Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc (2024) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
1
Fighters who possess
superior physical and mental attributes,
and combat abilities
that far exceed those of humans.
Since ancient times, people have
called them superhumans, or Chojin.
I've always wanted to
spar with you for real one more time.
This is just a spar,
and not an official match.
But when I spar with you,
I want to pour my blood and sweat into it
without any regrets.
Let's go with Texas rules.
No throws, no joint locks.
Just punching and kicking.
A Texas Fist Deathmatch.
You in?
Obviously!
I've been watching you for years.
I know your openings!
Jabs to the nose!
They're disrupting the prince's breathing!
Do you remember?
The first time I met you,
you were such an unlikeable bastard!
Yeah. I remember!
You're eating too much, Prince!
Help! My Dad's being attacked
by a monster!
What?!
Well, did you bring some money?
Boy, don't yank my chain.
Let's go save your dad, kid.
You punched that crappy attitude
right out of me.
Listening to the two of them
reminds me of the 20th Chojin World Cup.
The one my dad was in?
I was quite young then too.
We're now in the semi-finals!
In the blue corner, Ramenman!
What the hell is this ring?!
What do I do?!
Prince, now's your chance!
-Prince!
-Kinnikuman!
Kinnikuman's days are over.
Over.
Hey!
What are you doing there?
It's Terryman!
Oh, no!
That incident at the Chojin World Cup
left Terryman with a prosthetic left leg.
And as a result,
Kinnikuman and I faced off in the finals.
London's great Tower Bridge!
It's over.
What?!
Ref, start the count!
One!
Two!
Three!
I now know
That was the first time
I witnessed Burning Inner Strength.
Robin's talking about the good old days.
Reminds me of Madison Square Garden.
Yeah. Like I'd ever forget.
They did it!
The Machineguns
turned it around to a victory!
The Machineguns.
We sure fought with each other a lot,
but we were a good team.
Yeah.
Then after the tag team match,
there was the big fight.
For the belt that
Kinnikuman was stripped of,
the Chojin World Cup "The Big Fight"
was specially arranged.
I sent Warsman to get my revenge
on Kinnikuman.
Warsman is a Fighting Computer!
His emotions were
removed through training.
The only sound
you'll hear him make is his breathing.
There it is! Screw Driver!
Now your Bear Claws have been shut down.
W-What?!
I thought I died then.
Ramenman planned to fight
as long as he could in that match
to support Kinnikuman.
And his sacrifice reached Kinnikuman.
Warsman's vicious Pallo Special
crushes Kinnikuman's hopes
for a second victory!
My first encounter with Warsman
was that Pallo Special.
I basically recruited him on the spot
after seeing his Pallo Special.
I give u
You would yield to a machine, Kinnikuman?
Ramenman
Use your raw, fiery Chojin soul
to melt the icy psyche
of the Computer Chojin!
He's right.
I still have power left!
The power of my Burning Inner Strength!
Now!
48 Killer Techniques!
Kinniku Buster!
HEIGHT: 185 CM / WEIGHT: 90 KG /
950,000~70,000,000 POWER
KINNIKU DRIVER
KINNIKUMAN'S SPECIAL MOVE IS TOO STRONG!
Through my fight with Kinnikuman,
I was able to regain my heart.
Kinnikuman has that kind of power.
But as soon as the Chojin World Cup ended,
the next threat came from space.
Yes.
You mean us Akuma Chojin.
The seven of us issue a challenge against
the Chojin World Cup Champion, Kinnikuman!
Meat!
You bastard
How dare you hurt the innocent Meat!
Don't worry.
He'll be fine
if you can put him back together.
Now, fight the seven of us
and try to get his pieces back!
Back then,
I was desperate to prove
the Akuma Chojin's power.
I wanted to destroy the world
that rejected our existence.
Spiral Dismemberment Squeeze!
And so
an all-out brawl began
between the Seigi and Akuma Chojin.
You fool!
Mountain Drop!
Terry
Mt. Saint Helens Eruption!
We struggled, but managed
to string some wins together.
In the end,
it was a tag-team match between
the team of Kinnikuman and me
under the name Mongolman
against Buffaloman and Springman.
Spring Bazooka!
Leg
Lariat!
Kinnikuman!
He's not just a regular Chojin!
He is an Akuma Chojin
who sold his body and soul to the devil!
I sold my blood to the devil
in order to gain power.
And in return for my red blood
Behold!
His skin ripped away and under it
A scarred body!
As I fought Kinnikuman,
he started to influence me.
However
The devil fully took over
Buffaloman's body!
Energy full release!
Muscle Finale!
Stop! You'll die!
What is he, a monster?
Kinniku Buster!
Buffaloman embraced a turn to justice,
and despite being punished by Satan,
you used your last strength to revive
me, Robin Mask, and Warsman.
My match with Kinnikuman was too fun.
I just got carried away.
And they gathered Meat's pieces
and brought him back.
But we would soon face a new enemy.
Planet Kinniku,
the source of the Chojin's powers,
where the Golden Mask of Strife
and the Silver Mask of Peace reside.
The Golden Mask was stolen by a new enemy.
What is your goal?!
Our goal?
It's the massacre of the Seigi Chojin!
What?!
The world is only big enough
for the Akuma Chojin.
We are the ones who control
the Seven Akuma Chojin you defeated.
We are the Akuma Chojin,
the Six Devil Knights!
Somehow, the enemy infiltrated
Warsman's body
and created a tower
of five fighting rings.
We defeated the Six Knights
and saved Warsman
But then, he appeared.
You have defeated the Seven Akuma Chojin
and the Six Devil Knights.
I shall give you the honor of facing me,
Akuma Shogun.
A-Akuma Shogun?!
Akuma Shogun's identity
The Golden Mask wasn't stolen.
The mask had actually revived itself
as Goldman in a bid to purge the world.
Hell's Guillotine!
The Chojin War is over!
What?
You see that?
I bet people like you who only fight with
anger and hate can't even imagine it.
Because you Akuma Chojin
only value those who survive,
and insult those who died as losers.
But not us Seigi Chojin!
We are still connected to the dead
through friendship!
Our bodies may perish,
but friendship never dies!
Kinniku Driver!
-Stop them!
-Let them fight.
What?!
Until they're both satisfied,
no matter how many hours it takes.
The Machineguns,
Kinnikuman and Terryman's tag team.
Their biggest stage was
the Universal Chojin Tag Tournament.
NEW MACHINEGUNS
MUSCLE BROTHERS
BIG BOMBERS
And most surprising
STRAY AKUMA CHOJIN COMBO
was the participation of those
who descended from above,
considered to be the closest to the gods.
The Perfect Chojin.
I am Neptuneman,
one half of the Hell Missionaries!
And I am the other half
of the Hell Missionaries,
Big the Budo!
The Stray Akuma Chojin's conspiracy
left the Seigi Chojin's
friendships fractured.
Even Kinnikuman and Terryman
were at each other's throats.
But the death of Prince Kamehame,
who was posing as Kinnikuman Great,
brought their friendship back together.
Terryman teamed up with Kinnikuman,
reviving the Machineguns.
The Machineguns are back
three years after taking America by storm!
During their fight, Big the Budo
was exposed to be Neptune King,
and he revealed his plans.
If Neptuneman and I defeat you,
the Perfect Chojin
will naturally take over Earth
with the help of my apprentices
who are on their way.
The Hell Missionaries
planned to oust us from Earth.
But what thwarted their ambitions
Muscle Docking!
was their friendship.
Then Kinnikuman faced his greatest trial.
The Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne.
A fire at the hospital
left the prince's identity in question.
This led to the Five Fated Princes
to come forward and claim the throne.
The potential heirs
each created their own teams to fight.
Kinnikuman Mariposa.
Kinnikuman Zebra.
Kinnikuman Big Body.
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix.
Buffaloman and I,
along with Ashuraman and the Ninja,
joined Kinnikuman Soldier's team
known as the Chojin Blood Brigade.
We were surprised
when we learned our leader, Soldier,
was Kinnikuman's actual older brother.
After a long fought battle,
Kinnikuman battled
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix
at the final showdown in Osaka Castle.
Burning Inner Strength!
Get ready, Phoenix!
70 Million Power Muscle Spark!
Farewell, long, hard-fought battle.
Super Phoenix was being tricked
by an evil god.
It's my loss, Kinnikuman.
Forgive me.
There's nothing to forgive.
Kinnikuman was accepted by the Chojin gods
and officially took the throne,
and has a wedding coming up soon.
Is this what a groom should be doing?
Why not? It's on brand for him.
Once you're married,
you best get started on making a baby!
I want to see a cute kid from you too.
In any case
congratulations.
Thanks.
