* IKnewIt: Early on, many fans hypothesized that Kaede [[spoiler:would turn out to be a NEXT]]. Episode 17 proved them right.
** [[spoiler: Another very popular theory that turned out to be chillingly accurate come Episode 19 was that Maverick was behind Barnaby's parents' deaths, and that he was the show's Big Bad.]]

** A streaming example. [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Due legal reasons]], when Netflix started streaming the series, the logos were removed from the heros' suits, which led to some contradictions in the dialogue. The logos were fortunately left intact for the movies and season 2.
** A big complaint about the series is that despite the show advertising eight heroes and giving them some episodes to flesh them out, the heroes sans Barnaby and Kotetsu are not actually relevant to the plot for the most part to the point if they were replaced with more generic heroes, the results would stay the same. Season 2 moves to fix this, as not only do Rock Bison, Blue Rose, and Golden Ryan [[spoiler: formulate a plan to outsmart and nearly defeat Fugan and Mugan]], it's ultimately [[spoiler: Lara and Thomas that ultimately dispatch the twins, rather than the titular duo.]]
** Fire Emblem was a BaseBreakingCharacter in season 1 due to his tendency to sexually harass the other male heroes. By season 2, while he still acts flirtatious at times, he doesn’t grope his coworkers anymore.

** Fire Emblem was a BaseBreakingCharacter in season 1 due to, among other flaws, their tendency to sexually harass the other male heroes. By season 2, while they still act flirtatious at times, they don't grope their coworkers anymore.

''The Rising'' even gave Fire Emblem a subplot of him accepting his queerness and being embraced by the other superheroes as a true friend, uncaring of his personal proclivities.

* MidDevelopmentGenreShift: Of the first variety. Originally, the series was supposed to be much darker and more morbid in its theme and mood, with heavy drama and tragedy and different personalities for both main characters. The creators later decided to go for a more lighthearted story with an overall comedic theme accompanied by some drama; traces of the aforementioned serious tone can be seen in the second cour.

** Kotetsu and Barnaby's powers were originally supposed to be memory manipulation and teleportation, respectively, making "Bunny" more of a MeaningfulName. But it was later decided that the two should be given similar abilities [[RedOniBlueOni to highlight the differences in their personalities and attitudes]]. Each also wore the other's outfit, but they were swapped at the request of the director. A reverence to this can be seen [[spoiler:in the Season 2 finale when a now fully-powerless Kotetsu gives Barnaby his suit while fighting Audun.]]

dewicking Nice Hat


* {{Defictionalization}}: In Japan, there was enough demand for Kotetsu's NiceHat that Sunrise decided they'd just [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-06-16/tiger-and-bunny-staff/kotetsu-hat-to-be-made-for-sale go ahead and sell it]]. Soon enough, Barnaby's jacket and the Christmas pin were also made into real items.
