Line 67:
== [[Enemy Mine|Kotetsu will team up with Lunatic]] {{spoiler|in order to clear his name.}} ==
Unlike everyone else, Yuri {{spoiler|wasn't mindwiped by Maverick to forget that Kotetsu is Wild Tiger}}
* I was thinking the exact same thing. I also thought that Ben Jackson would make an appearance to help him out as well.
* The preview features {{spoiler|''lots'' of shots of Yuri, plus Kotetsu exclaiming, "Who's this guy?"}} I'd wager the odds are pretty good on this one.
Line 102:
== Conversely, Kotetsu will lose his powers... ==
... But still continue his work as a hero. This is a guy who'd spend his free time in high school delivering street
** {{spoiler|Confirmed. Kotetsu returns to do hero work after a [[Ten-Minute Retirement]], making the decline of his powers public and deciding that he's going to continue even after he loses his powers completely.}}
Line 136:
== Despite having creepy vibes (YMMV of course), Maverick is actually an old comrade or rival of Mr. Legend's. ==
Alternatively, those YMMV creepy vibes might serve their purpose in foreshadowing that their relationship was not a good one, or turned sour. But come
* {{spoiler|Jossed - Maverick was in charge of Hero TV while Mr. Legend was active}}
Line 144:
== Bunny's old maid, Samantha, is actually Maverick in disguise ==
[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=19710880 This]{{Dead link}} (possible [[Brain Bleach]] required).
* Probably jossed in episode 19, as although they weren't in the same room, Barnaby was on a video phone with Samantha while in the same room as Mr Mavrick.
* Definitely jossed in episode 20. Samantha and Maverick are shown in the same room, {{spoiler|shortly before Maverick orders his goons to dispose of her.}}
Line 337:
== Kotetsu's wife died of pancreatic cancer. ==
In episode 9, he reveals that she died of illness five years previously. His purple bead bracelet looks strikingly like a [http://www.pearlsforacause.com/collections/welcome/products/7-freshwater-pearl-bracelet-pancreatic-cancer-awareness pancreatic cancer awareness bracelet]{{Dead link}}, potentially indicating the nature of her illness.
* It's most likely a Buddhist bracelet for praying to/remembering the dead.
** Perhaps, but their wedding picture indicates that Kotetsu is Christian.
Line 358:
They will either become his army or will act like bunch of [[Nineties Anti-Hero|Nineties Anti Heroes]], leading to Lunatic having [[Even Evil Has Standards]], when he will kill them.
== Hundred power is [[Cast
Just imagine the strain any body have to go through in order to do what Tiger [[Super Strength|do]][[Healing Factor|es]]. Might result in rapid aging as well.
** Maybe that's why Hundred Power has a time
** {{spoiler|Could have triggered the sapping of Kotetsu's powers.}}
Line 461:
== Maverick is responsible for Kotetsu's power loss. ==
Let's go back to the first 13 episodes for a bit and pretend that you're Maverick: hiring Kotetsu to be Barnaby's partner/sidekick isn't too bad of an idea. Thanks to his [[Big Brother Mentor]] tendencies and messianic urge to help everyone, he's pretty quick to give your star employee the emotional support he needs to overcome his past emotional
And you know what? It worked. Barnaby's not so preoccupied with revenge anymore. He's not at risk of brutalizing suspects who have links to Ouroboros. Now he wants to be the hero you've prepared him to be. Kotetsu basically took the kinks out of your tykebomb free of charge.
Line 510:
* Further WMG: Barnaby's true genetic father is Mr. Legend. Maverick obtained a sample of his DNA and implanted Barnaby Brooks Sr. with nanites that rewrote his DNA to those of Mr. Legend's.
== Tiger and Bunny is Sunrise's response to Studio BONES' [[Darker
Both involve super powered people that [[Power Glows|glow blue]]. Both are arguably deconstructions of the Superhero genre, or at least the reactions to people with super powers, whether its corporatism or just cold blooded espionage. However, Tiger and Bunny might be poking fun at how the latter is [[Darker and Edgier]], and how it has mind boggling [[Gainax Ending|conclusions]], by simply being fun. In other words, "You can still have a show that's comedic, idealistic, and still deconstructs/[[Reconstruction|reconstructs]] a genre without needing a [[True Art Is Angsty|gut-wrenchingly]] [[Kill'Em All|huge body count]] and an [[True Art Is Incomprehensible|increasingly incomprehensible plot]]."
== [[Phoenix Wright|Godot]] is Kotetsu's father/brother/etc. ==
C'mon, two guys that look ''that'' much alike can't just be [[Identical Stranger
* Episode 12 DOES have Kotetsu drinking some coffee, so he may have picked the habit up from somewhere...
