!!Akuma Shogun ([[DubNameChange Rogue Shogun in US]])/[[spoiler:Goldman]]

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: In his group, as well as being the strongest of the Five Princes

* TheBrute: The biggest and easiest of the Five Fated Princes to be taken down
* CombinationAttack: [[spoiler:Puts aside his differences with Super Phoenix and pulls off the God Bless Revenger, a combination of his Maple Leaf Clutch and Super Phoenix's Muscle Revenger in the style of Muscle Docking, to defeat Ideaman and The Notorious]]

* FinishingMove: Dragon Sleeper Backbreaker, Muscle Impact, Giant Swing, Maple Leaf Clutch and Big Body Tackle
* ForcedIntoEvil: He really was! By his own admission, the Evil Gods forced him into entering as a candidate for the throne against his will
* FriendToAllChildren: Was seen being admired by children before being turned into a candidate for the throne
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He was an outdoorsman before becoming a candidate for the throne
* GentleGiant: Implied to be this outside of battle

* LargeAndInCharge: The biggest of the Five Princes and the physically strongest of his group

* TookALevelInBadass: Defeats Gear Master in his second match. At one point, Big Body even reverses the Muscle Revenger to show that he means business. [[spoiler:He also beats a Choshin tag-team with Kinnikuman Super Phoenix's help.]]

* AbusiveParent: [[spoiler:Played depressingly straight. In Nisei, it's revealed that whenever Kinkotsuman wasn't watching the Justice Choujin fight against the villains of the arc, he was venting his frustrations at his failures on his son, Bone Cold (who was very timid at the time). Said way to vent was to put Bone Cold through [[TrainingFromHell harsh training]], which caused much resentment towards him.]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: He feels very guilty of what he did and tries to make amends, but Bone tells him it's a little late to do that.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: The training ensured that Bone Cold became a lethally competent fighter, a sadistic assassin in the underground and he hated Kinkotsuman with every fiber of his being. It also made him one of the most, if not the most viciously effective HeroKiller choujin in the series, which caused arguably the biggest tragedy to the Muscle League at the point.]]

** IronButtMonkey: Kinkotsuman may not catch a break often, but Iwao never gets a time when he isn't abused.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buffaloman.png]]

[[folder: Golden Mask]]

* EliteMook: They describe themselves as being the higher ups on Devil Choujin hierarchy and Buffaloman and Black Hole were merely {{Mook}}s compared to them. In the 2012 manga, [[spoiler:they raid the Choujin Graveyard while the Seven Devil Choujin act as decoys for the Perfect Large Numbers]].

* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: For Akuma Shogun

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Socodile_738.jpg

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: He can turn into any type of reptile. He even has a rather profound quote regarding this trope in his book "Transformation Method":
-->"Transformation is, essentially, being reborn. One casts off one's weak self and begins a new existence by acquiring a new, stronger self. If one can understand the reality of this deep secret, one becomes capable of navigating any adversity. That adaptability is the single strongest benefit of transformation."

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Planetman_1004.gif

** [[spoiler: He uses his Face Planet technique on Psychoman, channeling the deceased Large Numbers. This instead gets him royally pissed, and Planetman gets beaten down even harder]]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/junk11_1118.jpg
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may have a really mundane character design, but he nearly killed Robin Mask and [[spoiler:being the one who defeated Painman by destroying his NighInvulnerable body!]]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ninja_Ned_1447.jpg

* PlayingWithFire: Similar to Planetman; he wields ThePowerOfTheSun, by shooting it out of his mouth, the difference is that he can conjure more than him.
** After his HeelFaceTurn, he upgrades it to a fire wheel

* TheWorfEffect: Despite being a former Devil Knight, he gets beaten by Brocken Jr., Satan Cross and [[spoiler:Hanzo]].
** Subverted in the 2012 series [[spoiler:He defeats Crowman, but is no match for Psychoman later on. Granted, he was still carrying his injuries from the previous match. At the very least, he survived this]]

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1847936-sunshine_kinnikuman_9881.jpg
* AffablyEvil: He believes in ThePowerOfFriendship, and politely asked if his opponent, Geronimo could help him back up, once he had been stuck in the ring mat.
** After the TimeSkip leading to ''Nisei'', he's a CoolOldGuy that happens to be an EvilMentor for the Dmp.

* [[LoveMakesYouEvil Friendship Makes You Evil]]: He says that the reason why he went back to being evil in ''Nisei'' was because it was the only time he had friends.

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: He can change into a top, a bridge, quick sand, and other things due to his body of golden sand.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ashurara-man_7481.jpg

* AnimalMotif: Akuma Shogun compares Ashuraman to a spider. Considering his six arms and his fight with Kinnikuman takes place on a web made of water, this isn't too far-fetched.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Akuma_Shogun_6232.jpg

* InvincibleVillain: He's MadeOfDiamond, has a HealingFactor to regenerate himself, does not feel pain and is a literal PhysicalGod, in fact most of the fight was very one-sided on his favor and only a BigDamnHeroes moment from Buffaloman of all people made Kinnikuman be able to get an advantage over him.
* JerkAss: he kills Ashuraman just for losing even though he defeated a move that could potentially harm him, has the choujins in the life capsules support the ring just so that he crush them along with Kinnikuman [[spoiler: and using the powers of {{Satan}} to kill his own brother]]

* MadeOfAir: he has no real body and thus can have attacks phase through him.
* MadeOfDiamond: he's able to shift his body's hardness from silver to copper to iron to opal to emerald to sapphire and finally to diamond, which has the highest level of defense. [[spoiler:He gains an even ''higher level'' of hardness 10 Sharp known as Lonsdaleite in his fight against The Man!]]
* MadeOfRubber: due to being a soft bodied choujin, he's able to slip through the tiniest spaces and be extremely flexible in Hardness Level 1.

* MaskOfPower: Wears a horned shiny one over [[spoiler: his true face at Goldman]]
* NighInvulnerable: Kinnikuman goes through ''hell'' trying to damage him.
** He uses at least seven out of the nine forms of the trope in the fight with Kinnikuman. [[spoiler:In his fight against The Man who is a fellow god, had to use an upgraded form of his Diamond Power known as Lonsdaleite Power when he was pushed in a corner. He even survived The Man's FinishingMove twice which one by the hidden resolve and said Lonsdaleite Power]]

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: Akuma Shogun is Goldman, the Choujin god of war who made a DealWithTheDevil for which he received the Devil Knights as his literal and figurative body.]]

[[folder: Tag Tournament]]

* NighInvulnerable[=/=]NoSell: [[spoiler:It took THREE supreme attacks to finally defeat him.]]

[[folder: Survival Match For The Kinniku Throne]]

* AnimalMotif: Mariposa is Spanish for Moth and an image of moths is seen when he enters the ring.

* AnimalMotif: Kinnkuman Zebra hmm [[SarcasmMode I wonder what it could be]]?

* NobleBirdOfPrey: Has one as a pet, as being his AnimalMotif
** BodyDouble: It also can transform into a copy of his form and his fighting style.

* KickTheDog - Mixer Taitei actually puts a puppy into his blender, ''separating the skeleton from the rest of the body'', before fighting Kinnikuman. It's so pointlessly heinous[[note]] At first; Mixer Taitei just used it as an example of how his separating blender works with the puppy serving as Kinnikuman and the bones serving as his burning inner strength[[/note]] that even his captain, Kinnikuman Mariposa is confused by it.

* JerkAss: Very insufferable and smug. [[spoiler: He is also the only one in his team who [[CryForTheDevil does not get a tragic sendoff.]] ]]

* MadeOfDiamond: When Brocken Jr punches him, his fists are noticeably bloodied

** WingedHumanoid: When he looks at a crow

[[/folder]]

* DittoFighter[=/=]PowerCopying: His fighting style involves using tapes of recordings of other Choujin in order to perfectly imitate their fighting styles and techniques. In the 2012 manga, he gains a new collection of Choujin tapes, including Neptuneman, Mammothman, Kinnikuman Zebra, and Warsman's techniques.

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: He can turn into any type of reptile

* DoppelgangerSpin: He does this in his fight with Kinnikuman

* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: He's described as the boss of the Devil Knights by the Justice Choujin

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: To All Devil Choujin

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Within their own groups

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: In his group, as well as being the strongest of the Five Princes

* {{Bishonen}}: looks handsome compared to his allies
* WeHardlyKnewYe

* CoolMask
* {{Cyborg}}
* TheDarkChick: Has to rely on others to win, extremely emotional and uses unusual techniques rather than hand to hand combat

* TheDarkChick: Is very emotionally sensitive and relies a lot on his unique technique

->Voiced by: Creator/MasaharuSato (original series & Nisei), Michael Alston Baley (English dub)

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Due to having four extra arms, he has a one up on every grappler alive, not to mention that it's shown that it's far easier for him to escape from submission holds at times.

* PigMan:
* PrinceAndPauper: Spoofed; Suguru was so ugly as a baby that when the pig showed up on the royal Kinniku family's ship, Suguru was the one who was thrown out!

* NamesTheSame: A kaiju with the same name appeared much earlier on.

* [[FishPeople Fish Person]]

* TheAce: by the time the series had begun, he had won the championships in wrestling, boxing, and judo.

* HumanoidAbomination: The guy can create ''black holes''.

* BoringYetPractical: The 2012 sequel shows Mountain doing Judo moves.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: While it's romanized as "The Mountain", the name's actually written in Kanji, reading [=MaUnTen=] (which is the Japanese spelling for "Mountain").

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He brings in the CerebusSyndrome by [[spoiler: killing Wolfman]].

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: You look at him and go, "Oh, look, a slinky-person." Then he uses his coils to ''kill Wolfman''.

* KnifeNut: Has a knife hidden in his left arm.

* GlassCannon: His ability to separate powers is powerful, but he is really fragile, leading to an east victory for Meat of all people
