Reviews:

  • User kinnikukong23 (Score: 10/10):
    Probably the best arc in the kinnikuman series in my opinion. Whats awesome about this series is that it makes the weird or odd looking characters in the tournament look like a threat or give them a reason to fight. The dramatic moments will make your heart heavy and the fight scenes are violent and the attacks performed are so out of this world that it would be impossible to try to pull off in real life. and as silly as this sounds, it seems that this anime does a better job of talking about friendship and teamwork ALOT better than any other 4Kids dubbedanime nbottom line, REALLY good anime.
