| 11 | |
| 12 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasayaOnosaka, Creator/MarcThompson (English dub) |
| 13 | * AntiHero: In the beginning of the series, he fits both the [[ClassicalAntiHero classical]] cowardly and unlucky model and the modern "{{Jerkass}} [[NominalHero who does the right things for the wrong reasons]]" definition. He grows out of this with time, however. |
| 14 | * BerserkButton: More than a few things can cause him to fight without his usual cowardice dragging him down. |
| 15 | ** Don't wreck the meal his mother gave him like Bone Killer |
| 16 | ** Don't hit spectators, be it a child or your own mentor, like Checkmate. (Though this seems to be a common button among all choujin, good or [[EvenEvilHasStandards evil]].) |
| 17 | ** Do ''not'' savagely beat his best friend Seiuchin, like Maxman and Clioneman |
| 18 | ** Don't take a hostage in the middle of a match, like Dead Signal. |
| 19 | * BettyAndVeronica: Rinko ([[DubNameChange Roxanne]]) and Jacqueline, but only in the anime. In the manga he only had feelings for Rinko. |
| 20 | * BookDumb: Getting scores in the low-to-mid 20's (still a failing grade) was an ''improvement.'' In the dub, he even lists words with more than three syllables among his fears. |
| 21 | * ChivalrousPervert: He's girl-crazy and reads lewd magazines, but his heart is in the right place overall. In a more traditional example of this trope, he accidentally sets up a [[CompensatedDating compensated date]] and is appalled when he learns what it is. |
| 22 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The dub's theme song says Mantaro's "kinda nuts", and it's kinda right. His food-inspired {{Happy Dance}}s and the crazy costumes he sometimes dons are just the tip of the iceberg. His silly behavior often earns him a [[DopeSlap pummeling]] from Meat. |
| 23 | * 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 savvy. 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. |
| 24 | * CowardlyLion: Oh yes. Normally he'll scream, run, and hide at the sight of a tough enemy, but push his buttons and he'll come out swinging. |
| 25 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Sort of. Mantarou isn't so much hiding his badass nature so much as he's not fully aware of it. His moronoic attitude isn't really an act, either. As time goes on, he still stays as a moron but is more aware of his badass-ness. Especially when he has to be the leader of his own Muscle Brothers tag team. |
| 26 | * DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Beat Kinnikuman in a match to graduate from the Hercules Factory. Granted his father ''[[DentedIron was]]'' well past his prime. |
| 27 | ** [[spoiler:He and Chaos beat Kinnikuman and Terryman in the Ultimate Choujin Tag Tournament.]] |
| 28 | ** [[spoiler: Kevin Mask]] in the anime. [[spoiler: Prior to that, Kevin only lost once because his Big Bang Edge didn't land on the ring in time for the countdown to be stopped. (He was fighting his opponent outside of the ring)]] |
| 29 | * DentedIron: Before learning how to truly control his Burning Inner Strength, Mantarou wouldn't heal completely from his matches. At one point we see all his accumulated cuts and bruises and it is [[BodyHorror horrific]]! |
| 30 | * {{Determinator}}: Having the Burning Inner Strength pretty much guarantees this trope. He did once admit he was terrified and seemed like giving up when fighting Asuraman, but he stayed strong. Later, when fighting The Five Disasters he asked his grandfather to throw in the towel, but Kevin convinced him to keep going. |
| 31 | * FacialMarkings: Like his father, he has the kanji 肉 (''niku'') on his forehead, but it only appears when he's using his Burning Inner Strength. |
| 32 | * FinishingMove: [[GenerationXerox Kinniku Buster, Kinniku Driver]], Turn-Over Kinniku Buster, Muscle Millennium, and Muscle Gravity. |
| 33 | * FiveMovesOfDoom: The Iroha Hell Tour ([[DubNameChange Alphabet Soup-de-Loop in US]]), three holds chained together. |
| 34 | * FourManBand: The CasanovaWannabe. |
| 35 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine. A lazy, if personable, goofball with a strange sense of humor who'd rather be doing anything but fighting. |
| 36 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: To say no one likes Mantarou at all would be taking it a bit far. Still, you get the feeling that some of the other Justice Choujin merely accept Mantarou as one of them rather than actually like him. Seiuchin, and maybe Terry the Kid after a while, are about the only exceptions who seem to genuinely like Mantarou for who he is. |
| 37 | ** 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 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. |
| 38 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: Most, if not all, of the video games he appears in give him both the Kinniku Buster and the Muscle Millennium as super moves, despite the fact that he ''completely'' gave up using the former after inventing the latter. |
| 39 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Losing to Kevin Mask hit Mantarou ''hard''.]] |
| 40 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Seiuchin, especially in the anime. |
| 41 | * IdiotHero: Arguably dumber than [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} his father]] no thanks in part to his sheltered upbringing. Getting a quarter questions right at the start of the main Nisei series was considered a major improvement, for example. |
| 42 | * KidHero: He's 14 at the beginning and is younger than his father when he started wrestling |
| 43 | * 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. |
| 44 | * LovableCoward: He'll try his hardest to duck out of a match and constantly run crying and screaming when he's ''in'' one. |
| 45 | * MommasBoy: Violently so. He first achieved Burning Inner Strength when his mother's cooking was dishonored. (In the anime, at least.) |
| 46 | * PornStash: He's able to keep his [[DirtyOldMan dad and grandpa]] off his case with it. |
| 47 | * PunnyName: Suguru came up with the name due to Series/{{Ultraman}} (whom he is a fan of) having a brother named Series/UltramanTaro. He then took the name Kinnikuman Tarou and made it Kinniku Mantarou. |
| 48 | * SpoiledBrat: Suguru [[GiveHimANormalLife wanted Mantarou to have a normal childhood]] unlike himself and Ataru. Unfortunately, this resulted in him being cowardly, lazy, perverted, and utterly uninterested in becoming a wrestler. |
| 49 | * ToiletHumor: He farts like it's a language, frequently wets himself, and even uses his own [[DungFu shit]] to defeat [=MAXman=]... Mantarou has zero shame about this kind of stuff. When he was fighting Wash Ass/Hollywood Bowl, Meat mentions Mantaro really abuses toilets. Not to mention, in the anime's ending, he lets out a fart so powerful it grosses out everyone physically at attendance for his Choujin Olympics match. |
| 50 | * TookALevelInBadass: He takes several throughout the series. However, his first notable leap was for the fight with MAX Man. It's the first time we see him ''train'' for a fight and he arrives looking as muscular as his father. After actually training during the gap between the Olympics and Demon Seed arcs, Mantaro reaches new levels and start to form a new move in the Muscle Gravity as well as a new fighting style. He takes even more levels in badass in Ultimate Tag, helped by his training. From doing his own Bear Claw on the fly to learning brand new moves like the [[spoiler: Muscle Spark]]. |
| 51 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cow and Rice. |
| 52 | * VillainousLegacy: Mantarou's opponents, especially early on, tend to be children or grandchildren of the villains Kinnikuman defeated. Lampshaded by Mantarou at one point. |
| 53 | -->'''Mantarou''': Why do I keep inheriting enemies? |
| 54 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: He's 14 years old, yet his height and build looks more akin to a young adult. |

| 60 | |
| 61 | ---> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa, Creator/GregAbbey (English Dub) |
| 62 | |
| 63 | * AesopAmnesia: Terry eventually learns to accept his heritage and fight like his father. Unfortunately he has to learn this during nearly every match of his. Ultimate Tag is where it seems to stick, with a younger Terryman and Robin Mask being the ones to convince him to just try to be his own guy. |
| 64 | * BerserkButton: Comparing him to his father. |
| 65 | * ButNotTooForeign: Is half-Japanese on his mother's side. |
| 66 | * DramaticIrony: Terry mostly wanted to not be like his father for more superficial reasons like wanting the glory and finding his dad to be boring as a fighter. Kevin Mask wanted to not be like his father as rebellion for his father’s abuse in trying to make Kevin a perfect fighter. Terry goes on to learn from Robin and arguably polishes the Terry family moves to be his own strong personal versions. |
| 67 | * FacialMarkings: Has a K on his forehead. It's notable as being one of the few of these marks not removed for the Ultimate Muscle dub. |
| 68 | * FinishingMove: Texas Clover Hold, Spinning Toe Hold, Calf Branding |
| 69 | * FourManBand: TheSmartGuy. |
| 70 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric. Your basic Texan with a big personality, fighting to get out of Terryman's shadow. |
| 71 | * GenerationXerox: [[IAmNotMyFather A perception he desperately wants to overcome.]] |
| 72 | * HotBlooded: And how! |
| 73 | * TheLancer: He's usually treated as being just below Mantarou in terms of in-ring skill. |
| 74 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to his father's blue. |
| 75 | * ShoutOut: His name is clearly a reference to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_the_kid Billy the Kid]]. His American flag singlet later in the manga might be a reference to Wrestling/KurtAngle, who wore similar singlets. |
| 76 | * WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Later in the manga he has a singlet with the American flag on it. |

| 82 | |
| 83 | ---> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricStuart (English Dub) |
| 84 | |
| 85 | * AdaptationalBadass: He's shown to be far more competent in the ''Kinnikuman Nisei All Out Choujin Attack'' spinoff, as he actually wins more than one match on screen. |
| 86 | * BreakTheHaughty: Was an extremely arrogant [[{{Jerkass}} jerk]] when he first appeared, but constant losses took care of it. |
| 87 | * ButtMonkey: Especially in the anime. |
| 88 | * FakeUltimateHero: He's handsome, suave, and is stated to have gotten the highest score among all the Hercules Factory students on graduation, but has never canonically won a match. |
| 89 | * FinishingMove: Savannah Heat, a move seen only in the anime and games. |
| 90 | * FourManBand: The ButtMonkey. |
| 91 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic. He's a lovable loser type who resents it; he also likes to scold and give lectures. |
| 92 | * HighPressureBlood: After becoming the victim of Jade's Red Rain of Berlin, we learn just how the attack got its name. |
| 93 | * InformedAbility: He got the highest score on the graduation, but his skills don't show it in the ring. |
| 94 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his initial attitude of being so superior to even his fellow Hercules graduates, Gazelleman eventually starts goofing off and goes out partying with Mantarou, Terry, and Seiuchin. Before he was like that, he worked a booth for Mantaro trying to sell Mantaro merch as Mantaro was fighting Checkmate. He even tried to convince a boy to buy a Mantaro toy. |
| 95 | * ThrowTheDogABone: He actually manages to get a win in the Poison Six Pack filler arc, and this is lampshaded by his friends collectively crying TearsOfJoy at his victory out of pride, much to his embarassment. |
| 96 | * TheWorfEffect: The only time he won, was during the anime and that was a major ThrowTheDogABone from the animation staff. |
| 97 | ** It gets so bad that he's DemotedToExtra so that Jade can get this treatment |

| 104 | |
| 105 | ---> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakumiYamazaki, Creator/MaddieBlaustein (English Dub) |
| 106 | |
| 107 | * AerithAndBob: His parents are named Robert and Suzy and his sister is named Dorothy. [[DubNameChange Wally]] suddenly seems a lot more fitting. |
| 108 | * AxCrazy: Made this by [[spoiler:Neptuneman's TrainingFromHell]]. |
| 109 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: At first glance, you'd think he's just a goofball, and you'd be right. He's ''still'' got the second highest score in the Hercules Factory after Gazelleman. Neptuneman takes advantage of this, and during the qualifiers for the new tag tourney Sei surprised everyone by showing how bad ass he can truly be. |
| 110 | * FaceHeelTurn: In the Ultimate Choujin Tag Arc thanks to [[spoiler:Neptuneman's training to make him a Perfect Choujin]]. |
| 111 | * FinishingMove: Ice Rock Driver. |
| 112 | * FourManBand: The OnlySaneMan. |
| 113 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic. He's a lovable loser type... who's actually content with that. |
| 114 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Thankfully as he saw his parents in the past timeline in the audience and decides to fight as a Seigi Choujin but unfortunately later on, Neptuneman and Mammothman immediately ripped his face off after his loss to Warsman.]] |
| 115 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: What causes him to team up with Neptuneman in the first place. While he was appreciative of Neptuneman's praise, it was Mantaro's blatant disrespect towards Sei that made Sei go off to team up with Neptuneman. When Mantaro came back, he got his muddy shoes all over the laundry Sei had just finished, irking Sei a bit. Then, when Neptuneman emphasized it was Sei that he wanted as his tag partner, Mantaro went on a long rant about how much he thinks Sei is a screw up and doesn't even deserve to be called New Generation if not for doing chores for everyone (mainly Mantaro). This really upset Sei, and after Neptuneman left, Mantaro asked Sei to prepare him a meal and wash his underwear. Sei, fed up, throws the underwear back in Mantaro's face. 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. |
| 116 | * NiceGuy: Although it costs him in the ring, since he tends to go easy on opponents if they show signs of fatigue. |
| 117 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: In the dub. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when [[ThoseTwoGuys Mac Metaphor and Doc Nakano]] express surprise at learning he's Irish. |
| 118 | * SmallStepsHero: Like the rest of Team AHO, he skipped out on training, but ''unlike'' the rest of them, he did it so he could patrol the city and keep kids out of trouble. [[GoodIsNotNice Clioneman mocks him for not looking at the bigger picture.]] |
| 119 | * ThrowTheDogABone: See Gazelleman's entry. |
| 120 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Salmon and other fish. |
| 121 | * TheWorfEffect: Interestingly, he is actually aware of this, and is actually proud of being defeated because that let's his friends learn the villains abilities firsthand. |
| 122 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Courtesy of [[spoiler:Neptuneman and Mammothman]] in the Ultimate Choujin Tag Arc. |

| 128 | |
| 129 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaroOkiayu, Creator/TedLewis (English dub) |
| 130 | |
| 131 | * AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: It turns out that his trainer, Chloe, was actually Warsman, so he not only possesses all of Robin Mask's moves due to being trained by him, but he also has his own versions of Warsman's moves, like his Mach Pulverizer, a clawless equivalent of Warsman's screw driver, and he also preforms Warsman's Storm Elbows in his fight with Mantaro. This goes even further in Ultimate Tag when he is trained by Terryman, Suguru, and Robin prior to the final match with the Five Disasters which he enters as Kinnikuman Great IV]]. |
| 132 | * AntiVillain: Back when he was in the dMp, he objected to his teammates's use of dirty tricks like Tel-Tel Boy's Trauma Voice Dial or Maxman's desire to beat up a still-injured Mantaro. |
| 133 | * CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: [[spoiler:Kinnikuman Great IV in the Finals of the Ultimate Choujin Tag Arc. Interestingly, he is the only Kin Great who was not trained by Kamehame or Kamehame himself, although he did get some training from Suguru who based his style at the time around Kamehame's techniques.]] |
| 134 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: Inverted [[spoiler:in the manga. When Kevin defeated Mantarou to win the Revived Choujin Olympics, he said he had every intention of throwing his title belt on the the ground and spitting on it. However, truly earning that belt through TrainingFromHell and getting by three very difficult opponents caused his to realize the value of fair competition. It was probably the biggest seed planted that lead to his final HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 135 | * DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Manga only. The ONLY person to successfully defeat [[spoiler: Kinniku Mantarou.]] |
| 136 | * {{Determinator}}: Once he gains Maelstrom Power. |
| 137 | * EleventhHourSuperpower: Maelstrom Power which is like the Burning Inner Strength! |
| 138 | * FinishingMove: Big Ben Edge/Bash and OLAP. An interesting note about these holds is his father, Robin Mask, developed the theories behind them, but could never execute them himself. |
| 139 | * HazyFeelTurn: Initially, he left the [=dMp=], but continued to oppose Mantaro and the rest of the Muscle League until he finally joined up with them in the Demon Seed Arc. |
| 140 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: LikeFatherLikeSon, but it took a lot longer for him. |
| 141 | * IWorkAlone: After becoming disillusioned with the dMp, Kevin decided to be a "free agent." Subverted at the end of the Demon Seed arc. |
| 142 | * InvincibleHero: The guy never lost in the manga. To be fair, he did have earn his win against [[spoiler:Mantarou]]. |
| 143 | * LightningBruiser: Despite being 7'0" tall and having a distinctly muscular build, Kevin is a very quick and agile fighter, utilizing quick strikes and nimble throws rather than brute strength. His usual victory pose is even a jumping splits. |
| 144 | * ManlyTears: [[spoiler: After Mars is killed in the Demon Seed arc.]] |
| 145 | * MrFanservice: He's gotten the most fans in and out-verse for this trait. |
| 146 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His name, hairstyle, towering height and ties to an [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder nWo]] parody evoke Wrestling/KevinNash. |
| 147 | * RetGone: The primary goal of the Time Travel/Ultimate Tag Team arc was to kill Robin Mask in the past to prevent Kevin Mask from being born. |
| 148 | * TheRival: To Mantaro |
| 149 | * 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. |

| 155 | |
| 156 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/WayneGrayson (English dub) |
| 157 | |
| 158 | * AdaptationalBadass: While he has a worse record in V-Jump (since he really only had one match on screen and it was a loss), he has a lot more moves and variety than his main Nisei counterpart. |
| 159 | * TheAhnold: In the dub. |
| 160 | * FinishingMove: Red Rain Of Berlin and Beefcake Hammer. |
| 161 | ** Replaces the Red Rain of Berlin with Brocken's Repatriation in the Ultimate Tag arc thanks to TimeyWimeyBall. |
| 162 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: He's Brocken Jr.'s son in the dub. |
| 163 | * TagTeam: Super Trinities (with Scarface) and Beauty Blondes (with Terry the Kid, anime only) |
| 164 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Out of all of the Generation Ex, he's the least antagonistic of the group [[spoiler: especially since Scarface was TheMole for Dmp]] |
| 165 | * WhatWereYouThinking: Jade lives and breathes this trope. Most of the turnarounds in his matches that cause his loss are due to what can only be classified as acting dumb. Especially a variant of not thinking things through and being rash. One of the biggest examples is acting shocked when Mars reveals he has evil ambitions during Ultimate Tag. This example is the biggest because he brings up them training together at Hercules Factory when previously in the series he informed others that Mars slept through the teachings! Not only that, but as Jade questions Mars' motives before their first match in the tournament proper, small flashback drawings of Mars brutalizing Jade are shown around his head! |
| 166 | * TheWorfEffect: He only won once against Dik Van Dik , and was to his [[TheWorfEffect worf effect]]. A notable example occurs in U. Tag during the qualifying round to narrow the competing teams down by having a battle royale. While most of the good choujin are getting smacked around by notable villains for the series, Jade and Mars get smacked around by random no names. Random no names who are easily eliminated in the same chapter by someone else! |

| 176 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: After already getting the crowd on his side he uses a dog as bait to hit Mantaro with his illusionary train. When Mantaro saves the dog and smacks the train away, he tries to shame him for damaging public property. The crowd calls him out for putting the dog in danger to begin with, to his shock. |

| 208 | The second of Sunshine's students and [[WakeUpCallBoss the first truly challenging opponent for Mantaro]]. After being defeated, he changes his ways. |
| 209 | ----- |
| 210 | * AdaptationalNationality: The dub made him British. He's originally from Monaco. |
| 211 | * BigDamnHeroes: When he saved Dik Dik from Monsieur Cheeks and Mr. French's two-on-one assault. |
| 212 | * CulturedBadass: He acts refined and gentlemanly unlike his partner Rex King. However, once he begins fighting, Check Mate is much more brutal and ruthless. |
| 213 | * ElementalShapeShifter: His Rook and Grand Slam forms transform his body into solid stone. |
| 214 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Back when he was in the [=dMp=], as explicitly noted by both Terry the Kid and Sunshine, looking not as explicitly evil or hideous like his colleagues, but still a cruel sadist underneath his façade. Averted post-HeelFaceTurn, as he's now ''exactly'' as heroic as he looks. |
| 215 | * FeelsNoPain: At first. He overestimates this and forgets that he only doesn't feel pain, but his body still feels the damage and strain from the attacks like any other person, and this comes back to bite him HARD against Mantaro, and is the ultimate reason for his defeat. |
| 216 | * FloweryElizabethanEnglish: Talks like this in the dub. |
| 217 | * HeelFaceTurn: Started out as a villain, but turned to the light side after his defeat. Possibly one of the most blatant examples in the franchise as he can not even fight the Demon Seed because he is no longer “bad” enough to get past the barrier. But other villains who did not hit children can get through just fine. Arguably the biggest in the new generation, considering he was the only one of the Choujin who went back in time who seemed to have kept his Friendship Power even after the Five Disasters admitted they tampered with it. |
| 218 | * KnightOfCerebus: His big match is the longest in the series up to that point, and gives Mantaro his worst clobbering yet. More to the point, he eventually and brutally turns on Sunshine, proving a far more complex opponent than the rest of the villains so far. |
| 219 | * LackOfEmpathy: His inability to feel pain drove him to label those who do as "weak." |
| 220 | * MultiformBalance: Knight form is for speed, Rook form is for defense, Human form is more adaptable. |
| 221 | * OneWingedAngel: His Knight, Rook, and Grand Slam |
| 222 | * OurCentaursAreDifferent: His Knight and Grad Slam forms turn him into a centaur. |
| 223 | * RedemptionDemotion: His HeelFaceTurn was driven by a desire to understand human nature after first witnessing it in his fight with Mantarou. An unforunate side effect appears to be the loss of his inability to feel pain. |
| 224 | * TrainingFromHell: Sunshine put him through the most agonizing regiment ever, resulting in Check Mate finally blocking out all feelings of pain. |
| 225 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Initially he's praised for his [[FauxAffably seemingly]] genuine polite nature, elegant appearance, and talent in spite of working for the [=DMP=]. This gets averted as his true nature begins to show, especially [[WouldHarmAChild he hits a child]], causing the crowd to turn against him. |
| 226 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Can "chess piece change" from King to Knight to Rook, or to the "Grand Slam", a combination of all three. |
| 227 | * WakeUpCallBoss: While the previous enemies of the sequel, were mildly difficult, they had one gimmick that could be overcome and often lost due to humiliating weaknesses being exploited for Mantaro to defeat them with ease. Check Mate proved to be the first enemy to be genuinely skilled with a variety of techniques and dominated him for the majority of the fight, forcing Mantaro to go all out to defeat him. Enemies following him would be increasingly difficult to defeat. |
| 228 | * WouldHarmAChild: He elbows a boy who calls him out on his brutal tactics. |

| 234 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for his disguised look]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarface_image.jpg[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 235 | * AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter: As stated in AwesomenessByAnalysis, one of his specialties is to copy the moves of his opponents and modify them into his own improved variations, the most infamous being his Ultimate Scar Buster. |
| 236 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Studies trademark moves and reversals of other choujin and improves on them. |
| 237 | %%* BloodKnight |
| 238 | * BookDumb: Subverted. He gives off this impression initially, and Jade even describes him as sleeping through classes, but [[GeniusBruiser he still]] [[AwesomenessByAnalysis can make improved versions of other peoples' moves]].[[note]]Arguably FridgeBrilliance on the part of the writers. Scarface would have already learned all practical lessons while training in the [=dMp=]. Anything new from his Hercules Factory studies would have likely just been Justice Choujin pholosphies, which Scarface had no interest in learning.[[/note]] |
| 239 | * BoringButPractical: His improvement on the Spinning Toe Hold? He simply attacks both legs with the move instead of one. |
| 240 | * DittoFighter: PlayedWith. He DOES copy his opponents moves, but, his versions are modified to be more deadly or more effective, like the Ultimate Scar Buster, his version of the Kinniku Buster, has him apply a leg lock to make it more inescapable. |
| 241 | * DisneyOwnsThisTrope: His DubNameChange for the US anime and games is probably to avoid copyright issues with [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} the movie of the same name]]. |
| 242 | * EvilCounterpart: To Mantarou. He wears red instead of blue, has a Kinniku Buster-inspired move for his FinishingMove, both never paid any attention in classes at the Hercules Factory, (Mantarou because he was eating, Scarface because he was sleeping), [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and both]] [[ActingForTwo are voiced by]] Creator/MarcThompson.[[invoked]] |
| 243 | * FinishingMove: Ultimate Scar Buster, Spinning Double Toe Hold, Buffalo Branding, and Man's German. |
| 244 | * GeniusBruiser: A skilled wrestler who also improved upon the Kinniku Buster. |
| 245 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Started to revert to his evil ways in the latest arc, but quickly got over it. Of course, being beaten around by a mutating Sei probably helped him make that choice. |
| 246 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: After his Ultimate Scar Buster failed against Ashuraman, the latter picked on Mars' trick to use his legs in a triangle leg lock to make the Kinniku Buster irreversible and unbreakable to perfect his Ashura Buster, which he then proceeds to use on Mars.]] |
| 247 | * TheMole: The Scarface persona was [[CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown a disguise]] so he could enter the Hercules Factory and get revenge for the destruction of the [=dMp=]. |
| 248 | * RedemptionDemotion: Played with. He no longer copies his opponents moves and improves upon them as a Justice Choujin, and also stops using the his improved version of other Choujin's moves entirely aside from his Ultimate Scar Buster. He still uses these improvements when donning his “Mask of Madness” against Sei and Neptuneman, but he never tries to enhance any of their moves. To his credit, his more brutal and enhanced moves do quite well against Sei and Neptuneman at first, and the fight really only starts to go against him when Sei starts mutating. Further to his credit, Neptuneman says he needed a powerful and evil fighter like Scar to awaken Sei's potential more, so it's not so much a demotion as other bigger fish are around now. |
| 249 | * TagTeam: Blood-Evoltions (With Kevin Mask), and Super Trinities (with Jade) |
| 250 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pineapples. |
| 251 | * VariantPowerCopying: His signature. His Spinning Double Toe Hold and Buffalo Branding are modified versions of Terry the Kid's Spinning Toe Hold and Calf Branding, and his Ultimate Scar Buster is a modified Kinniku Buster. |
| 252 | * VocalDissonance: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig Zagged]]. He has a stereotypical rough & gravelly "Mafia Thug" voice in the dub, which is fitting for his overbody of a Gangster-themed Choujin. But it's something of a mismatch with his true appearance, which is a well muscled hunk. |

| 264 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin_barrier.jpg]] |
| 265 | * BoringButPractical: While the way Jijioman achieves the moves is anything but boring, they are based on practical moves like using the palm to hit someone. Being boring but practical did not help Nils get money he wanted when wrestling to make things better for the elderly, which is why he looked for and fused with Jijioman. |
| 266 | * DirtyOldMan: Jijioman |
| 267 | * FusionDance: Nils and Jijioman |
| 268 | * OutOfFocus: Most likely due to RuleOfFunny, Nils would appear less and less frequently, making Jijioman the dominant personality. Some fans took note that during U. Tag when Jijioman had his face ripped off, it was treated as if Barrierfreeman (both parts) had died. But the only one to suffer was Jijioman. This is especially odd because when Tattooman killed Barrierfreeman he murdered both entities that make up Barrierfreeman. |
| 269 | * SealedEvilInACan: Because Jijioman was a massive pervert in the past, he was sealed within a tree for 200 years until Nils found him. |

| 282 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin_tel.jpg]] |
| 283 | * CallBack[=/=]RecurringBossTemplate: His fight with Mantarou has many similar elemants as Kinnikuman's fight against Stecase King. |
| 284 | * CombatPragmatist: He's not strong enough to outwrestle Mantarou, so he resorts to mind games and weapons. |
| 285 | * CombatTentacles: His [[AbsurdlySharpBlade Antenna Slice]]/[[DubNameChange Handtenna]] [[ShockAndAwe Zap Slap]]. In the anime, he has even more. |
| 286 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: His technique of calling people and using his foe’s trauma surrounding said people is perfectly sound by all accounts. The only thing he did not account for is Mantaro, while he loves his dad, has no respect for him whatsoever. Tel-Tel’s attempt at using the great Kinnikuman to end his own legacy backfires because Mantaro takes Suguru’s ranting as the hypocrisy it was and slaps Suguru (Tel-Tel) around a little while he’s doing it. |
| 287 | * KilledOffForReal: By his own teammate, no less. |
| 288 | * LorreLookalike: In the dub, Creator/EricStuart channels Creator/PeterLorre for his voice. |
| 289 | * ManBitesMan: Does this to Mantarou while imitating a Doberman Pinscher the latter was traumatized by in childhood. |
| 290 | * MasterOfIllusion: With his Trauma Voice Dial technique, he can read his opponents' memories and appear as their [[IKnowWhatYouFear worst fears]]. Only the opponent sees it, though--everybody else sees him normally. |
| 291 | * NoPeripheralVision: [[LogicalWeakness Since his body is a phone]], he can't turn his head. Mantarou gleefully attacks his blind spots. |
| 292 | * ShockAndAwe: In the anime adaption, his Antenna Slice is changed into an electric move. |
| 293 | * SupernaturalPhone: Since his body is a phone, he can make calls with himself and uses this to trigger his illusion powers. Note that the calls are not for show; at one point he dials the wrong number and has to try again. This, too, ties into his defeat - Mantarou uses him to dial the time-and-temperature line, because he knows [[spoiler:when it's supposed to rain]]. |

| 303 | * TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Years of turning into a sneaker have made him a ''little'' loopy--he sleeps in a giant shoebox, and he constantly worries about keeping clean and not dented. Mantaro used this to his advantage by essentially pooping on MAXman. Because nothing spells death for shoes more than poop. Even if you clean it, everyone will just remember them as the poop shoes. |
| 304 | * SissyVillain: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged.]] On the one hand, he's a neat freak who constantly frets about his body being clean and buffed and freaks out epically when faced with either poo or a stinkbug, but on the other, he's pretty brutal in the ring. |

| 467 | * {{Expy}}: Of Pentagon and Black Hole since he is a 4D Choujin himself. He can also be seen as an Expy towards Stecase King, due to his gimmicky fighting style involving him changing to different modes, except he didn't replicate other pre-existing wrestler's moves, as well as facing off with the main protagonist himself. |
| 468 | * FinishingMove: New Boa Suplex, Starry Night Shooter, and Purple Cairo Rose. |

| 471 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Mantaro invokes the power of the Serpentarius Constellation with a combination of deliberately receiving injuries from his Purple Rose of Cairo technique and the use of the Face Flash move, causing The Constellation to be unable to become super flexible as he does when he invokes the Serpens Technique |

| 500 | * MundaneUtility: PlayedWith.

| 501 | * PowerCopying: He uses Warsman's Palo Special technique on Illioukhine during their fight. |
| 502 | * SensorCharacter: In Bike Mode, he has the Choujin Navigation System that works like a GPS that contains data of past and present Choujin of their info including weaknesses.

| 509 | * CombatPragmatist: He uses his puppets to assist himself in a fight, which can bite his opponents with their strong jaws and sharp teeth, blow them away with huge gusts from a fan, and his final trick even has one that uses a bow and arrow, which goes far beyond what usual Choujin's do to cheat. |
| 510 | * FinishingMove: Edo Village Drop. |
| 511 | * KnowsTheRopes: The basis behind his '''Tears of Blood: Arching Shrimp Persecution''' technique, which has him tie up his opponents in a shrimp-tie fashion, and then get him upside down and in a painful submission hold where he pulls on their legs while holding them in place with his own. |
| 512 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: He accidentally ends up revitalizing Jiijoman with his Bow and Arrow doll, as Jiijoman deliberately lets the arrows strike him in various pressure points around his body, causing him to gain a lot of muscle mass and return to the strength he had in his prime. [[spoiler:Subverted when he later plucks the arrows out of Jiijoman's back when he has him in his Narayama Backbreaker.]] |

| 514 | * PerversePuppet[=/=]CreepyDoll: He weaponizes Karakuri Ningyo dolls as part of his repertoire of techniques.

| 515 | * WickedCultured: He dresses somewhat formally with the Kimono he wears, and his entire gimmick is themed around the very highbrow concept of history, down to obscure tidbits like the Karakuri Ningyo dolls. In the Japanese version, he uses a lot of archaic and theatrical speech. |
| 516 | * WouldHarmASenior: He shows Jiijoman no mercy whatsoever in his fight. |

| 521 | The second-to-last member of the Demon Seed, and one of the strongest ones. He forms the Demolition tag team with Reborn Ashuraman, and they collectively guard Meat's left leg and his head. Demolition are first fought by Kevin Mask and Mars, who formed the tag team Blood Evolution, at the General Rib, which is located in Ganryu Island. Later, they fight in a climactic tag team match against The Bocchans (~The Young Masters, localized as "The Fancy Lads"), composed of Mantaro and Kevin Mask, at the Demon Womb, located in the Osore Mountain of the Shimokita Peninsula. He has the ability to weaponize electricity, as well as turn parts of his body into electric appliances. |
| 522 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He's shown to have chalk-white skin in his colored artwork. |
| 523 | * BodyHorror: He can produce an outlet ''made from his own body'' to plug in appliances, and some of the flesh of his arms is notably torn off, revealing a metal girder underneath, and his shoulders are replaced by one tesla orb each. [[spoiler:He ends up getting a hole melted through him when Kevin Mask destroys the microwave he uses in his Fatal Square move with a Golddust plating, which also takes out the Plutonium Battery he uses as a power supply.]] |
| 524 | * TheBrute: He's the most muscular out of all the Demon Seed members, and his fighting style relies the most on raw power. He is also by far the most durable, thanks in no small part to being powered by a plutonium battery. |
| 525 | * TheDragon: He's the longest lasting member of the Demon Seed aside from Ashuraman himself, and uniquely serves as a tag-team partner. |
| 526 | * DreadlockWarrior: His country of origin is Jamaica, which is reflected in his Dreads. |
| 527 | * FashionableAsymmetry: He wears a glove on one of his hands, but not the other. |
| 528 | * ImpossiblyGracefulGiant: He is surprisingly agile despite looking like he'd be a MightyGlacier, but he managed to hit Scar and Kevin with a double overhead kick by backflipping off of the ropes. |
| 529 | * LightEmUp: He can use one of his dreads to turn into a lightbulb, which shines so brightly it can actually induce pain in his enemies for his Hell Light Bulb move. |
| 530 | * LightIsNotGood: He has pale white skin and has two Tesla orbs for his shoulders, plus as mentioned above in LightEmUp, he can weaponize light itself, but he is an exceptionally violent Akuma Choujin. |
| 531 | * LogicalWeakness: His electric powers do jack against anything that is properly insulated with things like rubber, as shown with Mars creating a rubber coating from the ropes of the rings to protect himself against, and his Fatal Square move is downright harmful to himself if the opponent has metal around them, as shown with Kevin Mask and his steel armor. [[spoiler:As well as the makeshift gold-plating Kevin later applies to himself using a broken off lightning rod from Voltman, steel fragments of his armor, gold-dust from Sunshine, and a pool of water in the Demon Womb, which winds up destroying the microwave he uses for his Fatal Square technique.]] |
| 532 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: His aforementioned ability to produce an outlet made from his own flesh and muscle, which he uses to plug in various things, although mercifully the only one we are shown is a lightbulb. |
| 533 | * PetTheDog: A very, very, very, VERY minor example, but he seems to be genuinely sympathetic when he remarks that a mourning mother who continously shows up outside the Demon Womb to mourn her dead child, simply stating that "She must've really loved that child..." with a forlorn expression on his face. |
| 534 | * PowerSource: The source of his electric abilities comes from a Plutonium Battery in the center of his chest. |
| 535 | * SpectacularSpinning: The basis behind the first half of his Megahertz Tempest technique, where he begins to rapidly spin around his opponent, then gets into a human bridge position, sending them flying up into the ceiling above, where he then leaps up (without spinning) to slam them back into the ground. |
| 536 | * TopHeavyGuy: He has something of a strawberry body shape, where his chest is wider than the rest of his body, and his shoulders being tesla orbs makes his upper body look even more imposing compared to his legs, which, while muscular, look smaller in comparison. |
| 537 | * TinyHeadedBehemoth: His pectorals are literally bigger than his entire head, plus, his dreadlocks and immense neck muscles make that noggin of his look even smaller by comparison. |
| 538 | * ShockAndAwe: He's able to straight up electrify his opponents because of the Tesla orbs and Lightning Rods that are a part of his body. |

He said while Thunder has his own mother to worry about, Lightning has no one that will miss him. So, he jumps into the volcanic Mt. Fuji and perishes into ashes.]] |
| 566 | * DyingAlone: [[spoiler:He decides this fate since he believes no one will miss him and that at least Thunder has his mother that does.]] |
| 567 | * 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. |
| 568 | * HealingFactor: [[spoiler:He can reverse all the damage he suffered with Evolution mouthpiece upside down via a technique called Body Clock Back-Spin!]] However, [[spoiler:doing this too many times will eventually cause his body to break down to irreversible damage.]] |

| 584 | * HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: A lot of Choujin fit this trope, but Thunder stood out. [[spoiler:He was thrown into the swords but got back up ''normally'' thanks to the swords not hitting his vital organs, took a Cross Bomber and lived thanks to Mammothman backstabbing Neptuneman via power vector, accidentally fell victim to his and Lightning's own Death Watch Branding intended for Mantaro and Kevin, then took a NIKU->LAP to finally bring him down, and then somehow... he ''managed'' to get back up to stop Mantaro's Muscle Spark from finishing off Lightning! Let's see if Kevin's Big Ben Edge can finally bring him down.]] |

When he finally gets his head in the game, he treats almost everyone he idolizes like crap. [[spoiler:This is mostly because their heelish behavior fails to meet his standards.]] |
