The World Tour arc was the anime version of the American Tour, except it stopped after Robin's "death" and had Suguru's title revoked for attacking Shiek rather than not returning from fighting a monster in Japan in 30 minutes.

And yes, Devil Magician was beat down pretty easily by Suguru in their first fight, and Suguru and Terry Double Calf-Branded him and Skull in their tag-match at the end of the manga version of the arc.

Another example would be Hanzo... since he ends up getting *support* from the Ninja in his fight too. And last we saw of him, he was a complete psycho before the Reborn Ashuraman arc.

Well, not quite... Hanzo seemed to soften up considerably after being defeated and saved by Mantaro (perhaps even more so than Forkolossus/Fork the Giant). Also, during the Choujin Olympics final match, he appeared in a vision of Mantaro's to offer his support, stating that he had faith in the power of the Fire (the principles of which are kindness, self-sacrifice and friendship).

BTW, IMO Hanzo should have been the one to fight The Tattooman, and Bone Cold or Ricardo should have fought a more well-designed Gepparland.

[Dai Makai]

Bone Cold FTW! I loved his character, and Ricardo wasn't too bad either.

A little later this week, but still, UPDATE TIME!

[Matto]

Huge arsed claws, twisting bodies and a dramatic final page. Wow, why do I have this feeling the Worf Effect is going to come up and slap us in the face?

Chaos flashback = full of win. Impending loss of Robin and Kid = Epic Yude fail. D8

[TehStar]

Can someone explain to me what's up with Warsman and Michael in that one panel? Warsman still trying to calm Michael down or something?

[KnuxieChan]

Totally useless art comment, but Yude's getting better at side shots! Chaos' profile is quite nice, compared to their older work.

[Matto]

I concur with Knuxie, the side shot of Chaos is a vast improvement over other side-shots of other male characters, excluding the female characters.

Now I just debating if I should become flaming homesexually gay for Chaos. Maybe in the new future if Yude gives him good plot. ;D

Kind of sucks knowing that Japan only wh*res out Kinnikuman. We Nisei fans just get smacked on the head with a stick.

I think it's for a different reason, and I have two theories. One is that he and Warsman are training for their match the the Expansions.

The other, which I'd jump at if they did it, hinges on Michael being Mammothman. In that case, I figure that he's trying to jump in and save Robin Mask out of respect and Warsman is trying to stop him. Either that or the other way around.

[umgogo]

Warsman says: "Yasumu hitsuyou wa nai!" ("Rest isn't necessary!"/"No need to rest!")

The Five Disasters' tag-team move is called "Seigi Houkai no Shuukyoku" ("Finale of Justice Collapse" or "Justice-Crushing Finale").

seigi = justice
houkai = collapse/disintegration
shuukyoku = finale

BTW, the Japanese name for the Death Watch Branding is "Shi Tokei no Kokuin" ("Seal of the Deathclock").

shi = death
tokei = clock/watch/timepiece
kokuin = carved seal/stamp into

[Devil_Fudou]

Wouldn't be the first time. Remember the Ninja? Yeah. Last we saw of him before the Throne arc was being thrown down a pit and landing on Junkman's spikes. Two arcs later, he's acting like he's best buds with Brocken Jr. and as a Seiji Choujin.

Another example would be Hanzo... since he ends up getting *support* from the Ninja in his fight too. And last we saw of him, he was a complete psycho before the Reborn Ashuraman arc.

Lesson to be learned: No matter how mortal the enemies, Kinnikuman's friendship power can make them into unseperable comrades.

AND Mammothman was from Russia too.

but it doesn't make much sense, coz Mammothman originally came out in the Throne arc, and we're still in the Tag arc now...

but ohh well, not like it's the first time Kinnikuman doesn't make sense... lol

Maybe Warsman explained the situation to Mammothman? Since the Throne arc hasn't happened, maybe he's a good guy instead? .. I dunno.

[Chibibee]

Yet another update!








<-- I'm deeply amused at this, and it seems the scanner is as well.


NOW, what's Kid getting all freaked out about (besides the bear traps digging into his flesh)? I have a sneaking suspicion it's something to do with Kevin Mask's health. D:

Edited by Chibibee, 07 June 2008 - 07:29 PM.

[Matto]

Kevin Mask's vanished bikini briefs hold nothing against that picture.

NOTHING.

The last Kid picture shows part of his flesh ripped... ouch, not good.

[KnuxieChan]

I don't understand how Kevin's feather earring is going to allow him to breathe?

[Chibibee]

I'm highly tempted to make a 'Phoenix Down' joke at your comment Knuxie, but I fear it wouldn't work properly. D:

Now how the heck did I miss Kid's collarbone/shoulder area all messed up like that? and why do I get the feeling it may be easier for a certain tag team to 'deface' Kid later on?

[TehStar]

Oh, dear. It seems Kid is going through a lot of crap in this battle. Now, part of his flesh is even torn off?! Oh, geez...

[Dai Makai]

Eh, the people have gone through worse. I mean, wow... you've lost some skin.

FOUR OF YOUR FRIENDS LOST THEIR GODDAMN FACES, KID!

[TehStar]

Not saying that isn't really bad, but losing some flesh is also pretty bad.

[Matto]

FOUR OF YOUR FRIENDS LOST THEIR GODDAMN FACES, KID!

Blah, that is so a year ago. =P

[Chibibee]

Sunday update time, and it looks to be an emotional one;






I....I think a need a moment alone. *goes of into a corner and sobs*

[Titans]

DAMN YOU YUDE ! although im grateful that he didn't total screw robin and terry over. because i speak for everyone here when i say the killing or totally screwing over robin mask would totally suck and be a complete waste of time of doing this arc. (silently cries while cursing yude)

[Dai Makai]

So help me god, if they do another bracket-switch so the Machineguns and the Chaos/Mantaro team fight the bad guys and either one of them loses, I am going to be SO pissed.

[KinnikuFan]

It was pretty obvious that Kid & Robin would lose, they are facing two of the main antagonists. I'm looking forward to the next match anyways.

Sorry to be changing the subject, but does anyone have any scans from this week's Shonen Jump? I think there's supposed to be a special Kinnikuman chapter for the 29th Anniversary that's all I know about...

[Matto]

T-they killed Kid...???

Dammit, now I love more avatar more then ever. ;O;

Chibibee, do you have room in that corner for two?
