Mars hasn't used it yet.

[Kingmuscle]

After Buffaloman used it, Terryman tried it against the Asura Buster, but failed, then in Nisei Mars used it against mantaro.

no mars didnt he just slipped his head off Mantarous shoulder

Oh, then that must've been only in the anime. I saw him do it in this AMV at point 2:38:

He used both escape methods in the manga.

[Kingmuscle]

He used both escape methods in the manga.

must've happened near the beginning of the manga match as ive only got the ending

[shino619]

is he really learning all that? Maybe Perfect Choujin just did some research on possible opponents before attacking

[Evil Lord Proteus]

Waoh, anyone got a translation? Looks like something really interesting is going on. I get the impression Peekaboo is being controlled by Budo and made to fight against his will. Peekaboo seems really mad at Budo.

[Kingmuscle]

ya Kinnikuman seems upset by something too the way hes staring at his hands id say he regretted doing something maybe attacking Peekaboo while he was distracted im thinking

[AtarusMuscleSpark]

Oh snap, that was an interesting chapter. It looks like Peekaboo was a badass, but Budo used hypnosis or something to make him child-brained. Whoever does the translation, what was the name of that 48 killer move that Peekaboo used? As well as that slam move.

Edit: Nevermind the second one, I was able to translate it with my comp's character map and google translate as "Big Baby Bomb"

And using the same method, I can tell that in the last bubble he's talking about his Body Slam... I think he's forgot how to do it?

[shino619]

we NEED a translation of what's going on here...

[Kingmuscle]

ya whatever happened to that guy who translated the chapters for us normally he translates it even before the chapter is up

[AtarusMuscleSpark]

Note: I will not be around starting 11 - 13 June, so the next one will be on a later date.

That's why he's not here. He said this in his last translation.

Peek-a-Boo learns and evolves extremely quickly when in his infant form. This explains why he started out as a defenseless baby but is now a teenager (?) capable of using the 48 Satsujin Waza (Deadly Techniques), including one nobody except Kin/Kamehame has even seen - the Kinniku Kaitai Gatame (~ Muscle Body-Breaking Lock). After each match, Budo returns him to this state (how? he is able to to turn Choujin into humans, after all...) so that he can employ the same strategy against subsequent opponents.

This time, however, Peek-a-Boo does not wish to be "resetted", as he feels that his mastery of Kinnikuman's arsenal is more valuable than the "rapid evolution" tactic itself. He declares his intention of doing away with Budo and escaping his control, and that he will become the "truly Perfect Fear" after absorbing all of Kin's moves.

As Kinnikuman lifts Peek-a-Boo, P-a-B tells him that he will reverse any move, from a Fisherman's Suplex to an Exploder. For some reason, though, he seems unable to counter or escape a body slam - possibly due to the move's simplicity?

(Perhaps P-a-B's "teenage" form is attuned to learning elaborate techniques rather than fundamentals, similar to how many people find complex actions easier to learn later in life, but pick up basic, semi-instinctual actions faster at an early stage?)

why do i get the feeling Peekaboo's gonna take Budo's spot as leader of the perfects?

[Evil Lord Proteus]

That would be awful.

[shino619]

For that two hilarious things should happen first: Peek-a-Boo defeating Kinnikuman, and OMGLOLWTF The Mountain defeating Strong the Budo

[Ridureyu]

Or Kinnikuman defeating but not killing Peek-A-Boo, and PAB defeating Budo.


Also, now that we've seen a little of what they can do... PERFECT ANALYSIS TIME

MAX RADIAL:
Special Power: Grinding the skin off people with his tire treads.
Wrestling Ability: Poor. All he could do was grab and use his tires, and when his gimmick broke, so did he.
Defeated By: His gimmick broke down, and it damaged his body in the process, which made him easy pickings.

TURBOMAN:
Special Power: Reflecting received damage onto his opponent, implied durability so this does not disable him.
Wrestling Ability: Seems low. He takes hits until he can reflect it onto his opponent, then finishes him.
Defeated By: Not yet.

CRUSHMAN:
Special Power: Crushing people with his girder-like appendages, being mechanical.
Wrestling Ability: Moderate. Can get out of some nasty holds, but mostly relies on his gimmick.
Defeated By: Not yet.

DALMATIAN
Special Power: Can change his head to that of different dogs, and do weird things with his spots.
Wrestling Ability: High. His gimmicks are situational, but he made up for it with pure skill.
Defeated By: Black Hole's gimmick mixed qith some quick thinking and misdirection.

MARLINMAN
Special Power: Can use his nose as a spear, can cut with his fins, and has an air bladder in his mouth.
Wrestling Ability: High. As with Dalmatian, his ability was somewhat situational, and he made up for it with skill and ability in setting his opponent upfor his spear moves.
Defeated By: Atlantis's skill and Burning-Inner-Strengthesque determination.

PEEK-A-BOO
Special Power: Can learn and counter anything. Also has a weird face in his belly.
Wrestling Ability: Very high, as his gimmick relies entirely on skill and quick learning.
Defeated By: Dunno yet.

STRONG THE BUDO
Special Power: Unknown, but he can take chojin powers away from wrestlers.
Wrestling Ability: Unknown, but assumed to be very high.
Defeated By: Dunno yet.

Defeated By: Not yet.

Turboman showed considerable skill if you go back and re-read it. In perticular I enjoyed the way he span Stecase King into that airborn powerbomb, his spinnaroony after recieving a powerbomb from Stecase and his wall jump/spin kick.

[Ridureyu]

True, he did show some wrestling ability, but he also spent a lot of the fight intentionally taking hits...

[ironmask]

I would love to see the trend of more technical wrestling, and less gimmicks, continue.
I felt that the UM Chojin Olympics were hampered by too many gimmicks, from Legox to Turbinski, to the beetle guy from Iraq... A gimmick now and again, is interesting and fun... But that Atlantis/Marlinman match really illustrated that technical contests can be amazing.

[Ridureyu]

Gimmicks are fun, but Kinnikuman wins because his gimmicks involve putting enemies in really good holds.

[Evil Lord Proteus]

True, he did show some wrestling ability, but he also spent a lot of the fight intentionally taking hits...

I refuse to believe that Turboman can see into the future and know who Stecase King is going to turn into and deliberatley possition himself so he can fall victim to their special abilities.

He rammed back first into Stecase King to knock him down to the ring mid-air, Stecase THEN turned into Neptune Man. He lifted Stecase King above his head to throw him, then Stecase turned into Mammoth Man. Many of the moves Stecase got on Turboman were reversals. There is no way Turboman could "intentionally" take such hits that occured so spontaneously.

The way I see it Turboman was just being oppertunistic, activating his Earth Link ONLY when the right moment came along, that being the Palo Special, when both of them were actively engaged in a lengthy grapple that was dealing steady damage to Turboman. I dont think all the damage he took throughout the match was transferred to Stecase King, just the Palo Special. You should also have noticed that Turboman was spinning his wrist barrel just as Stecases arm twisted off, inbdicating there was more to the Earth Link than just transferring damage and giving himself/his enemy a power boost.

[ironmask]

I would like to see Ricardo vs Atlantis.

And, Turboman kind of sucks, IMO.
Still, the next round should be an interesting one.

[Blackbeard D. Kuma]

It'll be really interesting to see if Sunshine and Akuma Shogun will have any new techniques up their sleeves.
