Anime: Tiger and Bunny

Plus I still have the feeling that something will happen involving Maverick. He's too shady, and somehow have mysterious, villain-ish aura. At first I thought he's Mr Legend but as we know now, he's not. Some people on other forum have theory that Maverick is the one behind the assault of Barnaby's parent so he can take custody of Barnaby and he modified Barnaby's memories with that sleep machine.
This has been bugging me for quite a while since the flashback was seen. I don't think it's a coincidence that they got there right before his parents were killed. Another thing is, why did the assailant not kill Barnaby?

I'm thinking they wanted Barnaby Jr. to be a hero since they saw the potential in his story and personal motivation to make good money.

[HIDE]Barnaby: "Bringing smiles to everyone!" is our motto, using a progressive media model to help innovate your lifestyles, that's our Apollon Media Group.
Kotetsu: This is where you can see the Heroes and everything related to them. From information, to licensing, to events, hero management and a various assortment of goods, we have all your subcontracting needs right here!
Barnaby: With our passion for public works--
Kotetsu: --reach out with us Heroes for our destiny!
T&B: Apollon Media! Welcome to our Hero Department!

Lloyds: Excellent, just perfect. You actually sounded like a duo, Barnaby and Kotetsu.
Kotetsu: Just what was that supposed to be, Mr. Lloyds?
Barnaby: It's a guidence video for next year's recruits. Weren't you informed?
Kotetsu: Ahhh, yeah, yeah, now that you mention it, someone did say something about that...
Barnaby: Please do some work for once.
Kotetsu: Don't lecture me. "Hello! I'm Kotetsu, the member of Tiger & Bunny that doesn't read instructions!"
Barnaby: Mr. Lloyds, can I switch him out for a different half of my duo?
Kotetsu: Hey, hold on there...
Barnaby: Or maybe you should just fire people that don't know the meaning of "professional."
Kotetsu: Hey, that's my line! I think you should fire people that don't have a sense of humor!
Lloyds: And just when I think you guys are behaving like a duo, I get *this*. Enough. That reminds me, Kotetsu. Finish your paperwork for the fines and expenses.
Kotetsu: Ah! Ahhh, um, that's... Can I do it tomorrow? I've just been so busy heroing, I haven't had the time to--
Lloyds: Even though your fellow hero Barnaby has already completed his?
Kotetsu: HUH? Really?
Barnaby: I do it at the beginning of each month.
Lloyds: If you don't do you job, it creates more trouble for all of us, *Kotetsu*. "The budget is a battlefield."
Kotetsi: ...battlefield?
Lloyds: If these things aren't done, then it reflects badly on me as your management. Barnaby, if I could trouble you to watch over him for me, please.
Barnaby: Yes, sir.
Kotetsu: Fine, fine, I'll do it already. Geez!

Kotetsu: And so...the taxi fare comes out to twenty-five dollars...the bike was ten dollars...cleaning was one dollar--one dollar? Are you kidding me? So far it's--
Barnaby: Um, can I ask you a question?
Kotetsu: ARGH! Don't talk to me right now! I just lost my place!
Barnaby: Why are you using *that*?
Kotetsu: What? Kids these days don't know what an abacus is?
Barnaby: I know what it is. I asked you why you were using it.
Kotetsu: I have to use something to calculate, right?
Barnaby: You're just going to imput it into the evaluation software anyway.
Kotetsu: I prefer pen and paper!
Barnaby: Do you even know what year it is...
Kotetsu: Maybe I'm just a pure hearted adult that hasn't cut ties with his childhood.
Barnaby: Unfortunately, I'd say it's more like your stuck at the level of your childhood education. Are you a child? Or some sort of animal?
Kotetsu: There you go again. I'm a human being! Geez, I'm a hero. why do I have to do stuff like this?
Barnaby: Make no mistake. We're salarymen that happen to be heroes.
Kotetsu: No, we're heroes that happen to be salarymen! What's with this budget battlefield crap?! Didn't we stop a guy running off with a ten billion dollar diamond?!
Barnaby: It was valued in the millions of dollars. And that has nothing to do with anything.
Kotetsu: It's a joke. A j-o-k-e. Besides, we're living a kid's dream! Don't you get it?
Barnaby: If you have enough time to talk, you have enough time to work. I don't have the time to spare.
Kotetsu: You're the one that interrupted me! Ahhh, geez! Enough of this! I'm going to go traini--
Barnaby: You're not getting away. I was put in charge of watching over you. And not to train.
Kotetsu: Then I'm going to the bathroom!
Barnaby: Huh?
Kotetsu: I said I'm going to the bathroom!
Barnaby: Why are you moving like that?
Kotetsu: ****, it's leaking, it's leaking!

Kotetsu: Hmph. Stupid deskwork.
Saito: Tiger.
Kotetsu: AHHH! Dr. Saito. What is it?

[I'm having trouble with this part, can anyone fill in what Saito and Kotetsu are talking about?]

Lloyds: Hey! What have I told you before!
Kotetsu: Ah, Mr. Lloyds, I was just, ah--
Lloyds: I've already warned you about using our equipment, Saito.
Kotetsu: Dr. Saito?
Lloyds: Especially the development of this "Good Luck Mode" and what it does to the budget. Is it really something they need?
Saito: But...it's cool.
Lloyds: We don't need useless add-ons. We have our limits, you know. Because of that we might have to limit the usage of the bikes.
Kotetsu: Eh?! But without our bikes, how will we reach the scene.
Lloyds: You have the monorail.
Kotetsu: Haaaah?! I've never heard of a hero that has to use the monorail to get to the scene of the crime!
Lloyds: It's a way of reducing costs.
Kotetsu: So why not reduce Dr. Saito's pay or...huh? Dr. Saito? He's faster than I expected.

Tiger: [curses deskwork]
Saito: Tiger? Do you have a moment?
Tiger: Ah! Mr. Saito? What is it?
Saito: [something about going to toilet?] *giggle*
Saito: [受けるね君 and then smth I can't make out] *giggle*
Tiger: Please don't laugh so close to my ear! [something about weird or ominous?]
Saito: You know Tiger, [something] not getting praise for. (so not sure about this)
Tiger: [complains about sitting at the desk and body getting... stiff or something?]
Saito: That's no good.
Tiger: [not sure what he means here]

Then Lloyds comes.

Lloyds: By the way, what are you doing in here? Are you done with your paperwork?
Kotetsu: Um, if I can say something. Our job as heroes is to protect civilians! So the budget--
Lloyds: If you don't like it, you can quit.
Kotetsu: Uh, ah...that's...
Lloyds: Honestly. You have no idea what it costs to maintain a hero. If all you have are complaints, why don't *you* try getting the money to pay off the balance?
Kotetsu: So it's okay for me to get the money to pay off the balance?
Lloyds: Huh?
Kotetsu: Fine! If that's what it takes, I'll do it! In exchange, stop complaining about every little expense!
Lloyds: I don't know what you have planned, but finish your report before you start braying about finishing anything else. Understand?
Kotetsu: Great, he's gone. What am I going to do? Barnaby: Sigh. I can't believe you said that.
Kotetsu: Huh, Bunny? Sneaking up on people is a bad habit.
Barnaby: Sneaking out on people is an even worse one. What do you think your job is?
Kotetsu: I don't have time for banter with you. I have to finish my paperwork.
Barnaby: Did you mean look for a sponsor?
Kotetsu: How did you know--
Barnaby: I understand how you think, old man.
Kotetsu: It'll work if a hero goes to them directly, don't you think?
Barnaby: Sigh. This is ridiculous.
Kotetsu: Shut up! If I say I'll do it, then I'll do it!

[the ding of a elevator]
Kotetsu: Hey, why are you tagging along, Bunny?
Barnaby: In order to watch over you.
Kotetsu: You had to be pushed into helping me with the report!
Barnaby: That's completely different. If you're going to be drumming up clients, we're marketed as a duo, so I want to protect my image.
Kotetsu: Oh, I seeee.
Baranby: Having said that, why did you choose Akamono Station?
Kotetsu: The senior executive manager was on a list of "likely companies." You saw it too, right? Listen, leave the negotiations to me! Don't butt in!
Barnaby: So we're going in order of age?
Kotetsu: Just shut up and watch!

Kotetsu: Okay...Wild Roar!
[he knocks on the door]
Tokumaru: Come in.
Kotetsu: Excuse me for disturbing you!
[opens the door]
Tokumaru: Thank you for stopping by! I'm Tokumaru, head of the advertising department.
Kotetsu: I'm Apollon Media's Wild Tiger.
Barnaby: I'm Barnaby Brooks Jr, from the same company.
Tokumaru: Of course, I know the two of you! Come now, no need to be so formal! Please sit down.
T&B: Thank you.
Tokumaru: Truthfully, I've been wanting to meet with you two too!
Kotetsu: What a coincidence! Well, actually there's a reason we came here today. We were wondering if you'd like to cheer on Tiger & Barnaby by becoming a sponsor!
Tokumaru: Eh?
Kotetsu: You know, when I think of Akamono Station, the thing that comes to mind is that great stationary and all the rest of the products you market, so I want everyone else to know about it too!
Tokumaru: Oh, how flattering.
Kotetsu: And not only that! I've also used that software your company puts out, Dr. Speadsheet, and I was amazed at how easy it was to use!
Tokumaru: Oh. That's not ours.
Kotetsu: Eh?
Barnaby: (He's saying it's made by a rival company.)
Kotetsu: Ah, uh, um, that was! I was just kidding!
Tokumaru: [completely flat tone of voice] Yeah, isn't it great software? So convenient.
Barnaby: (Great, I knew this would happen. Step back, old man.)

Barnaby: But you know, Akamono Station has a very solid base of habitual users.
Tokumaru: Oh, really? Yes, you're right!
Barnaby: I use your products frequently!
Kotetsu: Weren't you the one that was talking about the end of the pen and paper era?
Barnaby: (Be quiet!)
Kotetsu: Yes, I use them too!
Tokumaru: Are you trying to mock our company?
Kotetsu: Ehhh--no, not at all!
Tokumaru: Yes, it might be that our company is old fashioned, but we're proud of that! I think you two need to leave! Immediately!
Barnaby: My apologies! I have no excuse for--
Kotetsu: Hold on just a second! Just give me one minute!
Barnaby: We need to leave!
Kotetsu: (Why are you just giving up?!)
Barnaby: (We need to know when we're beaten!)
Kotetsu: If you do that, you can't even call yourself a salaryman! A salaryman does everything he can for his company!
Barnaby: I don't want to hear that from you!
Tokumaru: Shut up and get out already!
Kotetsu: I'm sorry, but please hear me out a little longer! Our sponsors usually increase in profitabilty, so just let me...
[sound of Kotetsu getting out his abacus]
Barnaby: Enough already, I don't think this is going to help!
Kotetsu: There's nothing else I can do!


Tokumaru: Wait just a moment. Is that an abacus you have there?
Kotetsu: Eh? Yeah, I've always used one, since I was a kid. Sorry to show you something so--
Tokumaru: May I see it?
Kotetsu: Uh, yeah. Sure.
Tokumaru: Ohhh, it really is one. This form! This feel! This sound!
Barnaby: So, you mean...
Tokumaru: Things like this are really nostalgic. They bring me back to when I was just starting out.
T&B: Huh?
Tokumaru: That's what our manufacturing process is all about, cherishing the things of yesterday! So nostalgic! I can't believe there are still people that use abacuses.
Kotetsu: But it just feels so great to use!
Tokumaru: Yes, that's right! I know exactly what you mean! Oh! That's right. Do both of you have some time to spare?
Kotetsu: Eh?
Tokumaru: Let's go out for drinks!
Barnaby: Drinks?
Kotetsu: Sounds great! Yeah, let's go! You too, Bunny!
Barnaby: Ah, well, I'm not really...
Kotetsu: Yep, we're definitely taking you along too!
Barnaby: Hey, quit it!
Tokumaru: Hahaha, settle down, you two![/HIDE]

Good to know that you're enjoying the show like the rest of us. There have been a lot of speculation/talks around the web about Kaede following in the steps of Kotetsu, which is also why we see a lot of those in pictures/drawings/doodles as well.
