After Kinnikuman is defeated, they tie him up and throw him into a river to drown him.
Since Shuten-Doji knew of the Justice Chojin from the 21st century knowing about Kinnikuman being in danger, he tasked the Four Fiends with ambushing them with they arrive with The Nio and his men from the Shuten Army waiting on the cliff just outside Shuten-Doji's home.
