The Choppers (ザ・テガタナーズ, Za Tegataazu) is a tag team made up of Brocken Jr. and Geronimo.
About[]
A seeder match is decided during the Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament, in which any team - from an audience of tag-teams - can volunteer to fight against the Five Disasters. Brocken Jr. and Geronimo volunteer as The Choppers, but ultimately lose the match. Brocken Jr. loses his arm in the process, which causes Jade to lose his Red Rain of Berlin, and instead learn a new technique in its place (due to Brocken Jr. being unable to teach him the former move in the future, due to the loss of his arm).
Story[]
The Choppers vs. Five Disasters[]
During the first round of the tournament, Harabote Muscle announces a surprise reserve match at Kuramae Kokugikan.[1] With only a few seconds left to go to volunteer, Brocken Jr. - alongside Geronimo - takes the ninety-ninth spot from Specialman and Canadianman. [1] They state they were inspired by the Machineguns, while no other team has come forward to volunteer for the reserve match, and - meeting all other requirements - should be allowed to enter the tournament to fight the Five Disasters as the seed team . [2]
Kinnikuman and Terryman act as seconds to Brocken and Geronimo, as they help them to warm up. [3] Brocken looks to a locket of Brockenman and Wolfman before beginning his match, asking them to watch over him in spirit, and Terryman gives Geronimo a Native American headpiece and axe to enter the ring, while Kinnikuman names them The Choppers based on how they both use chopping motions to attack. The match begins with a double-flying cross-chop to Thunder's chest by both Brocken Jr. and Geronimo. [3]
They follow with a double overhead-chop to the head, with a back-fist to the carotid artery. [4] The Choppers attempt a double-flying body-attack, while Lightning remains inactive from the corner, and Thunder counters with a kick, which Brocken uses - grabbing the extended leg - to deliver kicks to the face. This is followed by a series of blows and a German Suplex, which downs Thunder, and Jade offers support from the side-lines. Distracted by Jade, Brocken succumbs to a Lariat by Thunder. Once Buffaloman and Ramenman appear in the stadium, Thunder uses his Legend Destruction Bell. [4]
This triggers traumatic memories from all Justice Chojin present, including Chaos. [5] Brocken Jr. attempts to stop the attack with his Red Rain of Berlin, but Thunder counters with his bell-arm. Lightning kicks at Brocken, before slamming him head-first into the bell and seemingly knocking him unconscious. [5] At this point, Geronimo sees the spirits of Ilioukhine and Barrierfreeman, and stops the barrage of attacks on the unconscious Brocken Jr with his Apache War Cry. [6] This is followed by his Apache Death-Cry, which merges with Meat's voice recorder and destroys the Destruction Bell on Thunder's arm. [6][7]
After Geronimo loses his voice, Thunder attempts to knock him out, but - awakened with the destruction of the bell - Brocken Jr. uses his Red Rain of Berlin to break what it left of the Destruction Bell to save Geronimo, who falls out of the ring. [7] Brocken follows this with a Uniform Rebellion, and a Stuttgart Sadness. [7] Brocken Jr. gains the upper hand, until Lightning tags into the match. [8] Lightning uses his Mouthpiece Acceleration, before using a Four-Point Impact, and proceeds to use his Acceleration to avoid Brocken's attacks.
After using a Reverse Brain-Buster on Brocken Jr., Brocken Jr. attempt to use his Red Rain of Berlin. [8] Lightning evades by using Acceleration, and holds Brocken Jr. into a lock so that Thunder can use his Lion Fingers. [9] After receiving the brutal blow, Geronimo and Brocken Jr. team up to use the tag-move "Tears of Friendship", and deliver a blow to Lightning. The Fiver Disasters both use Acceleration. [9] The Five Disasters finish with a Time Travel Illusion and a Justice Destruction Finale. [10]
Despite Geronimo being knocked out, Brocken Jr. shows signs of life. The Five Disasters use their Death Watch Branding, which amputates Brocken Jr.'s arm at the shoulder. [10] Brocken Jr. offers words of consolation to a hysterical Jade, as his locket necklace snaps off, and he and Geronimo are moved onto stretchers. The doctors reveal both men wore fake skins, to hide their wounds obtained during the Universal Chojin Tag Tournament, and it was possible they may have won at full health. Jade takes the locket and goes to Brocken Jr., and the two shakes hands spiritually despite the lost arm.
Brocken is then taken the the hospital.[10]
He and Geronimo later recover with one of the Trophy Bulbs. [11]
