So anyway, what's the deal with Painman and Goldman? IS Painman saying he was just very good at not getting hit by Goldman's powerful moves?
Hahaha.. he certainly believes so but I guess we'll never know since they never fought outside of their sparring days.
But the story is that Goldman and Painman used to quarrel frequently about which was greater; Goldman's Diamond Power or Painman's Cushioning Body. And because of that, Painman could never see eye to eye with Goldman on any of his opinions. He keeps taunting Junkman, wondering if Goldman could have even been able to train such Inferior Choujin and that he couldn't have been thinking straight. And at one point he rants about Goldman, saying he hasn't changed one bit from then. Then he turns around and laments those times, saying that he "enjoyed" their bickering but more then that he wishes he could have understood him and that he was sad that after all that time, they just couldn't stop quarreling.
tl;dr Painman is the biggest tsundere who ever tsundere'd. And it also became a thing in the Japanese fandom and I've actually seen tsundere!Painman fanart and it's just the most amazing thing.
