Tiger & Bunny Advent Calendar 2024 Day 22
Favorite Fanart
It was so hard to choose because I love them all, but this one caught my eye. Seriously, Apollon Media, why won't you use these suits? Is it because of Saito? If it is, then for Christmas, I'm giving him a piece of my mind.

Tiger & Bunny Advent Calendar 2024 Day 21
Giving a song to a character or paring.
I would to assign this song to Subaru Sengoku/Mr. Black.
youtube
Can you imagine his reaction to this?
Tumblr media
Ugh, when did I sing this? I don't remember singing this. How could I have sung this? Thomas, did you ever hear me sing this or remember me singing this?
Tumblr media
Thomas: Not that I'm aware of. Was I suppose to?
Subaru: See? I don't remember singing this... Not that I'm complaining. I wish I had. I know I sang choir once, but I sounded good in this one.
Tumblr media
... Hey, when was the last time we released an album with character songs in it?
Tumblr media
Sweet! I normally not into this stuff, but I'm willing to take a whack at it.
Thomas: ... I'll sing, but only for Ruby.
NOTE: This was the only full Robbie Daymond song I could find other than The Ballad of Bertrand Bell. Unless Robbie records a song about Subaru and a duet with Josh Keaton as Subaru and Thomas, I'm working with what I got.

Tiger & Bunny Advent Calendar 2024 Day 20
Me in Sternbild City, Home of the Heroes
Well, as you may have guessed from some of my non-Tiger & Bunny posts, I am a witch. So if I lived in Sternbild, I would probably open a New Age/metaphysical shop, most likely on the Bronze or Silver Stage. I can just see either Karina or (and I really hope) Kotetsu noticing my shop either to buy incense (especially if it's for Barnaby), oils, herbs, and/or crystals or there mystical items. Or they could ask me for a reading, I would laying down the cards, divining the witch wellness stones (courtesy of Salem's Spell, a shout out to them), or just crystal ball gazing.
Although, I don't mind being a hero, as long as I have magic-based NEXT powers (see Day 2). I could be Masked Magician or Mister Magick, just as long as my sponsor doesn't give me anything silly. (Although, if my sponsor is Apollon Media or Jungle, that could be a problem, especially with Lloyds or Carlotta).

Favorite Villain
Well, there are a lot of villains in Tiger & Bunny I do like. But when it comes down to it, only one comes to mind.
This guy.
Tumblr media
No matter how you look at it, Robin Baxter is basically Kid Flash/Wally West and, dare I say it, Deadpool rolled into one. (Especially since all three share the same voice actor.) Something about him just draws you in, probably because he's the villain of the first movie which would be a great point in the series' history.

Tiger & Bunny Merchandise
Well, for a long while, I've always wanted these headphones.
Tumblr media
But after looking back at all my previous headphones, I'm afraid to get these now out of fear that I might break them and I might only get to keep them as a collector's item.
But there is one piece of merch I've had my eye on lately and I really want it. It's this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I always thought Kotetsu was sexier in this suit, can't imagine why Apollon Media didn't want him to use it. I hope to wear this either for Halloween or if I go to a pop culture convention. Now, if only I could find one that's my size and within my price range.
P.S. I want to thank @kura-and-motta. If I hadn't used Google Lens on his cosplay, I never would have found this costume. Thank you.

Together under a starry sky.
NOTE: This takes place in AU since (SPOILER ALERT) at the end of Tiger & Bunny 2, Yuri died. Also, he’s Jewish, based on a piece of fanart I once saw.
It was Christmas Eve in Sternbild again. The shops were lined with decorations of holly, tensile, lights, and popular Christmas figures of Santa and such. The streets were full of vehicles either trying to return home for the Holidays or going to parties or getting last minute gifts or food. But no place in Sternbild was busier than the Sternbild Mall.
The Sternbild Mall was bustling with last minute shoppers, adults taking their children to take pictures with Santa Clause, and those just wanting to hang out with friends and family either in the food court or, the most popular, ice-skating in the mall’s skating rink.
Barnaby Brooks Jr. took some children from the orphanage to the mall to shop for presents or take pictures with Santa. Barnaby also convinced Kotetsu Kaburagi, the hero formally known as Wild Tiger, along with Antonio Lopez (Rock Bison) and Ivan Karelin (Origami Cyclone), to help out. Kotetsu also brought his daughter, Kaede, as well. However, she wasn’t too happy when her father had her take a picture with Santa, as well.
“Think of it as stocking stuffer for your grandma,” assured Kotetsu. “You and I know she’ll love it.”
“Okay,” Kaede groaned in defeat. “But only if Barnaby is in the shot with me.”
“I don’t mind,” said Barnaby.
Barnaby goes next to Santa with Kaede while Kotetsu goes to the other side.
“I said if Barnaby was in the shot,” scolded Kaede.
“Why not?” said Kotetsu, shocked.
“If I wanted Grandma to have a picture of both you and Barnaby together, I’ll just give her one of my pictures.”
“But I don’t you have any pictures of us with you in it,” said Barnaby, with a smile.
Kaede just couldn’t say no Barnaby when he makes that smile and lets Kotetsu in the shot.
“Somethings never change,” Ivan said to himself quietly.
After the pictures were taken, Kotetsu noticed something.
“Where’s Antonio?” he asked.
“He said he wanted to do some last minute shopping,” answered Ivan.
“Let me guess: For Agnes?”
“Who else?”
“I take you’re still upset that when you found out he was getting a gift for someone during the X Incident, it was for Agnes and not you?” asked Barnaby.
Ivan was silent for a little bit and finally answered, “Maybe a little… Probably for the best.”
“And why is that?”
“Well, if Antonio had gotten me a gift… Edward would surely be jealous.”
Everyone, even Ivan, couldn’t help but laugh at that.
Meanwhile, in a jewelry store, Antonio was having a hard time trying to decide what to get Agnes for Navidad (Christmas). There were many trinkets to choose from, but which one would be perfect for a woman of power like Agnes Joubert… Especially one in his price range. True, his shared payment with Ivan is good, but his sole payment from Kronos Foods hasn’t been looking so good.
“I guess that like Origami Cyclone a little more than Rock Bison,” Antonio remembered his boss saying.
“If you are not going to buy anything,” said the snooty salesclerk. “I must ask you politely to leave.”
“Hold your cattle,” said Antonio, his gaze still fixed on the display case. “I’m still making up my mind.”
“You should get her something in gold,” said a voice behind Antonio.
He turns around to see Ryan Goldsmith and Karina Lyle.
“It’s okay, I’ll vouch for him,” said Ryan.
“Certainly, Mr. Gold,” said the salesclerk. “By the way, I’m a huge fan of yours. How about later, you can get me an autograph. I would also like to get one from Blue Rose for my kids.”
“I think I can arrange that. I’ll even have them ready in time for Christmas.”
The salesclerk leaves.
“You know you have to charge him for my autograph, right?” asked a stern Karina.
“I’ll pay for it,” assured Ryan. “In the meantime, what’s eating you, Antonio? Trying to find something nice for your mother?”
“Ha, ha. Very funny,” said Antonio, sarcastically.
“You’re looking for something for Agnes, right?” asked Karina. “You should get her some ruby earrings. She has a thing for red.”
“Too expensive. The best I can get her is something from the desk display.”
“Those ones are always not that impressive,” said Ryan.
“I know. But things haven’t been going well at Kronos Foods for me.”
“What about your shared payment with Ivan?” asked Karina. “You still have that, right?”
“Why do you think I’m looking at the desk?”
Antonio just looks back at the display, completely unsure.
“I just want to get her something special. Like the gift she got me for my birthday the other week.”
“I still can’t believe she actually got a gift for someone,” said Ryan, still remembering the party at Justice Tower.
Antonio looks at his wrist. The gift Agnes got him for his birthday was gold bracelet with a topaz buffalo head whose eyes are zircon, both are Antonio’s birthstones.
“What could I possibly get her that could top this?”
“Well, you could get her that cake at the bakery we just passed,” suggested Ryan. “We know should love it. Especially with-“
“Ryan!” scolded Karina.
“Sorry.”
“Look, Antonio, we know how much you like Agnes, we really do. And we can tell she likes you, too. I’m sure that whatever you get her, she will like it. It’s the thought that counts.”
“I know,” said Antonio.
He takes another look at the display case until, he spots something. There, just a little on the side that one could be forgiven for not noticing them sooner, were two plain gold pendants, each looking like the broken half of a heart.
“I think I know which one,” said Antonio.
“Would you like those monogramed?” asked the salesclerk. “It’s cost extra, though.”
“I’ll think about it.”
The clerk goes to get the key for the case.
“By the way,” said Antonio. “What brings you two here? Doing some shopping yourselves?”
“We already did all our shopping online,” said Karina. “We’re here to do a show at the skating rink.”
“That reminds me,” said Ryan. “Have you figured which song your gonna sing?”
“I’ve decided the classic All I Want For Christmas Is You. And what about you? You’re still not thinking of singing that one, are you?”
“Say what you will, the King killed it with Blue Christmas. I don’t know why you’re so upset about it.”
“Well, we still need a song for the duet.”
“Have you thought of one, yet?” asked Antonio.
Ryan and Karina just stare at each other.
“We’re working on it,” answered Ryan, nervously.
“Your purchase is ready,” announced the clerk.
Antonio paid for the pendants and he, Karina, and Ryan leave the store.
“I need to catch up with Kotetsu and the others,” said Antonio. “Barnaby brought the orphans, Kotetsu brought Kaede, and I brought… Ivan.”
“We’ll see you at the show,” said Karina and she and Ryan left.
Antonio managed to catch up with the others.
“We’re going to take the kids ice-skating and then watch the show before we leave,” said Barnaby.
“Yeah, I ran into them,” said Antonio. “But I have to warn you, Ryan’s singing a song by the King.”
“Oh brother,” said one of the orphans.
Later at the skating rink, the party was skating on the ice. Kotetsu and Antonio were not so graceful, unlike Barnaby and Kaede where were practically swans out there. Ivan stayed off the ice to watch the gifts they bought.
“Sorry, Ivan,” said Kotetsu. “You drew the shortest straw.”
Ivan watched as the others enjoyed the ice.
It’s probably for the best, Ivan thought to himself. We’re an odd number. No one would partner with me. Now even my partner.
Ivan looked to the side and saw someone selling roasted popcorn. Ivan thought about getting some, but he had to stay and watch the gifts. Suddenly, he saw a sight he never thought he would see. Someone was buying the popcorn and it was…
“One, please,” said Yuri Petrov.
Suddenly, Yuri noticed he was being watched. He recognized Ivan and knew he wanted popcorn, too.
“Make that two,” he said.
After buying the popcorn, he sat down with Ivan and they enjoyed their treat.
“Doing some chopping, I see,” said Yuri.
“Not really,” said Ivan. “I’m just here with them.”
He pointed to his friends one the ice. Barnaby was helping Kotetsu back up after falling on the ice for eighth time with Kaede laughing while Antonio was still trying to keep his balance, much to the orphans’ amusement.
“Someone had to watch their gifts.”
“Are there any there for you?” asked Yuri.
“I don’t really celebrate Christmas. My family’s from Russia. What about you?”
“I’m Jewish. I celebrate Hanukah.”
“Right.”
Ivan and Yuri return to watching the skaters on the ice.
“How are you holding up?” asked Ivan. “I heard about what happened to your mother. It must be hard.”
“It will be different,” answered Yuri. “This will be my first Hanukah without her. It’s always been just use since my father passed.”
“Don’t you have anyone else? Other family members?”
“No. My mother was an only child and didn’t even have cousins. Her parents passed long before I was born. As for my father, he never talked much about his past. Not even his family.”
“How come?”
Yuri was just silent at the moment and finally said, “Like I said, he wouldn’t say.”
“Alright. I won’t pry further. But if you don’t have any plans tonight, you could come to my place. We don’t celebrate Christmas, but my parents come to visit none the less. But my father just had eye surgery, so they can’t make it this year and all my other relatives live too far away.”
“What about the other heroes?”
“Kotetsu and Barnaby are going to a party at Barnaby’s apartment. Antonio’s relatives came over from the West Coast to celebrate Noche Buena. Ryan is going to a Holiday party that Nathan is hosting, I wasn’t invited. Karina is spending it with her parents and grandparents. Keith’s parents are visiting. Pao-Lin went with Lara and her mother to visit their relatives out of town. Same goes for Thomas who is spending it with his sisters and dads in Pleiades and Subaru who went to his hometown of Panjourney.”
“… I’ll think about it. But for now, it’s good to talk to someone about this.”
And Yuri was. The only other people he has ever told that his father was Mr. Legend were Kotetsu and Barnaby.
After some time, Kotetsu, Barnaby, Kaede, Antonio, and he orphans decide to sit down as the stage lit up in front of the Christmas Tree and Blue Rose and Golden Ryan cam on stage.
“Happy Holidays, Sternbild!” cheered Blue Rose.
“Get ready for a golden night!” Golden Ryan also cheered.
Almost everyone in the mall exploded with excitement and holiday spirit.
“Then here we go!” Blue Rose and Golden Ryan said in unison.
Blue Rose then began to sing All I Want For Christmas Is You. Many of the people, most of the men, ended up singing along to this very popular song at this time of year.
“Thank you, everyone!” thanked Blue Rose.
“Now for my go,” said Golden Ryan. “Let’s take it a bit slow with this little number.”
Oh boy, Blue Rose thought to herself.
Golden Ryan begins singing Blue Christmas. Many of the people were weeping over the smooth words of a song that was originally sung by a music legend.
After the song, it was time for Blue Rose and Golden Ryan to do their duet.
“It took a while, but we finally came with a song we can both sing,” said Blue Rose. “A little something a friend of a friend of mine heard. She called them and her friends gave us permission to sing this song.”
“And you can sing it, too,” added Golden Ryan. “So, shall we?”
“Yes!” screamed the crowd in delight.
“Then here we go!” Blue Rose and Golden Ryan said in unison. “Here’s For NEXT Christmas!”
The two heroes began singing their song as many people began singing along. It was a night to remember.
After the show, it was time to call it a night. Antonio found out that Ivan and Yuri were going to spend the night together and decided to invite them come home with him for Noche Buena… He made it hard to refuse.
“Before we go to your place, I’d like to stop by the prison to drop off Edward’s gift,” said Ivan.
“I don’t see why not,” said Antonio. “He’s still your friend.”
Ivan felt a little awkward about visiting a criminal he once tried to kill.
In the parking garage, Antonio, Ivan, and Yuri drive off with Antonio and Ivan in the former’s van with Yuri driving after them. Kotetsu and Barnaby were helping the orphans on the orphanage bus while Kaede was waiting for them in Kotetsu’s car. They notice Blue Rose and Golden Ryan are signing autographs for the jewelry store clerk. After helping the last orphan on the bus, the nun driving it drives off back to the orphanage.
“Thanks again for helping me, today,” said Barnaby. “I really appreciate it.”
“No sweat, Bunny,” said Kotetsu with a smile. “I’m just glad you decided to let my family celebrate at your place. We were going to do it at my place, but the water’s been acting up.”
“Well, to point it out, should have had those pipes checked a long time ago.”
“Well, to be fair, I was kinda busy being a hero. And I’m still kinda busy new with the company.”
“Either way, I’m glad you’re having the party at my apartment. I was going to invite Mattia, but some of his friends from college invited him to catch up out of town. But he said he’ll be back in time for New Year.”
“Yeah.”
Barnaby looks to Kaede in Kotetsu’s car who was on her phone. He sighs.
“Something wrong, Bunny?” asked Kotetsu, a bit concerned.
“I’ve never had a family Christmas since I lost my parents,” answered Barnaby. “I’ve always had Mr. Maverick and Samantha… Well, more like it’s just Samantha since I learned the truth. And since I met all of you, Christmas was no longer lonely. But still, it would be nice to spend it with a family and not just friends.”
“I know how you feel, Bunny. Ever since Tomoe passed away, Christmas hasn’t been the same. There were times I tried to go back to Oriental Town to spend it with Kaede, Muramasa, and my mother, but I had to be a hero. There was nothing I could do. But now that I’m no longer a hero, I have all time in the world to spend it with them… So why aren’t I happy?”
Barnaby places his hand Kotetsu’s unsure face and started to feel more comfortable.
“You’re still a hero, Wild Tiger,” said Barnaby, happy to be with Kotetsu in that moment. “Just in a different way. You still help people one way or another. Having time for your family is just new. Give it time, you’ll get used to it and you’ll be happy. You’ve become your own kind of hero… That’s why I love you for it.”
Kotetsu was very happy to hear that. He always knew his partner believed in him, even though he wouldn’t admit in the past. He places his hand on Barnaby face and stroked it with his knuckles which Barnaby liked.
“And I love you, too, Bunny, for being there for me,” said Kotetsu.
Before either of them knew it, they were now embraced in a passionate kiss… It was a Christmas gift to each other they would never forget.
They part as Kaede begins calling from the car.
“Hey, Barnaby, Uncle Muramasa wants to speak to you!”
Barnaby takes the phone.
“What is it, Muramasa?” he said.
“Hey, Baranby?” said Muramasa’s voice. “You know that big pink flower with the green and yellow leaves?”
“My Coral Orchid? Yes.”
“I have a question… Is it rare and expensive? No, Kaito! Leave the dirt alone!”
Barnaby quickly hands Kaede back her phone.
“I think it’s time to go,” he said.
“I think we better,” said Kotetsu.
With that, Kotetsu, Barnaby, and Kaede were on their way.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
This fanfic is for @pearlnareff for the Tiger and Bunny Secret Santa 2024.

Tiger & Bunny Advent Calendar 2024 Day 16
Pitch for Season 3 or Third Movie.
WARNING: Spoilers for the end of Season 2 ahead.
There's a lot a possibilities for either one, especially after Kotetsu lost his powers for good. Although, I have heard many fans theorizing that Barnaby's friend, Mattia Ingram, might somehow restore Kotetsu's powers using chemistry since he was trying to find a way to give humans NEXT powers. But then, you look back at this:
Tumblr media
When you see this, those theories seem pretty dubious and less likely to happen. But then again, this could be wrong.
I think something will happen and Kotetsu and Barnaby can become partners again. It's like Ryan said, "These two were made for each other." I whole heartedly agree with him and I'm pretty sure you think that way, too.
I'm not sure they'll be ready to make a Season 3, but I think they might be ready for a movie. Maybe it'll show how Kotetsu is trying to cope with his new business, Wild Tiger: Anything Consultation Office, while Barnaby is being paired up with a new partner. Of course, something will happen to get the two to pair up again. After all, the show is called Tiger & Bunny. This series is about them.
Well, until Sunrise or the other guys who are in charge of Tiger & Bunny announce anything, all we can do it hope.

Favorite Character/Paring Rambling
Where to begin? There's just so many to choose from.
I guess when it comes to parings, obviously, it's TaiBani.
Tumblr media
This paring has been around the longest and shows how two opposing forces can work together to, despite the odds. Not to mention they look good doing it.
Though lately, there's another paring that's caught my eye, Mr. Thomas.
Tumblr media
I know I shouldn't be saying that they are basically the younger version of Kotetsu and Barnaby, but one can't help but point it out. I'm not sure why I like Subaru and Thomas so, maybe because, in the English dub, they are voiced by two of my favorite actors, or maybe because they are so well drawn, or maybe because they, like Kotetsu and Barnaby, they balance each other out. But one thing's for sure, I like both these pairings and I hope we get to see more of them in the future, especially if they ever make a Season Three or a third movie.

Alternate Universe
The AU I'm thinking of is based on a Tiger & Bunny fan comic I read on My Reading Manga.
In this AU, Hero TV is actually an online game where players get to become heroes and earn points to make it on top of the leader board and become King of Heroes.
Kotetsu plays this game as Wild Tiger, using only basic gear (aka his crapsuit) much the the confusion of his friends. He reveals that this is because a player he admires so much, who goes by the hero/screen name Mr. Legend, became famous by becoming King of Heroes using only basic gear. Then, he meets a new player who uses his real name, Barnaby. The two of them quickly become friends, Barnaby even gifts him some new gear (his armor suit).
That's all I can say in the matter because, if you've read that fan manga, you know the rest is NSFW.

What would I like Tiger & Bunny collab with next?
Well, I suppose I would like to see them collab with either
Tumblr media
or
Tumblr media
If they collab with ATLUS, obviously, it would be something related to the Persona series, more specifically Persona 5 (Royal/The Phantom X). I guess you can imagine the heroes entering a Palace or Mementos with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to steal some corrupted heart in Sternbild City.
Lifewonders, on the other hand, that would be unique. You're probably already thinking that they would do a crossover with Live A Hero because, well, it's about superheroes and Tiger & Bunny (2) is a superhero anime. But to tell the truth, I would really like it if they did a crossover with Lifewonders' most famous game of all, Tokyo Afterschool Summoners (or Housamo for short). Because, aside from the fact that most of the game is already translated, it would really make it diverse and appealing to a wider audience. I even have the perfect theme for it which combines two of my favorite things: Halloween and night markets. This is because, as most of you know, Halloween is Barnaby's birthday. But if they don't use Halloween, I at least hope they do night markets.

Favorite Tiger & Bunny-related Song
Linear Blue wo Kikinagara performed by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN
This song was the ending song for the first movie, Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning. When I first heard this song (and saw the scenes that were included with the end credits), it become one of my favorites. To me, this song is more like a beginning, as the film's name suggests. It really gets you into the series and can't wait to see what happens next.

WIP
I made this Kotetsu Mask some few years ago. At first, I made it for Halloween, but it didn't go so well. But I did wear it in public once for StocktonCon 2023. It's not very good, but I think I did a good job, but I hope someday I'll afford a proper one.

Favorite Official Art
Tumblr media
It was hard to choose just one, but I think I'll go with this one. Because, you know, Kotetsu/Wild Tiger is the real star of the series, next to Barnaby. I still can't believe Apollon Media wouldn't let him keep this suit, it really shows his stuff. I guess they were more interested in Barnaby's, of course, he's good, too.

I would like magic-based powers. They would obviously work the same way magic does.
I'm working on a fanfiction on Quotev with an OC that has powers similar to magic, but they're actually psychic-based. It's a working progress.
