About[]

Also known as The Pentagon (ザ・ペンタゴン), he has a pentagram drawn on his face, a completely white body, and bird-like wings used for his trademark aerial attacks. The wings on his back can fly up to Mach 1 and his Jumping Power is No. 1 in the Chojin World, but his overall Power is somewhat inferior. According to Meat, Pentagon is popular and has many female fans.

Personality[]

Overal, he belives in the Justice Chojin motive, and despite been popular with the ladies, he doesn't seem to take avantage of it, and stays in a more formal manner with them (althought he has been seen having dates with one of them). He is an honorable chojin, but can also be quite cocky at times, as well as overconfident, as seen in his fight against Warsman.

Appearance[]

He is has an all-white body, having only a pair of boots as his clothes. His two more significant features are his angel wings, used in aereal and acrobatic combat, and the pentagram on his face, that ones he move it, he has the ability of manipulate time at will.

Relationships[]

Black Hole[]

Pentagon has a very close relationship to his cousin. They met as young children, where they did not get along at first, but grew to become best friends and like brothers. Each one shared a similar goal to change the world, and they have fought together several times, with an unconditional trust. Pentagon is shown to worry about Black Hole and his physical condition, even asking after him and following him when believing him to be in danger.

Apegon[]

Pentagon's younger brother. He has admired his brother since he was a child, and while he also has abilities as a chojin wrestler, hoped that his brother Pentagon would become the strongest chojin in the chojin world. However, at the 21st Chojin Olympics, he witnessed Pentagon defeated by the Brutal Chojin Warsman. This made him realise that the techniques of Justice Chojin alone were not enough to stand atop of the chojin wrestling world.

History[]

Deep of Muscles 9[]

During a walk, Pentagon encountered the Bermuda III Chojin trio picking on his cousin Black Hole in a public park. He notes that the head family lives up to the stereotype of being barbaric. He rushes over to save Black Hole and escorts him over to a nearby mountaintop despite his protests.

After denying that he was bullied, Black Hole explains that the Bermuda III are the neighborhood bullies in charge of the kids in this extra-dimensional space. As they're triplets, Bermuda III do everything in unison, even their personal matters, which disturbs Black Hole greatly. Even if just one of them has a beef, the other Bermuda III will support them. This led to many incidents where the Bermuda III trio attacked innocent kids.

Because of this, Black Hole and Pentagon are inspired to form the 4D Killer Combo for the first time. And to test Pentagon's strength, Black Hole attacks Pentagon, causing the Justice Chojin to use Stop the Time in self-defense and freeze Black Hole in place.

Pentagon explains how the move works to Black Hole and even explains the Chronos Change ability as well. These abilities in combination with Black Hole's black hole powers should be a perfect match against those Bermuda III thugs. Some time later, Black Hole challenges the Bermuda III trio to a match with Pentagon. Despite the many insults from Bermuda III, Pentagon defends his cousin and praises him.

The Bermuda III attacks with a Triple Black Hole Suction, but the 4D Killer Combo counter with an Shadow-Clone Execution-Special! After Bermuda III's defeat, the head family's children stopped discriminating against the branch family's children and Black Hole became the leader among the children. Sadly, it is time for Pentagon to go back to Earth. Luckily, he and Black Hole will cherish the memories that they have formed.

Two years later, Pentagon finds that Bermuda III are up to their old tricks once again by picking on a boy for shoplifting. Pentagon learns that Black Hole is now in charge of an organization of delinquents. Bermuda III leads Pentagon to Black Hole's hideout where he learns the truth.

Pentagon is shocked at how Black Hole turned the lowlifes of the dimension into a ruthless organization, betraying Pentagon's ideals in the process. Black Hole retorts that the world doesn't run on just good will. Without a strong force like Pentagon around, things have gotten unruly around here. In order to mete out justice to these individuals, there must be absolute power. As a result, Black Hole has formed a mighty organization to become a necessary evil.

As of today, Black Hole will leave today and hand over the organization to Bermuda III. If Black Hole will become evil, then Pentagon will become a Justice Chojin to counter Black Hole. Despite this clash in ideals, Black Hole and Pentagon promise to meet each other once again.

Kinnikuman[]

21st Chojin Olympics Arc[]

Pentagon was one of the new Chojin that entered the 21st Chojin Olympics. He pass all the preliminary trials, and end up as one of the 12 final Chojin that will compete in the main matches. There, he is one of the seed Chojin that doesn't need to fight in the first round of the tournament, and instead, he will have to face against the winner of the first round.

After Warsman's match against Teapackman, he follows his victory by slighting Pentagon as he ignores his offer of a handshake, in advance of their upcoming match, angering him. [6] Later, the semi-finalists are required to participate in a ceremony, in which they ride horses around a race-track - they all finished at the same time (save for Kinnikuman). [7] Pentagon then fights Warsman in the 21st Chojin Olympics Quarter Finals, and although Pentagon’s aerial techniques worked on Warsman for awhile, Warsman eventually tore of Pentagon’s wings and eviscerated him with his Bear Claws. Despite the brutality of the attack, Pentagon manage to survive. [8]

Seven Devil Chojin Arc[]

That night after the fight against Warsman, Pentagon couldn't sleep at all because he couldn't keep his promise to Black Hole. A few weeks later, Pentagon witnesses Black Hole among the Seven Devil Chojin who wanted to challenge Kinnikuman. To himself, Pentagon whispered, "I’m sorry … I want nothing more than to fight you, if only it were possible!"

In the end, he is relieved as Black Hole lost to Kinnikuman because Black Hole had not reached his goal either. After the match, Pentagon went to Black Hole's waiting room, only to encounter Mr. Khamen. Mr. Khamen explains that Black Hole will face the wrath of Akuma Shogun for losing to Kinnikuman. Now determined, Pentagon flew far to find Black Hole once more so he can talk to his cousin one last time. Even after that humiliating defeat against Kinnikuman, Black Hole still acts like an old friend to Pentagon. The two promise to start over again after he receives his punishment from Satan. There are rumors of a way of coming back from the dead, after all. And with that, Black Hole teleports away to face his judgement.

Golden Mask Arc[]

Pentagon appears at the fitness test that all the Justice Chojin are having in the stadium. He was then put in a life-supporting bubble and then was one of the many Chojin holding up the Diamond Ring during the match against Akuma Shogun.

Dream Chojin Tag Arc[]

His cousin is Devil Chojin Black Hole, and the two of them participated in the Dream Chojin Tag Arc as the 4D Killer Combo. Despite possessing these near invincible techniques, he does not use them during his fight with Warsman, implying he might not have mastered them during the 21st Chojin Olympics.

The 4D Killer Combo await the Muscle Brothers by standing on the ceiling above the first ring, and - as the Muscle Brothers enter - drop down upon them as a pre-emptive attack. [9] Kinnikuman strikes at Pentagon, who retaliates with a Flying Body Attack, but Kinnikuman throws him out of the ring when a 4D Warp is used (allowing Black Hole to suck Pentagon into his body). This counter allows Pentagon to appear behind Kinnikuman and strike him in the face with an Elbow Bat. [9]

Kinnikuman ignores Kinnikuman Great's attempt to tag in, despite bleeding profusely, and this allows Black Hole to swap places with Pentagon. Black Hole throws Kinnikuman to the ropes; Kinnikuman Great reassures Kinnikuman they are equals, but Kinnikuman is determined to prove himself to what he considers his master. He still tags in Kinnikuman Great, despite his reservations, who uses a martial arts kick to attack Black Hole. They exchange several blows, but Kinnikuman Great temporarily incapacitates Black Hole with a Rolling Savate. [9]

The other teams leave their rings, so that they may watch the match. [10] Black Hole catches Kinnikuman Great off-guard and throws him to the ropes, in an attempt to engage in a German Suplex, but Kinnikuman Great counters with a Reverse Kick. Kinnikuman worries about loses the spotlight, as he starts to argue with Kinnikuman Great and trust breaks down, and this leads to the 4D Killer Combo gaining an advantage. As the 4D Combo use 4D Warp again, Great throws Kinnikuman out of the ring so that he may strike Pentagon midair. [10] This fatigues both Pentagon and Great.

Kinnikuman locks Black Hole in a Boston Crab, while Pentagon uses Chronos Change, which reverses their positions and allows Black Hole the upper hand. Each move Kinnikuman uses on Black Hole becomes countered with Pentagon's Chronos Change, and - as Great comes to the defence - Pentagon uses Time Stop to freeze Great and stop him with a Pile Driver. They stop Great with a 4D Cross. [10] Kinnikuman tries to counter with a White Hole, but Black Hole's body is now double-layered. [11]

Kinnikuman tries to fight alone, using a Body Slam on Pentagon, but Pentagon uses Chronos Change to switch Kinnikuman's place with Black Hole. 4D Combo tries to use a 4D Cross on Kinnikuman, but he counters with advice from the voice of Great. Kinnikuman forcibly spins the star on Pentagon's face, making him turn back time and enabling Kinnikuman to use a Pile Driver attack. Great tries to escape through Black Hole, grabbing his mask in the process, but Black Hole closes access to his dimension. [11]

Black Hole and Great fight within the dimension, and Great uses a Kinniku Buster to defeat Black Hole, while Kinnikuman uses the Kinniku Driver to defeat Pentagon. They combine their attacks into a Muscle Docking, which allows them to win the match. [11][12]

4D Killer Combo vs. Jack Chi[]

During the match against Jak Chi, it is revealed that even light itself was pulled into Black Hole's Extreme Black Hole, and this leads to him communicating psychically with Pentagon. He then uses a Fourth Dimension Cross, which causes him to turn into Pentagon. [13] Pentagon attacks Jak Chi with Angel Wing Claws, which burns Jak Tea's flesh about his face. [14]

Pentagon attacks with a series of blows, ending with Space Shuttle and Space Falcon, and Jak Chi tries to retaliate again with a Faucet Crusher, but Pentagon stops it with a Chronos Change. This allows Jak Chi to take monumental damage. Pentagon then swaps places again with Black Hole. [14] Black Hole finishes off Jak Chi with a Fourth Dimension Kill. This defeats Jak Chi. [14]
