| 7 | |
| 8 | The pig that was mistaken for Kinnikuman, and raised on planet Kinniku in place of Sugar. Around the time of the series, he had grown into a heavyweight champion and took over the planet by defeating the Mayumi in wrestling. |
| 9 | ---- |
| 10 | * TheAce: By the time the series had begun, he had won the championships in Wrestling, Boxing, and Judo. |
| 11 | * DeusExMachina: How he was beaten at all. None of the Kinnikus could beat him, but, lo and behold! The butcher he ran away from just happens to be in the stadium. |
| 12 | * MeaningfulName: ''ton'' means pork. |
| 13 | * MeaninglessVillainVictory: He treats Kinnikuman to a CurbStompBattle thrice over, but can't enjoy his victory as the butcher he escaped from years ago showed up at that moment, forcing him to run away again. |
| 14 | * OnlyKnownByHisNickname: According to the butcher, King Ton's real name is Ikue. |
| 15 | * PigMan: He was a normal pig but due to being raised on planet Kinniku, he would become more anthropomorphic. |
| 16 | * PrinceAndPauper: Spoofed; Suguru was so ugly as a baby that when the pig showed up on the royal Kinniku family's ship, Suguru was the one who was thrown out! And the pig would be raised into an excellent fighter while for a long time, Suguru would be an incompetent fighter. After King Ton ran away, Suguru would spend years trying to re-earn his heritage. |
| 17 | * StarterVillain: ''THE'' first major threat Kinnikuman was tasked to defeat. After running away, he was never seen again. |
| 18 | * TheUsurper: Took over Planet Kinniku by beating Mayumi in combat. |

| 21 | !!Kinkotsuman ([[DubNameChange Skullduggery in US]]) |
| 22 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin_kinkotsuman.png]] |
| 23 | ->Voiced by: Creator/IsseiFutamata (original series & movies), Creator/HideyukiHori (Nisei) |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:In Nisei, it's revealed that whenever Kinkotsuman wasn't watching the Justice Choujin fight against the villains of the arc, he was venting his frustrations at his failures on his son, Bone Cold (who was very timid at the time). Said way to vent was to put Bone Cold through [[TrainingFromHell harsh training]], which caused much resentment towards him.]] |
| 26 | * AdaptationExpansion: A lot of the anime's filler involve Kinkotsuman's antics, whereas in the manga he barely appeared at all. |
| 27 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:He feels very guilty of what he did and tries to make amends, but Bone tells him it's a little late to do that.]] |
| 28 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler:The training ensured that Bone Cold became a lethally competent fighter, a sadistic assassin in the underground and he hated Kinkotsuman with every fiber of his being. It also made him one of the most, if not the most viciously effective HeroKiller choujin in the series, which caused arguably the biggest tragedy to the Muscle League at the point.]] |
| 29 | * BigBadWannabe: You'd have to be pretty weak to have to rely on guns and giant monsters instead of using wrestling moves in this universe. Despite being an ArchNemesis to Suguru, he's nowhere in the same league as most of the villains, let alone [[BigBad Big Bads]] like Akuma Shogun and Super Phoenix. |
| 30 | * CampStraight: Acts very flamboyant, but he has a wife and son, [[spoiler: the latter of whom became a ruthless assassin and effective HeroKiller in his own right due to his abuse]]. |
| 31 | * DemBones: To Kinnikuman's muscles. |
| 32 | * EvilCounterpart: As much as a villain as Kinnikuman was a hero. |
| 33 | * EvilLaugh: --> ''Mu-hyo-hyo-hyo-hyo!~'' |
| 34 | * FacialMarkings: Has the kanji éŖØ (''kotsu''), meaning "bone," on his forehead. |
| 35 | * FinishingMove: He had none in the actual series, but in the video games he had the Shooting Lucky Strike, which was just to simply shoot the opponent with a blade, much like his son's finisher. |
| 36 | * HarmlessVillain: As the CerebusSyndrome hit, he became less and less intimidating; becoming a SitcomArchNemesis to Kinnikuman and eventually fading into the background. |
| 37 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain - Kinkotsuman and Iwao are complete losers, plain and simple. Before the CerebusSyndrome set in however, they somewhat subverted the trope because Kinnikuman was just as big a loser. |
| 38 | * KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Kinkotsuman's real name, SharƩkoubƩ, was only stated in his first appearance. Every other time he's referred to as Kinkotsuman. |
| 39 | * MadScientist: Has created a plethora of gadgets to use against Kinnikuman, as well as the Black Shadow robot. |
| 40 | * MeaningfulName: "''Kinkotsu''" means "bone and sinew," or, roughly, "skin and bones," the [[EvilCounterpart opposite of]] ''kinniku''. |
| 41 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: His abuse of his son, which later made him into the galaxy's best assassin]] has done more harm to Muscle League than anything he's done himself. |
| 42 | * [[SecretlyWealthy Secretly]] [[ModestRoyalty Royalty]]: It's easy to forget that he's a prince just like Kinnikuman. |
| 43 | * SitcomArchNemesis: After going through some serious VillainDecay, he mainly spends his time foiling Kinnikuman's attempts to succeed, but nothing too major. |
| 44 | * VillainDecay / VillainForgotToLevelGrind: He started out fairly menacing, but as Kinnikuman and the series got more serious, he, well, ''didn't''. |
| 45 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart |
| 46 | |
| 47 | !!Iwao |

| 50 | ---- |
| 51 | * ButtMonkey: Makes Kinkotsuman look competent, but is even more of a loser than him. |
| 52 | * TheDragon: To Kinkotsuman pre-CerebusSyndrome. |
| 53 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: How ineffectual is he? Kinnikuman [[CurbstompBattle beats him easily]] in his first appearance, and he was only doing it to impress a reporter. Ever since then, Iwao's been an IronButtMonkey. |
| 54 | * IronButtMonkey: Kinkotsuman may not catch a break often, but Iwao never gets a time when he isn't abused. |
| 55 | * RockMonster |
| 56 | * ServileSnarker: Being Kinkotsuman's sidekick doesn't stop him from taking an occasional jab at his boss. |
| 57 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In ''Anime/UltimateMuscle'', nothing is mentioned of his fate after the original series end, all we know is that Kinkotsuman is completely alone at that point. |

| 65 | ---- |
| 66 | %%* BaldOfEvil |
| 67 | * TheDragon: Technically, he works for Sheik Seijin. Actually, he's the main villain of the American Tour arc. |
| 68 | ** DragonInChief: And therefore more threatening and powerful than him. |
| 69 | * EvilGenius: He relied more on scheming and dirty tricks to bring down his enemies in the American Tour arc. |
| 70 | * HeelFaceTurn: Implied. He pretty much disappears after the American Tournament arc, but by his next appearance in the Scramble for the Kinniku Throne arc he shows up along with all the Idol Choujin to cheer for Kinnikuman in his fight against Super Phoenix. |
| 71 | * IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: In the American Tournament arc, the World Choujin Federation suspect African-American southerner "Channelman" (Kinnikuman in disguise in order to infiltrate their organization) of being Kinnikuman, Skull Bozu put out a picture of Mayumi for him to stomp, as part of a test to prove that he was not. This is subverted because "Channelman"... gladly stomps on the photo, to which Meat silently remarks that this sort of test is easy for Kinnikuman, who has the least respect for his father. |
| 72 | ** Played straight with his partner Devil Magician's condition for joining: bring in the severed head of a heroic Choujin. Two of the applicants try to fake it and are kicked out, while Devil Magician passes by bringing the head of a rival company's former champion. |
| 73 | * ManipulativeBastard: Even his ''boss'' Sheik Seijin is frightened at Skull's plans. |
| 74 | * SpikesofVillainy: Can grow spikes all over his body, except his head. |
| 75 | * TattooedCrook: He has them all over his body. |

| 113 | ->Voiced by: Creator/IsseiFutamata (original series), Creator/TetsuyaKakihara (Perfect Origin arc) |
| 114 | ---- |
| 115 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Gets a short manga series based on Deep of Muscle Episode 22 with Sneagator, where Sneagator teaches him how to use his recordings properly. |
| 116 | * DittoFighter[=/=]PowerCopying: His fighting style involves using tapes of recordings of other Choujin in order to perfectly imitate their fighting styles and techniques. In the 2012 manga, he gains a new collection of Choujin tapes, including Neptuneman, Mammothman, Kinnikuman Zebra, and Warsman's techniques. |
| 117 | * FinishingMove: Thanks to being a DittoFighter he can use the finishing move of anyone he's taped. His own finishers are Hell's Symphony and Symphony of the Devil. He created the latter on the spot in his fight against Kinnikuman, after he realized that Kin's mask acted as a sound barrier. |
| 118 | * TheGimmick: Almost all of his attacks revolve around him copying other wrestlers moves with his cassette tapes. Sneagator realizes that gimmick causes Stecasse King to have an ego trip and resolves to fix that problem. In fact, this gimmick causes Stecasse King to not change into whatever he's copying and change into a version that is just happy to pull off their finishers. |
| 119 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ultimately loses his fight when he uses a tape of Kinnikuman... from three years prior, during his LoserProtagonist days. |
| 120 | ** In Deep of Muscle Episode 22, Sneagator was able to break out of Stecasse King's copied Pallo Special because he was able to exploit Stecasse King's arrogance. |
| 121 | ** Seven years later, he suffers the same fate, for different reasons: [[spoiler: He ends up using Warsman's Palo Special on Turboman, which lets Turboman activate Earth Unit and transfer the damage to him, eventually killing him.]] |
| 122 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Marui Kasetto Dai Henshin". |
| 123 | * KnightOfCerebus: He's the weakest member but does enough damage to Kinnikuman to leave him hospitalized. This confirms that the Devil Choujin aren't screwing around. |
| 124 | * LoudOfWar: His own finishers are definitely this. |
| 125 | * SoLastSeason: He was actually dominating his match with Kinnikuman until he used his tape of Kin to ironically defeat him with his own moves. He forgot to take into how his opponent TookALevelInBadass in between that cassette being recorded. |
| 126 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Served as this for Kinnikuman. |
| 127 | * WickedCultured: He uses classical music for his Devil's Symphony, such as Beethoven's FĆ¼r Elise, suggesting he enjoys classical music. |

| 133 | * TheBermudaTriangle: According to Deep of Muscle, Black Hole's clan is responsible for dissappearances around the Bermuda Triangle. |
| 134 | * CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler: He [[GoForTheEye pokes Jack Tea's eyes]], and [[GroinAttack kicks his groin]] immediately after. Buffaloman and Springman justify his actions, being true to the nature of a Devil Choujin.]] |
| 135 | * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler: Defied. He uses his Red Mantle of Death attack to interrupt Dalmatiman's post-defeat suicide and kill him himself. He later tries this on Jack Tea, but it does not work.]] |
| 136 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: |
| 137 | -->"So why do I have a hole in my face? Read my name, ''Black Hole!''" |
| 138 | * TheFaceless: Literally has no face. |
| 139 | * FinishingMove: [[spoiler: Four Dimension Kill, introduced in the Revival manga.]] |
| 140 | * GenreSavvy: In his fight, he knew better than to go easy on Kinnikuman because he's winning, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall due to being an avid reader of the manga]]. For a non-Fourth Wall Breaking example in that same fight, he convinced Kinnikuman that he had given him an advantage by making sure that the ring was surrounded by a solar panel. In reality, it was Black Hole who had the advantage because the light from the sun would allow him to manipulate the shadows formed. |
| 141 | * GravitySucks: His name ''is'' Black Hole''. |
| 142 | * HumanoidAbomination: He's able to turn into a shadow, and multiply himself using light, and his body is also a gateway to another dimension that affects reality itself, as injuries he sustain will function as holes and he's also able to send people to other places on earth using himself as a portal. |
| 143 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Bermuda Mystery" |
| 144 | * LivingShadow: Becomes this during his fight against Kinnikuman. |
| 145 | * SquishyWizard: Sort of. The guy can create black holes and manipulate shadows, but an elbow drop was all Kinnikuman needed to defeat him. [[spoiler: Averted in the 2012 revival, where he takes a massive amount of punishment from Dalmatiman and Jack Tea's respetive matches, and still wins both.]] |
| 146 | * StartOfDarkness: Deep of Muscle's Episode 9 covers how Black Hole was motivated to become a Devil Chojin. It was to obtain enough power. For Black Hole, MightMakesRight. |

| 152 | ---- |
| 153 | * EvilGenius: He's the man that the other Devil Choujin go to to confirm the probability of victory. |
| 154 | * FinishingMove: "Mummy Package", probably the most disturbing finisher in the whole series. |
| 155 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His usage of Mummy Package against Crushman doesn't end well when he realizes he's dealing with a Robo Choujin.]] |
| 156 | * ImAHumanitarian: Takes a bite out of Brocken Jr's shoulder, and later tries to suck out his innards. |
| 157 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Farao no Noroi" ("The Pharaoh's Curse") |
| 158 | * MaskOfPower: Which he uses to hide his fangs. |
| 159 | * NinjaPirateRobotZombie: An ancient Egyptian Pseudosatanist Wrestler who has attributes of both a mummy and a vampire alongside of having seemingly magical abilities. |
| 160 | * {{Seers}}: Serves as this for the Seven Devil Choujin, as he predicts how the group would defeat Kinnikuman. However, he also predicts that five others would protect him. |
| 161 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The anime censors him accidentally using his Pharaoh's Curse on the referee by replacing said ref with Kinkotsuman, who is perfectly fine due to not having any flesh or blood for him to drain. |
| 162 | |
| 163 | !!The Mountain |

| 165 | ->Voiced by: Yonehiko Kitagawa (original series), Mitsuaki Kanuka (Perfect Origin arc) |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * BoringYetPractical: His finishing move is just a top-rope splash that is extremely dangerous due to him weighing a lot. The 2012 sequel also shows him doing Judo moves. |
| 168 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Twice, even. He tries to take Terryman [[spoiler: and Strong The Budo]] with him when he dies, making the ring collapse. |
| 169 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a mountain peak with arms and legs. |
| 170 | * FinishingMove: "Mountain Drop", which is a simple top-rope splash. He's a ''mountain'' though, so it's pretty nasty. |
| 171 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Jigoku no Sanmyaku" ("Mountains from Hell") |
| 172 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: Invokes this when Brocken Jr and Geronimo try to use Mongolman's spirit world door to help the Muscle Bros. fight the Devil Choujin spirits Sunshine and Ashuraman summon, similar to what happened during the Kinnikuman-Atlantis match. Mountain kicks them both out. |
| 173 | * MightyGlacier: His sheer size and mass makes him extremely slow, but he's extremely strong if he does catch someone. |
| 174 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: While it's romanized as "The Mountain", the name's actually written in Kanji, reading [=MaUnTen=], which roughly translates to [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "Demon from the Clouded Sky"]]. |

| 184 | * MakingASplash: He can control water no matter what form it's in, including blood. |
| 185 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Kills Marlinman with the Tower Bridge as he's being impaled by the latter's nose.]] |

| 193 | * BerserkButton: Mention Stecasse King in a mocking way [[spoiler: after his death]] and watch him go ''absolute apeshit'' on your ass. A lesson Turboman learned the hard way. |
| 194 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He has a, quite frankly, ridiculous design, being a spring with arms and legs as well as a face. Despite this, he gives Wolfman a horrible death by literally squeezing him into pieces. |
| 195 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Stecasse King, his closest friend among the Devils. [[spoiler: Turboman killing Stecasse King is the reason Springman is so adamant to fight him.]] |
| 196 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Like The Mountain, he's arms and legs stuck onto a spring. |
| 197 | * FacialMarkings: Has an S on his "forehead." |
| 198 | * FastballSpecial: Most, if not all, of his tag moves with Buffaloman involve him being launched in some manner by his much larger and more powerful partner, [[spoiler: with the exception of the Longhorn Train]]. |

| 220 | * FinishingMove: Hurricane Mixer, Hurricane Heat, Tomahawk Hurricane, Choujin Cross Slam, Longhorn Train (w/Ramenman [[spoiler: and Springman]]), and Hurricane Gigablaster [[spoiler:which he used against Ganman.]] |
| 221 | * FoeTossingCharge: His signature Hurricane Mixer move. |
| 222 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: One of the strangest plays on the trope ever. Thanks to his DealWithTheDevil, every time he defeats an enemy he gains a scar, which is weird enough. But the weirdest part is that they are ''living'' scars, which he can place on his enemies, which usually result in [[HighPressureBlood one thing]] happening to the victim. |
| 223 | * HeelFaceTurn: Befriended the Justice Chojin after his defeat in the Seven Devil Chojin arc. He also became a stern teacher in ''Anime/UltimateMuscle'', as well as a core member of the Muscle League. |
| 224 | ** It is later subverted in the 2012 revival. [[spoiler: He rejoins the Devil Chojin, [[NobleDemon but he still respects and trusts the Justice Chojin]], especially Suguru.]] |
| 225 | ** His HeelFaceRevolvingDoor gets deconstructed in his fight against [[spoiler:The One]]. [[spoiler:The One explains that joining each side from one to another affected his own potential due to his conflicting loyalty and he realizes now that Suguru will always consider him his friend.

| 229 | * LightningBruiser: He's got a 10 million power level, but not only is he fast enough to literally spin circles around his opponent with his "Tomahawk Hurricane" move, but he can also make himself faster by lowering his power level. |
| 230 | * MeteorMove: His "Buffalo Bomb" technique |
| 231 | * RetiredBadass: In ''Anime/UltimateMuscle'' |
| 232 | * TagTeam: 20 Million Powers (with Mongolman); Diabolos (with Springman) |
| 233 | * UnskilledButStrong: His schtick before his turn. He believed that enough power can overturn any technique. |
| 234 | ** [[spoiler: This might still be the case, as he overloaded the Earth Unit by having apparently more than ''80,000,000'' power via PowerOfFriendship. [[note]]: Kinnikuman's PowerLevel reached 79,000,000 at the end of the Throne Arc, making him more powerful than the protagonist for now[[/note]].]] |

| 241 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: With exception of Sunshine, each of the characters are shaped like their names suggest |

| 253 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin_sneagator.jpg]] |
| 254 | ->Voiced by: Creator/IsseiFutamata (original series) |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Sneagator gets a short manga series based on Deep of Muscle Episode 22 with Stereo Cassette King, where Sneagator teaches Stereo Cassette King how to use his recordings properly. |
| 257 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He was angered over Ganman using his eye powers to expose humans out of their lies. |
| 258 | * GenerationXerox: Played with. His son, Sneagator Jr., looks just like his humanoid reptile form, but was weak and sickly. His grandson, [=MAXman=] ([[DubNameChange The Pumpinator]]), looks pretty much like a normal human and only turns into a shoe. |
| 259 | * HealingFactor: In his true form, he can regenerate his limbs. |
| 260 | * HollywoodChameleons: Exaggerated with his chameleon form, as he literally becomes invisble. |
| 261 | * MeaningfulName: Yes, he is a sneaker-alligator hybrid. Who wears sneakers. And can transform into one. |
| 262 | * TheMentor: Served as the to the Seven Devil Choujin, regarding Buffaloman and Black Hole as his best students. When he is defeated by Ganman, he charges them with taking revenge for him. |
| 263 | * OneWingedAngel: His true form as a T-Rex foot counts as this. |
| 264 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He is a reptile choujin and fights as brutally as one as he resorts to chomping and shredding Kinnikuman in his crocodile and frilled lizard forms respectively |
| 265 | * RuleOfCool: The sole reason why he's able to use his frill like a rotor and not only fly around (even hovering in place!) but actually draw people near him with wind force. |
| 266 | * ScaledUp: Exaggerated. His entire gimmick is that he's able to shapeshift into various different reptiles, but also the foot of a T-Rex. |
| 267 | * TakingYouWithMe: Tries to do this after Kinnikuman kills him. He succeeds, but it's eventually all for naught thanks to Wolfman's HeroicSacrifice. |
| 268 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can turn into any type of reptile. He even has a rather profound quote regarding this trope in his book "Transformation Method": |
| 269 | -->''"Transformation is, essentially, being reborn. One casts off one's weak self and begins a new existence by acquiring a new, stronger self. If one can understand the reality of this deep secret, one becomes capable of navigating any adversity. That adaptability is the single strongest benefit of transformation."'' |
| 270 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Like Stecase King he's the weakest of the group, but puts Kinnikuman through more trouble than Buffaloman and establishes the threat level of the Devil Knights. To the point that for once, he succeeded in ''killing Kinnikuman'' despite losing! |
| 271 | |
| 272 | !!Planetman |
| 273 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin_planetman.jpg]] |
| 274 | ->Voiced by: Creator/HideyukiTanaka (original series) |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * CombatPragmatist: He strikes Kinnikuman with his Planet Ring immediately after he arrives in his ring |
| 277 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's the living embodiment of the Solar System |
| 278 | * FinishingMove: Grand Cross |
| 279 | * GravityMaster: Having Jupiter, the planet with the highest gravity in his body, he's able to gravitate anything towards him |
| 280 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He gets [[spoiler: [[OffWithHisHead decapitated by his own Planet Ring technique]] and then thrown into the same hole he made to his demise]]. |
| 281 | ** Twice in that his ThePowerOfTheSun technique is used against him |
| 282 | ** [[spoiler:He uses his Face Planet technique on Psychoman, channeling the deceased Large Numbers. This instead gets him royally pissed, and Planetman gets beaten down even harder.]] |
| 283 | * HollywoodVoodoo: When the fight against Kinnikuman goes bad, he links the planets on his body with Kin's loved ones. He almost gets away with it, but Warsman offers to take a hit. |
| 284 | * HumanShield: His Face Planet technique, where he channels the spirits of his opponent's allies. He uses to torment Kinnikuman into not attacking him, as he'd hurt his friends and family as well. [[TakeAThirdOption Kinnikuman figures he can just attack his face]], but see SadisticChoice below for how he responds to that... |
| 285 | * KickTheDog: His HollywoodVoodoo technique allows him to hurt any choujin from Earth's country and weaken them. |
| 286 | * AnIcePerson: By having the coldest planets as his legs, he's able to freeze his opponents |
| 287 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kyoufu no Wakusei Balkan" ("The Dreaded Planet Vulcan") |
| 288 | * KillItWithFire: By having the sun as one of his body parts, he has literally ThePowerOfTheSun. [[ShootingSuperman Kinnikuman's specialty is the Burning Inner Strength, so it doesn't work out well for him]]. |
| 289 | * OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: How Kinnikuman beats him, by luring him into his own Planet Ring technique, no less.]] |
| 290 | * SadisticChoice: Hit him and thus hurt the choujin via the country they represent or take a beating. He brings this up a notch with his "Face Planet" technique (see HumanShield above for details), and when Kinnikuman figures out he can just [[LoopholeAbuse hit his face]], reveals that he's wearing the [[MacGuffin Gold Mask]] there. |
| 291 | * TakenForGranite: He can turn his Planet Ring into a ring of rocks to projectile at his enemy |
| 292 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Not as egregious as Sneagator, but he's able to shift his body into a planetary alignment for his FinishingMove |

| 298 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He may have a really mundane character design, but he nearly killed Robin Mask and [[spoiler:defeated Painman by destroying his {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le body]]! |
| 299 | * GarbageWrestler: If the name is any indication... |
| 300 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How he fights, mostly. |
| 301 | * WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Played with, it looks like he's only able to attack with his bars with spikes for hands, but he's also able to grow spikes on his chest, a face in the back of his face and the the ability to rotate his arms to attack from behind. [[spoiler:He can also use them to heat up the arena around him in order to harm Painman.]] |

| 306 | ---- |
| 307 | * CombatPragmatist: He makes this into an art form, befitting of a ninja, as he uses various ninjutsu to gain unfair advantages over his opponents. |
| 308 | * FinishingMove: Binding Spider Web and the Waterfowl Feather Ring Jutsu |
| 309 | * HeelFaceTurn: He's the AloofAlly of the group, and one of the few to take training even in times of peace. |
| 310 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Japanese Magic" |
| 311 | * KilledOffForReal: By Hanzo in ''Anime/UltimateMuscle''. |
| 312 | * McNinja: In the dub of Ultimate Muscle, Ninja Ned is an American fan of ninjas. |
| 313 | * {{Ninja}}: It's true, I swear! |
| 314 | * PlayingWithFire: Similar to Planetman; he wields ThePowerOfTheSun, by shooting it out of his mouth, the difference is that he can conjure more than him. After his HeelFaceTurn, he upgrades it to a fire wheel. |
| 315 | * StartOfDarkness: Deep of Muscle's Episode 3 covers why The Ninja became a Devil Chojin in the first place. He was tempted by Satan after failing to protect everything he held dear to him. |
| 316 | * TheWorfEffect: Despite being a former Devil Knight, he gets beaten by Brocken Jr., Satan Cross and [[spoiler:Hanzo]]. Subverted in the 2012 series. [[spoiler:He defeats Crowman, but is no match for Psychoman later on. Granted, he was still carrying his injuries from the previous match. At the very least, he survived this.]] |

| 320 | ->Voiced by: Creator/MasaharuSato (original series & Nisei), Creator/JDavidBrimmer (English dub) |
| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * AdaptationalNationality: His profile in US ''Ultimate Muscle'' material lists him as "Living in Florida," a play off of Florida being nicknamed "The Sunshine State." His original profile lists him as being from Nazca, Peru. |
| 323 | * AffablyEvil: He believes in ThePowerOfFriendship, and politely asked if his opponent, Geronimo could help him back up, once he had been stuck in the ring mat. After the TimeSkip leading to ''Nisei'', he's a CoolOldGuy that happens to be an EvilMentor for the Dmp. |
| 324 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He's described as the boss of the Devil Knights by the Justice Choujin |
| 325 | * DentedIron: The intervening years haven't been kind to him either. He's noticeably thinner in ''Nisei'', not to mention the fact that he now wears an eyepatch. |
| 326 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Deep of Muscle reveals that he had a Brutal Chojin mentor in between Golden Mask and Dream Tag Tournament arcs. His name was Rollerman and he taught Sunshine the Desert Roller Dehydration Squeeze technique. When a group of Justice Chojin was about to execute Rollerman, Sunshine avenged him, but Rollerman passed away because of his wounds. As a result, Sunshine honored his memory with his Cursed Roller technique. |
| 327 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 328 | ** Sunshine hates the poor treatment given to Rollerman by the hypocritical mob of Justice Chojin. |
| 329 | -->"He has caused you a lot of trouble, I'm sure! But haven't you been the ones who have been driving him crazy and leaving him all alone? Then you're just as guilty as he is, aren't you? You can't understand how lonely he is.ā |
| 330 | ** He is appalled by the Perfect Choujin removing the masks of the Choujin that they defeat. |
| 331 | ** In ''Nisei'', he is disgusted when Checkmate elbows a boy. |
| 332 | -->"What kind of monster have I created? No matter how evil you get, you [[WouldNotHurtAChild never hit a child]]! I mean, sure, you make them do a few million sit-ups, or they don't get supper, but you never hit them!" |
| 333 | * EvilMentor: To Checkmate and Rex King. |
| 334 | * FinishingMove: Demon World Hell Tour ([[DubNameChange Blockin' Rockin' in US]]), Cursed Roller. |
| 335 | * FiveMovesOfDoom: The Demon World Hell Tour, which chains the Hell's Top, Hell's Pyramid, and Hell's Arch. |
| 336 | * FluffyTheTerrible: Come on. You can't really say that you expected him to be a golem with a name like Sunshine, can you? |
| 337 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Or rather, Friendship Makes You Evil. He says that the reason why he went back to being evil in ''Nisei'' was because it was the only time he had friends. |
| 338 | * GeniusBruiser: Relies on brute force to win like The Mountain, but he's not afraid to think when it's required of him. |
| 339 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Sand Monster" |
| 340 | * InformedAttribute: He's described as being the leader of the Devil Knights, but doesn't order them around. He even lets Ashuraman, who should be his subordinate, be the leader when they form the Stray Devil Choujin Combo. |
| 341 | * LightIsNotGood: His name means sunlight, but he's the strongest of the Devil Knights. |
| 342 | * NonIndicativeName: Despite the name, he's a sand golem and none of his moves involve the manipulation of sunlight. |
| 343 | * SandBlaster: He is composed entirely out of a golden sand like material which enables him to take on various forms, or he can just turn into a pit of quicksand. |
| 344 | * ShoutOut: Named after the Sunshine 60 building in Tokyo. |
| 345 | * TagTeam: Stray Devil Choujin Combo (with Ashuraman) |
| 346 | * TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:This happens to him temporarily during his fight with Thingman.]] |
| 347 | * VillainousBSOD: Goes into one due to ThePowerOfFriendship of Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Great/[[spoiler: Terryman]] were emitting. |
| 348 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can change into a top, a bridge, quick sand, and other things due to his body of golden sand. |

| 352 | ->Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeGori (original series) |
| 353 | ---- |
| 354 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Had a standard skin tone in the anime. |
| 355 | * AnimalMotifs: Akuma Shogun compares Ashuraman to a spider. Considering his six arms, two legs, giving him eight limbs, and how his first fight with Kinnikuman takes place on a web made of water, this isn't too far-fetched. |
| 356 | * AppendageAssimilation: Can use the limbs of Choujin he killed as replacements for any he's lost. As time goes on, it evolves to being able to use the limbs of dead allies without having killed them. This technique can also backfire on him, if the person whose limb he's using has a strong enough willpower to make the limb do what they want. |
| 357 | * AristocratsAreEvil: He's the son of the demon world's royal family. |
| 358 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler: In ''Nisei'', he becomes this in order to make for the murder of his son after being beaten by Mantaro.]] |
| 359 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Of ''Nisei's'' Demon Seed Arc.]] |
| 360 | * BlowYouAway: he can make tornadoes with his body by swiping his arms. |
| 361 | * BreakoutVillain: He wound up proving popular enough that he returned in the Dream Tag arc alongside Sunshine and then returned in the Five Fated Princes arc. [[spoiler:And also ended up becoming the main antagonist of the Demon Seed arc.]] |
| 362 | * BrokenAce: He has all the advantages you'd get from having six arms instead of two and the strength and technique to back it up, not to mention his own equivalent of Kinnikuman's Burning Inner Strength in the form of his Underworld Inner Strength, but he also is incredibly lonely and pessimistic to the point where he's forgotten about things like love and friendship as well as being so unfamiliar with crying that he's confused when Sunshine saves his life and tells him he values his life because he's his friend. |
| 363 | * CosmicPlayThing: The universe seems to want him to suffer, he's got a crappy childhood, lost his best friend when he went on a HeelFaceTurn, forced to fight his teacher [[spoiler: and in ''Anime/UltimateMuscle'', he's not even allowed his own happiness as he loses his wife to his son, who he is forced to kill in order to prevent him going a rampage]] |
| 364 | * DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: His killing of his son was the last straw, and went back to being evil again]] |
| 365 | * EvilCounterpart: He seemed to be this for Kinnikuman in a way (both were princes representing their respective factions) right down to having his own version of Kinnikuman's then signature move (albeit one that was harder to escape because he also grabbed the opponent's arms and thighs as well as the calves). |
| 366 | * EvilLaugh[=/=]SignatureLaugh: Ka~ ka ka ka ka! |
| 367 | * FinishingMove: All variations of the Ashura Buster and the Izuna Drop. |
| 368 | * HeelFaceTurn: He does this during the Throne Arc, [[spoiler: it soon becomes one of the most tragic deconstructions of this trope ever]] |
| 369 | * AnIcePerson: By combining water particles with ash, he can make ice and a blizzard during his match with Kinnikuman. |
| 370 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Ashura no Jigoku" ("Ashura Hell") |
| 371 | * MakingASplash: makes a web of water for match with Kinnikuman, and shoots out a streams of water to grab the ring, in order to prevent him from falling. |
| 372 | * MaskPower: Has three masks--Laughing, his default; Cold-Blooded, which seems to enable him to manipulate wind; and Enraged, which makes him incredibly brutal. His true face is his crying face on all three faces, apparently. |
| 373 | * MultiarmedAndDangerous: Due to his six arms, he's got more grappling power than a regular choujin |
| 374 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In ''Nisei'', his HeelFaceTurn leads him to abandon his only friend [[spoiler: and forcing him to kill his own son in order to protect the world from his growing sociopathic nature]] |
| 375 | * SerialEscalation: The Ashura Buster is an improved version of the Kinniku Buster wherein Ashuraman also holds on to the opponent's arms and thighs as well as the calves, and there are further improvements on this move. There is one variation in which he holds the opponent's arms, legs, and head (instead of arms, legs, and thighs), and one in which he does the normal Ashura Buster but also holds on to the opponent's neck (which is the weak link in even the normal Ashura Buster, let alone the Kinniku Buster). There's also the Blood Unit Ashura Buster, a version of the Ashura Buster done with the arms of his fallen comrades. Of course in Nisei there was also the [[spoiler:Ultimate Ashura Buster which is like Scarface's own finishing move with his legs around his opponent's neck while in position]]. Another version is his Izuna Otoshi--he has a normal version (representing an "8"), and an enhanced version in which he renders it horizontal, slamming into a wall (representing an infinity symbol). |
| 376 | * TagTeam: Stray Devil Choujin Combo (with Sunshine) |
| 377 | * TraumaCongaLine: Firstly, his AbusiveParents forced into his mind that friendship was meaningless to make him into a lethal killing machine, his HeelFaceTurn involves him abandoning his one and only friend Sunshine, he's forced to fight his teacher and that's not even getting into ''Anime/UltimateMuscle'' [[spoiler: where he's forced to kill his own son who was becoming a sociopath after the latter killed his wife.]] |
| 378 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: It's a shame that he had to be raised by parents like his... |
| 379 | * VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:Shows up to cheer on Satan Cross/Samson Teacher during his match against The Natural.]] |
| 380 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The sheer crap he's gone throughout the series makes you want to feel sorry for him. |
| 381 | * TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:Justiceman completely destroyed him with basic yet devastating moves. His own FinishingMove was so breaking it is reduced Ashuraman with his faces and ''all of his arms'' in pieces! At the very least, it is later shown that he somehow survived the whole ordeal.]] |
| 382 | * TookALevelInBadass: And HOW. He goes from his Worf Effect fight to a [[spoiler: tag team match with Sunshine against two Choushin, one of which killed his teacher. After getting some help to cool down from Sunshine, the two of them handily beat The Natural even if it costs Sunshine's life. Asuraman then shows a new level of power and, with his allies' limbs replacing his own, matches The Berserker blow for blow! It all ends with him using a powerful Asura Buster using his allies' arms to make it inescapable. His last appearaance was him choosing to train under The One, so time will only tell how many more levels he takes before he fights again.]] |
| 383 | * YankTheDogsChain: Seriously, after his HeelFaceTurn, he immediately has his faces torn off, the teacher who taught him about morality and decency- has to fight him since he's on the BigBad's QuirkyMiniBossSquad. In ''Nisei'', his own family [[spoiler: nah, your son turns into a sociopath who kills your wife after seeing your hidden room of your past; leading you to kill him]], your best friend, you're good now and since he doesn't believe in becoming a Justice Choujin, you have to break your friendship. The only good thing that came out of his misery [[spoiler: is that he's friends with Sunshine again]] |

| 390 | * AchillesHeel: His head is the only body part that can feel pain. |
| 391 | * AllYourPowersCombined: His body is made up of the rest of the Devil Knights. When he first appears, he claims to have Sunshine's power, Planetman's speed, The Ninja's technique, Sneagator's body, and Junkman's cruelty. |
| 392 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: To All Devil Choujin |
| 393 | * BadBoss: His tag team special in the video games, "The Devil's Essence," involves him throwing his tag partner onto the enemy tag team and then performing a diving headbutt on all three wrestlers. |

| 399 | * TheDreaded: Even after he was defeated, he is still feared especially by Suguru is still traumatized from fighting him due to not able to defeat his signature moves. [[spoiler:When Goldman returns to fight the Perfect Origin, Suguru is ''relieved'' that he's not the target.]] |
| 400 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: His VillainousBreakdown involves not understanding ThePowerOfFriendship, thus leading to his defeat |
| 401 | * FinishingMove: Hell's Guillotine [[spoiler:as a Devil Choujin. His true form of said finisher which he used to defeat The Man is The God's Guillotine that would be his Perfect First FinishingMove.]] |
| 402 | * FiveMovesOfDoom: He ups the ante with a nine-part finisher designed to sequentially seal every point of Choujin powerāthe next to last part rendering the victim unable to move and the final part killing him. |
| 403 | * HealingFactor: even if he is shattered into pieces, he can easily resemble himself. |
| 404 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "King of Devil" |
| 405 | * InvincibleVillain: He's {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le, has a HealingFactor to regenerate himself, does not feel pain and is a literal PhysicalGod, in fact most of the fight was very one-sided on his favor and only a BigDamnHeroes moment from Buffaloman of all people made Kinnikuman be able to get an advantage over him. |
| 406 | * {{Jerkass}}: he kills Ashuraman just for losing even though he defeated a move that could potentially harm him, has the choujins in the life capsules support the ring just so that he crush them along with Kinnikuman [[spoiler: and using the powers of {{Satan}} to kill his own brother]] |
| 407 | * LackOfEmpathy: his response to Ashuraman's defeat even though he had defeated the Kinniku Buster, was to cut off his head and say that he didn't like that he lost in the first place. |
| 408 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's the second largest below Sunshine in the group |
| 409 | * MalevolentMaskedMan |
| 410 | * MaskOfPower: Wears a horned shiny one over [[spoiler:his true face at Goldman]] |
| 411 | * NighInvulnerability: He uses at least seven out of the nine forms of the trope in the fight with Kinnikuman, who goes through ''hell'' trying to damage him |
| 412 | ** He has no real body and thus can have attacks phase through him. |
| 413 | ** He's able to shift his body's hardness from silver to copper to iron to opal to emerald to sapphire and finally to diamond, which has the highest level of defense. [[spoiler:In his fight against The Man, who is a fellow god, had to use an upgraded form of his Diamond Power known as Lonsdaleite Power when he was pushed in a corner. He even survives The Man's FinishingMove twice.]] |
| 414 | * NobleDemon: [[spoiler:In the 2012 manga, he honors Mirageman and Abyssman as WorthyOpponents after defeating them for their dumbbells. To the point that he referred to himself as ''Goldman''.]] |
| 415 | * OneManArmy: Literally as his body is made from the parts of the Six Devil Knights |
| 416 | * TheParagonAlwaysRebels: As seen in the 2012 revival. [[spoiler: As Goldman, Akuma Shogun was the first and most powerful of the Perfect Origin, to the extent that The Man regarded him as the only one who truly understood what their purpose was.]] |
| 417 | * PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:Akuma Shogun is Goldman, the Choujin god of war who made a DealWithTheDevil for which he received the Devil Knights as his literal and figurative body.]] |
| 418 | * RubberMan: Due to being a soft bodied choujin, he's able to slip through the tiniest spaces and be extremely flexible in Hardness Level 1. |
| 419 | * SmugSuper: He holds himself as a god [[spoiler: because he really is one]], and believes that Kinnikuman is way too inferior to him. [[spoiler:This changed in 2012 manga when he acknowledges Kinnikuman as being far stronger than back then to the point he honor his wish to spare The Man.]] |

| 426 | !Perfect Choujin |
| 427 | * AboveGoodAndEvil: They believe they're above all the battle of good and evil. In truth, they're arguably worse than both Brutal and Devil Choujin in their treatment of others. It's eventually subverted in that Big the Budo/[[spoiler: Neptune King]] is just the TokenEvilTeammate of the group who influenced other liked minded individuals to follow suit. |
| 428 | * BigBadEnsemble: Along with the remaining Devil Choujins who are more of TheHeavy as their actions shape up the Tag Tournament Arc, these guys serve as an additional group for the Justice Choujin to fight. |
| 429 | * CombatPragmatist: They aren't above ambushing their opponents and using other dirty tactics to win a fight. Though they ''do'' have a code of honor that forbids showing your back to your opponent or using any weapons, only [[TheOnlyBeliever Neptuneman]] actually adheres to it. |
| 430 | * FantasticRacism: They look down on both Justice and Devil Choujin and believe they don't deserve to wear masks. |
| 431 | * {{Hypocrite}}: The Perfect Choujin state that to be one, you're supposed to be neither good or evil and lack any sort of emotion. Kendaman was a snickering, arrogant bastard, Neptuneman was a [[LargeHam hammy]], dog-kicking BloodKnight and Big The Budo[=/=][[spoiler:Neptune King]] was just like Neptuneman. The only Perfect Choujin that exemplifies what a Perfect Choujin is was Screw Kid, and he too [[VillainousBreakdown shows]] [[NotSoStoic some emotion]] when he loses, since "losing a match" is synonymous with "death penalty" to the Perfect Choujin. Even further, [[GoodOldFisticuffs their own code of honor forbids the use of weapons]], yet Kendaman, Screw Kid, and Big The Budo resort to using shards of glass and the ring post on their opponents when they start losing. |

| 435 | ->Voiced by: Creator/KanetoShiozawa (original series) |
| 436 | ---- |
| 437 | * FinishingMove: Four Point Screw Torture, ''Jigoku no Nejimawashi''/Hell's Screwdriver is his Tag finisher with Kendaman. |
| 438 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kyoufu no Kaiten Drill" ("The Dreaded Spinning Drill") |
| 439 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: His basic style. Kendaman adds his weight for increased pain. |
| 440 | * ThisIsADrill: This is his entire "thing": even his ImageSong revolves around this. |
| 441 | * VillainousBreakdown: He gets scared shitless once he and Kendaman lose to Mongolman and Buffaloman, due to the fact that losing a match as a Perfect Choujin is equivalent to the death penalty. |
| 442 | |
| 443 | !!Kendaman ([[DubNameChange Mace in US]]) |
| 444 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin_kenda.jpg]] |
| 445 | ->Voiced by: Creator/MasashiHirose (original series) |
| 446 | ---- |
| 447 | * EpicFlail: His ''head''. No, seriously. |
| 448 | * EvilLaugh: Next to Ashuraman, his evil laugh is the most memorable. Mostly because his laugh sound like he's ''stuttering'' and that it's goddamn awesome. |
| 449 | * {{Expy}}[=/=]SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The music for his ImageSong sounds like a slightly altered version of Screw Kid's. |
| 450 | * FinishingMove: Kendaman Headbutt. |
| 451 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Kiken da Kiken da Kendaman" ("Danger! Danger! Kendaman!") |
| 452 | * UseYourHead: Literally, since his head is a wrecking ball |

| 454 | !!Neptuneman |
| 455 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neptuneman_9.jpg]] |
| 456 | ->Voiced by: Kazuhiko Kishino (original series) |
| 457 | ---- |
| 458 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His red vest was colored green in the anime and the mask as silver instead of red as well. Also, Kinnikuman Generations ([[DubNameChange Galactic Wrestling Featuring Ultimate Muscle]]) gave his Kenkaman character brown hair, probably to keep him from looking exactly like Wrestling/HulkHogan. |
| 459 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Holds his skills higher than everyone else's thus looks down on his opponents |
| 460 | * BloodKnight: He only fights to find a WorthyOpponent rather than for honor, which led him to serve under Big The Budo |
| 461 | * BossSubtitles: Formerly [[spoiler:"Perfect Hunter" of the Perfect Large Numbers.]] |
| 462 | * BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: In their match Kinnikuman closes the Apollo Window, the phenomena that gives him(Neptuneman) and Big the Budo their MaskPower.]] |
| 463 | * CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Neptuneman is this for Kenkaman ([[DubNameChange Street Scrapper in US]]). Later, he disguises himself as [[spoiler: The Samurai.]] |
| 464 | * {{Expy}}: Of Wrestling/HulkHogan |
| 465 | * FinishingMove: Quarrel Bomber, Quarrel Special, Double Leg Suplex, Cross Bomber (Tag), Mask The End (Tag), Magnetic Storm Crash (Tag), Optical Fiber Cross Bomber (Tag), Cross Enzui, Ganryu Island Drop, [[spoiler: Quarrel Special Noveau, Turnover Quarrel Cross-Bomber,]] and Rainbow Suplex (Tag [[spoiler: with Kinnikuman]]) |
| 466 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He can't seem to stop switching sides in order to find a WorthyOpponent. In the years before the original series he was a good guy who made a FaceHeelTurn, then he makes a HeelFaceTurn after Kin and Terry defeat him and Big the Budo. Played with in the 2012 manga when he was turned on by Strong The Budo who is [[spoiler:The Man]] and yet cheers for Nemesis against Kinnikuman even after motivating the latter to take him on in an honorable fight. He helps out the Real Deals when fighting the Choushin. Then he makes ''another'' FaceHeelTurn in Nisei. |
| 467 | ** The Nisei turn is where this nature of his is heavily deconstructed. In the world of Nisei, he was only a Perfect Choujin for 4 years. Even though he spent most of the time jump between Nisei and the original series in seclusion, he was technically a Justice Choujin during that time. Lightning points out that deep down inside, even though he's trying to act like a Perfect Choujin, he has Justice Choujin views deep down inside. This is proven because Neptuneman goes out of his way to save his partner, Mammothman, twice. Once this revelation is shown, the disillusioned Mammothman leaves Neptuneman with a completely destroyed arm and at the mercy of the Five Disasters. Despite all his attempts to be a Heel during the Ultimate Tag, he was still a Face deep down. |
| 468 | ** This gets reconstructed a bit in Revival. While still a Perfect Choujin, he wants to help the Perfect Choujin change for the better. [[spoiler: He explains to Kinnikuman that he wants Kinnikuman to beat Nemesis to get Nemesis to realize he's being hardheaded. He respects Nemesis' skill as a Choujin and wants Nemesis to be there for the next stage of Perfect Choujin, with Neptuneman wanting to use some Justice Choujin ideals to make said Perfect Choujin stronger.]] |
| 469 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of the Choujin Dream Tag arc.]] |
| 470 | * ImageSong[=/=]{{Leitmotif}}: "Mukan no Teiou" ("Uncrowned Emperor") |
| 471 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He can do this with the spikes on his vest. He also does this during Ultimate Tag, by Quarrel Bombing a Choujin so hard they impale another Choujin. |
| 472 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: In Kinnikuman Nisei. [[spoiler: Neptuneman has a heart defect. Good thing Warsman know the cure to his disease.]] |
| 473 | * MaskPower: Literally, his mask gives him magnetic control. |
| 474 | * TheOnlyBeliever: The only Perfect Chojin among Neptune King's group that actually takes the Perfect Chojin's code seriously. |
| 475 | * OlderThanHeLooks: In Nisei he doesn't look so much different, Kinnikuman and the others are forgiven in mistaking Neptuneman in the future for the one in their time. The only real tell he has is his body seems to be more polished, but the only sign of his age is a barely changed hairline. |
| 476 | * ShockAndAwe: Due to his highly magnetized mask, he can conjure electricity to make lightning bolts |
| 477 | * SmugSuper: You thought Akuma Shogun was smug, this guy takes it up a notch, even before his FaceHeelTurn he considered Robin Mask inferior just by grappling with him, deciding it'd be his victory. Becoming a Perfect Choujin just made it worse. |
| 478 | * [[spoiler: StealthMentor]]: He of all people is this to Team Kinnikuman in their training against team Phoenix |
| 479 | * TagTeam: Hell Missionaries (with Big the Budo); [[spoiler: Ganryu Island Combo (with Kinnikuman)]]; Hell Expansions (with Seiuchin); Nova Hell Expansions (with Mammothman) |
| 480 | * VillainousBreakdown: Has this when he fails to unmask Kinnikuman in five minutes like he said he would (he wound up unmasking Terryman, who was disguised as Kinnikuman, instead). He has one in Nisei when Mammothman abandons him and even fails a tag move on purpose so it'll hurt Neptuneman more. |
| 481 | * WorthyOpponent: Desperately is looking for one. He seems to have found one in Kinnikuman, even by the time of Nisei where he's an old man, he views Kinnikuman with respect. He shows this by killing two Choujin who want to join him but insulted Kinnikuman. |
| 482 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: Chojin Enma sees Neptuneman's revival as this because Neptuneman has failed in his duty to protect and serve his leader. And so Enma sent the Omegaman to dispose of Neptuneman.]] |
| 483 | |
| 484 | !!Big The Budo ([[DubNameChange Big Budo in US]])/[[spoiler: Neptune King]] |

| 488 | * [[spoiler:BigBad]]: [[spoiler:The one really pulling the strings on the Dream Chojin Tag arc.]] |
| 489 | ** BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler:With Ashuraman while they were still evil]] |
| 490 | * BrokenPedestal: Became this for Neptuneman. When he takes out an ''iron girder'' to use in their fight against Kinnikuman and Terryman, Neptuneman does not take it well. |
| 491 | * CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Big the Budo is this for [[spoiler:Neptune King ([[DubNameChange Poseidon in US]]])]]. |
| 492 | * TheDragon: To Neptuneman [[spoiler: It's actually the other way around]] |
| 493 | * EvilOldFolks: Beneath is mask, he's so old he actually looks like a skeleton. |
| 494 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He wears a helmet associated with kendo which budo is based on, and is well big |
| 495 | * FatBastard: He's as big a jerk as he is big-bellied. |
| 496 | * FinishingMove: Megaton King Drop, Cross Bomber (Tag), Magnetic Storm Crash (Tag), Mask The End (Tag) |
| 497 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: DoubleSubverted. Neptune King was supposedly the founder of the Perfect Chojin, but he turns out to be not only alive and well but also just the TokenEvilTeammate of the real Perfect Chojin, however he later founds [[NebulousEvilOrganization the dMp alongside Sunshine,]] but by the time of ''Nisei'' he's been replaced by [[DraconicHumanoid Qilinman]] as the leader of the [=dMp=]'s Perfect Chojin.]] |
| 498 | * JerkAss: He's a dirty cheater who mocks his opponents. |
| 499 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's the bigger of the Perfect Don Duo, [[spoiler: he's also the real BigBad of the story.]] |
| 500 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: He's got [[SerialEscalation THREE]] of them |
| 501 | * ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: To Neptuneman]] |
| 502 | * MaskOfPower: He has [[SerialEscalation THREE]] and it can conjure lightning via magnetism |
| 503 | * NighInvulnerability[=/=]NoSell: [[spoiler:It took THREE supreme attacks to finally defeat him.]] |
| 504 | * NightmareFace: Under his mask, he's a withered up, looking like a skull. |
| 505 | * ShockAndAwe: Like Neptuneman, he can conjure lightning bolts via magnetic mask |
| 506 | * TagTeam: Hell Missionaries (with Neptuneman) |
| 507 | [[/folder]] |
| 508 | |
| 509 | [[folder:Survival Match For The Kinniku Throne]] |
| 510 | !Five Fated Princes |
| 511 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Within their own groups |
| 512 | * BigBadEnsemble: Due to the fact that Suguru has to fight them as a group which would normally make them a team, but each is on their own with their own motivations and QuirkyMiniBossSquad, qualifies them as this |
| 513 | ** While technically Super Phoenix is the BigBad for his [[TheHeavy his influence during the arc]], Big Body is actually the TokenGoodTeammate, [[spoiler: and Kinnikuman Solider is actually TheMole for the Kinniku family, as he is really Suguru's older brother]], they all serve as this to the arc |
| 514 | |
| 515 | * TheBusCameBack: They, with the exception of Kinnikuman Soldier, make a return in the True Devil Chojin arc. |
| 516 | * EvilCounterpart: All of them [[spoiler: except Ataru]] served as this for Suguru, especially Super Phoenix |
| 517 | * EvilVersusEvil: Since the Throne tourney was to find the next king for their own PuppetKing, it would've eventually happened |
| 518 | * RagsToRoyalty: Technically their intent. They certainly start out poor and want to ''be'' royalty by winning the Throne tournament. |
| 519 | |
| 520 | !!Kinnikuman Mariposa |
| 521 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mariposa_flip.jpg]] |
| 522 | * AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His new outfit as Kinnikuman Mariposa is a Luchador's outfit, complete with mask, due to Lucha Libre's reputation as a high-flying fighting style. |
| 523 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Believes he should steal the throne since it doesn't deserve Suguru. |
| 524 | * AnimalMotifs: Mariposa is Spanish for Moth and an image of moths is seen when he enters the ring. |
| 525 | * CombatPragmatist: He helps King 100 Ton in his one-on-one match with Terryman and uses a staff to enhance his powers. |
| 526 | * CoolMask: A Luchador one. |
| 527 | * FinishingMove: Aztec Drop, Phony Muscle Revenger [[spoiler:which is reworked into his very own Aztec Cemetery used to defeat Hailman.]] |
| 528 | * FreudianExcuse: Was very poor as a child, so he stole from other more fortunate families |
| 529 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Goes from a thief named George to a king candidate who nearly kills Robin Mask. He even kills one of the Six Spears. |
| 530 | * GratuitousSpanish: His name and techniques are Spanish. |
| 531 | * {{Greed}}: His FatalFlaw. |
| 532 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: |
| 533 | ** It is because he used the Muscle Revenger the wrong way, he was fried by a ray of light from the Finishing Hold Fresco as punishment. This leaves him defenseless for Robin Mask's FinishingMove Robin Special. |
| 534 | ** Figured out a way to use one of Hailman's finishing techniques as a way to set up his new finisher. |
| 535 | * KarmicThief: At least what he'd like to view himself as. |
| 536 | * PlayingWithFire: Thanks to Anoa Staff he stole from the Robin family. Even without the staff, Mariposa finds a way to set himself on fire during the match against Hailman. He builds up friction by repeatedly spinning against the corner post in the ring. [[spoiler:Even when that is taken away from him, Mariposa uses Hailman's finishing move to set himself on fire.]] |
| 537 | * RealMenWearPink: His outfit is very pink, but he nearly kills Robin and defeats Hailman. |
| 538 | * ScaryBlackMan: Has the darkest skin tone of the Five Fated Princes. |
| 539 | * StolenMacGuffinReveal: He had stolen the Anoa Staff which enhanced his power. |
| 540 | * StreetUrchin: Grew up as one, before becoming a king candidate. |
| 541 | * WorfEffect: [[spoiler:Gets dominated throughout his match against Papillionman despite the boost from the God of Flight.]] |
| 542 | |
| 543 | !!Kinnikuman Big Body |
| 544 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kin_big_body.jpg]] |
| 545 | * AdaptationExpansion: His fight with Super Phoenix was much less one sided in the anime. |
| 546 | ** AdaptationalBadass: He actually puts up an amazing fight against Super Phoenix before he went down, and some of his appearances in games give him a rather impressive display of moves, especially Muscle Grand Prix 2. |
| 547 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: In his group, as well as being the strongest of the Five Princes. |
| 548 | * BrainsEvilBrawnGood: He's the Brawn to Super Phoenix's Brains, by being the TokenGoodTeammate of the Five Fated Princes. This is the basis for their tag-team. |
| 549 | * TheBrute: The biggest and easiest of the Five Fated Princes to be taken down. |
| 550 | * CombinationAttack: [[spoiler:Puts aside his differences with Super Phoenix and pulls off the God Bless Revenger, a combination of his Maple Leaf Clutch and Super Phoenix's Muscle Revenger in the style of Muscle Docking, to defeat Ideaman and The Notorious.]] |
| 551 | * CoolMask: Arguably the coolest looking mask of the Five Fated Princes after Soldier's. |
| 552 | * CurbStompBattle: Super Phoenix beat him and his team in about 15 minutes. |
| 553 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's first seen yanking out a stump for a family that was struggling to get it out with a rope, showing that he has immense physical strength, but is also kind-hearted and gentle, and unlike the other Five Fated Princes, he doesn't show any angst or signs of discontentment with his life, showing that he might be simple-minded, but is able to appreciate what he already has in life. |
| 554 | * FinishingMove: Dragon Sleeper Backbreaker, Muscle Impact, Giant Swing, Maple Leaf Clutch and Big Body Tackle. |
| 555 | * ForcedIntoEvil: He really was! By his own admission, the Evil Gods forced him into entering as a candidate for the throne against his will. |
| 556 | * FriendToAllChildren: Was seen being admired by children before being turned into a candidate for the throne. |
| 557 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He was an outdoorsman before becoming a candidate for the throne. |
| 558 | * GentleGiant: Implied to be this outside of battle. |
| 559 | * GlassCannon: He's this in Muscle Grand Prix 2, as he's able to deal massive amounts of damage in a short amount of time, but also has some of the lowest health out of all the playable characters. |
| 560 | * InformedAbility: In the anime, he's implied to be the strongest of the Five Princes, although it's likely that it meant in terms of physical strength. |
| 561 | * LargeAndInCharge: The biggest of the Five Princes and the physically strongest of his group. |
| 562 | * ShouldersOfDoom: He Has shoulders pads as big as he is. |
| 563 | * SuperStrength: He was blessed by the Evil God of Strength so it's expected. |
| 564 | * TagTeam: God Selected (w/Kinnikuman Super Phoenix) |
| 565 | * TokenGoodTeammate: he's the only one of the Five Fated Princes who didn't want to usurp Kinnikuman's throne. During his match with Gear Master, Big Body revealed that his teammates truly cared about him, unlike the other Fated Princes. [[spoiler:He also sympathizes with Gear Master after he defeats him, and even unsuccessfully tries to save him after he gets crushed.]] |
| 566 | * TookALevelInBadass: Defeats Gear Master in his second match. At one point, Big Body even reverses the Muscle Revenger to show that he means business. [[spoiler:He also beats a Choushin tag-team with Kinnikuman Super Phoenix's help.]] |
| 567 | * TheWorfEffect: Loses to Super Phoenix just to show how strong he was. Gear Master brings this fact up during his match against Big Body in an attempt at riling him up. |
| 568 | |
| 569 | !!Kinnikuman Zebra |
| 570 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zebra_12.jpg]] |
| 571 | * AnimalMotifs: Kinnkuman Zebra hmm [[SarcasmMode I wonder what it could be]]? |
| 572 | * CallBack: During his match against Mariquitaman, Kinnikuman Zebra copies Suguru's Mephisto Punch counter to deflect Mariquitaman's punches right at him. |
| 573 | * CombatPragmatist: Once he dons black, he hides metal in his mask and hands to boost his lethalness |
| 574 | * CombinationAttack: To defeat El Kito and Dominator, Kinnikuman Zebra and Mariquitaman create a two-man version of the Muscle Inferno known as Synchronicity Inferno. |
| 575 | * DarkIsEvil: When donning the black as his main color, he becomes a brutal fighter |
| 576 | * TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: His choosing involved killing his best friend, leading him to become a greedy person |
| 577 | * DealWithTheDevil: What his chose for candidacy by killing his best friend amounted to |
| 578 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: Kinnikuman Mariposa feels that Mariquitaman and Kinnikuman Zebra are a perfect tag-team after their battle in the Omega Centauri's Six Spears arc, leaving the duo to form the Exocet Missiles. |

| 580 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Thanks to his past, he's utterly convinced that money is the key to power and friendship, and is utterly confounded when Kinnikuman's teammates turn down a bribe to switch sides |
| 581 | * EvilIsCool: [[invoked]] When Mariquitaman fights Kinnikuman Zebra, Mariquitaman prefers his Brutal Chojin personality over his Justice Chojin personality. As it turns out, the Brutal Chojin personality's fighting style is easier to predict than his Justice Chojin personality's fighting style. |
| 582 | * ExtremityExtremist: Averted. Despite specializing in boxing, he does have more attacks than punches. |
| 583 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Acts like a pretty nice and honorable fighter until Parthenon restores his true brutal nature |
| 584 | * FinishingMove: Muscle Inferno, Saint Muscle Punch |
| 585 | * FriendOrIdolDecision: Was told that he could enter the Choujin world if he killed his childhood friend (and only friend), Zebra Kid. |
| 586 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: He went from having to kill his only friend just to make it rich in the Choujin world to becoming a candidate for the throne. |
| 587 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Kinnikuman makes him get hit by his own Mephisto Punch. And then Zebra learned that counter in order to combat Mariquitaman |
| 588 | * IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: The Evil God of Technique asked him to kill his best friend in order to become a candidate for the throne |
| 589 | * JerkAss: Not nearly as much as Super Phoenix, but spends most of the throne match insulting the Kinniku team for their poor performance |
| 590 | * KilledOffForReal: Burned down to his bones to demonstrate Prism Man's power. |
| 591 | * LetsGetDangerous: Even before his dark side comes out, he didn't take Suguru seriously before, but winds up showing that he's not just a boxer with a fairly impressive combination of holds. |
| 592 | * MoneyDearBoy: He even paid his teammates to fight for him. |
| 593 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:After his defeat, he learns that Zebra Kid could have easily escaped the Muscle Inferno, but intentionally let himself get killed so that his best friend could live a better life. Kinnikuman Zebra's last words before fainting were begging Kid to forgive him. Mariquitaman's Rorschach Dot technique shows that he still cares about Kid.]] |
| 594 | * ThePowerOfHate: Relies on it to win |
| 595 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: In the anime |
| 596 | * SplitPersonality: His personality is divided into white {Justice} and black {Evil} and needs Parthenon to activate it. This mode can also be activated through Mariquitaman's Rorschach Influence technique. [[spoiler:It is revealed that the split came from the time Zebra attempted to shoulder the guilt from killing Zebra Kid.]] |
| 597 | * SplitPersonalityMerge: [[spoiler:Zebra realized that he split his personality because he couldn't handle the guilt of killing Kid. Both personalities merged because of Kid.]] |
| 598 | * StartOfDarkness: Stopped believing in friendship after he chose to kill Zebra Kid and started believing that money was the only thing one needed to get by. |

| 600 | * TalkingToThemself: Both personalities of Zebra talk to each other after a horrible beatdown from Mariquitaman. |
| 601 | * UnskilledButStrong: His Brutal side. Much stronger than regular Zebra, but can be read easily. |
| 602 | * WorthyOpponent: Gives Mariquitaman a good fight during their match. [[spoiler: This deems Zebra worthy enough to receive Mariquitaman's true finisher: Marquita Deadly Ride.]] |

| 607 | * CoolMask |
| 608 | * TheInfiltration: [[spoiler: Ataru takes him down in order to take on his identity]] |

| 611 | |
| 612 | !!Kinnikuman Super Phoenix |
| 613 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phoenix_cape.jpg]] |
| 614 | ->''"Something as trivial as a power gap... '''Is nothing before a resourceful intellect!'''"'' |
| 615 | * BadBoss: Goes above and beyond every other villain in this regard, as he intentionally let his teammates be ''erased from existence'' just to make his fight with Kinnikuman more interesting. |
| 616 | * BigBad: The last one before the 2012 reboot |
| 617 | * BrainsEvilBrawnGood: The Brains to Suguru's Brawn |
| 618 | * TheBusCameBack: During the [[spoiler:Six Spears of Omega Centauri]] arc, the God of Intelligence tells Super Phoenix that Super Phoenix will descend to Earth once again as a friend of his is shaking things behind the scenes. |
| 619 | * TheChessmaster: He uses his team like pieces on a board, and manipulates the situation orderly |
| 620 | * CombatPragmatist: Uses an anti gravity device to give him an edge over Soldier as well as hiding the capabilities of his other men in order to gain a strategic advantage, rigged the armor match to his favor, and had Team Kinnikuman be killed in a maze trap so he wouldn't face them. |
| 621 | * CombinationAttack: [[spoiler:Puts aside his differences with Big Body and pulls off the God Bless Revenger to defeat Ideaman and The Notorious.]] |
| 622 | * DrivenByEnvy: While the other candidates had their own reasons to fight, Super Phoenix wants to be king because he really resents Suguru for being pampered [[DisproportionateRetribution even though Suguru was actually raised in just in poor conditions as he was literally dumped onto Earth by his father mistaking him for a pig]]. |
| 623 | * EvilCounterpart: More so than any of the other five princes to Suguru being much smarter and more skiled than he is |
| 624 | * EvilGenius: Unlike Kinkotsuman, he's much more competent |
| 625 | * FacialMarkings |
| 626 | * FinishingMove: Raging Ox and Muscle Revenger. Also Zebra's Muscle Inferno thanks to the God Of Technique giving him power. |
| 627 | * HalfTruth: He said he'd fight Kinnikuman Soldier in 6 tag match, he didn't say anything but his anti gravity device to make it into a 3 single match |
| 628 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: Towards the end of the series, he develops this. It turns out that it's the result of a congenital heart problem. |
| 629 | * JerkAss: An even bigger one than Neptuneman if that were possible. First he shows off in his match against Big Body by telling Mammothman to mess up on purpose and double KO Cannonballer so he can curbstomp Big Body himself, then he tries to kill both Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Soldier in one go by using the collapsing ring, [[spoiler: starts burning the pages of the Muscle Prophecy that were related to Ataru]], then he [[spoiler:Insults Ataru for running away from home after killing him]], starts burning the pages of the Muscle Prophecy regarding the roles of members in Kinnikuman's team ''and'' his own team, {{breaking speech}}es Kinnikuman that he doesn't deserve to be the heir to the throne or have a nice girlfriend like Bibinba because he's not smart like he is and ultimately tries to kill Kin by [[spoiler: using the Muscle Revenger on one of the iron posts supporting the ring.]] Oh and he kissed Bibinba in front of Suguru just to piss him off. During his match against [[spoiler:Aristera]] in the Fated Princes vs. the Six Spears matches, he's glad that he [[spoiler:accidentally caused Dexia's death in the Throne arc]] and that he's glad that he lost to Kinnikuman because it placed a damper on the Six Spears' plan. |
| 630 | * ManipulativeBastard: He is the avatar of the God of Intelligence, after all. |
| 631 | * MindControlEyes: Phoenix Madness Wave. |
| 632 | * NobleDemon: In a rare moment of nobility, he stalls the out of ring 20-count in order for Kin to save Bibinba. |
| 633 | * TheResenter: Really hates Suguru for having a life of luxury while he suffered |
| 634 | * SacredFirstKiss: [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Like Dio]], he does this to Bibimba in front of Suguru just to piss him off. |
| 635 | * SpannerInTheWorks: His team's loss to Kinnikuman in the Scramble for the Throne arc caused the Six Spears' plan to infiltrate Chojin Enma's ranks and learn about his weaknesses to fall apart at the seams. |
| 636 | * TagTeam: God Selected (w/Kinnikuman Big Body) |
| 637 | * TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:Despite being a jerk to Aristera, Super Phoenix reveals that he chose to fight the Six Spears in the Six Spears arc because he was humbled by Kinnikuman. He even willingly works with Kinnikuman Big Body to pull off a comeback victory against The Mighty Hercules tag-team.]] |
