I found this on the ANN forums for any who are interested:

Spoiler for upcoming episode summaries 7-10:

just passing along some weirdly translated comments from Newtype about upcoming episodes:
7: Barnaby's flashback. Barnaby's been searching for who is reponsible for his parents' murder, but the only keyword he remembers is Ouroborous
As Barnaby and Kotetsu chase a criminal, a mysterious NEXT named "Lunatic" who controls blue flame kills the criminal

8: Kotestu and Ivan a.k.a Origami Cyclone visits the Hero Academy.
Ivan comes from here. But he was deeply troubled by an incident he caused in the past while at the academy

9: Huang Paoling a.k.a Dragon Kid hates to dress cute, and doens't even wear the flower shaped hair ornament given to her from parents.
Meanwhile, Kotestu is summoned by Anies to babysit the mayor's son, Sam.
But Sam doesn't take Kotetsu to his liking. But he does take liking to Paoling.

10: Kotetsu takes a paid vacation to visit his daughter. Meanwhile Barnaby has identified his parents' killer, and visits the jail to find out the truth from him.

Another fantastic episode. I especially like the way that Barnaby's tragic past was shot with the flames, point of view shots, and that haunting music. Also really liked the way the Ouroboros guy was introduced standing on top of the building. That's definitely the guy from the opening so I'm thinking we might have our main villain.

I think the best of this show is yet to come.

Is the superheroes really based on the chinese zodiac of animals?If this true that means including Lunatic that left only three more superheroes yet to be reveal..
(im just guessing)
next episode is the dragon kid...can't wait.
I daresay the characters here is more "fabulous" than that lame star driver characters

I'm pretty sure that if the episode summaries are spot on we still have to wait till 3 episodes from now till we get to Dragon Kid.

A shame really.

I like how in the prison the old man was distraught that a prisoner died in his arms, but when he goes up against the guy who did the elevator bombing being burned alive right in front of him he's somehow too buzy looking away elsewhere, with the green flame still lighting his face all the meanwhile.

YAY PLOT

I'm watching this anime for the 5 seconds in the middle of the show. So shoot me.

YAY PLOT

That's probably due to:

1. The prisoner that died in his arms being more of a "innocent bystander" (as the evil NEXT could have targetted any prisoner that was outside) when compared to the bomber.

2. The attack on the elevator bomber was more of an attack to make the evil NEXT's prescence known to Wild Tiger and Barnaby (as well as Fire Emblem and the director), as they all thought that he was the one who torched to death numerous prisoners.

[Master Chibi]

Well you say 'innocent bystander' but he was directly targeted as well, and for the sake of being black and white for the show he was also in prison. For all we don't know guy could have been in there for throwing babies into traffic.

:P

Found these yesterday. I thought they were quite amusing to read

[Master Chibi]

Dear god I believe that's the most amazing fanart I've ever seen in my life.

The 'Peanuts' one in particular is fucking brilliant.

[ReddyRedWolf]

Anybody else thinks Lunatic is that judge raise your hand.

[KRegnard]

Yea, the new villain's obviously the judge. He appeared in the first episode too.

Something occurs to me in the fight in episode 6. When Kotetsu flagged down Nathan Seymore while running away from the mecha, they argued about what to do while crouching in front the car, thus placing the engine between them and the gunfire. When the rest of the car getting shredded, they were relatively safe (without their suits).

I'm not sure if they did this deliberately or that's just an happy accident.

[wandering-dreamer]

Well, the mech was coming at them from behind the car so it makes sense to hide behind the front of the car, puts more space between you and it and you don't want to be in the car in case it explodes. Just seemed like common sense (well, common sense in that world) to me.

OH GOD these are simply awesome.
I especially love the Dilbert one.

[wandering-dreamer]

Best fanarts ever, kudos to whoever did these! I think the Calvin and Hobbes riff is my favorite, and I'm bemused to see that the plushie bunny is a more popular character than some of the other superheros. XD

[TAKOYAKI]

I just had watched ep 7.
Oh, the girl appeared again!!

I laughed that bunny have a lot of glasses.

Which girl, the one who got kidnapped before the concert? (I thought that was part of the show actually, maybe she's an actress and keeps doing hero related stunts?)

Spoiler for episode 7:

Well it looks like everyone who was calling Lunatic a vigilante nailed it, a vigilante who has a flair for the dramatic it looks like (hmm, the reporter specifically said that she was opening communications between all heroes, maybe that's how he found out about the raid?). And y'all are right, with the focus on the judge at the end he's got to be Lunatic, I suppose that gives him access to criminal records so he knows where to find his next victims, it's still pretty ironic though.

Kotetsu's wife's photo makes another appearance after finding out Barnaby's parents' death. Looks like she's also dead.
