This Lotus Formula racecar was driven by Ayrton Seena. He was one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time. His life was cut short when he fatally crashed in Imola, 1994, but his legend lives on and he'll forever be known for his astonishing speed, sharp wit and selfless personality.

"UUU-RA-RA-RA-RA-RA!!!

 

GAH!!

What was that??

 

Ladies and gentlemen, that was the famous Apatchi no Otakebi (アパッチのおたけび or アパッチの雄叫び), or Apache War Cry of Geronimo!

 

Oh, maybe it could be saved for his match rather than scaring us all half to death.

Hi Geronimo!

I don't think he can see us.

Yep, serious hair problem there.

 

Now, sit back for the... ORIGIN STORY OF GERONIMO!

 

Oh, no...

This is gonna be forever.

 

Geronimo is a young Native American of the Cherokee tribe who was born a regular human. He stands 180cm (5'11”) and weighs 80kg (176lbs). He hails from Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma, and is a Chojin Kyodo of 830,000 Power.

 

Wait, if he's from the Cherokee tribe, why's he doing an 'Apache' war cry?

Shh! The origin is going to go on long enough as it is!

Well, I was just wondering! Don't the Cherokee have their own war cries?

 

As a boy his life was saved by a Chojin (later revealed to be the God of the Superman Road) and from then on he yearned to become a Chojin.

 

Wait, what?

Shh!!

Well, I don't know where the Superman Road is or who their 'god' is!

It doesn't matter!

 

Because of this he hides the fact that he is human and takes part in the battle against the Devil Knights. During the Five Story Ring battles, he shows that his Chojin Spirit (超人魂) exceeds that of a Chojin by defeating Sunshine in a tremendous victory.

 

Afterwards he passes the trial of the Superman Road (スーパーマンロード) and becomes a true chojin, later participating in the Universal Chojin Tag Tournament and the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne.

 

His eyes are partially hidden behind his forelock and he has brown skin. He is usually seen carrying a tomahawk and a hunting knife with him, but he hardly ever uses them. Geronimo typically wears his hair loose, where it flows to his mid-back, and a headband keeps it mostly in place, which covers his eyes. He tends to wear shorts, with fur-covered boots and arm-covers.

 

Geronimo is a young and optimistic chojin, who retains close ties to his human heritage. He is sometimes quick to anger, including resorting to acts of violence when unprovoked, especially when he first became a chojin (and struggled to adjust to his new nature). Usually, he retains a strong sense of justice and fights on behalf of those that are most vulnerable. He is dedicated to the path of righteousness, and idolizes older chojin such a Terryman. He is very expressive and emotional, but friendly to all he meets.

 

He and Terryman have a teacher/student relation, with Terryman acting as a mentor figure. Terryman was the one that saw the potential that was within him, even if he was a mere human. He travels back to Geronimo's village to ask for help, and after Geronimo became a chojin, they form a Tag team to enter the new tournament.

 

Geronimo was born a regular human. Once his father died, it left him and his sister - Amy - both orphans, and he was adopted by Chief Cheyenne. When he is ten, and Amy is nine, they ask the Chief to relay the story of their father, in which they are told he was a village hero who was executed; the execution occurs unjustly, as he was blamed for a fight among the white populace, when he was actually trying to mediate and stop the conflict.

 

This inspires Geronimo to be a good man, like his father, and he declares that he will make friends with all people but is misunderstood as being dangerous and antagonistic through a series of mishaps.

 

Later, Geronimo takes his sister into town. The local boys see them and push a boulder down the hill toward them. At the last second, a chojin steps forward to save them. He headbutts the boulder, breaking it into many pieces and saves their lives; this selfless action inspires Geronimo to want to become a chojin.

 

How is that a selfless action? The chojin who helped them was in no danger from the boulder.

Would you be quiet!?

 

He proceeds to train under the Chief for five years, until a group of men come to attack his village. He tries to mediate and peacefully stop them, but is beaten unconscious, at which point the police arrive and tensions escalate as the men and police fight.

 

Geronimo awakens and sees that the village children are preparing to roll a boulder down to the warring groups, which would kill the leaders of both groups, and jumps in front of the boulder to save them, even at the risk of his own life. The same chojin from before comes to protect him, once more shattering the boulder, and Geronimo's selfless actions remind the police and men about what is important in life, as they come to a truce.

 

The men carry Geronimo back to Chief Cheyenne, apologize for their actions, and leave. Geronimo is thus saved.

 

In the Golden Mask Arc, a mysterious force (General Devil) has been draining the power of all the Justice Chojin, which forces the Silver Mask to place them inside life-containment bubbles. Geronimo is first seen breaking out of his bubble.

 

After Kinnikuman’s fight with Sneagator, Geronimo breaks out of his bubble - fully healed - with his tomahawk. He refuses to let the other speak badly about Kinnikuman, which inspires Wolfman to break free of his bubble in turn.

 

Wolfman sacrifices his life-force so Kinnikuman can live again. Wolfman asks Geronimo to cut off his top-knot, as a symbol of his friendship for Kinnikuman, because Geronimo was the only one that was willing to defend Kinnikuman and speak in his defence. Geronimo obliges him and cries in response to his death. Warsman is later knocked unconscious.

 

It is Geronimo who realizes Warsman is still alive, and that they can revive him by shocking his heart. A well opens up that leads to inside Warsman's body, but only five people may enter, and so Geronimo bravely leads the way inside. He goes with Terry, Robin,**** Brocken Jr.***** and Kinnikuman into Warsman’s body. A five-tier ring appears, with each ring holding a different opponent.

 

Geronimo fends off The Ninja on the fourth floor, while Kinnikuman climbs the spine to reach the top ring. The Ninja switches places with Sunshine,***** forcing Geronimo to compete against him. At one point, he skewers the mat with his tomahawks so that Terry - in the ring below - could grab a hold of something during Asuraman’s****** Asura Buster.

 

In his fight with Sunshine, he started off hitting Sunshine with a fury of Tomahawk Chops. Geronimo lands a Flying Boy Press, but Sunshine counters by bending his legs. Sunshine uses his Sand Hell techniques on Geronimo, and Geronimo uses a Tomahawk Tornado to sweep away the sand.

 

After being pressed into the mat by Sunshine, Geronimo attempts another Tomahawk Chop, but the damage done to Sunshine is undone by his regeneration abilities. The sweat from Geronimo is also absorbed into Sunshine and makes his sand weigh even heavier, as he crushes Geronimo from above.

 

Sunshine prepares for a Back-Drop, and Geronimo breaks his hip attempting to counter with a Flying Maier. Geronimo tries a Guillotine Drop, but Sunshine stops him with a Giant Swing, and Geronimo manages to stop Sunshine with a headbutt, but sustains great damage in the process. Geronimo believes he has won when he chops Sunshine in half, but instead he found himself trapped inside Sunshine.

 

After forcing his way out of Sunshine's body, Sunshine begins to use his most brutal Sand Hell techniques. He uses a Canadian Back-Breaker, while Geronimo counters with a Reverse Suplex, and Sunshine attempts a Mexican Stretch. Geronimo uses a Toe-Kick to shatter Sunshine's body into multiple pieces, and Sunshine uses a Hell's Pyramid. Being severely injured - after having his gut stabbed by Sunshine’s Hell’s Pyramid technique - causes Terryman to realize that Geronimo is human.

 

Geronimo uses a Brain Buster, despite the pyramid piercing his heart. Sunshine rebuilds himself with his Hell Arc de Triumphe. Geronimo smashes Sunshine again, but Sunshine uses a sun-styled key to enter his sun-mark upon his chest, and this regenerates him. Geronimo keeps fighting and eventually grabs Sunshine's chest, where he removes the key that controls the Sand Hell techniques. As the key hits the canvas, Sunshine grabs his head and screams, causing Geronimo to realize that Sunshine’s weakness is loud noises. He used his trademark Apache War Cry.

 

This reduces Sunshine to dust, but - before Geronimo can finish - his heart stops. He remembers the bravery of the chojin who saved him and his sister, and he then sticks his hand into his chest and massages his heart. He finishes off Sunshine with the Apache War Cry. After this, General Devil made his appearance.

 

Geronimo tries to attack him, but is thrown out of the ring and falls five stories, due to a Double Arm Spin and a Hell's Guillotine. After General Devil and Ashuraman make their escape, the Five Story Ring begins to collapse, but Geronimo stands beneath it and holds it upright so that the others can escape. Warsman's tears allow him to be washed out of his body, along with the others, and this saves Geronimo's life. He is close to death, and so the others attempt to sacrifice a piece of their chojin power for him.

 

Due to being human, Geronimo's body will not accept their power. He dies. Near the end of the match, Geronimo’s spirit shows up and helps hold the ring upright. After the match reaches its completion, Geronimo is revived by the Perfect Mask and is seen alongside Wolfman.

 

In the Dream Tag Tournament, Geronimo is introduced in a comatose state. He is in a wheelchair, when Terryman announces that he will team with Geronimo. It is revealed that his soul may be 'dead', but his body is alive, and Terryman seeks to resurrect his soul and bring him back to full consciousness in time for the tournament. Geronimo is taken back to his village, where - even in his unconscious state - he manages to defend Terryman from an attack by his people. Chief Cheyenne reveals that Geronimo cannot be revived as a human, but could be revived as a Justice Chojin.

 

They summon forth the chojin God, while bringing forth the Superhuman Road. Geronimo travels along the road and encounters three different gateways; he breaks through the first with quick thinking and bravery, as he uses his body to allow two children to cross a ravine, and he passes the second by self-sacrifice to save others from a falling boulder. In the last, he is able to distinguish between good and evil, as he kills the image of Chief Cheyenne that threatens the lives of children. Geronimo is thus made a chojin.

 

Geronimo joins Terryman to form the New Machineguns.

 

He struggles to control his new power, such as accidentally hitting a child. After navigating a maze to be allocated their placement within the tournament, they are matched against Stray Akuma Chojin Combo. Like the other Justice Chojins, Geronimo’s Friendship Power was stolen by Asuraman and Sunshine. When they go to shake hands with their opponents, they play dirty and strike them with punches, instead.

 

Geronimo initially keeps to the sides, but helps Terryman with a combo move by jumping on his bridge. He is then tagged in to fight against Sunshine. He attacks with a Back-Drop.

 

Sunshine turns his body into sand and counters with a kick from below, and he then switches out with Terryman. Terryman then climbs on Geronimo's shoulders, so that they can match Asuraman with four arms, and engage with a Tornado Hell Return. During this attack, the dolls of Terryman and Geronimo are scattered on the floor and shattered, which foretells their eventual loss. The match continues in earnest, with both teams exchanging various blows. Geronimo listens to Terryman and makes several counters.

 

Soon Geronimo and Terryman are greatly injured in a Hell's Combination.

 

Sunshine attempts a Hell's Pyramid attack, but Geronimo - remembering his key part - tries to remove the key part from his chest to incapacitate him. The key part transforms into a giant pair of rollers, which suck Geronimo's right arm inside and he becomes victim to Sunshine's Cursed Roller. Listening to Terryman, Geronimo sacrifices his right arm in order that he may survive. They then switch places. When Geronimo sees how well Kinnikuman and Terryman work together, even when not teammates, he feels guilty.

 

Geronimo is then taken into an Asura Buster, and Asuraman holds him hostage, promising to release him only when Terryman lets go of Sunshine. Terryman sacrifices his stars on his arms, as he resigns from the match, but Asuraman still performs his Improved Asura Buster, and this impales Geronimo in his head. When Kinnikuman Great arrives to steal back the box and figures, he and Geronimo are thrown from the ring and forced to hold on for their lives. Geronimo begs Great to let go of him, so that he can save Terryman, and Great lets go to do as he wishes. Kinnikuman catches him and saves his life.

 

Geronimo would later help Dr. Bombay repair Kinnikuman's severed arm.

 

In the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne, when Kinnikuman requires five hand-prints to open a door, Geronimo appears.

 

After the Dream Tag Tournament, Geronimo went away alone and won the Hawaiian Championship Belt from Jesse Maivia.******* He then made his way to Osaka to compete in the final round of the Survivor Match. On his way, he runs into an injured Warsman (who had been severely injured by Mammothman).******** He takes Warsman to a hospital and agrees to take his place in the finals as a pinch-hitter.

 

When the group is trapped in a room with a spiked ceiling descending upon them, between the final matches of the final round, Geronimo - and others - cut their hands to offer blood to Kinnikuman. This fails to work, but allows Asuraman to sacrifice himself using Geronimo's knives.

 

Geronimo is then matched against The Omegaman in Meat's place.

 

The match takes place on a stone-ring, complete with a moat around the ring. Geronimo starts with a drop-kick to The Omegeman's face, followed by slamming him to the mat, and he attempts then to use an Elbow Drop. Omegaman got Geronimo in his deadly Omega Catastrophe Drop technique. It is shown that - seconds before Geronimo hit the ground - a shadowy figure blew the ashes of Kinniku Ataru’s Muscle Prophecy page into the ring, causing Ataru’s spirit to catch Geronimo’s head and act as a cushion.

 

As the fight continues, Geronimo realises that the figure was Neptuneman. Neptuneman brings the ashes back to him, while Geronimo tackles Omegaman into the moat. Omegaman unleashes a series of attacks and rises from the water with Geronimo's totem poll, making others believe that he is dead. Neptuneman throws seeds into the moat, which Geronimo uses to grow a tree to escape the moat.

 

Omegaman uses Omega Blood-Spray Fangs. Geronimo then drains all of his strength performing his Apache War Cry and Wood Cutter Hand techniques, which opens him up to another Omega Catastrophe Drop. Neptuneman (posing as The Samurai) tries to use Ataru’s ashes again, but Geronimo kicks them away. He says that he wishes to defeat the technique himself, but in actuality he was worried that Neptuneman would be noticed by the chojin Enma and be hunted down for the rest of his life.

 

Because of this sacrifice, Geronimo is defeated.

 

After the match, Super Phoenix burns Geronimo’s Muscle Prophecy page, causing him to disappear like Ataru Kinniku. During Kinnikuman's fight with Super Phoenix, when it looked like Super Phoenix would win and take the throne, the souls of Geronimo, Robin Mask, Neptuneman,********* and Ataru (all of whom had their pages burned) help Kinnikuman regain his stolen Kajiba no Kuso Djikara and win the fight. The four of them were later revived by Kinnikuman's Face Flash.

 

In the Perfect Origin Arc, Geronimo first appears on a Chojin Fan Appreciation Day.

 

The event comes after a historic peace-treaty is signed between Perfect, Justice, and Devil Chojin. During the event, the "real" Perfect Chojin arrive and Geronimo ushers the guests to safety. Strong the Budo strikes Geronimo when he objects to their arrival, and destroys the peace treaty as a true representative of the Perfect Chojin. Geronimo leaps into the ring to attack Strong the Budo, but his movements are perceived as if in slow motion by the significantly stronger Perfect Chojin.

 

Strong the Budo blocks Geronimo's blow, before punching him in the mouth to stop his Apache War Cry. He then throws him in the air, where he is attacked by Dalmatiman, Turboman, and Crushman. When Terryman attempts to intervene, Geronimo begs him to not fight on behalf of the other chojin, and Geronimo watches the match - heavily bandaged - from the corner of the ring.

 

When the Devil Chojin proceed to enter the first round of the tournament matches against the Perfect Chojin, Geronimo watches from the event arena with Terryman. The New Large Numbers arrive after the first round ceases, and attack Peek-a-Boo and Terryman, which leads Geronimo to attack them in defence of his companions. He uses an Apache War Cry, which Jak Chi stops with a Boiling Shot. Marvellous follows with a Rising Dragon, before Kinnikuman stops them from attacking Geronimo further.

 

Geronimo is taken to the hospital with Peek-a-Boo, where he spends the rest of the arc.

 

In an unnamed arc, Terryman, Prisman and Geronimo confront the Choushin at the Great Sphinx of Giza. Prisman's opponent is Bicorn, the God of Wrath. Bicorn delivers a lecture on the Great Sphinx of Giza and its true reason why its nose got shattered. Arrogant Chojin wanted to free themselves from the shackles of the Gods. Prisman tries a Rainbow Shower on Bicorn, but it bounces off because of his ozone layer-like protection. After using a failed Rainbow Shower against Bicorn, Prisman is carved up by Bicorn's Bicorn Horn Slicer and smashed into pieces by Bicorn's Wrathful Bicorn Drop. Both Terryman and Geronimo call out Prisman's name out of concern.

 

Surprisingly, Bicorn's finisher only breaks off Prisman's flab. Prisman takes advantage of this and kicks a bunch of Canvas Shuriken at Bicorn, who dodges all of that and slams down hard on Prisman's arm. Irritated, Bicorn states that Prisman's parlor tricks will not work. Prisman boasts that his body will not be destroyed that easily. Bicorn realizes that Prisman wanted Bicorn to break his body and tells Prisman that Prisman will realize his folly as a foolish Chojin. Bicorn wraps his horns around Prisman with a Blood Squeeze Horn.

 

Terryman orders Prisman to flee, but Prisman's 52,000,000 Chojin Kyodo isn't enough. As it turns out, Bicorn has a 99,990,000 Chojin Kyodo. In order to gain a physical form, all Choshin have to give up 10,000 Power, which is a mere pittance to them. No more Chojin could last long enough against a Choshin, anyways. Geronimo encourages Prisman, but Prisman is insulted and calls Geronimo a fake Chojin. Prisman follows Geronimo's advice and slips out, countering with a Red Rain of Berlin. Geronimo points that out, and Prisman notes that Brocken Jr. is also a "Chojin Cheat". However, those guys are not to be underestimated.

 

Bicorn, now full of wrath, orders Prisman to be silent and says that the Choshin are to wipe out the inferior Chojin race once and for all. Not one to mince words, Bicorn goes back to killing Prisman. Bicorn will discipline Prisman with an overwhelming show of force and stomp him into a million pieces. As he's stomped by Bicorn, Prisman retorts that it won't be that easy and counters with a Dragon Leg Screw grapple. Bicorn dodges and counters with a Flying Heel Kick. In a last ditch effort, Prisman fires off a Rainbow Shower, injuring Bicorn because he created a crack in Bicorn's Capillaria Ray protection. Prisman is surprised that worked at all.

 

Telling Prisman that his trick won't work if used multiple times, Bicorn kicks Prisman in the gut and pulls off a Hijack Horn Breaker. Struggling to get up, Prisman boasts that his Rainbow Shower worked on Bicorn to Geronimo and Terryman. Knowing that tactic worked, Prisman spams the Rainbow Shower, much to Bicorn's chagrin. Bicorn pulls off a Holy Tombstone Drop on Prisman, but Prisman continues his Rainbow Shower spam.

 

Even if Prisman could affect Bicorn with the Rainbow Shower, Bicorn still has the upper hand. Bicorn unleashes a beatdown on Prisman, ending with a Bicorn Trigger Gimlet. Bicorn has finally stomped Prisman out once and for all. During his supposed victory speech, Bicorn gets interrupted by Prisman impaling him through his chest. Prisman boasts that the Gods aren't as invulnerable as they would claim. Bicorn throws Prisman aside and tells Prisman to never underestimate the Gods. Just as Bicorn is about to pull off another Tombstone Trigger Gimlet, Prisman catches him and reverses it with a Prism Spiegel Crash.

 

The Prism Spiegel Crash barely affected Bicorn, but Bicorn fell for Prisman's trick. The real reason for the finishing hold is so that Prisman could get behind Bicorn and unleash a point-blank Rainbow Shower at Bicorn's exposed backside. Upon losing, Bicorn has a breakdown both metaphorically and literally as Bicorn can't believe that he lost to a "third-rate fool of a Chojin". The Choushin must wipe out the Chojin as they're too dangerous to live. Bicorn crumbles away to dust, giving Prisman the victory.

 

Due to his injuries from the fight, Prisman is about to pass away. To test his theory, Prisman blasts Geronimo with his Rainbow Shower, but Geronimo is unaffected, which means that Geronimo can handle the Capillaria Rays. Prisman reveals his secret on why he could use the Capillaria Rays: he's a Chojin made from a Capillaria piece that originally belonged to the God of Intelligence. The Capillaria piece is essentially is his heart. Before dying, he yanks it out and shoves it right into Geronimo's chest.

 

Geronimo is now the mortal chojin's ace in the hole in the war against the Choushin, but Geronimo is doubtful of his own worth and criticizes himself. Terryman refutes that and explains that Geronimo became a Chojin because Geronimo has the undying spirit of a Chojin inside of him. Geronimo has a flashback to the time he became a Chojin. He has a mission that only he can complete. As Prisman's powers flow through his body, Geronimo finally remembers his mission. With Terryman's help, he challenges the fallen Bicorn's teammates.

 

Techniques

 

Apache War Cry

 

An ancient Apache secret technique, Geronimo screams "U-Ra-Raーーー!!" (ウララーーー!!) at such a great volume it produces a powerful shock-wave that attacks the opponent. It is said to be powerful enough to break an entire mountain.

In the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne anime, it's name is changed to Wild War Cry (野生のおたけび, Yasei no Otakebi).

 

Apache Death Scream

 

A stronger version of the Apache War Cry. Used to destroy the Jikan chojin's "Legend" Destroying Bell.

 

Tomahawk Chop

 

Geronimo brings both hands together and strikes his opponent with a chop. The name "Tomahawk Chop" is also used to refer to Geronimo's basic chops. In the anime he uses one hand.

 

Tomahawk Tornado

 

Geronimo holds both arms up and spins around violently, creating a small whirlwind that attacks the opponent. In the anime he uses one arm.

 

Wood Cutter Hand

 

Used against The Omegaman. A Flying Chop powerful enough to chop down a tree.

 

Hell’s Tornado Return

 

A tag technique with Terryman. Geronimo jumps onto Terry's shoulders and they both hold all of their arms up to one side. They then throw their arms down to the other side, causing Asuraman's "Hell's Tornado" to turn around and attack him instead.

 

Sorrowful Rain of Friendship

 

A tag technique with Brocken Jr.. As Geronimo performs his Tomhawk Chop, Brocken performs the Red Rain of Berlin. Their hands come together and become englufed in a flame as they strike the opponent.

This marquee was the final tribute to my friend, Rob DeShazer, who tragically passed away before his time on October 9, 2018. Rob was a person beyond words, capable of fantastic acts of selflessness and giving. He loved music, he loved his community, he loved his family, and perhaps most of all, he loved his four-legged friends. From the moment I first became acquainted with him in the years after high school, I knew him to always be a musician of many talents, having played guitar, drums, and lead vocals in more than one band. When he moved to his adopted home town of DeKalb, IL (home of Northern Illinois University), he found new ways to give back to the community whenever he could, and even when he couldn't. The name of his last band was blaKeD (DeKalb spelled backwards). When he became owner of the restaurant/bar Tapa La Luna in downtown DeKalb, he organized food and toy drives each holiday season, a tradition his wife and restaurant carry on to this day. He never met a dog he didn't like, and when one would walk by his restaurant, he would often go outside to pet it. His love of animals was so deep that he rallied the community to donate old chairs for an animal shelter in a distant community nearly 3 hours away so their animals would no longer have to sit and sleep on cold concrete floors, and he even drove the furniture down there himself.

 

I'd like to think that this sums up his personality all in one image. The theater marquee represents his showmanship as a rock star. The DeKalb and NIU signs are for the community he loved so much. The corn is symbolic of his life as an Illinois boy. "Thanks for the Love" is a direct reference to everything he did for his community, and everything they did to give back. And perhaps most importantly but most subtly, the NIU Huskie Head logo represents his love of animals, especially dogs. This one's for you, Rob. I know you're surrounded by your beloved furry friends. As you were so fond of saying, "That Poo Poo." You give yourself away.

 

To give Rob's music a listen, please check out the Blaked Official channel on YouTube, which serves as a memorial to Rob's musical talents.

“Summer is a period of luxurious growth. To be in harmony with the atmosphere of summer, awaken early in the morning and reach to the sun for nourishment to flourish as the gardens do. Work, play, travel, be joyful, and grow into selfless service. The bounty of the outside world enters and enlivens us.”

The beauty of family bonds is evident in small acts of love. On a cold day in France, a young girl felt chilled, and her father gave her his jacket to keep her warm, even though he himself remained without one. This selfless gesture reflects the deep love parents have for their children.

Part of the Mount Isa Rodeo since inception and a charter member of Mount Isa South Rotary Club in 1967, Ray Donaldson's passion and selfless service saw him serve as Rodeo Chairman from 1977 until his death in 1984. His stewardship of the Isa Rodeo resulted in major upgrades to facilities at Kalkadoon Park and Carrandotta and he personally sought new sponsors and greatly nurtured existing relationships in order to constantly grow the event. Heavily supported by wife Elaine, Ray's massive commitment meant the Donaldson children thought it perfectly normal to spend every weekend either at Carrandotta Station or playing at Kalkadoon Park where their parents became 'worker bees'. Ray's most lasting legacy was in establishing Bell & Moir Toyota's relationship with the iconic event. More than 50 years later, Ray's company remains a major supporter of the Isa Rodeo and Bell & Moir Toyota's donation of vehicles for the annual art union has raised millions for the local community. Ray's service saw him named a Paul Harris Fellow as was Bell & Moir Toyota, several times over.

Today is the day that we Buddhists celebrate the enlightenment of Buddha and thus rejoice in the path of peace and liberation from suffering, which he so selflessly offered up to us and made his life's mission. It is a day that changed the world and I seek to keep that vision and energy alive today. My wish is that next Rohatsu be one that greets a liberated Tibet, a liberated China, a liberated Burma and liberation in all forms for all of us. I hope you all had an insightful and peaceful Rohatsu and I bow to you all.

The September Sessions - Pigle'ts Lament

Was lying in bed the other night, wide awake, staring at the ceiling. Suddenly the stillness was broken by a faint rustling noise. Sounded like the flapping of little wings, or maybe tiny feet racing across the floor of the attic directly over my head. Maybe a mouse I wondered, but I hadn't heard it before now. Maybe a critter just moved in. But then it occurred to me that I'm normally not sleepless at this hour. Maybe the mouse runs across the attic every night and I simply don't hear it. Recently a portion of almost every night is spent this way. I think about the millions of other people that are also lying awake staring at their bedroom ceilings. The pandemic has upended lives and changed how we look at just about everything. Lately I worry about the longterm effect of unrelenting anxiety. Normally the proverbial valleys of daily life are counterbalanced by peaks. Bad days are interspersed with good ones and that helps us balance the books, so to speak, in terms of mental health. But now it seems there are no peaks as we've driven over a precipice into an enormous valley. The next big peak seems distant and very conditional (if we do this or that, if a vaccine is developed, if, if if). The negative effects are widespread and far reaching. Economy depressed, closed schools and businesses; people withdrawn from society. Even basic grocery shopping has become an anxiety-inducing experience. And all of that pales in comparison to the staggering death toll. And it worries me how the daily death counts have are becoming increasingly abstract. The mind just cannot fathom the numbers anymore as the bar for shock is raised on a daily basis. A mental numbness sets in through the constant repitition of the news cycle. I force myself to tune out for a portion of the day to prevent overload and being overwhelmed. I suppose a reset like this was inevitable. It's goin g to end, sooner or later. We'll emerge into a new normal. But it won't be the old one. Many adaptations are probably here to stay. Almost every day something surfaces in my life to remind me of the time before all of this. Trivial things like old photos, emails, notes and letters that remind me how priorities have shifted so drastically. Things that reveal the pettiness of my prior annoyances and problems in the present context. I would gladly embrace all of those issues now in exchange for the present reality. Everything is relative. I expect I haven't heard the last of my attic sounds. They are like a metaphor for the virus itself. Whatever the hell is making those noises, I hope it can't get inside.

lazy forest forget me

when i'm gone

the beat of the moon light

lazing away

golden sun says so and i am not about to

thru my veins

that carry sorrow and joy

from my life

Happy Birthday Dad.

 

Hope you are celebrating in the heavens.

 

I think I miss you more this year than last. There is such a large hole in our lives where you used to be.

 

Remembering you on your special day and how much you gave to us selflessly and enriched our lives. Missing your strength and laughter and love and just you. I am so grateful to have had you as my Father.

 

Love, Cher

On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, millions of people worldwide pause to remember. To remember the lives that were lost, the sacrifices that were made, all by the selfless soldiers fighting for something more. After the battles were won, and the men emerged victorious, poppies began to grow, like a flower out from nowhere.

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

 

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

 

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

 

--

So much for regular updates, eh? Oh well, what can you do.... life is throwing me every which way at the moment and busy seems the word! Other than busy though, all's well right now, so that's a bonus :)

 

Thanks again for all your support! It's much appreciated!

Piotr "Peter" Rasputin was born on a Soviet collective farm called the Ust-Ordynsky Collective near Lake Baikal in Siberia. He lived there with his mother Alexandra, father Nikolai, and sister Illyana.

 

His older brother, Mikhail, had been a Soviet cosmonaut and had apparently died in a rocket accident. The family was descended from Grigori Rasputin.

 

Peter's superhuman powers manifested during his adolescence while saving his sister from a runaway tractor. He was then contacted by Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men.

 

Peter Rasputin was part of the second generation of X-Men, formed by Charles Xavier to save the original X-Men from the living island Krakoa. He agreed to leave the farm community where he was born to go to the United States with Xavier. Xavier gave him the name Colossus. After the battle was won, Colossus remained in the U.S. with the new X-Men.

 

Colossus is typically peaceful, selfless, reluctant to hurt or kill, and often putting himself in danger to protect others. In some of his earliest missions, he battled the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, and visited the Savage Land, where he met Nereel.

 

Peter's family always remained in his thoughts and he frequently wrote letters home. Shortly after joining the X-Men, a woman known as Miss Locke kidnapped many of the team's loved ones to force the X-Men to help her free her employer, Arcade, from captivity by one of Doctor Doom's robots.

 

Among her captives was Colossus' younger sister Illyana, whom Locke had kidnapped from the Siberian collective farm and transported to the United States. Arcade brainwashed Colossus into becoming "The Proletarian", who then battled the other X-Men until they countered the brainwashing.

 

The X-Men freed Illyana from captivity, and she went to live with her brother Peter at Xavier's mansion. She was later held captive in a dimension known as Limbo, where she spent years while only mere moments elapsed on Earth, and became the adolescent sorceress Magik.

 

When the X-Men fought the evil mutant Proteus, Colossus attempted to kill Proteus, an act he found morally questionable even though he did it to save Moira MacTaggart's life.

 

During his early career with the X-Men, Peter started what was arguably his most significant relationship with fellow X-Man Kitty Pryde. Although they were only a couple for a short while, the relationship provided the foundation of a deep and lasting friendship.

 

Colossus was later almost killed in a battle with Mystique's Brotherhood of Mutants, but was saved by Rogue and the Morlock Healer.

 

During the Secret Wars, he became infatuated with the alien healer Zsaji, and wondered if his feelings for his teammate were not wholly genuine, temporarily ending his relationship with Kitty Pryde. Emotionally distraught, he afterwards engaged in a bar fight with Juggernaut.

 

During the Mutant Massacre, Colossus became heavily involved in the X-Men's efforts to save the Morlocks from the Marauders. When Kitty was severely injured by Harpoon, Peter gave in to his rage and snapped Riptide's neck.

 

He eventually passed out from previous wounds inflicted by Riptide. Magneto, with the aid of Shadowcat, used his powers to heal Peter's armored form, but the process left him paralyzed. He was sent to Muir Island to recuperate, along with Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, and the surviving Morlocks.

 

Over time, Colossus' wounds healed, but he was trapped in his armoured form and could maintain his human form only with the utmost concentration.

 

When he saw the X-Men in Dallas during the Fall of the Mutants, he had his sister teleport him to the battle, as Destiny had not seen him in her vision of the X-Men's demise.

 

When the team decided to sacrifice themselves to stop the Adversary, Colossus gave his life alongside them to save the world. Like the rest of the X-Men, he was revived by Roma and decided to let the world believe him dead while he and the X-Men worked out of an Australian base.

 

Following the Inferno event, Illyana was returned to her original Earth age. Colossus decided it would be better for Illyana if she went back to live with their parents in Russia.

 

In time, Colossus was reunited with Nereel in the Savage Land, and met her son.

 

After the X-Men began falling apart with Rogue vanishing, Wolverine taking off, Longshot quitting, and Storm apparently killed, Psylocke telepathically prodded the remaining three to disband and travel through the Siege Perilous to gain new lives.

 

Peter emerged in New York with no memory of his past life, inventing a new persona for himself as 'Peter Nicholas', where he quickly became a successful artist. He battled the Genoshan Magistrates.

 

He began having visions of a beautiful model, who turned out to be Callisto transformed by Masque. The two were kidnapped by the Morlocks, though Peter had no memory of his time with the X-Men.

 

He resumed his armored form and defeated Masque. He was saved by Forge, Banshee, and Jean Grey, who decided it better that he live his new life rather than be dragged back into theirs.

 

Peter was psychically dominated by the Shadow King and sent to hunt down Stevie Hunter and Charles Xavier.

 

Xavier had no choice but to destroy the Peter Nicholas persona to break the Shadow King's hold. Colossus joined in the battle of Muir Island, and rejoined the X-Men as a member of Storm's Gold Strike Force.

 

The X-Men later found themselves in another dimension, where they discovered that Colossus' brother, Mikhail, was alive in that world.

 

Mikhail returned to Earth with the X-Men, but was distraught with having been responsible for the deaths of the original crew from his first trek into the other dimension.

 

Mikhail established himself as leader of the Morlocks and planned to use them as a part of his mass suicide which he thought would grant him retribution or at least reprieve from his guilt.

 

This would prove to be a great source of grief for Peter in an upcoming string of family deaths that would lead to him temporarily disbanding from the X-Men.

 

However, unbeknownst to the X-Men, Mikhail survived. In a seemingly last second change of mind, Mikhail transported himself and the Morlocks to another world. Later, upon learning this, Peter was disappointed by his brother's departure and blamed himself.

 

Back in Siberia, Peter's parents were slain and Illyana kidnapped by the Russian government, who hoped to genetically evolve Illyana to the point where she would have the use of her powers again, to defeat the mutant known as the Soul Skinner. Colossus, with the help of the X-Men, saved Illyana and brought her back to the Mansion.

 

Later, Illyana became an early victim of the Legacy Virus and died from it. The loss of his immediate family, as well as brain damage that forced him to remain in armored form, caused Colossus to rethink his position with the X-Men and join Magneto and his Acolytes, who had offered him an alternative to the X-Men's pacifist philosophy of peaceful mutant/human coexistence.

 

Colossus recovered from the brain damage soon after, but decided to remain with the Acolytes of his own volition, hoping he could temper their extremist methods with what he had learned from Professor Xavier.

 

Colossus is a mutant with the ability to transform his entire body into a form of "organic steel", with properties similar to osmium but of still unknown composition.

 

Colossus must transform his entire body into this armored state; he cannot transform only a portion of his body. When he transforms, he gains approximately 1 ft (30 cm) in height; official figures state his height at about 7 ft 5 in (230 cm) in transformed state versus 6 ft 6 in (200 cm) in normal human form. His weight is more than doubled.

 

In his armored form, Colossus possesses superhuman levels of strength, as well as superhuman stamina and durability. His physical strength is currently greater than when he first joined the X-Men due to the realignment of his cells by Magneto following an injury during the Mutant Massacre.

 

While in his armored form, Colossus requires no food, water or even oxygen to sustain himself and is extremely resistant to injury. He is capable of withstanding great impacts, large caliber bullets, falling from tremendous heights, electricity, and certain magical attacks.

 

While he has great resistance to temperature extremes of hot and cold, extreme heat followed by rapid super-cooling has been shown to cause damage. As he is vulnerable to the anti-metal Antarctic Vibranium in his metal form, his body instinctively shifts to human form when faced with an Antarctic Vibranium weapon.

 

Colossus is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained in Judo by Cyclops. He has had training in acrobatics and sword fighting from Nightcrawler.

 

In his human form, he is still exceptionally strong and in superb physical condition, though not superhumanly so. He has completed college-level courses at Xavier's school.

Week One: Selfless Self Portrait

I’m oppressive, because I’m part of oppressive society. I, in my privilege, have pointed out oppression. So I, in my privilege, have perpetuated oppression—thus proving myself to be an oppressor. My privilege is a stumbling block to the oppressed, which makes me an oppressor. In my privilege, I am a champion of the oppressed—an oxymoron. Since I am an oppressor, all that I have left to do is to loath my hypocritical self. Therefore I must not only hate society, but I must also hate myself. In the end my dialectic will cause my own downfall. My truth will be my destruction. Yet I don’t care, because I must follow my satanic cult to destruction. It is what consumes me, it is what I know best—destroy, destroy, destroy! Instead of selflessly helping poor neighbourhoods, I selfishly burn them down—rioting and looting. The end justifies the means! I selfishly demand, but I never selflessly give. My goal is to tear down society, not to build it up—yet in the process, I am tearing myself down. It is for the greater good!

 

I like to say “do not judge,” yet I make judgments about society—that it is bad and needs to be destroyed. I make judgments on people, whether they are good (oppressed) or bad (oppressors). Since I don’t believe in absolute truth, don’t believe my judgments/truths, because they are not true. I am an antiracist racist, and an antifascist fascist. Indeed, my truth is nothing but lies.

 

Here is a faith based statement: you can choose your own gender. Indeed, it takes blind faith to believe such a statement! You are woke puritans, spreading the gospel of your neo-Marxist/Antichrist religion. You are religious fanatics. You believe that your prescribed doctrine is unquestionably true. You are absolutists, who like to police people. “Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.” Your diversity is all about ideological conformity. Indeed, you collectivists love conformity!

 

You hate hierarchies, but you yourselves have your own woke hierarchies (hierarchies of victimhood/victim status). Your hierarchies cause resentment, which produces hateful bullies/oppressors/tyrants like Lenin, Stalin, and Mao (your heroes). You tear down one hierarchy, only to replace it with a hierarchy that is much worse. Your hierarchy revolves around hate (oppression) and revolution (rebellion), so when you come to power you murder millions of people (genocide). You are bitter, so you hate. You hate, so you kill. Your hierarchy will eventually bring in the Antichrist; then many more will die at the hands of your oppressive hierarchy. Can anyone say: genocide!?!

 

Our Hegelian dialectic moves on, pushing the moral boundaries of society farther down the rabbit hole of depravity. Society must be torn down, so that we can reBuild it Back Better. Order out of chaos! We will build a New World Order, replacing humans (oppressors) with transhumans. The goal: transhumans will eventually evolve into a raceless and genderless slave race, without families or cultures—equality for all! We will all be equally enslaved by our elite oppressors! Survival of the fittest! “There’s a sucker born every minute!” Humans/oppressors are obsolete and must go. They must become extinct. Artificial Intelligence must reign supreme; through it we will have eternal consciousness…godhood...bahahahaha!

 

We are the oppressors, and mother earth is the oppressed. We are nothing but poison to the earth. Woohoo—Net Zero Emissions, a mass cult suicide! Since all humans are oppressors, we must all go, we must all be replaced. Climate change—the real enemy is humanity itself. Transhumanism is the future. Eventually humans will be no more, and we will no longer oppress the earth. Artificial Intelligence must replace us.

 

Where is this cultural revolution headed? Just read the Bible! The oppressors who hate humanity will embrace transhumanism—the destruction of humanity. 666 take the Mark, worship the Beast! Your cult is of the spirit of Antichrist, and it will produce an Antichrist. Freedom bad! Authoritarianism good! You think that you are inclusive, but you are not inclusive when it comes to God and His laws. You suppress the truth, because you are an oppressor. You suppress freedom, yet the Bible says: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” Indeed, you don’t know what freedom is. That’s why you have embraced your bondage. You are nothing but a slave to your truth, your selfishness, your sin!

 

Revelation 13:4 “And they worshiped the Dragon (Satan) because he had given authority to the Beast (Antichrist), and they worshiped the Beast, saying, ‘Who is like the Beast, and who is able to make war with him?’”

 

In the end it’s a spiritual decision: whom will you serve? Will you serve Jesus or the oppressor? I already know your answer, because you are drawn to oppression like a moth to light—that’s why you oppress others. Like Satan, your goal is to destroy society and humanity. In the end your plans will go to hell, and so will you.

 

Your woke religious dogma is broke—you oppressors are oppressing our society.

 

Repent, for the Day of the Lord is near!

 

Piccadilly Circus / London

White magic has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for selfless purposes. Practitioners of white magic have been given titles such as wise men or women, healers, white witches or wizards.

Although this is a sad portrait, this woman is inspiring, selfless, and making a difference.

Politically or philosophically, we may disagree, but we cannot deny their courage, devotion and selflessness. 35MM, 1.4, AI Nikkor manual focus lens on Canon 6D via Fotodiox Pro extension tubes.

This is the famous Jama Masjid in Old Delhi. The man cleaning the premises, a selfless service to the almighty.

While in London recently we came upon this Who is Hussain? parade near Trafalgar Square. I was unfamiliar with the Who is Hussain? organisation but people were handing out information leaflets. The website gives the following description (as well as much more information):

 

"Striving for a selfless & just society!

 

With society as divided as it has been, the example of Hussain inspires us. We aim to build a more selfless society, with our teams all around the world engaging in random acts of kindness, not for a reward but because it is the right thing to do."

 

While large parades and marches might be quite common in cities like London, it was something I don't usually come across in my home town (on this scale at least), so it was interesting to make a few photos as the people passed us by.

 

The Hymn of God's Word " God’s Love Is Not Possessed by Any Created Being"

Introduction

1. The words of God are full of life, offering us the path we should walk, the comprehension of what the truth is. We begin to be drawn to His words; we begin to focus on the tone and manner of His speaking, and be intentional to care about this ordinary person’s inner voice.

2. For us, God works His heart out; for us, He can’t sleep or eat; for us, He weeps and sighs; for us, He groans in sickness. He suffers shame for the sake of our destination and salvation

3. Ordinary people don’t have such being and possessions of His. Also, any of the corrupted men can’t possess or attain them. His tolerance and patience are beyond ordinary people, and His love is not possessed by any created being.

"Hey Bijou Planks!"

 

It's Terryman!

Hi Terryman!

You're always fun! *

 

"Well, I just want to warn you, today's my origin."

 

Oh! Ah...

Just a moment!

Here's money, run and buy me a pillow.

At the concession stand??

No! Across the street at the store!

Oh, here's my money, pick me up one of those inflatable mattresses.

We can't be sleeping on the floor during the show!

It's an origin! We'll be sleeping in the chairs for sure!"

 

"Okay guys, here goes! Announcer?"

 

Terryman is a left-handed Justice Chojin from Texas and Kinnikuman's best friend. He is very business-like and looks down on Kinnikuman, when he first appears within the anime and manga, but - on seeing Kinnikuman's strong sense of justice and fair-play - they soon become best friends.

 

Personality

Terryman was originally introduced as a chojin who would only fight for money, who was also immensely popular, and this led him to act in a cruel manner to people. This changed very quickly in the early chapters, where - inspired by Kinnikuman - he fights only for justice and strives to always help those in need, especially Kinnikuman.

 

He quickly became Kinnikuman’s friend, and developed a calmer and composed personality, but still maintains a funny and charismatic side. Terryman became a passionate individual, even sacrificing his leg and his life in order to safe other people or animals (as seen during th 21st Chojin Olympics preliminaries, were he saved a puppy from been run over by a bullet train). He shows an upbeat and energetic actitude, and won’t ever surrender or give up, even in the worst situations, making him a respectable and loved figure in the Idol Chojins.

 

Appearance

Overall Design

Terryman is a highly muscular man, who is described as handsome throughout the manga. Terryman has white hair, dark blue/grey eyes and wears a red outfit consisting of red boots with white laces, red knee-bands, red shorts and gloves. In the anime, his colour scheme has changed to blonde hair, and a blue outfit. On his forehead is the character 米 (Bei) and on his shoulders are the Star Emblems (スターエンブレム) which give him his Fighting Spirit.

 

Prosthetic Leg

At the 20th Chojin Olympics his left leg is shot and wounded by Kinkotsuman, which causes him to need a prosthetic leg in order to continue fighting (however, the leg can be very easily removed ).After a while, the leg was no longer mentioned. This changes in the Perfect Origin Arc. It was revealed that Backlund was able to create a perfect, improved version of the earlier prosthetic, which is able to be sturdily affixed and perform as perfectly as a flesh-and-blood leg.

 

While fighting against Justiceman, however, Terryman got his latest prosthetic badly damaged, and - as Backlund is revealed to have died - it leaves no one able to rebuild his prosthetic. Even when Backlund was alive, he cautioned Terryman about his prosthetic leg being one of a kind, unlikely to be ever repaired or fixed. Terryman's sacrifice ultimately convinced Justiceman to forfeit, a he was touched by Terryman's keen sense of justice. He now relies on a lesser - visibly fake - metallic leg.

 

Relationships

Kinnikuman

Terryman is the best friend of Kinnikuman. The two meet very early on in their careers, in their early twenties, and are at first antagonistic to one another, but soon they socialise on a regular basis, even with other members of each other's social circles. They form a tag-team that lasts for the entirety of their career, and - even when they temporarily argue or part - always reunite to work together and support each other. They display an unconditional trust and affection, often listening to one another when they would listen to no one else. They are shown to be friends, even into the Kinnikman Nisei series.

 

Natsuko Shono

Natsuko showed an instant attraction to Terryman, with whom she often went on dates and supported in his matches. Natsuko can be possessive, sometimes verbally or physically attacking other fans that compete for his attention, and the two are very close friends with Kinnikuman. Terryman sometimes prioritises fighting over Natsuko, such as striking her unconscious so that he can fight in a match, but ultimately he cares very deeply for her, even willing to cancel a once-in-a-lifetime match to care for her when she was in the intensive care unit of a hospital. Once married, they live together on a Texan ranch, but sleep in separate beds and dress in the same clothes. They raise a child named Terry the Kid together.

 

Terry the Kid

Terry the Kid has a strained relationship with his father. In flashbacks, Terryman was a strict teacher and trained Kid thoroughly, even pitting him in a death-match against Volcano. Terryman is seen to be an attentive father, but sometimes struck Terry the Kid when Kid spoke rudely of his friends. Kid spends most of the series motivated by trying to be better than his father, resenting all comparisons to him, but - despite all this - Terryman and Kid are seen affectionate and supportive of each other at later points.

 

Geronimo

Terryman was the one that saw the potetintial that was within him, even if he was a mere human. He travels back to Geronimo's village to ask for help, and after Geronimo became a chojin, they form a Tag team to enter the new tournament.

 

History

The Young Prince of London Arc

Terryman watches Robin Mask alone in a bar, while drinking from a distance. He later watches while Robin Mask sacrifices his Chojin powers for Alisa Mackintosh, and Terryman laments - while crossing off Robin's name for a list - that the man he was scouting sacrificed real potential for a human woman.

 

Later, Terryman reappears when Robin expresses a wish to get back his powers. He breaks up a fight between Robin and some human youths, while carrying a piece of Stonehenge, which was an integral part of Robin losing his powers. He tosses the stone to Robin, who recovers his powers, and then stops one of the youths from escaping, by using a signature move on their leg.

 

Terryman watches in awe of Robin Mask, while defending him to Paul Mackintosh. Terryman tosses him back his helmet and armour, while saying that he now has faith Robin will be a great wrestler and that he did not waste his time by travelling to London. Terryman then joins the crowds in watching the match between Robin Mask and Guillotine King.

 

Kinnikuman

Terryman initially appears as an antagonist, only helping people for money. He learns from Kinnikuman the meaning of Friendship Power, while falling in love with Natsuko Shono, and comes to be a major protagonist. Terryman loses his leg during the Chojin Olympics, resulting in him using a prosthetic leg. He will team up with Kinnikuman several times, as they form a tag-team called The Machineguns, and temporarily assume the identity of Kinnikuman Great. He will also work for Team Kinnikuman in the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne Arc.

1st Kaiju Extermination Arc

Terryman first arrived as an American Super Hero taking over Kinnikuman's designated area of Japan. Terry charged money for his services, which the Japanese Government considered "a small price to pay compared to being saved by Kinnikuman", and soon he was made the sole Hero of Japan (meaning only he was legally allowed to fight against monsters and evil chojin).

 

A child comes to Terryman for help, as his father has been taken hostage by a monster, but Terryman kicks the child (whom lacks the finances to hire him). Kinnikuman strikes him for refusing to help someone in need, before choosing to help the child instead; Terryman warns him that the military will attack him for not being an approved hero. The selflessness of Kinnikuman convinces him to change his ways, as he fights for justice and not for money.

 

Terryman next appears during a meeting between Natsuko and Kinnikuman, in which he defeats a monster. He flirts with Natsuko and flies away. When a competition between chojin and monsters arises, Terryman refuses as he will not make any money. He changes his mind when he realises Natsuko will be present. The match is set to be a tag team, but Kinnikuman walks away, and this leads to Terryman being attacked with scissors. Kinnikuman hears his screams for help and returns.

 

He is seen on a date with Natsuko, too. During the date, Kinnikuman is attacked by Kinkotsuman and Terryman comes to his defence. He also teases Kinnikuman for not having gadgets, such as hover-bikes. Terryman later is forced to fight Natsuko when she is turned giant and evil by one of Kinkotsuman's schemes; he confesses his love and refuses to harm her, but - when Kinkotsuman attacks them - Terryman is willing to die for her safety. Kinnikuman intervenes and Natsuko is returned to normal size. After a trip to the south with Kinnikuman, they soon become best friends.

 

Roots Island Arc

Kunta first appears in the male onsen , where she throws herself on Kinnikuman and begs for his help. Natsuko introduces Kunta as the princess of Roots Island, and Kunta explains that her island has been overrun by Kaiju, as well as that many warriors have been killed by Ukon. When Terryman and Kinnikuman agree to the job, she gives each of them a kiss on the cheek, before they ride on Miss Karasu to the island in order to defeat the Kaiju.

 

As they arrive, they are greeted by Elder Yosaku, and introduces them to the last warrior of the island: Tabuchi. Kinnikuman and Terryman travel together to Roots Island to help Kunta and save the islanders.

 

Harigoras arrives at the same time as Octopus Dragon, but - while Kinnikuman fights Octopus Dragon - Terryman takes on Octopus Dragon. Harigoras turns into a ball-like creature, much like how a hedgehog curls in on itself, before he shoots it with a gun and destroys it (as it explodes into an array of body-parts).

 

After they defeat Harigoras and Octopus King, a piece of meat appears before Kinnikuman and he eats the meat. Custom dictates whomever eats the meat must fight Ukon one-on-one in battle. It is meat thrown by Ukon in a challenge. Eventually, Mammora destroys Ukon and it is revealed Kinkotsuman and Iwao were working the robot the entire time, but they soon run away. When Kunta is rescued, she pays Terryman and Kinnikuman with stone money (which they cannot use).

 

20th Chojin Olympics Arc

Terryman is first seen in this arc, when he tells Kinnikuman that he cannot compete in the Chojin Olympics as Japan's representative has been removed by the chairman.

 

He also reveals that he is the Southern USA representative. Terryman and Specialman appear together as the USA representatives in the opening ceremony, and later wins the first preliminary match, which is Rock-Paper-Scissors.

 

He is distraught in the second preliminary match by Specialman's defeat, and deduces that his accident is at the hands of Kinkotsuman. During the battle royale, to determine who comes in eight place during the third preliminary round, Terryman realises that the referee is Kinkotsuman in disguise and arranges his defeat, which leads Kinnikuman to win the match by default. The first match for Terryman is against Skyman. After an exchange of blows, Terryman is knocked briefly unconscious. Specialman - in his injured state - comes to cheer Terryman onward; Terryman defeats Skyman with an Oklahoma Stampede.

 

At the Nippon Budokan, Terryman arrives to the semi-finals alongside Robin Mask. Terryman gets up at the end of the Kinnikuman vs. Ramenman match, at which point he sees Kinkotsuman attempting to assassinate Kinnikuman with a gun, and gets shot in the leg by accident. He crawls to his dressing room, where he is found by Natsuko, and begs her not to tell the chairman, as it would cause him to forfeit his match against Robin Mask (which is about to start). Terryman knocks Natsuko unconscious, before arriving at the last minute for his match. He pretends to not be injured, before fighting with dirty tactics. He throws sand in Robin's face and uses steel knuckle-dusters to attack.

 

Terryman screams in pain when he attempts his spinning tone-hold. Robin implements the Boston Crab, which causes him to give up and forfeit the match. Natsuko reveals that Terryman fought injured, at which point Robin Mask and Kinnikuman offer him their places in the finals. He then engages in a minor scuffle with Kinnikuman, as they bicker as friends. He later dances with Natsuko at the ball celebrating the finals. In a competition to determine who will be third place, he then battles Ramenman.

 

Terryman wins the match due to foul-play by Ramenman.

 

The Lost Three Days

Kinnikuman sets his sights upon Terryman as a tag partner, but only has three days until the tournament starts to convince him of participation, and - on reaching Terry's Ranch - Kinnikuman begs him, only for Terry to rebuke him due to a lack of time. Kinnikuman strikes Terryman, which knocks him off his horse, and this reveals that he has lost his leg, which Terryman states makes him useless as a partner. He thus rides away.

 

A ranch-hand - Buckland - reveals that he has a prosthetic leg that Terryman can use, and gives it to Kinnikuman so that Terryman may fight again. Kinnikuman waits outside the ranch, even forgoing food and rest, in hopes that Terryman will take pity on him and use the leg.

 

The next day Terryman wakes them with water to the face, after they pass out from heatstroke. Terryman says that he will work with Kinnikuman, only if Kinnikuman can fill up his trough; he gives him two bags, and tells him the river is fifteen miles away. To do this, he lends Kinnikuman a wild horse (knowing that Kinnikuman will never tame the horse and thus make the necessary trips). The horse is named Machinegun.

 

Kinnikuman still refuses to find another partner, and - after being attacked by the horse - manages to eventually mount Machinegun. At sunset, Kinnikuman makes the first round-trip to empty some water into the trough. While Terryman goes about his daily routine, Kinnikuman continues to fill the trough. Kinnikuman bonds with the horse and tames him. Kinnikuman makes it back just in time to win the bet made by Terryman, and Terryman thus dons his prosthetic leg and agrees to join his team.

 

The two go on to enter the tournament.

 

American Tour Arc

A tag tournament is announced, in which Kinnikuman must engage in a round robin. He must fight the Chojin Council, Chojin Federation, Chojin Association, and the Kaiju - the winner of the four groups will gain control of America. Kinnikuman finds Terryman in Amarillo, Texas; Terryman initially refuses to participate, due to the work on his ranch, and it is revealed he has lost his left leg.

 

The wound he obtained by Kinkotsuman increasingly got worse, until he was forced to amputate. Kinnikuman eventually convinces him to use a prosthetic leg by winning a special bet. Kinnikuman has to ride on the most wild horse on Terryman's ranch, Machinegun, and draw some water from the nearby river. After learning that Machinegun lost his leg by bear-trap, Kinnikuman understands the horse's plight and promises to stick by Machinegun until he trusts other people again. Just as Kinnikuman is about to lose the bet, he makes it back with the last bit of water.

 

Over 100,000 people attend to watch the tournament in Houston, Texas. They form The Machineguns, with the theme of "The Magnificent Seven" as they make an entrance. Their first match is against Beauty Rhodes and Jean Steamboard, who form The Emperors. During their match, Terryman is accidentally knocked out by Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman begins to lose, but Terryman wakes up long enough to save Kinnikuman with his own body. The match ultimately ends in a draw. The next few matches take place in Los Angeles.

 

Terryman and Kinnikuman are set to win by default against Rugged Brothers, as one of their opponents lost in their previous match and is unable to compete. Kinkotsuman reveals that he is the new tag partner, and the group rename themselves Monster Master/Student Combo. Kinnikuman and Terryman get trapped under a lighting rig that Kinkotsuman crashes down on them, but Kinnikuman knocks Terryman out when Terryman panics over the loss of his leg when faced with Kinkotsuman that caused his leg injury. Kinnikuman wins the match in record time against both Kinkotsuman and Iwao.

 

In the The Emperors vs. Blood Illusions match, the Blood Illusions continue to attack despite The Emperors forfeiting the match. Terryman enters the ring to intervene; Terryman loses his prosthetic leg and is attacked by the Blood Illusions, as is Meat when Meat comes to his defence.

 

The next few matches take place at Madison Square Gardens, New York. Terryman panics in the waiting room while waiting for their match against the Blood Illusions, and seeks to quit the tournament, but a small boy in a wheelchair comes to return his lost hat. The boy also lost his leg, but - since seeing Terryman fight - was inspired to use his prosthetic leg to walk again, and walks unsteadily to Terryman. Terryman promises to be brave, just as the child was brave to try his prosthetic. Iwao intervenes in the match and removes Terryman's prosthetic leg. Kinkotsuman hits the child and knocks him unconscious.

 

Kinkotsuman keeps attacking the unconscious child, as he clings to the leg to prevent Kinkotsuman from destroying the lower limb. In this arc, Terry got stabbed in the forehead repeatedly, and from this point on, his forehead kanji looked more an asterisk. Beauty Rhodes returns the leg to Terryman. Terryman goes on to win the match and celebrates with the child, while they - the New World Supermen Association - goes on to control America.

 

2nd Kaiju Extermination Arc

Beansman goes to Texas to find seven chojin to protect Planet Rakka. He tests Terryman's power with a monster, which Terryman easily defeats. Terryman agrees to help the planet. They travel the world together to find the rest of the seven chojin needed to fight. They win against their opponents and manage to save Planet Rakka.

 

21st Chojin Olympics Arc

Terryman prevents Kinnikuman from fighting Wolfman, as the first preliminary events occurs. He wins the first round by not falling from the giant sieve. He wins the second round of a swimming competition, where they must swim faster than the ensuing fire, and cheers on Kinnikuman. [48] The third preliminary match tests how far each chojin can push a train; after pushing it far enough to disqualify Wolfman, who will now be in last place, he chases after the train at full speed. He stops the train to save a puppy, but the act of touching the train - after it has left the station - disqualifies him and allows Wolfman to be an entrant.

 

He acts as a commentator for much of the arc that follows, such as the final preliminary event. This trend follows even into the finally fight between Warsman and Kinnikuman, where he still acts as a commentator.

 

Seven Devil Chojin Arc

During the celebrations for the 21st Chojin Olympics: The Big Fight, the Seven Akuma Chojin are accidentally freed by Kinnikuman. They kidnap Alexandria Meat during the festivities, and each take a body part, and declare that Kinnikuman must defeat each of them to retrieve a part and bring Meat back to life. When Kinnikuman is later injured during his match with Stereo Cassette King, Terryman tries to fight in disguise as Kinnikuman, but it ultimately defeated as the remaining Seven Akuma Chojin fight him 6-on-1. The Mountain finishes this attack with a Mountain Drop.

 

When Kinnikuman beats Black Hole, he cannot fight any longer and the Justice Chojin decide to fight on his behalf. The remaining Seven Devil Chojin - and justice chojin - match up to find their opponents, and The Mountain is matched with Terryman (and the Mountain possesses Meat's hips). The match will take place in the Chichibu mountains. At first, it appears that Terryman is alone in the ring, but then the Mountain reveals he was disguised as one of the mountains and was there all along.

 

They exchange a series of blows, but - while grabbing Mountain in a Spinning Toe Hold - Terryman notices one of the laces on his shoe has snapped (a bad omen in Japanese culture). He later is in danger and caught on the ropes by Mountain. Terry attacks with a Deadly Drive, only for another shoe-lace to snap. A third lace snaps, but barely holds together, and Terryman realises that Brocken Jr. is clinging to life.

 

Terryman barely avoids a Body Slam.

 

The last string of Terryman's laces snaps. Terryman is heavily beaten by the Mountain, but - when Mountain insults his fallen comrades - this reinvigorates Terryman into attacking anew. Terryman cries, as he attacks Mountain, even when Mountain is touching the ropes and his actions are illegal. Terryman climbs the ropes and chances a Flying Knee Drop, but the attack causes Terry extreme pain, as it injures his prosthetic leg. The Mountain attempts a Mountain Drop, but Terryman counters with ease and stops the attack.

 

Terryman ends the match with a Brain Buster. The Mountain reveals that - although defeated - he won't die alone, and the ropes to the ring snap as he grabs at Terryman's ankle. They both fall from an extreme height, which results in The Mountain's death and Terryman's seeming demise. It is revealed that - remembering his promise to Kinnukuman- Terryman clung to life and returned to reunite with his friends.

 

During the fight with Atlantis, he, Brocken, and Mongolman go through the Spirit World Pocket to stop the fallen Devil Chojins from manipulating Kinnikuman. During the fight with Buffaloman, Terry is the one who gives Kinnikuman the idea of giving Buffaloman too much power.

 

Golden Mask Arc

Terryman appears with the other justice chojin for a fitness test.

 

It is during this time that the Golden Mask and Silver Mask are separated, resulting in all justice chojin slowly losing their power, and Terryman is the first to seen faint. Terryman rushes to attack the Devil Knights, but is knocked back by them. Terryman - along with his companions - are placed into plastic bubbles, which act as life-support devices. During Kinnikuman's battle with Planetman, Planetman steals the souls of the siegi chojin trapped within the life support devices. Terryman - and the others - are saved when Kinnikuman sacrifices Warsman in order to protect the rest of the group and defeat Planetman.

 

This defeat of Planetman restores Terryman - and others - to full power.

 

Warsman is revealed to be alive, but in a precarious state. Terryman decides to turn into a microscopic size and go inside Warsman's body, along with Robin Mask, Brocken Jr., Kinnikuman, and Geronimo. Terryman decides that the group will hold off the remaining Devil Knights, until Kinnikuman can reach the top floor and retrieve the Golden Mask - the matches will take place on a tower of rings formed along Warsman's spinal column. Kinnikuman eventually manages to climb his way to the third floor of the tower inside Warsman, where Terryman is fighting Asuraman.

 

When Ashuraman seeks to defeat Terryman with an Ashura Buster, Kinnikuman jumps into the ring to absorb the impact and save Terryman's life. Terryman manages to gain some advantage in battle, but Ashuraman steals both of his arms and leaves him without the ability to use attacks involving his arms. It is revealed that - during battle - Terryman allows Warsman's control unit to be hit, which causes him to spasm and threatens all their lives (and Warsman's), and only a second - and equal strike - will save the unit.

 

Terryman is willing to sacrifice his life to the Asura Buster to save the others.

 

Asuraman reveals that he never stole Buffaloman's arms, which gives Terryman an idea: he borrows Buffaloman's strength to summon his arms and use them to replace his missing arms. He grabs Geronimo's tomahawks, as Asuraman lifts him into the air, and commits the Honourable Death Drop against Asuraman, as both he and Asuraman plummet towards the control unit. He uses Buffaloman's arms to finish the blow to the unit, which gets it to work again.

 

Ashuraman is the first to stand after the attack, which means he has technically won, but - with both him and Terryman out of the ring - he has to return to the ring to claim his victory. Terryman uses the last of his strength to tackle Asuraman and prevent him from returning to the ring, which results in a draw. Terryman holds Asuraman back long enough for Kinnikuman to continue his climb. He soon collapses out of exhaustion, but - even unconscious - he manages to keep a leg hold on Asuraman, keeping him in place.

 

Dream Chojin Tag Arc

A second Mount Fuji appears in Japan.

 

On top of this mountain, the Universal Chojin Tag Team trophy appears. Underneath, there appears a series of rings that allow for eight tag-teams to compete. Terryman - along with the other justice chojin - goes to Kourakuen Hall to discuss the situation. After the others announce their group, Terryman states he has no reason to object to their decision and walks away. Terryman reveals he will not team up with Kinnikuman, but instead seeks to work with Geronimo and bring him back to full health (since he is now in a vegetative state).

 

Terryman visits a Cherokee village in Oklahoma, where - despite his soul supposedly having left his body - Geronimo protects him from being attacked by the villagers. Terryman begs Chief Cheyenne to heal Geronimo and bring him back to full health. Once Geronimo is healed, and turned into a chojin, they arrive together in Japan for the tournament. They enter their ring through a randomised set of corridors, which pits them against the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo. Later, when the justice chojin group together to protect Robin Mask, whose face is exposed, Terryman refuses to offer his help and states that his merciful nature has made him weak.

 

First Rounds

The New Machineguns - (compromised of Terryman and Geronimo) - start the match dirty, by attacking after pretending to shake hands with their opponents: Stray Akuma Chojin Combo. Terryman starts to strangle Asuraman with a bandage. Asuraman counters with a Body Slam, and Terryman then calls Geronimo in for a tag-team counter-move, before he tags in Geronimo. Terryman soon starts to doubt himself and regrets not having teamed with Kinnikuman. They then break off two of Ashuraman's arms.

 

The dolls collected by the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo scatter and break on the ring-mat, which leads Terryman to suspect that it means his destiny is to be killed in the match. They exchange a series of blows, but are soon outmatched with a Hell's Combination technique. Terryman is then heavily beaten, but Geronimo fails to understand his hand gestures, and Terryman realises his mistake in pairing up with someone other than Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman offers his support from the crowds, reinvigorating Terryman who nearly wins against Sunshine, but Asuraman threatens to take Geronimo's life lest Terryman concede.

 

Terryman rips off his stars from his arms, symbols of his chojin nature, and concedes. He is saved by Kinnikuman Great, when the Stray Akuma Chojin Combo fight on past the bell, but this act costs Kinnikuman Great a vast deal of injuries and incapacitates him. It is shown that Kinnikuman Great is dying, and he gives Terryman his mask and asks Terryman to act in his place: Terryman agrees.

 

Prince Kamehame's spirit then trains Terryman.

 

Semi-Finals

A tug-of-war determines that Terryman's next match is against the Stray Devil Combo again (due to him assuming Kamehame's position and joining Kinnikuman's team with no one wiser). The match takes place with their competitors surrounding the ring, so no one is allowed escape except through death. Terryman struggles to keep pace in the match, but Kamehame's spirit tells him that he should try to emulate him less and be his own person, and so he starts to use his own techniques and style again.

 

They begin to work well together as a team, until the cursed canvas comes to life with the spirits of the Seven Devil Chojin they destroyed in an earlier arc. The Muscle Brothers start to fail once more, when - after sowing seeds of doubt about Kinnikuman Great II's identity - Kinnikuman and Terryman start to fight among themselves, with Kinnikuman demanding to see his face. When Terryman sacrifices himself for Kinnikuman, it reignites their Friendship Power. The two then manage to win the match, after a series of events and some flashbacks to Ashuraman's childhood, with a Muscle Docking technique.

 

It is later Terryman who discovers Doctor Bombe is deceased, and stops the others from uncovering his dead body, lest it demotivate them, and he then buries Bombe alongside his best friend: Kamehame. The final match is against Hell Missionaries; the ring is surrounded by swords, which will pierce anyone thrown out of the ring or who tries to escape. [93] The match will be a three-round match, with each round lasting ten minutes until the final round, which will have no time-limit attached.

 

Finals

During the match against Neptuneman, some of Terryman's blond hair is exposed. More and more of Terryman's face is exposed, as he panics at the idea Kinnikuman may reject him on learning the truth, and thus leaves himself open to attacks. With only seconds to spare, Terryman is defeated with a Cross-Bomber in the first round and his face is revealed. Terryman has his stars returned to him by Asuraman, who rejects how he gave up earlier, and - thus due to not having technically quit his match - is still eligible to compete in the tournament, as he never technically lost.

 

They gain an advantage in the second round, and Kinnikuman - now their friendship is renewed - tears his white vest to offer a makeshift bandage to Terryman. They later manage to trick their opponents by switching places underneath the ring and swapping masks, and this lets them gain the upper-hand. Terryman is then knocked out of the ring onto the spikes, where he is incapacitated. They work together, after Terryman recovers to win with a Muscle Docking.

 

The two of them win the third round when both opponents faint.

 

They then continue together to retrieve their trophy.

 

Survivor Match Arc

Prehistory

Terryman attends Kinnikuman's coronation.

 

He is appointed "Staff Officer" of the Justice Chojin Corps. When the Five Fated Princes arrive, Terryman states that he is unable to help Kinnikuman due to his new role requiring him to be impartial, and that - as Kinnikuman is no longer prince he must not join his team. Terryman - instead - returns to Texas to teach his students, such as Dickieman, and watches the first round matches on a television set. On seeing Kinnikuman murdered in the ring, he abandons his medals and flees to go to the ring.

 

Terryman vs. King the 100-Ton

During the match against King the 100-Ton, Terryman and Robin Mask arrives together to save Meat. They are allowed to fight on Kinnikuman's team, as he has secretly added their names to the member roster in invisible ink (which is now visible). Terryman thus takes over in the match against 100-Ton. Terryman enters the ring on Kinnikuman's behalf, who begins the match with a drop-kick that is easily blocked by King, and - as tries again with a punch - his fists become bloodied.

 

King then jumps on his hands. King takes off several of his weights, until he is left with only 20 tons, as he seeks to prove a point to Terryman. This allows him to move at a quicker speed. King then presses a lever on the ring, which reveals a see-saw was hidden beneath the canvas. Each time King jumps on the see-saw, he adds weights to his body and Terryman goes higher and higher, until he finally strikes the ceiling at some force.

 

Terryman learns to time his attacks, so he can reverse the see-saw and send King hurtling backwards. After Terryman gets him in a hold, King withdraws his limbs inside his body and turns into a spherical shape. King is able to split into two balls and return as one, which enables him to be creative in his attacks, and finally his turns into a giant dumbbell, which starts to crush Terryman under its enormous weight. Kinnikuman discovers King is being manipulated by Kinnikuman Mariposa, who uses signs to tell him how to attack, and Kinnikuman uses a sign to force King to return to his usual form. Terryman is then able to use a Texas Clover Hold.

 

King finds a stray card, which allows him to turn his body into spikes to fight off Terryman. He finally returns to his full weight and full power, and he plans to hit Terryman with full impact, intending to break every bone in his body. It indeed breaks every one of Terryman's bones. Kinnikuman bends the see-saw with a Face Flash, which allows Terryman to alter his cause and headbutt King. The flashcards all fall from the ceiling in the kerfuffle, which causes King's body to shift chaotically into everything at once. Terryman takes advantage by stopping him from transforming, using the ropes of the ring, and wins with a Calf Branding.

 

This breaks King into dozens of pieces, killing him instantly. Unfortunately, a falling piece of 100-Ton's body knocks out Terryman, which means the match ends in an official tie. Terryman is too injured to continue, and so Robin Mask takes over against Kinnikuman Mariposa. When Robin struggles in his match, Terryman appears - heavily bandaged - to offer support for Kinnikuman and motivate Robin. Terryman is next pitted against Motorman, but is treated to a barrage of attacks that he is too weak to fend off.

 

Terryman vs. Motorman

Motorman appears as a competitor and second guard for Team Kinnikuman Zebra, where he is pitted against Terryman in Himeji Castle. Motorman lays a series of blows against an already weakened Terryman, until Terryman traps him in a double-arm suplex. The suplex is incomplete, leading Motorman to dive head-first into Terryman, who catches his drill with both hands. He proceeds to use his Battery Claw, before drilling into Terryman's chest. This is followed with a Spark Ring Flash.

 

Terryman aims an attack for his legs, which do not emit light, and knocks him down to the mat, but Motorman retaliates with a Drill-a-Hole Spark. He hits Terryman and sends him flying out of the ring. [113] Terryman is caught by Ramenman, who is in disguise as Bikeman. He is then laid down to rest.

 

Perfecting the Muscle Spark

Once healed, Terryman helps Kinnikuman train for his final match.

 

They work with Robin Mask on top of two adjacent towers, before a crystal lake pool, where they throw down dummies and judge by the reflection what position works best. Terryman then sacrifices himself, so that Kinnikuman can practise on a real human as opposed to a dummy. Terryman - now too injured to participate - sits out the rest of the tournament to rest and recover. Once recovered, Terryman - along with other Justice Chojin - go to the final battle to offer support, where he meets Kinnikuman Super Phoenix's mother and leads her to Osaka Castle. He is last seen supporting and celebrating Kinnikuman's victory.

 

Kinnikuman (2011)

Perfect Origin Arc

Prehistory

Terryman is reintroduced saving a boy in Japan.

 

He has come to Japan at the request of Meat Alexandria, where three chojin factions plan to sign a peace treaty: Justice Chojin, Perfect Chojin, and Devil Chojin. Terryman is the spokesman for the Justice Chojin. He signs the treaty at the Japan Martial Arts Stadium, and several days later he participates in a Chojin Appreciation Day. After his shoelace snaps, he notices that the arena is being invaded. Terryman gets the children to safety, when it is revealed these are Perfect Chojin from outer space.

 

After Max Radial defeats Specialman and Canadianman - and Tileman, Curry Cook, and Benkiman are turned into humans - Terryman jumps into the ring to protect people and stop the Perfect Chojin. He punches Strong the Budo and declares a full-scale tournament. Natsuko and Geronimo beg Terryman not to compete, as he would need to defeat all seven chojin alone, but he states that he must for the safety of the world. He picks a card at random that determines his opponent: Max Radial.

 

Terryman vs. Max Radial

The match takes place at the Tokyo Dome. Terryman attacks from the red corner, before the match begins, before landing a storm of punches and proceeds with a Spinning Toe Hold. It is revealed Max Radial's legs are made from suspensions, so the leg hold has no power, and he tightens them and releases them so that Terryman is sent flying in the distance. Terryman attempts a Calf Branding, but Max's tires stop his face from making contact with the ring canvas.

 

Terryman is attacked by a Drift Tackle, but - when he stands - his body is torn with slashes from the tires. Terryman attempts to counter with an Oklahoma Stampede-styled Throw, but Max stops this with a Big Radial Fin. Max attacks again and again, until Terryman's skin is ripped into shreds. Even after Terryman faints, he stands and prevents another Drift Tackle.

 

It is revealed that Terryman has been wearing down the tires on Max Radial's shoulders, which is where Terryman starts to focus his attacks. Terryman manages to scrape the rubber from the tires, before exploding the tires. He is finally able to use a Calf Branding attack and a Texas Condor Kick, before winning with a Tenacious Blow. Terryman falls out of the ring, only to be caught by Kinnikuman. When Max Radial is murdered by Strong the Budo, Terryman is horrified and fails to understand them.

 

Interim

As such, he fought and won Max Radial, getting grievously injured, sitting over until the Perfect Origin arrival.

 

Terryman vs. Justiceman

Justiceman fights Terryman on the 3rd floor of Yggdrasil.

 

Terryman grabs Justiceman's head with a Texas Bulldozer, but Justiceman counters with a back-drop. While Terryman writhes in pain, Justiceman attacks again with a Moonsault Drop, and Terryman uses this as an opportunity for a knee-crusher. The attack fails and Justiceman knocks him back. Justiceman announces that he will accept the Perfect Chojin are wrong, if Terryman can best him in battle. He also states that he intended to fight to the death. Terryman accepts and attempts a series of blows, but none work.

 

Justiceman tries to stomp on a downed Terryman, but Terryman attempts to knocks him down with a sliding kick. The kick misses, but Terryman manages to grab Justiceman's other leg and knock him to the canvas, before using a Spinning Toe Hold. The crowd cheers for Terryman, but Justiceman kicks him away and counters with a triangle-hold. He then uses a shoulder-throw to toss Terryman across the ring.

 

After flinging Terryman around the ring, but Terryman realises that Justiceman has a pattern to how he fights: he always uses "logical" movements. Terryman feigns a Condor Kick, which Justiceman raises his arms to counter, but Terryman changes to a double-somersault kick. He then uses a German Suplex, followed by a full-weight moonsault (aerial moves he would never usually move, so an opponent would not logically expect). Terryman uses a King Kong Drop, but Justiceman evades and uses a Judgement Crash.

 

The move does vast damage to Terryman's arms, but the stars on his arms begin to glow. Terryman proceeds to use continual middle-kicks with his left leg, despite seeming to have injured his left knee, but Justiceman blocks every kick. It is revealed that Buckland created Terryman a new artificial leg, almost as good as an organic leg, but the leg cannot be replaced if it is broken (especially due to Buckland's death.

 

Justiceman counters by attacking Terryman's right leg, before Terryman attempts a Texas Clover-Hold. The move is countered by Justiceman, who uses a knee-bar on the right leg, but Terryman breaks from the hold. Terryman accuses Justiceman of taking pity by not attacking his left leg, but Justiceman states he wants to leave Terryman no excuse for having lost the match. He follows this with a Judgement Twist, which destroys enough bones and tendons to make Terryman's left arm useless.

 

Terryman tears out two corners of the ring, which creates a Texas Twister. This knocks Justiceman to the canvas, allowing Terryman a chance to use the Texas Twister once again, but this time Justiceman is able to counter with a chop. Terryman follows with a Calf Branding. It fails to damage Justiceman, who uses an ankle-lock on Terryman's right leg and breaks his leg. A Judgement Avalanche follows, which causes the light on Terryman's stars to diminish. Even without working limbs, Terryman headbutts Justiceman.

 

Justiceman attacks back with a Justice Penalty. The light returns to Terryman's stars, as he regains his Texan Spirit. The force of the Judgement Penalty knocks Terryman's prosthetic leg from his body, and - despite his extensive injuries - Terryman crawls towards Justiceman. He tries to fight, but Justiceman declares that he already found him "guilty" when he used his Judgement Penalty, and he cannot judge a person twice; as Terryman survived the move and Justiceman cannot continue to fight (due to having given judgement), Terryman wins as the match is effectively forfeited. He gifts Terryman his dumbbell.

 

Justiceman proceeds to compliment Terryman's Fighting Spirit (what Terryman dubs his 'Texan Spirit').

 

Post-Tournament

He travels with Kinnikuman, Meat, and the rest to watch the final fight: The Man vs. General Devil, in Australia.

 

Omega Centauri's Six Spears Arc

Terryman attends Planet Kinniku for an awards ceremony, a month after the previous arc.

 

He has been given a new prosthetic leg, albeit inferior to the last. A force-field proceeds to trap him inside the Kinniku Palace, alongside the other Idol Chojin. The force-field also shuts down the palace in the demon realm, trapping inside the Devil Chojin, and the Chojin Graveyard; it is revealed Satan put the force-fields in place, as he plans to unleash the Omega Centauri Six Spears onto Earth.

 

Unnamed Arc

Prehistory

Terryman finally makes contact with Kinnikuman from Muscleham Palace. He states they were trapped due to a barrier created by Satan, but - now Satan is defeated - they can make contact and leave the palace. The Man asks the eight Justice Chojin to break up into teams of two, in order to defeat the choushin, and go to their locations: Terryman teams up with Geronimo. After twenty-four hours of preparation, the Man sends Terryman and the others to the choushin. The first location is revealed to be in Egypt.

 

After Terryman realises he is in Giza, Egypt, a ring bursts out of the sand and Prisman appears inside the ring. Prisman fights against Bicorn, leading Terryman to watch the fight alongside Geronimo. After Prisman dies, Geronimo becomes disheartened and Terryman inspires him to keep on fighting and maintain hope.

 

Then, once the Tower of Babel is opened, Terryman encourage Geronimo to go, saying that he isn't in good conditions to fight against the menace of the choushin.

 

Kinnikuman Nisei

Terryman is rarely seen in the first part of the manga. We see him mostly in flashbacks, where we know he has married Natsuko and owns a ranch in Texas, and as since fathered Terry the Kid. He is sometimes seen supporting his son in his matches, such as being their during the preliminary round of the Chojin Olympics, and later participates in a tag-team exhibition match with Kinnikuman against the 20 Million Powers.

In the Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament Arc, a pair of Time Chojin go back to 1983. Terryman initially refuses to believe the Time Chojin or the Time Warp 8 are from the future, before participating with Kinnikuman as part of the Machineguns in the Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament to defeat the New Generation participants. He eventually loses against the Muscle Brothers Nouveau in the semi-finals, where he realises that the New Generation were telling the truth, and goes on to support them.

Kinnikuman vs. Terryman

In a special edition chapter, Meat tells a story to Terry the Kid and Mantaro Kinniku. In which, Terryman challenges his best friend Kinnikuman to a fight. This is an filler arc set twenty-nine years previous to the Chojin Olympic Resurrection. After twenty-six years of service, Kinnikuman was set to return to Planet Kinniku, but Terryman challenges him to a fight for honour, and Kinnikuman is granted fives days for the match (preparation and the fight itself). He announces the fight will be at 6pm Todoroki Stadium, with no press or audiences allowed.

 

Warsman arrives at Terryman's ranch in the USA, riding a horse, and he is alongside Buffaloman - they declare they will help him to train. They initially defeat Terryman, proving he has a lot of progress to make to defeat Kinnikuman. Two days later, Terryman is able to defeat them both. They leave together for the match, only to discover Natsuko was in a car accident. Terryman stays by her side in the ICU, while Warsman and Buffaloman sleep outside. Natsuko awakes just long enough to tell Terryman to go to Japan and fight.

 

When Terryman cannot be found, Kinnikuman is one of the only people who believe he will appear. Robin Mask acts as referee and announcer, but it then begins to rain and Kinnikuman is scheduled to leave in just one hour. Terryman arrives at 6:50, just ten minutes before Kinnikuman must leave. Robin Mask intervenes at 7:00 to announce the match is a draw, and Kinnikuman and Terryman embrace.

 

Dawn of Terry the Kid

Kid returns home bruised and injured, which causes Natsuko Shono to chastise him, as he has came home from school with injuries every day for two weeks. After Terryman talks to Kid, Kid reveals that a new jujitsu chojin has transferred to his school. The jujitsu chojin then forms a new jujitsu club without Terry the Kid.

 

After Terry the Kid expresses a desire to join the jujitsu club, giving up wrestling, Terryman takes him out onto the ranch to fulfil a Terry Clan family tradition, which is to remove tree stumps at least once a day from the male chojin's tenth birthday. After Terryman cuts down the trees, he tells Kid to remove the stumps, but Kid grows tired and fails to remove any more. A group of Kid's ex-teammates show up, where they proceed to mock him for the training with his father, and mock Terryman in the process, at which point Volcano reveals he was the jujitsu chojin that displaced Kid and stole his teammates for a new club.

 

Terryman recognises him as the son of The Mountain, and Volcano declares that he wishes to challenge Kid to a fight to the death, which will occur in two days time. The Mountain is driving the truck that takes them away, and rams a street-sign that is sent hurtling against Terryman, who is injured by the pole. Terryman teaches Kid not to be afraid, which inspires Kid to train and remove all the remaining stumps, and Terryman leaves to go to bed for the evening. The following day, Kid has removed all stumps but one.

 

There is a four-leafed clover under the roots of the final tree, but Kid remove the tree stump without harming the four-leafed clover, and this begins the creation of his new signature technique: the Texas Clover-Hold. This move is witnessed by Terryman, who watches in surprise the success of his son.

 

Two days later, Terryman drives to the Palo Duro Canyon with Terry the Kid.

 

Terryman watches from the side-lines, as Kid expresses fear at the upcoming events, and Kid's club cheer on for Volcano. The Mountain reveals that he chose the venue due to his match against Terryman happening in a mountain range, and discusses how - after he died and went to the Chojin Graveyard - that Satan gave him a chance at a new life in order to exact his revenge. He raised his son to exact revenge on his behalf. Terryman states that he believes his son will win, as his son has the passion and heart.

 

At several times, Kid expresses fear throughout the match. Terryman reiterates that he believes in Kid's abilities and that Kid has a Texan spirit, and that - if he could overcome his training - he can overcome this match with just as much ease. Kid proceeds to use the Texas Clover-Hold, which defeats Volcano and secures him a victory. After Kid manages to save his lucky charm, Terryman appears on the ring and reveals that is where the name of their family-technique originated, as well as that he is proud of his son.

 

Hercules Factory Arc

Originally, Terryman had little impact in the sequel story. He appeared as one of the vanquished veteran chojin who were defeated by the dMp, but for the most part appeared in flashbacks regarding his son.

 

It is revealed at the Hercules Factory that Terryman still spoke highly and kindly about Kinnikuman, even slapping his own son for accusing Kinnikuman of stealing the glory, the limelight and the best trophies from his friend. This forces Terryman and Kinnikuman to attempt to repair the friendship between their sons; it pushes their sons into a repeat of their vitriolic, close knit, argumentative relationship of their earlier days.

 

D.M.p Arc

Terryman appears in several small flashbacks.

 

He explains to Terry the Kid that the Kenyon family aren't designed for high-impact power moves, as they do not put on a lot of muscle mass, and thus Terry the Kid would hurt himself trying moves like the Kinniku Buster. They instead inherit massive arm and leg strength, as well as a tenacious spirit, and have strong signature moves, such as the Spinning Toe Hold.

 

In a second flashback, Kid remembers how his father would ride horses in the ranch, and how - one time - he was thrown from the horse and Kid assumed he would be hurt. Terryman catches his balance and holds himself upright on the horse with both hands, and uses this as a lesson to Kid not to ever look away in fear, as the Texas spirit is what makes their clan strong and will always protect them.

 

Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament

Prehistory

Terryman is first seen winning the 1983 Universal Tag Tournament.

 

He - alongside Kinnikuman - wins the tournament with Muscle Docking at 48 minutes and 23 seconds. They are stopped from removing the Championship trophy by the Time Chojin, who Terryman suspects are ancient Chojin from the past, unaware of their current status or strength or purpose.

 

They attack Terryman, who has been weakened by his previous battle. The Time Chojin reveal they are from 34 years in the future, setting the current arc in 2017. Robin Mask intervenes to save Terryman and Kinnikuman's lives, but dies in the process, which leads to Kevin Mask dying in 2017, as he is slowly wiped from existence. This triggers the New Generation to go back, in an attempt to save Robin's life.

 

The New Generation arrive before the Legends, but - when Terry the Kid seeks to make contact with his father - Terryman swat him away at a distance. Terryman believes them to be on the side of the Time Chojin, so he refuses to trust them. [148] After Alisa Mackintosh is severely injured in place of Robin Mask, the Time Chojin say that this is proof they are all on the same side, and Terryman completely distrusts them. When the New Generation attempts to make an emergency phone call, this panics the Legends - unused to seeing cell phones - and Terryman attacks Check Mate.

 

Harabote Muscle then announces a new Ultimate Chojin Tag Tournament.

 

On television, it is revealed Kinnikuman and Terryman have reformed The Machineguns, were they are seen training and sparring together. Terryman later spies on Terry the Kid and Robin Mask, as they train in an old gymnasium, but Natsuko Shono unmasks him and confronts him. Terryman later arrives at the tournament itself alongside Kinnikuman as Entry #1. Terryman starts an argument with Terry the Kid, when Harabote announces a battle royale to decide the tournament finalists.

 

Battle Royale

Terryman and Kinnikuman start the battle royale by attacking Terry the Kid together. Later, while Terryman attacks Neo Chopin, Kinnikuman attacks Roseman; this causes Roseman to expand his rose into full bloom. Roseman uses his Vampire Rose technique against Kinnikuman, and Neo Chopin uses Sickle Note to attack Terryman.

 

Roseman brags about his technique, as Kinnikuman's breathing starts to slow down. The Adrenalines try to intervene, but The Machineguns tell them to keep back, and Kinnikuman rips his way out of Roseman's body. Terryman also wrenched the sickle from his body, and together The Machineguns use the Muscle Docking techniques against The Celebrities. The Celebrities then disqualified and dragged out of the ring by medics.

 

After the Time Chojin fight against the Muscle Brothers Nouveau, the Machineguns intervene.

 

They stop the Time Chojin with backspin kicks, before Terryman captures Lightning in a Pendulum Breaker, and he follows up with a synchronised attack with Kinnikuman. The Time Chojin counter and knock The Machineguns onto the mat. When they struggle in battle, Barrierfreeman and Ilioukhine get involved and protect them. As the other teams are weeded out, they advance to the main tournament by process of elimination. Terryman then warms up with Kinnikuman for the main matches, before being pranked by Mantaro with a fart attack and adding to their rivalry.

 

Quarter-Finals

The match begins with Ortega and Kinnikuman in the ring; they lock right hands, but Kinnikuman refuses to lock with his left hand. Ortega lunges with a hip attack, and Kinnikuman tries to use a sleeper-hold, but fails. Moaidon clutches at Kinnikuman's left arm, causing him immense pain. Kinnikuman breaks free, as Ortega uses a series of palm strikes. Kinnikuman dodges until Ortega lands a rolling sobat to the stomach, followed by a kick to Kinnikuman's left arm (breaking his attempted Niku Curtain).

 

Kinnikuman uses a lariat with his right arm. Ortega seems like he may fall from the ring, but uses an Iguazu Terror at the last second and catches Kinnikuman into a neck-lock. He takes Kinnikuman's arm into a crucifixion pose, which reveals a fake skin on Kinnikuman's arm and a huge gash on his skin. Kinnikuman knocks Ortega onto the corner post, at which point Terryman tags into the match and both kick Ortega away. Ortega is knocked down, at which point Kinnikuman reveals that - the night before - he returned the Long Horn in his left arm back to Buffaloman.

 

Terryman gives Kinnikuman his bandanna to use as a tourniquet, and the two of them team up to use a set of drop-kicks against the Carpet Bombings to keep them at bay, which is followed by a pair of head-scissors. At this point, Terryman kicks Kinnikuman out of the ring to force him to take a break. Terryman appears to gain the upper-hand over Moaidon. This is followed by a Bronco Fist. Moaidon falls over the ropes, but grabs the top-rope at the last second. He lands back in the ring and Terryman uses a Spinning Toe Hold against him.

 

Moaidon uses his Brilliant Rock, which constricts his leg around Terryman's torso. He delivers a series of blows against Terryman, who refuses to touch Kinnikuman out of a desire to protect him, and Moaidon uses a Moai Doai Merikov, which is followed by an Atonement Awl. This is aimed at Kinnikuman, but Terryman jumps between Kinnikuman and Ortega. Ortega uses a Somersault Grand Slam. Terryman is then thrown into Moaidon's Liar's Mouth, which will close/slam down on Terryman any time he answers a question truthfully. Moaidon asks and Terryman answers:

 

Do you prefer hamburgers to gyudon? Yes.

Do you prefer blonde Americans to any other women? No.

Do you wish to usurp Kinnikuman as leader of the Machineguns? No.

Would you sacrifice your life for someone else? Yes.

The blows that result from truthful answers lead Terryman to be severely injured, as such Kinnikuman touches Terryman and tags into the ring. Kinnikuman forces his knee into the Liar's Mouth to stop it from crushing Terryman. He drags Terryman out of the Liar's Mouth, and Moaidon attempts a Rock Smash, which Kinnikuman evades. This is followed by expelling flatulence on Moaidon's face, and then a Pants Driver on Ortega. Kinnikuman delivers a set of horizontal chops to Moaidon, and the Carpet Bombings exchange a series of blows with Kinnikuman, until they force him to use his left arm, which knocks away the bandanna and reopens his wound.

 

The open gash on Kinnikuman's arm reveals there is no bone inside. The Carpet Bombings focus their attacks on Kinnikuman's left arm, as he uses the bandanna again as a tourniquet, and Moaidon uses a Iguazu Terror again. This leads them to use a Machu Pichu Crash. They place Kinnikuman into the Liar's Mouth, at which point he asks the following questions to Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman answers as follows:

 

Do you think your mask is ugly? Yes.

Did you wet the bed until you were eighteen? Yes.

Is it true you don't trust the New Generation? Yes.

Do you hate Mantaro most of all? Yes.

The Liar's Mouth closes on all answers except for the final question about hating Mantaro. Kinnikuman continues to assert he will never recognise Mantaro as his son, to which Meat speculates the Liar's Mouth goes off the truth deep in your heart and not what you believe to be true, so - deep down - Kinnikuman does not hate Mantaro. Mantaro shouts advice to Kinnikuman, which enables him to escape the Liar's Mouth, except for his left arm that is trapped inside. Ortega continues to attack Kinnikuman, until the bone in his arm starts to grow back.

 

Mantaro explains the bone is growing back due to the pressure of the Liar's Mouth acting as a form of pressurisation training, and that Kinnikuman's chojin heritage is amplifying its effects. Kinnikuman uses his Burning Inner Strength to throw Moaidon to the canvas, at which point his wound closes, and Terryman tags himself into the match. Terryman takes Moaidon in a Texas Clover Hold, while Kinnikuman takes Ortega in a compact hold, but they are thrown as Moaidon uses a Moai Doai Merikov. Ortega tries an Atonement Awl, while Terryman uses a Texas Twister, and this is followed by Kinnikuman using a Muscle Lariat.

 

Kinnikuman uses a Kinniku Buster on Ortega, and Terryman uses a Kinniku Driver on Moaidon. The Machineguns combine their techniques to use the Muscle Docking. Ortega falls from the Andes ring, followed by Moaidon, and the chairperson calls the match in the Machineguns' favour. The Carpet Bombings are then taken away on stretchers. Terryman and Kinnikuman celebrate with Natsuko and Bibimba respectively, until Mantaro tries to congratulate Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman rejects him, claiming that the Liar's Mouth was broken and he still hates Mantaro, and Mantaro responds by that he will never call Kinnikuman 'Father' again, as he leaves.

 

Semi-Finals

The tug-of-war match-up occurs on the 13th of May, 1983.

 

He stays with Kinnikuman in their waiting room, until ushered out by Bibimba. Just as everyone gives up hope that Kinnikuman will make it out on time, Kinnikuman exits the waiting-room and presents Terryman with his Texan hat and seems in perfect health. They perform the tug-of-war and are assigned the Muscle Brothers Nouveau as their opponents during the semi-final match.

 

The match starts ten minutes later.

 

Terryman enters the ring with Kinnikuman in perfect unison. After Kinnikuman declares a 'mask versus mask' death-match, he takes the lead and Terryman stands on the sides. He is later tagged into the match, where they are able to attack Mantaro together with tag-moves, which culminates in a Guillotine Drop. Chaos soon tags in and after attacking Terryman, works with Mantaro to attack Kinnikuman, and it is then Terryman notices the Demon Hourglass is still on Kinnikuman's chest.

 

Terry the Kid begs him to throw in the towel, which causes Terryman to notice that Mantaro's leg is starting to disappear, and - only revealing the Machineguns never bring towels to matches - Terry the Kid throws into the ring the Great Texan Hat. Terryman then turns against Kinnikuman, by provoking him and insulting him, which causes the sand in his Demon Hourglass to rise to the top; Terryman has worked out that inspiring Kinnikuman to hate him with cause the Iron Sweat, which will amplify the magnetic powers of his mask, and this will draw the sands of the hourglass upwards. This breaks the curse and saves him.

 

Mantaro tags in Chaos, who protects him from Kinnikuman's advances. After Chaos takes the lead, he learns about the value of teamwork and tags Mantaro back into the m Mantaro is taken into a Kamehame Lock, but distracts Kinnikuman by undoing the strings to his mask, and takes him into a Sleeper Hold. After Kinnikuman gains the upper-hand, Mantaro breaks his finger to escape the hold and uses a Kilaeau Stretch, and proceeds to throw Mantaro from the War Cube.

 

Kinnikuman saves him just in time, and both partners are tagged into the match. The Muscle Brothers Nouveau use a Double Shoulder Buster on the Machineguns. The Machineguns counter with a Muscle Docking, but - due to Kinnikuman's fatigue it is not at full power. Mantaro flashes back to his youth, and he uses his father's advice to break free from an attack, before using a Skull Campana with Chaos.

 

After an exchange of blows, Mantaro saves Kinnikuman from falling out of the War-Cube. They continue with an evenly matched match, until Kinnikuman attempts another Muscle Docking. Mantaro unleashes his Fire of Inner Strength and successfully counters the move. Despite Kinnikuman also channelling his Fire, Mantaro and Chaos defeat them using the Muscle Evolution. Both teams are knocked to the mat, starting a countdown, but Mantaro and Chaos stand in time to be declared the winners.

 

The Machineguns proceeds to rest, while watching the Five Disasters vs. Nova Hell Expansions.

 

Post-Tournament

They are both there to witness Muscle Brothers Nouveau win the tournament, which saves Alisa's life and by extension Kevin Mask's life. This ends the arc.

“Living creatures are nourished by food, and food is nourished by rain; rain itself is the water of life, which comes from selfless worship and service.”

~ Bhagavad Gita

Love is something mysterious. We still can love even if we are single.

 

"Physical marriage practiced in this world is meant for the self-controlled propagation of the species and for assisting one another to learn the selflessness of love in faithfulness, giving, and sharing; and for the advanced few, it is one means of soul union for liberation after finding the perfect love of God by intense spiritual discipline, sexual sublimation, and meditation. Couples learn many lessons in the marriage partnership, such as uniting feeling and reason (positive and negative) to make two flesh as one through mutual respect and unselfish cooperation." - {Paramahansa Yogananda}

Happy Veterans Day to all who have ever donned the uniform and kept us safe. Because of your selfless commitment, people like me can get up in the morning, grab the camera, and go do what I do. I greatly appreciate your service.

the beast in me

gets the best of me

whenever I think I'm free

if I break the selfless silence

zip my lips and throw away the key

why am I beholden to me?

a stubborn thought

that I keep thinking

will you be there when I start sinking?

punching holes in a buoyant heart

(that's how it starts)

there are no playing parts

it's only work

and only working hard

to be seen as someone

somewhat good

at asking why

I'm planting

a seed of doubt

(or am I?)

In Hinduism, the cow is a symbol of wealth, strength, abundance, selfless giving and a full Earthly life. My 1st visit to India made me wonder about the cows, because they were running freely. In my country Bangladesh, cows roaming freely on the street would have been short lived since there is no restriction on selling cows for meat unlike India. So in a sense, cows live a happy joyous life in India, but in Bangladesh it’s sad day for cows.

 

In ancient India, oxen and bulls were sacrificed to the gods and their meat was eaten. But even then the slaughter of milk-producing cows was prohibited. Verses of the Rigveda refer to the cow as Devi (goddess), identified with Aditi (mother of the gods) herself.

 

Later, in the spiritually fertile period that produced Jainism and Buddhism, Hindus stopped eating beef. This was mostly like for practical reasons as well as spiritual. It was expensive to slaughter an animal for religious rituals or for a guest, and the cow provided an abundance of important products, including milk, browned butter for lamps, and fuel from dried dung.

 

Despite their sacred status, cows don't seem much appreciated in India. Visitors are often surprised to see them walking neglected around city streets, living on garbage from the gutters. But the cow is honored at least once a year, on Gopastami. On this "Cow Holiday," cows are washed and decorated in the temple and given offerings in the hope that her gifts of life will continue.

 

This shot was taken in Bangladesh, not in India. Taking cow for washing is short of an entertainment for the family (I think) as I have seen whole family was watching(before i entered to take picture) this cow getting washed with great care and love. The cow didn’t mind, it was rather enjoying.

It's never easy to hide pain under a smile. The truth is, it's very difficult. Only selfless people can do it. The ones who care about others more than they do themselves. So be kind to all around you, no one knows what inner turmoil each one is going through.
