#taibani 2 spoilers
Okay, so in the recent livestream that they did for Tiger & Bunny 2, Episode 5, we learned that Antonio likes Agnes, but this is a secret (or like, something that shouldn’t be mentioned, I’ve seen some Japanese fans saying NG = no good or オフレコ (ofureko = off the record).
So some Japanese fans are speculating that Agnes may be pregnant with Antonio’s baby or that Antonio keeps bringing Agnes high calorie foods (b/c he likes her, so he is bringung her food, etc.).
I don’t mind the idea of Agnes gaining weight because she is pregnant. I think it is important to have media that depicts pregnant women working. My only worry is that they’ll do something like have her quit after having the baby or lose weight and suddenly be skinny again (if this does end up being the case). If she doesn’t quit though and isn’t suddenly skinny again like magic, then I’ll be more okay with that idea. We have a female director this time, so if they do go down this route, I have a bit more faith in them.
Of course, this is all just fan speculation and theorizing. Still interesting to think about and possibly something we will see being addressed in the second cour of season 2.
I’ve been thinking about this all day, so I’m going to add some additional thoughts to this in this reblog. I also posted about this over on the T&B subbreddit (and left a comment on the post with these same thoughts).
I *do* like the idea of Antonio and Agnes though, and I wouldn’t mind if the series explored that in an episode. It would be nice to get another episode with a larger focus placed on Antonio and, even more so than that, it would be *really* nice to see Agnes in a situation outside of HeroTV and work. We’ve never seen her outside the work setting before and if they did do something like an Antonio and Agnes focused episode (if it results in an actual relationship or not) it would be the perfect episode to flesh Agnes out more.
Another thing that makes this bit of information and anything possibly happening between them story wise very interesting to me, is how that would make them an official pairing in the series, and T&B doesn’t really have any of that, outside of Kotetsu and Tomoe. Kotetsu and Barnaby are heavily implied and are absolutely open to that interpretation, of course, but the stance on that (so far) is still that their relationship is open to interpretation. If we get one canon pairing in the way of Antonio x Agnes, I feel that opens the floodgates for other possible canon ships.
