** Heavily deconstructed in Ultimate Tag when it comes time for him to form a tag team. He originally just assumes he'll be with Terry then gets confused and angry when Terry wants to do his own thing. When almost everyone else is done pairing up, he gets even more upset. Almost no one wants to team up with him, with even Checkmate begging Seiuchin to be his tag partner. When by some miracle, the 21st Century Neptuneman reveals himself, Mantaro's first thought is to want Neptuneman as a tag partner. Mantaro's motives are selfish, wanting Neptuneman to do most of the work. When Neptuneman reveals he wants Sei, Mantaro goes on a rant about how much of a failure and loser Sei is in his eyes, even saying they call him part of the good guys because he does chores well. Mantaro continues to disrespect Sei, upsetting Sei so much that he doesn't even call Mantaro "Aniki" anymore. While The Five Disasters reveal they may have tampered with the New Generation's Friendship Power, Mantaro's choices and actions created arguably an even bigger crack. Mantaro has to work hard to restore everyone's friendship with him, with Sei being his most difficult person to sway back.

* LazyBum: Self-admitted in the dub. He even faked getting sick to get out of regular training after the dMp were destroyed. Almost every Nisei arc's first fight for Mantaro has the opponent comment that he spent the time between arcs goofing off rather than training, which lets the opponent knock Mantaro around a bit. He stops this mostly after the Olympics and his [[spoiler: loss to Kevin Mask]], before he goes back to relaxing at the start of U. Tag.

When Mantaro tries to get on his case about it, Sei glares at him and says "Goodbye, Mantaro". Not the normal "Aniki", just "Mantaro". Even Mantaro is left stunned.

* TrainingFromHell: Tends to go through this a lot. Be it from his mentors or self-imposed. He even trains on a cruise ship while traveling to the Olympics.
* EvilerThanThou: Neptuneman does a "Judgment Lock-Up" with Lightning, which is how Neptuneman gauges a Choujin's abilities and even personality. Lightning plays around with this idea, making Neptuneman unable to get an accurate read on him. As the match goes on, Neptuneman says that The Five Disasters have eviler ambitions than him, and that they aren't trying to fight, just slaughter people. The Five Disasters go on to prove just that, by slaughtering Neptuneman AND ruining his tag team. Neptuneman, who spent most of the tournament as an evil force of nature, is left a battered old man with a completely destroyed arm, back, and heart when the match is over.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: In comparison with his father, Suguru who was more IdiotHero and a braggart, Mantaro is an even worse coward than he was, but is more battle savvysavvy. When Mantaro and Suguru interact with eachother via a gag in Ultimate Tag, Suguru says Mantaro is different from Suguru because Suguru took the time to make the gag more elaborate with actual props. Even more from Ultimate Tag, Suguru has at least two women who still care about him a great deal, romantically and not. Mantaro does not have that that much during this arc, with Rinko and Chaos getting their own romance.
