The Revolution will tell you upfront that Ultimate Muscle is not Neon Genesis Evangelion or Ghost In The Shell. After the FoxBox canceled the Ultimate Muscle anime, Viz licensed the manga and started printing it under their Shonen Jump Advanced label. It was pretty funny but lacked the adult themes and the brutal violence of the manga. The Ultimate Muscle anime was dubbed by 4Kids and aired on the FoxBox for two seasons. This manga follows him trying to follow in his father’s footsteps to become the greatest superhuman wrestler and to defeat all evil superhumans. Or Mantaro Muscle as they translate it for English. Ultimate Muscle is the second manga starring Suguru Kinnikuman’s son Mantaro Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman was generally a cowardly idiot who became the ultimate superhuman wrestler and matured into a mighty champion who still acted like an idiot on occasion. Good superhumans would fight evil superhumans in the wrestling ring with the control of the world at stake. However, after several volumes, Kinnikuman became a superhuman wrestler. Kinnikuman was a manga and anime in the 1980s that centered around a character called Kinnikuman or in English “Muscle Man.” His real name was Suguru Kinnikuman. So, Mattel changed the names and gave the toy line a different background and storyline. They were Kinnikuman toys from Japan, however, only the toys were brought to America and not the storyline. toy line from the 1980’s that was brought over by Mattel.
