Kinnikuman: Gyakushuu! Uchuu Kakure Choujin

Synopsis

Continues the story of Kinnikuman: Seigi Choujin vs. Kodai Choujin

During a trip to Easter Island with Mari-san's kindergarten group, the young boy Kouichi-kun, who uses a wheelchair, voices his annoyance at being stuck with Kinnikuman—whom he considers a fool—and longs to be with his favorite Seigi Choujin, Buffaloman, instead. At the same time, the rest of the Seigi Choujins are spending their holidays sightseeing at various historic landmarks across the globe.

In this installment

While people around the world watch the Choujin Rugby match on TV, the "Underground Space Emperor" Hydra King commands his Underground Space Supermen to seize Robin Mask. His scheme involves using Robin Mask as bait to lure the Seigi Choujins, then capitalizing on their weaknesses using the Robin Memo, which contains information on every Seigi Choujin's vulnerabilities. After seeing this broadcast, Kinnikuman and the other Seigi Choujins assemble and depart for Planet Hydra.
