Overview of the new suit. [2] Form of an unmelting chunk of ice. Hold it until your hand goes numb. Unlimited uses.

Kotetsu goes to meet his mechanic, Saito! Who gives him an overview of the abilities of his new hero suit in comparison to his crappy old one. In the form of comparative tests in which the old one is burnt, broken and exploded which the new one works perfectly. And it even has a clock!

Effects
- Hm I guess having a cool suit might be useful huh.

Simulation. [3] Form of two paper dolls attached at the arm. You and a friend must pull them apart. (Possibly sharing the memory!)

Lloyds tells Kotetsu and Barnaby that their teamwork is terrible and that it's Kotetsu's fault. Barnaby leaves. Lloyds suggests that he could try leading Barnaby! Since he's been doing it a lot longer. Maybe he should try improving his teamwork and coordination with Barnaby via a training simulation! Kotetsu is unenthusiastic. "I don't really like simulations. There no tension. I prefer the real thing."

They try a simulation anyway, in an elaborate holographic simulation room with real water falling down from the ceiling as rain. But they just argue about which way to jump around their cover (My instinct says left! Look at the way the wind is blowing, in theory it would be better to go around to the right!) until Kotetsu gets so annoyed he just stands up and gets "shot." Barnaby storms out, informing Kotetsu that he doesn't like simulations, and prefers the real thing.

Kotetsu sulks in the fake rain for a while until Agnes comes to get him to film a short interview about Barnaby.

Effects
- Man Bunny's such a jerk in our early partnership
- When we don't disagree wildly we agree on things though??

vs. Jake. "I can hear everything." [12] Form of a brightly colored party cracker. You need a friend to hold the other end (and it shares the memory). Since it is a sig-neg, it also comes with a giant red WARNING!! label.

( Summary )

A new hero appears. Form of a miniature goblet, with a slightly less miniature glass vial. Fill the goblet and drink to receive your memory. 2/3 uses remaining.

All of episode 1 from the monorail hijacking, to Barnaby's dramatic appearance to bridal-carry Kotetsu and rescue him, to the awards ceremony where Maverick announces Barnaby's start as an offical hero, to Kotetsu skulking home before the party and buying his own trading cards.

Also includes getting dressed in his car beforehand as in The Beginning because I like that part, but doesn't include sulking over wedding advertisements in the monorail because that's sad and spoilers.

Bomb threat. Form of a box of three christmas crackers! 1/3 uses remaining.

Episode 3 from when the alarm goes off until the end. THEY WERE AWESOME.

High school days: Picking his hero name, fighting Antonio. Form of small hand mirrors with a dark gray casing. 6/7 views remaining.

All of the story related in the first drama CD! Tomoe the class rep reveals that she's a huge hero fan, and helps him come up with non-terrible ideas for his hero name. (Fighting Tiger? but Lions are stronger.) Then she's kidnapped by Antonio's gang who have heard Kotetsu is strong, and Kotetsu fights Antonio without using his power. Then he uses his power to save Tomoe, and Antonio expresses surprise, both that his underlings have kidnapped her without telling him and that Kotetsu is a NEXT but didn't use his power in their fight. Kotetsu declares that he only uses his power to save people.

Later, Tomoe tells him he should definitely be a Tiger, since lions move in packs but Tigers hunt alone. So he decides to be Wild Tiger!

Fire Emblem is under suspicion; murder at the prison. Form of a tiny, sharp ax. Cut yourself with it. 2/3 uses remaining. Episode 6, 02:40-09:14.

( Isn't it our job to protect people's lives?! )

Ivan's power; being a hero. Form of a crown - one use.

( I'm so good. )

Being a father - time with Tomoe and Kaede. Form of a noisemaker that says WINNER!!! and sprays confetti when blown. 2/3 uses remaining.

Yaaaay Kotetsu remembers his wife and daughter. ♥ This is a general offscreen/headcanon montage memory! This covers the time from when Kaede was born to when she was about four, with a focus on his home life rather than his heroing work during that period. He loves Tomoe and Kaede ridiculously! He will be able to tell that this memory ends more than five years before his recent memories though.

He will now be more likely to be a dad at people.

Becoming a NEXT as a child. "I used to hate my powers, and cried every day." Form of a sterling-colored lollipop. 2/3 licks remaining.

( Implied + headcanon montage! Summary. )
