Sequel to Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman Nisei is the story of Mantarou Kinniku (Kid Muscle), a young brash wrestler from a Planet of Hats — that hat, of course, being wrestling. In this world, Professional Wrestling is Serious Business, so the next generation of superpowered wrestlers is getting trained at the Hercules Factory, and Mantarou is no exception. While Mantarou is a coward, he's usually willing to fight when the chips are down, and this wins him a few friends: Terry the Kid (Terry "The Grand" Kenyon), an American (and, by default, Texan); Seiuchin (Wally Tuskett), an anthropomorphic walrus; and Gazelleman (Dik Dik Van Dik), an anthropomorphic gazelle and supreme victim of The Worf Effect.The action is organized into arcs. The first arc deals with the gang's attempt to graduate; the second arc deals with their struggles against the evil dMp; the third arc focuses on their battles against the new graduates of the Hercules Factory; and the final and longest arc deals with the Chojin Tournament, a gigantic battle between the world's greatest wrestlers.There are two manga series — one that is running in Weekly Shonen Playboy in Japan and is being sold in volumes in the US, and another that appeared in V-Jump in Japan, follows a different continuity.Americans got their eyefuls of it by way of 4Kids as Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy, so it got the standard treatment. Oddly enough, aside from blood, a great deal of innuendo and fart jokes were left in. A great deal of innuendo. But that's neither here nor there. The dub's title was based on Mattel's M.U.S.C.L.E.note Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere toy line in the U.S., which in turn was based on characters from the original program (which was never dubbed or released in North America, because the Moral Guardians would've pounced on it like ants on a picnic basket). As crazy as it sounds, even by those who detest them, 4Kids' dub for this is considered to be one of their best by far, as the goofy voices they gave for the characters and the amount of dirtier jokes they left in from the original show, and a few dirty jokes they actually added themselves, as well as replacing jokes that most American viewers wouldn't get, ended up fitting the show's tone surprisingly well. Some would even go as far as to say it's one of the very few dubs made by them that's worth watching over the Japanese original, and not in the "so bad it's hilarious" sense like their infamous One Piece dub. Of course, bringing this up with fans of the Japanese original is a good way to ignite flame wars that can be seen from space.As of 10/24/22, Discotek Media has licensed rescued the entire English dub. | |

Retired Badass | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass: Given the series takes place 28 years after the original Kinnikuman series, its only natural that the original Justice Chojin have aged past their prime. Their inability to fight the dMp due to their advanced ages is what kicks off the plot. Kinnikuman himself is hit the hardest by this, as all those power moves have seriously wrecked his body after almost 30 years. Checkmate may have been trained by the dMp to be unable to feel pain, but that’s more a hindrance than an advantage. He takes so much damage without rest or notice that he eventually becomes paralyzed by his accumulative injuries. He notably never fights in another match afterwards, choosing to be apart of Kid Muscle's peanut gallery. After his match with Scarface/Eskara, Mantaro never uses the traditional version of the Kinniku Buster again. This is because Scarface demonstrated a countermove to it during their match, on live television. Any wrestler who studied the match would know how to do it, so it isn’t worth the risk to use it. | |

Fat Flex: When Kid Muscle finally meets King Muscle again, he still looks as buff as he did in his prime. Then it turns out that King Muscle had just rearranged all his fat to look like muscles, which is why he wasn't moving from his badass pose, and once everything slips back into place, it turns out he's gotten a huge gut and scrawny arms in the past few decades. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Originally Gazelleman's specialty, but because he's been less and less active as a fighter recently, it appears to have been passed on to German brawler Jade. It probably didn't help when Gazelleman began to be regarded as a joke in-universe as well. The fact that even he admits he's a Joke Character now pretty much ends any chance of him being competitive again. | |

Discard and Draw: When Brocken Jr.'s arm has been cut off by Lightning and Thunder, Jade no longer knows how to do the Red Rain of Berlin because memories of learning the move in the past from Brocken was altered. Fortunately, it is replaced with a new technique from Brocken back then who had a hook arm due to the altered past called "Brocken's Repatriation " which turns Jade's left leg into a sickle! | |

Like Father, Like Son: Terry the Kid is so much like his father Terryman that he's built up a nice little complex about it. Mantarou also shares a number of similarities with his father, but is also incredibly different in just as many ways. | |

Generation Xerox: Played straight with Canadian Boy and Specialman Jr. Obviously subverted with Mantarou (who was a lot less heroic than Suguru at the start), Terry the Kid (who actively tries to not be like his father) and Kevin Mask (who also sought to be different from his father). The subversion of the trope is inverted with Maxman, who looks nothing like his grandfather, Sneagator (a Devil Choujin from the original series) but is just as intimidating as him. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Dial Bolic/Tel Tel Boy killing famous wrestlers just to get an audience's attention. His fellow dMp member Maxman is no better; when Dial Bolic/Tel Tel Boy fails to beat Mantarou, Maxman kills him (yes, by kicking him). Neptuneman, after Wally/Seiuchin regains his humanity, teams up with Mammothman, and they proceed to literally rip his face off. Suguru and Terry were shooting dogs at an alarming rate in their match against Mantarou and Chaos. Fans were not pleased. Dead Signal and Clioneman both attempted to kick the dog (or more accurately, smash the dog and incinerate the fans, respectively). Coincidentally, they never made any major appearance outside of a cameo in the anime-only Poison Six Pack arc after their defeat. | |

Death's Hourglass: Suguru was given this by Satan in a form of a spider with the help of the evil alliance of the Lightning, Thunder, Neptuneman, and Mammothman before the semi-finals of the Ultimate Choujin Tag Tournament. It does three options to try to halt the process: Power of Love by a hug from his mother, Bibinba, or Mari (he didn't with the third since he's being faithful to Bibinba); turning upside-down to turn the sand back, and using Iron Sweat, which is caused by breaking friendship as a Seigi Choujin, as a magnet to prevent the sand from ever flowing. With the help of Terryman berating him, the third option got rid of it once and for all. | |

Clean Dub Name: Subverted!

Invincible Hero | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_5300b1de | comment |
Invincible Hero: For some, Kevin Mask amounts to this. Has yet to lose a match in the manga. The single arguable counterarguement was when he and Scarface fought the last two Akuma Choujin in the Demon Seed arc, Voltman and Ashuraman. But it was a match where losing one teammate amounted to a loss, so Scarface was the one that was defeated instead. This is mostly due to Popularity Power, since Kevin comes in first place in nearly every character poll. Mantarou, meanwhile, is lucky to even be in the top ten. He does lose in the semi-finals of the V-Jump manga — and not even to Mantarou! | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: One of the main reasons why the Demon Seeds made a Face–Heel Turn by siding with Satan/General Terror was due to their dissatisfaction with their treatment by normal humans. The humans' treatment of the Devil Choujin is somewhat justified because, well, the Devil Choujin did try to take over the world... multiple times. | |

Costumes Change Your Size: Most of the villains' disguises hide their bulk quite well, but special mention goes to the Poison Sixpack, who start out wearing disguises that make them resemble Kid Muscle, height and all. Two of them in particular (The Protector and Jagg Ed) are much, much larger when they reveal themselves, and Baron Maximillian is actually smaller (at first). | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: In the manga, Mantarou doesn't meet Meat until after his training at the Hercules Factory is complete. In the anime, Meat is present during his entire training. In the manga, Rinko/Roxanne didn't debut until after Mantarou beats Mars/Scarface. In the anime, she and her friends have been recurring audience spectators since Dial-A-Bolic/Tel-Tel Boy challenged Mantarou. | |

The Faceless: Mantarou and Suguru (and some other major Kinniku fighters), both son and father's real faces are unknown, truth to be told most of the Kinniku race would qualify if their masks weren't so blatantly modeled exactly like their real faces that one couldn't tell they were wearing one if not for their Ultraman-shapped heads. The few instances Mantarou and Suguru shows a glimpse of what their real faces might look like it proves that they are nowhere as Gonk looking as their masks imply, it must be divine as in the Ultimate Choujin Tag Tournament arc when both take off their masks, their faces are so impossibly cool that it blinds the crowd thus preventing their faces to be known, also the silhouettes are more detailed this time around to at least confirm they are not ugly, it could be above average even. | |

Joke Character: Both this and its predecessor are full of such characters. For instance, two of the Chojins who make it to the wrestling part of the Chojin Crown are a Lego—err, building block man and a high-tech toilet man named "Wash Ass" in the Japanese version (his mentor was a character from the original series who was a squat toilet from the Inca Empire). In the dubbed version, at least, the latter character is also a successful actor on the side (he's called the Hollywood Bowl, after the bowl-shaped theater). | |

Ret-Gone: In a story arc set in the past, Brocken Jr. loses his right arm in a match, thus removing his trademark Red Rain of Berlin attack. In the next match, Jade attempts the move and is shocked to find he can't do it. Looking at a photo shows that Brocken Jr.'s hand is now a hook, therefore Brocken could never have taught the move to Jade. After some time for Jade's mind to adapt to his new memories, he now knows a leg-based version of the move: Brocken's Repatriation. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Kinkotsuman was nothing more than a Big Bad Wannabe in the original series, who tried desperately to defeat Kinnikuman but was thwarted every time. In hope of finally beating Kinnikuman, he put his rather milquetoast son, Bone Cold, through hellish training. The result? Bone Cold became a certified Badass, but part of his motivation of becoming one was because he hated his old man's guts (who at this point, had an epiphany and tried to make amends) and wanted to distance himself from how lame Kinkotsuman was. | |

Abusive Parents: Quite the opposite in the case of Mantarou — Kinnikuman was extremely happy to have a son to continue the bloodline of the Kinniku clan that he pampered Mantarou to the point where he became a Spoiled Brat. It makes sense when you read the original series and see that Kinnikuman's father Mayumi, while not a bad person, completely failed at being a good father to both of his sons and Kinnikuman probably didn't want history to repeat himself. Played painfully straight with Kinnikuman's Evil Counterpart, Kinkotsuman. His constant abuse of his son and wife created one of the most monstrous heels in the history of the series. | |

UnCancelled | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_bcb313b3 | comment |
Un-Cancelled: The anime was cancelled in Japan after its first Tournament Arc. Thanks to the effect of Germans Love David Hasselhoff, 4Kids Entertainment funded a second season, which was brought over to Japan as Kinnikuman Nisei: Ultimate Muscle. It still wasn't very popular and had to be cancelled and Un-Cancelled again before the entirety of the 4Kids-produced season was shown. | |

Fan Disservice: The non-sexual kind. Warsman and Mammothman teaming up in the most current arc was, in spite of being foreshadowed heavily earlier in the arc, nice to watch since both have always been fan favorites in spite of the latter being an Omnicidal Maniac. Then Mammothman suffers from Chronic Backstabbing Disorder... | |

Shout-Out | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: So many of the wrestlers are shout-outs to Japanese toku heroes/villains or real wrestlers. Mantarou's name, when rendered in classical Japanese format, is "Kinniku Mantarou", an obvious Shout Out to Ultraman Taro. Bone Cold is named for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Kevin Mask is named for Kevin Nash. The dMp's logo, character alignment (a group consisting of heels) and letter stylization (only the second letter is capitalized) is an obvious shout out to the nWo. | |

Freudian Excuse: Kevin Mask really hates his father, Robin Mask due to the Spartan-like training he forced him to endure. Bone Cold, son of Harmless Villain Kinkotsuman, became incredibly cruel thanks to his old man abusing him and his mother. Ashuraman made a Face–Heel Turn due to his his son going absolutely crazy after finding out about his Devil Choujin days. The fact that he, along with the other Devil Choujin were treated rather harshly by humans for their misdeeds despite switching sides did not help matters. | |

Informed Ability: Gazelleman graduates the Hercules Factory as the # 1 overall wrestler. He never wins a single match (save for one in an anime Filler arc, and another in the V-Jump manga, which follows a different continuity). The same can be said for Jade. Despite being described as the best fighter of the new graduates, since his introduction he's only won two matches. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The anime downplays the bloodbaths in most of the really violent matches, the stronger sexual jokes are absent such as Mantarou having erections, and the times where Rinko/Roxxane was captured and had her clothes torn apart, to the point her bra and panty are shown, were changed so her clothes were mostly kept together. | |

Spoiled Brat | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_cfc52d52 | comment |
Quite the opposite in the case of Mantarou — Kinnikuman was extremely happy to have a son to continue the bloodline of the Kinniku clan that he pampered Mantarou to the point where he became a Spoiled Brat. It makes sense when you read the original series and see that Kinnikuman's father Mayumi, while not a bad person, completely failed at being a good father to both of his sons and Kinnikuman probably didn't want history to repeat himself. | |

Give Him a Normal Life | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_d63358ae | comment |
Give Him a Normal Life: Kinnikuman decided to try this with Mantarou and thus had his fight records annuled so that his son wouldn't know of his evil-fighting career. It kinda backfired in that Mantarou became incredibly lazy and cowardly. It does pay off during Mantaro's fight against TelTel Boy. TelTel channels Suguru, hoping to instill some "fear of the father" in the son, but since Mantarou's grown up thinking his dad as nothing more than a bumbling idiot, it backfires. Completely. | |

Hanzo, in comparison to the much more mature manga had to have his Tear Off Your Face gimmick watered down in the anime. Rather than simply cutting them off, his arm scabbard seems to take them off and absorb them like magic even in the Japanese version. | |

| Ultimate Muscle / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Kevin Mask is an Expy of Real Life professional wrestler Kevin Nash. Not only is this evident in Mask's name, but also in that Mask's body build and "screw tradition" philosophy are extremely similar to Nash's. Also, much like Nash, he doesn't lose. The Constellation is more than likely an Expy of Black Hole, another Devil Choujin from the original Kinnikuman. | |

Redemption Equals Death: Seiuchin/Wally during the Ultimate Choujin Tag Team Arc. After being turned into a truly horrifying psychotic Perfect Choujin by Neptuneman, to the pont of killing Checkmate, Barrierfreeman, Comrade Turbinski/Iloukhine and Scarface, plus breaking Jade's neck, he is finally snapped out of it during the match against Warsman and Mammothman. He dies shortly there after, pushing Warsman out of the way of the new team of Neptuneman and Mammothman's Optical Fiber Cross Bomber — which strips all the skin off of his face. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Ultimate Muscle / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": The 4Kids dub plays with this in that while they dance around death, words such as "kill� are used in their metaphorical sense. The Ninja/Ninja Ned's death is still kept intact in the dub, even though they never outright say the words. In particular when Mantaro has a Near-Death Experience and talks with his spirit, being told he's in the spirit world. Lord Minch is murdered by Bone Cold in the manga and Japanese version. The dub does everything it can to make it seem as if all Bone Cold did was shatter his hip. But the way the characters act and a few key phrasings still imply they know he was killed. | |
