  +
 
'''Asuraman''' ([[wikipedia:ja:アシュラマン|アシュラマン]]) is a fictional character who made several appearances during the superhuman wrestling manga [[Kinnikuman]]. He had six arms and three interchangeable faces. He was also a prince from the Demon Realm. He is named after the Hindu-Buddhist warlike deities, the [[wikipedia:Asura (Buddhism)|Asura]] (阿修羅 ''Ashura'') and also after wrestler [http://prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Ashura_Hara Ashura Hara].

=='''Story'''==
  +
 
=== '''Kinnikuman''' ===
  +
 
==== [[Golden Mask Arc|'''Golden Mask Arc''']] ====
  +
Asuraman, with his distinctive six arms and three faces, initially appeared as one of the Devil Knights, Akuma Choujin who stole the sacred Golden Mask of the Kinniku Clan. He first fought [[Terryman]] in the Five Story Ring battles inside [[Warsman]]'s unconscious body. In this fight he introduced a new version of the Kinniku Buster: the '''Asura Buster'''. If Terry were to have gone through even one Asura Buster, his body would've been pulled apart. Luckily, Kinnikuman jumped into the ring and cushioned the blow. Terry then broke off Asuraman's top two arms, causing his own arms to be on the verge of falling off.
  +
  +
It is here that Asuraman reveals his ability to regenerate his arms by stealing the arms of others. As soon as Terry's arms fell off, they appeared on Asuraman. He tired a second Asura Buster on Terry, but Geronimo's tomahawk's (protruding through the ring above for Terry to grab) and [[Buffaloman]]'s arms (which suddenly appeared on Terry) put a stop to it. The fight eventually went out of the ring and, after Terry restarted Warsman's heart, they scramble to make it back to the ring before being counted out. With his last ounce of strength, Terry used Buffaloman's arms to stop Asuraman from reentering the ring, causing the match to end in a double count-out.
  +
  +
Because of this, he was the sole surviving Devil Knight when Akuma Shogun was revived, and when they both left Warsman's body, Asuraman engages Kinnikuman soon afterwards, and was soon defeated by an incomplete Kinniku Driver. As punishment for his defeat, Akuma Shogun decapitates Asuraman with his sword, and Asuraman merges with his master's being like the others.
  +
  +
==== [[Dream Chojin Tag Arc|'''Dream Chojin Tag Arc''']] ====
  +
[[File:Asuraman-0.png|thumb|left]]Asuraman, as a part of the [[Stray Akuma Chojin Combo]] with [[Sunshine]], takes part to the Dream Chojin Tag Tournament. The two demons, last survivors of the [[Golden Mask Arc]] concoct a plan to steal the Friendship Power of the [[Seigi Chojin]] by using some cursed dolls.
  +
  +
They manage to steal the very emotion of friendship among the [[Seigi Chojin]], greatly weakening them, as a Seigi Chojin can't fight without friendship in his heart.
  +
  +
As such, Asuraman and Sunshine are able to beat effortlessly the [[Big Bombers]] and the [[New Machineguns]], in the process turning the former friends [[Kinnikuman]] and [[Terryman]] against each other.
  +
  +
While during the fight against the [[New Machineguns]] [[Sunshine]] begins to believe in the power of friendship, Asuraman keeps holding to his ideal as an uncaring, evil fiend, and by observing how the attempts made by [[Kinnikuman]] and [[Kinnikuman Great]] to save [[Geronimo]] and [[Terryman]] ended up in their cursed doll being broken, he claims the breaks are parts of a prophecy, and uses Sunshine's Cursed Roller to injure his foes where the dolls were broken: Geronimo ends up with a badly shattered right arm, and Terryman is forced to surrender his Star Emblems, or get Geronimo killed and himself decapitated.
  +
  +
The prophecy comes to pass in a roundabout way: [[Prince Kamehame]], the former Kinnikuman Great, succumbs because of the strain of helping the [[New Machineguns]] and ''decapitates'' [[Terryman]], giving him the [[Kinnikuman Great]] to allow him fight with [[Kinnikuman]] even if he lacks the Star Emblems and [[Kinnikuman]] now despises him.
  +
  +
During the fight between the [[Muscle Brothers]] and the [[Stray Akuma Chojin Combo]] [[Asuraman]] is exposed to the Friendship power: he witnesses Kinnikuman and Terryman starting to mend their friendship, and sees [[Sunshine]] caring for him and even apologising when the Cursed Roller ends up tearing off his right arms.
  +
  +
Asuraman tries to still act cold and uncaring, but when Prince Kamehame's arm, who used as a replacement, rebels to his will and leads to his defeat, starts believing in Friendship too, sharing with Sunshine the memories of [[Satan Cross|Samson Teacher]]
  +
  +
He's then taken back to his kingdom to be healed, but escapes, still bandaged, to restore [[Terryman]]'s Star Emblem and ask [[Harabote Muscle]] to reinstate [[The Machineguns]] as a team and allow them to fight together against the [[Hell Missionnaires]].
  +
  +
In the Hell Kingdom, his mother rationalises his discovery of friendship by claiming Asuraman found the [[Perfect Chojin]] a better target for his hatred than the [[Seigi Chojin]].
  +
  +
==== '''Secret Story of the Choujin Blood Oath Brigade's Formation!''' ====
  +
This story covered the formation of [[Ataru Kinniku|Kinnikuman Soldier]]'s team in detail. [[Brocken Jr.]] and Buffaloman want to join Soldier's team, but Asuraman and [[The Ninja]] aren't on board with that idea. According to Asuraman, Buffaloman is too easily swayed by his emotions, which is why he never became a Devil Knight despite having exceptional talent.
  +
  +
Kinnikuman Soldier shows up and interrupted Asuraman and The Ninja's departure. In response, The Ninja attempts to read Kinnikuman Soldier's mind with his Expose the Heart jutsu, but there's nothing to read. Unlike the other Fated Princes, Soldier has no ambition to destroy his opponents and take over the throne.
  +
  +
Asuraman gets into a fight against Soldier, but Soldier easily fends him off. Soldier even escaped the Asura Buster in a similar fashion to Kinnikuman and counters with a Dragon Cube Suplex. Buffaloman deduces why Soldier would pick those four. Pride is their main characteristic. According to Asuraman, "all four chojin are bull headed guys who won't listen to anyone".
  +
  +
Asuraman asks if Soldier is a fake Soldier and Soldier confirms this theory. He ambushed the real Soldier's team while they were training near Mt. Fuji and stole the real Soldier's mask. The fake Soldier explains that he joined the tournament because the Friendship Power the Justice Chojin use is a sham and that the pride that they share can bring out their true strength.
  +
  +
Asuraman wants Soldier to prove why this team of outcasts would make an excellent team. Soldier tells him to be silent. A real man would never talk so much. Instead, he'd silently watch the result with his own eyes. Asuraman follows up with his Tornado Hell, but Soldier dodges, causing the building already worn down by the Rolling Cube Suplex to collapse on top of them. Soldier heals them all with a Face Flash. With this act, Soldier convinced them to join his team for the upcoming tournament.
  +
 
==== '''Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne''' ====
 
Asuraman appeared again, reformed, as a member of Kinnikuman Soldier's team during the survivor series to determine the new ruler of planet Kinniku. He fights his former trainer Samson Teacher, now Satan Cross, to avenge his friend The Ninja and ended the match in a draw, and watched as the remaining team members were defeated by Super Phoenix and his men in the Cube Match, leaving him the sole survivor. Later, when he and Kinnikuman's team ventured to the final arena, Super Phoenix activated a spiked ceiling trap to kill them all. However, Asuraman sacrificed himself by holding the ceiling up long enough for Team Kinnikuman to escape, and was impaled. He was later revived by Suguru's Face Flash along with the rest of Kinnikuman Soldier's team.

===[[Kinnikuman Nisei|'''Kinnikuman Nisei''']]===
  +
The Demon Seed reveal there are General Palasts across Japan, and - after using tentacles to kidnap the Army of Idols - take their individual opponents to their specific Palasts. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 226</ref> The General Palast breaks into five pieces, with each Death-Match Room going to the new locations. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 227</ref> Asuraman first appears on the Ganryu Islands, Yamaguchi. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 248</ref> The final palast is a ring with a rib-cage that encases the exterior, which forms to become General Rib. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 249</ref> He exudes enough power to induce terror in the [[Seigi Chojin]]. <ref name=":0">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 250</ref>
  +
  +
He is in the process of regeneration, as the tag-team with [[B-Evolutions]] ([[Mars]] & [[Kevin Mask]]) starts. [[Voltman]] works alongside him to form [[The Demolitions]]. [[Mantaro Kinniku]] notices that Asuraman is struggling and weak, and that Voltman fights to distract the B-Evolutions from Asuraman. <ref name=":0" /> Once his regeneration is complete, he flees the ring to land on the statues of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasaki_Kojir%C5%8D#Duel_with_Miyamoto_Musashi Musashi and Kujiro]. <ref name=":1">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 251</ref> He possess the Musashi statue, until it contorts and transforms and he bursts forth in his true form of Asuraman. <ref name=":1" />
  +
  +
The General Stone is sucked into his chest. <ref name=":2">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 252</ref> Asuraman rejects [[Sunshine]]'s offer to team-up, as he returns to the ring in order to fight. He reveals he also grew old, but the power of the General Stone '''restored his youth'''. It will be his first match in 34 years. They begin the fight in earnest, exchanging a series of blows. <ref name=":2" />
  +
  +
Asuraman uses psychological tactics to torment Kevin. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 253</ref> He manages to gain an advantage and incapacitate Kevin Mask. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 254</ref> Kevin regains enough strength to knock Asuraman from the ring, using a combination attack from Mars, and this infuriates Asuraman. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 256</ref> He changes his face into one of rage, as he dives into the ring and attacks Mars (who uses his Mask of Madness). <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 257</ref> When Mars uses his Ultimate Mars Buster, Asuraman breaks his teeth to change the shape of his head, which allows him to escape. <ref name=":3">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 248</ref> He proceeds to use the Ultimate Asuraman Buster. <ref name=":3" /> After Mars dies, Voltman and Asuraman proceed to flee to the last palast, where they await their final match against Kevin Mask and [[Mantaro Kinniku]]. <ref name=":3" />
  +
  +
Together, Asuraman and Voltman bring forth all the palasts. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 261</ref>
  +
  +
The last palast emerges at the Osore Mountain at the Shimokita Peninsula, and they reveal it is the place of the Demon Womb, where they seek to resurrect [[General Terror]]. <ref name=":4">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 262</ref> They attach Meat's body parts to General Terror's statue, and reveal if Mantaro and Kevin are late that Meat will be absorbed into General Terror. <ref name=":4" /> At the appointed time, they mock Kevin and Mantaro for being late, but both arrive just three minutes before the deadline. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapters 267-268</ref> The ring to the Demon Womb is on top of a column of deceased Muscle League members. <ref name=":5">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 270</ref>
  +
  +
Asuraman levitates Meat's torso, arms and legs into a sac filled with fluid: demon amino. It will change Meat into General Terror, should the [[The Young Masters]] lose their match or not win within the hour. <ref name=":5" /> After Mantaro changes costumes, it triggers a flashback in Asuraman, as he remembers training his son and being with his family - he demands Sunshine ring the bell for the match. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 271</ref> Asuraman starts strong, as Mantaro refuses to tag out and allow Kevin Mask to fight. <ref name=":6">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 272</ref> After Mantaro and Kevin bicker amongst themselves, The Demolitions counter against Mantaro with a Demolition German Suplex. <ref name=":6" />
  +
  +
This triggers Kevin Mask and Mantaro to work together. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 273</ref>
  +
  +
After Kevin Mask dies, after defeating Voltman, it leaves Mantaro to fight Asuraman alone. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 279</ref> Asuraman changes his face to Asuraman: Cold-Blooded. <ref name=":7">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 280</ref> He proceeds to removed Voltman's General Stone, which kills Voltman, and Mantaro is left with 35 minutes to stop Asuraman. Mantaro manages to snap Asuraman's neck, partially decapitating him, but Asuraman revives and puts his head back into place and employs a Nirvana Twist against Mantaro. <ref name=":7" />
  +
  +
The support of Kinnikuman for Mantaro triggers a series of flashbacks:
  +
  +
It is revealed that - after the [[Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne Arc]] - that Asuraman married [[Ivonne]], and that between them they bore a son named [[Shiva]]. <ref name=":8">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 281</ref> He is shown to be a doting father, as he trains his son about mind over matter, and that they trained together as a family. <ref name=":8" /> We see that Shiva grew to be a ruthless fighter, even attacking unconscious opponents, much to Asuraman's dismay. <ref name=":9">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 282</ref> Shiva later uncovered blood-soaked items, kept by Asuraman to remember his past as an akuma chojin, and becomes fascinated with the concept of evil. <ref name=":10">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 283</ref> When Shiva seems to neglect his training, Asuraman goes into his room and uncovers dismembered insects and dead poultry bleeding in his closet. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 284</ref>
  +
  +
We then see that Shiva murdered Ivonne. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 285</ref>
  +
  +
Shiva feigns regret, but blames Asuraman for the evil blood that courses through his veins and uses this as the reason for his murder of his mother. <ref name=":11">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 286</ref> Asuraman then kills his son, in his grief and desire for retribution.<ref name=":12">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 287</ref> As a result of this, he returned to his ways as an Akuma Chojin and joined General Terror and the Demon Seeds.
  +
  +
The match continues, as Asuraman allows Mantaro a moment of reprieve in order to extend the match and gain further gratification from his pain. <ref name=":8" /> Asuraman then proceeds to employ the Battle Hardened Bone Knee Lock, which exposes the bones of his knees and clamp them around Mantaro's feet like a padlock, before ramming him into the mat. <ref name=":8" /> Mantaro manages to regain an advantage, culminating in the Power Bomb Position, but this causes the ring to shake and Meat's leg to fall closer to the Demon Amino. <ref name=":9" /> Asuraman then proceeds to slice off his own leg. <ref name=":10" /> He begs [[General Terror]] for help and is granted a prosthetic leg made of crystal. <ref name=":10" />
  +
  +
Asuraman lands several strong attacks, but Mantaro - after strengthening his bond with his father, after a momentary break of trust - employs an Evil Flesh Strike. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 285-286</ref> Asuraman begins a mental breakdown, as he remembers his son, which allows Mantaro a further edge in battle. <ref name=":11" /> The battle turns again, as Mantaro is seemingly incapacitated with an Ultimate Asuraman Buster. <ref name=":12" /> This is followed with a Funeral Prayer, which is enough to force Mantaro admit he is afraid. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 290</ref> Mantaro's confession reminds Asuraman of his deceased son, allowing him to become distracted, and giving Mantaro a chance to counter the move, as he counters with a Muscle G. <ref>Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 290-291</ref>
  +
  +
At 58 minutes, Asuraman is defeated and falls from the ring. <ref name=":13">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 291</ref>[[File:O0480031213227750013.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Sunshine and Asuraman's reunion]]
  +
  +
General Terror is revived, and Asuraman - from outside the ring - reveals that the only thing that can damage General Terror's body is a part of his body. <ref name=":14">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 292</ref> Asuraman forfeits his leg, made of General Terror's body, and uses that to slice off General Terror's head, preventing him from using Meat's head as his own. Asuraman says that they are obliged to follow rules, even if they are evil, and that General Terror is breaking the rules. <ref name=":14" /> It is revealed that - in his old age - Asuraman made a pact with Genera Terror to regain his youth, and Genera Terror asks whether Asuraman made a mistake in speaking against him, asking him to again pledge his allegiance: Asuraman refuses to join him. <ref name=":15">Kinnikuman Nisei: Chapter 293</ref> When Asuraman continues to say that even [[Akuma Chojin]] must fight fair, to properly prove their dominance, General Terror removes his general stone. <ref name=":15" /> Asuraman returns to his elderly and frail form.
  +
  +
General Terror fades away and dies soon after.
  +
  +
As Asuraman is alone, Sunshine returns to him and says: "there is friendship even among devils". <ref name=":15" /> Sunshine helps Asuraman to leave the crumbling arena, as he promises him to be friends no matter what and to always be there for him, and it is assumed they escape the arena in safety. <ref name=":15" />

'''Battle Hardened Bone Knee Lock'''
===Golden Mask Arc===
 
  +
* Asuraman exposes the bones of his knees and clamps them around his opponent's feet like a padlock, before ramming theminto the mat.
Asuraman, with his distinctive six arms and three faces, initially appeared as one of the Devil Knights, Akuma Choujin who stole the sacred Golden Mask of the Kinniku Clan. He first fought [[Terryman]] in the Five Story Ring battles inside [[Warsman]]'s unconscious body. In this fight he introduced a new version of the Kinniku Buster: the '''Asura Buster'''. If Terry were to have gone through even one Asura Buster, his body would've been pulled apart. Luckily, Kinnikuman jumped into the ring and cushioned the blow. Terry then broke off Asuraman's top two arms, causing his own arms to be on the verge of falling off. It is here that Asuraman reveals his ability to regenerate his arms by stealing the arms of others. As soon as Terry's arms fell off, they appeared on Asuraman. He tired a second Asura Buster on Terry, but Geronimo's tomohawk's (protruding through the ring above for Terry to grab) and [[Buffaloman]]'s arms (which suddenly appeared on Terry) put a stop to it. The fight eventually went out of the ring and, after Terry restarted Warsman's heart, they scramble to make it back to the ring before being counted out. With his last ounce of strength, Terry used Buffaloman's arms to stop Asuraman from reentering the ring, causing the match to end in a double count-out. Because of this, he was the sole surviving Devil Knight when Akuma Shogun was revived, and when they both left Warsman's body, Ashuraman engages Kinnikuman soon afterwards, and was soon defeated by an incomplete Kinniku Driver. As punishment for his defeat, Akuma Shogun decapitates Ashuraman with his sword, and Ashuraman merges with his master's being like the others.

Soon after the conclusion of the Survival Match, Asuraman got married to his wife Ivonne, and they had a son, Shiva. From his birth, Asuraman trained Shiva to be a Seigi Chojin, but all of that changed when Shiva accidentally discovered his father's past as an Akuma Chojin, wakening his dark side. This ultimately led to Shiva killing his own mother, and Asuraman killing his son in pure grief. As a result of this, he returned to his ways as an Akuma Chojin and joined General Terror and the Demon Seeds, splitting Meat into 6 parts and holding him hostage; in order to recover a body part, a Seigi Chojin must defeat one of the Akuma Chojin. After 4 of the Demon Seeds were defeated by their Seigi Chojin counterparts, Asuraman reveals himself and engages Mantaro and Kevin Mask in a tag team match alongside fellow Demon Seed VoltMan. After both Kevin and Voltman died, Asuraman fights Mantaro, but was eventually defeated. When General Terror tried to revive himself anyway with Meat's final part, his head, Asuraman surprisingly stopped the ritual, stating that even in battle, Seigi and Akuma Chojin must accept the agreements of their fight. As punishment, General Terror takes away Asuraman's youth and turns him into a withered old man. Asuraman was soon helped out of the Demon's Womb by Sunshine.

Revision as of 16:25, 16 June 2019

Asuraman appears initially as Kinnikuman's antagonist. 

About

Asuraman (アシュラマン) is a fictional character who made several appearances during the superhuman wrestling manga Kinnikuman. He had six arms and three interchangeable faces. He was also a prince from the Demon Realm. He is named after the Hindu-Buddhist warlike deities, the Asura (阿修羅 Ashura) and also after wrestler Ashura Hara.

Story

Kinnikuman

Golden Mask Arc

Asuraman, with his distinctive six arms and three faces, initially appeared as one of the Devil Knights, Akuma Choujin who stole the sacred Golden Mask of the Kinniku Clan. He first fought Terryman in the Five Story Ring battles inside Warsman's unconscious body. In this fight he introduced a new version of the Kinniku Buster: the Asura Buster. If Terry were to have gone through even one Asura Buster, his body would've been pulled apart. Luckily, Kinnikuman jumped into the ring and cushioned the blow. Terry then broke off Asuraman's top two arms, causing his own arms to be on the verge of falling off.

It is here that Asuraman reveals his ability to regenerate his arms by stealing the arms of others. As soon as Terry's arms fell off, they appeared on Asuraman. He tired a second Asura Buster on Terry, but Geronimo's tomahawk's (protruding through the ring above for Terry to grab) and Buffaloman's arms (which suddenly appeared on Terry) put a stop to it. The fight eventually went out of the ring and, after Terry restarted Warsman's heart, they scramble to make it back to the ring before being counted out. With his last ounce of strength, Terry used Buffaloman's arms to stop Asuraman from reentering the ring, causing the match to end in a double count-out.

Because of this, he was the sole surviving Devil Knight when Akuma Shogun was revived, and when they both left Warsman's body, Asuraman engages Kinnikuman soon afterwards, and was soon defeated by an incomplete Kinniku Driver. As punishment for his defeat, Akuma Shogun decapitates Asuraman with his sword, and Asuraman merges with his master's being like the others.

Dream Chojin Tag Arc

Asuraman-0

Asuraman, as a part of the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo with Sunshine, takes part to the Dream Chojin Tag Tournament. The two demons, last survivors of the Golden Mask Arc concoct a plan to steal the Friendship Power of the Seigi Chojin by using some cursed dolls.

They manage to steal the very emotion of friendship among the Seigi Chojin, greatly weakening them, as a Seigi Chojin can't fight without friendship in his heart.

As such, Asuraman and Sunshine are able to beat effortlessly the Big Bombers and the New Machineguns, in the process turning the former friends Kinnikuman and Terryman against each other.

While during the fight against the New Machineguns Sunshine begins to believe in the power of friendship, Asuraman keeps holding to his ideal as an uncaring, evil fiend, and by observing how the attempts made by Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Great to save Geronimo and Terryman ended up in their cursed doll being broken, he claims the breaks are parts of a prophecy, and uses Sunshine's Cursed Roller to injure his foes where the dolls were broken: Geronimo ends up with a badly shattered right arm, and Terryman is forced to surrender his Star Emblems, or get Geronimo killed and himself decapitated.

The prophecy comes to pass in a roundabout way: Prince Kamehame, the former Kinnikuman Great, succumbs because of the strain of helping the New Machineguns and decapitates Terryman, giving him the Kinnikuman Great to allow him fight with Kinnikuman even if he lacks the Star Emblems and Kinnikuman now despises him.

During the fight between the Muscle Brothers and the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo Asuraman is exposed to the Friendship power: he witnesses Kinnikuman and Terryman starting to mend their friendship, and sees Sunshine caring for him and even apologising when the Cursed Roller ends up tearing off his right arms.

Asuraman tries to still act cold and uncaring, but when Prince Kamehame's arm, who used as a replacement, rebels to his will and leads to his defeat, starts believing in Friendship too, sharing with Sunshine the memories of Samson Teacher

He's then taken back to his kingdom to be healed, but escapes, still bandaged, to restore Terryman's Star Emblem and ask Harabote Muscle to reinstate The Machineguns as a team and allow them to fight together against the Hell Missionnaires.

In the Hell Kingdom, his mother rationalises his discovery of friendship by claiming Asuraman found the Perfect Chojin a better target for his hatred than the Seigi Chojin.

Secret Story of the Choujin Blood Oath Brigade's Formation!

This story covered the formation of Kinnikuman Soldier's team in detail. Brocken Jr. and Buffaloman want to join Soldier's team, but Asuraman and The Ninja aren't on board with that idea. According to Asuraman, Buffaloman is too easily swayed by his emotions, which is why he never became a Devil Knight despite having exceptional talent.

Kinnikuman Soldier shows up and interrupted Asuraman and The Ninja's departure. In response, The Ninja attempts to read Kinnikuman Soldier's mind with his Expose the Heart jutsu, but there's nothing to read. Unlike the other Fated Princes, Soldier has no ambition to destroy his opponents and take over the throne.

Asuraman gets into a fight against Soldier, but Soldier easily fends him off. Soldier even escaped the Asura Buster in a similar fashion to Kinnikuman and counters with a Dragon Cube Suplex. Buffaloman deduces why Soldier would pick those four. Pride is their main characteristic. According to Asuraman, "all four chojin are bull headed guys who won't listen to anyone".

Asuraman asks if Soldier is a fake Soldier and Soldier confirms this theory. He ambushed the real Soldier's team while they were training near Mt. Fuji and stole the real Soldier's mask. The fake Soldier explains that he joined the tournament because the Friendship Power the Justice Chojin use is a sham and that the pride that they share can bring out their true strength.

Asuraman wants Soldier to prove why this team of outcasts would make an excellent team. Soldier tells him to be silent. A real man would never talk so much. Instead, he'd silently watch the result with his own eyes. Asuraman follows up with his Tornado Hell, but Soldier dodges, causing the building already worn down by the Rolling Cube Suplex to collapse on top of them. Soldier heals them all with a Face Flash. With this act, Soldier convinced them to join his team for the upcoming tournament.

Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne

Asuraman appeared again, reformed, as a member of Kinnikuman Soldier's team during the survivor series to determine the new ruler of planet Kinniku. He fights his former trainer Samson Teacher, now Satan Cross, to avenge his friend The Ninja and ended the match in a draw, and watched as the remaining team members were defeated by Super Phoenix and his men in the Cube Match, leaving him the sole survivor. Later, when he and Kinnikuman's team ventured to the final arena, Super Phoenix activated a spiked ceiling trap to kill them all. However, Asuraman sacrificed himself by holding the ceiling up long enough for Team Kinnikuman to escape, and was impaled. He was later revived by Suguru's Face Flash along with the rest of Kinnikuman Soldier's team.

Kinnikuman Nisei

The Demon Seed reveal there are General Palasts across Japan, and - after using tentacles to kidnap the Army of Idols - take their individual opponents to their specific Palasts. [2] The General Palast breaks into five pieces, with each Death-Match Room going to the new locations. [3] Asuraman first appears on the Ganryu Islands, Yamaguchi. [4] The final palast is a ring with a rib-cage that encases the exterior, which forms to become General Rib. [5] He exudes enough power to induce terror in the Seigi Chojin. [6]

He is in the process of regeneration, as the tag-team with B-Evolutions (Mars & Kevin Mask) starts. Voltman works alongside him to form The Demolitions. Mantaro Kinniku notices that Asuraman is struggling and weak, and that Voltman fights to distract the B-Evolutions from Asuraman. [6] Once his regeneration is complete, he flees the ring to land on the statues of Musashi and Kujiro. [7] He possess the Musashi statue, until it contorts and transforms and he bursts forth in his true form of Asuraman. [7]

The General Stone is sucked into his chest. [8] Asuraman rejects Sunshine's offer to team-up, as he returns to the ring in order to fight. He reveals he also grew old, but the power of the General Stone restored his youth. It will be his first match in 34 years. They begin the fight in earnest, exchanging a series of blows. [8]

Asuraman uses psychological tactics to torment Kevin. [9] He manages to gain an advantage and incapacitate Kevin Mask. [10] Kevin regains enough strength to knock Asuraman from the ring, using a combination attack from Mars, and this infuriates Asuraman. [11] He changes his face into one of rage, as he dives into the ring and attacks Mars (who uses his Mask of Madness). [12] When Mars uses his Ultimate Mars Buster, Asuraman breaks his teeth to change the shape of his head, which allows him to escape. [13] He proceeds to use the Ultimate Asuraman Buster. [13] After Mars dies, Voltman and Asuraman proceed to flee to the last palast, where they await their final match against Kevin Mask and Mantaro Kinniku. [13]

Together, Asuraman and Voltman bring forth all the palasts. [14]

The last palast emerges at the Osore Mountain at the Shimokita Peninsula, and they reveal it is the place of the Demon Womb, where they seek to resurrect General Terror. [15] They attach Meat's body parts to General Terror's statue, and reveal if Mantaro and Kevin are late that Meat will be absorbed into General Terror. [15] At the appointed time, they mock Kevin and Mantaro for being late, but both arrive just three minutes before the deadline. [16] The ring to the Demon Womb is on top of a column of deceased Muscle League members. [17]

Asuraman levitates Meat's torso, arms and legs into a sac filled with fluid: demon amino. It will change Meat into General Terror, should the The Young Masters lose their match or not win within the hour. [17] After Mantaro changes costumes, it triggers a flashback in Asuraman, as he remembers training his son and being with his family - he demands Sunshine ring the bell for the match. [18] Asuraman starts strong, as Mantaro refuses to tag out and allow Kevin Mask to fight. [19] After Mantaro and Kevin bicker amongst themselves, The Demolitions counter against Mantaro with a Demolition German Suplex. [19]

This triggers Kevin Mask and Mantaro to work together. [20]

After Kevin Mask dies, after defeating Voltman, it leaves Mantaro to fight Asuraman alone. [21] Asuraman changes his face to Asuraman: Cold-Blooded. [22] He proceeds to removed Voltman's General Stone, which kills Voltman, and Mantaro is left with 35 minutes to stop Asuraman. Mantaro manages to snap Asuraman's neck, partially decapitating him, but Asuraman revives and puts his head back into place and employs a Nirvana Twist against Mantaro. [22]

The support of Kinnikuman for Mantaro triggers a series of flashbacks:

It is revealed that - after the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne Arc - that Asuraman married Ivonne, and that between them they bore a son named Shiva. [23] He is shown to be a doting father, as he trains his son about mind over matter, and that they trained together as a family. [23] We see that Shiva grew to be a ruthless fighter, even attacking unconscious opponents, much to Asuraman's dismay. [24] Shiva later uncovered blood-soaked items, kept by Asuraman to remember his past as an akuma chojin, and becomes fascinated with the concept of evil. [25] When Shiva seems to neglect his training, Asuraman goes into his room and uncovers dismembered insects and dead poultry bleeding in his closet. [26]

We then see that Shiva murdered Ivonne. [27]

Shiva feigns regret, but blames Asuraman for the evil blood that courses through his veins and uses this as the reason for his murder of his mother. [28] Asuraman then kills his son, in his grief and desire for retribution.[29] As a result of this, he returned to his ways as an Akuma Chojin and joined General Terror and the Demon Seeds.

The match continues, as Asuraman allows Mantaro a moment of reprieve in order to extend the match and gain further gratification from his pain. [23] Asuraman then proceeds to employ the Battle Hardened Bone Knee Lock, which exposes the bones of his knees and clamp them around Mantaro's feet like a padlock, before ramming him into the mat. [23] Mantaro manages to regain an advantage, culminating in the Power Bomb Position, but this causes the ring to shake and Meat's leg to fall closer to the Demon Amino. [24] Asuraman then proceeds to slice off his own leg. [25] He begs General Terror for help and is granted a prosthetic leg made of crystal. [25]

Asuraman lands several strong attacks, but Mantaro - after strengthening his bond with his father, after a momentary break of trust - employs an Evil Flesh Strike. [30] Asuraman begins a mental breakdown, as he remembers his son, which allows Mantaro a further edge in battle. [28] The battle turns again, as Mantaro is seemingly incapacitated with an Ultimate Asuraman Buster. [29] This is followed with a Funeral Prayer, which is enough to force Mantaro admit he is afraid. [31] Mantaro's confession reminds Asuraman of his deceased son, allowing him to become distracted, and giving Mantaro a chance to counter the move, as he counters with a Muscle G. [32]

At 58 minutes, Asuraman is defeated and falls from the ring. [33]

Sunshine and Asuraman's reunion

General Terror is revived, and Asuraman - from outside the ring - reveals that the only thing that can damage General Terror's body is a part of his body. [34] Asuraman forfeits his leg, made of General Terror's body, and uses that to slice off General Terror's head, preventing him from using Meat's head as his own. Asuraman says that they are obliged to follow rules, even if they are evil, and that General Terror is breaking the rules. [34] It is revealed that - in his old age - Asuraman made a pact with Genera Terror to regain his youth, and Genera Terror asks whether Asuraman made a mistake in speaking against him, asking him to again pledge his allegiance: Asuraman refuses to join him. [35] When Asuraman continues to say that even Akuma Chojin must fight fair, to properly prove their dominance, General Terror removes his general stone. [35] Asuraman returns to his elderly and frail form.

General Terror fades away and dies soon after.

As Asuraman is alone, Sunshine returns to him and says: "there is friendship even among devils". [35] Sunshine helps Asuraman to leave the crumbling arena, as he promises him to be friends no matter what and to always be there for him, and it is assumed they escape the arena in safety. [35]
