Go! Fight! + Sensation (Opening 1 & 3) 8 Bit Remix - Kinnikuman
9kinnikuman is one of those things that i completely forget exists for months to years at a time and then remember and go "damn i really liked that that was good and underrated" which it very much so is. the thing that sparked me remembering how much i love kinnikuman was talking to a buddy about how the leaks for the new jump game are lacking characters from [x] series and have absurd over-representation from fotm bullshit like MOEsaw SHITman and such. when it clicked in my head that yet another jump game didn't even bother to add suguru it all came back to me. kinnikuman is really good, if you like muscle men as much as i do you'll 100% have a good time and will also likely be surprised at the sheer amount of quality here. early kinnikuman is very, very gag-focused and shows the roots of it being an ultraman parody a lot more clearly but as it went on it became a whole thing of its own. the rest of the series revolves primarily around wrestling fights and are really well done. every single move, every single character and their abilities are really well explained and thought out, with well defined strengths and weaknesses for any one of them. people always talk about how stuff like jojo post-hamon is le battle of intellectual wits and le epic and whatever but those boil down to however araki feels like he can write the powers. the fights in kinnikuman are battles of strength, sure, but having experience and wit are just as if not more valuable than pure brute force. i haven't read the sequel manga, kinnikuman nisei, nor the 2011 series that is still running today, last i checked. the original manga is well worth your time.
one of the things that is most well known about kinnikuman to the general public are some of the designs for the many characters. most notably, brockenman and brocken jr, who both wear funny silly uniforms. brockenman was fucking torn in half by ramenman during one of the chojin olympics that i cannot remember the number of and brocken jr started as an antagonist and eventually became a good nazi boy.
if you are easily offended please get off this channel first of all but also you might not feel comfortable reading kinnikuman for some of the early stereotype characters alone and to that i say please grow up
i am really tired right now and if anyone knows any methods to make insomnia bouts blow over faster please let me know thanks love you not in a queer way though
have a great day, gentlemen.
also if you've paid close attention to certain descriptions, you might remember that i said id be releasing a bunch of originals at 1k, the honest answer is i'm not done working on all of them. i've scrapped a bunch and want to have only quality stuff that im happy with on there.
also needing more song suggestions from vidya or anime or whatever else at the moment
