The new anime celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original television anime, which premiered in April 1983.
The manga creator duo named Yudetamago continued their original Kinnikuman wrestling manga as a free web manga in 2011. The creators returned to their first 1979 Kinnikuman storyline 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 Friday.
The toy figurine of Kinnikuman was imported to the United States under the “MUSCLE” brand 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.
