So this in my head was planned to be a complete recreation of the Kinnikuman and Robin Mask faceoff at the Chojin Olympics. I had a plan to format it like it was game screenshot, really make it look like a proper Mock Up almost GBA or DS like… But life did what life does and threw at me some curve balls. So for now I want this to be a taste however small of that, to serve as my “Bye for now” piece. I enjoyed getting the heights a bit more accurate, and establishing in my head anyway that Kinnikuman for me throughout the series goes through at least a couple different trunk colors before landing on the iconic red (And for me his essential color).

So if you can't tell with all that is on display. I'm kind of big Brocken Jr fan. I honestly just love the dude, for all there is to him there potential wise. From him living in his father's shadow, to the point of sharing appearance. To carrying on (At least in my head) the long rivalry with Ramenman that his father had, essentially stepping in his shoes. To being this soul who later in life becomes troubled and a bit aimless. Also I love and I know it's just in the English Dub, but his and Jeagar/Jade's connection of being Father and Son and being one of the few good dads in Kinnikuman. Granted it was a bit late, but still when he finally came along he did well by his boy in his own unique way. So yeah he is just cool to me, like real cool. Looks here are just in my head his first appearance how he looks, then the ones with the blueish whitish skin is him trying to get into Ramenman's head for their fight essentially making Ramenman face the Ghost of his past mistake in a way. The rest are just me finding other looks and even crafting some of my own that I think fit him well.

So unlike Mariposa and Zebra, I actually had no interest in altering Phoenix’s pretransformation look at all. In Fact I didn’t even sprite it. Maybe at some point I will just for completion sake. For me I do think it is cool him actually growing up in a poor area of Planet Kinniku that has some Australian feel to it. I actually in my head find the idea of Planet Kinniku having a few different areas of it having some infusion of other countries' cultures into them as an intriguing idea. Like a German-esque area, a French one, and so on. Not too many though, but just enough to add unique flavor overall to the planet as a whole. With that, enjoy the sprite. Not many left to go.

So just like with Mariposa, with Zebra I wanted to make more human esque appearance prior to his change into one of the coolest looking Kinnikuman Clones around. With that I just looked at a lot of sources came to this basic look, which I am quite fond of. Again this is all my own headcanon adjustment, if you don’t care for it don't worry I'm not actually changing Yudes work outside of my own alterations. Enjoy now Zebra, pre and post transformation, and stay tuned for whats to come.

Oh wow, so I while trying to work on the Face Portraits for my initial Kinniku Redraft works. Completely started on redoing my old Five Fated Princes, and I started with Mariposa. A guy who is a personal favourite of mine looks wise. One thing though I didn't like, and it's just a me thing and I recognise that was him living on space planet. So in my headcanon he was living in Mexico a good chunk in time after his birth. Then later he was sought out by the God of Flight. So I drafted out a personal headcanon look for what this version of him looked like, and then from there all his looks updated in my newer style. I have his red look being the one he rocks when doing the bad he does, and the Purple Looks being when he turns to the side of good and rejects the bad nature that took over him.

So big guy was going to be part of scene recreation, that I never got finished. I repurposed the ring from that for my Mantaro Vs Suguru post. I've always really liked Goriki, and specifically his Anime Colors. I even crafted a little story for him, and designed a whole race for what he is. Will I ever delve into that in some form. Maybe one day. For now just have this sprite, and enjoy the next few posts. Not many more left.

Warsman the Half Robo Half Human Chojin, who was even further Robotized by a evil Russian Program. In my headcanon take he first looks more Robotic even wearing heavy parts to hide his humanity at the request of Mr Barracuda to come off as more intimidating. After the Olympics he stripes himself of all the trappings of that disguise and we get this Manga Inspired coloring to him. That has more human like skin tone to boot.

Brockenman in his Wrestling Gear with and without hat. Also in my headcanon he isn't a Nazi, but a troubled soul who went down a path of Power Seeking and along the way lost his decency and moral compass.
