** While [[spoiler:Audun]] was initially tricked by Gregory into thinking that Gregory was an ally and that the heroes he fought were villains, by the time he gets to fight Kotetsu and Barnaby, he realizes that his opponents acted more heroic than mere villains should, and declines fighting the pair in favor of helping the civilians he hears needing help.

Because of this, many NEXT, who haven't gone berserk including the heroes, face a lot of persecution from the public. Because of this, the Mayor of Sternbild forces all the NEXT to evacuate the city for their safety while the heroes are compelled to give up their superhero activities and join in the evacuation.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In episode 3, Ryan is trying to warn Barnaby that Kotesu and Karina are planning to partner up[[note]]Actually the two planning to meet with a sick fan of Blue Rose[[/note]], though Barnaby had upmost fate that Kotesu wouldn't do such a thing. The episode is framed as Barnaby being told that Kotesu is cheating on him with a younger partner.
** The secondary plot also has shades of this, with Karina receiving letters from a fan that is portrayed as a young girl and asks to visit at her favorite restaurant, [[spoiler:only to turn out to be the StalkerWithACrush that stole her hero outfit in the previous season that plotted to sneak a grab at her while he was invisible]]. It has plenty of similarities to online predators pretending to be someone else and manipulating their targets into lowering their guards.
