Talk:Kinnikuman

Anime-Only storylines
There was a section that had some details on the anime-only characters and storylines that was somewhat incomplete. What happened to it? TheOrgg

M.U.S.C.L.E. (toys)
How difficult would it be to make the M.U.S.C.L.E. article into a summary of the toyline, much like the Monsters in my Pocket article? The toyline itself has a very deep and interesting history, and is currently still making history in the collecting circles. TheOrgg

Well, now that there is an article on M.U.S.C.L.E. entitled "M.U.S.C.L.E. Men," someone is trying to get it merged with this article. Why? The imported and storylineless toyline from the US is distinct from the whole 'Kinnikuman' universe. While I do beleive there should be a link referrencing Kinnikuman on the M.U.S.C.L.E. page, they should remain separate. I say this as a die hard collector in the M.U.S.C.L.E. collecting community. TheOrgg

Merged
This has been merged with the M.U.S.C.L.E. article. WhisperToMe 01:53, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Seperate Page for Characters
The Characters' entries are getting too long. Japanese wikipedia has already created a seperate entry for Kinnikuman characters and we should do the same. Evan1975 06:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Size
140 kb?!?!? This article really needs to be shortened...-- ☆ TBC ☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 15:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah...63 pages is perhaps a little too complete...Let's think about moving all the titles and wins/losses stuff onto individual character pages, and maybe taking out the seiyuu lists in the movie section. Those feel like they go on forever. Gladrius 19:58, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Survivor Series Characters
I propose that when doing personal pages for the Princes of Fate, that rather than giving individual pages to their teammtes, who are pretty minor, we think about giving a section in each Prince's page to giving the biographies of their teammtes who don't already have them (like Brocken Jr., Buffaloman and Ashuraman). I've already started laying that out in Super Phoenix's page.Gladrius 15:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

That's a good idea except for Super Phoenix's team. Each member played a vital role to the story arc and deserve their own pages.(Seigi Choujin 23:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC))

MUSCLEmen
MUSCLEmen should be merged with kinkeshi, not Kinnikuman.Seigi Choujin 16:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right it should be, that's like making an article for a German translated version of Bleach. –  「ジャンプ グル」 @ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 23:42, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Characters
I have created a seperate page for the characters and moved the info there.Seigi Choujin 05:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Move List
Perhaps this should only be the more famous moves like the Kinnikubuster, and others that are identified primarily with the anime and manga? The moves are on the Profile pages of each Chojin already, so it seems a bit... extranious.

I was already planning to do a seperate page for the moves like the Japanese Wiki has.Seigi Choujin 14:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe the Kinnikuman wiki is a valid link. Also, about deleted triva...
The Kinnikuman wiki seems to have a lot of information, over 600 pages about the subject, and thus I believe it to be a valid link. The link to it was deleted without explanation.

How big is the Japanese Anniversary Society? Does it declare national holidays? If so, then certainly they declaring a holiday to this series is an important bit of information to keep. Also, the fact that professional wrestlers in real life began using moves from the series, I believe an important fact to include in the article, to show just how popular it was. Some of the deleted Trivia section I believe should be reimplemented into the main article. Dream Focus (talk) 17:37, 23 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The Kinnikuman wiki completely fails WP:EL. We don't link to fansites. The trivia section was completely unsourced and has been for far too long. If any of it is actually true, verify it with reliable sources, then being readded can be discussed. Otherwise, it doesn't belong here. --  AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 19:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

"mixed reviews from critics"
In the last opening paragraph it states the series has mixed reviews from critics, but the Reception section fails to mention any. So was it mixed or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.151.173.219 (talk) 06:22, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey,, the opening paragraphs are a synthesis of the rest of the article. If you read the four mentioned reviews, I think you'll agree it was a mixed reception. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 06:38, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Manga circulation
Does someone know if the 77M copies in circulation are for the main run (the 74 volumes), or the series as a hole. Cracker-Kun (talk) 22:25, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
