AFFT Event 10/13/2017: Yuri-centric Parts

This one is a long one. But oh-so-worth-it. Some Yuri pieces of information translated from the AFFT Event October 13, 2017

アニメフィルムフェスティバル（AFFT)

アニメ１００周年を記念したフェスティバル。オールナイト上映回や、製作陣によるトークショーなどが行われます。

Anime Film Festival (AFFT)

[TN: I believe the T stands for Tokyo]

A festival commemorating the 100th anniversary of anime. There was an all-night screening (for episodes 14-25 of Season 1), as well as a talkshow with members of the production team.

The production team attendees were Katsura Masakazu, Nishida Masafumi, and Producer Tamura Kazuhiko

Questions were accepted by the team here, and there was a special illustration released for the event.

An English translation of some information from the reports is available here:

Japanese sources available here and here.

TN: Please keep in mind there is no formal report for this event, so this is all information from the fans in attendance. I have no way of determining if Nishida and Katsura were joking with some of their answers, or if they are legit Yuri canon. Comments from the same person have been grouped together.

「ユーリの黒リボンはいつから。」

桂先生「ユーリの初期設定は元相棒で髪ばっさばっさ、西田さんが入って裁判官設定になったから、髪縛らなきゃって思った」

「ラーメン食べるときは?」

桂先生「ダークな人はラーメン食わないわ、心に闇を持っている人は」

「寝るときもばっさばっさ?」

「あいつは素っ裸で寝てるわ!」

When did Yuri start using a black ribbon? (TN: How did Yuri's black ribbon come to be? - conceptually)

Katsura: Yuri's initial setting was (TN: Kotetsu's) a former partner with a lot of hair. Nishida-san joined and made him a judge, so I thought I had to tie his hair.

Does he eat ramen?

Katsura: People with darkness in their hearts don't eat ramen!

How does he cutdown on time at bedtime?

Katsura: He sleeps naked!

(TN: Lmao Katsura used "aitsu" - derogatory form of "That Guy")

Original Tweet

EVERYONE TAKE A DEEP BREATH. HE SLEEPS NAKED!!!!!!!!!

「あいつは素っ裸で寝てるわ!」

ユーリの黒リボン。髪はキャラ作り段階では解いていたが、司法局の設定が加わった為法服に合わせて黒リボン。さすがにバッサァってしとくわけにはいかないからさぁ。寝るときは髪広がってるんでしょうね。あと寝るとき裸でしよ！と西田さん。ユーリさんは寝るときは裸…！

Yuri's black ribbon. His hair was designed at the character creation stage, but when the Judicial Bureau setting was added, it became a black ribbon according to the legal uniform. Naturally he cannot just put it on. I guess his hair is not tied (lit spreads) when he sleeps, and he's naked when he goes to bed! And Mr. Nishida. Yuri is naked when he sleeps...!

(Original Tweet is not public)

I REPEAT: HE SLEEPS NAKED!!!!!

あと寝るとき裸でしよ！と西田さん。ユーリさんは寝るときは裸…！

The Great Ramen Debate:

Katsura's comments on darker minded people not eating ramen, sparked a debate between him and Nishida on whether Yuri eats ramen. Poor Tamura was the mediator.

ユーリさんは何でリボンで髪を結んでいるのかという話から、どのタイミングでリボンで結ぶのか

→桂先生 は管理官の仕事着を着て最後に結ぶ、それ以外はバサバサ

→西田さん「ラーメン食べる時も髪結ぶでしょ？」

桂先生「ラーメンの時は髪かきあげて食べんだよ、てかユーリはラーメン食べない！」

→西田さん「食べますよ！そんなになよなよした動きで髪かきあげたりしないでこう男らしくリボンで髪結んで！」

→ヒートアップしてるうちに床に置いてた桂先生のお水が溢れてしまう

→桂先生「ユーリは水零しても気にしない」

→西田さん「いや拭くでしょ！」またヒートアップw

→あまりに桂先生が反論するので西田さん「じゃあ皆さんに聞いてみましょう！ユーリは水を吹くと思う人？」

→観客の多数が手を挙げる

→西田さん「ほら！！！！」

吹く

→拭くですね…変換間違い！

They talked about why Yuri uses a hair ribbon and when he would tie it up.

→ Katsura: Puts on his administrator's work clothes and ties it at the end. Other than that, it's unkempt.

→ Nishida: You tie your hair up when you eat ramen, right?

Katsura-sensei: (Agrees) When you eat ramen, you do tie your hair up, but Yuri doesn’t eat ramen!

→ Nishida: He does! And he doesn't brush his hair with such slow movements, ties his hair with a ribbon like this: manly!

→ Things started heating up and Katsura-sensei's water (which was on the floor) spilled.

→ Katsura: Yuri doesn't care if his water spills.

→ Nishida: No, he'll wipe it!

It got heated again lol

→ Katsura kept objecting, so Nishida said, "Let's ask everyone! Who thinks Yuri blows on his water?

→ Many people in the audience raised their hands

→Nishida: Look!!!!

Blow → Wipe...wrong conversation!

Original Tweet

A fan drew a picture of Yuri eating ramen, sparked by the ramen argument

ユーリさん、ラーメン食べる時に髪の毛をくくるのか問題にそもそも食べるのか問題勃発。

桂先生は「ダークな人はラーメン食べない！」

西田先生「いや食べるでしょ」

なんの話だ（リボンが発端でした）

Questions arose about whether Yuri ties his hair up when eating ramen or whether he eats it at all.

Katsura: Dark people don't eat ramen!'

Nishida: No, he eats it!

What started it (the talk)? (It began with a ribbon...）

Original Tweet

I can't help but wonder if Katsura and Nishida are the inspiration for the dynamic between Kotetsu and Barnaby.

There were many entertaining moments like the ramen debate, such as a discussion on their attire. They were supposed to come to the event dressed casually (in TaiBani T-shirts) but Nishida showed up in a suit, so Katsura felt betrayed 🤣

「お互いのファッションセンスについて」 という質問

桂「この間タイバニのTシャツ着ようかなって言ってたじゃん」

西田「よくいただくので…パーカーとか」

桂「だから最初はスーツ着てこようと思ってたけど、浮くと思ってラフな格好で来たのに！裏切られた！」

しっかりスーツでキメてきた西田さんw

→西田「いや、本当に着て来るつもりだったんです！でもこれの前に別作品の取材があったので…ていうか覚えてたんですね」

桂「覚えてたよ！」

西田「すみませんw」

A question about each other's fashion sense:

Katsura: The other day, you said you were thinking about wearing a TaiBani T-shirt.

Nishida: I often wear them... like the hoodie.

Katsura: So at first I was thinking of wearing a suit, but I didn't want to wear one. So I came dressed casually! I was betrayed!

Mr. Nishida came dressed in a suit (lol)

Nishida: No, I was really going to wear it! But prior to this, I had an interview for another work... I mean, I remembered.

Katsura: I remembered!

Nishida I'm sorry (lol)

Original Tweet

There was also another conversation about the Hero's summer attire, in which Katsura seemed hell-bent on having Keith wear white T-shirts that were 5 for ¥1000 (roughly CDN $2ea) Like he really wanted Keith to be a cheapskate 😭😭😭🤣

「だってポロシャツじゃないよね！？」と会場に向かって訴えておられました。すかさず西田さんが「SHがポロシャツ」的な発言をして、桂先生が「SHは5枚1000円の白いTシャツだ！！」と力説してました。西田さんも大いに納得して、SHさんは5枚1000円の白いTシャツで落ち着きました。

"It's not a polo shirt, right!?'' he (Katsura) complained to the audience. Immediately Nishida-san made a remark like "SH is a polo shirt.'' and Katsura-sensei emphasized, "SH is a white T-shirt that costs 1,000 yen for 5!!'' Mr. Nishida was convinced, and Mr. SH (lmao Katsura!) calmed down about the 5 white T-shirts for 1000 yen.

まとまりました（笑）。そこへ桂先生が「SHは5枚1000の白Tシャツだから！！」桂先生はよほどSH5枚1000円白Tシャツにこだわりがあるようです（笑）。

[それから「1人だけは長袖にしたくない？」という話になり、きっとイワン君だとご意見が一致しました。SHが白Tシャツ、イワン君が長袖のTシャツ]

It all came together (laughs). Katsura-sensei then said, "SH is a white T-shirt that costs 1,000 yen for 5 pieces!'' Katsura-sensei seems to be very particular about SH white T-shirts that cost 1,000 yen for 5 pieces (lol). [TN: The rest of this was a question on who would wear a long t-shirt and Ivan was selected, SH long t-shirt]

Original Tweet

All-in-all, a great read! This fan summarized my takeaways best:

タイバニトークショー、桂先生の中ではユーリさんはダーティーな人だからラーメン食べない。パスタ派。ラーメン食べるとき���髪の毛まとめない。寝るときは裸らしい！！！

わたしの中の月クラ心がざわつきましたww

TaiBani Talkshow: Katsura-sensei's Yuri is a dirty person! He won't eat ramen because he doesn't want to tie his hair back. (He's a) pasta person. And he sleeps naked!!!

My mind and heart are disturbed by the moon looool

Original Tweet

The most important thing to note is:

寝る時は裸族

THE PALE MAN SLEEPS NAKED.

Directly from Katsura's mouth.

「あいつは素っ裸で寝てるわ!」

[tigerandbunnyftw]

The very last cast watch party for episode 25 of TIGER & BUNNY 2 has ended, where the cast and production staff discussed about the final episode, like Katsura story boarding for an anime for the first time and about the final act of Yuri Petrov. They gave their heartfelt thank yous and appreciation for all the support that the fans have given to this series for these 10+ years. The live stream can be watched here (note - no subtitles).

There were no new anime continuation announcements at this time.

Although there were no continuation announcements, there was an update of the recent one-shot manga that had released in November. This saw the return of series' Main Character Designer, Masakazu Katsura and Main Scriptwriter, Masafumi Nishida, collaborate once again to write/draw a few new additional pages, which are set after TIGER & BUNNY 2. This can be viewed at the link:

There was also an announcement that TIGER & BUNNY 2 will receive a Japanese weekly TV broadcast over on the NHK channel from April 2023. Personally I am thrilled to see this, as it will allow the season to outreach a much more broader audience than the Netflix exclusivity allowed it to, so hopefully the season will garner more potential viewership and attention!

TIGER & BUNNY 2 The Comic illustrator, Hiroshi Ueda, also contributed art for the event:

Although a sequel/follow up anime may have not been announced at this time, we still have plenty of content to enjoy right now. Some content such as the on-going 2 manga series (by Mizuki Sakakibara and the other written by Erika Yoshida and illustrated by Hiroshi Ueda) the audio dramas with the Japanese home Blu-ray releases, the upcoming artbook that's expected to be released in March and hopefully more books and interviews announcements to follow, The Jazz of TIGER & BUNNY 2 event and the Museum in January and the endless collaborations and merchandise that keep on flooding through.

It's never been a better time to be a TIGER & BUNNY fan 🐯🐰

REVIEW | "Tesla Note" - Vol. 1 | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade

Nikola Tesla was a man beyond his time. Many of his inventions were the envy of Thomas Edison, to the point where the two found themselves in heated competition. But where many of Edison’s inventions are still in use today, some of Tesla’s are still considered too complicated to initiate today. Worse, some were dangerous enough to bend the fabric of time & space. In Tesla Note, a group of agents attempts to keep those dangerous ones in check, albeit with two of their top members wise-cracking it all the way through.

Our main heroes of Tesla Note are high schooler Botan Negoro and Agent Kuruma, who start things off on a shaky note. Kuruma can’t understand why someone so young is tasked to retrieve something as dangerous as the Tesla Fragments. But it’s on Botan’s first mission where Kuruma sees the potential in the young girl. However, it doesn’t help when Botan constantly rubs her potential in his face, especially with one of the smuggest faces you’ll ever come across in manga.

The danger these Tesla Fragments holds is showcased in the damage that it causes. Trains, cars, and other vehicles are mangled to bits, with the people inside melted along the walls. But as there are always people craving chaos, a committee known as “Little House” attempts to steal these fragments for their own personal gains. And if they get a hand on the one known as the Tesla Note, well, let’s just say it could be Game Over for Planet Earth!

Hero TV Newspaper Extra Pg 18: Lunatic/Yuri Petrov

Scan provided by @tnbscans

TN: Many articles during Season 1 have Sternbild spelled as "Sternbilt". I have placed the newer spelling "Sternbild" in brackets as necessary.

独自の正義の名の下に、犯罪者に粛清を加えていくダークヒーロー。

シュテルンビルトのヒーローたちとは相容れないが・・・・・・・。

A dark hero who purges criminals in the name of his own justice.

(His justice) is incompatible with the heroes of Sternbilt (Sternbild), but...

ユーリがヒーローになったワケ

The reason Yuri became a hero

西田征史/Nishida Masafumi (Writer):

すべてのキャラクターがそうなのですが、性格やバックボーンの設定をする前にすでに外見は決まっていました。

スカイハイは外見のイメージとは逆に性格付けを振ったりしたのですが、この人についてはその外見を生かして考えようと進めました。ルナティックの覆面に手形があったので、なぜこの手形をつけているのかを掘り下げようと

Like all the characters, his appearance was already decided before establishing his backstory and personality.

Sky High was used to show a contrasting personality and image, but I proceeded to think about the reason for Lunatic's appearance. Such as the handprint on his mask. I tried to dig deep into why he was wearing this handprint.

そこで、思いついたのが、初めて能力が発動したときに相手を殺してしまい、そのとき、相手の手形が顔に、という展開です。それから殺害したのは父親にしよう、そして父親はあの人に・・・・と膨らませていきました。このアイデアはデザインを見てわりとすぐに浮かんだのを覚えています。

So, what I came up with is that when his ability activated for the first time, it killed his opponent, whose handprint was left on his face at the time. Then I thought, let's make his father spurn him (TN: actual word is "inflate"), so he kills his father. I remember coming up with this idea as soon as I saw the design.

編由ユーリを表すて2つのこと

Two things that represent Yuri - Editing Edition

1父親がレジェンド

1. His father is a Legend

父は伝説のヒーロー、Mr.レジエンド。だが正義の英才教育と、晩年のヒーローらしからぬ姿とのギャップが、ユーリに歪んだ正義感を植え付けた

His father is the legendary hero, Mr. Legend. However, the contrast between his early education of justice (from his father) compared to his questionable actions as a hero in his later years, instilled a distorted sense of justice in Yuri.

2タナトスの声

2. The voice of Thanatos

タナトスは、ギリシャ神話における死の神。ユーリがルナティックとして犯罪者を粛清する際の重要なカギとなっている・・・・

Thanatos is the god of death in Greek mythology. It is an important factor for Yuri's actions to purge criminals as Lunatic...

Cast Comment by Yusa Kōji

あなたにとってヒーローとはどういう存在？

What is a hero to you?

ただひたすらに正義を貫く、真の志をもつもの。

自らが正義とじる道を揺るぎなく進むもの

Those who have the true aspiration to carry out justice. They move forward unwaveringly on the path of justice themselves.

一番好きなヒーローは誰ですか？

Who is your favourite hero?

ルナティック。信念のためなら自ら手を汚す勇気。

Lunatic. His courage to get his hands dirty if it's for the sake of his beliefs.

一番好きなシーンは？

What's your favourite scene?

ルナティックのエピソード。・・・・・・と言いたいところですが、「TIGER & BUNNY」はそれぞれのピックアップ回で、ヒーローたちが普通に悩み、協力して解決していくところが好きですね。

I would like to say an episode with Lunatic..., but "TIGER & BUNNY" has standalone (pick-up) episodes, and I like the fact that the heroes usually work together to overcome their situations.

読者にメッセージ

Message to readers

僕も念をもって、ルナティックの行動を応援していきます。見守ってください。

I also support Lunatic's ideas and behaviour. Please watch over me.
