Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy, known in Japan as Kinnikuman II sei, is a manga and anime series made by Yoshinori Nakai and Takashi Shimada under the pen name Yudetamago. It is the sequel to the hit manga Kinnikuman that they started in 1979. The toy line of Kinnikuman was released in North America as M.U.S.C.L.E.. Konami Yoshida and Masaya Onosaka lead a cast with the timing to make it work. The series ran for 3 seasons (2002–2006), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Ultimate Muscle: The Kinnikuman Legacy holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.
