I'm betting he'll be revived at the end of the arc.

Let us be emo, it's fun to b*tch about character deaths.

To celebrate this new low of Yude plot devices (y halo thr Wolf Effect), my *ss is throwing a party, everyone is invited.

Bring your own booze though.

It's not like every single character hasn't died before, though.......

[MoonNeko]

OH MY GOD.. I was very VERY affraid this would happen T__T NOOOOOO!!!! I just knew this was gonna happen to Terry, what a heartbreaking moment T__T I totally cried you guys, I did, I tried not to, but I did T__T And seeing Mantarou crying ONLY made it WORSE.. OH MY GOD.. I will TOTALLY be drawing something emotional for this chapter T__T I just wish their was a better quality scan or a bigger one, guess I'll just have to wait for the manga to come out xD

Thanks for the scans, god this is sooo devastatingly terrible T__T wahhhhh My sis was like 'Well at least he's not blind like my baby Jaeger' and I was like 'Yeah.. Terry died.' xD NOOOO!!!!

Sooo touching and emotional.. damn it .. *goes to corner to weep some more*

[umgogo]

Thunder's decisive attack is called "Shishi no Ken'i" ("Lion's Authority"). The claw on his shoulder is apparently called the "Lion Finger".

[KnuxieChan]

Atleast Terry died fighting and didn't have his face ripped off. =[

I still think Robin's a dumbass for fighting in the first place. PUTTING KEVIN'S LIFE IN MORE DANGER, HURRHURR.

Now y'all know what its like being a fan of Jade.

Well actually Terryman has the only distictive honour of NEVER dying at all in Kinnikuman...it used to be Terryman and Ramenman but it looks like in this altered timeline, Ramenman died...so yeah only Terryman

[Dai Makai]

Actually, Ramenman was just sent back to that forest where the mist lets him actually maintain higher-level brain functions, IIRC.

D= I am a fan of him though.


. And man, Terryman is just epic.

[Frobman]

Thought I'd mention to you all that last week's Weekly Shonen Jump had a special 29th Anniversary story for Kinnikuman in it. It had a colour page, 2 brief pages on the history of Kinnikuman, and what's to come for this year:-An art book (should be out now)
-The DVD Boxset (13/7)
-Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2 for the PS2 (also includes the old Famicom games, I believe) (25/9)
-The whole of June showing the TV series and movies on TV
-2 of the latest Kinnikuman Nisei graphic Novels
-Another Kinnikuman Day on 29/8 (A Friday)
What the story's about is that it's another post-Kinnikuman (not too long after the Kinnikuman-Terryman fight, I believe), Pre-Nisei story. It centers around Kinnikuman's wedding day with Bibinba, but he's nowhere to be found. Obviously, Kinniku Mayumi is panicing.
Later, we see Meat back at the shack in the park, where he meets Terryman, Ramenman, Warsman, Brocken Jr, Wolfman, Robin Mask and Buffaloman, who were all sent invites to come there. So Kinnikuman appears (and Meat panics as well that he's not attending his own wedding). So Kinnikuman does what I would consider to be a bachelor party. A Sparring Bachelor party.

He goes up against all the Idol Chojin, one after another. Beats Wolfman's Gashou Hineri with a leg grab, Brocken's Red Rain of Berlin with a Kinniku Buster, and Ramenman's Camel Clutch with a Kinniku Driver. But then he's beaten by Warsman's Screw Driver and Palo Special, Buffaloman's Hurricane Mixer and Revenge Buster, then Robin Mask's Tower Bridge to Reverse Tower Bridge (all three having learnt from their defeats).
Then it's down to Terryman versus Kinnikuman, which Meat considers as a rematch over the un-concluded match they had. He gives him bandages to wrap around their hands for an old-fashioned fist fight/kick boxing match. They give it their all, till both land the last blow each and tied. Of course Kinnikuman enjoyed his time.

Recuperating, the Idol Chojin just lay about, reminicing and talking about him, while back on Planet Kinniku, everybody's still worrying about the wedding, till finally, Kinnikuman arrives in his usual suit with a boquet, but his face and mask bruised, swollen and torn, but neither he nor Bibinba care as they are wed. End!

I'm going to California in August, so I will keep an eye out for the art book and any of the wide-bodied manga books.

And now we just need scans of that manga special. =/

[mal_low64]

Actually, Ramenman was just sent back to that forest where the mist lets him actually maintain higher-level brain functions, IIRC.

he did? I thought Ramenman had died since there was a scene about Mantaro "finding" Ramenman's scrolls in an altered future and studying and learning martial arts from them because Ramnman couldn't do it himself.

[Dai Makai]

Well, Ramenman might just've been hesitant to teach Mantaro after losing him to.

And besides Ramenman could easily revive himself with that whole "Four sphere jewels in the Underworld in six months" gimmick.

[Matto]

I still think Robin's a dumbass for fighting in the first place.

I love you, Knuxie. I just want to kiss you for that. stupid crazy stalker guy I am lol

And that manga special sounds like a bad fan fic... okay, I know I didn't read the actual thing (manga special) but that brief description just gives it that vibe.

*waits for a "Fanfics are crap and you're wrong" comment.*

[mal_low64]

true there is that gimmick but if it were that simple, why didn't Robin do that when Thunder and Lightning killed him in the first place? Yeah yeah we wouldn't a story, but still...

Update time: Preparation for the next match.





I know you're still in there, Seiuchin~! ;_;


And it seems we have a few scans oof the Post Niku, Pre-Nisei story Frobman mentioned (should've grabbed those other ones when I had the chance.)

[Dai Makai]

I find it odd that in spite of Kevin going transparent, not much else of the Nisei universe seemed to change with Robin's death.

I can only presume there is some unusual ability going on in regards to the Time Choujin. Perhaps Robin did end up getting revived, but some other element prevented Kevin from being born. Alisa dying from grief, perhaps. Or maybe the Death Watch Branding killed off his little Robins.

[MoonNeko]

Ohh god I wish I knew where I could purchase these magazines that Kinnikuman Nisei appears in xD GAHHHHH!! I'd soo buy them x_x;;

And the extra Kinnikuman story in the Shounen Jump rocked ASS!!! My sis got it and I'm willing to scan it for you guys?? It's just.. too freakin' awesome. I love it, can't read it, but I get the gist of whats going on, and those tiny little panels that were posted don't do the story justice, it's soo epic xD

Wish there was more to the chapter this week, I'd love to actually see the whole thing instead of snipits.. but I guess I can't be too picky T__T
