I thought Lunatic's focus episode was really really good, which is largely why his ultimate fate leaves me so cold.

I felt like the focus ep did a good job of demonstrating how Yuri wasn't being literally haunted by an evil ghost--his hallucinations were a product of his own mind, his guilt and self-loathing. That's why the hallucination disappearing wasn't about forgiving Legend, but Yuri allowing himself to move on.

With both his parents, Yuri is tormented by hatred and love.

He wants Legend to be this evil boogeyman figure; he literally projects Legend as an evil boogeyman figure haunting him into his reality. But the boogeyman take on the situation isn't quite right--he had positive memories with his dad, he craved his father's love and affection, he wanted his father to get better and succeed when he was a boy. Yuri wishes he'd been too cool for it all and hated Legend for the pathetic, cruel man he ended his life as the whole time but he knows he didn't and that's part of why he's so disgusted with himself.

Somewhat similar situation with his mother. She helped enable the abuse and continued to rub salt in the wound after she developed dementia--she kept hurting him, and he wishes he could just stop caring but he can't. His inability to reconcile the suffering he experienced with the love and need for affection he can't stop feeling is what compounds his suffering.

His breakdown in his mother's pool of blood left me with this cathartic rawness. He'd finally been able to let go of his father's toxic identity (a literal legend) and let it stop haunting him, accept that he was only a man. It was like lancing an infected wound, draining the pus--an ugly, painful, necessary experience. It was great.

...and then he just kills himself because it would be too narratively complicated if he survived and the heroes are just like "aight." Fuck. Whatever.

Final Thoughts on T&B2.2: ORIGA Edition

SPOILERS for T&B2.2!

| |

|

| |

|

One thing I wanna point out, re: Origa, the relationship Yuri had with her the entire series was performative. It wasn’t real. She had already chosen Legend over Yuri when Legend was alive, and well, and she stayed by her man.

Yuri was desperate for someone he could love. It’s why he put up with her bad days, just so he could make it the good ones. Even the good ones weren’t real love. It was an old woman idolizing her dead, abusive husband all the while ignoring Yuri’s actual reality.

And it hurts to be gaslit like that. It hurt Yuri that she ignored his reality, dementia or no, but if he shut his mouth, performed the way she wanted him to, she rewarded him with motherly affection.

Their dynamic was toxic as fuck. He was in a codependent relationship with her, one that would never improve for two reasons:

Even while sane, Origa must’ve loathed and blamed Yuri. She was already far down the path of hating her own child.

There’s no cure for dementia. Dementia is the #7 disease-related cause of death and folks usually live 8-10 years after onset.

Yuri was never gonna be able to hold her accountable, or at least confront her, which woulda gone a long way to validating his own reality and bringing him to his authentic self. He instead glommed onto her as his only chance of redemption, love, and kindness. If he’d had friends, I doubt that would’ve happened. This is where Kotetsu’s influence came in.

I wonder if the hauntings Yuri created for himself were because his mother denied his reality, so he had a hard time trusting what was real, i.e., love, friendship, trust, forgiveness. Yuri built a world for himself where he was the executioner, was condemned by a dead man, and occasionally shown affection by an insane woman, and none of it was real. He was never gonna heal living with Origa. Which was why I was ok with her dying—it made sense with her dementia and his healing journey.

I wasn’t fine with the senseless violence. Nature taking Origa from Yuri is a progression that could lead to him letting go and realizing who he is, what he wants from others, and what his values really are. Murderers taking Origa away? Let’s fucking destroy any love and affection this poor guy gets and end him.

Hopefully there’re fix-it fics out there or will be there that gets this man the healing he deserves. I hope someday he can see, yeah, she did the best she could, she still sucked, and I still loved her. Because that’s how life is—complex, confusing, and worth living.

It always makes me laugh and roll my eyes when certain international anime fans try to act like Japan is some apolitical world that is free of anything “woke,” when Tiger and Bunny 2 is currently ranked #5 over on Netflix Japan’s Top 10 List (and it rose up from #7 to #5 over the past day, so I won’t be surprised if it keeps rising). This franchise was also voted as the best anime back in 2017 (literally #1) through an NHK poll with over 10,000 anime to choose from and with 600,000 votes (links can mess up visibility of posts sometimes, so I won’t link the ANN article on it, but you can find it with a quick google search).

So Tiger and Bunny is an extremely popular anime and the sequel is proving to be popular, well liked, and well received. Yet, this anime has all of the things that those certain international anime fans always moan and groan about being “Western ideals” and such. We have:

Under a Read More due to spoilers and length:

1. A black nonbinary character that goes by she/they pronouns in the English dub, is successful, and has been given a well written backstory that touches on the experiences of gender dysphoria, homophobia, transphobia, and not being able to find one’s place in society. That same character also experience her coworkers standing up for her and defending her against a transphobe.

Nathan is a successful business person and is treated like any other character in the show. In the first season, which came out nearly 11 years ago, there were some aspects of Nathan’s character that were not written as well as they could be, but Season 2, which is out now, has fixed this and those problematic elements of Nathan have disappeared from the show (but Nathan is not a perfect character either, none of them are).

2. An interracial marriage and interracial children. The thing to note here is that the wife is black, not white (which is more commonly found in anime), and no one bats an eye at this.

3. Ryan, a male character in the series, specifically refers to himself as a feminist in the dub. In the Japanese, he doesn't use that word (the Japanese loan word for feminist has a different meaning from its English counterpart anyway), but the sentiments he expresses are feminist in nature, so the translation works well. The talk they have on gender norms and expectations (ideas of protection vs. working together and viewing someone on the same level regardless of gender) are still the same in both the sub and dub.

4. Going along with this, there are young female characters in this series. The younger two are never, ever sexualized in any way. The series even shows the waitress in the local bar who, in the first season, wore a more sexualized outfit, now wearing a more practical outfit in S2.

One character that is sexualized (and was sexualized as a minor) was only ever done so when the series was being filmed from the in-series TV show camera perspective. It was also a point of concern for said female character's father, and works more as a social commentary on the whole concept of "sex sells" marketability and how that intersects with oversexualizing young women.

5. A creepy, gross stalker character returns. He tries to grope the female character and is just an all around creep / pervert. His actions are never shown as funny or something to hand wave away. He gets called out for being the creep that he is, and not in the usual "female character gets cartoonishly angry and calls their name in an angry tone" kind of way (which reads more like a call out that still tends to land more like a joke). No, he gets called out in a "you are going to jail, you sick creep" kinda way.

6. A rather prominent female character in the series puts on weight, and while this is commented on twice in the first episode, one being a comment one character said to themselves "Is that such and such?" and another a more direct commentary on said female character's weight gain. That latter comment was silenced the second after the character asked it. Since then, there has been no comments on this female character's appearance. She remains in a powerful position, nothing about her personality or habits have changed, her makeup, her outfits, and her attitude are all unchanged, and she is still listened to and respected.

8. One character calls out another for invading the privacy of two other characters.

7. A character that is heavily coded as neurodivergent is treated with dignity and respect, and the character that is actually shown having the hardest time to adapt to the others is actually the character that isn't neurodivergent. The series gives out the message that the other heroes should adapt to the neurodivergent character rather than forcing the neurodivergent character to adapt to them.

Edit: It has also been noted that rather than being neurodivergent this character's actions could be trauma responses. The way they have the other heroes learn to respond to him is a very positive thing either way.

And, well, the series is just largely queer in general. The way it presents its themes and explores the characters, their relationships, and certain societal issues is all just so queer. And this is a very popular series in Japan. But it also contains a lot of the things that a certain group of anime fans would scream and cry were "Western morals and ideals." I'm kinda grateful that Tiger and Bunny, especially Season 2, is kinda flying under the radar, because the anime community is starting to attract more and more fans who think like this.

And it would be just straight up tiring to have to deal with views on this show (and the dub translation, they would likely all collectively lose their shit and say that the translator was trying to insert their own views and agendas into the dub translation because they used the word feminist...or something...ugh, I don't even want to think about it, lol).

But yeah, whenever I encounter one of those kinds of anime fans nowadays, I just think about Tiger and Bunny and laugh.

I still haven't gotten the chance to see Taibani2 but god, I am so glad to see Nathan/Fire Emblem getting so much more fandom love. For a couple of years during/after season 1, it was hard being a Nathan fan.

And the thing that extra extra extra bothers me about Yuri's fate is that it wouldn't have been hard to tweak! The basic building blocks are fine!

I get the impression that they were trying to suggest an "it's too late, I'm too wounded, but I'm choosing to die on my own terms" situation. That would be totally IC for Yuri, because he's a dramatic bitch. I'd still have some nitpicking about the greater narrative, but it works on a basic level.

They didn't really do that, though. If they were trying, they didn't pull it off.

We've seen people live through some insane physical damage in this series! Kotetsu in the S1 finale, anyone? Barnaby getting bombed into a coma? Kotetsu vomiting blood all over the interior of his helmet in the finale of S2's first cour? We've seen characters get as wounded as Yuri appeared and walk it off.

If they wanted me to believe that three different characters looked at this guy and concluded, "damn, this bitch is dying," then he needed to look worse.

On top of that, Yuri's own actions are more consistent with someone who believes his death isn't guaranteed. Why would he put up a wall of fire if he didn't believe that Kotetsu and Barnaby could help him? Why would he need them to stay back if nobody could save him at that point?

All this makes the scene read much more strongly as outright suicide more than "dying on my own terms."

I think the problem comes from the writers trying to leave themselves a way out, angling for purposeful ambiguity. Since--we do know that Yuri is capable of surviving his own flames, as well as patching himself up after major injury, as well as teleporting through fire. There's no body. His survival is totally plausible at this point.

You can't play the "purposeful ambiguity" card here without some serious consequences, though. The other characters in the scene--do they think they just watched a suicide, or a death from injury?

Kotetsu is so consistently optimistic and has such a strong sense of responsibility throughout the series that it's very fucking hard for me to believe that he wouldn't seriously try. He's consistently dumb, too! I fully believe that Kotetsu would have run into that fire if he thought he could have saved Lunatic. This dude canonically has run into fire to save people with no backup plan (see: Blue Rose's spotlight ep in S1)! If they wanted me to believe the fire was so powerful that even a dude well known for running into fire couldn't handle it, they needed to actually show that. Have Kotetsu try and get burned! It's that simple! His little half-shuffle forward and then "eh, nah" at the fire's edge does not sell the idea that he honestly wants to help this man but he's physically incapable.

tl;dr Yuri looked too healthy to be so close to death there was no point in helping, and the heroes' stunning underreaction fails to sell the idea that this is a situation they're helpless in.
