How Marquitaman still isn't dead I'll never know.

I feel a mix of amusement and dismay at the fact that Kinnikuman instantly pissed his speedo at a building that was miles away. But I guess that's part of his charm.

Some people may think that the failure to make swimming progress was a testament to the current, but if you recall fully, it's actually just a callback to Kinnikuman being an awful swimmer. He was one of the worst swimmers back in the Choujin Olympics, and never even learned how to swim well enough to teach his son, Mantaro, how to swim, as shown in Kinnikuman Nisei.

So yeah, the whole "Kinniku Swimming Style" is itself just a dumb joke

You're almost right, but that dog paddle swim style actually saved Kinnikuman in the Choujin Olympics - Big Fight from being broiled alive. It's just a simple callback.

He'll remain a coward regardless of how strong he gets. That's just his nature at this point.
