History Recap / TigerAndBunny

A partial Compilation Movie of Season One's first two episodes, followed by storyline involving the heroes facing a Next with teleportation abilities.

Notes: The mysterious figure from the opening credits finally appears in the show itself.

Tiger, Bunny and [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Origami Cyclone]] visit the HeroAcademy as part of a publicity campaign to offset Lunatic's popularity. However, Ivan (Cyclone) runs into an old acquantaince with a grudge.

[[ShockAndAwe Dragon Kid]], much to her chagrin, has to babysit a baby with [[MetaOrigin NEXT]] powers. Then both of them get kidnapped by a trio of female villains and T&B must rescue them.

Note: Barnaby starts sharing his secrets with Kotetsu in this episode.

The heroes are given paid vacations but before they can enjoy them, the city is hit by a major terrorist attack as Barnaby finally recognizes his parents' killer as Jake Miller, an imprisoned member of Ouroboros.

Ouroboros threatens to collapse the city unless Jake is release, leading to one of the heroes undertaking his most dangerous mission yet.

An Immediate Sequel to Season One that reunites the Heroes when a group of revenge-driven Next are terrorizing the city

The heroes [[ShutUpHannibal refuse to kill each other]] (it was all a lie to get them to kill themselves anyway) and Kaede rescues them using the powers she copied from Blue Rose. However, Tiger appears to have been killed while defeating the super-robot.

Maverick and Rotwang activate more robots to fight the heroes but their safety override is activated by Dr. Saito. Maverick's attempt to take Kaede hostage is foiled by Kotetsu, who had just been unconscious. Exposed by Hero TV, Maverick erases his own mind, and is later killed by Lunatic. Both Tiger and Barnaby quit being heroes, only to make a comeback a year later.

After the ending credits we see a shot of the Stern dollar becoming soaked in water, revealing the Ouroboros emblem on it -- a possible SequelHook.

Fire Emblem is suspect of murdering three criminals who were killed by superintense flames. While Tiger tries to help him prove his innocence, Barnaby continues to research what is the "{{Ouroboros}}."

The heroes are given paid vacations but before they can enjoy them, the city is hit by a major terrorist attack.

Notes: Barnaby finally finds out who his parents' killer is, and Ouroboros reveals itself!

Ouroboros threatens to collapse the city unless one of their members is freed from jail. This leads to one of the heroes undertaking his most dangerous mission yet.

With the city still held hostage, the leader of Ouroboros challenges the heroes to fight him (one at a time) on live television.

Kriem awakens from a coma, reveals her personal backstory and claims that Jake didn't kill Barnaby's parents before she dies. This makes it hard for Kotetsu to announce that he's decided to quit being a hero.

Notes: It's revealed this episode that Kaede's power is the ability to copy other [=NEXT=]'s powers.

Notes: Mr. Maverick is revealed to be a NEXT this episode.

Maverick repeatedly attempts to get rid of the evidence of the truth about the killer of Barnaby's parents. At the very end he frames Kotetsu for the murder of Barnaby's maid, Samantha, and changes Barnaby's memories (and those of every other hero and Hero TV staff member) so they don't recognize Kotetsu anymore.

Just as the situation looks hopeless, Kaede appears and restores the memories of the heroes and Doc Saitou... save for Barnaby, who chases Kotetsu across town. Kaede and said heroes confront the fake Wild Tiger; Sky High unmasks him. They are shocked to see the identity, but it is not revealed to the audience who it is.

Kotetsu and Barnaby fight. When the former calls Barnaby "Lil Bunny," his memory is restored. The two, Ben, and Saitou go to Justice Tower to defeat Maverick, where they learn that Dr. Rotwang, the man responsible for Cis has created the fake Wild Tiger: An android. Meanwhile, the captured heroes sans Kaede are given an impossible choice if they want to survive: Either one of them disarms a bomb to save him or herself at the expense of the others, or they all die.

With exciting new heroes gaining popularity and stardom, Tiger and Barnaby are called upon to set a good example.
