Tiger & Bunny 09 – Dragon Kid Time!


Dragon Kid is my least favorite heroes here in Tiger & Bunny due to her not being striking in terms of her appearances compared to Blue Rose. And so in this focus episode, Dragon Kid takes care of the mayor’s kid who apparently is a NEXT with telekinetic powers along with Tiger!


The episode follows a similar approach on the Origami Cyclone episode less Lunatic’s involvement in it, in which Tiger gets less screen time, Bunny is doing something or saying something about Ouroboros and the lead hero will dominate the episode, and it still has its charm in this one! On to the star on this episode, Dragon Kid, for starters, I was wondering on why she wears a jumpsuit that is similar to what Uma Thurman wore back in Kill Bill and what exactly her super power is; turned out to be that she is a tomboy and her power is electricity. Well that explains a lot on why she acted more like a boy in most of her appearances!

One thing I felt about the episode is that the episode felt like an episode on how to womanize Dragon Kid. At first, I find it stupid at first but at the end, I really enjoyed it, especially that she is taking care of a kid who is a NEXT that shows her dedication as a mother in case she will be one! More on Tiger in this episode, it seems that he is getting more close to his partner, Bunny as he learns more about his past and finally, all the heroes know that Tiger has a daughter, and Blue Rose is shocked about it, confirming that she admired Tiger!


The episode also focuses about family ties as Dragon Kid’s manager wants her to be more appealing by becoming more feminine starting by wearing the hair clip that her parents gave. I don’t find anything special about wearing a hair clip coming from your parents asides that it is their gift. But after the topic about flower language was brought up by one of the criminals this week, Dragon Kid at the end of the episode learned the meaning of the flower found in her clip and started wearing the said clip. The scene was very touching after they revealed what the flower on her clip means. Also, the scene about young Bunny receiving the toy robot was also quite touching as well.

Overall, a good character focus episode and is akin with the Origami Cyclone episode.
