Tiger & Bunny 18 – Tiger Returns, Bunny Falls

Mind = blown.

In this episode, Tiger returns to Sternbild and he is ready to tell Bunny that he now plans to retire for the sake of her daughter, but it seems that he is on a wrong timing since Kriem wakes up and tells Bunny the truth about what happened during Christmas.


I just loved that they gave Kriem’s back story first before deciding to kill her off in the series. Well that explains why she is siding with Ouroboros! One of the biggest surprises in this episode is her revelation that Ouroboros is a much bigger organization than we thought it was and Jake didn’t kill Barnaby’s parents and that their group is just one tiny fraction of the entire organization. The part about Jake not the killer is predictable, while as for their group being a small fraction of Ouroboros is quite a surprise. If you look at it this way, Jake and co. made quite level of damage back then, considering that they are just a fraction of the organization, it means that Ouroboros is one threat that our heroes shouldn’t take lightly.

As for Barnaby’s reaction, it was obvious but the fact that the faces change while thinking of the possible killer is quite surprising. And thus, he doesn’t have the proper state of mind in becoming a hero. Meanwhile, back at the Kaburagi residence, we learned that Kaede’s NEXT powers is that she can copy the powers of the NEXT that she touches. So that means, after she touched his dad, she now has his Hundred Power and after she touch some random NEXT, she now has his magnet powers. The question is, will those powers stay permanently?

Overall, the episode is one of the strongest episodes plot wise and continues the tone that the series had in the past few episodes. Is it me, or I have this feeling that this series will have a tragic ending?
