Man bro, you’re doing gods work here. Covering the good old Fox Kids shows really gives me nostalgia vibes. I just want you to know I really appreciate it. So Thank you.
For those who might not know, there currently is a new Kinnikuman anime being made that's going to come out this year. For Ultimate Muscle fans it's somewhat of a prequel, but it's also a continuation of the old 80's series that never got a dub.
This video takes me back to the Saturday mornings I would watch this anime. One thing I loved about Ultimate Muscle aside from the humor was the characters & their various finisher moves.
Some corrections: The poison six-pack tag team matches. The first team was Terry Kenyon and Jeager, the second team was Wally Tusket and Dik Dik Van Dik, and the last tag team match had Kid Muscle and Kevin Mask (Kid did not fight in all of the matches). Also, in the manga, Meat is actually a kid. Younger than Kid Muscle.
I've already got the complete Ultimate Muscle Series Blu-ray a few days ago and I am very happy because now I can enjoy watching the episodes on my big TV screen. Even thought that I am happy to get this anime series at last I'm hoping that some of my past anime series like Cardcaptors (Nelvan), Spider Riders and Yo Kai Watch will finally be released onto Blu-Ray in the future just like Beyblade G Revolution, Sonic X and Ultimate Muscle.
I'm actually more confused now because in the beginning of the video when the mask is floating before his dad puts it on him the big lip things are actually apart of the mask??? So is that just the color of the mask?
Even though I enjoyed the way the anime ended, I feel the manga ending is superior: Having Kevin winning the tournament works not only to set up Mantaro (Kid Muscle as he's called in the dub) next arc, with him learning humility and to overcome defeat by becoming a more dedicate wrestler (making the moment where he does the Muscle Gravity in the manga earned and result of his training and dedication), but it also works as subversion of expectation for for Kevin's arc. Usually in animes, the anti-heroes (ex: Vegeta, Kaiba, Bakugo and others) starts as brooding loners who, after being defeated by the main heroes, learning the value of working with others. But in the case of Kevin, he was already in this path by accepting to be train by Lord Flesh (Warsman). He defeating Mantaro and winning the tournament works for Kevin to see the strenght he achived by letting go of his "loner wolf" attitude and accepting the help of others.
I agree with you that it would have been a better ending, but only if the anime had continued to adapt the rest of the manga. As it sits having Kid Muscle win made the most sense.
Great video, kinda wished you would've glossed over the first original series and maybe even the old little toys. We got them, but no show for years. It was awesome finally seeing where they came from when this aired.
I used to love this show but whichever channel it was that I watched it on stopped broadcasting the show before the end of the story. I used to find Kid Muscle’s obsession with food hilarious. There was also a game I used to play of this where you could fight as all the different characters and it was so much fun being Kid Muscle and using his signature move. Also really liked Kevin Mask’s character.
The ending in the anime worked fine because the series was ending. The manga wanted to continue the story with Kid Muscle feeling upset about losing to Kevin Mask and having to come to terms with his lost. Also learning to fight on his own instead of relying on a second to coach him. The manga after he gets to mentor someone else.
Ultimate muscle is one of my all time favorite tv shows, this show was so good and so funny that my dad woke up urly every sunday to see it with me i remember how happy me and my father spend time watching this show and having breakfast ❤ together
Ultimate muscle pushed the limits on what’s appropriate in 4kids. I would wanna say the same thing for tmnt, but it backfired and they toned it down in season 2.
It's been a very long time.. I forgotten how many years It's been since I remember watching Ultimate Muscle every Saturday morning.. I heard Ultimate Muscle is coming back after so many years.. I feel like it's time to rewatch it again but I wonder was it completely done for it's true ending?
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
I feel like there's a bunch missing from this from when I remember watching it 20 years ago. Wasn't there a chess man that ended up being more involved?
Poison 6 Pack and on is PEAK anime btw you didn’t mention Kids wearing a mask and we don’t know what his true face looks like only that he has brown hair..
How’d they keep ultimate muscle’s action the same with few censors and totally fuck up one piece to the point Americans hardly cared for it until it was redubbed by funi.
in the manga, meat entered a preservation pod after the events of the original kinnikuman thinking that one day the justice league might need him again and he wants to be on his peak for that

No cable gang 🫡
Dude, it's FoxBox, not Fox Kids!
@@taejasper1343Fox Kids , probably go by different names
@@taejasper1343Fox Kids in the 90s to 2000s, it changed to Fox Box in 2002

This is the 3rd time that an anime series that aired on 4 kids got a new anime. The first 2 bring Tokyo Mew Mew and shaman King
kinnikuman was dubbed to spanish, learn spanish
@@elimDBZnostalgia sells lol
@@elimDBZthe hell is Tokyo mew mew? lol
@@D-vb Is it nostalgia when the manga is still running?

Good work boss man glad you talking about this underappreciated gem
Man after this I need fighting foodons, metabots and digimon
Metabots I almost forgot that gem😢💪🏾I'm old af
Same
Fighting foodons and medabots were dope, digimon got a reboot in 2020 though.
Man Fried Ricer was my guy
Kevin Mask was the coolest character ever

Meat was with Kinnikuman before Kid was even born, how is it possible for him to be younger than kid?
I think he was put in suspended animation in between series; which halted his aging.
1:16 ok about to say his name is
(Dik Dik van Dik) . He called by another name in this video

Where did you get the series from??!?
Does it include the Japanese dub or is just the horrid 4kids one?
Thank you for doing this. This was one of my favorite shows as a kid and the memories kept rolling in 🙂
Damn 20 years later I just realized that was his face not being covered by the mask I thought he had big bubble lips when I was a kid😂😂😂
wait this comment just made me even more confused
Bro wtf u tryna say😭😭
I'm actually more confused now because in the beginning of the video when the mask is floating before his dad puts it on him the big lip things are actually apart of the mask??? So is that just the color of the mask?
Lmao he gets the mask put on in the intro I remember

Bro, the memories that this brings back! Just for this alone, I subbed. Keep it up bro, this is a quality channel
Its crazy how tech it's a sequel to his father's story
In a better timeline,Kevin would have won and we would have gotten the demon seed arc,the best arc
This channel deserves more views for its videos.
I never knew this 4kids dub was actually a good one. I did watch and enjoy it
Fun fact: Kevin mask is play on Kavin Nash.
also loojs the rhe shredder, a role kevin nash played on the TMNT movie
And dmp is clearly inspired from the nWo
I always wondered
Great video, kinda wished you would've glossed over the first original series and maybe even the old little toys. We got them, but no show for years. It was awesome finally seeing where they came from when this aired.
I love pro wrestling+anime and now triple h brought in wrestling's boom period, here's hoping a new ultimate muscle anime
Yeah they’re redoing Kinnikuman again check the new trailer!
Bruh why is the end picture of his dad doing the face flash and not him?
My childhood favourite anime
this was the greatest show of my childhood hands down.
Could have sworn this was a fever dream.
I used to love this show but whichever channel it was that I watched it on stopped broadcasting the show before the end of the story. I used to find Kid Muscle’s obsession with food hilarious. There was also a game I used to play of this where you could fight as all the different characters and it was so much fun being Kid Muscle and using his signature move.

First time I’ve remembered this show in YEARS!
Man I loved this show as a kid 😂
This is very nostalgic for me, I loved this show growing up n plus it was a wrestling show was a huge bonus for me as a wrestling fan
Holy crap this was a blast from the past.
I remember this use to be on Kix tv danm it was amazing.
Kix had amazing Animes.
Alhamdullilah for a decent childhood.
crazy because this series is actually a sequal series to kinnikuman. the story of kid muscle's dad and his rise to the thrown. please go look it up!
The first time I watched this series was on an Italian channel. Didn't understand anything but hey it was interesting
This show was wild, it mananged to create its on wrestling hype, when Kid on the spot created/ innovated his own finisher move had my mind blowing
Great freakin job dude!
The ending in the anime worked fine because the series was ending. The manga wanted to continue the story with Kid Muscle feeling upset about losing to Kevin Mask and having to come to terms with his lost. Also learning to fight on his own instead of relying on a second to coach him. The manga after he gets to mentor someone else.
This brought back memories i didn't know i had.
I actually had the best childhood peak
Ultimate muscle is one of my all time favorite tv shows, this show was so good and so funny that my dad woke up urly every sunday to see it with me i remember how happy me and my father spend time watching this show and having breakfast ❤ together
the italian dub is crazy good
I have not seen this in years since the 4kids days, Tmnt, yugioh, fighting foodons and this was my jam
Ultimate muscle pushed the limits on what’s appropriate in 4kids. I would wanna say the same thing for tmnt, but it backfired and they toned it down in season 2.
Love ultimate muscle as a kid one of my favorite Saturday cartoon do big guy and rusty next ❤
This unlocked a childhood memory 😢
In the jp dub, meat is supposed to be a kid who was frozen in the future, but in the 4kids dub, he’s a dwarf.
Love's this when it came out. Man throw back for real
New series otw via netflix trailer looks amazing
Wow I used to watch this as a kid on Fox Saturday mornings
It's been a very long time.. I forgotten how many years It's been since I remember watching Ultimate Muscle every Saturday morning.. I heard Ultimate Muscle is coming back after so many years.. I feel like it's time to rewatch it again but I wonder was it completely done for it's true ending?
2013 I remember M.U.S.C.L.E on NES in my GBA Multi cart here on my broken NDS Lite.
Like if you’re here because of the prequel coming to Netflix and brushing up on lore!!
Did anybody else just find this after searching for it for years?
Im glad I read the manga back in 2003 before it was even on tv...
Gazelle Man? Is that his actual name? I just remembered him as Dick Dick Van Dick.
I remember Gazelle Man only
The gba game was the bomb! It was so fun 🎉🎉🎉
Ultimate Muscle is what I think of when someone says "stupid fun."
You forgot to mention that this anime is a sequel to Kinnikuman 🤔
New series is coming
I eat a lot of rice and a lot of beef, and every now and then it reminds me of this TV show I remember nothing about but the rice and cow song 😂😂
That wasn't roxeanne, that's was kids mom in the first couple of scenes
Her real name is Rinkp
I somehow remember this after seeing the intro
Absolutely magnificent, thanks for sharing this ❤
I seen this show on KIX and loved it
I'm glad Kid won the final fight
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
Oh man i uses to run from school just to see this show
I still remember back in the day adam from xplay saying "dik dik van dik" while reviewing the game
I member this show, it was great
I'm trying to see how much gore my mind scrubed from my memory after watching the Netflix version
Damn!!!!! This brung hella damn great memories!! Being a damn kid is so much better than being a damn Adult!
I feel like there's a bunch missing from this from when I remember watching it 20 years ago.
Wasn't there a chess man that ended up being more involved?
Forgot about this show.
Hahaha I forgot I watched this ty
Goated show, fighting foodons too
I hate I can’t find this no where I wanna watch it again
so they didn't show destruction beating photo pat?
Hold on, I remember a guy named Eskara that was like a big deal, where was he?
Where can i watch this? Cause its not on crunchyroll 😕
1:16 huh ..? It's *Dik Dik van Dik* 😅 dam the name ?
The cartoon did Kevin dirty he is the real winner
Poison 6 Pack and on is PEAK anime btw you didn’t mention Kids wearing a mask and we don’t know what his true face looks like only that he has brown hair..
Where can I watch the show??? 😭😭😭
He always reminded me of goku 💯💯💯
But niw there's new series going i think of his father's story
With my rice I like to have some cow cow, cow, cow taste so very good. I don't know how how it's my favorite form of chow chow chow ow eat now!
4:24 Introduces Roxanne, put footage of Kintaro's mom...
Kevin actually wins his match against muscle in the manga
The anime ending was a rip. The manga ending should of been what people should of seen.
Where can I watch this
Oh ho oh
The thumbnail is wrong
Did we watch the same anime? Where do you see blood? Let alone in a 4kids dub
I HEARD THE SERIES HAD A SEQUEL THAT WASN'T ANIMATED.
How’d they keep ultimate muscle’s action the same with few censors and totally fuck up one piece to the point Americans hardly cared for it until it was redubbed by funi.
My shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥
is it ever explained why meat never ages when like 20 years if not more have passed since his time mentoring King Muscle whos now a old man
in the manga, meat entered a preservation pod after the events of the original kinnikuman thinking that one day the justice league might need him again and he wants to be on his peak for that
he lost in the manga to kevin which was strange reading
Oh it's just the remake, not the original, I'm starting from the beginning
I have the blue ray it's awesome
4:27 isnt that his mom tho
16:31
anyone know where i can watch this?
CheckMATE gang ^^
