They also cut off Brocken Jr.'s arm. They even defeated Neptuneman and Mammothman although the latter abandoned his own partner to be with Kinnikuman Super Phoenix.
• Time Travel: As Time Choujin, they can do this after pulling off their Demonic Time Horns.

Lightning

• Driven to Suicide: When Mantaro and Kevin decides to restore him and Thunder using small pieces of the Competition Bulbs which they were after to become more powerful, Thunder took it but Lightning did not because he didn't want to except pity from the Seigi Choujin. He said while Thunder has his own mother to worry about, Lightning says he has no one that will miss him. So, he jumps into the volcanic Mt. Fuji and perishes into ashes.

Thunder

• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Unfortunately, she was scared of him because of the trauma due to his father.
• Healing Factor: Same as Lightning.
• How Much More Can He Take?: A lot of Choujin fits this trope, but Thunder stood out. He was thrown into the swords but got back up normally, took a Cross Bomber and lived, accidentally fell victim of his and Lightning's own Death Watch Branding intended for Mantaro and Kevin, then took a NIKU->LAP to finally bring him down, and then somehow... he managed to get back up to stop Mantaro's Muscle Spark from finishing off Lightning! Let's see if Kevin's Big Ben Edge can finally bring him down.
  • He is finally defeated along with Lightning but not with Big Ben Edge but the Muscle Kingdom!

• Jerkass Woobie: It is revealed in his backstory that he discovers that the reason why his mother was scared of him when he was a kid was because his father, a Time Choujin like him, attacked his home village and even raped his mother which explains why he was born! This caused him to run away from home crying. You got to feel sorry for the guy.
• Manly Tears: His reaction to Lightning's suicide.
• Time Stands Still: Like Lightning.
• Zipperiffic: His first outfit and his mask before it was shredded up to reveal his lion mask and his armor.
