Relationships[]

Mindpuzzleman[]

Mindpuzzleman sees Cubeman as a fellow puzzle chojin and destined nemesis. Both of them represent different types of puzzles, and Cubeman was the first one in a long time to challenge Mindpuzzleman as a fellow puzzle, and not as a wrestler. After their match, it seems like both of them became friends, since they were together cheering for Kinnikuman during his fight against Nemesis, and they also form a tag team during the Ultimate Chojin tag Tournament.

Kinnikuman[]

21st Chojin Olympic Arc[]

In the final preliminaries, Cubeman is the first Seigi Chojin to be loaded into the pachinko machine. [2] He is paired against Mindpuzzleman in Block B. [2]The match takes place in Koushien Field, but taks place in a secluded section outside the outfield. [3] Mindpuzzleman attacks first, but he tries to solve the cube puzzle on Cubeman's head. Cubeman retaliates, but - in turn - tries to solve the puzzle of Mindpuzzleman. He solves the puzzle very quickly and makes a speedy - yet anti-climatic - victory. [3]

The next match is against Wolfman, where they begin by staring each other down before a huge crowd. [4] Wolfman proceeds to leave a series of slaps to all of Cubeman's square parts, which causes them to swell and extend; the red sides are blood blisters, the yellow sides are pus, and the blue sides are bruises. Wolfman then uses a Double Crush, before tossing Cubeman out of the ring. He bounces like a ball, until an elderly person pops him with an umbrella, which causes him to explode and die. [4] However, he then reappears alive and well, giving his own comment on the result of the Olympics.
