Ultimate muscle: kinnikuman legacy
Ultimate Muscle: Kinnikuman Legacy is the brand new series based on the 80s Kinnikuman (Muscleman) franchise of manga, anime and collectible action figures. The show is a combination of professional wrestling, action/dark adventures and superheroism. The show makes common toilet humor at times and has some funny moments especially when the main character sings the Rice & Cow song (Karubidon Ondo). The film focueses on Kid Muscle, the son of King Muscle; ruler of Muscle Planet, who becomes the new protector of Earth and the main wrestler for the Intergalatic Wrestling Federation facing off new enemies. Coached by his father's former advisor, Meat, he must put aside his cowardness and his gluttonous to save the world.
The show had low ratings and lack of interest in Japan but was made a cult following and a hit in the United States. Episodes were popping by and the fans wanted more. So, 4Kids contacted the animation studio to produce 20 more episodes for a new second season; but remove the kanji symbol from Kid's mask because 4Kids is localizing cartoons removing all Japanese culture.
The show only aired in FoxBox and 4Kids TV! and still remains a show to be remembered.
