Heat Guy J

Heat Guy J (2002–2004) This Science-fiction animé series chronicles the cases and adventures of a young Special Services officer named Daisuke Aurora and his powerful android partner simply named "J." Despite his robotic nature, J has a strict moral code and frequently espouses his personal aphorisms on how "A Man" should behave, while Daisuke affects a laid-back cynical air which conceals his compassionate heroism. Other characters include Kyoko Milchan, the young auditor of the Special Services division and Antonia Belucci, a scientist responsible for maintaining J. Season 1 Machi (Guy) [1.1] [Unwelcome advice] J: Daisuke, it's time to get up; A Man should not show signs of pain in front of the enemy. Daisuke: If I'm lucky, the rain'll rust your mouth shut! [Discussing how J keeps his energy up] J: A Man recharges his being by letting his soul float peacefully in the semi-darkness. Daisuke: You mean sleeping? J: Actually, I was referring to meditation. Honô (War) [1.2] [When J is stripped to his chassis following an explosion] Daisuke: Oh I think you look fine just the way you are J, really. J: A Man's appearance is a very personal choice. [Tenacity vs. boredom] Daisuke: It's always the same, J; Same old boring routine! J: When a Man starts to question the limits of his endurance, defeat prepares to pounce! Daisuke: You mean "Don't complain", right? Easy for you to say, but I'm not a machine. J: Then face it like a Man, Daisuke. Daisuke: Yeah, yeah, yeah; I'll do my best - starting tomorrow OK?

Uwasa (Bomb) [1.3] [Weight-loss and other superficial concerns] J: Antonia, your body-fat percentage has decreased; are you eating regularly?

Kemono (Chaos) [1.4] [Finding the right amount of sentimentality] Daisuke: J, the stars are all out! J: The stars shining in the sky; the legacy of the past guiding you to your destiny.

[On being the midwife of destiny] Daisuke: Hey J, Check out all the colours in the sunset! J: At day's end, a Man will often fall into deep thoughts. However.. Daisuke: I Know that one; "If you look too deeply into your past, you'll lose sight of the future.", right? J: A Man only exists to bring the future into being. Daisuke: It's all I can do to get through today. Yoku (Money) [1.6] [Daisuke gets the last word] J: A Man should not have to make excuses. Daisuke: Augh! Whose side are you on anyway? And let's not forget, you went in first! J: You have a point [Daisuke is not in the mood for philosophy] Daisuke: Hey J, check out the clouds! J: When a Man looks up to the sky there is an expectation of hope. Daisuke: I just don't like walking around with my head hanging down.

Kataki (Circulation) [1.7] [Losing his pendant causes Daisuke to lose a fight] J: A Man must always keep his eye on the enemy. It's absolutely imperative.

[More bonding-through-beating-people-up] Boma: So why did you come to help me? J: It is because a Man does not desert a friend. Boma: A friend? [On superstition, and the benefits of keeping an open mind] J: A Man who is overly influenced by accepted ideas cannot step into the future. Daisuke: I just like to take a detour here and there, that's all. Hibiki (Brother) [1.8] [After rescuing someone from a mugging] Daisuke: Tch! Didn't even bother to say thanks! J: A Man should never expect to be thanked. Daisuke: Yeah-yeah. [J fails the Turing test] Daisuke: I'm feeling really good! J: A good feeling in a Man will often cause him to do things that bring forth a new challenge. Daisuke: I'm not in the market for any trouble, you know. J: A real Man has a true feeling like this deep in his heart. Daisuke: So d'you think you know how I'm feeling right now? Is that what you're trying to say? J: A Man shouldn't be too curious unless it's necessary. Kizuna (Trust) [1.9] [After Daisuke gets slapped by Monica's mother for dropping Monica on the floor after she yells at Daisuke to let go] Daisuke: So how did I end up being the bad guy?, i didn't even get a thank you. J: If a man has good itentions, he should not expect thanks. [Monica smiles at Daisuke] J: Words are not the only way for one to express appreciation. Tama (Guns) [1.10] Maboroshi (Mirage) [1.11] Hikari (Visitor) [1.12] Daisuke: J, find the shortest route. Ahhh, J? J: This is the shortest route.

J: A man should try hard and always do his best at work and never be concerned with what the outcome may be. Geki (Encounter) [1.13] Tamashî (Arrow) [1.14] Princess: Hatred is something that can be forgiven in time. That is a sign of true human strength. Daisuke: i don't know about that, I think if someone can follow their hatred with pure resolve, then that's a sign of true strength as well. It also seems to be a strength that I am yet to possess.
