Summary
Due to Kinnikuman losing his title after the American Tour, another Choujin Olympics is held, called The Big Fight. Besides veteran Choujin like Terryman and Ramenman returning, new fighters appear. Brocken Jr. wants revenge on Ramenman for killing his father, the sumo wrestler Wolfman competes with Kin over who should represent Japan, and most mysterious of all is the Soviet Choujin Warsman...
Tropes
- Beat Them at Their Own Game: Harabote Muscle arranges for Kin and Wolfman's match to be like a sumo fight, seemingly giving Wolfman the advantage, but Kin wins by duplexing Wolfman out of the arena.
- Curb Stomp Cushion: Although Ramenman beats Brocken in one move, this is after he allows the younger Choujin to whale on him for a bit.
- Enemy Mine: During the final prelim, Kin and Wolfman team up to win the race.
- Dramatic Unmask: Several;
- Mr. Barracuda, Warsman's trainer, turns out to be Robin Mask.
- After losing, Warsman takes off his own mask, revealing that his "face" is actually just a circuit-board with eyes.
- Good Thing You Can Heal: Ramenman took a lot of damage during his fight with Brocken Jr., but is just fine for his match with Warsman due to Choujin having a Healing Factor. Kin finds this interesting, as he heals slower than normal people.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: In order to get out of his match with Warsman, Kin switches masks with Meat. Given the difference in sizes, no one is fooled.
- Train Stopping: Terryman loses the train-pushing event when he stops his own train to save a puppy that wandered onto the tracks.
