Recap of the previous episode
The episode starts with the end of the battle between the Perfect Large Numbers, Dalmatiman, and the Devil Chojin, Black Hole, with the latter taking the life of the former before he could eliminate himself. This moment shocked Terryman to his very core, even going as far as disowning Buffaloman because of this, since the Devil Chojin highlighted that they came here to kill the Perfect Chojin once and for all.
The remainder of the episode was heavily focused on the battle that one of the Perfect Large Numbers, Marlinman, was going up against the Devil Chojin Atlantis, with the latter remembering one of the major arcs within the original manga when he fought Robin Mask. This battle showed both characters pushing each other to their limits, with Atlantis aiming to stay on land and not go on water because he has the edge.
However, one of the most memorable moments in the episode was when Marlinman mocked Robin Mask, with Atlantis stating that while he is an evil creature, he is not going to let anyone disgrace his battle with the Justice Chojin. The episode ends with a cliffhanger, showing Atlantis being cornered by a member of the Perfect Large Numbers.
What to expect in Kinnikuman Perfect Origin arc episode 8?
There is a good chance that Kinnikuman Perfect Origin arc episode 8 will show a bit of Kinnikuman's fight with one of the Perfect Large Numbers, Peek A Boo.
However, it is also likely that the battle between Marlinman and Atlantis is going to have a conclusion since the last episode ended with the cliffhanger of the latter being cornered, so there is perhaps a chance of him getting payback.
