Or just go to browse and hang out! I promise it will be inspiring :)

Oh hey look it’s my favorite fucking scene in the entire series.

At this point, Barnaby’s been fighting for…God, who knows how long. He hasn’t made any headway. He’s exhausted. He’s utterly alone. He’s been preparing for this moment for twenty years and when it comes down to it, he’s failing and he’s not sure he can win. And if he doesn’t win, he fails not only himself, but the entire city.

And when he finally collapses, Kotetsu shows up out of nowhere to catch him.

Kotetsu, who was beaten so badly at the end of the last episode he ended up in the ICU, who until very recently was unconscious in the hospital. Who used his powers to heal himself just enough that he could get out here to help Barnaby.

Throughout the entire season, Barnaby has been the one who shows up in the nick of time to save Kotetsu. Hell, that’s how we’re introduced to his character. He’s the one who’s popular, who’s the new hotshot, who to all outward appearances doesn’t need any help.

But this scene illustrates more explicitly what we’ve already seen: Barnaby might save Kotetsu, but Kotetsu is always there to save Barnaby right back. It’s not as obvious or as high-profile as Barnaby swooping in to catch Kotetsu as he falls. It’s more subtle, like standing there to offer a listening ear or a show of silent support, a reminder that Barnaby isn’t alone anymore.

And even when they fight, even when Barnaby says “I can’t trust you anymore,” Kotetsu will still be there to catch him. Not with a quip or a joke or any snark, but with a soft smile and asking him if he’s all right.

Because they’re partners, and this is what they do.

[Making of TIGER & BUNNY 2] Episode 2: Morita Masakazu (VA. Barnaby Brooks Jr.) Interview!

Hello, this is the bunny of TIGER & BUNNY, Barnaby’s VA, Morita Masakazu. 

Witnessing TIGER & BUNNY reach it’s 10th anniversary

Yes, it’s a bit of a shocker that it has been 10 years since taibani was released. I was 38 years old at the time, about to turn 39, and now that 10 years have passed I am 49 years old [caption: recorded in 2021]. Next year I will be 50 (laughs). That I can announce taibani season 2 to everyone during my mid life, this time that should be memorable to me, makes me happy. But the me that was acting back then and the me after 10 years, I think there are some areas that have changed and with that I hope that I am able to express that within my enthusiasm towards season 2 of taibani.

Being able to act Barnaby once again

The Barnaby now is, hmm, he is the Barnaby we have seen up until now but, from the image I got when acting him out is that I want to say that he’s changed a bit. When we were doing season 1, at the end he was becoming increasingly human-like, or he started to reek of human-ness*. This time in season 2, through much effort, it was entertaining to see Barnaby having a human-like conversation. But I had never acted that type of Barnaby before so I did think that those scenes were difficult to act.

Which character to focus on in Season 2

Well, of course there are characters other than I (Barnaby) to focus on. Obviously, the buddy we’ve continued to be partnered up with, Kotetsu-san, is one of them but there are also the characters we’ve been with for a while. There is Fire Nathan and Sky High, other members that you will get the chance of seeing a lot. Since it is season 2, well, I can’t say it but, of course there are characters we’ve never seen that will appear, I think they will definitely appear (laughs). So please make sure to, well I’m sure everyone will naturally look at them and of course I want you to focus on them, but there are many new changes concerning the existing characters so please (looks into the camera) check that out. Please. 

To Sternbild citizens,

Yes, to the Sternbild citizens of TIGER & BUNNY, thank you for waiting so long. It had taken 10 years. During these 10 years everyone cheered for this TIGER & BUNNY while in a state of loss, and despite being in a loss, I am grateful to everyone here during the 10 years of nothing. To respond to the drought everyone was experiencing, we finished TIGER & BUNNY 2, so I hope you will look forward to it. 

Other than that, yes, I want to think that Hirata’s interview was played before my interview, and Hirata was looking forward to experiencing this spring with the show’s broadcast, when he was talking about what he wanted to do this spring. For me, yes this spring, well, I know it is tough with this situation, but bit by bit as we return to normalcy, I definitely want to do lots and lots of events as TIGER & BUNNY, something like a national tour or the rowdy TIGER & BUNNY  night events we’ve had in the past. So while doing events like that, I would like to hope we can slowly start filling in the space between everyone and us with a bit of distance. 

And if we go through different prefectures during the event, I would like to go to a place with a hot spring. 10 years ago I was 38 years old, now I am 49 years old. Essentially, hot springs are beloved. They are beloved to me. To any towns with hot springs that are trying to promote themselves, please contact the information below [To all local municipalities that have a hot spring, Please contact Bandai Namco Pictures]. I would love to do an event together (laughs) so I will be grateful if you contact us. Thank you very much. This was Barnaby’s VA, Morita Masakazu.

T/N: Morita rambles. A lot.

* This is not always a negative comment. It can just mean that it is becoming increasingly prominent compared to the past Barnaby we have seen.
