The between the matches fan fiction better be stupidly bad. Or else Serious Cat gets more serious.

Neptuneman didn't betray Neptune King because he broke the rules, he betrayed him because he realized that the "rules" were just a load of crap that he fed to the Perfect Chojin so that he'd have an easier time controlling them. Quite frankly, that would kind of piss me off, too.Let's also not forget that Neptune King was the strongest Chojin in history (well, at that point in the story, anyway), the don of all the perfect chojin and the author of Neptuneman's codex. Neptuneman then betrays him for breaking rules Neptune King wrote himself and which Neptuneman had repeatedly broken before.

And speaking of the Throne arc only one thing is still bugging me. And that's from back when that mysterious person in the hood and cloak showed up. Since one of the Yakuza in the audience standing in front of our mystery man had a phoenix tattoo someone here said that it could be Kinnikuman Super Phoenix. And now that I've been thinking about it if it is Phoenix then what purpose dose having him show up serve?
I can think of two possible reasons. The first is one that would cause people to scream and pull their hair out and would make me throw up my hands and declare that Yude is trolling Kinnikuman fans on an epic level. Phoenix, if that's who the hooded person is, plans on throwing himself into this whole mess and thus stretch this arc out for even more years than it's been going. The second one, one that I wouldn't mind but I don't know how anyone else feels, is that he's just observing things and that after this arc is over he will reveal himself and set up a new arc.

Yude has trolled us too many times for me to count. MANY. MANY TIMES.The first is one that would cause people to scream and pull their hair out and would make me throw up my hands and declare that Yude is trolling Kinnikuman fans on an epic level.
Pulling my hair out is too nice. I prefer wallbanging my head. On a brick wall.

Neptuneman, on the other hand, gladly swallowed them for about fifty chapters. But I guess intelligence isn't a requirement for being perfect.Neptuneman didn't betray Neptune King because he broke the rules, he betrayed him because he realized that the "rules" were just a load of crap that he fed to the Perfect Chojin so that he'd have an easier time controlling them.

I like the theory that he's just there as a way to bridge this arc into the next (chronological) arc. After Mammothman and Neptuneman get beat, Phoenix will approach Mammothman with an offer, then they'll walk off into the sunset together.And speaking of the Throne arc only one thing is still bugging me.

Hopefully that'll be the extent of his interference.
Bear in mind that he's the same guy who accidentally blurted out Budo's identity in the middle of the match. Neptuneman is more of a brawn guy than a thinker.Neptuneman, on the other hand, gladly swallowed them for about fifty chapters. But I guess intelligence isn't a requirement for being perfect.

And Neptune King's legwear is really really durable, given that Kinnikuman could hold onto it during the Muscle Docking...

Are you talking about when Buffaloman was overpowering Neptuneman in the very beginning of the match? Because if that's the case, no, Neptuneman didn't tag in Big The Budo. He managed to skillfully counter Buffaloman and throw him into the barbed wire. Big The Budo is more about using his size to his advantage, whereas Neptuneman is more about power. Recall that both Big the Budo and Robin Mask said they get a strange feeling of heaviness and oppression from his (Neptuneman's) shoulders. Neptuneman may be physically stronger than Budo, but he's not as powerful overall, hence the reason why Budo was actually the leader of the team and not him.Reminds me... I find it a bit dubious that Neptuneman is supposedly physically stronger than Neptune King. I mean, remember during the 20 million powers fight; When Buffaloman grappled him down, he tagged with Budo (which clearly indicates that Budo is the stronger of the two, muscle wise)

When you say more powerful overall do you mean power level? Becasue that would mean Mammothman with his 78 million power would be the leader between himself and Neptuneman no?

Yes and no. As we all know, chojin power levels are not accurate indicators as to who's stronger than who, but they do provide some insight as to how strong a chojin is. Big The Budo (aka Neptune King) was considered to be the strongest chojin ever, and this is further reinforced by the fact that he was the leader of all perfect chojin, who were the closest to being gods in the Kinnikuman universe.When you say more powerful overall do you mean power level?

I also wondered how he gained all that weight by walking around under the Thames. He's a LOT thinner in the flashback when Harabote explains the sword boards.

And as for recruitment: somehow it may not be Super Phoenix per-se...but maybe God of Intelligence as Super Phoenix recruiting Mammothman akin to how he ended up making that bargain with Samson Teacher.

Most likely he did get weaker since he secluded himself in the Thames River for such a long time while doing nothing. He had no competition, so there was no incentive for him to train.True, but do you think Budo lost some power over time or was he still the same level as in his prime?
