* SpecialTechnique: Atonement Awl, where they do something quite similar to the Asura Fireball Bullet where the smaller Ortega is fired out of Moaidon. The difference is Moaidon opens up the mouth on his chest to create a screwhole as opposed to Sunshine's Cursed Roller. The other one is Liar's Mouth, where Moaidon opens his mouth wide and Ortega throws the opponent in. Unlike most lie detector test type moves, the more you tell the TRUTH makes the mouth close. Generally speaking, this wouldn't be an issue. But with guys who try to be honest to a fault like Kin and Terry...
Added DiffLines:
* LivingLieDetector: With his Liar's Mouth technique. Unlike most of these, it wants you to lie, because telling the truth will crush you. The only reason this technique fails on Justice Choujin like Kin and Terry is because Kin is being childish about the fact he already accepts Mantaro as his son.

** Heavily deconstructed in Ultimate Tag when it comes time for him to form a tag team. He originally just assumes he'll be with Terry then gets confused and angry when Terry wants to do his own thing. When almost everyone else is done pairing up, he gets even more upset. Almost no one wants to team up with him, with even Checkmate begging Seiuchin to be his tag partner. When by some miracle, the 21st Century Neptuneman reveals himself, Mantaro's first thought is to want Neptuneman as a tag partner. Mantaro's motives are selfish, wanting Neptuneman to do most of the work. When Neptuneman reveals he wants Sei, Mantaro goes on a rant about how much of a failure and loser Sei is in his eyes, even saying they call him part of the good guys because he does chores well. Mantaro continues to disrespect Sei, upsetting Sei so much that he doesn't even call Mantaro "Aniki" anymore. While The Five Disasters reveal they may have tampered with the New Generation's Friendship Power, Mantaro's choices and actions created arguably an even bigger crack. Mantaro has to work hard to restore everyone's friendship with him, with Sei being his most difficult person to sway back.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Most, if not all, of the video games he appears in give him both the Kinniku Buster and the Muscle Millennium as super moves, despite the fact that he ''completely'' gave up using the former after inventing the latter.

Added DiffLines:
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: What causes him to team up with Neptuneman in the first place. While he was appreciative of Neptuneman's praise, it was Mantaro's blatant disrespect towards Sei that made Sei go off to team up with Neptuneman. When Mantaro came back, he got his muddy shoes all over the laundry Sei had just finished, irking Sei a bit. Then, when Neptuneman emphasized it was Sei that he wanted as his tag partner, Mantaro went on a long rant about how much he thinks Sei is a screw up and doesn't even deserve to be called New Generation if not for doing chores for everyone (mainly Mantaro).
Added DiffLines:
*AdaptationalBadass: While he has a worse record in V-Jump (since he really only had one match on screen and it was a loss), he has a lot more moves and variety than his main Nisei counterpart.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: In comparison with his father, Suguru who was more IdiotHero and a braggart, Mantaro is an even worse coward than he was, but is more battle savvy

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: In comparison with his father, Suguru who was more IdiotHero and a braggart, Mantaro is an even worse coward than he was, but is more battle savvysavvy. When Mantaro and Suguru interact with eachother via a gag in Ultimate Tag, Suguru says Mantaro is different from Suguru because Suguru took the time to make the gag more elaborate with actual props. Even more from Ultimate Tag, Suguru has at least two women who still care about him a great deal, romantically and not. Mantaro does not have that that much during this arc, with Rinko and Chaos getting their own romance.

As time goes on, he still stays as a moron but is more aware of his badass-ness. Especially when he has to be the leader of his own Muscle Brothers tag team.

* TookALevelInBadass: He takes several throughout the series. However, his first notable leap was for the fight with MAX Man. It's the first time we see him ''train'' for a fight and he arrives looking as muscular as his father. After actually training during the gap between the Olympics and Demon Seed arcs, Mantaro reaches new levels and start to form a new move in the Muscle Gravity as well as a new fighting style. He takes even more levels in badass in Ultimate Tag, helped by his training. From doing his own Bear Claw on the fly to learning brand new moves like the [[spoiler: Muscle Spark]].

* WhatWereYouThinking: Jade lives and breathes this trope. Most of the turnarounds in his matches that cause his loss are due to what can only be classified as acting dumb. Especially a variant of not thinking things through and being rash. One of the biggest examples is acting shocked when Mars reveals he has evil ambitions during Ultimate Tag. This example is the biggest because he brings up them training together at Hercules Factory when previously in the series he informed others that Mars slept through the teachings!

Not only that, but as Jade questions Mars' motives before their first match in the tournament proper, small flashback drawings of Mars brutalizing Jade are shown around his head!

* HeelFaceTurn: Started out as a villain, but turned to the light side after his defeat. Possibly one of the most blatant examples in the franchise as he can not even fight the Demon Seed because he is no longer "bad" enough to get past the barrier. But other villains who did not hit children can get through just fine.

Arguably the biggest in the new generation, considering he was the only one of the Choujin who went back in time who seemed to have kept his Friendship Power even after the Five Disasters admitted they tampered with it.
