■Introduction
Based on the popular manga series serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, the TV anime series
“Kinnikuman” was first broadcast in 1983 and soon became a social phenomenon, widely
recognized for its derived capsule toy “Kinkeshi”. This animated sequel, produced by
Production I.G, marks the first in 32 years. Production I.G is known for producing the
“Ghost in the Shell” series and many other masterpieces, including “Kuroko’s Basketball”
and “Haikyu!!”. The main staff also includes talented individuals who have been leading the
Japanese animation scene in recent years. Now, the new battle of Kinnikuman is about to
begin!

■Story
Prince Kinnikuman, who came to Earth from Kinnikusei, a planet at the end of the universe,
was always ridiculed by humans as a useless Chojin. However, by chance, he was given the
right to participate in the Chojin World Cup, a tournament to determine the world’s best
Chojin, and by a miracle, he won the championship. The following year, he even won it
again!

Since then, he has become a central figure among Seigi Chojin who protects the peace of
the universe. He has managed to defeat the raging forces of the enemy, including Akuma
Chojin who plans to rule the world, and Perfect Chojin who aims to wipe out the weak Chojin
on Earth, with the power of friendship with his friends, including Terryman and Robin Mask.

In recognition of his achievements, Kinnikuman wins the “Survival Match for the Kinnikusei
Throne,” the final test of his career, and is crowned the 58th Great King of Kinnikusei! He
returned to his home planet from Earth, got married, and said goodbye to eight years of
fighting.
About a year and a half later, the entire universe was supposed to be at peace…
