]: He shows several signs (frequent nightmares and faulty recollections of his parents' murder scene, extreme social withdrawal, emotional irregularity, blunted affect <ref>See the "Frozen Face" entry, above</ref> etc.) that suggest he's suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. But apparently ''no-one'' ever bothered to help the poor guy overcome his problems. Somewhat justified considering what his {{spoiler|[[Treacherous Advisor|trusted mentor and guardian]] [[Manipulative Bastard|turned out to be like]]}}, but still...

Line 341:

** And something similar (though arguably less traumatizing) happens to him in episodes 19-20 as well.

* [[The Unfettered]]: Strives to be this, with questionable success.

* [[Used to Be A Sweet Kid]]: He was a happy, affectionate and friendly child prior to {{spoiler|his parents' deaths}}.

* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: He was a happy, affectionate and friendly child prior to {{spoiler|his parents' deaths}}.

* [[Waking Up Elsewhere]]: In episode 20.

* [[Was It Really Worth It?]]: Averted regarding his {{spoiler|revenge against Jake.}} Rather than feeling lost or despondent without his motivation since childhood, he finally feels free to enjoy life and find meaning in being a hero for its own sake.

** {{spoiler|Episode 18 proves that it might not be a good idea to base your happiness on exacting revenge after all; because everything might just go tumbling back when you realize you've actually failed at it. He ponders the same question halfway through episode 25.}}

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Fire?]]: He's not very fond of fire {{spoiler|due to the circumstances of his parents' death}}. In Episode 9 {{spoiler|he has a panic attack seeing Kotetsu playing with a taser in a burning building}}.

* [[Windows to ~~The~~ Soul]]: [[Green Eyes]] to go with his in-series potrayal as being 'exotic' and 'seductive' -- it also counts as a subversion since you learn that neither is actually true once you see past his public face.

{{quote| '''Blue Rose:''' My ice is a little cold, but your crime's been put on hold!}}

* [[Color Character]]

Line 404:

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Another reason why she dislikes frontline superheroing -- costumes designed to maximize sex appeal aren't all that great for withstanding bullets.

* [[Superhero Sobriquets]]: From the first episode, Super Idol of the world of Heroes.

* [[Threshold Guardians]]: Episode 4 is [[A Day in ~~The~~ Limelight]] episode about Blue Rose making a decision about quitting her job as a superhero, with various people urging her in both directions. Near the end of the episode, she gets a call from the bar she's been moonlighting at as a singer, and an alert that there's an emergency at the exact same time. {{spoiler|She chooses the bar, but seeing her hero friends put their lives at risk on the news brings her back just in time for a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.}}

* [[Triple Shifter]]: High school student, superhero, ''and'' part-time lounge singer.

Line 434:

* [[Let's Meet the Meat]]: A variation -- he has a [[Animal Motifs|bull motif]] to his costume and his main advertiser is a chain of barbecue restaurants.

* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: His main ability.

* [[Overshadowed By Awesome]]: His ability is one of the broadest of the main heroes, and is the only one that is constantly active. And while it seems like his abilities are fantastic, he's treated as a [[Butt Monkey]] mostly because Kotetsu and Barnaby have much more potent versions of his abilities, even if they're limited.

* [[Powered Armour]]: Given his [[Nigh Invulnerability]], though, may be more about boosting his strength than his durability.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Enjoys sewing in his spare time.

Line 475:

* [[Tomboy]]: Word Of God has it that her tomboyishness is not forced -- she is naturally androgynous.

* [[Tsurime]]

* [[Windows to ~~The~~ Soul]]: [[Green Eyes]] to signify exoticism (what with being Chinese and all) as well as her rather spirited, active personality.

* [[Windows to the Soul]]: [[Green Eyes]] to signify exoticism (what with being Chinese and all) as well as her rather spirited, active personality.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Green hair as Dragon Kid, and her natural hair also has a slight greenish tint.

Line 548:

* [[Name's the Same]]: [[Fire Emblem|For the record]]. As per [[Word of God]], it's just an amusing coincidence.

* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]

* [[Overshadowed By Awesome]]: Lunatic has the same powers as him, but they're considerably more versatile. He's also one of the lower-ranking NEXT in the Hero TV lists, which might have something to do with the fact that 'shoot fire from your hands' is a power that's rather short on harmless (or at least non-lethal) uses for a job that's strictly [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]. During the test in episode 6, Kotetsu comments that - needing to prove his innocence - Nathan is being a lot more aggressive than usual with his NEXT power, to the point that the building is at risk of collapse.

* [[Playing ~~With~~ Fire]]

* [[Shout-Out]]/[[Captain Ersatz]]: His character design looks suspiciously similar to some of the crazier outfits and hairstyles of Dennis Rodman. His outfit is also a direct one to the type of outfites worn by the heroes of [[~~Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (Anime)|~~Science Ninja Team Gatchaman]].

* [[Shower Scene]]

Line 656:

** {{spoiler|[[Foreshadowing|Foreshadowed]] in early episodes by Kotetsu, who called his mask design a "Glove-Head".}}

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Going after Edward, one of the show's more sympathetic criminals, served as a timely reminder that he is, in fact, a villain.

* [[Kick the Son of A Bitch]]: Makes something of a hobby out of it. If he targets a criminal, odds are that they are ''deeply'' unpleasant people.

* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: Makes something of a hobby out of it. If he targets a criminal, odds are that they are ''deeply'' unpleasant people.

** His first appearance in Episode 6 has him frying three criminals midway through their fond reminiscences about kidnapping and murdering children and entire families.

Line 687:

* {{spoiler|[[Dirty Coward]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Fantastic Racism]]}} Revealed in episode 23 and likely an inspiration for his work.

** {{spoiler|[[Death By Racism]]: He thinks Maverick's plan is for [[We Can Rule Together|them to get rid of all the NEXT's together]] apparently not realising that Maverick himself is a NEXT. He states this while he's hanging off the top of the Justice Tower from Maverick's leg.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Dropped a Bridge On Him]]: Well, a helicopter.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: Well, a helicopter.}}

* [[Evil Gloating]]: Taunts Barnaby in the middle of their fight, {{spoiler|revealing he has a secondary power}}. He isn't stupid enough to tell anything more than that, but had he kept his mouth shut {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|Kotetsu might not have figured out WHAT that power is]]}}.

* [[For the Evulz]]: He does have something vaguely resembling a coherent ideology, but a good number of his actions basically boil down to this.

* [[Glass Cannon]]: {{spoiler|Due to his powers he has never gotten hit before, so he folds like paper anytime somebody actually manages to land a hit.}}

* {{spoiler|[[I Never Told You My Name]]}}: {{spoiler|During his fight with Wild Tiger, he calls him by his real name. After finding out Jake has a secondary power, Kotetsu immediately figures out he must be a mind-reader.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Have You Told Anyone Else?]]: To know who else was with Barnaby during Kriem's [[Deathbed Confession]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: It's implied that his habit of repeatedly subjecting Barnaby to his powers left the latter's [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]], [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] persona weak enough to be returned to normal without Maverick's involvement, provided an appropriate catalyst came into play.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Tries to paint himself as one when his plans failed, but the show makes it clear that he'd gone off the rails a long time ago. Replacing NEXT superheroes with robots, for instance, is not the best idea if you want to combat anti-NEXT prejudice.}}
