Recap of the previous episode
The early portion of the episode started with the battle between Atlantis and Marlinman, with the latter seemingly taking the life of the former with his piercing attack. However, Atlantis manages to make one last stand and uses the signature attack of Robin Mask, the Tower Bridge, to end the battle, although they both die in the process.
The remainder of the episode was heavily focused on the battle Suguru had with Peek a Boo, with the latter starting as a bit of a gag character but slowly learning and adapting to Kinnikuman's moves. This hurts the prince's ego as he remembers an event of one of the major arcs within the original manga when Prince Kamehame taught him the 48 Deadly Techniques.
However, one of the most memorable moments in the episode was when Suguru chose to use his signature attack, the Kinniku Buster, only for Peek a Boo to stop him by surprise and deliver that same move to the protagonist. The episode ended with the cliffhanger of the Perfect Chojin seemingly having the upper hand in this battle.
