Gekijouban Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning Page #3

...but your movements

have been completely--

Looks like her ice wasn't

enough to stop it!

You're kidding, right?!

It walked right over

her Cutie Escape!

Cold, cold, cold...

If you're going to create such a mess,

the least you could have done

was stop that thing!

Shut up...

It looks like the heroes are tied up

with saving the civilians first.

There he is!

Hurry... Hurry up.

We're ready.

Firing in three, two, one...

Rock Bison is in the air!

Yes!

He's controlling his direction

using his shoulder drills!

This looks promising. Or maybe not.

High!

That was a close call...

And a close shave!

Thanks...

No!

Look out!

Huh? Huh? Huh?

A child?

Wait just a second.

What are you doing?

I'm going to save him, of course!

If my deduction is correct...

I don't have time to listen to that!

Since no one is around,

he might be the one

moving the statue.

Out of the way!

He's probably a NEXT who

can control the things he touches.

Just move!

That child might be the culprit.

Even if he is, he's in danger!

Your lapse in judgment almost

got us killed the last time.

Well, that was...

I don't trust you.

I actually didn't want to

team up with you.

But the company ordered me to do it.

Oh, is that so?

Nobody moves!

It's Mr. Legend...

Do you care what happens

to this kid?

You're a...

Your power is meant to save people.

You saved me.

That makes you a hero too!

Huh?

I see you're awake now.

Don't try to show off at a time like this.

The stone statue stopped moving again.

Then go ahead and free yourself!

I can't.

Unless I use my power, that is.

Then use it already!

Our power only lasts for five minutes.

I don't really want to use it here.

Jeez. Then Lil' Bunny can stay here

and do as he pleases!

Wait just a second!

I might have misheard you,

but did you just call me "Lil' Bunny"?

Yeah, because you hop about and

have long ears just like a cute bunny rabbit.

My name's not "Bunny"!

It's "Barnaby"!

"My name's not 'Bunny'!

It's 'Barnaby'!"

I didn't say it like that.

"I didn't say it like that."

Bonjour!

A different stone statue is

now on the move!

The lion statue that is the symbol of

Helperidese Finance

is running towards

the New Morghen Area.

Care to free me as well?

Huh?

If we activate our powers at the same time,

we won't be able to stand out.

Uh-huh...

You there!

Get down from there.

Stay away!

Hey!

Hey, Handsome!

What are you doing up there?

Sorry, but could you

help me with this?

I guess I have no choice.

I can't turn down a hottie like you.

Thank you very much.

Hey... Come on!

At least let me touch your butt!

Where are his manners?!

Hm? No!

Oh dear. I can't get out! Darn!

- What?!

- Huh?!

Hey! Settle down!

Kaede! Kaede! Kaede!

Mom?!

Kotetsu?

Kaede... I can't find Kaede!

She hasn't made it out yet!

Okay! I'll handle the rest!

You get outside!

Hurry!

Kaede...

Thank you, mister.

Now run away quickly.

Thank you!

Thanks.

Huh? I don't see a reason

why you would be thanking me.

You're right.

Help! Help me!

That was close.

Don't get in my way.

Why are you doing this?

Because they shunned me.

Shunned you?

That's right. They call me creepy

and ignore me!

That's because he started moving dolls...

You call yourselves a NEXT,

but that just means

you're not human, right?

Of course,

we're creeped out by you!

I didn't ask to have this power!

I understand how you feel.

You're lying!

No, I'm not.

I became a NEX when I was about your age.

Huh?

Similarly, my friends were

creeped out by me.

I used to hate my powers

and cried every day.

But one day, a hero known as Legend

taught me something.

He said that my power

was meant to save people.

Well, not for me.

Why?

Because my power isn't cool

like real heroes.

Don't worry. There will come a time

when your powers will be useful.

Really?

I promise you that!

Do you mean it?

Yeah. That's why you have to first

apologize to everyone

and go to the police.

Are you crazy?!

If we don't arrest him,

we won't get points!

Shut up!

You want to start using

your powers for good, right?

Then come down from there.

Look out!

Help!

Leave this one to me.

Your powers are still recovering, right?

I should be able to

use mine right about now!

Thanks, and thanks again!

Crap.

What's wrong?

I'm out of time.

My power's about to run out.

If that happens,

we won't be able to hold this up.

Hey, Tony! Please help us!

Everyone's going to be in danger!

Please help us!

I can't.

Yes, you can! You can do it!

I have only five seconds left!

Five, four, three...

Oh, this is terrible!

What are you doing?

Watching to see how

they'll handle this situation..

Oh my, you're sick!

Oh, thank you, thank you!

What just happened?

Way to go!

You saved us, Tony.

That makes you a hero too.

A hero...

You still have some power left,

don't you?

What? That's odd...

Come on.

Let's go home, Kaede.

Okay, Grandma.

I'm so glad you're safe.

I thought I made myself clear!

You're supposed to

be Barnaby's second.

Well, I know that,

but my body moved on its own.

Unbelievable.

Leaving Barnaby behind like that...

He said that he didn't

want to activate his powers, so--

Then you make him do it!

Since he is still inexperienced as a hero,

it's your job to help him out!

What?

Isn't it your duty as a veteran

to offer emotional support?

Okay...

If I can't rely on you for that,

there's no point in keeping you

under our employment.

The only thing you have

going for you is experience.

Try to think of something.

Like creating a good

work environment for Barnaby.

Are you listening?!

Yes, sir...

I can't work with that man.

He's so naive.

You've only just begun.

But sir...

It's clear that you're drawing

people's attention

as the first superhero duo.

This is a chance to sell your name.

If you don't take this opportunity,

there won't be any point to

revealing your true identity to the public.

Am I wrong?

No, sir.

And by continuing this work,

you may find a clue to uncover

the meaning behind the mark you're after.

Don't worry.

We will find

your parents' killer some day...

Hey! Don't ignore me!

Please don't waste my time.

Man! Unfriendly as always,

huh, Lil' Bunny?

I told you to stop calling me that.

Well, good news!

I was thinking of--

If you'll excuse me.

Hey, hear me out!

Want to go grab something to eat?

I thought it might be something like that.

I have stuff to do.

Can't you spare some time?

No.

I've already got everyone together!

What?

Wow...

What do you think of my body?

Amazing. So this is what it looks like.

I've only seen you use your powers

while wearing your hero suit.

You're right.

Here, go ahead and hit me.

I don't want to.

It looks like it would hurt.

Don't be shy. Come on.

This is stupid.

Huh?

Why do we have to do

a welcoming party for that rookie?

I think it's nice.

He acts aloof, but actually wants

to get along with his fellow heroes...

He's delightfully mysterious
