As expected from a wrestling manga, when the violence gets bad in this series, it tends to get ''really'' bad. Despite that, there's a surprising amount of generally scary things and some [[And I Must Scream]] fates for any poor soul who happens to be on the losing end of a match.

* A side-effect of the cartoony art and extremely gory violence is that any time the series features a particularly vicious move, you can just ''feel'' it. Someone's getting torn open, or impaled, or twisted until their spine breaks? Ow. And keep in mind that, in this series, this kind of thing is just ordinary wrestling.
* The match between Mr. Khamen and Brocken Jr. when Mr. Khamen uses his finishing move on {{spoiler|the referee, by accident}}. Mr. Khamen's special involves wrapping the opponent in cloth and then mummifying them by ''sucking out all the water in their body until they become a dried husk''. It doesn't really help that he ''overdid'' it; he sucked up so much moisture of the victim that he even sucked up his '''skin'''. It's so disturbing and unsettling that it makes many a reader really wonder how Mr. Khamen wasn't the [[Big Bad]] of that arc. <ref>Thankfully it's made less disturbing in the anime; the referee was replaced by Kinkotsuman, who apparently wasn't affected AT ALL.</ref>
** The worst part? Mr. Khamen was a Devil Choujin, meaning he was ''banned for killing too many opponents''.
* [http://www.mangareader.net/361-25029-8/kinnikuman/chapter-34.html Brockenman][http://www.mangareader.net/361-25029-9/kinnikuman/chapter-34.html Vs.] [http://www.mangareader.net/361-25029-10/kinnikuman/chapter-34.html Ramenman] is rather unsettling, made even worse by the fact that this match happened ''before'' [[Cerebus Syndrome]] kicked in. I seriously doubt that any child who read that when it came out in the 70s fell asleep easy that night.
