** Kotetsu is really bad at communicating his problems, no matter how minor or major; it’s one of his biggest character flaws, and it’s a hard one to work past because it’s partially a product of his heroic personality. He prioritizes the issues of others way above his own, and he’s just too concerned with keeping people from worrying about him, even and especially to his detriment.

He prioritizes the issues of others way above his own, and he’s just too concerned with keeping people from worrying about him, him to consider the benefits of letting them do that—or even that they would want to if they knew there was a reason to, even and especially to his detriment.

* Why does Kotetsu not tell Barnaby [[spoiler: that he is losing his powers when it comes out that he was quitting? It would have save a great deal of strife and discord between them?]]

* When Lunatic makes an appearance in Ep. 16, Agnes's first reaction is "this will be ratings gold!" But Lunatic actively kills people - murder. How is that even allowed on television in the first place? Fake TV murder and death is very different than depicting the real stuff and even if framed a certain way or heavily edited, there's no way to avoid it - not to mention it's been said that HeroTV is live with a few seconds of tape delay (usually this is 10 seconds). Agnes, what you're broadcasting is a snuff film!

** My guess is that it would be something like the NASCAR racing team companies, which never have their own names on the cars. The heroes themselves are the main business of those companies, or at least their own portion of their media business, and the Sponsors are how the companies make their money on the heroes, just like NASCAR teams (where a Primary sponsorship spot on a car can run up to thirty five million dollars, and secondary or associate sponsor spots can run from $250,000 up to two million dollars each, PER SEASON). That would explain why the managers are always pushing for the logos to be seen and for their heroes to get more visibility, because it means more advertising to sell, and they are in the business of selling advertising.

* Koetsugi always wears his wedding ring, so how any of hero could be surprised by founding out he is (was) married in episode 9?

** Well... rings are small; they're something you're likely not going to pay much attention to unless you're looking closely. Let alone remember unless you're ''frequently'' looking at Kotetsu's hands. Combine that with the fact that he doesn't seem to have mentioned his wife to anyone but Bison until then, and it's excusable that everyone could've missed it.

* Why is Wild Tiger the only hero whose costume includes the logo of the company that is their primary sponsor (and then only before [=TopMag=] is acquired by Apollon)? You'd think they'd want pride of place over the secondary sponsors, but, Blue Rose, for instance, only has Pepsi on her uniform, not Titan Industry. (Out of universe, one supposes, it's because their primary sponsors are fictional and don't serve as real-world advertising, but this is a headscratcher about the in-universe reasoning.)

** Barnaby strikes me as the kind of guy who'd check all his pockets before doing laundry, be CrazyPrepared for the weather, etc. Bit of a stretch, but not impossible for him to never notice the symbol. As for nobody else noticing... yeah, it's a bit more of a ContrivedCoincidence there, but it could just be written off as "those loony conspiracy theorists" in-universe.

* Koetsugi always wears his wedding ring, so how any of hero could be suprised by founding out he is(was) married in episode 9?
* How has no one ever noticed that the face on their dollar changes into some weird symbol when wet? Is this kid the first person to ''ever'' discover this somehow? And Barnaby; he spent his entire life looking for information on Ouroborous and just so happened to ''never'' pull out a dollar after being caught in the rain or found a single in his pocket on laundry day? Do internet forums just not exist in-universe? Are conspiracy theorists just not a thing?

** Also, regardless of how much practice Kaede had with that specific power, we may be able to HandWave it with [[spoiler:Kaede just getting more used to [=NEXT=] powers in general, so it's logical that she'd be able to do fancier things with abilities she got later]]. Plus, it does seem to take her a little while to do this, so it's possible that she was trying to specifically plan something to do.
