Gekijouban Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning Page #2

Sir, my catch phrase is embarrassing.

Can't I change it?

That domineering attitude is

what makes you so popular.

You just don't get it, do you?

I'm sorry...

Thanks, and thanks again!

Mr. Maverick!

It was the right choice to make you

the producer of this show.

I never expected you

to pull in these ratings.

I, Agnes Joubert, intend

to make the show...

much more intense!

Mr. Barnaby.

My name is Yuri Petrov.

I've been assigned to the Justice Bureau

as of today.

Pleased to meet you.

I look forward to your work.

I'll try my best to meet

your expectations.

Make sure to follow

your own code of justice.

I will.

Coming, coming, coming...

Hello?

Dad?

Hey! How's it goin', Kaede?

You haven't forgotten about

my recital tomorrow, have you?

Of course not!

I promised that I'd be there.

Really?

You don't have to work?

Don't worry!

Tomorrow, I'm going to get

a good look at how cute you are!

I wouldn't miss it!

Is that so?

You should have told me

that you took the phone, Mom.

I saw you on TV. Are you going to

have to pay for damages again?

You always become reckless

when you get worked up. Be careful.

I know.

Anyway, if you die,

I'm going to have to tell Kaede

that her father was a hero.

I want you to really be careful.

Ouroboros...

Sorry, Kotetsu.

Ben...

A merger?

Major money was involved.

We were struggling with funds,

so we found a good buyer. Here.

Huh? Who is this guy?

Your new boss.

Go say hello right now.

Wait a second.

I don't understand what's going on.

Starting next season, only the seven major

companies are going to have heroes.

And our company was the last one to go.

In other words, we're going to disappear?

You don't need to know about it.

Did the other heroes know about this?

Was I the only one who didn't know?

Sorry.

Are you Wild Tiger?

You got "Tiger" from

your name Toratetsu, huh?

It's Kotetsu. Kotetsu Kaburagi.

Hmm...

I want you to go down to the Development

Department to get a briefing on your suit.

Oh... I hadn't heard that

I was starting today.

You can quit if you don't like it.

I'll do it.

The industrial area?

The Steel Hammer Statue?!

It's supposed to only be

a symbolic art piece.

Why is it moving?

This might be the work of a NEXT.

Okay, get moving right away.

Huh?

I want you to make use of your new suit.

I can't do that...sir.

Do you have a problem with it?

I have no intention of wearing any suit

other than my own.

Don't worry. The specs on this one are

far better than the one you wore.

That's not the issue here!

I need to wear that suit to be a hero!

It's what I aspire to become...

Just get going already!

Yes, sir.

Actually, this is pretty nice.

That's him! All right...

There's one important thing.

I'm going to pair you up

with another hero.

Huh?

The first team in the hero world.

That's what Apollon Media

wants to sell.

I hadn't heard about that.

You can quit if you don't like it.

What's this about a team?!

Who am I pairing up with?

That hurt... I guess I can't

do this on my own.

Huh? You?!

What? Really?

With you, Rock Bison?

Huh?

What do you mean, "huh"?

You're my--

Let's go, old man.

You?!

Chaser Change!

Double Chaser!

Why am I on this side?!

It suits you well.

That doesn't answer my question!

It's company orders.

Leave this area to me.

The rest of you will...

Why aren't we going in?

I'm collecting data.

If we know what the other heroes

are doing,

we can avoid showing up at the same time

and stand out in the show.

Hah! That's just stupid!

Will standing out help us to

catch the criminal?

Will it bring peace to the city? Will it?

Listen, a hero is all about--

Bonjour, heroes.

Time to start the show. Good luck!

Three, two...

Welcome to HERO TV LIVE!

Stern Bild's seven major companies now

have exclusive rights over the heroes!

We're starting fresh under

a new management system!

Which hero will win the honor

of becoming King this season?!

Come on, it's time for work.

Wait! I'm still not done talking to you.

Excuse me!

What the heck?

Is that truck what I think it is?!

My ice is a little bit cold,

but your crime has been

completely put on hold!

There she is! It's not just

her body that's naughty!

Blue Rose is on the scene!

All right! I made it into

the background!

Give me a break, you guys...

Hey, wait up!

I'll bring that thing down using my wires!

Yeah, good luck with that.

Shut up! I'll show you

what being a hero is all about!

Huh?

Now watch and learn!

Is that...?

Yes, there he is!

It's Barnaby, the new hero!

Heh.

"Heh," my ass!

All right!

Yes!

Huh? Wha--

Huh?!

What kind of joke is this?

You got yourself caught in it!

I can't work with that guy!

Say that after you get some results.

I thought you two were goners.

Lucky for you that thing stopped.

An hour has passed since

the stone statue stopped its advance.

And it still doesn't look like

it's going to be moving.

What do you suppose

the culprit is trying to do?

That doesn't matter.

I'm more concerned about you

than what's going on right now!

Do you understand

the situation you're in?

My situation?

That's right. We have a contract

with you to act as Barnaby's foil.

What?

You're Barnaby's second, his assistant,

an add-on.

Understand?

Hey, wait a minute!

Why do I have to be his assistant?!

And by the way, our mechanic is angry

with you too.

Hm?

Excuse me?

Hm? Huh? What?

I'm Saito. I developed your suit.

I can barely hear you.

You need to make better use of the suit.

Well, I'm still not familiar with it yet.

Take a look.

This is the suit I designed.

And this it the crappy suit

you used to wear.

It's not that bad...

Let's see about that.

I get it! I get it already!

You showed me enough, okay?

Yeah, and that expression of yours too.

Also, since your ability only lasts

for five minutes,

I've added a special feature

which takes that into consideration.

Huh?

See the button on the left arm?

You mean this?

I'm not done explaining!

The time is 3:
28 P.M.

It's a clock. See?

Was he that surprised?

I'm really sorry! I was planning

to get there by three.

So where are you right now?

I still have some work left.

Are you really going to come?

Of course.

When? How long until you get there?

Uh, well...

You're not coming, are you?

I'll be there!

When does it start again?

At four.

Okay! I'm leaving right now.

Hold on a second.

Tiger and Barnaby,

we need you to jump into action!

The stone statue has

begun to move.

Get ready stat and head to the scene.

Uh, listen...

Oh no... I'm starting to get nervous!

Dad, hurry up and get here!

I mean it. You have to come!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I'll never forget that

you wasted three minutes of my life.

You don't have friends, do you?

How will the heroes deal with

this strange giant visitor from the Brox area?

Blue Rose is the first one

to arrive on the scene!

Hold it right there!

And there she goes!

My ice is a little bit cold...
