Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/bodily functions/transformation/Russian/robotics/dislocation/reattachment/medical.

The Final of The Chojin Crown: Part 5: Action,  Character [Character developments] and Art; Kidd's body has been in this hold [OLAP/OLAP assault] for a long time now and even he can't withstand this hold forever, so eventually they become dislocated, which is excellently yet nicely, ever so slightly graphically shown is best that they can, which as you can imagine has left momentarily concussed with a vague look in his eyes.

The End: Storyline: so in a nutshell the best I can work out in Japan it was cancelled due to low ratings, but in the US it was a hit, so Entertainment commissioned Toei Animation to produce additional episodes to finish the story arcs

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; it just feels like this episode and indeed this TV program/TV show has definitely run its course

The Final of The Chojin Crown: Part 4: Character [Character developments] and Storyline; I have to be honest this whole Kidd on the edge of giving up format is boring now, because it shows no growth from any form of previous experiences and the crowd becoming emotional is just the same stagnant hot steaming pile of garbage.

OLAP/OLAP assault: Action and Art; Mask performance is very powerful submission move; brief description; when he hooks his legs around his opponent [Kidd in this case] and rolls up their back hooking their arms and by this time he is face up on their back; the move is designed to break/dislocate shoulders from the sockets; it looks very painful and masterfully illustrated.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; but as I have already referenced I am getting a little bit bored with the similar outlay time after time, so this mark is a fair outcome.

The Final of The Chojin Crown: Part 3: Character [Character developments] and Storyline; Meat vanishes from hospital alongside others to be in the corner of Kidd; let's hope this contest is still going on when they get there...

"The Royal Stretch": Action and Art; Mask performs this wrestling move/hold; in our world it is better known as The Tarantula; they have exactly yet simultaneously shown how painful this whole could with on a maximum of 10 scale meaning 10 out of 10 yet at the same time masterfully illustrating the overwhelming strain that the receiving wrestler goes through in this case Kidd.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; by and large it is a constantly strong episode.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/bodily functions/transformation/medical. There will be some censored adult language reference in this content

The Final of The Chojin Crown: Part 2: Action and art; Kevin Mask performs this move called "Tower Bridge" it is very much the equivalent of the Torture Rack; be it action or/and simultaneously art on both counts they did excellent job of doing this submission justice.

Absolutely horse manure: Storyline and Character developments; so we are so close to the end of this TV show and we have gone through 73 episodes without them [yes we see Kidd gets his mask put on him in the opening credits,] but other than me making reference to it in the very first episode, they don't and I am going to put it this way just in case I have missed something... but I am pretty sure they haven't based on the fact, this is most definitely something I would have addressed or/and remembered in this TV show, but this is the first time that they actually made direct reference to the giant, colossal and incredibly integral part of being lucha libre/lucha of if your mask comes off and your face is revealed... you are done as a wrestler or retired or if your opponent removes your mask in Mexico/Mexican wrestling promotions that is deemed disqualification. But I digress; this is just really lazy storytelling or/and character developments as without a shadow of doubt you would think this would have came up may be at most something like three times previously at any time would have been nice, I mean make sure I come across as reasonable; this is something that you either make reference to or you don't, you just don't do what they have clearly done and half posterior it at the worst possible time; I mean the mask in Mexican wrestling is such a prestigious honour and privilege, even though I don't watch or don't have access to it, even I know that this TV show has not respected the mask tradition properly in the most highest regard that is humanly possible.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; yes I had to take off some marks from this episode, based on what I have just been talking about in a nutshell because I have already spoken about it; if you are going to go down the lucha libre/lucha route of storytelling and/or character developments you should have made it an integral part of the storytelling/character developments and not decide to shoehorn it in with 3 episodes to go before the end.

The Final of The Chojin Crown: Part 1: Character [Character developments,] Storyline and Art; now without giving too much away, but not to fill out this criteria; we have this dialogue exchange between Kevin Mask and Lord Flash; Flash tells Mask some of this story; it is beautifully accompanied at one point with this still scene/picture which is a brief; I will award this episode and extra mark based on this.

Tornado Twist: Action; Mask performs this wrestling move; very similar to break dancing where his movements are close to the mat to start, but at some point he twiddles around upside down, to create this very powerful Tornado.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; this episode just feels like this is just the beginning so we can't progress things too much too fast, but as you can see for here and now we do have positive components discussed anyway.

Exhibition Match before The Final: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Comedy; we have this Exhibition Tag Team Match between some of the legends of The Muscle League; The Duo of Damage: Ramenman & Buffaloman vs. The Tag Dream Team: Terryman & King Muscle. Now much later on in this contest Ramenman has Muscle in this hold, so he passes wind to break the hold.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; as it has so much happening in it; it reminds me of when they first started this TV show/program.

Fallout continues: Storyline, Character [Character developments] and Comedy; so the final of The Chojin Crown has been for 2 weeks time, but one person that will not be in Kidd's corner will be Meat because of previous events, the crowd recognised this bravery, but stupidity with a chant of stupid, stupid, stupid!; This is all good fun.

Kidd starts training: Action; later on he starts training on his own; this is good.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; in one way or another; a lot gets covered and sets things up nicely for the following episode.

The Sky Cube Ring: Part 3: Storyline, Action, Art and Character [Character developments;] we rejoin the match, as much later on we have one of these opponents being unceremoniously thrown off this wrestling ring construction for down; which as you would have come to expect from this TV series has absolutely captured this sequence of events excellently, but consequently due to the their actions there is a definite concern over the health and well-being of Meat.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it has been a while since I have watched an episode of this TV series, but it looks like we are slowly but surely getting back to something like we used to of; at minimum a confidently positive episode returning as the norm

The Sky Cube Ring: Part 2: Storyline, Action and Character [Character developments;] so we are underway with the second semi-final of the Chojin Crown, where we have one opponent trying to throw this other opponent off this construct. But however his opponent has had significant upgrades basically a antigravity, which means he no longer applies to the laws of gravity.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; as things are this battle looks to be shaping up as a titanic tussle and this is just the beginning.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/bodily functions/transformation/electrocution/regeneration/self harm/medical/references to Russia

The Sky Cube Ring: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Art and Action; the second semi-final match in the Chojin Crown will take on the winner of the first semi-final matchup, there is only one stipulation to this match and there is one competitor has two completely throw off their opponent from this three-dimensional cube shaped ring; the concept of this match and consequently the art and action looks and sounds intriguing as we the viewers get to see how this concept works in theory with these figures of wrestlers wrestling and also conclusion, so based on this I have decided to award this episode another mark.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; to be honest I have a feeling without seeing it yet; but the next episode is more than likely going to be something like it used to be of anything higher than the previous run of episodes

Let's just get this done: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Art; this match for Kidd is still having a hard time in this match up, it is going to be difficult to see him progressing. What the hell was this character development about? On one hand I was really on board for this leg strap, because it fits in with wrestling everyone with me so far? But on the other hand when it started glowing like the fleece from Sinbad and the Golden Fleece, I was like Oh hell to the No. Yes I am very much aware they have done other mystical things in one way or another, in this TV program up to this point anyway, where it fitted in with what they were go with, but in this specific situation; it is and was one step too far well for me anyway. Kidd performs this: a reverse spinal crack a mid air suplex and excellent animation to show this mini sequence of events.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; but this is consistently no way near where things were roughly speaking from the first season and boy howdy how it is showing, so I am happy that we just have 10 episodes to go.

Electrolix: Storyline, Action, Art and Character [Character developments;] that was a bit of luck they named this stipulation of this match as the title of this episode. [I was wondering how I was going to spell it;] but this wrestling match is now underway. The wrestling aspects of this episode are a massive positive and obviously to complement the wrestling/action we have the excellent standard of art being as engaging as it has always been. Now I have to wonder what is actually going on between Kidd and Roxanne? Because they are either there for one another or the interests in other characters are basically the character developments are confusing and just for the record I am fully aware that people can just be friends, but one moment and they are individually or together going one way or likewise individually or together going another way.

This episode receives: 5/10, this episode is mixed: I have to be honest yet factual my interest in this TV program has definitely waned, which you may have guessed from the gaps in the entries [meaning posting of this TV program and their episodes.] I mean there are some positives to this episode followed by some real childish stuff.

Warning: there is flashing/colourful/other effects/bodily functions/transformation/vehicle crash/medical/electrocution/references to Russia, inappropriate and under age references

Okay Kidd Muscle is just now a really boring character: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Comedy; there is a couple of stipulations outlined for Kidd's next match such as it is going to take place outside and for some strange reason it is going to have big electrified X in the ring as well and no it isn't an Ultimate X Match from TNA, even though within the confines of this TV program that or something similar would have fitted in nicely with this TV program. Kidd doesn't seem to get the message that Roxanne has emotionally moved on, but maybe he will now as she kicks him hard and up into the air; I know this is also meant to be comical, but it just comes off as the usual/consistent shtick which at this point is in the grand scheme of things is another thing that has lost its enthusiastic sparkle.

This episode receives: 5/10, this episode is mixed: there isn't much more I can say here really, other than this mark is a precise reflection on this episode.
