Summary[]

Kinnikuman, heir to the throne of Planet Kinniku, began life as a bumbling chojin ridiculed by the humans he tried to protect. Through his good nature and luck, Kinnikuman gains lifelong friends like Terryman and wins back-to-back Chojin Olympic championships. Alongside other Justice Chojin, Kinnikuman fights off threats like the Devil Chojin and the Perfect Chojin, culminating in the Scramble for the Throne, in which Kinnikuman must prove himself the rightful king of Planet Kinniku.

A year and a half after the battle for the throne of Planet Kinniku, a peace treaty has been signed between the three main factions of the chojin world: the Justice Chojin, the Devil Chojin, and the Perfect Chojin. This peace is short lived, as a new threat emerges, the Perfect Large Numbers.

Plot[]

Season One[]

After Kinnikuman returns to Planet Kinniku to reign as king, a peace treaty is drafted on Earth to bring peace between the three warring chojin factions: Justice, Perfect, and Devil Chojin. This treaty is signed by Neptuneman, Terryman, and Ashuraman, however the process is disrupted by the arrival of the Perfect Large Numbers, who are headed by Strong the Budo. They claim that Neputuneman cannot act as their representative, thus the treaty is invalid.

Terryman is initially challenged to a fight by Max Radial, which triggers the start of a new tournament, in which the Devil Chojin come forward to fight the Large Numbers. Unfortunately, the Idol Chojin are in suspended animation and unable to help their comrades fight. Kinnikuman is the only returning Idol Chojin, as he forfeits his royal responsibilities to fight against Peek-a-Boo. These six matches form the bulk of the first season.
