History Characters / TigerAndBunny

** [[ActorAllusion Episode 7 is basically Ichigo unleashing his Bankai.]]

* OddCouple: With Kotetsu, especially in the beginning.

* HotBlooded

* AllMenArePerverts: During TheInternetIsForPorn incident he actually asked Barnaby for [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean recommendations]].

* {{Claustrophobia}}: It is revealed in Episode 6 that he has this.\

* LonersAreFreaks

* [[TallDarkAndHandsome Tall, Dark, Handsome ]] ''[[TallDarkAndSnarky and ]]'' [[TallDarkAndSnarky Snarky]]: Not if you take the 'dark' part literally, though.

* [[TallDarkAndHandsome Tall, Dark, Handsome ]] ''[[TallDarkAndSnarky and]]'' [[ TallDarkAndSnarky Snarky]]: Not if you take the 'dark' part literally, though.

* TallDarkAndSnarky: Not if you take the 'dark' part literally, though.

* InformedAttractiveness: Much is made of Barnaby's good looks in-universe, to the point that Fire Emblem nicknames him "Handsome," but his character design doesn't necessarily stand out as that much more attractive than those of the other heroes.

* InformedAttractiveness

* InformedAbility: He's supposed to be very skilled academically and quite smart as well. However, while he definitely isn't 'stupid', there's never any indication in-series that he's markedly more intelligent than, say, Kotetsu.

* InformedAbility: He's supposed to be very skilled academically and quite smart as well. However, while he definitely isn't 'stupid', there's never any indication in-series that he's noticeably more intelligent than, say, Kotetsu.

* MinoredInAssKicking: Since he was the top of his class at the Hero Academy, he technically ''majored'' in it. But [[InformedAbility it's often noted that he's also very competent academically.]] WordOfGod states he would've gone on to become a robotics engineer had his parents not been killed.

* MinoredInAssKicking: Since he was the top of his class at the Hero Academy, he technically ''majored'' in it. But it's often noted that he's also very competent academically. WordOfGod notes that he would've gone on to become a robotics engineer had his parents not been killed.

* HollywoodNerd: A type-2 example, obviously. And he's definitely a bishounen even with his glasses on -- though they're not the typical NerdGlasses by any means.

* InformedAbility / TakeOurWordForIt: He's supposed to be very skilled academically, and quite smart as well. However, while he definitely isn't 'stupid', there's never any indication in-series that he's noticeably more intelligent than, say, Kotetsu.

* HollywoodNerd: A type-2 example, obviously. And he's definitely a bishounen even (and one might say exclusively) with his glasses on -- though they're not the typical NerdGlasses by any means.

* HollywoodNerd: A type-2 example, obviously. And he's definitely [[{{Megane}} a bishounen even ''with'' his glasses on]] -- though that might just be because they're not the typical NerdGlasses.

* {{Megane}}[=/=]StoicSpectacles: A textbook example of a megane. The 'stoic' part holds true for some time into the series, but it eventually becomes obvious that this was merely a facade.

* MinoredInAssKicking: Since he was the top of his class at the Hero Academy, he technically ''majored'' in it. However, as per the actual trope, he's said to be very competent academically. WordOfGod notes that he would've gone on to become a robotics engineer had his parents not been killed.

* NerdsAreSexy: Being something of a nerd (complete with glasses) does not stop Barnaby from being [=HeroTV=]'s number one fangirl draw.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: He shows several signs (frequent nightmares and faulty recollections of his parents' murder scene, extreme social withdrawal, emotional irregularity, blunted affect[[hottip:*:WordOfGod notes that "Barnaby's current ability to fake friendly behaviour and expressions is the result of much work; as a teenager he was practically expressionless"]]) that suggest he's suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. But apparently ''no-one'' ever bothered to help the poor guy overcome his problems. Somewhat [[{{Justified}} justified]] considering what his [[spoiler:[[TreacherousAdvisor trusted mentor and guardian]] [[ManipulativeBastard turned out to be like]]]], but still...

* AmbiguousDisorder: He has frequent nightmares and flashbacks, several tendencies that suggest a mild case of OCPD, a grand total of ''one'' hobby (listening to opera - ''alone''), has been wearing the same jacket nearly every day for ''five straight years'', is obsessive and emotionally volatile when it comes to his quest for revenge, hates waste and anything he deems 'unnecessary' (therefore limiting the number of furniture in his apartment to three), has a very absolutist perception of trust and is socially withdrawn to the point that Kotetsu is literally the only friend he's ever had. [[spoiler:Not to mention having a bunch of FakeMemories - which means that most of his childhood after the age of four is a mystery even to him.]] A psychiatrist would have a field day assessing this guy.

* {{Megane}}[=/=]StoicSpectacles: A textbook example of a megane. The 'stoic' part holds true at first for some time into the series, but eventually turns out to be a facade -- especially during later episodes.
* MementoMacguffin: The sash Kotetsu was wearing in [[TakingTheBullet episode 8]] is still with him as of ep.12. WordOfGod says he keeps it in his company locker as a good-luck charm.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: He obviously suffered (and is probably still suffering, to some extent) from PTSD due to witnessing [[spoiler:his parents' murder.]] But apparently ''no-one'' ever bothered to help the poor guy overcome his trauma. Somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justified]] considering what his [[spoiler:[[TreacherousAdvisor trusted mentor and guardian]] [[ManipulativeBastard turned out to be like]]]], but still...

** TigerVersusDragon: Guess which?

** TigerVersusDragon: The dragon, though Kotetsu would call it "Tiger vs. Bunny"

* {{Megane}}[=/=]StoicSpectacles: A textbook example of a megane. The 'stoic' part holds true for some time into the series, but eventually becomes debatable -- especially during later episodes.

** Any mention of Ouroboros, his parents' murderer, or his parents themselves, makes him very unstable emotionally. In Episode 19 we see him crying on several different occasions due to these very reasons.
