Yuri Petrov's Daily Schedule

From: The Rising - King of Works Super Fanbook

@tnbscans really made my day today with this scan of Yuri's Daily Schedule from The Rising - King of Works Super Fanbook. It has been previously translated but like all things Yuri, it's so quirky and hilarious that I was really happy to get a chance to read about the robot vacuum cleaner and the forgotten banana in their native language. Not only that, this man showered from 9:06pm to 10:28pm (must be nice to prevent pruning with your own built-in furnace 🤣), then noticed one of his nails was broken and filed it down. Werk 💅

Yuri Petrov, you silly silly lovable weirdo.

Note: I have also been provided with a cleaner scan of Yuri's KOW Profile which I will add to that post.

Hello!

I’ve been searching for Orion o Nazoru’s lyrics but the version where the characters sing it 🧐 is there a picture or something that shows which character is singing each part?

Have a nice day <3

Hello!

Yes, the hero version with color coding is available here:

I appreciate all you do! Thank you!

You're welcome! Thank you guys for keeping this fandom alive!

#ask tnbscans

[tnbscans]

hello! apologies for the ask, but for the past few days I've been searching online, looking everywhere for any public scans of the first ever t&b artbook by Katsura Masakazu (released in 2014 afaik). Do you guys happen to have any scans/sources available? I've also been looking to buy it, if such scans don't exist, but I can only find listings for the limited edition version, and these are way out of my budget. Thank you in advance!

Hello! I see copies of the art book for about $40 (free shipping, normal edition ) on eBay if that is a more reasonable price for you. While I do own all the art books they are my personal copies and I can’t scan them without damaging them. A few parts here or there might make an appearance one day if I’m able to but unless a sacrificial copy ends up in my hands or someone donates scans there won’t be scans of the whole book.

Tiger & Bunny Week Day 5

Fan Theories and/or Predictions

I've been wanting to make this meta post for a long while, but since there was no way to reach any truly solid conclusions, I always ended up setting it aside.

But since today's prompt is fan theories... I figure I might as well give this the best go I can!

Today on "Aria fixates on scraps of collateral canon in an attempt to better figure out the Tiger & Bunny timeline, since the authors just will not give us the info straight up, dammit": when did each of the characters debut as a hero?

(under a cut for length and screenshots of actual excel spreadsheets lol)

So, we know the answer to that question for sure for about half of the heroes: Wild Tiger debuted in NC1967, Barnaby in NC1977, and the three new kids in NC1980 (at least in Stern Bild; Subaru worked for a little while as a hero in Panjourney before joining Hero TV).

(Yeah, the hero card of himself Kotetsu picks up in the pilot is technically for the '76-'77 season of Hero TV, so maybe it saying he's got 10 years of experience means his debut was actually in NC1966... but nothing says the cards don't get updated as the season goes on, and this isn't too relevant to my number crunching, anyway.)

As for the rest of them, we can make at least an attempt at (vaguely) guessing by analyzing the experience data on the Hero Cards, which you can see for Season 1 and The Rising here on the amazing Merch Wiki (shoutout to @tnbscans 😘), and for Season 2 here in an older post of mine, or here on Twitter (both courtesy of @Kazuko_01 over there).

This is a chart of the experience values in all the available hero cards:

The reason Barnaby's values are in yellow is that they really, REALLY tried to throw off all of my math 😅

See, the experience values seem to only take into account how many seasons of Hero TV (or an equivalent of it) you've appeared in, however briefly. (At some point I thought maybe becoming the King of Heroes would grant you bonus exp, but Karina doesn't seem to get a boost from the '79-'80 season, when the CD dramas tell us she tied with Keith and became the Queen of Heroes.)

Barnaby took essentially all of NC1979 off, spent a quarter of NC1980 in the Second League, and his score during the Rising is still an absurd 3/5. The only possible way that can even remotely work is that the time off is discounted entirely AND that the exp values aren't strictly proportional to your years of experience, but more along the lines of a curve (stretched every time to accomodate the longest career, Kotetsu's) where having been a hero for at least a season before, as opposed to being a rookie, gives you an additional point on the scale, and each subsequent point requires more years of extra experience.

(This would make a certain amount of sense: there's a lot of difference between being a total rookie and someone who's been on another season, or two, but not that much difference between having worked 9 or 10 seasons before.)

The crucial facts to make this work, and the reasons I had to discard a lot of other possible ways map the years to the exp values, are:

The cards, in spite of having 5 possible scores in S1 and The Rising and 6 possible scores in S2, really only ever have a baseline plus four extra values above it, since the 1/6 or 0.5/3 score in the S2 cards is unused (hence me counting the scores as "out of 3"). I initially thought maybe it was because all the S2 kids had some prior experience, since Subaru used to be a hero before coming to Stern Bild, but the manga tells us Thomas for sure did not, so it's not that (RIP Subaru for them ignoring your days as Hello Goodbye);

Bunny skips ahead two notches between his debut in the 1977-78 season and the 1979-80 season in The Rising;

Antonio goes from having max 5/5 experience along with Kotetsu in S1 to having a score of 2.5/3 (or 5/6), along with Nathan, Keith, and Ryan, in S2. This means he definitely debuted after Kotetsu, but before Nathan and Keith (and almost certainly Ryan).

With all of that in mind, this is the best possible thing I could personally come up with:

I marked down the two most likely ways to map the years to the exp values for each set of cards that still somehow work at the bottom (with blue being min experience if you debuted that year, and red being max). The fully grayed-out years are downright impossibilities (again, not counting Subaru's time as Hello Goodbye, since the cards don't); the softer gray is "very unlikely", the mid blue is "possible", and the deeper blue is "most likely" (thin border) or "sure" (thick border).

I didn't really try to come up with an arrangement that would let any of Ivan, Karina or Pao-Lin debut any earlier than NC1976, because a) both Ivan and Karina have conversations with their bosses in the pilot episode that really make it seem like the just-concluded season was their first, and b) as it is Pao-Lin already became a hero at TWELVE YEARS OLD and that's enough of a headache for me, thank you very much.

The riveting conclusions, assuming this makes any sort of sense at all (and that I didn't put way more thought into this than the people who made the cards did):

Antonio almost certainly debuted in NC1969 or NC 1970, two or three years after Kotetsu;

Ryan (whose experience outside of Stern Bild seems to be fully counted, sorry again, Subaru) doesn't appear in the S1 cards, so it's a little harder to narrow his debut down, but since he's apparently younger than Barnaby, which would make him a teenager for most (if not all) of his possible range of debut years, I'd very personally tend to put him more around NC1973 than anywhere else;

Nathan and Keith most likely debuted in either NC1971 or NC1972... but I would strongly argue that the only really viable year out of these two is NC1972. That is the year Tomoe died, and Nathan and Keith, before episode 1x09, had no idea at all that Kotetsu was ever even married, let alone a widower with a daughter. I simply cannot imagine Nathan, especially, witnessing a colleague she sees pretty much every day go through the loss of his wife, and not prying enough, either with Kotetsu himself or with Antonio (who is not terribly good at keeping Kotetsu's secrets, see ep 1x09 again), to eventually find out what was going on. If Tomoe died before October, when the 1972 season of hero TV started, Nathan and Keith, debuting that year, would have met Kotetsu only after the fact, which seems a lot more plausible.

(Yes, that last thing does support my cute headcanon of FireSky being almost polar-opposite rookies together, but to be fair, the headcanon itself came directly from this math, and not the other way around.)

If you read all of this, we are true siblings in T&B nerdery and ILU forever. Especially if you have any ideas on how to make the data make more sense, lol. 💚

ユーリ・ペトロフ役／遊佐浩二さん

Yuri Petrov/CV: Yusa Kōji

初めてルナティックを見た時はその異質さに驚きました。他のヒーローたちと比べて全く系統が違うという印象です。最初は怖かったです（笑）、特に目が。しかしその生い立ちやユーリの人物像を知るにつれ、この姿がピッタリだと思うようになりました。顔の手形については桂先生が触れられるかと思いますが、あの怒りとも妖しさとも哀しみとも取れる表情は秀逸だと思います。全体に施されたラインの模様も気に入っています。鋭角的なデザインが好きなので。デザインとは関係ないですが、スーツの性能はやはり手作りという感じですね（笑）。斎藤さんが作ってくれたらあんなことにはならなかったのになぁと個人的にはちょっと残念に思います。まぁ、そこは実力でカバー。

僕にとってはヒーローたちに負けない、まぎれもない "ヒーロー”です。

When I saw Lunatic for the first time, I was surprised at the different quality (of his design). I had the impression that his lineage was completely different compared to the other heroes. I was scared at first (laughs), especially of the eyes. However, as I learned about Yuri's upbringing and personality, I grew to think that his appearance was perfect. Katsura-Sensei added the handprint of his face (to his mask), which is excellent because I think that the expressions (Lunatic's) can be taken as angry, mysterious and sad. I also like the pattern of the lines applied to the whole because I like sharp design. While it has nothing to do with the design (concepts), the performance of the suit is still handmade (laughs). Personally, I'm a little disappointed that Mr. Saito had not made it, but his (Lunatic's) abilities covered up for it.

For me, he's unmistakably a "hero" who can't lose to the heroes.

From pages on Yuri's design:

ネクタイは、虎徹のネクタイと同じく真ん中にストライプを入れ、それをユーリの場合は、カクカクにしたデザインです。

白と黒に、中央が自身の立ち位置を示すグレーにしていて、前回より、彼のキャラクター性を表したつもりです。

The necktie is the same as Kotetsu's tie, with a stripe in the middle. In Yuri's case, it is a jagged design. It's white and black with the centre grey to indicate his stance, shown from his character in the previous installment (S1).

Colours Used (for Yuri's Design)

ミドルクールグレイ - Middle Cool Grey

デープクールグレイ - Deep Cool Grey

ホワイト (ネクタイ右半分の色) - White (right half of necktie)

クールグレイ（ネクタイ中央の色） - Cool Grey (middle of necktie)

ブラック (髪止め・リボン・クツのヒール ネクタイ左半分の色) - Black (hair stoppers - his barrettes, ribbon, shoe heels, left half of necktie)

ライトスモークグリーン - Light smoke green (his hair)

スモークグリーン（まゆ毛） - Smoke Green (eyebrows)

スモークピンク（くちびる） - Smoke Pink (lips)

*口紅ではなく自色が悪い。- *It's not lipstick but it's a bad colour

ブラス - Brass (lawyer pin and on his briefcase handles and front enclosure)

ユーリは、「The Rising」では、新規デザインがなかったので、自分も楽しみでした。とはいえ職業柄、スーツ姿には変わりないので、遊べるところが少ないのですが、探は、ゲーム「ASTRAL CHAIN』で探いた四角いデザインを取り入れて、探えて、ボタンも四角くしています。

I was looking forward to the "The Rising" because there was no new design for Yuri. However, because of his occupation, he doesn't change his suit, so there were few places to play. So I incorporated the square design used in the game "ASTRAL CHAIN", and also used it for his buttons.

Yuri Draft:

TN: There is another colour chart with a tie in the colours from the previous season, but I haven't included it.

ユーリのネクタイ。ネクタイだけ、前TVシリーズのカラーリングにしてみましたが、結局やめました。

Katsura says he originally coloured the tie in the same colours as S1 but decided to stop.

From an interview with Katsura (maroon), Kase, Chiba, Hirata, Morita, Kotobuki, Shimazaki (all dark blue)

ーご自身が演じられているキャラクター以外で気になる存在はいますか？

-Is there anything you are interested in other than the character you are playing?

寿 私はユーリが気になっていて、彼が好きです。『T&B2』では物語的にもユーリが熱い展開だったので、目が離せませんでした。先ほどユーリのデザイン画を見させていただいたのですが、改めてカバンやネクタイひとつとっても彼の小道具はすごくオシャレだなと思いました。あと、アニメで髪が逆立っているシーンもすごく幻想的で。

Kotobuki: I'm interested in Yuri, and I like him. In "T&B2", Yuri's story has passionate development, and I couldn't take my eyes off it. I saw the drawings of Yuri's design, and thought the accessories of his bag and tie were very fashionable. Also, the scene in the anime, where his hair is standing on end is so fantastic.

桂 ユーリの展開は衝撃的だよね。

僕もプロットの段階から、ルナティックのクライマックスは「嘘だ！もったいない！やめてよ」と何回も言った記憶があります。でも彼についてははっきりと言及されているわけじゃないから、まだどうなったかはわからないと思います（笑）。千葉さんは誰が気になりました？

Katsura: Yuri's development is shocking, isn't it?

During the plot stages, I remember saying: "It's a lie! What a waste! Stop it!" many times about Lunatic's ending (climax). But it's not clearly mentioned, so I don't think I understand what happened yet (laughs).

Mr. Chiba, who are you interested in?

千葉 僕もキャラクターではないのですが、ルナティックのボウガンが良いなと。必殺技で「炎」は定番だと思うんですけど、その炎をボウガンで撃ち出すというアイデアが画期的でめちゃくちゃカッコいいなと思いました。

Chiba: I'm not interested in characters either (TN: Morita says earlier that he's not interested in characters), but Lunatic's bowgun is good. I think "flames" are standard special moves, but the idea of shooting flames with a bow gun was ground-breaking and incredibly cool.

TN: What follows is easily the greatest thing about this interview and it doesn't even have any Yuri/Luna content! 😭🤣

意外と評判が良い？ 男性キャラの「おしり」

Is it good that the male characters "butts'" are surprisingly popular?

島崎 僕は自分の役で申し訳ないんですけど、トーマスのキュッとした「おしり」がたまりません！新ヒーローの中でエース的存在のトーマスが、ピチッとしたスーツを着ているところに痺れたんです。その分、気絶した時には残念な姿に映りましたが（笑）、内またのラインとかが顕著に出ていて、「さすが桂先生のおしり」だと思いました。

Shimazaki: I'm sorry to say this since it's my role, but Thomas' tight "butt" is irresistible! I was numb to the fact that Thomas, who is an ace among the new heroes, was wearing a tight suit. As a result, it was unfortunate when he fainted (laughs), because the inner line was prominent, and I thought: "as expected of Katsura-Sensei's butts".

桂 あははは！でも、男の尻だよ?

Katsura: Ahahaha! But it's a man's ass?

島﨑どこからみてもラインが美しいんですよ。イケてます！

Shimazaki: No matter where you look, the line is beautiful. It's cool!

平田 キュッとした桂先生の「おしり」、意外と評判いいですよ？

Hirata: Katsura-Sensei's "butts" are surprisingly popular, aren't they?

桂 そうなの！？

Katsura: Is that so!?

島﨑 虎徹とバーナビーのインナースーツを着ている時の「おしり」も良いですよね。

Shimazaki: The "butts" are also good when Kotetsu and Barnaby are wearing their inner suits.

桂 どっちみち男の尻じゃん！（笑）

Katsura: Either way, it's a man's ass! (laughs)

Lunatic and Yuri info translated from an interview with director Kase Atsuko in Animedia Februay 2023 (credit to @tnbscans for the article):

TN: I swear... "Did Kotetsu and Barnaby figure out Lunatic's true identity" and "Is he dead" is the new version of "Are they romantically involved" for S2. And yes the answer is still "It's up to you to decide." Kase being super vague about BOTH here:

Pg 34

24話のルナティックと虎徹＆バーナビーの共闘は熱い展開でしたね。

敵との共闘は、王道の激熱展開ですよね！

虎徹とバーナビーの戦い方って、もうすでに固まっているじゃないですか。そこに新しく別の武器ではないですけれども、ルナティックという新しい要素が加わるので、戦い方ももちろん変わっていく。そこを描くのは面白かったですね。「長距離武器を使えるのはいいよな～」と思いながら作業していました

Interviewer: The joint battle between Lunatic, Kotetsu and Barnaby in episode 24 was a hot plot twist.

Kase: Uniting with the enemy is the way to go for a super hot plot twist right!

The way Kotetsu and Barnaby fight is already solid, isn't it? And while it's not a new weapon, adding Lunatic is a new factor, so of course their way of fighting will change. It was interesting to depict. I was thinking, "That's right, long range weapons will be used here."

Pg 35

ズバリ聞きます。ルナティックは、結局ど・うなったのでしょうか？

重要なのは、正体は最後まで誰にもバレていないということ。虎徹もバーナビーも、ルナテイックの正体がユーリだとは知りません。炎に包まれて落ちていき、消えてしまいましたが..・・・その後どうなったのかは、皆さんのご想像にお任せします。

Interviewer: For once and for all, I'd like to hear. What happened to Lunatic in the end?

Kase: The important thing is that no one knows his identity until the end. Kotetsu and Barnaby don't know that Lunatic's true identity is Yuri. He fell in flames and disappeared, but... I'll leave it to your imagination to determine what happened after that.

S1 Translations from Hero TV Fan Vol. 2

Scans courtesy of: @tnbscans

I may add a translation from the Episode 16 pages to this post in the future, but for now I have translated the following:

Episode 21: (pg 58)

虎徹の素性を知るユーリは倍じられず司法局データベースを確認するが「ワイルドタイガー」の情報は消されており、事態の異常さをじる

Yuri, who knows Kotetsu's background, can't doublecheck the Justice Bureau's database, because "Wild Tiger's" information has been erased. The situation is abnormal.

Pg 59

→偽タイガーやヒーローに追われ、ルナティックまで現れ絶体絶命！

→Chased by Fake Tiger and the heroes, even Lunatic appears! He (Kotetsu) is desperate!

TN: The downwards arrow refers to a different image and mentions Kotetsu obtaining the Crap Suit from Ben and wonders what his secret plan is.

Episode 24 (pg 68)

CHECK! ユーリの誤算

Check! Yuri's Miscalculation

ユーリにとってH-01との戦いで左肩を撃たれて敗北したことも大きなショックだった。さらに、司法局という情報が豊かな場にいながら、（マーベリックの工作による） 虎徹への濡れ衣事件を発端とする不可解な状況の分析が行えないことに当惑していた。

It was a big shock for Yuri to be defeated and shot in the left shoulder in the battle against H-01. In addition, while there was an abundance of information in Judicial Bureau, he was puzzled that he could not analyse the mysterious situation that originated from the false accusations against Kotetsu (due to Maverick's handiwork).

Episode 25 (pg 71)

なんびとも、己の犯した罪から逃れる事は出来ない

You can't escape from the sins you have committed.

→マーベリックを乗せた護送車を襲ったのはルナティック。炎の弓を向けて彼に対してふさわしい罰を与える

Lunatic attacked the convoy with Maverick on board. He pointed his bow of fire at him, and punished him.

TaiBani Mystery Files (pg 73)

『タイバニ」ミステリー FILE

Check 2: ルナティックが言う「タナトスの声」って何のこと？

What is the "Voice of Thanatos" Lunatic refers to?

「タナトスの声を聞け」

"Hear the Voice of Thanatos"

ルナティックが罪人を裁く際に告げる決めセリフ。ここで出てくる「タナトス」とは、ギリシャ神話で「死」を体現する神のこと。罪人に相応しい罰として、青い炎による死を与えるルナティックに似合っていると言える。

The line Lunatic says when judging sinners. "Thanatos" is the god of "death" in Greek mythology. It is a suitable punishment for sinners; that suits Lunatic, who kills with blue flames.

↑母を守るために自らの父親を殺害したルナティック。彼が自身の「罪」に抱く思いとは？

↑Lunatic killed his own father to protect his mother. What are his thoughts about his own "sin"?

Scarf-Tan (aka Bad Luck Girl)

Who are you?

事件の際に談のツ女あり？

There was a female witness at the time of the incident?

(TN: It is more literally translated as "There was a woman to speak to at the time of the incident?")

シュテルンビルトで起きた事件に、度々巻きこれている謎の少女の存在を確認。ただ不運なだけかそれとも・・？

Confirmed: The existence of a mysterious girl who is often involved in incidents that occur in Sternbild. Is it just bad luck or...?

↑目の下のほくろがチャームポイントの少女。ヒーローに助けられてばかり？

The mole under her eyes is charming (TN: her charm point). Are you always rescued by heroes?

TN: While trying to find the actual kanji they're using to describe Scarf-Tan, I found some of these other nicknames for her:

逃げ惑う少女　- Run away Girl

巻き込まれ少女　- Involvement Girl

モブ子 - Mob Girl

So my guess for "Bad Luck Girl" is 「不運な少女」 (there are two ways of pronouncing this combination that could mean bad luck: "fuun" and "fuguu")
