Synopsis
Continues the story of Kinnikuman: Gyakushuu! Uchuu Kakure Choujin
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.
In this installment
While a film is being produced at Toei Eigamura, Kinnikuman suddenly vanishes and ends up in feudal Edo Japan. There, the evil Shuten Douji demands that Princess Mari be handed over to him, threatening to destroy the world otherwise. Driven by a desire to impress a woman, Kinnikuman vows to defeat Shuten Douji. He disguises himself as Princess Mari to face the villain, but Shuten Douji and his Big Four see through the ruse and brutally punish him. Learning of Kinnikuman's plight, Terryman, Robin Mask, and the rest of the Seigi Choujins travel to Edo Japan with the aid of Kinkotsu-obaba's magic to help him.
