Fans of the iconic Kinnikuman franchise have reason to celebrate as a thrilling third season of the anime adaptation, Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc, has been officially announced. This exciting revelation came during the highly anticipated Kinnikuman Chōjin (Superhuman) Festival 2025 on August 3rd, igniting anticipation for more high-octane wrestling action.

This forthcoming season promises to plunge viewers back into the heart of intense battles. It will pit the formidable Seigi/Akuma (Justice/Devil) Allied Forces, spearheaded by fan-favorites Kinnikuman and Buffaloman, against their formidable adversaries, Nemesis and the Perfect Large Numbers. The legendary Tottori Sand Dunes will once again serve as the epic arena for these superhuman clashes.

Adding a delightful touch of nostalgia, the production is set to revive the beloved tradition of new character songs. This cherished element is reminiscent of the original 1983 anime series, where many fighters boasted their own dedicated theme tunes.

A Legacy of Superhuman Action

Its premiere in the "Agaru Anime" programming block underscored its significance, broadcasting this electrifying series from Nagoya to a global audience.

Following this success, the second season aired from January to March 2025, further expanding its international footprint via Netflix.

Spearheaded by the acclaimed Production I.G studio, the series faithfully carries forward the rich legacy of the original Kinnikuman manga.

Spanning back to its origins in 1979 with its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump, the Kinnikuman franchise has evolved into a sprawling universe, encompassing numerous manga sequels and multiple anime adaptations, including the globally recognized Ultimate Muscle series.
