Funny moments in ''Anime/TigerAndBunny''.
----
!! Season 1
* Anytime Kotetsu does the OnTheNext narration and gets to the GratuitousEnglish episode title, leading to a copout at the end of Episode 9.
* Episode 1:
** The bank robbers getting away while the truck is still stuck to Rock Bison's horns.
** The part while the announcer is describing Wild Tiger's Hundred Power, the last on-the-run criminal is ordering the monorail conductor:
--->'''[[CombatCommentator Mario]]:''' Hold the phone! It appears Wild Tiger is activating his Hundred Power which makes his physical abilities a hundred times stronger!\\
[''cuts to the monorail car'']\\
'''Bank Robber:''' Go faster!\\
'''Conductor:''' I can't!\\
[''cuts back to Wild Tiger, twisting the monorail track into a pretzel'']\\
'''Mario:''' Incredible!\\
[''cuts back to monorail car'']\\
'''Bank Robber:''' Stop the train!\\
'''Conductor:''' I can't!
*** And pay attention to the train itself during this conversation: It's branded as the Poseidon Line, which is the transport company that sponsors Sky High. Perhaps this is why their monorail is ''shaped like Sky High's helmet.'' Or maybe Sky High's helmet is shaped like the monorail. Either way, hilarious.
** Wild Tiger is trying to save the criminal from the crashing airship, but the criminal wants to wait to be saved by Sky High instead.
** After Blue Rose saves the boat load of people she gets shot at, the look on her face as she does her "Cutie Escape" down the ice is hilarious.
** After Wild Tiger's power expires, he is saved by an unexpected hero.
--->'''Wild Tiger''': Who the hell are you supposed to be?\\
'''Barnaby''': [[DeadpanSnarker The guy who just saved your life.]]
* Episode 2:
** The part when Wild Tiger shoots his grappling hook pistol at the statue to latch on to it and instead hits Barnaby at the moment he lands on the statue. Barnaby is then yanked toward Tiger and collides with him and another grappling hook launches and ricochets until both Tiger and Barnaby are tangled together.
** When explaining the characteristics of the suit he developed for him, Saito insults Tiger's old suit. Tiger of course protests... And so Saito has both hit by a flamethrower, instantly incinerating the old suit and not even scorching the new one with four bursts. ''Then'' he makes other tests using copies of Tiger's old suits, smugly smiling the whole time.
** The conversation when Wild Tiger gives Barnaby the nickname "Bunny".
*** As Barnaby voices his protests, Kotetsu holds up an arm to defend himself, but after realizing Barnaby can't move, [[ManChild proceeds to mocks him mercilessly]].
---->'''Barnaby:''' I am not a bunny! My name is Barnaby!\\
'''Kotetsu:''' [[StopCopyingMe "I am not a bunny, I'm a Barnaby!"]]\\
'''Barnaby:''' I don't talk like that!
* Episode 3:
** Barnaby's taking a photo with two pretty {{Fangirl}}s and the instant before the shutter closes Origami Cyclone appears out of nowhere in frame.
** Tiger's eloquent explanation of the Sternbild skyline when Barnaby points at a building and asks what it's supposed to be.
--->'''Kotetsu:''' That would be another building. And you see that one next to it? That's a building too. And so's that little one down there. In fact, most of these things you see sticking up are buildings.
** Agnes yells at Kotetsu for [[ManChild being uncooperative]] during the dinner, to which he responds by sulking and saying he thought it was going well.
* Episode 4:
** '''Tiger:''' Us heroes should be fighting real bad guys, ya know. Like guys with machine guns, [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud BADADADADA!]]- [''[[StuffBlowingUp a nearby truck explodes]]''] Eh? That's a tank!
** After the announcer broadcasts his wonder of whether or not Tiger will destroy something again and when the armored car started to side smash him, Tiger decides to destroy it and starts kicking it but Agnes tells him not to. Tiger then yells at them to make up their mind on whether or not that they want him to destroy stuff.
** Also when the announcer asks if Tiger's going to destroy something he responds with "Are you trying to provoke me?!"
* The entirety of Episode 5.
** Kotetsu doing the practice run for Barnaby's surprise carrying a rabbit plushie.
** Barnaby not behaving as planned for the actual run of the surprise party. The whole screw up was hilarious, really.
** [[MidSeasonUpgrade "So this thing increases our power?"]] [[spoiler:"NOPE, BUT IT MAKES YOU LOOK COOL."]]
** Sky High sulking over not getting to deliver his lines, that he rehearsed all alone in an alley. It was lonely. Keep in mind, he spent so much time rehearsing his lines in that lonely alley that he missed not only his cue but the whole to-do with Pauly.
** The episode's [[TheStinger Stinger]], showing us what happened to Rock Bison. What really makes it is that the other Heroes don't even seem to notice that Bison is missing, instead wondering what ever happened to the pink plush bunny that was supposed to be Barnaby's birthday present.
* Episode 6:
** To prove Fire Emblem's innocence about the convicts burned to death, Wild Tiger is being made to withstand his flames to measure them. Why didn't they use a dummy? [[InsufferableGenius Because Saito wanted to show off the fire resistance of the suit he developed]].
** Kotetsu vs the mech: Kotetsu gets a serious look on his face and takes a fighting stance-- then runs away.
** Fire Emblem's reaction to his [[CoolCar Ferrari]] getting torn up by a mini mech's miniguns.
** Tiger and Fire Emblem's argument about who should save who while hiding behind the evermore ruined Ferrari in question.
* Episode 7:
** When Kotetsu and Barnaby are preparing to sleep inside the prototype chamber Saito was developing:
---> '''Saito:''' "ARE YOU GETTING SLEEPY YET! WELL?! HOW ABOUT NOW?! ARE YOU SOUND ASLEEP?!"\\
'''Kotetsu:''' *''gets annoyed''*\\
'''Saito:''' "HEY, TIGER, ARE YOU IN DREAMLAND?! IS IT RELAXING?! TELL ME!"\\
'''Kotetsu:''' "I CAN'T SLEEP WITH YOU YELLING!"
** Tiger's charity gig with Blue Rose, which ended in the two of them giving her catch phrase together in goofy poses.
** "Stop showing off and just arrest me".
* Episode 8:
** Kotetsu's group of NEXT's powers.
** Ivan echoing Kotetsu while transformed as him. And then Kotetsu asking Ivan to "stop crying with his face" because it's depressing him.
** "Take it before it's taken." The points, that is.
** It's always fun when the dub takes throwaway lines and turns them into punchlines. Example after Kotetsu brags about his peptalk to Origami Cyclone:
--->'''Principal:''' You have a great partner!\\
'''Barnaby:''' So he keeps telling me.
* Episode 9:
** The heroes playing "pass the baby" when little Sam starts crying, his [=NEXT=] powers making objects fly around the room. They figure they need to hand him to a woman, but Karina[=/=]Blue Rose is too stunned from discovering that Kotetsu is a widower with a daughter.
*** WHO'S A BIG BOY?! SKY HIGH! (And Ivan's horrified expression next to him.)
*** Rock Bison treating the baby like a ''football.''
*** Fire Emblem going from resisting being handed the baby to snatching him up when Barnaby first suggests that the cries for "Mama" would probably be best answered by a woman.
* Episode 10:
** Barnaby saves Kotetsu from a high fall, mentioning that [[CallBack it's been a while]] since he carried Kotetsu [[BridalCarry like that]], and then asks if he's gained weight.
** Origami Cyclone boasting about being a hero in front of a camera after saving someone... only to be punched right towards a wall.
* Episode 11: Kotetsu's dramatic speech to the Mayor and his associates [[http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmx5hvbngh1qk3ljko1_1280.png?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1308404177&Signature=I7k%2By8FpLiwk8a2SsPfBu5GcSTg%3D doesn't go quite as planned]] when it turns out he has trouble with the word "self-interests".
* Episode 12:
-->'''Jake:''' [[MemeticMutation Come at me,]] [[FunWithSubtitles bro.]]
* Episode 13:
-->'''[[CampGay Fire Emblem]]:''' Alright, ladies. Let's show them some girl power!\\
'''Blue Rose:''' Girl power? One of us doesn't quite fit that description.\\
'''Dragon Kid:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I can't help it.]] I was always a {{tomboy}}.\\
'''Blue Rose:''' Actually I wasn't talking about you.\\
'''Fire Emblem:''' Wait a minute! Are you telling me I don't qualify?!\\
'''[[OnlySaneWoman Blue Rose]]:''' Oh, brother. I can't believe this conversation.
** And towards the end of the episode, after the day has been saved and they're all ready to go home (and everyone is praising Barnaby while ignoring Kotetsu):
--->'''Barnaby:''' What's the matter? Why the long face? Could it be you wanna get some praise too?\\
'''Kotetsu:''' Ah, don't be ridiculous!
* Episode 14:
** After 13 episodes of Mr. Lloyds telling Kotetsu [[CatchPhrase "If you don't like it you can quit!"]] when Kotetsu says he'd rather quit being a hero than sing he reacts with a horrified "You absolutely cannot quit! Don't ever say that to me again!" It's {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in a round about way by Barnaby saying that Mr. Lloyds has changed.
** Kotetsu showing off his "moves".
** The print on the towel Kotetsu gives Karina reads "Kaburagi Wine and Spirits".
** Karina telling Kotetsu that she'll treasure the towel he gave her and then running off with a silly grin on her face while Kotetsu stares after her and looks completely baffled.
*** In general, Kotetsu being [[ObliviousToLove completely oblivious]] to all of Karina's {{tsundere}} behavior.
* Episode 15:
** When Tiger and Barnaby do a radio show together Tiger has some mild flirting with the female presenter, then cut to a blatantly jealous Karina stomping on the radio in the Heroes gym calling Tiger an idiot.
** Keith mentioning that he's in love. The girls ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[CampGay Fire Emblem]]) immediately give him advice, which he uses (to no avail). Also Nathan comments that everyone seems to be falling in love while looking right at Karina.
*** Also, [[CampGay Nathan's]] love advice for Keith? Teaching him how to generate BishieSparkle, of course!
** Barnaby Brooks Jr. finds himself the subject of a swimsuit photo shoot. [[ButtMonkey Kotetsu]] gets to participate too, [[http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8364/tumblrlpcvshvusi1qfj0h5.jpg though not quite in the same way]].
* Episode 17:
** After coming back home, Kotetsu denies feeling bad and says so to his mother while she's caring for the garden. As he's going to Kaede's room, his mother says she knew it, that there's someone not well, Kotetsu comes back to deny... And sees she was talking to a plant.
** Kotetsu deciding to wait for Kaede in her room... And [[HilarityEnsues being himself]]:
*** The room itself is pretty normal, for a Barnaby fan. After all, the various posters or the plushie of Barnaby ''in a bunny costume'' are something a fan could procure.
*** Being himself, Kotetsu looks around and through Kaede's stuff... And finds her ''enormous'' stash of Barnaby pictures. He's still wondering about that when Kaede arrives.
*** After getting his daughter mad, Kotetsu innocently offers to bond with Kaede by [[BathtubBonding taking a bath together]]... And gets called a pervert. And then he responds to the accusation by wondering where she learned that word.
** After dinner he tries to apologize, but she won't open the door of her room. Then he says he got her Barnaby's autograph, and that if she forgives her-[[TheDoorSlamsYou And that's when Kaede's slams the door on his face in the haste to see it]].
** After a long heartfelt talk with his brother at the bar of the family liquor store, Kotetsu makes to leave when Muramasa calls him back... To charge him for his drink.
* Episode 18:
** Blue Rose pretending that she doesn't care that Kotetsu is back, and everyone (starting with the overly-honest Sky High) calling her on it.
** [[spoiler:Kaede dealing with her newly-activated powers: first her copy of Hundred Power, and later magnetism.]]
*** [[spoiler:During Kotetsu's call with his mother, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent you can see]] various metal objects getting stuck to Kaede while Muramasa tries to pry them off her. He successfully removes one of them... only for it to get attached to Kaede again.]]
** [[{{Tsundere}} Karina]] sticking out her tongue [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]] in the beginning when Barnaby says his call is from Lloyds, not Kotetsu.
* Episode 19:
** [[ManChild Kotetsu]] riding the animatronic tiger at the mall. While having a serious phone conversation.
** And Barnaby's reaction to Kotetsu's attempts to "ruin" his precious "genuine leather" jacket.
* Episode 20:
** Karina with cucumber slices on her face is funny to start with, then Kotetsu walks in:
--->'''Kotetsu:''' What happened to you? Fall asleep in your salad?\\
'''Karina:''' [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl Kyaaaaa!]] [''does a Cutie Escape and hides behind Sky High, who looks rather bemused'']
** Kotetsu constantly getting sidetracked from [[spoiler: drinking the drugged coffee]]. Repeatedly. While [[spoiler:Maverick]] looks on in silently mounting frustration. Might be the most hilarious and epic example of unintentional {{troll}}ing of all.
** Kotetsu trying to convince the security guard that he is, in fact, Wild Tiger.
** Sky High's little moment of ComicallyMissingThePoint.
--->'''Fire Emblem:''' I'm a bit worried about Handsome.\\
'''Sky High:''' I'll say. [''[[TheComicallySerious completely serious]]''] Hosting a big event like that sounds stressful.
* Episode 21:
** Kotetsu trying to convince a crowd [[spoiler: he's not the bad guy as the huge big screen behind him is flashing wanted posters and fugitive warnings]].
** Origami Cyclone ambushing Kotetsu by [[spoiler:turning into his wanted poster]] is this and awesome.
** Kotetsu's variation of the Cutie Escape during his fight with [[spoiler:Black Suit Wild Tiger]].
--->'''Kotetsu:''' Are you serious? In that case... [''does an AsskickingPose as though preparing to fight, then suddenly turns and runs off''] See ya!
* Episode 22:
** Kotetsu doing double thumbs-ups trying to make [[spoiler: the other heroes remember]].
*** Ben {{lampshade|Hanging}}s how ridiculous Kotetsu's plan to [[spoiler: restore the heroes' memories]] looks. The incredulous delivery of his line really sells it.
** Kotetsu getting freaked out when he thinks that Ben is going to [[spoiler: turn him in to the police]].
** Dragon Kid calling Kotetsu a stalker after [[spoiler: he revealed some of their intimate secrets]]. The fact Sky High thinks [[spoiler: he should have been convinced by the egg-yolk 'secret']].
** [[spoiler: Kotetsu being mad at Bison and his reaction.]]
** Kaede's death glares at Kotetsu [[spoiler: when she finds out his secret and he can't come up with a good excuse why he didn't tell her]].
* Episode 23:
** [[spoiler:Barnaby, who is in the middle of attacking Kotetsu with the intent to kill, suddenly calling it off just because Kotetsu calls him "Bunny"]] is totally grin-worthy.
** While [[spoiler: Tiger hugging Barnaby is heartwarming, Barnaby's reaction to being all but [[TheGlomp glomped]] is really funny]].
** The English dub gives us this gem when the heroes wake up in their cells:
--->'''Nathan:''' I am going to bitch-slap someone for this!
** "YOUR CAR DOES INDEED SUCK."
* Episode 24: Somehow, [[spoiler:Kotetsu's "death scene" managed to both be heartbreakingly tragic and funny. Because really, with last words like "You have really long eyelashes?" It might induce guilt, but it's hard not to laugh.]]
* Episode 25:
** [[spoiler: Kotetsu wondering why no one bothered to check to see if he had a pulse after he passed out.]]
** The line Kotetsu says [[spoiler: [[DynamicEntry after he wakes up]]]] is very cool, but then we find out he totally rehearsed that.
** Just after that [[spoiler: Kaede and Barnaby go over to Kotetsu when they see he's OK. Then [[InelegantBlubbering Blue Rose runs over to him bawling at the top of her lungs]], [[ObliviousToLove Kotetsu looks kinda bemused by her being that upset]] followed by [[CampGay Fire Emblem]] telling Kotetsu he shouldn't make girls cry, the fact ''he'' is also sobbing makes it uncertain if he's talking about Kaede, Blue Rose or himself.]]
*** Though he was probably talking about all three of them...as in, including himself in "The Girls' Team" again.
** [[spoiler: Origami Cyclone scaring Kotetsu by chucking his giant throwing-star at an escaping Maverick in a needlessly showy and thus awesome manner.]]
** The book Karina is reading at the end has an oddly specific title: [[spoiler:"100 Ways To Make A Single Father Fall For You"]].
*** Don't forget about the label advertising it as [[CampGay Fire Emblem's]] favorite.
** After time skip: [[spoiler: [[RunningGag Barnaby once again saving Tiger from falling on top of a very expensive car with a princess carry]], and after that, the argument over who's gonna pay for the car they just destroyed.]]
*** [[spoiler: Especially the fact that they have most of their conversation ''while Barnaby is still holding Tiger''.]]
!! Season 2
* In a callback to Season 1's episode closers, during Season 2 Episode 4 Kotetsu, Barnaby and Nathan are having a conversation over lunch. Kotetsu ''drenches'' his meal of deep-fried rice balls in mayonnaise. Barnaby is visibly (and audibly) grossed out.
--->'''Barnaby:''' ''Eugh.''
* In S2 Episode 6, Kotetsu gets Lara a lollypop as a welcome back gift after she recovers from a field injury. The others scold him for his choice of gift. So does Barnaby, who's pointedly holding his gift behind his back. When Lara and Pao-Lin make an abrupt departure, Kotetsu turns to look at Barnaby and sees that his welcome back gift was ''also a lollypop''. The dirty look Barnaby gets is pretty hilarious.
* Season 2 Episode 8 has Subaru asking Thomas what Yuri Petrov, who he refers as their "Vampire Boss", meant by Thomas's sister and how she related to why Thomas brutally attacked a robber. Meanwhile, Barnaby is vocally confused about who the "Vampire Boss" Subaru is talking about.
* At the start of episode 10, the sheer irony of judge Petrov, AKA Lunatic, having to ask the Heroes if one of them sent to the hospital the guy who [[spoiler:left Barnaby in a coma]] and them wondering if it had been Lunatic - idea immediately dismissed because the criminal ''survived''.
* In the midst of conflict for the 1st half, we had this on Episode 12 where Barnaby, [[spoiler: after he awakes from his coma,]] blocks Kotetsu in the attempt for a hug, much to the latter's chagrin.
--->'''Kotetsu:''' ''*grunts angrily*'' Come on! Aren’t you at least gonna let me give you a hug?\\
'''Barnaby:''' Save it, Kotetsu. We don’t have time to celebrate right now.
** And later, at the same scene where Subaru explains Hugan’s powers...
--->'''Kotetsu:''' Alright, so how is he made that work?\\
'''Subaru:''' I don’t really know, but when I was punching out with my barrier he went all BOOM! ...or some kind of like that.\\
[''{{Beat}}'']\\
'''Thomas:''' Hugan can absorb his opponent’s attacks, and then he just sends it right back.\\
'''Kotetsu & Barnaby:''' I see. / Seriously?\\
'''Subaru:''' But that’s what I just said.
* Upon learning that Mr. Legend is Yuri's father in Episode 20, Kotetsu brings out a freak shock so loud that Barnaby has to calm him down.

!! Movies
* In the middle of ''The Beginning'', in an almost OutOfCharacterMoment, as Keith and Ivan are running to get suited up, Ivan asks why Keith isn't flying, to which Keith responds that he needs a jetpack to fly, or else he'll just float. Keith then immediately begins floating around Ivan like he's made of helium and scaring the crap out of the poor boy.
* There's something strangely hilarious about the revelation in ''The Beginning'' that Barnaby doesn't like pickles. It's such a specific, childish quirk...
** The hero party in general, since Kotetsu lied about who wanted to meet who to get them there.
* From ''The Rising'':
** Rock Bison's attempts to compensate for his low popularity involve trying to imitate his co-workers in various ways, such as trying to sneak his way into photos like Origami Cyclone or whipping out an InTheNameOfTheMoon speech that blatantly rips off Blue Rose's.
** The citizens keep calling Kotetsu by his real name, and he insists that a hero's identity should be secret, only to be reminded that ship had sailed.
** [[{{Troll}} Saito doing to Ryan the same suit comparison he had done to Kotetsu]], [[InsufferableGenius down to insulting Ryan's old suit]]... And then, when Ryan doesn't care, complaining that Kotetsu had given him a much better reaction.
** This gem:
--->'''Nathan:''' "I'm sick of getting dicked around. I'd rather be doing the dicking. "
** Kaede's constant refusal to let her dad hug her.
** When Kotetsu goes to tell Karina to go out and help apprehend the villains, she replies he can't contain [[spoiler:Nathan's]] out-of-control flames with a fire extinguisher. In response, he shows her his ''dozen'' of fire extinguishers.
** TheStinger, with Kotetsu and Barnaby riding down the street in their motorcycle.
--->'''Kotetsu''': [[spoiler:Hey, how about I drive for a cha--]]\\
'''Barnaby''': [[spoiler:[[DeadpanSnarker Not gonna happen.]]]]
!! Others
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQAena9i9Zc The pilot]], completely narrated in SugarWiki/{{Surprisingly Good|ForeignLanguage}} English is the perfect example of NarmCharm.
** "The veteran with a beard! :D"
* Here's a fun trick: Take a look at a picture of Barnaby. Now take a look at [[Creator/MasakazuMorita Barnaby's VA]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9l1OMR-zF4&feature=player_embedded this video]]. [[CelebrityResemblance Somebody's been getting a little too into their role]].
* From the special "Tiger & Bunny Special Edition: Side Bunny":
** As a thank you for their help in taking Jake down, Barnaby has invited the other heroes to his flat for a party. [[CampGay Nathaniel]] thanks him in a way that almost suggests they're about to have sex for the first time.
** Barnaby suddenly realizes that the men aren't in the living room. Where are they? Ransacking his bedroom-and trying his dozen of spare glasses.
*** [[TheBigGuy Antonio]] has bent the frames of the pair he was trying, as otherwise they wouldn't fit his larger face. Ivan, on the other hand, turned into Barnaby to make sure he wouldn't.
** Irked, Barnaby suggests they hold the girls as example of how to act. He then notices they're trying out his bed and really like the bunny plushie Kotetsu gave him as a birthday present.
** Whenever Barnaby speaks of the girls of the team, he includes [[CampGay Nathaniel]].
* From the special "Tiger & Bunny Special Edition: Side Tiger":
** A month after his comeback, Kotetsu has invited Barnaby to his home to celebrate. Turns out, Barnaby thought he wanted a repeat of the party at his home, so he brought the entire team-and Pao-Lin and Keith can be seen ransacking the place as they talk with Kotetsu.
** Antonio says he has been to Kotetsu's home as many times as there are cows.
** While the others were talking, Nathaniel has found Kotetsu's ''PornStash''. Or rather, magazines of a famous actress he's a fan of that show her in rather "minimalistic" clothes.
*** The fact ''Kotetsu'' has a PornStash.
*** [[{{Tsundere}} Karina]]'s offended reaction.
*** Nathaniel leafing through the porn stash-and finding "her"self wanting.
* From the special "Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth":
** On Agnes' orders, the heroes have to form a band, but she couldn't decide what to have Kotetsu do. His idea? ''Tambourine''.
** Antonio protests he wants to try out singing, and Karina, who should have the vocals as the one who's actually a singer, decides that if he wants he can have them. So they decide with a vote by raising hands... And only Antonio does it, as Karina is just better and they know.
** After that Antonio demands to play the bass to stand out more, Kotetsu convinces him to stick to the drums as Agnes decides because the bass is easy (as far as he know) but the drums control the performance... And suddenly, Ivan wants to play the bass ''because it's easy''. After Pao-Lin, who has actual experience with both bass and drums, speaks out, it ends with Antonio and Ivan in the chorus and Pao-Lin at the drums.
*** Antonio's faces during the whole discussion.
** During the latest mission, Nathaniel injuries his arm and can't play the bass. Antonio is about to [[BlatantLies volunteer because there's no other choice]]... And Keith steals the job because he sings horribly and is better out of the chorus.
* The manga anthologies feature some pretty hilarious moments from Ivan.
** In one story, a well-meaning Kotestu agrees to explain Japanese culture to Ivan, who proceeds to dress up in traditional Japanese attire and run around the city like a lunatic, following his 'natural instincts' to photobomb. The news reports on the events as though Ivan is some sort of cryptid rather than an actual human being.
** Ivan fights a group of thugs while transformed into Barnaby, but does not take into account that Barnaby's longer legs give him a wider range and is shocked when he tries to kick one of his attackers and it actually connects. Seeing the man he hit was injured, Ivan frantically apologizes for having long legs, which the thugs take as bragging and scold him for lording his height over them.
** Agnes forces Ivan to replace Barnaby for a few of his appearances while the hero is getting medical tests done. Everything goes very badly due to Ivan's anxiety until Kotetsu likens the situation to a sort of samurai tactic, at which point he gives it his all.
** There's a running gag of Ivan visiting Edward in prison and giving him odd, Japanese-themed presents that make absolutely no sense for the context (i.e. a holiday gift in the wrong time of year). Even better, Ivan likes to make the gifts himself in massive amounts, which end up crowding Edward's cell.
* The prequel oneshot manga of the second season is full of this:
** Kotetsu complaining of a change of suit through TransformationTrinket. After using it for first time with Barnaby? The reaction akin to an excited [[FanBoy fanboy]]!
** Barnaby had to explain what Mr. Saito had told him and Kotetsu (and the readers) about the Storage Bangle... because Kotetsu’s canker sore disturbs him from listening properly.
** Apparently a finger and face authentication were needed to register the data on their bracelets in case something happens. How they do the latter through pictures is... awkward, especially Barnaby’s.
*** Then the extended version [[spoiler:taking place after Season 2]] reveals that Kotetsu looks at it so often that Barnaby is obviously unhappy about this.
** Kotetsu thinking of another way to register data: [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull by shouting a transformation phrase!]] ...through answering a secret question. Barnaby obviously rejects this simply because people will knew Kotetsu transforms by shouting his mother’s maiden name[[note]]Anju '''Yamamoto'''[[/note]] (complete with the imagined outcome) and that would be uncool.
*** Then he "creates" a transformation phrase by shouting maiden name of Barnaby’s mother[[note]]Emily '''Hampshire'''[[/note]]. “Time to transform! '''HAMPSHIRE'''!!”
** The extended version of the manga has Kotetsu and Barnaby playing Connect the Word game. Kotetsu wants Barnaby to try another words which the latter refuses, much to his chagrin.
