A classic Shonen Jump manga, Kinnikuman began as a spoof of Super Heroes in the vein of Ultraman, but changed gears after its initial story arc to become a semi-serious story where Professional Wrestling is Serious Business and used to determine the fate of the world.It begins with the title character, Kinnikuman, attempting to make a name for himself as a superhero by fighting giant monsters. Kin has the unexplained ability to grow to a giant size by eating garlic and give the monsters someone their own size to pick on... However, Kinnikuman is an idiot, a klutz, a pervert, and a total coward, causing him to do more harm than good. However, the one thing Kin has on his side is that he's a Determinator in spite of his cowardice, and he eventually comes through in order to save the day.One day, Kin meets Alexandria Meat, The Short Guy with Glasses, who reveals to him that he is actually Suguru Kinniku, an alien from a Planet of Hats where the "hat" just happens to be Professional Wrestling. It turns out that Kinnikuman is actually the planet's crown prince, who as a baby, was mixed up with a pig during a family vacation to Earth and left there. After reclaiming his birthright by sheer luck (Kin challenged the pig to a series of challenges and lost every single one, but the butcher who owned the pig came to claim him), Kin is sent back to Earth to become a true hero and prove himself worthy of the throne. Meat goes along with him acting as his trainer and sidekick.Back on Earth, Kin makes friends with American superhero Terryman, and together they enter the Choujin Olympics, a Pro-Wrestling tournament that gives the winner the title of the world's strongest hero. With this, the Genre Shift is complete, and the rest of the series focuses on Kin's wrestling career, where he befriends other heroes (and villains), takes down multiple Big Bads, and saves the world multiple times before going on to finally ascend his planet's throne after having achieved galactic-level peace......Well, until Ultimate Muscle that is......Or so we thought.In 2011, the original manga got an on-going direct continuation, picking up where the Scramble for the Throne arc left off, introducing all-new characters, all-new stakes, and a lot of call-backs to the original run. Due to it conflicting with Ultimate Muscle and especially its sequel Kinnikuman Nisei: Ultimate Chojin Tag Match note Most of which is also set after the Scramble for the Throne arc , both have been effectively rendered non-canon note Or arguably, part of an alternate timeline altogether.On March 16th, 2023 a new anime adaptation was announced. This new anime also serves to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first Kinnikuman anime. It was then announced on September 28th that the anime is titled Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc, adapting the story arc of the same name; itself the first arc of the manga's 2011 continuation. It's being animated by Production I.G and is set to air sometime in 2024.

Multinational Team - Pretty much every group of heroes/villains is this, but the Idol Choujin are the most notable with Kinnikuman (Alien, raised in Japan), Terryman, Geronimo (both American), Robin Mask (British), Buffaloman (Spanish), Ramenman/Mongolman (Chinese), Wolfman/Rikishiman (Japanese), Brocken Jr. (German) and Warsman (Russian).

This Loser Is You
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_15184afb
comment
This Loser Is You: Kinnikuman was an extreme example of this at the beginning of the manga; a hopeless coward, slacker and pervert. As early as the first chapter of the manga an army of monsters even gave up on their plans to invade the Earth solely because Kinnikuman was the only superhero available to fight them and they didn't want to ruin their reputations by being seen fighting a loser like him. As Cerebus Syndrome kicked in, this aspect faded away.

The Worf Effect
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Often a powerful Chojin will be brutally beaten by the designated Big Bad of the arc. Ramenman gets pummeled by Warsman, Warsman gets a beatdown resulting in his death from Buffaloman, Buffaloman and the other Devil Choujin get punished and decapitated by Ashuraman and the Devil Knights, and Buffaloman, Warsman, Ashuraman, Sunshine and even Robin Mask get this trope at the hands (or forearms) of the Hell's Missionaries. Canadianman and Specialman get hit by this hard. Canadianman was beaten by Robin Mask in the 20th Choujin Olympics to establish how powerful Robin was while Specialman was eliminated thanks to Kinkotsuman's cheating. Then, they decide to enter the Dream Tag Team Tournament. They don't even get to wrestle a single match as Ashuraman and Sunshine beat the crap out of them and take away their entry spot. It's no wonder why they become less active as fighters. Wolfman/Rikishiman gets hit by this even harder. Initially established as a serious threat to Kinnikuman representing Japan at the Choujin Olympics, he's quickly relegated to facing rather plain opponents in one-sided fights... with him being on the losing end. As The Other Wiki puts it, "He becomes the cannon fodder Seigi Choujin (quickly and easily defeated in order to show off how powerful the bad guys are)". Come the Throne Arc, there's Kinnikuman Big Body who's canonically established as the physically strongest of the Five Fated Princes. He gets curbstomped by Kinnikuman Super Phoenix just to establish the latter as Suguru's final opponent in the Throne Arc and to show that he knows how to do the real Muscle Revenger. His wrestling team doesn't fare much better: Mammothman defeated all but one of Big Body's teammates and faked a tie with the other just so Super Phoenix would get a match with Big Body himself.

comment
In the Perfect Large Numbers arc, Kinnikuman beats Peek-a-Boo (a Perfect Choujin with the ability of learning techniques as the match progresses) by means of using basic moves he couldn't counter as a result of learning complex ones too fast. Kinnikuman tries to befriend him, but Nemesis shows up and uses the Muscle Spark on him. Suguru saves him just in time, but hima and Peek-A-Boo end up severely wounded.

Forgotten Phlebotinum - The fact that Kinnikuman and the other Justice Chojin can grow into giants is forgotten after the shift to wrestling storylines. Also, their ability to fly is gradually forgotten... until 2012, where Robin Mask, Ramenman, Warsman and Brocken Jr. fly towards the pyramid to face Nemesis' team, taking an injured Kinnikuman and Terryman with them.

Long Lost Sibling - Ataru/Kinnikuman Soldier is this to the point where Kinnikuman didn't even know he existed. However, he ran away before Suguru was even born, so it's justified. Nemesis from the Perfect Large Numbers and Perfect Origin arcs is apparently another relative of Kinnikuman, even able to use the Muscle Spark.

Deal with the Devil: All of the Akuma Choujin did this in the past, but it is especially tied to Buffaloman, as he was considered to be a mediocre fighter before he did this to get his 10 million Choujin Power. Also the origin of Akuma Shogun.

Captain Ethnic: Hoo boy. Okay, the most visible Americans are Terryman (a Texan cowboy whose moves include Cattle Branding and the Texas Toe Hold), Geronimo (a full blooded Apache who loves his tomahawk), and Specialman (who is a football player). China is represented by the noodle-loving martial artist Ramenman, Canada by the flag-wearing Canadianman, Germany by Brockenman (a Nazi who breathes poison gas) and Brocken, Jr. (who does not seem to adhere to the whole "master race" thing but still seems fascinated by Nazi imagery), you get the idea. The more minor choujin are even more prone to this; see New Zealand's Woolman, for instance.

Eyes Always Shut - Ramenman is rarely ever seen with his eyes open. In fact, the only time we actually see his eyes is when the anime gives us a close-up of his face during a dramatic moment. The only other time we saw so much as one eye open was when Kinnikuman forced it open while posing as a nurse.

Even Evil Has Standards
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: When Kinnikuman isn't beating opponents into joining his side, this is what usually happens to signal his enemies changing sides. During the American Tag Tournament, Ramenman strips Devil Magician of his weapons, and it's stated that while Ramenman was a brutal choujin at the time, he never used sharp objects. Warsman was established as an absolutely ruthless competitor in the 21st Choujin Olympics arc... with an even more ruthless trainer in Mr. Barracuda. He is the one person who scares the crap out of Warsman. for good reason too, considering his real identity. An extreme version of this happens when Neptuneman announces his plans to remove all of the masks of any defeated masked Choujin. Even the Devil Choujin are appalled by this. Although the Perfect Choujin were elitist jerks, they still had two rules: to never show a back to an opponent, and to never use a weapon that wasn't part of their body. While they follow the first one, it's subverted in that the only person that actually follows the latter rule is Neptuneman, which becomes especially important because it leads to Neptuneman having a crisis of faith once Big the Budo (now unmasked as the Neptune King) breaks that rule in their fight against Kinnikuman and Terryman.. The Five Evil Gods may have it against Kinnikuman before for having potential to take on a Choujin God, but even they are against the idea of killing off every Choujin using the same Capillera Seven Rays like in the past and that is why they are protecting the remaining pieces that can create those rays from the anti-Choujin faction of fellow Gods led by God of Harmony.

Sorting Algorithm of Evil
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_323f135b
comment
Sorting Algorithm of Evil - first you have the Zangyaku Choujin, who are more brutal, then you have the Akuma Choujin, who worship Satan and are punished with death when they lost, then you have the Perfect Choujin, who are planning to invade the Earth after stealing the masks of Earth's mightiest heroes, and finally you have the Evil Gods of Choujin. Then it goes up in the 2012 manga series with the Perfect Large Numbers who are consisted of Perfect Chojin who are sent by the Perfect Origin, the original Perfect Chojin who Goldman and Silverman were originally part of. In the True Devils Arc, they come the Omega Centauri's Six Spears who are guided by Satan as the new Devil Choujin and led by Omegaman Aristera who is Omegaman Dexia's brother who are all very powerful to the point the Five Evil Gods intervene by getting the Five Fated Princes in action again including Kinnikuman Soldier II, Ataru Kinniku! Then comes the newest arc, Kinnikuman will be fighting for the survival of all Choujin... by taking on an anti-Choujin faction of Choujin Gods led by the God of Harmony who have descended from Heaven as Super Gods or Choushin!

comment
Power Levels - Introduced simply to illustrate how much of a challenge Buffaloman presented when he was first introduced and stuck around after that. Largely subverted as the levels rarely seem to have any effect on the outcome of a match. Though it did came to discussion involving Kinnikuman's Burning Inner Strength increasing his Chojin power to 70 Million when he defeated the Hell Missionaries along with Terryman.

Kick the Dog
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_34dcfc96
comment
Kick the Dog - Mixer Taitei actually puts a puppy into his blender, separating the skeleton from the rest of the body, before fighting Kinnikuman. It's so pointlessly heinousnote  At first; Mixer Taitei just used it as an example of how his separating blender works with the puppy serving as Kinnikuman and the bones serving as his burning inner strength that even his captain, Kinnikuman Mariposa is confused by it. Mr Barracuda does a two-for-one in the 21st Choujin Olympics. He promises 100 criminals on death row that if they could run past a blindfolded Warsman and live, their sentence would be lifted. When the obvious result happens, Mr Barracuda punishes Warsman because as it turns out, one of them was still alive. After Screw Kid and Kendaman fail to beat Mongolman and Buffaloman, Neptuneman and Big the Budo reward their effort...by destroying them. When Ataru Kinniku/Fake Kinnikuman Soldier finally fades away from existence after a heartwarming reunion with his brother, Super Phoenix says it was probably better for all of them to get rid of an imposter that was so disrespectful and unruly to his parents. It's completely insulting, but it makes sense why someone like him would say that; growing up completely alone would probably make you less inclined to think highly of running away from family. In the Perfect Large Numbers arc, Kinnikuman beats Peek-a-Boo (a Perfect Choujin with the ability of learning techniques as the match progresses) by means of using basic moves he couldn't counter as a result of learning complex ones too fast. Kinnikuman tries to befriend him, but Nemesis shows up and uses the Muscle Spark on him. Suguru saves him just in time, but hima and Peek-A-Boo end up severely wounded.

Death Is Cheap
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_37fcf16
comment
Death Is Cheap - And HOW. The only main character who died and was never resurrected was Prince Kamehame/Kinnikuman Great I. There are multiple ways to escape the afterlife, including literally. This gets defied at the end of the Perfect Origin arc of the revival though, as Akuma Shogun destroyed the Choujin Graveyard system so deaths will stick, as seen when none of the many casualties from the arc came back afterwards.

The Man Behind the Man
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_3a1c2171
comment
The Man Behind the Man - Big the Budo, who for the past two rounds had been working as Neptuneman's lackey, is revealed not only to be Neptune King, the one in charge, but the one who turned Kenkaman INTO Neptuneman, making him the true villain of the Choujin Tag Arc Similarly, Mr Barracuda, Warsman's trainer unmasks himself as Robin Mask, who says that he trained Warsman specifically to kill Kinnikuman, making him the true villain of the 21st Choujin Olympics. In the 2012 series, who sent the Perfect Large Numbers to attack Kinnikuman and why are the Devil Chojin involved in this especially Goldman/Akuma Shogun? The person is not other than Chojin Enma. At the end of the True Devils Arc, it's revealed that the one who made the decision for the Perfect Origin to attack the Omega Centauri's ancestors wasn't The Man but the Choujin Gods themselves due to wanting to become powerful like gods via Magnet Power. Not only that, The Man leads a faction of one half of Choujin Gods that wants to keep the very Choujin alive. As for the other half, the faction that wants every Choujin dead is led by an even more Greater-Scope Villain than The Man himself, the God of Harmony.

No Swastikas - Notably Averted. Nazi wrestler Brockenman, who was a straight up heel; as well as his face son, Brocken Jr. both have swastikas prominently displayed on their attire. They had started editing out the swastikas as early as the Throne arc anime, where it was replaced with a bird crest, and by the time Ultimate Muscle comes around it's been changed to a skull and crossbones, a change that stuck with subsequent merchandise and the 2012 revival arcs.

Curb-Stomp Battle - Ramenman VS. Motorman. Also played both ways in Ramenman VS. Brocken, Jr. and done in a concrete ring meaning there was literal curb. On The Other Wiki, the Mammothman vs. Leopardon match is described thus: "The instant he enters the ring he is killed by Mammothman's '''Nose Fencing'''." Kinnikuman VS. Prince Kamehame. Lasts all of 7 seconds, with Kinnikuman's loss.

Took a Level in Kindness - It'd be easier to list the recurring characters who don't experience this, but perhaps most significantly seen is the change in the Devil Choujin faction in the revival, where they have transitioned from merciless and vicious killers to still-ruthless Anti Heroes who nevertheless value friendship, respect noble ideals, and employ vicious tactics because sometimes somebody has to do it.

Characterization Marches On
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: When he was first introduced, Terryman was a cold-hearted asshole that only fought monsters for pay, going so far as to kick a child when they didn't have enough money to pay him to rescue their father from a monster. Compared to his established character as an almost pure-hearted All-American Face, it's quite a change. While he was still very silly, Kinkotsuman was treated as a serious threat in the Monster Extermination era of the series. He was the first villain to give Kinnikuman a lot of trouble, and while it was mostly with the use of his monsters he would sometimes fight himself — and put up a surprisingly good fight despite his physique. He was even the only villain to have the foresight to carry around Kinnikuman's weakness (milk) so he could cancel out the power of garlic whenever Kinnikuman tried to power up to defeat his monsters. Now contrast that with his character once the series switched to wrestling, a feeble coward who became strictly comic relief. Ramenman is known for being the wise and revered martial artist of the Justice Choujin, but in his original appearance he was a Brutal Choujin who was nothing more than a psychopath and a cannibal.

Funetik Aksent - In early chapters of the manga, Kinnikuman's speech was mostly written as katagoto (using mainly katakana) to highlight his lack of sophistication and intelligence. In the fan translation of the 2012 continuation manga, many characters' dialogue {particularly Brocken, Jr. and Warsman) is depicted this way, along with Poirot Speak.

Charlie Brown from Outta Town - Four times. Kinnikuman Great, who appears twice as a disguise for characters who then team up with Kinnikuman in situations where he could not find a tag partner, or where the characters themselves wouldn't normally be allowed to compete. The first time it's Prince Kamehame, the second time it's Terryman. During the America arc, Kinnikuman masquerades as African-American southerner Channelman as he pummels his way across the lower 48 During the Devil Chojin and Dream Tag arcs, Ramenman was disguised as Mongolman. During the Scramble for the Throne arc, The Samurai is Neptuneman.

Combat Pragmatist - It could apply for most villains/antagonists along the series who always went to a match with a handicap in their favor or resorted to underhanded tactics to get an advantage, but the crown goes to Super Phoenix. The one fight where he didn't resort to underhanded tactics to get an advantage at any moment was his debut fight with Big Body.

All Your Powers Combined - During the American Tour Arc, Kinkotsuman created the Black Shadow, an artificial Choujin with the technique of Robin Mask, the strength of Beauty Rhodes, the brutality of Ramenman - and his own brains. This was the basis of Akuma Shogun's body—the power of Sunshine, the technique of The Ninja, the speed of Planetman, the cruelty of Junkman, and the unique body of Sneagator (possibly the shape-shifting properties). Kinnikuman Super Phoenix uses this at the end of the series, absorbing the powers of all five Evil Choujin Gods while fighting Kinnikuman. It doesn't save him from being Muscle Sparked after Kinnikuman regains his Burning Inner Strength, though.

Masquerading As the Unseen: Terryman tried this twice. In the Seven Devil Choujin arc he tried to pose as Kinnikuman to give the real Kinnikuman time to heal, but was quickly found out. In the Dream Tag Team arc, he became Kinnikuman Great following the death of Prince Kamehame. In that case he wasn't found out until he was unmasked, even after he started fighting with his own style rather than trying to copy Great's.

Dark Is Not Evil - Kind of an extreme Example: Brocken Jr., Despite dressing like a Nazi (complete with Swaztikas), never exhibits any Nazi like Behavior and is actually a pretty nice guy. This also applies to the Soviet Warsman after his Heel–Face Turn. Even the Swastikas end up phased out by the Throne arc, and his history as a Nazi is all but unspoken of by Ultimate Muscle. Somewhat less extreme is Ashuraman, perhaps a literal "Devil Choujin" (he is the prince of the Demon World, and was raised to be devoid of compassion; thanks to his trainer saving him from drowning, it didn't quite take)

Adaptation Distillation - The anime somewhat cut down on Character Development, several plots from the Monster Extermination Chapters were either dropped, or were put in a later part of the series timeline, the American Tag Team arc was dropped altogether save for Kin's match against Jesse Mavia and the episodes revolving around it and overall, some side characters' appearances in the story were either lengthened or shortened. However, the anime is still enjoyable in its own right.

Image Song - Notable both for not being performed by the characters' seiyuu, and for having them even for one shot villains. It's basically pro-wrestling, so it'd actually be more unusual for anyone to not have a song, really. To the point where every character's theme song seems to be done in a style appropriate for that character—Robin Mask's theme actually sounds like a Japanese Beatles cover band, and Pentagon's theme sounds like a disco song.

Author Appeal Back in the superhero days, it was quite common to see baseball players in the manga. Remember that originally the manga was a spoof of Ultraman, so all the references to wrestling count until the series became all about wrestling.

Expressive Mask - Just about everybody from planet Kinniku wears one that is essentially a replacement for their faces. Other characters' masks (Most notably those of Robin Mask and Warsman), are also expressive, but to a far lesser degree. Ashuraman's masks express his three "modes": Laughing, Cold-Blooded, and Enraged.

When Ataru Kinniku/Fake Kinnikuman Soldier finally fades away from existence after a heartwarming reunion with his brother, Super Phoenix says it was probably better for all of them to get rid of an imposter that was so disrespectful and unruly to his parents. It's completely insulting, but it makes sense why someone like him would say that; growing up completely alone would probably make you less inclined to think highly of running away from family.

If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten! - In the American Tournament arc, the World Choujin Federation suspect African-American southerner "Channelman" (Kinnikuman in disguise in order to infiltrate their organization) of being Kinnikuman, they put out a picture of Mayumi for him to stomp, as part of a test to prove that he was not. "Channelman"...gladly stomps on the photo, to which Meat silently remarks that this sort of test is easy for Kinnikuman, who has the least respect for his father. The same organization had something similar as their normal entrance test - to join them, you must bring in the severed head of a heroic Choujin. Two of the applicants try to fake it and are kicked out, while one passes by bringing the head of a rival company's former champion.

Oddly enough, some of the villains switch to being good for no explained reason; The Ninja didn't even fight Kinnikuman in the series, yet after being Put on a Bus in the Dream Choujin Tag Team Arc, he suddenly returns to join the good guys despite his insistence that he's still a Devil Choujin. And there's Black Hole, whose alignment is anybody's guess; he was killed by Kinnikuman in his introductory arc without any indication that he had reformed, yet in the Dream Choujin Tag Team Arc, he's teamed up with Pentagon, who was a rather prominent Justice Choujin before he gets pummeled by Warsman. Though judging from the new series, Pentagon has possibly become a Devil Choujin too, so it may not be a coincidence that Black Hole teamed up with him.

When he was first introduced, Terryman was a cold-hearted asshole that only fought monsters for pay, going so far as to kick a child when they didn't have enough money to pay him to rescue their father from a monster. Compared to his established character as an almost pure-hearted All-American Face, it's quite a change.

Truth in Television: The series is prevalent to scenarios wherein an antagonist who's been dominating a match can find themselves rendered just as low as their opponent, if not outright defeated, with a single broken or reversed move. While Zig-Zagged in just how much the hero of the day usually has to survive in order to reach that point, this isn't unfounded — in a professional wrestling match, a single botched maneuver can be all it takes to ruin you.

To elaborate: The technique involves dropping someone chest first onto the ground from a great height while the user pulls their opponent's arms back and hooks their legs together to prevent escape. Where it falls head-first into this trope is that the amount of air resistance that occurs as they're falling is strong enough to carve the letter A to onto the victim's chest. Definitely powered by the Rule of Cool.

Mask Power - What with being Pro-Wrestling and all. The biggest examples are the Kinniku Clan, who must commit suicide if their masks are removed, Mongolman, whose mask prevents him from succumbing to a debilitating injury, and Kinnikuman Great, whose mask functions as a Charlie Brown from Outta Town for two characters. And in the final arc, Kinnikuman unveiling (briefly) his mask becomes a Swiss-Army Superpower of its own.

Moral Guardians: Considering how strict the American Media Watchdogs of the 80's were, with heroes having to be good role models and cartoons having to be squeaky clean, they would never have allowed a hero like Suguru (despite the fact that Kinnikuman did have a strong sense of justice, most of the time he acted like a shameless coward, slacker and lech) on our airwaves, let alone a show with all the Toilet Humor and startling amount of violence, gore and people dying so much that it makes DBZ deaths look tame. Mattel probably took one look at the show and said there was no way they could import it without censoring it out of existence. And then there's Brocken and Brocken Jr.... An in-universe example happens when Kin's match with Curry Cook, along with Ramenman's match with Brockenman are only available on radio broadcast instead of television. Kinnikuman immediately believes that this happens because Harabote doesn't think that he's good enough to fight on TV, (which he agrees) but the real reason why is because the other Choujin often killed their opponents.

Often a powerful Chojin will be brutally beaten by the designated Big Bad of the arc.

At the end of the True Devils Arc, it's revealed that the one who made the decision for the Perfect Origin to attack the Omega Centauri's ancestors wasn't The Man but the Choujin Gods themselves due to wanting to become powerful like gods via Magnet Power. Not only that, The Man leads a faction of one half of Choujin Gods that wants to keep the very Choujin alive. As for the other half, the faction that wants every Choujin dead is led by an even more Greater-Scope Villain than The Man himself, the God of Harmony.

Evil Counterpart - Kinkotsuman to Kinnikuman. In name, Kinkotsuman means "Bone-and-Sinew Man", and Kinnikuman means "Muscle Man". In appearance, Kinnikuman is a muscular man, and Kinkotsuman is some sort of thin skeleton guy. As far as incompetence goes he matches Kinnikuman fairly well. Unlike his enemy Kinkotsuman couldn't find a more fitting profession and therefore became less prominent when Cerebus Syndrome kicked in. The other contenders for the throne in the final arc are these for Kinnikuman. except for Kinnikuman Soldier.

Merchandise-Driven: Those fondly-remembered little pink figurines, brought to the US (without much in the way of supporting fiction) by Mattel as M.U.S.C.L.E. note  Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere. Kinnikuman became Muscleman, leader of the Thug Busters (the good guys), and Buffaloman became Terri-bull, leader of the Cosmic Crunchers (the bad guys).

Garbage Wrestler - Quite a few Choujin, including many heroic ones, will use weapons in the ring. The rules Hand Wave it by saying it's allowed as long as the weapon is part of a Choujin's body. It's taken to a literal degree with Junkman, who's made of garbage and has trash compactor spikes for hands.

After many shades of Character Development, Robin Mask becomes this.

Scare 'Em Straight - Seeing Bibinba as redundant (As Meat pretty much does everything Bibinba wants to do for Suguru), Kinnikuman pays a monster to kidnap her in order to make her go back home. Bibinba however interprets this as a Secret Test of Character by Kinnikuman in order to determine if she was worthy and responds to it...by beating the crap out of the poor monster.

Master-Apprentice Chain
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_ad3c0e49
comment
Master-Apprentice Chain: The chain can be seen in the Devil Choujin faction throughout the reboot's Perfect Origin arc. The lower ranked members, the Seven Devil Choujin, were trained by the Devil Knight Sneagator. The Devil Knights, in turn, are the direct disciples and followers of Akuma Shogun. Akuma Shogun, back when he went by the name Goldman, was the disciple of a powerful Choujin known simply as "The Man". When Akuma Shogun does battle with the Man, now going by the name Choujin Enma, he brings this trope out in full. He declares that the Man taught him that it was a student's duty to surpass the master, and proclaims that he can not expect his followers to do that if he can't surpass his own master.

Avenging the Villain - Brocken Jr's main reason for revenge against Ramenman, who killed his father Brockenman in his days as a heel. On one hand it's justified by the fact that Ramenman turned Brockenman in noodles and ate him note In the manga, he tore the man clean in half with the Camel Clutch instead. after killing him for no apparent reason other than For the Evulz. On the other hand, Brockenman fought dirty and pretty much got what was coming to him (a fact which even Jr. admits).

Abusive Parents - Played for laughs with Kinnikuman's dad, Mayumi. Wanting to strangle Kin's neck as a child because of his stupid mask and mistaking him for a pig and subsequently abandoning him on Earth are just a few of the examples of just how hard Mayumi fails at being a father. Ashuraman's parents aren't going to win any "Parent Of The Year" awards either, considering that they taught their son that things such as mercy and friendship were a heinous crime.

Demoted to Extra - Within a series of many characters, this was unavoidable, but probably the worst to suffer from this were the 4D Killer Combo of Pentagon and Black Hole, one being built up as a major power of the Justice Choujin before losing to Warsman and the other being built up as a Big Bad of an arc before being reduced to a lackey due to Buffaloman being more popular.

Hoax Hogan: Neptuneman. Originally appearing as a villain, like many such characters he turned over a new leaf after losing to Kinnikuman.

Different from him, he comes from UK instead the US.

Deader than Dead: The Choujin Book of Prophecy contains the entire fate of every Choujin in existence.

comment
Big Bad Wannabe - Kinkotsuman tried very hard to be the Big Bad in the Monster Extermination Chapters. Unfortunately, he was about as good at being a supervillain as Kinnikuman was at being a superhero. Mixer Taitei manages to be one of the only villains to ever straight up defeat Kinnikuman himself, but immediately afterward suffers the ignominy of being basically killed by Kinnikuman's milquetoast kid sidekick, Meat. To be fair, Mixer Taitei is a giant blender Choujin and his fight before literally knocked a few of his screws loose without him realizing it, making him extremely vulnerable to drops and suplexes... but the fact of the latter battle still remains. The only reason he won the battle before was because the 5 Evil Gods gave him a temporary power-up, meaning the match was 1 against 6. And even then Mr. VTR has to alter reality enough to help him win.

Shout-Out: Several. Kinnikuman's given name, Suguru, is a reference to baseball player Suguru Egawa. Geronimo's full name is Geronimo Young Mc Daniel, the last part referencing Native-American wrestler Wahoo Mc Daniel. During the Nemesis arc, The Devil Choujin refer to their master as "The Great One" Chapter 24 of the manga is one giant shout-out to Rocky, complete with an Expy of Apollo Creed. Bikeman's moves and even his nationality (Australian) are a reference to the movie The Road Warrior. The Distaff Counterpart manga Kinnikuman Lady seems to be a shoutout to Devilman Lady, at least in name. Warsman's real name happens to be Nikolai Volkoff, the name of a heel wrestler most famous for tagging with the Iron Sheik in the 1980s.

Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: During his match against Robin Mask, Kinnikuman becomes too disenheartened to continue to fight. He gets one of these from Kinkotsuman of all people, and Ramenman tells him to man up and fight.

I Know Madden Kombat - Mostly comes with the wrestlers who are just giant mundane objects with arms and legs. The anthropomorphic urinal will flush you, the giant traffic light will make you stop, the anthropomorphic 100-story tall hotel can...grow 100 stories tall, and so forth. Even extends to weaknesses, which is usually how the really powerful ones are defeated.

Taking You with Me
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_caf89e54
comment
Taking You with Me - The Devil Choujin's motto. Several of their members have shown that they're willing to enact upon it. The Mountain does this in every appearance he's been in: In his match against Terryman in the Devil Choujin arc, he attempts to drag down Terryman with him before falling into the abyss below the ring but fails. Seven years later, he does this to Strong The Budo. Sneagator does this to Kinnikuman as a built-in response to being killed but Kinnikuman gets better thanks to Wolfman's Heroic Sacrifice. Atlantis does this as well, finishing Marlinman with the Tower Bridge before dying himself from being speared through the chest with Marlinman's nose.

Kinkotsuman to Kinnikuman. In name, Kinkotsuman means "Bone-and-Sinew Man", and Kinnikuman means "Muscle Man". In appearance, Kinnikuman is a muscular man, and Kinkotsuman is some sort of thin skeleton guy. As far as incompetence goes he matches Kinnikuman fairly well. Unlike his enemy Kinkotsuman couldn't find a more fitting profession and therefore became less prominent when Cerebus Syndrome kicked in.

Refuge in Audacity - Let's see, to start it off, we got wrestling superheroes, then we have a Nazi that breathes poison gas, a Chinese superhuman that kills his opponents and turns him into noodles, then in the next arc we have a Soviet cyborg and in the next arc we have superhumans that sold their soul to the devil and an instance in which our hero farting to eliminate a black hole. And that's not even half of the series described.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here - Done many times by Kinnikuman, but the worst one was in the Golden Mask arc. After the Devil Knights tell him that he must defeat them to get back the Gold Mask (which was draining all of the energy of the Seigi Choujin), Kinnikuman throws away the Silver Mask, which must be reunited with the Gold Mask.

Flexible Tourney Rules - in general, rules against foreign objects tend to be ignored if said object is a part of a fighter's body or costume (Neptuneman's spikes, Buffaloman's horns); also, the Scramble for the Throne tournament sees not only the rules, but the teams as well, change.

Continuity Snarl/Epic Fail - For the writers, artists, and editors. When Akuma Shogun first appears Geronimo immediately attacks him. During the fight, we see a panel showing the other Idol Choujin reacting to the fight, with Geronimo in the group! In other words, they drew Geronimo in a group watching his own fight.

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain - Kinkotsuman and Iwao are complete losers, plain and simple. Before the Cerebus Syndrome however, they somewhat subverted the trope because Kinnikuman was just as big a loser. Heck, the first time they actually did something harmful to the heroes (Kinkotsuman shot Terryman in the leg) was completely by accident, because he was aiming for Kinnikuman. The fact that Kinkotsuman was shooting to kill doesn't really make it any better.

Determinator - Kinnikuman. This is largely what gets him through every single fight he's involved in, and a big part of the reason that even supervillains come to respect him. One of his character themes have "NEVER GIVE UP" as the first sung lyrics, afterall. Honorable mention goes to Harabote Muscle and Those Two Guys Canadianman and Specialman at the end of the Golden Mask arc. The Big Bad's arranged the match so all the minor wrestlers were forced to hold up the ring. In the anime, after nearly being crushed several times they manage to keep it up with the help from Geronimo's spirit. In the manga however, they were the only ones that never gave up and were the ones that kept the arena from killing anyone else.

Mystical 108: It is implied that there are 108 Choujin Gods that includes the Five Evil Gods and Choujin Enma aka the Merciful God or The Man. They all possess each puzzle piece that creates the very Capillaria Seven Rays that wiped out every other Choujin in the past and the faction of gods lead by God of Harmony are after them to wipe out every Choujin once and for all. Following The Reveal, it is Played With that while there are 108 seats for Choujin Gods, there were never 108 Gods as there were only 107 at most. While one of the alternate plans was to make Satan a God, they created Choujin as part of The Man's plan to make a candidate to be the new 108th God.

An in-universe example happens when Kin's match with Curry Cook, along with Ramenman's match with Brockenman are only available on radio broadcast instead of television. Kinnikuman immediately believes that this happens because Harabote doesn't think that he's good enough to fight on TV, (which he agrees) but the real reason why is because the other Choujin often killed their opponents.

Americans Are Cowboys: Terryman. He even specializes in Texas-flavored moves, like the Calf Branding.

In fact, most American characters in the series do not fit the trope—it's just that the most popular one (Terryman) does.

This Is a Drill: For Screw Kid, drilling into his enemy is his entire "thing" - his Hell Driver maneuver with Kendaman is insanely deadly. Motorman has a drill for a head but specializes in Shock and Awe primarily. Jack Tea, a water faucet-themed Perfect choujin, has one as well. Makes sense when you consider that a drill is used to make a water well.

Have a Gay Old Time: Translating the title and recurring lyric of the 2nd anime opening theme runs into this. The Japanese title is "Hono'o no Kinnikuman". The literal translation would be "Flame's Kinnikuman" or "Kinnikuman of Flames", but the more functional translation would be "Flaming Kinnikuman". Of course, "flaming" in American slang carries a...different connotation. Most translators settle on "Burning Kinnikuman," even if it is a slightly inaccurate translation. note If it were meant to be "Burning Kinnikuman", the Japense title would be something like "Moete Kinnikuman".

The Power of Friendship
 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_faece9aa
comment
The Power of Friendship: One of the central themes. Even the bad guys rely on friendship in this series, such as Fan favorite villain Sunshine and fellow heel Ashuraman, stating "Even demons possess friendship!" and then it's taken up to eleven in the Throne Arc with Mixer Taitei's Finishing Move, "Evil Choujin Friendship Power". Played with in the match between Team Super Phoenix and Team Soldier. Kinnikuman Soldier says that the Justice Choujin's friendship isn't a very good one: sure, they're all pals, but they're very dependent on one another, proven true when Buffaloman wants to tag in Soldier when he sees the terrifying power of Mammothman's tusks because he's injured. Soldier states that this kind of friendship will never make them any stronger-in fact, it will probably make them weaker. Soldier then says he plans to teach them True Friendship Power. The Friendship Power is so great that the Perfect Large Numbers consider it along with the Burning Inner Strength threats to the order of the Chojin world. The Big Bad of the Six Spears arc weaponizes this during his fight against Super Phoenix.

 Kinnikuman (Manga) / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics - The explanation for the Napalm Stretch makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Ironic in the fact that the one time they try to explain physics in this series, it completely fails. To elaborate: The technique involves dropping someone chest first onto the ground from a great height while the user pulls their opponent's arms back and hooks their legs together to prevent escape. Where it falls head-first into this trope is that the amount of air resistance that occurs as they're falling is strong enough to carve the letter A to onto the victim's chest. Definitely powered by the Rule of Cool.
