Big the Budō (ビッグ・ザ・武道(ブドー)), who is the disguise of Neptune King (ネプチューンキング), was a member of the Perfect Large Numbers, before being stripped of the rank. He then became the leader of a group of chojin, wanting to emulate the true Perfect Chojin.

About[]

Big the Budo was originally Psychoman's pupil, until he was expelled for being too ambitious. He then became the leader of 1000 chojin, named them as the "true" Perfect Chojin. In recent times, he team up with Neptuneman to participate in the upcoming Tag Match Tournament, entering as the Hell Missionaries. There, they make an ashtoning debut by obliterating Screw Kid and Kendaman without mercy, and then win the fights against the Master/Student Combo and the 20 Million Power. In the finals against, first the Muscle Bothers, and then against the Machineguns, Big the Budo reveals his true identity as Neptune King, as well as showing his true self as a coward that just wants to win.

Personality[]

Neptune King is a cunning, manipulative and cowardly individual that was stripped of his Large Number position due to his behaviour. He tries to make himself look like an omnious and stoic figure that embodies what all Perfect Chojin should be like. At first, he maintains the facade of being subservient to Neptuneman, until it's revealed that the opposite is the case. He's quite arrogant and looks down upon the inferior Chojin.

He's a bit of a hypocrite regarding the Perfect Chojin rules, as seen when he uses one of the corners of the ring as a weapon, declaring that he only cares about winning.

Appearance[]

Big The Budō has a total of three disguises and four masks: Hell Missionary, Mildman, Big the Budo and Neptune King. The mask of his last disguise got shattered by a double Kinniku Buster and revealed that he looked like an older version of Neptuneman with a golden mask. This mask later got shattered by the winning Muscle Docking from Terryman and Kinnikuman, revealing an old face that looked almost as if he had been dead for a long time.

Relationships[]

Psychoman[]

Neptune King used to be the student of Psychoman until he grew too proud. Psychoman frowned upon this and kicked him out of the Perfect Large Numbers.

Neptuneman[]

Finding Quarrelman just as he tries to commit suicide, he offers him a mask to transform him into the ultimate wrestler: Neptuneman. After that, both of them enter the upcoming tag tournament, where their teamwork defeats the big shots of the Justice Chojin world. There, Neptuneman learns about Big the Budo a.k.a Neptune King's true colors, and turns against him.

Abilities[]

Big the Budo can manipulate electromagnetic forces in the Earth with his Neptune Mask. He knows judo, karate and kendo as well.

History[]

Prehistory[]

Neptune King was originally a student under the one of the original Perfect Chojin, Psychoman, who taught him how to use Magnet Power. Becoming a member of the Perfect Large Numbers, he eventually grew arrogant and was stripped of his rank by Psychoman. After this, Neptune King left with his group of subordinates, which he labelled as the main Perfect Chojin.

Having left the Perfect Large Numbers, Neptune King entered Chojin Tournaments within the mortal realm. However, he became disgusted as the competition shifted from strong vs. weak death matches into a commercialised sport. He then went into hibernation under in the River Thames. He remained there for millions of years until he was discovered by a Chōjin named Quarrelman. Quarrelman was trying to commit suicide by jumping into the river because he couldn't find any opponents strong enough to defeat him (even Robin Mask was too easy for him).

Together, the two of them plotted to bring the Chōjin competitions back to its bloody roots. The Neptune King gave Quarrelman his Neptune Mask, making him Neptuneman, and created a new Bōgu-clad identity for himself- Big the Budō.

Kinnikuman[]

Dream Chojin Tag Arc[]

He and Neptuneman entered the Universal Tag Team Tournament as the Hell Missionaries with the intention of stealing the masks of the Chojin champions and give them to their henchmen, so that 'Kinnikuman' and 'Robin Mask' would be their henchmen, if only in name. They appeared disguised at the beginning, revealing themselves to punish Screw Kid and Kendaman for their loss against the 20 Million Powers, Buffaloman and Mongolman.

Screw Kid decides to defend his honor by facing Big the Budo, attacking his with his screw hands and knees, managing to penetrate Budo's armor, just for him to grab his arms, and disintegrate Screw Kid by overcharging him with power. After this, his whole armor crumbles, revealing his "true" form behind it, looking like a kendo practitioner.

They faced the Chojin Master-Student team of Robin Mask and Warsman, who they beat and stole their masks. In the next round, they fought the 20 Million Powers, ultimately defeating them and unmasking Mongolman to reveal Ramenman. In the final round, they fought the Muscle Brothers, Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Great (Terryman in disguise), in a three-round match. In the first round, He and Neptuneman won by Cross Bomber, revealing Kinnikuman Great to be Terryman, who had taken the role after the real Great, Prince Kamehame, died.

They lost, however, to Kinnikuman and Terry in the next rounds, when Big began using the swords in the 'Sword Floor Death Match' he designed. This caused Neptuneman to turn on him, as using weapons was against the rules of Perfect Chojin.

Scramble for the Throne Arc[]

When the Five Evil Gods discussed Kinnikuman's growth in power, one of them revealed the corpse of Neptune King as testament to it, with several of the Gods remarking how unbelievable it was for the 50,000,000 power Perfect Chojin to be defeated by Kinnikuman.

Kinnikuman Nisei[]

Prehistory[]

A character appearing to be Big the Budo is seen in flashbacks concerning the d.M.p's training, suggesting that he was one of the founders, as head of the Perfect Chojin division, similar to how Sunshine was head of the Devil Chojin division. This may have been Strong the Budo but newer info prove this false on strong being involved.

Techniques[]

Megaton King Drop (メガトン・キング落とし, Megaton Kingu Otoshi)
