Plot[]
Rock Bison invites Tiger for a drink, saying that he and Origami Cyclone may end up splitting up. That evening Tiger joins him at the bar, but Rock Bison had already started drinking. After drinking too much, Bison explains that during a prep rally they ended up talking how they got their names. Bison wondered from where Cyclone comes, stating its something like typhoon, but to him Origami is more like a soft breeze, which seemingly offends Origami. Bison explains to Tiger that he just meant that the way Origami pops in and out the background reminds him of the way the wind blows right past you. Tiger then tells him that after he is sober, he should explain it and apologize to Origami. Bison states he apologizes, but feels he is still mad and won't even look at him. Bison wonders what it means to be partners as he can't understand where to set the boundaries and if its different than being friends. Tiger states its more than friends.
The heroes gather for a Hero Festival on November 7. Bison still feels that Origami is mad at him, but they perform like professional. One of the fans is there to meet Barnaby, stating they used to know each other from before, but Barnaby probably had forgotten him. At the handshake event, he gives Barnaby bubble gums, who recalls loving that brand as a kid, but initially doesn't recognize the man. As the man is about to leave, looking at the bubble gum, Barnaby remembers that the man must be Mattia, his neighbour from across the street where he lived. As the event ends, Bison is looking for Origami, but as he can't find him, he guesses he left and didn't give him a chance to apologize. Origami then comes out of a locker and leaves. Tiger wants to talk with him, but Barnaby stops him, stating he will talk with Origami. He follows him to the train station, where Origami states he is using it to observe humans in order to act better when he copies people. Some fans then recognizes Barnaby and surround him. After the fans leave, they go on a bench, where Origami guesses that Barnaby wants to talk about him and Bison, but Origami can't forgive what Bison said as it felt like he totally rejected who he was. Origami states that his name is his origin story. He explains that his parents told him to not show his powers to anyone, but as kids want to show off, he ended up revealing it in front of friends. However, rumors quickly spread and he was labelled a monster and everyone started to avoid him and he felt being invisible. One day his class went to an overnight camping trip and they were hit a by big typhoon. The adults went out to create a dig to stop the river from flooding the cabin. Origami felt that he must do something and transformed into their teacher and started calming his classmates. Since he was born as superhero in a typhoon, he became Origami Cyclone. Bison apologized without trying to understand why it was important to Origami, but Origami feels it would be weird if he tells him this story, and wonders how they should tell Bison. Barnaby takes a few moments before figuring that Origami wants someone else to tell him the story.
The next day, at the gym, Barnaby tells the story to Bison. Bison didn't knew it meant that much for him and wants to go apologize again, but Tiger and Barnaby stop him, saying he should be more careful, since if he tells it directly, Origami may feel embarrassed and not respond honestly. Mr. Black can't concentrate on his workout due to the three old men blabbering silly stuff. He then explains its simple and as he made fun of Origami name, he should just make a compliment about it. Origami then enters and the men panic. Seeing that, Mr. Black decides to show them, stating he is good at compliments. However, he directly starts trying to make him a compliment and makes some generic statements, making the rest realize he isn't really good at compliments. Origami then suspects that Bison asked Black to talk about Origami's name and is disappointed that he even made others make fun of his name. Bison tries to say it isn't true and Black decided it on its own, but Black explain he just tried to solve their silly stuff. Origami then thinks that Bison finds his name silly and strange, but Bison denies it, saying he heard his story from Barnaby and that Origami used Barnaby to tell him his name meaning. Origami then gets offended even more, and states he will change his name if he hates it that much. Someone also commented on Origami's blog that he isn't living up to his name, so Origami feels he should go with Origami Soft Breeze now, or more like Toilet Paper Soft Breeze.
Origami then runs away and Bison follows him. Outside, they see a bank robbery and rush in. Agnes informs the heroes of an ongoing bank robbery with hostages, but Bison informs her that they are already in the bank. Agnes explains that if they don't film it, they won't be able to air it, but Tiger and Barnaby state that people's safety comes first and they will help out. The robbers drag a kid, who starts crying. Origami copies his mother and wishes to be exchanged for the kid. As the robber agrees, he sees the kid returning to his mother and Origami transforms back to himself and knocks him out. The other robber starts shooting and Bison asks as a shield protecting Origami and the rest of the people. Origami then tells everyone to follow him, but as they are too afraid they don't move. Origami then decides to transform to Barnaby, who the people recognize and start following. While reloading, Bison then takes out the robber and the remaining two try to escape, but Tiger and Barnaby take them out. After the robbers get arrested, Bison apologizes to Origami and states that he is indeed Origami Cyclone, as he made the tide turn in a split second. That makes Origami happy and he forgives him.
Tiger invites Barnaby for dinner, but he declines, saying he is meeting a friend. Barnaby then goes out to meet up with Mattia.
Elsewhere, while eating, Nicolai Brahe asks Fugan and Mugan how many heroes have they defeated. The two answer twenty, but plan to defeat at least 36.
