Akuma Shogun (悪魔将軍) was originally Goldman, who often fought with his younger brother Silverman. He was placed - in soul form - inside the Golden Mask, where he later became the leader of the Devil Chojin.
About[]
The leader of the Seven Devil Chojin and the Six Devil Knights. His true identity is that of the former first Perfect Origin, Goldman, known as the God of Battle (戦いの神, Tatakai no Kami). He frequently quarrelled with his younger brother Silverman and the two eventually engaged in a sword battle, a battle which ended with the two of them simultaneously beheading each other. His soul was placed inside the Golden Mask (黄金のマスク, Ōgon no Masuku) and many years later aligned himself with Satan and became Akuma Shogun. Due to his actions, he is seen as the main antagonist of the Golden Mask Arc and the antagonist of the overall series
Personality[]
Akuma Shogun is initially seen as a merciless, brutal and ruthless figure, caring only for his ambitions, to the point where his underlings are just mere tools for him to use at please (such as when he used the Six Devil Knights as his physical body). He does not seem to care about his followers, and does not tolerate failure, such as executing the ones that fail him (like with Ashuraman, after he was defeated by Kinnikuman). Despite this, he is a chojin that respects strong opponents, and once his character become more complex, his initial apathy to his followers is lost, showing that despite his hard and borderline methods of training, he genuinely cares about them.
Appearance[]
Akuma Shogun[]
In this form, Akuma Shogun has long blond hair. He wears a silver helmet, with three horns and red eyes. The rest of his armour is also silver in colour, with red arm-pieces and shin-pads, and a blue-and-yellow insignia on his chest.
Goldman[]
In this form, Goldman wears a gold mask that covers his entire face. He wears nothing except a gold-coloured tunic, which stops above mid-thigh, and ankle-high golden-coloured shoes. It is unknown if he also has long hair, or any hair. He has pale-coloured skin.
Relationships[]
Silverman[]
The two brothers, despite their different ways of thinking, have some kind of mutual respect, despite been also rivals. In his days as Goldman, Akuma Shogun was the one who opened the eyes of Silverman, and given him the idea to start a new faction.
The Man[]
At firsts, he respected The Man as a paternal figure and as a leader, but after seen that the ways of the Perfect Chojin were wrong, he decided to leave his side, angering him. After this, the two became enemies, and stay that way even after fighting one last time.
Painman[]
He and Painman have a friendly rivalry about what was more powerful, Painman's cushion material, or Goldman's Diamond Power. This makes Painman respect the disciples of Akuma Shogun, as seen with his conversation with Junkman.
Kinnikuman[]
Akuma Shogun considers Kinnikuman as one of his enemies, since he is a direct descendant of his brother, Silverman. Despite this, Kinnikuman is scared of him, and views Akuma Shogun as a complete menace, rather than his actual enemy.
Sunshine[]
Although Akuma Shogun doesn't show any affection nor respect for his followers, he has said on different occasions that he considers Sunshine to be his successor, and the both of them spend time together during the fights at Yggdrasil.
Abilities[]
With his finishing move, Hell's Nine Point Seal, he attacks the nine vital points of the Chojin body. His trademark Hell's Guillotine is part of this, attacking the neck. He obtains his flesh body when the Devil Knights unite underneath his mask. He has the ability to freely alter the hardness of his body, from a Chōjin Hardness (超人硬度, Chōjin Kōdo) level of 10 (the highest in the Chojin world), known as Diamond Body (ダイヤモンドボディ), to Chojin Hardness 0, Snake Body (スネークボディ). Coupled with the fact that no body exists within his armour, there are very few techniques that can actually harm him. His weak spot is his head, because he shows signs of pain when he got hit in the head during his fights with Buffaloman and Kinnikuman.
History[]
Kinnikuman[]
- Akuma Shogun is the living spirit of Goldman, which possesses the Gold Mask. He forms a team of the Six Devil Knights, where a tournament is created to eliminate all Justice Chojin, but - after a long battle against Kinnikuman - Akuma Shogun is defeated and his spirit is appeased. He returns to his mask, where he merges with the Silver Mask
Prehistory[]
Goldman was the brother of Silverman. [2]
Goldman was known as the "God of War" and the master of grappling techniques, and the opposite of his peaceful brother, who was the expert at counter-attacks. A young boy one day asks which of them is stronger, which causes them to fight. The conflict is so severe that it damages multiple people and places, forcing the Justiceman to intervene and mediate their fight. [2]
Justiceman presents them with two swords to settle the fight, but they both decapitate one another and their heads are taken by Justiceman to the Kinniku Clan. They both transformed - over time - into the Silver and Gold masks that could be worn and utilised by others. [2] Goldman made a bargain with Satan for a body with which he would kill Justice Chojin. As Akuma Shogun, he became leader of the Akuma Knights (Ashuraman, Sunshine, The Ninja, Junkman, Planetman, Sneagator, and a revived Buffaloman).
Golden Mask Arc[]
Akuma Shogun first appears as the Golden Mask. [3] He shrinks the exit inside Warsman's body, to prevent Kinnikuman and his friends - who are growing to their regular size - from leaving in time so as not to tear Warsman apart. He steals forth the power of the Devil Chojin that worked underneath him during the tournament, and announces himself as their leader. [3] Geronimo attacks Akuma Shogun, but Akuma Shogun retaliates with a double-arm suplex. [4] He then uses a Spin Double Arm, and finishes with a Hell's Guillotine. This kills Geronimo, and inspires the others to distract Akuma Shogun by attacking him at once. [4]
Akuma Shogun escapes from Warsman's body, along with Ashuraman. [5] Kinnikuman escapes and uses his Burning Inner Strength, as he attempts to tackle Akuma Shogun, but he is struck by a Hell's Guillotine. [6] It is revealed Akuma Shogun cannot absorb his Burning Inner Strength and injures his knee. Akuma Shogun and Ashuraman go through a door to their next venue, while Kinnikuman lingers behind due to fear, but - despite his hesitation - Buffaloman holds the door open for him and allows him to carry onward. [6]
Buffaloman, on his arrival, shakes hands with Akuma Shogun; Akuma Shogun resurrected him to act as an adviser for the upcoming match. [7] After Ashuraman loses in his match against Kinnikuman, he is shunned by Akuma Shogun and decapitated by him. [8] Buffaloman is thus persuaded to join the Justice Chojin, as he rejects such levels of cruelty, and holds Akuma Shogun about his waist, so that Kinnikuman may have a chance to use his Kinniku Driver. [8] Akuma Shogun attempts a Hell Super Express. [9]
This is reversed by Buffaloman, and the fight between the two allows Kinnikuman time to train with Terryman in an attempt to perfect the Kinniku Driver using logs in a nearby parkland. Buffaloman attempts a Special Hurricane Mixer, but Akuma Shogun reveals his body can feel no pain. Kinnikuman perfects his Kinniku Driver. [9] Buffaloman impales Akuma Shogun with his long horns, while Terryman warns Kinnikuman about the fatal flaw with the Kinniku Driver, and Kinnikuman manages to correct the one flaw. [10]
Kinnikuman returns and carries Buffaloman to the infirmary, after Akuma Shogun defeats Buffaloman. [2] Kinnikuman learns - in the process - that Akuma Shogun is actually Goldman. Kinnikuman returns to the ring and throws the silver mask above the ring, along with Akuma Shogun and the gold mask, and and it is decided that the winner of the match will take both masks. Kinnikuman begins the match with a German Suplex, and Akum Shogun attacks with a chair, causing a referee to be needed. [2] Mongolman agrees to referee the match. [11]
Kinnikuman tries to attack Akuma Shogun several times, but his skin is torn open and every time his Kinniku Driver fails. Akuma Shogun attempts a Skull Crush, but Kinnikuman counters by bashing him against the corner-post of the ring. This is followed by Kinnikuman reversing an attempted Hell's Guillotine. [11] Akuma Shogun gains the upper-hand with a Hell Windmill, and Kinnikuman - after thrown out the ring - makes it back in time for the count. [12] Kinnikuman is then hit by a Human Bullet Dive Bomb.
Kinnikuman uses a Sideways Kinniku-Buster. This strikes Akuma Shogun against a far wall, where the chest-plate of his armour breaks away and reveals he is lacking a physical body. [12] Kinnikuman attempts a Bear-Hug, but Akuma Shogun breaks free and the pieces of his body turn back into the Six Devil Knights, and Akuma Shogun reverses a Sideways Kinniku-Buster to harm Kinnikuman. [13]
After using his Muscle Curtain, after exchanging a series of blows, Kinnikuman witnesses Akuma Shogun harden his body to level seven. Akuma Shogun turns his arms into swords, and Robin Mask tosses his armour for Kinnikuman to use, but Akuma Shogun goes to Hardness Level 10. [13] He splits open Robin Mask's armour and attacks at Kinnikuman, and Kinnikuman attempts a Muscle Curtain Attack. [14]
Kinnikuman manages to scratch Akuma Shogun's body. This is followed by a Burning Megaton Punch, which opens the crack in Akuma Shogun's armour, and his body shatters into millions of diamonds, as Kinnikuman retrieves the Golden Mask. The diamond pieces destroy the Golden Mask, and it is revealed the the real Golden Mask was underneath Akuma Shogun's fake mask all along. It was a part of his head. [14] This triggers Kinnikuman into donning the Silver Mask, so that the two masks can communicate. [15]
Akuma Shogun- now revealed to be Goldman - reveals he felt humiliated by Silverman, while they were still alive, and was given power by Satan, who granted him control over the Six Devil Knights. [16] To gain the upper hand, Akuma Shogun places the ring on the bodies of Kinnikuman's Justice Chojin friends, and each attacks upon the canvas thus causes them pain. Akuma Shogun uses a Burning Bridge. [15]
The ring is transformed, as Akuma Shogun starts to sweat, and his sweat turns the canvas into a diamond. [17] After a series of serious blows, Kinnikuman turns the tides and uses the diamond canvas against Akuma Shogun, and forces his Hardness Level back to normal. [18] The Friendship Power exhibited by Kinnikuman, and the Justice Chojin beneath the ring, causes the Gold Mask to reject the armour gifted by Satan. [18] This causes a body to appear. [19] Kinnikuman then uses his Burning Inner Strength . Akuma Shogun seals all Kinnikuman's vital points and uses a Hell Guillotine. [19]
Kinnikuman stops the move, while the spirits of his friends come to his defence. [20] The Friendship Power weakens him, before he summons the spirits of the Six Devil Knights to rip his limbs away; sacrificing his body means Kinnikuman cannot use any techniques against him. Buffaloman then intervenes to stop him from dismantling and recombining at will. [20] He dons the mask, so that Akuma Shogun will have a body, and willingly sacrifices himself to help stop Akuma Shogun. [21] Kinnikuman successfully uses the Kinniku Driver.
Akuma Shogun - now in his Golden Mask form - asks to be destroyed, but instead the Silver Mask combines with the Golden Mask and become the Perfect Mask. They revive all dead and injured Chojin, and never again will they ever be divided, which means never again can they bring harm on the people. [21]
Kinnikuman (2011)[]
Perfect Origin Arc[]
Tournament[]
When a group of Perfect Chojin called the Perfect Large Numbers announce their rise to power and attempted to challenge the Justice Chojin who failed to show. Akuma Shogun had summoned all of his loyal Devil Chojin to battle them at the designated arenas in order to obtain victory for the Devil Chojin. Before this, the Perfect Mask had split into the Silver Mask and Gold Mask for some reason. And then the Gold Mask had disappeared.
Akuma Shogun vs. Mirageman[]
To ensure a smooth entrance for his minions, Akuma Shogun enters Mon Saint Parfait. He mocks weak Chojin for failing to become Perfect Chojin and explains that only those who have attained perfect power may enter. Akuma Shogun waxes nostalgia about Mon Saint Parfait and says that it hasn't changed at all. Mon Saint Parfait and its people will end today.
With his might, Akuma Shogun parts the sea, revealing the Road to Heaven. Upon opening the door to the Perfect Chojin's palace, a nearby gatekeeper recognizes Akuma Shogun's presence. Only a former Perfect Chojin could gain access to Mon Saint Parfait. And thus, Akuma Shogun could only be the former Perfect First, Goldman. Despite the greeting, Akuma Shogun demands that the greeter stops his tomfoolery.
After saying that he's no longer a Perfect Chojin, Akuma Shogun reveals the greeter's name. It's Mirageman. Akuma Shogun notes that Mirageman is still the gatekeeper of Mon Saint Parfait. Mirageman wonders why Goldman returned after defecting so long ago. Could it be that Akuma Shogun misses the past? Akuma Shogun denies that and states that he's only here for what's hidden in Mon Saint Parfait. In fact, Akuma Shogun is here to destroy the Chojin Graveyard. Mirageman laughs at Akuma Shogun before Akuma Shogun interrupts him and says that he's also destroying the Perfect Origin, with the exception of himself and his brother Silverman.
Disappointed in Goldman's motives, Mirageman loathes taking part in such a pointless quarrel. Even though Akuma Shogun shares the same feelings, he states that their ideals have diverged. On top of that, his ideals diverged away from Silverman's ideals as well. That's just reality. Mirageman mentions how the leader of the Perfect Origin hates the word "reality". Akuma Shogun acknowledges that hatred, but points out that the Perfect Origin's leader started all of this in the first place.
According to Mirageman, a line that should not be crossed has been crossed. And that's why the Perfect Chojin has came into existence. Sadly, the Perfect Chojin world is unable to deal with it. Only the leader of the Perfect Origin could do something about this problem. The leader is the only one who follow this mission sincerely.
As expected by Akuma Shogun, nothing's changed around here. Fulfilling "his" whims is the only mission around here. Because of their intolerance of "his" ideals, both Goldman and Silverman defected from the Perfect Origin. Even though Goldman and Silverman could never see eye to eye, Mirageman could see that they're similar in a fashion. In fact, this similarity has brought about this calamity in the first place. Akuma Shogun understands that similarity, but points out that "his" ideals are far more deplorable than Akuma Shogun's ideals. There's only one suitable ideal by "his" standards. This leader has no other doubts or any other thoughts other than "his" ideal. And that is why Akuma Shogun is here to kill the Perfect Origin.
Mirageman sees that Akuma Shogun is beyond reason and backflips into an arena. Mirageman beckons Akuma Shogun into the arena. With no other option, the leader of the Devil Chojin enters. Akuma Shogun is familiar with this arena as he and Mirageman have fought many fights in this arena as friends. And now, they'll fight as enemies. This match will be their last fight!
As long as Mirageman is the gatekeeper of Mon Saint Parfait, he will not let Akuma Shogun, the traitor to the Perfect Chojin, pass! Mirageman starts by throwing punches at Akuma Shogun, but Akuma Shogun dodges them and teleports above Mirageman's arm to stomp it. Akuma Shogun follows up with a kick to Mirageman's face. It seems Mirageman hasn't gotten rusty at all. Mirageman retorts that Akuma Shogun hasn't gotten rusty at all even as a leader of inferior Chojin. Akuma Shogun knows that he wasn't just worshipped in that time.
For Mirageman, the Mirror World is the real one. To defeat Akuma Shogun, Mirageman fires off his Mirage Sniper beam and creates a mirror with one of his shoulder spikes. When Akuma Shogun opens his eyes, it will be his last. As it turns out, Mirageman has created a reflection of Akuma Shogun with the mirror. This is Mirageman's "Mirror of Inner Being" ability. Like Akuma Shogun's Nine Point Seal, Mirageman can do the same by attacking various points of the mirror. To demonstrate, Mirageman attacks the legs of Akuma Shogun's mirror self and seals off the real deal's legs.
Mirageman tries to finish off Akuma Shogun with a Kaledoscope Drill to the chest, aiming for the Akuma Shogun's heart. Akuma Shogun isn't the only one who can reach Hardness Level 10: Diamond. Mirageman can as well, thanks to his "Mirror of Inner Being". Despite his seeming defeat, Akuma Shogun applauds Mirageman for copying Diamond Power, but Mirageman's version is not worthy of being called Diamond Power. Mirageman is simply insulted by Akuma Shogun's arrogance and tells him to shut up.
To prove Mirageman wrong, Akuma Shogun calmly pulls out Mirageman's arm while it's performing the Kaledoscope Drill and stops it in its tracks. And then, Akuma Shogun shows off his version of Diamond Power and slices off Mirageman's arm. This should not be possible! Both Mirageman and Akuma Shogun should be at the same level of hardness! Akuma Shogun points out that Mirageman hasn't changed at all in terms of strength and skill. This effectively means that Mirageman stayed stagnant while Akuma Shogun has improved.
Ending the match, Akuma Shogun pulls his finisher technique, the Hell's Guillotine, on Mirageman with the power he obtained after leaving Mon Saint Parfait. Akuma Shogun believes that chojin were meant to develop and change, but the Perfect Origin tried to control the world under the guise of keeping a status quo for chojin, which is why Akuma Shogun defected. The Perfect Chojin ideology is egotistical and it has no meaning to Akuma Shogun, so he's here to tell the leader that. Mirageman tells Akuma Shogun that defeating the Perfect Origin and its leader is a tall task. Showing confidence, Akuma Shogun retorts, "Why else would I come here?" Before passing on, Mirageman states that he harbors no contempt towards Akuma Shogun.
Before he enters the depths of Mon Saint Parfait, Akuma Shogun pulls out Mirageman's Ice Dumbbell from Mirageman's arm.
Akuma Shogun vs. Abyssman[]
Using the Ice Dumbbell, Akuma Shogun shatters Mirageman's illusion and breaks into the Chojin Graveyard. [22]
In the process of turning back the Forbidden Mortar, one of the Graveyard Demons runs to attack Akuma Shogun. Akuma Shogun sees that this is a disguise and attacks back, at which point Abyssman reveals his true identity, and proceeds to chastise the demons. Abyssman states that he cannot allow Akuma Shogun to turn back the mortar, or to destroy the graveyard, and when Akuma Shogun derides The Man's principles, an incensed Abyssman challenges him to a battle and takes it to his "Ring of Punishment". [22] The two shake hands, before beginning to fight in earnest. [23]
They exchange a series of equal blows, before Abyssman attempts an Abyss Guardian, but the attack fails to down Akuma Shogun, who rises back onto his feet. Abyssman states that he learned a lot from their past together, such as to never turn his back to an enemy, and delivers a barrage of blows to Akuma Shogun. Akuma Shogun flips over and tries to attack his back again, but an Abyss Guardian blocks him. This is followed by a Graveyard Tackle. [23] This allows Abyssman to set up for his finisher: Abyss Decapitation. [24]
Akuma Shogun foils the move at the last second by changing his body, using his diamond power. The technique is not perfect, allowing Abyssman to deliver a series of bloody blows to Akuma Shogun. Abyssman tries another Graveyard Tackle, but Akuma Shogun avoids the blow and regains the advantage with his Nine Point Seal technique, which causes another wound on Abyssman's back. This also shatters his Abyss Guardian, allowing Akuma Shogun to use a Double-Arm Spin-Sault. [24] This is followed with a Double-Knee Crusher. [25]
This move seals all four of Abyssman's limbs, and Akuma Shogun finishes with a Hell's Guillotine.
He then takes Abyssman's Fire Dumbbell, leaving his corpse on the ring. [25]
Interim[]
Akuma Shogun announces that his Fire Dumbbell belongs to him before correcting himself and calling himself by his original name Goldman. He tells Abyssman's corpse to enjoy himself before approaching the Forbidden Mortar. Afraid of facing off against Akuma Shogun, the Graveyard Demons all flee.
Akuma Shogun proceeds to rotate the Forbidden Mortar backwards, connecting the surface world to the Chojin Graveyard. To Akuma Shogun, life and death of a chojin should only belong to themselves and the Perfect Chojin controlling that is a grave mistake. The Perfect Chojin have grown arrogant ever since they followed that foolish custom for a 1000 years. The leader of the Perfect Chojin is a monster now. Akuma Shogun's mission is to stop the leader and make sure he'll never return.
When he stops, Akuma Shogun says that no one will be coming back to life. As cracks appear in the ceiling of the Chojin Graveyard, he tells his elite minions, the Devil Knights, that they can enter. With a dynamic entry, the Devil Knights appear and start attacking. While the Graveyard Demons are occupied, Akuma Shogun plunges further into the Chojin Graveyard.
(WIP)
Akuma Shogun vs. The Man[]
Akuma Shogun faces Strong the Budo (The Man) at the Ayer's Rock in Australia. [26] Strong the Budo summons forth a ring from the rocks. [26] It also creates bleachers and a television screen, at which point Strong the Budo throws his sword to where the highest point of the rock would have stood. [27] The match will begin when the sun rises above the sword. This allows Peek-a-Boo, Nemesis and Neptuneman to reach the ring in time, and this is followed by Buffaloman and Sunshine.
Kinnikuman and Meat follow afterwards, where they find the bleachers filled with spectators. Strong the Budo reveals that he once trained Akuma Shogun, and the results of the match will determine whose ideals should govern the chojin world: Devil Chojin or Perfect Chojin. Harabote Muscle and Knock arrives to referee. [27]
Akuma Shogun and Strong the Budo rush towards each other. [28] Akuma Shogunstarts with the upper-hand, as he lands a barrage of blows, before slamming him into the canvas. He slams Strong the Budo's head into the stone ring, but Strong the Budo is able to counter with his legs alone. Akuma Shogun uses the ropes to counter with a kick, but Strong the Budo uses a Lariat, which enables Akuma Shogun to use a corner-post to use a Body Press, only to be countered in turn with a back-flip. The two exchange various attacks. [28]
Strong the Budo appears to finally gain an advantage, stating that his pupil could never surpass him, but Akuma Shogun counters once more, but a shoulder-tackle knocks Akuma Shogun down at the corner of the ring. [29] Akuma Shogun regains his composure and uses a Canadian Destroyer, before using a Daisetsuzan Drop. This is following by a Double Arm-Spin Assault. Akuma Shogun attempts a Nine Point Seal, but Strong the Budo deflects it and break free. He proceeds to use a Double Knee Crusher. [29]
After being downed, Strong the Budo starts to absorb Akuma Shogun's Chojin Power. [29] Meat reveals that Strong the Budo is seeking to turn Akuma Shogun into a human. [30] Strong the Budo uses a Chojin Compressor, but Akuma Shogun breaks free and uses a Hell's Guillotine. This is broken by a Hell Neck-Breaker Chop, but Akuma Shogun survives the move by using Diamond Hardness. [30]
Akuma Shogun goes on to use his Diamond Sword technique. [31] He lands two cuts on Strong the Budo's abdomen, and follows with a Hellish Merry-go-Round, but Strong the Budo stops him by taking a hold of both his swords in his bare hands. Strong the Budo also uses his Chojin Hardness, before raising it to Diamond Level. He follows this with a Flawless Lock-Up Hold. Akuma Shogun counters by changing his Hardness Level to Zero, and escapes with a Soft Body. [31] Strong the Budo uses a Budo Rock Crush Claw. [32]
Akuma Shogun escapes the move and uses a Skull Crush. In desperation, Strong the Budo bashes his head - with Akuma Shogun still around it - against the corner-post. This shakes Akuma Shogun loose. Strong the Budo uses a Helmet Breaker, and uses Army Decimate Slam, as both men turn to Diamond Level Hardness. [32][33] This triggers the countdown, as Akuma Shogun is downed on the canvas. [33]
He rises on the count of seven, and Strong the Budo tries to steal his power again. [33] Akuma Shogun is powered by the desire to overcome his old mentor, something akin to Friendship Power, and seeks to surpass him by finding a Hardness Level beyond Diamond. [34] He changes to Hardness Level 10: Sharp. [34] This is followed by a Lonsdaleite Power. [35] This power allows Akuma Shogun to defend against Strong the Budo and cause him damage, despite his own Diamond Power, and Akuma Shogun uses a General Discs.
This is followed by a Lonsdaleite Clothesline, which breaks through the diamonds on Strong the Budo. [35] The two exchange a series of blows, until Akuma Shogun attempts another Lonsdaleite Clothesline, but Strong the Budo manages to block the attack. [36] Akuma Shogun lights up the skies with Lonsdaleite Power, as Strong the Budo uses an Army Decimate Power. The move destroys Strong the Budo's knee, while the Lonsdaleite Power protects Akuma Shogun. Akuma Shogun continues with a double-arm spin. [36]
Akuma Shogun uses his Lonsdaleite Power again to create a new hold. [37] He uses a New Hell's Guillotine, also known as the God's Guillotine, and this destroys Strong the Budo's disguise, revealing his original form as The Man. [37] Strong the Budo congratulates Akuma Shogun, before being down for the count. [38] Akuma Shogun attempts to kill Strong the Budo in his victory, but Kinnikuman stops him. [38]
Kinnikuman argues that both men have learned the ideals of Justice Chojin, and Akuma Shogun killing Strong the Budo - and then himself - would make Psychoman's sacrifice be in vain. [39] He then threatens to fight Akuma Shogun, if Akuma Shogun continues on his current path. In exchange for saving Strong the Budo's life, Akuma Shogun sets down two conditions:
- Strong the Budo must never leave the Chojin Graveyard
- The Graveyard must abolish the granting of eternal life to chojin. [39]
Akuma Shogun leaves with Buffaloman and Sunshine, but warns Kinnikuman that a Devil Chojin will always break their promise, and not to trust the peace treaty. [40] Strong the Budo also leaves, but warns that he will continue his quest to destroy all chojin should Kinnikuman and the others ever pose a threat. He proceeds to leave with Nemesis and the other Perfect Chojin that have survived. [40]
Omega Centauri's Six Spear Arc[]
(More to Come)
Kinnikuman Nisei[]
Demon Seed Arc[]
In Kinnikuman Nisei, Ashuraman attempts to revive Akuma Shogun. [41] Akuma Shogun emerges from the Demon Amino in the Demon Womb, where he clutches Alexandria Meat's head and appears as a headless entity. [42] Despite the fact that Mantaro Kinniku won his match against the Demon Seed, Akuma Shogun refuses to give back Meat's head, and - as Mantaro attempts to attack him to force him to relinquish the head - Akuma Shogun counters all attacks. Just as Akuma Shogun attempts to use Meat's head for his own, Ashuraman uses his leg (made from Akuma Shogun's diamond body) to slice off Akuma Shogun's arm and prevent him from using Meat's head before the match time-limit. [42]
It comes to be revealed that Akuma Shogun gave Ashuraman back his youth, after Ashuraman pleaded with him to restore his former strength and was on the verge of death. [42][43] Akuma Shogun admires Ashuraman's greed, as his motivations were originally selfish, and gives him a chance to apologise for his previous interference, so that he can instead swear allegiance to Akuma Shogun. [43] After Ashuraman refuses to submit, Akuma Shogun removes his General Stone and reverts him back to his elderly and fail state.
Without Meat's head, and the time-limit over, Akuma Shogun crumbles away, and his Diamond Dust of Rebirth revives all fallen Justice Chojin. [43]
