Prince Kinnikuman, who came to Earth from Kinnikusei, a planet at the edge of the universe, was always mocked by people as a useless Chojin. However, by chance, he was granted the right to participate in the Chojin World Championship, a tournament to determine the best Chojin in the world, and miraculously won the championship. In the following year, he even won it again!
Since then, he has become a central figure among the Seigi Chojin, who protect the peace of the universe. He has succeeded in defeating the raging forces of the enemy, including Akuma Chojin, who wants to dominate the world, and Perfect Chojin, who wants to wipe out the weak Chojin on Earth, with the power of friendship with his friends, including Terryman and Robin Mask.
In recognition of his achievements, Kinnikuman wins the "Survival Match for the Kinnikusei Throne," the final test of his career, and is crowned the 58th Grand King of Kinnikusei! Grand King of Kinnikusei! He returned to his home planet from Earth, got married, and retired after eight years of fighting. About a year and a half later, peace was supposed to reign throughout the universe…
