The second season of the hero anime TIGER & Bunny, which was broadcast in 2011, was announced 10 years after the first season ended and was distributed exclusively on Netflix. We have independently researched and ranked the most popular characters from the still popular Tiger & Bunny! We would also like to introduce the popular characters based on their performance in the first half of the second season!
Most popular character No. 1: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi / Wild Tiger
The most popular character is the main hero, Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, also known as Wild Tiger. He has a NEXT ability of one hundred powers, which increases his physical abilities by 100 times for five minutes, and is nicknamed the Destroyer of Justice due to his power and clumsy personality. In the first season, he was already a declining hero and was on the verge of being fired, but he ends up teaming up with Barnaby, who has the same ability. He has a strong sense of justice and is reckless, and his personality is the complete opposite of Barnaby's. At first, the pair didn't work well together, but gradually they got along well and became a great pair.
About Wild Tiger in Season 2
Even after his NEXT ability only lasted one minute due to his ability decline, he continued to be a hero thanks to the performance of his powered suit and his experience. However, this is not without drawbacks, and it seems that he is unable to arrive at the scene in time because he cannot use his ability, and the burden on Barnaby is increasing because he cannot use his ability. However, he is no longer reckless, as he is seen in the prime of his abilities, and other heroes rely on him as a senior in the Buddy Hero System, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is the spiritual pillar of the heroes.
Second most popular character: Barnaby Brooks Jr.
Second most popular character is Barnaby Brooks Jr., the buddy of Wild Tiger, who can also be said to be the other main character. He is young, handsome, and a cool realist, with a personality that is the complete opposite of Kotetsu. However, as he continues to pursue his own past grudges, he gradually comes to trust Kotetsu and grows into a great duo. His ability is the same as Wild Tiger's, one hundred power. His catchphrase is Super Rookie, and in the second season, Super Prince.
About Barnaby Brooks Jr. in Season 2
He continues to work with Wild Tiger in the second season. Tiger's NEXT has been weakened by the decay of his abilities, and the burden on Barnaby seems to be increasing. However, his relationship with Kotetsu is good and there is no awkwardness, and he has become a good senior who is calm and considerate of his juniors, which was not seen in the first season. He is still an excellent hero.
Third place for popular characters: Ryan Goldsmith / Golden Ryan
Third place for popular characters is Ryan Goldsmith, also known as Golden Ryan, who boarded the movie version of The Rising. He is a guest character who appeared in the movie version, and is a hero chosen as the new buddy of Barnaby, who was promoted to a first-part hero. From the atmosphere, the suspicion that a guest character only in the movie version = villain? Betrayal? was unresolved, but he was an ally from start to finish, and although he looked like an egocentric type, he was actually a considerate type. The catchphrase is Wandering Gravity Prince.
About Golden Ryan in Season 2
After The Rising ended, he left Sternbuild, but before we knew it, he returned and teamed up with Blue Rose. (Maybe he became a regular because of his popularity?) His personality is still the same egocentric one, but he is also still good at being considerate. However, it turns out that he is delicate and sensitive inside.
Popular character No. 4 Yuri Petrov / Lunatic
The fourth most popular character is Yuri Petrov, the administrator of the Justice Bureau. He is calm and expressionless, yet capable. To the heroes, he is a scary boss, but his true identity is Lunatic, a dark hero who judges evildoers with his own sense of justice. He is a NEXT who controls blue flames and stands in the way of the heroes many times, but in the first season, when Wild Tiger was caught in Maverick's scheme, he quickly reached the truth and helped him.
About Lunatic in Season 2
He is still a scary boss, and he seems to be in charge of evaluating the buddy system that started in Season 2, and if he judges there to be a problem, the buddy system will be reset to zero. Lunatic has not appeared in Part 1 of Season 2, and has not been seen recently. Although his father is the legendary hero Mr. Legend, he has a history of killing Legend, who began to commit domestic violence due to his reduced abilities, due to an out-of-control ability, and it seems that he has some thoughts about Wild Tiger, who has the same abilities and has also reduced abilities. Tiger took a completely different path from Legend, which may have changed the Administrator's feelings. (Although he appeared in the movie version)
Most popular character No. 5 Ivan Karelin / Origami Cyclone
The fifth most popular character is Ivan Karelin, also known as Origami Cyclone. He is a hero with a ninja-like appearance who puts all his effort into being seen through. His NEXT ability is mimicry, which allows him to mimic anything he touches. His mimicry ability alone is not enough to subdue bad guys, and in the first season he was worried about whether he could make it as a hero. His catchphrase is "Mikiri-shokunin".
About Origami Cyclone in the second season
In the second season, he becomes a buddy with Rock Bison. He has gained experience as a hero and improved his skills, and unlike in the first season, he is a reliable hero. Although he had some trouble with Rock Bison, they reconciled and began to show a good combination.
【TIGER&BUNNY2】Popular characters summary
Here is a summary of the popular characters that appear in TIGER&BUNNY! The main character tag team is very popular, but Golden Ryan, a guest character in the movie version, may have become a regular in the second season because of his great popularity. The second season may not be much of a hot topic due to the high hurdle of limited distribution + simultaneous episode distribution, but it was still consistently interesting! !
