All this Ronald hate on the tl is so funny to me like why y'all still talking about him, there are more pressing matters

I'm thinking of rewriting 'Crushed' and ... personal headcanon! Warsman used his computer to analyse Bibimba during pregnancy to find out the sex of the baby xD - Cristy ;)

I love that idea XD

Also, I get email notifications of asks, and it started a new line with 'of the baby', so I initially misread and had a very different idea of the story 😂 Still, I love stories that explore Bibimba and Warsman's friendship 😊

His computer is used a few times in canon, but it's rarely explored in fanfiction, especially how it'd be used outside of the ring (I can see him putting up an umbrella, everyone asking why, and just standing there deadpan as the others get soaked by a sudden downpour, and they just stare annoyed at him, as he's like: 'I get weather forecasts on this thing').

Also, can't wait to read your fic 😊

Please do let me know when it's up! 😊

Sometimes I feel like Kid was written just to make the fans happy about Terryman and Natsuko having a son, but then he didn't gain popularity and they shifted to Kevin and Mantaro as the new Kinnikuman and Terryman - Cristy ;)

I mean, that's an interesting theory.

It's undeniable that he was a big part of the prologue, and his introduction (and design) was very much like that of his father, even down to the pacing and resolution. A lot follows that of the original, even the love triangle between Kinniku, human, and chojin; it'd make sense if Kid was intended to be a big supporting character, as it would follow that same formula and pattern, plus he was a major player in the initial arc and stayed a part of the social circle, too.

Like you say, he failed to gain popularity, whereas Kevin Mask seemed to explode in popularity, and - while I'd have to check the polls - I don't recall him being overly popular (although some of that might be him being under-utilised, because he and Mantaro were mentioned in the votes for most wanted tag-teams, for example).

There was a lot wrong with the writing for Nisei, as much as I love it, so it's hard to say what came first: the chicken or the egg. Did they shift to Kevin Mask because Kid was unpopular, or was Kid unpopular because they shifted to Kevin Mask? It may even be a combination of both, in all fairness, and even some other factors.

That being said . . .

I don't personally see Kevin Mask and Mantaro as being the new Terryman and Kinnikuman, and I actually don't see much of a resemblance between the two pairs (this is just personal, so others can feel free to disagree). They read to me - especially in light of 2011 - much more of a retelling of Robin Mask and Kinnikuman.

I think 2011 may back this up to an extent, as Terryman eventually took more of a back-seat, while Robin Mask provided a big driving force and even became a main character when Terryman was no character at all. It might not be a direct indication of popularity as such, and maybe more shifting times and writer's preference, but the Robin/Kinnikuman relationship reads very much like Kevin/Mantaro, so I think maybe the shift in Nisei was equally down to this change in focus (as opposed maybe solely to popularity).

Again, just a personal take :)
