The Prophecy Pages Burn! Soldier Disappears!! is Episode 28 of Yudetamago's anime series Kinnikuman: Scramble for the Throne.
Summary[]
Buffaloman makes the ultimate sacrifice, and Mammothman's return could mean the end of Soldier's existence!
Story[]
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix jumps out of the ring into a protective device and presses a button which sends the levitating ring rocketing back toward the arena with Soldier in tow! But Buffaloman catches the ring before it can crush Kinnikuman and the spectators below.
Buffaloman, with tears in his eyes, explains the history of the Buffalo Clan - how they went to war over who should hold the title of king, and how he is the sole survivor… For this reason, he begs Kinnikuman, Phoenix, and Soldier to fight fairly, and not make the same mistakes as his ancestors. They all agree. Buffaloman wraps his forehead with his headband, throws Soldier his arm braces, and, with his last ounce of strength, uses Hurricane Mixer to hoist the ring back into the sky. With that, Buffaloman plummets to his presumed death…
With all his teammates gone, Soldier takes on Phoenix one-on-one, unleashing the Muscle Revenger maneuver as well as The Ninja’s Spinning Back Skewering Technique, Ashuraman’s Chojin Izuna Drop, Brocken Jr.’s Red Rain of Berlin, and, using the arm bracers, Buffaloman’s Buffalo Hammer! Just as Phoenix looks to regain the upper hand, the Ninja’s purple scarf blinds him, allowing Soldier to hit a devastating elbow to the chest. Phoenix grabs a Double Arm Suplex, but articles of clothing belonging to Ashuraman and Brocken Jr. save Soldier from doom!
Soldier leaps off the top with a Flying Headbutt, but Mammothman reappears - he’s still alive… and he has the page from the Muscle Prophecy book! He begins to read it aloud, but Soldier lifts Phoenix into a Brainbuster. Mammothman crunches up the paper, and Soldier contorts in pain! Phoenix then commands Mammothman to toss the page into the fire which, according to Mayumi, means Ataru’s existence would be erased from history!
