Fed up with his deteriorating work conditions. #Kinnikuman #DailyChojin
And that’s where we are today. This current arc certainly has a climatic feel to it, but so far there’s no word on if it’s the end, and Yudetamago have even said they’d like to continue making Kinnikuman until they die.
The first arc of the revival series, “Perfect Origin”, ran from 2011 to 2016, serialized online at Weekly Playboy’s website just as Nisei’s time travel arc had been. This came out to a whopping 23 volumes total, yet far better paced than Nisei’s 28 volumes of tag tournament.
To be blunt, Nisei’s time travel arc was not a big hit, but this revived OG series got a much better response. It took the focus off Kinnikuman himself and gave the supporting characters and former enemies the starring role, with arch-villain Akuma Shogun a second protagonist.
So anyway, I was talking about the Kinnikuman franchise. After finishing the sequel Nisei/Ultimate Muscle, in 2011 creators Yudetamago began a revival of the original series, set in the 1980s and picking up right where the last volume of OG Kinnikuman left off. #Kinnikuman
42 DC: Zalama trademarks the DB’s distinctive red star pattern. How this “Divine Calendar” fits into the overall timeline is unknown, but the name implies it’s used by the gods, and Year 41/42 (rather than 100 Zillion) in turn implies these events were early on in divine history.
Yudetamago have talked a bit about perhaps continuing Nisei someday (possibly with a “Neo Scramble for the Throne”, presumably a Nisei version of OG Kinnikuman’s final arc). In the meantime though, they have a new project: a revival of the 80s series! But more on that tomorrow...
After 29 volumes, in 2004 Nisei shifted to the Weekly Playboy website for its second phase: a long (28 volume!) crossover tag tournament where Mantaro and friends travel back in time to face off against Kinnikuman and co. in their prime. This ran to 2011, but was never animated.
