Awesome / Ultimate Muscle

• Mantarou's first use of the Kinniku Buster against Bone Killer/Adversarius, the first hint of the badass hidden in this crouching moron.
• The fact that turning into a shoe can even qualify as an effective superpower.
• Mantarou vs. Checkmate. Just....all of it.
• Terry's tribute to his fallen teammates after Wally and Dik Dik were beaten by Hydrazoa and Jeager: Wearing the flags of their home countries at half mast....on his elbows.
• One of Road Rage's attacks is to put people into a hallucination of them getting hit by a train while he attacks them. He does this to Mantarou and completely clobbers him. He tries it again later, while a puppy is in the ring. Mantarou grabs the puppy and then kicks the 'train' away.
• We all known that 4Kids is famous for screwing everything up, so the fact that the American dub is actually considered pretty good is damn well impressive!
• After Mars demonstrated that the Kinniku Buster is flawed, Mantarou showed his own skill as a wrestler by inventing a reversed version of it, and then creates what would become his own true finishing move, the Muscle Millennium.
• Whenever Mantaro and Kevin Mask's Tag Finishing Move, the NIKU->LAP which is a combination of Mantaro's Kinniku Buster and Kevin's OLAP, is used. This move was used to defeat Voltman and Thunder.
• The ending result of the Ultimate Choujin Tag Tournament Finals. Here's a question: What happens if you get a combination of Mantaro's Ataru-editon Muscle Spark and Kevin's Big Ben Edge? The answer: MUSCLE KINGDOM!
• Mantarou winning against Kinnikuman with one of his old man's own finishing moves: The Kinniku Driver.
• Gazellman/ Dik Dik Van Dik gets his only onscreen victory against Puripuri Man/Monsieur Cheeks. He tries to take it in stride, but his friends are in tears.
  • Earlier, Checkmate is so disgusted by the villains ganging up on Dik Dik that he steps in an pulverizes Monsieur Cheeks himself, but leaves him in good enough shape for Dik Dik to finish off. As he isn't a participant in the tournament, he's not breaking the rules by stepping in.
• Mantaro vs. Baron Maximillion.
  • Features a noticeable Animation Bump that drives home the intimidation of the Baron's increasingly beefy transformations, as well as brutality of the beatdown her lays on Mantaro.^note If not for 4-Kids uncancelling the show, this would have been the last fight in the series.
  • The Baron Wasteland finishing move. Maximillion holds his opponent over his shoulders and basically becomes a tornado, spinning them into the sky before slamming them back onto the matt with his hulking body on top of them.
  • The Muscle Millennium Mantaro uses to win is so strong it bursts the ropes and smashes the Baron through the side of Mt. Fuji. Filler or not, it's a great match.
