Enemies[]
Kinnikuman[]
Nemesis views Kinnikuman as everything wrong with the ideals of mercy, seeing him as foolish and weak, being a ruler whose kindness and forgiveness could allow those who wish to do him harm to get closer to Kinnikuman, just as his brother did.
Though because Nemesis sees a bit of his brother Tatsunori in Kinnikuman, he is willing to let Kinnikuman join the Perfect Chojin as long as he gives up the ideals of mercy.
Silverman[]
Being both Nemesis' ancestor and one of the two traitors of the Perfect Origin, Nemesis naturally holds a lot of hatred in his heart for Silverman.
After learning that Silverman invented the ultimate killing technique, the Arrogant Spark but chose to make a non-lethal variation called the Muscle Spark which he passed down the Kinniku Clan Bloodline, Nemesis becomes enraged seeing Silverman as the source of the mercy in his bloodline that he hates.
Akuma Shogun[]
Being one of the two traitors of the Perfect Origin, Nemesis hates Akuma Shogun, especially after he personally kills both Mirageman and Abyssman and threatens to do the same to The Man.
Nemesis actively tries to kill Akuma Shogun and stands in his way to prevent him from fighting The Man, even if he thinks he will likely lose their fight.
Biography[]
Past[]
Nemesis was originally the Justice Chojin Sadaharu Kinniku, the grand-uncle of Kinnikuman and younger brother to the current King of Planet Kinniku, Tatsunori Kinniku, who was raised as a member of the Kinniku Royal Lineage. When he was young, Sadaharu noticed that rumors about him being a disaster waiting to happen spread all around him including to his father because of how skilled he was with Sadaharu being able to master the Muscle Spark, one of the three legendary techniques of the Kinniku Bloodline that most masters can't perform, by age thirteen.
This would eventually lead to him being locked up and anyone who dared speak of him would be executed. Sadaharu would be frequently visited by his older brother who told him that Sadaharu would be executed and that even as King he couldn't stop it from happening. Sadaharu didn't hate his brother at all and instead cursed the kingdom filled with the corrupt who made it impossible for his brother to do good and swore that he would bring justice to the corrupt kingdom.
Tatsunori would then tell his brother about the secret behind the endless strength of the Kinniku Bloodline which was the boundless mercy that they had. Sadaharu dismissed this, stating that he had no mercy left before his brother left him.
Before he could be executed, Sadaharu would break free from his prison and flee to Earth, searching for the place where one could become a Perfect Chojin where he would meet Mirageman. Sadaharu would fight against the Perfect Chojin, but once he used the Nikku Curtain, a technique used by his ancestor Silverman, Mirageman knew he would make for a great Perfect Chojin and would teach Sadaharu the truth about the origins of the Kinniku Bloodline as well as the Perfect Origin.
Mirageman would baptise him, turning him from the Justice Chojin Sadaharu Kinniku into the Perfect Chojin only known as Nemesis.

Nemesis would fight against Ramenman, during this fight, he would explain his origin and that he was a part of the Kinniku Bloodline. This fact would leave Kinnikuman distraught but Ramenman encouraged him and explained to Nemesis that the mercy that Kinnikuman feels makes him far stronger than the hatred that the Perfect Chojin feel toward their enemies. As the battle continued, Nemesis would overpower Ramenman, unintentionally using Burning Inner Strength when he thought about his deceased allies and that Ramenman was glad about this, however, to prove him wrong, Nemesis used the Muscle Spark to try and kill Ramenman with him only surviving because the bell rang signalling the end of the match.
The next day, Kinnikuman and Nemesis would have their fight. Initially, Nemesis was dominating Kinnikuman until his father and Nemesis' nephew. Nemesis tried. Soon Nemesis would use the Arrogant Spark to try and kill Kinnikuman, however, it dealt heavy damage to Nemesis too, allowing Kinnikuman to use the Muscle Spark to win the match.
Once defeated, Nemesis would beg The Man to kill him, being too weak to kill himself and wanting to live up to the rules he enforced onto others including Polarman who he personally killed, however, both Peek-a-Boo and Neptuneman stepped in to save him with The Man soon being forced to fight Akuma Shogun, The Man agreed that he would decide upon Nemesis' fate after that match.
After The Man was defeated by Akuma Shogun, Nemesis, Peek-a-Boo and Neptuneman carried him back to the Chojin Graveyard, swearing that they would grow stronger and defeat Kinnikuman.
