Ultimate Muscle
In the United States, the sequel to "Kinnikuman", "Kinnikuman NiSei" was translated by 4Kids Entertainment in 2002 and aired from 2002-2004 on Saturday mornings. It was re-aired in 2006 as summer filler. In 2003, Bandai America launched a new Kinkeshi series extension exclusively for the North American market. "Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy", the American dubbed version of "Kinnikuman Second Generations", is actually more successful overseas than in Japan. It enjoys a dedicated following in the 14-30 year age group. Figures, both 6.5" articulated and 1.5" M.U.S.C.L.E.-sized, based on the "Ultimate Muscle" storyline were released sporadically in 2003, as well as a collectible card game entitled "Ultimate Muscle Battle Card Game".
