Muscle Spark is one of the three ultimate techniques of the Kinniku Clan. After throwing the opponent off with multiple body flips, the assailant will then perform a complicated lock, perfectly locking up all limbs of the opponent (while injuring him at the same time) and therefore nullifying any possible counter, before sending him straight to the canvas.

Due to the difficulty in performing these techniques, they are also the proof for one being worthy of the throne...

There was only once when Muscle Spark was countered, and it was when Kinnikuman didn't possess his full power. So if Remilia can still stand up after this, Marisa might just be screwed.

we can all hope that Reimu's crotch is still paralized, right?

I think it would be funny if after all this Aya points out that Reimu is still technically the tagged partner and this was all for nothing.

On a slightly different note, I wonder if a two frame finisher will mean victory like it used to in the past.

I wonder if Marisa's body will hold up.

Aww, I really hope this is enough for Marisa and Nitori to win.

Oh boy, this is just... eh.

TWO PANEL SPREAD!

Can Remilia pull a Orin in this comic? Turn into a flock of bats to get out of a hold?

Marisa's the secondary main character. It would be a shame if she didn't pull off one of Kinnikuman's own moves in the comic. and since when was this comic to be taken seriously anyway? It's not like Marisa's going to beat Reimu or else the universe will be sucked inside out due to failed plot armor.

I still want to know what Nitori did when she grabbed Reimu's ass. It looked like she was putting something in there as opposed to going for her shirikodama.

Man that looks like painful lock even without landing on the canvas, complicated too. Looks like it puts just as much of a strain of the guy doing it as the guy taking it.

F.I.A said in the previous strip:
There's only one technique with that stance. And it's...

Good eyes, FIA

Marisa appears to be emitting small white spheres for no apparent reason. Is that a Kinnikuman thing, or should I be confused?

I think that's just her breathing heavily. Remilia's emitting them as well in the first panel.

They did say Reimu was unpredictable.

This is the first time we've seen a Kinnikuman move right (I mean a move used by Kinnikuman and his son)? If so then who do you think will pull off the Kinnikubuster and Muscle Muillienium? And if someone DOES use the Muscle Millienium... I shudder to think of what the person they use on it will look like afterward.

Kaguya's used the Kinniku Buster a couple of times already.

And also, Kinniku Driver, Furinkazan and Niku-Lap. She's most probably saving Spark for the finale, but is now robbed the ultimate technique of all.

Well, there are still Muscle Revenger and Muscle Inferno...

I'd interpreted that as Marisa's leg also emitting them. I can see it as breath, but it still looks weird to me. Particularly in the first panel where they're appearing in two different places each--I guess that's meant to suggest that their heads have already moved before the previous one disappears, but it just looks like they're producing two at once in different directions.

Now the question about the first panel: Are Remi's arms making that loud and probably-not-healthy crack sound? Or is that Marisa as a whole cracking again?

And if RemiRei do end up winning this match, maybe Remi will pull a Muscle Millennium Vampire next match, seeing as she loves flashy show-offy moves.

I've got it: Remi's being taken out here, but Reimu's going to take them both on, which she'll be able too once they run out of tricks. Remi did almost everything in the last match, so now Reimu's going to get her chance to do stuff.

even though Marisa's temporarily enduring the full power of the Hakkero, I can't help but think about Crimzon Clover's Break Mode (the temporary boost to firepower). Therefore, I wonder if she has a Double Break Mode as well :D
