Every attack Kinnikuman initiated was reversed back onto Kinnikuman. Kamehame was ring side to view the match and told Kinnikuman that he would have to "move the mountain". Kinnikuman caught on and realized that since Jesse constantly reversed other people's moves that Jesse himself did not have any moves. Jesse had all his moves reversed back onto him and was finally defeated by Kinnikuman with the Fuu Rin Ka Zan. Thus earning Kinnikuman the Hawaii championship title belt and some money which Kinnikuman returned back to them.

Wearing special masks that gave them magnetic powers, they fought their way to the final round of the Dream Tag Tournament against Kinnikuman and Terryman, but Neptuneman turned against Big the Budo when he tried to use a sword against their opponents, breaking one of the sacred rules of Perfect Choujin. After losing to Kin and Terry, Neptuneman flew into space and blew himself up to signal Big the Budo's incoming Perfect Choujin henchmen to retreat. During the tournament against the Princes of Fate, Neptuneman escaped from the afterlife and fought on Kinnikuman's team disguised as The Samurai. He was modeled after American wrestler Hulk Hogan.

[edit] Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne
"Kinnikuman's Team"
-
- Kinnikuman
- Meat
- Weak little Meat was a member of Kinnikuman's team because the rest of his allies were missing in action or belonged to other teams. Meat fought in one battle in the whole series and that was against Mixer Taitei defeating him with a backdrop. He started to fight in a second match against the Manriki but it was interrupted by Warsman who defeated the Manriki and won the match for Kinnikuman's team (it could be said that Warsman was a charter member of Kinnikuman's team).

- Terryman, Meat and Warsman were out of commission for the final battle. Their replacements were Geronimo and The Samurai, who was really Neptuneman.

- (VA: Shigeru Chiba; Eiji Takemoto in Kinnikuman Nisei). Homeland: Planet Kinniku, Age: 29, Height: 197 cm, Weight: 102 kg, Choujin Power: 1,080,000. Suguru's elder brother. Ataru hated the spartan upbringing of his father and ran away from home at an early age. When he returned, he killed Kinnikuman Soldier and assumed his identity. To this day in the Kinnikuman II manga, he still wears the Soldier outfit, so some refer to him as Kinnikuman Soldier II. He was teamed with Suguru to form the "No Questions Asked Siblings". Trademark Techniques: Napalm Stretch, Face Flash, Ataru's Muscle Spark, Dragon Suplex.
- Brocken Jr.
- The Ninja
- Buffaloman

"Phoenix Team"
- The Intellect Team
- Mammothman
- (VA: Masaharu Satou). Homeland: Siberia, Eurasia. Height: 279 cm; Weight: 400 kg; Choujin Power: 78,000,000. A mammoth choujin. His Big Tusks had a mind of their own and would seek out blood. This ultimately led to his own defeat when Robin Mask let his blood sprinkle over Mammothman himself, and his Big Tusks impaled him. Robin defeated Mammothman, although Super Phoenix arguably had the last laugh, as both of them lost their pages from the Muscle Prophecy Book and disappeared at the end of the match. Trademark Techniques: Powerful Nose Breaker, Nose Fencing, Ice Rock Gyro.
- Satan Cross
- (VA: Hidetoshi Nakamura). Homeland: Demon Realm; Height: 235 cm; Weight: 250 kg; Choujin Power: 47,000,000. Formerly known as Samson Teacher, Ashuraman's trainer. He fused with the devil to become a four-armed centaur Choujin. In his first fight he killed The Ninja. He then fought and killed his own student Ashuraman. In the final round he took on Suguru in a Special Armor Death Match. Suguru defeated him with a Muscle Spark. Trademark Techniques: Rising Technique Triangle Dreamer, Miracle Sheet, Escape Water, Choujin Floater, Break Dance Shoot.
- Prisman
- (VA: Ken Yamaguchi and then Ryōichi Tanaka). Homeland: Antarctica; Height: 304 cm; Weight: 200 kg; Choujin Power: 52,000,000. A prism choujin. Could fire a beam that could destroy any Chojin, which he demonstrated on Kinnikuman Zebra after Zebra lost to Suguru. Brocken Jr. turned himself into an ordinary human to avoid this, but died. Prism Man was finally put out of action in a match with Ramenman. Trademark Techniques: Rainbow Shower, Canvas Saucer, Canvas Shuriken.
- The Omegaman
- (VA: Ken Yamaguchi). Homeland: Omega Centauri; Height: 231 cm; Weight: 208 kg; Choujin Power: 86,000,000. Originally one of Neptune King's Perfect Choujin. The Omegaman was a bounty hunter from Enma Daio. He ostensibly recovered many Choujins who escaped from Hell including Screw Kid, Junkman, Atlantis, Sunshine and Sneagator, and during the survivor series his mission was to retrieve Neptuneman. While on Earth, he joined Phoenixman's team during the royal crown saga. Omegaman defeated Geronimo with the Omega Catastrophe Drop which resulted in a tag match, Neptuneman and Kinnikuman vs. Omegaman and Phoenixman. The match was for each person's page in the muscle prophecy book. The pages were tied to a string which hung over a torch. Neptuneman ended up losing his page and dying. This pitted Kinnikuman and Omegaman against each other. Omegaman used his Omega Metamorphesis technique which turned him into Prince Kamehame. Through the course of the match, Kamehame's spirit took over and he finished teaching Kinnikuman the Kamehame 100 Special Techniques. With those techniques at hand, Kinnikuman turned Omegaman back into himself and defeated Omegaman with the Muscle Spark. Trademark Techniques: Omega Metamorphosis, Omega Catastrophe Drop.
- Super Phoenix
- (VA: Michihiro Ikemizu). Homeland: Sirloin Village, Planet Kinniku; Age: 24; Height: 190 cm; Weight: 114 kg; Choujin Power: 100,000,000. Another Kinniku challenger to the throne. There was a fire in the hospital the day of Suguru's, Phoenixman's, Big Body's, Mariposa, and Zebra's births. Which may have caused a mix-up in babies. At this point in the tournament it does not matter as Suguru is the true/accepted heir to the throne. But growing up Phoenixman believed that he was the heir to the throne and hoped to be taken away from the poor existence he led. As a child he did not have friends and was very lonely and hoped that the Royal Kinniku family would take him away from his life. Phoenixman almost had the chance to become the heir to the throne due to a tournament that would allow a challenger to become heir. But due to the death of his father he missed out on the chance. Since the acting King was Tone the pig in the beginning of the story it is believed that Tone won the tournament. He hates Kinnikuman because Kinnikuman not only grew up rich but is the heir to the throne (whether or not he knew that Kinnikuman was left on Earth and grew up alone is not truly known even though Kinnikuman tries to explain it to him saying that he was not unlike Phoenixman). Phoenixman was chosen by the Chisei no Kami to be their fighter and he become Super Phoenix. Kinnikuman beat him with a complete Muscle Spark. Trademark Techniques: Muscle Revenger, Raging Ox, Psycho Phoenix Wave. Tag Technique with Mammothman and Prisman: Choujin Decoration Tree.
