I know Tenzan of NJPW has used calf branding a few times.

Another thing came to mind... When Suguru saw the Muscle Spark in a flash but forgot how to hold the arms... Why didn't he just look at the Finishing Hold Fresco? It's pretty clearly displayed there, and he already knew how to launch the enemy into the air, so...

tower bridge is an angentina backbreaker... texas cloverleaf is a real submission... camel clutch also exists... kinniku buster can be found on youtube under the name of muscle buster and mexican stretch buster

I don't think an argentina backbreaker is very useful in case of actually hurting someone, it shouldn't be too difficult to get out of, and you have some very strong musculature to fight back with.

Texas Clover Leaf is probably reasonably useful.

Camel Clutch... Well, it wouldn't be impossible to get out of using your hands (which the people put in it always fail to do for some strange reason), but yeah, you could "easily" do some serious neck damage to someone using it.

The Kinniku Buster is completely useless for a large number of reasons; Impractical, probably nearly impossible to pull off, and most of all, due to Newton's third law of momentum, you take just as much damage in the same way as the person you're applying it to.

The nice thing about the Palo Special is that you put your opponent's arms in a position where they can't really utilize any useful musculature, while depriving them of breathing and putting a lot of pressure on their torso, pelvis and legs.

Don't ask.

I thought of a random silly thing - Isn't the lion referred to as "Hyakkujuuou" (King of the beasts, but literally king of a/the hundred beasts) in Japan? Maybe King (of) the 100 ton(s) is a stupid play on that?

To tell the truth that may actually work. Though his name was written out in Katakana as literally "King The 100 Ton"...and to think I always thought it was "to differentiate him from King Ton".

[Tubba]

The pig is called Ton with a long "to", though (not exactly toon since that English word would be written something like tsuun). He's displayed on page 169 of volume 36.

Tash, KG. I don't know how you guys did it. I haven't even finished one chapter of text setting and I'm already regretting that I said I'd do it. They're so wordy.. DX

So major apologizes to anyone who's waiting for the next chapters. I'm.. very slowly working on them.

You do realize I was making a joke back there. (considering "King Ton" is more akin to "tonkatsu" and "King the 100 Ton" is in reference to "a measurement of mass", it's obvious they're different)

Sheer, unadulterated determination.

No, actually, I didn't, for once. I didn't even know what King Ton's name referred to.

"Ton" is another reading for "buta", it's just mostly well known for "tonkatsu".

it's interesting how the original paint with the secret techniques of the kinniku clan change as the story develops...

[Tubba]

Something that's been bothering me... How in the world did Neptuneman figure out the true Robin Special before Robin could even use it?

Maybe he's so smart, he could figure out how it should go for real when he was in the air.

[Tubba]

Yeah, except the manga continued to repeatedly demonstrate that Neptuneman is extraordinarily dumb and that Neptune King was the brains behind it.

Well then, what's your reasoning for it, then?

Robin's first Robin Special ended with him driving his opponent's head into the canvas. He didn't give any indication that that version was incomplete. Once Neptuneman did the reversal version, which ends with the user's legs breaking the opponent's neck on impact, that was what Robin used in the SFtT arc. Maybe Robin felt that Neptuneman's version was an improvement from his own, and thus decided to use it from that point on.

Nope, he said to Neptuneman "That was not the true Robin Special, I've been saving it for you" or something to that extent.


http://www.onemanga....nikuman/317/19/ This is seriously annoying me and I wonder what the hell Yude were thinking. A bridge is performed using your arm muscles, shoulder, back and legs. BUT IT DOES NOT INVOLVE USING YOUR ABDOMINALS TO LIFT YOURSELF UP. At most they're a stabilizer. Contracting your abdominals would BREAK the bridge.

I still haven't figured out how that Fresco painting turns into the Muscle Spark, either. Does it depict the moment before the Ataru finish?

Basically for some reason (without giving too much away to those following the scans) Suguru ends up "realizing" half of the Muscle Spark...and Ataru the other half. Once combined together (through a really weird method Neptuneman comes up with), the true Muscle Spark emerges.

[Tubba]

Yeah, but... It still doesn't look anything like the fresco painting.

[Blackbeard D. Kuma]

Nope, he said to Neptuneman "That was not the true Robin Special, I've been saving it for you" or something to that extent.

You're right. My bad. In chapter 223 - pages 4 & 5, Robin says "Don't get the wrong idea, Warsman. It was my intention not to finish off Budo." followed by "I was saving the perfect Robin Special for you! (to Neptuneman)"

Hmm...I wonder what Yudetamago's explanation would be for this.
