Kinniku Buster (キン肉バスター Kinniku Basutaa), also known as Godokoro Jūrin Garami (五所蹂躙絡み), is Kinnikuman's trademark (and most popular) attack, and one of the 48 Killer Moves.
Details[]
First used during the fight with Warsman (Super Bear Gorōta in the anime). Kinnikuman places an opponent's neck on his shoulder and grabs their thighs. He then jumps up and lands in a sit-out position, causing damage to the neck, spine, and groin. His son Mantaro also uses this move.
Renamed "Butt Buster" for the first several episodes of the English Ultimate Muscle dub, until Mantaro reinstates its true and original name during his battle with Dial Bolic.
This move was invented by Prince Kamehame under the name Five Point Breaker Hold, however, he was unable to completely master it as Kinnikuman did so Prince Kamehame allowed Kinnikuman the privilege of renaming the technique.[1]
