1 This is today's target! Homicidal NEXT, Kotetsu T.
Kaburagi.
He is suspected of killing 68-year-old Samantha Taylor, a resident of Sternbild.
Which Hero is going to arrest This vicious criminal? Dad What's going on? Damn! Is it broken? Now of all times? Hey, wait You've got the wrong idea.
I'm not who you think! It's the murderer! Hello? Damn! All personal data regarding Kotetsu Kaburagi's association with HERO TV personnel has been deleted from the network servers, sir.
Good work.
I could have reclaimed the torn page Now I don't remember where I dropped it Yet what bothers me most is that there's no beauty looking forward After all, I did have a chapter about my dream What can I hate? My past? Myself? I only wish it could be someone else We imagine such a future But even after we lose it, we'll still be the heroes of our story And even if the future is bleak, so long as we have the present we will write as many chapters of this dream as we need The police have yet to find any What's the deal here, Ms.
Agnes?! trace of the suspect in this murder.
Who is this? It's me, Kotetsu! Kotetsu? Kotetsu Kaburagi?! Is this some sort of special event for HERO TV?! Nobody told me anything about this! Are you really Kotetsu Kaburagi? Of course I am! I'm near the studio right now.
What should I do? Kotetsu Kaburagi is near the studio! Get everyone to the scene right away! Huh? You've got some guts challenging us like this.
Do you really think you'll be able to get away that easy? Huh? What are you talking about, Ag— Kotetsu Kaburagi, suspected murderer of Samantha Taylor! Huh? You're surrounded.
Quietly turn yourself in! Quit showing off! I didn't do anything! That is not for me to judge.
The courts will decide whether you're innocent or not! I shall capture you! You never listen, do you?! Sky High! Huh? Hey! What the hell is going on? The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
Please check Don't worry.
I'm sure this is all just a misunderstanding.
I know, Grandma.
Kaede I know Dad wouldn't do something that bad.
He's a liar, and he's silly, but Dad would never kill anyone! Never! Right.
Actually, Kaede.
Your father's real job is being a Hero.
What? He wasn't able to be by your side because he's been keeping peace in the city as a Hero.
I'm sorry for not telling you.
You're kidding I'm not kidding.
You know of Wild Tiger, don't you, Kaede? He's your father.
There was a call from the fugitive, Kotetsu Kaburagi.
He's still hiding within the city.
Set up checkpoints everywhere you can! Isn't there any information on Kotetsu Kaburagi? Aside from the fact that he's a NEXT, we haven't been able to find anything on him.
I should have known.
Well, someone sure looks all pumped and ready.
There's nowhere to run! Origami! So you finally showed up! Wait.
Now, then.
Come quietly! I said wait! A Hero like me would never kill someone! This is some kind of mistake! The criminal has got some nerve calling himself a Hero.
Huh? What? Wait a second, it's me! Take a good look! Kotetsu Kaburagi That's right! You're under arrest! Explain to me what's going on! Can't you tell who—? There's nothing to explain! Earning points by capturing crooks like you is our job! You idiot! I'm your best friend.
Best friend? What nonsense is that, you low life?! What?! Okay, that's it You bastard! This guy He's a power-type NEXT! Come back here! The murderer showed up at his home, but he has disappeared once again! Also, the suspect, Kotetsu T.
Kaburagi is rumored to be a power-type NEXT.
How do you feel? Sorry for all the trouble, sir.
I'm fine now.
I'll head out to make the arrest right now.
I see.
This is perfect.
A new version of the Hero suit was in development, and I've just received word that yours was completed.
For me? Yes.
New suits for both you and Tiger.
Now the stage is set.
That hurt.
That cow is hard as a rock.
This one's gonna be a pain in the neck.
Damn it! I'm not some sewer rat.
I'm Wild Tiger! Dad is Wild Tiger Yeah, I'm not worried.
I know it's all just some misunderstanding, Mom.
Anyway, how's Kaede? She's taking it quite well.
It seems she's more mature than we thought.
I see.
That's good.
Kaede? You don't give up, do you? Do you think you can just run away from me? I'm not running away because I want to, you know?! See? I told you.
There's nowhere for you to run.
You murderer.
I told you, I didn't kill anyone! How man times do I have to say this?! There's proof.
It would be best if you admitted to your crimes, Kotetsu Kaburagi.
What happened to you guys? Why don't you recognize me? Come on, it's me! Remember that time when you weren't sure about your career? How I gave you a tip at the bar because I thought your singing was good? What are you talking about? What? Wild Tiger was the one who tipped me.
How do you know about my private life?! Because I'm Wild Tiger! Stop joking around.
Nobody knows Wild Tiger's true identity.
You have some nerve to make that claim just because we don't know his real face or name.
Hey, wait a second, What do you mean? Freeze! I'll show no mercy if you insist on talking such nonsense.
You're the one who's talking nonsense! Did you even forget about the time I gave you that towel too? Remember? I spilled coffee on your towel and ruined it.
And I gave you a really cool towel to replace it.
I really am Wild Tiger! Please believe me! Did you remember? Damn! Who is it this time?! Wild Tiger? GO NEXT! First in taste, pepsi NEX! Ah, looks like we're finally back on air.
And suddenly, Wild Tiger! And suddenly, Wild Tiger! Debuting in a wild new suit! J Is the suspect finally going to be arrested?! You've got to be kidding me.
I'm Wild Tiger! So who are you?! Are you serious? Guess I have no choice.
See ya! Who the hell are you? And what's with that suit?! Aww, you already found him?! You always steal the show, Lil' Tiger Hey Who are you talking to? Who am I talking to? Don't you know who Wild Tiger is? But I'm Wild Tiger! You lied about being Wild Tiger.
Hey, what happened to you guys? Aren't we friends who have fought alongside each other? Have you really forgotten who I am? What is this creepy old man talking about? Hurry up and take him away.
Is this how it's going to end for you? Lunatic?! Wait! Wait a second! I'm not the murderer.
Reflect carefully upon your actions.
Why are you helping me? Passing judgment on those who are truly sinful is my idea of justice.
Therefore, allowing you to be captured by the hands of false justice goes against my beliefs.
Say what? Kotetsu Kaburagi Is this how you're going to let your idea of justice end? What do you think you're doing?! You plan on defending that murderer?! No.
I only obey the voice of Thanatos.
Kotetsu T.
Kaburagi, the suspect in this case, is still on the run.
Why did Lunatic The Heroes are continuing Help me? Hey to track him down.
This is my spot, so could you go somewhere else, new guy? It looks like we've got some I'm not a new guy.
breaking news on this story.
I don't care.
You're ruining my business by staying here.
Come on, out, out! We have a scoop! Our camera has caught the Number One Hero, Mr.
Barnaby Brooks, Jr.
, who was reported to be resting away from home! What? Bunny! He's safe.
During his time away, Barnaby is said to have been staying at Mr.
Albert Maverick's vacation home.
Huh? Please, rest assured, the criminal terrorizing this city will be brought to justice by Barnaby, who is thirsting for vengeance.
The victim, Ms.
Samantha Taylor, was one of the few people he could call family.
It's a scoop! Dig up information on the victim right away! Mr.
Maverick was with Bunny all this time? I thought that you might know what had happened to him.
Ms.
Samantha has a photograph she wants to show you.
This is Reflect carefully upon your actions.
I get it now.
Huh? Aren't you? Ben! It's me! Get in.
Thank goodness.
You still remember me.
There's no one else I can rely on anymore.
I figured you would pass by eventually if I stayed there.
Where are you going? Ben? Don't tell me you forgot who I am too? Shut up and stay put.
Hey Don't take me to the police.
I really didn't do anything! Please! Stop the car! Believe me, Ben! Calm down, Kotetsu.
And you call yourself a Hero? I don't know what happened to you, but we're pals who fought alongside each other for years.
You like these even if they're cold, right? Jeez, I figured you might be hungry so I was looking for you.
And you think I've forgotten you? Sorry.
I won't forget you, no matter what! After all, I am your fan! Hey, is this?! Yeah, Brings back memories.
doesn't it? This suit is filled with the memories of the good old times we spent together.
I always keep it with me.
Ben! Hey, it's all wrinkled.
Don't worry about little things like that.
Anyway, I'm surprised, Kotetsu.
When I turned on the TV, they were treating you as if you were a murderer! I've been framed.
This is where Dad works? Sorry, Grandma.
Young lady, are you lost? No, umm I want to meet Barnaby! Barnaby? Yeah.
I figured that Barnaby might help me out.
I see.
You're one of Barnaby's fans, aren't you? Thank you.
Unfortunately, he's busy.
He can't help you with your request at the moment.
Sorry.
I see.
This is all Maverick's doing, huh? It certainly makes sense.
He even went through the trouble of getting someone to pretend to be me.
Who is that guy? Wow.
You've made enemies with the wrong guy.
It always happens to me.
But if that's the case, I'm concerned about Barnaby.
Yeah.
I'm sure that he doesn't remember me at all just like everyone else.
Are you saying that Maverick is the reason why they've forgotten about you? Who knows? I don't know if it's his doing or some other NEXT.
In any case, a NEXT power is definitely the cause of this.
So what now? For now, I'm going to try to make them remember that I'm the real Wild Tiger.
But how? I have a plan.
A plan? I wouldn't be able to do this without you, Ben.
What's wrong? Well A man who resembles Kotetsu Kaburagi is on the roof of Apollon Media.
A man who resembles him? Yes.
He says he's the real Wild Tiger and he wants us to call over all of the Heroes.
What does that mean? What is this? Looks like most of you are here.
All right, it's time to let out a wild roar.
In a corner of the city dyed gray, I was seeing a dream, no more than my imagination I somehow started thinking about the meaning of existence But I never knew myself nor the truth nor my dreams.
Nothing And in such a world, I was asked, "Just what is it you can do?" And I felt like your smile was teaching me And I felt like I was experiencing the pain of having found the light Arms outstretched, everyone loses sight of the eternal truth trying to grasp their fleeting dreams.
I wish to believe that the one who brought light to the endless gray of tomorrow wasn't just anyone I will forever share both my past and my future What is that? Dad? What is he planning to do? Hi! I'm Kotetsu, the member of "Tiger & Bunny" who looks through the ads first when he reads the newspaper! All right! Come at me all at once! Kaede?! Why are you here? No! Next time on Tiger & Bunny: Damn!
