The anime television series will premiere in 2024. The season is named after the 2011 manga revival of the same name.

Akira Sato (Release the Spyce) is directing the anime at Production IG. Makoto Fukami (Psycho-Pass, 2016 Berserk) is in charge of the series’ script. Hirotaka Marufuji (Lupine Season 3 Part 6) is designing the characters. Yasuharu Takanashi (Naruto Shippūden) is composing the music.

The new anime series celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original television anime that premiered in April 1983.

The manga author duo known as Yudetamago continued their original Kinnikuman wrestling manga as a free web manga in 2011. The creators returned to the first Kinnikuman storyline in 1979 and continued where they left the story for the last time in 1987. The original manga has inspired various film and television anime series. Yudetamago previously published the Kinnikuman one-shot manga in Shueisha’s Grand Jump magazine in 2015, then published the one-shot in Weekly Shonen Jump for the first time in 11 years in June 2019. The second compilation volume 83 of the manga was published in Japan on September 29.

The toy figurine of Kinnikuman was imported to the United States under the “MUSCLE” label in the 1980s. Viz Media later released the sequel Kinnikuman Nisei-Second Generations manga by Takashi Shimada and Yoshinori Nakai in North America with titled Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy, and 4Kids Entertainment aired the anime television adaptation.
