Personality[]

Because the hard and dangerous life he had. Mariposa is a cunning and smart warrior, that has little to no remorse for comitting vicious or evil acts, if he can have profit of it. Despite this, he is still a Justice Chojin at heart, and is willing to help people in need.

Appearance[]

Mariposa is dressed in a typical luchador outfit and mask with a blue and white pattern. This coloration was changed to black and purple in the Scramble for the Throne adaptation. He has a darker skin tone, in comparison to the other Fated Princes.

History[]

Prehistory[]

The future Kinnikuman Mariposa was born on the same day and in the same hospital as Kinnikuman and four other young boys, but because of a fire the children were mixed up and the true heir of their home planet may have been misplaced. [2] He grew up in poverty with very little possessions, which left him with a bitter resentment to chojin with more prestigious backgrounds. [3] He thus became a thief targeting only those rich families. [3]

His family moved to Planet Moctezuma (モクテスマ星, Mokutesuma-sei), a planet with an atmosphere so thin its inhabitants were forced to wear oxygen masks. [4] Because of this, he grew up with a tough heart and amazing jumping abilities, and because he also grew up poor, he soon turned to a life of theft. [4]

While living as a thief, he stole the Robin Family heirloom, the Anoalo Staff (アノアロの杖). [5] It was stolen from Robin Mask's hand, as he played in the garden as a child, because Mariposa believed he would get more use from it, than would be served by it remaining a decorative heirloom. [3]

Deep of Muscle 10[]

George and his family had to move to Mexico due to their poverty. There, his father died at a mine, when he was trying to save his fellow workers. Then, to bring money to his sick mother, George joins a local band of robbers, but the leaders of it just wanted to use his superhuman strength to serve as a decoy while they were robbing in a factory.

This, however, doesn’t have the expected results, since George manages to defeat all the guards, and returns home with food. But sadly, her mother had passed away, and he now has to escape from the police.

Taking his little brother, John, with him, both of them enter a spaceship and go to Planet Moctezuma. Little by little, they became two famous thieves that not only steal in their city, but also they ocasionally travel to Earth to steal (like when he stole the Anoalo Staff from Robin Mask).

However, his brother John ended up dying at the hands of Greco, the son of a rich person that George and John rob at some point. George kills him, avenging his little brother. At that moment, the God of Flight appears and granted him the opportunity to be the King of Planet Kinniku.

Deep of Muscle 4[]

Trying to find a new member to his team, he founds Mixer Taitei, and ask him to enter his team for the Survivor Match. Mixer was unconvinced at first, but after hearing that Mariposa will use him as his personal mixer once he wins the throne, he decides to enter his team. After the other three members have introduced themselves, they party before the tournament.

Kinnikuman[]

Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne Arc[]

Prehistory[]

After Kinnikuman had proven himself worthy to become the next king of his home planet, five evil gods sought out the other potential heirs and gave them great chojin power to become the Five Fated Princes, who all claimed to be the true heir. [2] Mariposa was chosen by the God of Flight (飛翔の神, Hishou no Kami). [6] A tournament is organized to determine who is worthy of ascending the throne.

Kinnikuman is granted a white cape, which must be stained with the blood of his five opponents, and each of these six potential princes - including Kinnikuman - must forge a team of five people to fight to prove their worth. [7] Mariposa is assigned Kumamoto Castle in the first round, where his team is set to fight against Kinnikuman's team. [8] He reveals his teammates: Hawkman, King the 100-Ton, Mixer Taitei, and Mister VTR. Kinnikuman's team will presently consist of simply himself and Meat Alexandria. [8]

Mariposa watches the matches between Kinnikuman and Hawkman, Mister VTR, and Mixer Taitei. [9]

Mariposa vs. Robin Mask[]

After Meat fights against Mixer Taitei, Robin Mask and Terryman arrive to stop him in the middle of his proceeding match against King the 100-Ton. [10] Kinnikuman reveals to Mariposa that Robin Mask and Terryman were always a part of his team, as he wrote their names with invisible ink on his team-list, and this allows the tournament to continue. [10] After Terryman defeats King the 100-Ton, Mariposa is matched against Robin Mask; Mariposa attacks Meat and Kinnikuman - who try to stop him - and enters the ring. [1] He kicks Robin Mask from behind before the gong has been officially rung, before using a Senton Quebradora.

Mariposa tries to attack again, but Robin counters with a Spinning Lobster Defence and an overhead throw. He attempts to skewer Robin Mask on his horn, but Mariposa stops himself from falling with a simple finger on the horn of Robin Mask's helmet, and uses what appears to be a Muscle Revenger to drill Robin Mask into the canvas. [1] Robin Mask pulls himself halfway from the canvas, before attempting a Tower Bridge. [5] Mariposa rotates rapidly, which breaks him free from the hold, but this action helps pull Robin free.

Mariposa uses a Moctezuma Defence, which ignites his body and sets fire to the ropes. Robin Mask takes a hold of Mariposa's legs, which are the only part of him not aflame, and swings him until the flames are extinguished, which enables him to notice the Anoalo Staff. Mariposa leaps upon Robin mask, and delivers a series of fiery headbutts. [5] It is revealed Mariposa stole the Anoalo Staff in Robin Mask's youth. [3] Robin attempts to counter with a Flying Totec, but Mariposa breaks the fall with his hands and throws Robin against the corner-post, before using an Iron Post Binding.

Mariposa attempts to use a Moctezuma Defence again, and uses an Aztec Drop on Robin Mask. Robin Mask faints from the burns obtained from the attacks, before using a Muscle Revenger to drive Robin Mask into the canvas once more. Terryman motivates Robin Mask, who summons the Anoalo Staff back to him, and this allows him to use the Unicorn Head technique. [3] Mariposa is stunned by a beam from a temple on Planet Kinniku, when he tries to use what is revealed to be a fake Muscle Revenger, a sacred technique used by the Kinniku Royal Family, At this point, Mariposa is revealed not be the true prince. [11]

Robin Mask follows with a Fire Turbine and finishes with a Robin Special. This defeats Mariposa, who falls to the mat with a knock-out, and Robin Mask is declared the winner of the match. Kinnikuman dyes his white cape red with the blood of Mariposa, before removing his mask (as per the rules of the tournament). [11]

Kinnikuman 2011[]

Omega Centauri's Six Spear Arc[]

Prehistory[]

At the National Chojin Museum, in Tokyo, Kinnikuman Zebra breaks in after hours with Phoenix, Big Body, and Mariposa. [12] They retrieve their old masks, which were encased as part of an exhibit, and arrive in Barcelona, at the location of the battle between the Justice Chojin and Omega Centauri's Six Spears. [13] They declare themselves envoys of the gods, and - believing the Six Spears to be furthering Satan's plans - they challenge them to fight to the death, while refusing to explain the situation to Kinnikuman. [14]

Phoenix reveals that he has picked five castles for their fights, which are known to the Six Spears. [15] The Four Fated Princes - and Kinnikuman - ascend to the sky, where five ropes appear, to go towards to one of the five castles each. [15] The match with Mariposa takes place at Bran Castle, Romania, against Hailman. [16]

Mariposa vs. Hailman[]

Hailman begins on the offensive with a Blizzard Hand. Mariposa dodges and counters with a Missile Drop-Kick, before landing on Hailman outside the ring with a La Quebradora, which Hailman counters with a bridge. A Blizzard Lariat follows from Hailman, and this is also followed with another Blizzard Hand. Mariposa kicks away his hand, and pins Hailman to the mat by his arm. [16][17] The move is broken when Hailman uses his other hand to attack with a Blizzard Hand, and proceeds to use a Freezing Ring. [17]

Mariposa attempts another kick, but is stopped by a Hail Breath. This freezes Mariposas's legs together. Hailman uses a Glacier Crash, and then a Blizzard Blade, to slice open Mariposa's chest. A second Hail Breath freezes a cylindrical ramp into the ring, and allows Hailman to use a Freeze Screw Lane. Despite being down, Mariposa counters with an Enzuigiri. He uses a Moctezuma Defence. [17][18] The flames around Mariposa act like an armor, and Mariposa reveals that he can create flames even without Robin Mask's Anoalo Staff, by building up friction by spinning against the corner post. [18]

Hailman tries to counter with a Hail Breath, but Mariposa uses a Fire Torch Rocket. The two exchange a series of blows, until Mariposa starts to use headbutts to indent Hailman's forehead, and Mariposa's body starts to melt. Hailman uses his Blizzard Ring Maximum, which rises five ice blocks from the ring, and proceeds to Ice Ring Prison. This traps Mariposa in a block of ice. [18] Mariposa uses is Moctezuma Defence, but - being in an airtight space - Mariposa is unable to create flame. [19] Mariposa breaks free and tries to use the corner-posts for friction, but Hailman uses a Hail Breath to freeze the ring itself to stop him from being able to create friction.

Hailman follows with a Blizzard Block Hammer, and - after a series of blows - uses a Blizzard Hand to pierce through Mariposa's right thigh. Mariposa counters with a figure-eight lock, but Hailman is able to turn the attack to his advantage, using an Inverted Indian Death-Lock Face-Lock, and begins to freeze all of Mariposa's body. [19] The sunlight moves through Hailman, whose body acts as a magnifying glass, and Mariposa is finally able to reignite his fire. [20] Mariposa uses a Moctezuma Defence, and takes to headbutting Hailman from above.

The headbutt is a repurposed version of his previous attempted Muscle Revenger, which Mariposa calls: Aztec Cemetery. This knocks out Hailman, and the match is rung in Mariposa's favour. [20]

Interim[]

Once the God of Harmony's faction arrives on Earth, Kinnikuman Mariposa stares off into the heavens in anticipation as the God of Flight told him everything he needs to know about the invasion.

Trivia[]

  • Mariposa is Spanish for butterfly.
  • In 2009, Japanese media reported that someone calling himself "Kinnikuman Mariposa" donated at least 10,000 yen (90 US dollars) for maintenance of the real-life Kumamoto Castle; interestingly, within the manga, Mariposa and Robin Mask created a hole in the ceiling of the 400 year old castle keep during their battle. "Mariposa" reportedly donated at least 10,000 yen again in 2016, after an earthquake dealt heavy damage to the castle.
