Welcome back, everyone
Today, Mantaro gets his first actual fight, instead of just one-shotting the second he makes an actual move

>>280827601So did this Kevin also have a bad day in a sweltering hot summer of '92?
Honestly the early volumes aren't where things get bad, I reread it recently and the early volumes were...not particularly kind to the older characters, but decent.
I forget what arc it was when I really noticed the shift. Maybe it was somewhere around the Stone Bone Cold fight, maybe it was the Olympics, maybe it was Jijiman, I know there's a point where I just didn't feel as good reading it in the same way.
>>280827601Wait why is his name Kevin mask wasn't the family name Robin. Wasn't Robin masks dad like Robin knight?

>>280827636"Robin Nash" doesn't really sound good
In universe, he's named after Kevin and Alisa's favorite pub
Have humans come back from the dead?
>>280827670>>280827661So wouldn't he be Robin Kevin

>>280827707We need another Kinnikuman storytime, I don't remember if Geronimo dies before becoming a chojin.

>>280827828Aren't you leaving out something else that you used to do, Nakano?
I don't know why everyone gives mantaro so much shit for trying to run away. Kids 14. His dad did it all the time and he was in his 20s

Memes aside, Kevin was born in 1996
>>280828221Why the fuck did everyone wait so long to have kids. Were they all gay and it took them over a decade to get I up?

>>280828491Is that not just an Argentinan Backbreaker?
Or the Tower Bridge
>>280827670Fun fact, apparently the Nash comparisons aren't accurate, he was named after the lone brother, Kevin von Erich
>>280828680Bibimba traced that while fucking suguru

>>280828803Tel-Tel Boy fell victim to one of the classical blunders
>>280828906I'm gonna assume the japanese version has mantaro shitting on suguru's head there
>>280829094LOOK OUT HES ABOUT TO WHIP OUT MANTARO'S KINNIKU'S
>>280828686I read that too but it sounded kind of bullshit. The DMP is clearly a ripoff of the NWO which Nash was a founder of. Thereโs no way Mask wasnโt partially based on Nash. Seems like they tried to distance themselves from Kevin Nash once he stopped being popular and started to shit talk Japanese wrestlers for being midgets.
>>280829353I'm the only one who prefers this guy's american name? considering he's the grandson of SneedgATOR
>>280829263Muscle Returns was in January 1996, that's when we saw non-canon Kevin Mask before it was redrawn to comply with Nisei's timeframe. At that time, Nash and Hall were still Diesel and Razor Ramon, only jumping ship in May of that year. Nisei debuted in April 1998, which was during the nWo era. Named after von Erich, later influenced by Nash.
>>280829523He looks better without that nose ring
>>280829133The anime changed this to Mantaro pissing himself.

>>280830099Are you counting the Perfect Chojin ones too?
>>280830005>I've never even been hit by mom or dadthat explains A LOT of things about mantaro
>>280827980>>280828012Not gonna lie I kinda like Mantaro a little more that Suguru. He's like all of Suguru's worst but funniest traits with the cowardice dialed back a bit and replaced by laziness
>>280830128oh god no wonder, he has two on screen matches pre-perfect chojin, and he loses both, i don't blame mantaro's comments

>>280829353This guy looks like he must be a blast to fight.

Do you think SteCasse and Springman knew about Jr?
>>280830515Wait, they changed this guy to be the Pumpinator, which would go well with Sneagator, and then... made him Shocadile instead?
But why though.
>>280831496don't ask who's back there folding his arms
>>280831883SUNSHINE NO! MANTAROS ONLY 14!

>>280831898Do not think too hard about the image of Shogun laying defeated with the Golden Mask held above him.
When are we joining the muscle league?

Done for today
Come back tomorrow to see what Sunshine wants Mantaro to do
>>280829342>>280829353Pumpinator is also better than Maxman.
>>280827636Kevin as a drama queen want to broke the Robin tradition and start his own name or Shimada forgot it
>>280832063Oh, they do offer you food too. It better be good at that price though.
>>280827643How do you get jumped after spotting them first?
>>280827636Maybe theyโre Robin Mask I, II, and III or something, and โKnightโ and โGrandeโ are just titles they earned.
>>280835540Numbers advantage is real.
>>280827694Is that the ROLLING SAVATE!?
>>280827741Poor guy just wanted to play vidya
>>280827741How does the tattoo artist know what the guys he beat up look like?
>>280827773>My parents will be even more disappointed! Ahahahaha!>muh mum>muh papaffs this guy is supposed to be cool?
>>280837096Mummy and Daddy, actually
>>280837096Women love pretty boys with complexes over their parents, or so I've been told
>>280837513Bitches love it when a guy still calls his estranged father "Daddy."
>>280828254They waited until they felt old age creeping up on them and realized oh shit I have to spawn my replacement.
>>280828803Pot calling the kettle black.
>>280829014Why does a phone have a floppy disk?
>>280829094He's going to whip it out!
>>280829353Your average 18 years old.
>>280829421Kevin was so shocked he started speaking blank
>>280829458>Youngster choujins have zero respect for rulesImagine spitting on a million of years long tradition like that.
>>280829619>Biting when your gimmick doesn't involve bitingThe Pumpinator genuinely has zero respect for the rules or keyfabe.
>>280829725The OPM storytime ended but my hero Blast will never die!
>>280830005Meat is here to slap the Kinniku family all throughout the generations.
>>280830020Bruh, he got streamrolled.
>>280838126Suguru actually loves his son unlike Mayumi.
>>280830299Was he just a shoe like the Mixer was just a blender?
>>280828564gotta admit he's got more riz than Suguru
>>280828712>you don't start cheering for the oppositionyou don't understand, dmp mook, the Robin fight instinct to find and fight a worthy rival is just that strong
>>280829014lol did Manaro lobotomize this guy?
>>280830659The mention that he was small and sickly is too corny. Like someone adding more and more to his sad background.
Huh, now that I think about it, the justice chojin lucked out with Kevin being too much of a punk to ever listen to Sunshine, because Kevin would have folded like paper at the idea that evil chojin can have friends too.
>>280831042Dogeza chojin
>>280831061That Kevin Mask panel is so expressive
OH SHIT I THOUGHT IT WAS NEXT WEEK
>>280831140The guy in the first panel looks too distinct.
>>280839049It was for the best. He'd just get replaced by newer phone models.
>>280831496>That silhouetteOh come one, another one!
>>280831508Yep, Sunshine is MASSIVE!
>>280831717Sunshine is right. Mantaro lacks proper table manners.
>>280827741Yeah I like Kevin trying to be all cool and mysterious, but getting caught in Mantaro's pace.
>>280831748I love how he didn't lose his iconic grin.
>>280831914Sunshine hiding behind the rock like he's a fucking NTR victim will never stop sending me into hysterics
>>280827773Meat's so smart, he's genre-savvy.
>>280829745>first panelWally Tusket is kinda thicc...
>>280832035Sunshine and Mantaro dine and dashed!
>>280836597He takes a picture just in case.
>>280831840Those guys are eating like kings (only getting the whites and not the whole egg aside)
>>280829725Fucked up that I can see a page like this and my only reaction is "Oh, this again?".
>>280831584...Is that fucking Patrick Star?
>>280830063>garlic makes Suguru stronger>onions make Mantaro stronger nice nod to early strips Suguru
>>280840121He does have a goofy head, right?
>>280839071They had to answer the immediate question of "Why didn't Sneagator Jr. avenge his dad? Brockenman Jr. did it."
>>280839280I think that one's Neptune King
If you look closely you can see the shape of his mask and not of a Men
>>280831914the cuck rock gets me every time
>>280831027And doing it all without taking off his pants. Bro has talent.
>>280828457this is just shitty stecasse
>>280829421that was pretty perfect of him
>>280831223couldn't they just directly translate it to muscle buster
butt buster sounds dumb
>>280831625>>280831637I miss the Perfect Choujin. They would have shut this shit down by now.
What would Seiuchin's Perfect Title be?
>>280844343Perfect Tusk? maybe too much similar to Dalmatiman title, Perfect Beast maybe
>>280843119>Scandalous!Psychoman, I thought you were dead.
>>280831840Their farts must be awful.
>>280831840So he eats with that mouth and not the dino mouth?
>>280849608yeah, you could have caught it in time.
>>280827694Even Meat is doing rolling savates now.
