■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...
