wt exactly dus kid and king muscle, and all the other people from the kinniku planet look like, underneath thier mask, and why do they all wear masks, dus n e 1 no dis?

[Siya the Barracuda]

The Kinniku family have very human-looking faces. I have a few images of their brief apperances without their masks.

http://ourworld.cs.c...mi-no-Papa2.jpg - Mayumi's father (Mayumi is Suguru/Kinnikuman's father)

http://ourworld.cs.c.../SuguruFace.jpg - Suguru/Kinnikuman in the manga (final tournament)

http://ourworld.cs.c...mcules/taro.png - And Mantaro, but a baby/child picture of his unmasked face.

Reason for them wearing masks? It's a tradition of Kinniku planet. *shrugs*

lol the Kid looks like Goku or maybe to be more precise Gohan and Goten of dbz

[Siya the Barracuda]

Yeah, he kinda looks like child Gohan.

[waqararif11]

so i would just guess that, Kinnikuman/Sugurru/King Muscle would kind of look like Goku?

[Siya the Barracuda]

No...Suguru doesn't have the same sticky-out fringe as Mantaro does.

He has sorta mop-type hair. In the manga, it was black, but in the anime it was brunette.

[waqararif11]

wow, i just wish, we had more of an insight to the kinnikuman culture

[Articulationnut]

I was wondering this myself ....

[rai]

I don't know if it'll help, but in one of the tag team volumes of nisei, when they think about what happens if Mantaro gets crossbombed by Neptuneman and Wally, it sorta shows his mouth and hair after his mask comes off , the eyes I can't help ya there.

Edit: Oh, and for those of you who don't know. If a Kinniku clan member takes off his mask then he has to kill him/herself.That's why Meat begged Suguru not to take off his mask at the lake in the begining of the throne arc.

I wonder why they didn't make any unmasked Suguru figures. That would be cool to have either a keshi, or an action figure with an interchangeable head.

It look like my Avatar

Now THIS I gotta see...

Yeah, but they aren't the only people that wear masks, in Kinnikuman. Actually, quite a few of the characters make a big deal about not revealing their face, which leads me onto this point.

Robin Mask and Warsman got their masks knocked off by Neptuneman and Big the Budo, during the Tournament Mountain. When it happened, the paparazzi went nuts, and the two of them were deathly afraid to show their true faces, for some reason. Probably not the same method as Kinniku Family, I'd wager, but still, there's gotta' be a reason.

Warsman, is obviously just wires and a huge singular eyeball. He lost his mask during a fight with Kinnikuman, anyway, much earlier on. I believe.

Robin Mask had like, uh, light brown hair, blue eyes, and looked like a handsome Disney Prince, or something. All the women in the crowd starting blushing, and for good reason!

[Staplerman]

He looks rather freaky on that cover...

[KinnikuGai]

So mantaro shoud look a bit like a mix or Suguru and Bibinba. He's probably got suguru looks and Bibinba heir colour. yours guy kinniku

Warsman without mask.
Robin without mask.

[Grizzledman]

In the manga they didn't show his face in quite that much detail..

[Iori]

Lol. There's a whole wide shot of his face, as it slowly fades from shadow into light.

I haven't watched that episode in a while, but I'm damn sure it pretty much stares at his face for thirty or more seconds, straight.

The most amusing thing is, both him and Warsman continue to watch the next match, holding a teeny little towel each that covers one half of their face, and allows them to peek on the action from the other side. Ha-ha.

But, seriously. Thanks for putting that up, BlazeShadow.

WOW! Thats not how I imagined Suguru without his mask. I think many of the girls who rejected him would regret it if they saw this cover.

wow Suguru looks like somewhat like Mr. Barracuda just without his hair covering his eyes

[Imp]

LOL! That's because the artist wasn't that great at drawing faces. The human ones all look the same, if you think about it.

Warsman without mask.
Robin without mask.

Wow, Robin does look like a Disney prince. xD And as for why Warsman and Robin being afraid to show thier faces, I'm pretty sure Warsman is ashamed of his inhuman looks (if I remember right, he showed Suguru his face in the darkness so only he could really see).

For Robin Mask and his family, it may be something similar to the Mexican 'Luchdores'. Thier masks become thier identity, so to lose it can effect thier confidence. He had no problem being open-faced Barracuda when no one knew it was him, but once his true identity was revealed, that changed.

It's not so much a physical punishment like the Kinniku's face, but a mental stigma driven into the family members.

[Matto]

Wow, that anime pic screams bishounen. XD

Scary thought that his face, when compared to other characters in the anime, looks...like a normal anime face.
