Happy Kinnikuman Day!!!!

🍜🎊🐽🎊🍜

Have a bit of Kinnikuman and Meat, in their Anime Colors, Manga Colors, and Manga BW looks. Also a Kinnikuman W.I.P. Face set. (All upscaled by 200 for the eyes to better see) Heres to 45 years!!

Hopefully I'll have something even bigger and better for the next one.

I'm already on episode two of the original Kinnikuman anime and holy shit-

I gradually underestimated how crazy things were going to get, and not to mention Suguru is basically my spirit animal, so, I see this entirely as a win. So far 20/10!

Hey wait a second! This is just the plot for Megaman X2!

Rating 500+ Theme Tunes - #5: Ultimate Muscle

Wrestling and anime is such a beautiful tag team to be seen so rarely. Ultimate Muscle is the localised name for Kinnikuman: Second Generation, which is actually a sequel to the original Kinnukuman. The original never reached the West outside of some weird M.U.S.C.L.E. toys, but this sequel was localised for the FoxBox block, a.k.a 4Kids, as well as airing on Kix and other channels internationally. It follows Kid Muscle and other superhero wrestlers continuing the legacy of their famous parents.

For the number one wrestling fan you know, I actually didn't watch that much Ultimate Muscle. However, that was still a good deal, and was not for a lack of trying. This show aired on Kix over here in the UK, which I would often watch whenever there was nothing on its sister channel Pop. This show's airing schedule there never really lined up for me, and I would often miss it as a result.

At the same time, I thought this show was real cool! I really like the way it looks today, and I always enjoyed the outlandish takes on the world of wrestling! So many of Kid Muscle's moves are super cool to be honest with you. I would absolutely love to watch through this one today, even if some of the humour and tone are not exactly aimed at me. I just love a cool wrestling story!

Looks like there's been enough talk. It's TIME for the THEME SONG RANKING!

Ultimate Muscle Theme Tune

This theme song is absolutely ridiculous. Giant brassy notes, endless rhymes, "Strength and speed and... flatulence?". Absolutely no notes. I think it's super super goofy, but I gotta be honest with you: I love it and it works. Say what you will about it as a dub, but this song fits that dub to a tee as far as I remember. It's a really catchy tune too, I'm always singing it to myself with all the different voices they incorporate, all four of them. Mike Pollock as Meat, you will always be famous. It's a truly wild song, but I think you simply have to love it. You can't make SIX consecutive rhymes without being somewhat beloved.

This one might be controversial, but I actually think this is getting an A! I promise there's some themes I dislike...

Stay tuned for more and be sure to send in any suggestions for other shows you'd like to see done (after the 500 already in the pipeline that is). Check out the intro to this series here, and it's tier list time.

Perfect Origin Arc out here making me completely revamp my old Kinnikuman OC hahaaa~

Kokomi Tenshine, aka the Misplaced Magical Girl! Actually don't call her that, she'll get mad-

One of the special chosen few whose hearts have been awakened by the cries of the people, and as such, is in training to be a fully fledged Magical Girl!

...oh wait what? Japan's already being protected by some Chojin guy? She's not needed? She's- she's good? ...BUT THAT'S HER JOB?!?

A frustrated and stubborn young girl who take pleasure in torturing Suguru for stealing her job and rendering her useless. She usually shows up in Beverly Park, demanding he pay her "fines" so she can keep living her life without fulfilling her duties.

It's hard to ignore her, especially when her equally as useless mentor Fae-chan is in tow.

In truth, she doesn't actually hate him at all- it's thanks to him she can live her life like a semi-normal-preteen girl! She shows up to his fights plenty of times, claiming to want to see him fail, but is truthfully rooting for him; this is the guy who's stepping up for her! She has to make sure he looks good!

She ends up becoming one of the Chojin's allies, as her powers are helpful. Especially when so many of them end up nearly dying and you've got a girl who's an ace at healing. Neither she nor Fae-chan were expecting her to become a professional necromancer instead of a Magical Girl, but, that's okay.

These guys are the only real friends she has, at the end of the day. Like a group of weird older brothers...

Gets into lots of petty fights with Meat about almost everything. Very interested in everyone's love lives. Likes gossiping and usually needs to be bribed into not blabbing things she knows to others.

It's time!

December Box is bringin' a spirit of some sort. Odds are it ain't the holiday kind, but we'll see what I can squeeze out of it.

For instance, the festive colors on those Kong Hong bugs. The red is more of a pink, but it's a fresh sculpt for me. The roaches are always fun, as is the gator jiggler. That styracosaurus deserves special mention for his striking color scheme.

Okay, I thought I had all the "Power Belts" sculpts, and BAM, they throw a spider at me. That's cool. Either skeleton is a robe away from playing the Ghost of Christmas Future in a small-town production.

The meat of this one, really, is The Faces. Breaking their previous record of two, I'm particularly enamored with what's either Smeagol or an early hominid on the right there. Tiki Heads pose an issue, as my twin pillars have already hit the top of the shelf. Time to start the next level! The Kin-knockoff-man figures are fun as always: Kinnikuman himself, and one-shot movie villain The Black King. I guess it's down to Gokey here. I guess he could be the donkey in a ridiculous nativity scene?

Pranks, folded in with Arts because they would've looked lonely by themselves: a Shoe Squeaker that has far better applications- a doorstop, a toilet seat, the back of a drawer- and another Finger. The hologram Troll sticker is so 90s it hurts, but in a good way. Another Monster is joined by a bicolored Cousin Itt, but the 3/4 rubber skeleton skull is honestly super cool in black resin. Incidentally, this is the box that officially filled The Rack.

About a third of the slots. Congratulations, Zac! 30 Internet Points for you!

Kinko Revamp Process

Wanted to try something slightly different with this post, call it a little behind the scenes process.

As you all know, I am Ramenking…

I make pixels, and I have done for a good long while, and today to lead up to my next Blurry Boy post, I want to show you a little bit of what my process has been for these revamps. Let's start with Kinko, as he is the first to have been revealed.

So when it comes to Kinkotsuman, out of the whole group I did. He is a character I mainly like for the uniqueness of his look, and the specific body type on him. As a character he is abit of a… Iffy guy for me. Just I'm not the biggest fan of trash Dad’s, like Kinko just falls right into that category full stop guys. Poor Bone Cold. 😔

All that said when approaching him it was quite an interesting task, as he is actually one of only 8 characters from the Kinnikuman franchise I've been spriting since I started in this little pixel square field. I did start other characters but they always were forever WIP stuff. All of those works though are long gone, probably on an old laptop somewhere in a storage room. That said, I at least have Kinko here looking nice and rough.

This period of spriting for myself wasn't the best one looking back on it. Majority of my work was more akin to sloppy edits and recolours trying to fit into a style I had little to no skill at all in. That being said it was still fun to actually make pixels for the first time, so it drove me to further dabble.

That nicely leads us to 2011 Kinko next to 2011 Kinnikuman…

Kinkotsuman and others get a face lift, or just get made for the first time in some cases. What's a bit neat about the Kinkotsuman Pixel of 2011, this sprite was initially a revamp made by an old forum buddy of mine (with heavy tweaks after made by myself). I had a mighty struggle with his head, my brain just couldn't get it and his could, the hair as well I kept having a problem with and Poof all of these issues were non existent, to him. What I really liked about this Kinko compared to the 2009 attempt was the body type actually got closer to what I envisioned. (Still a bit too tall though, and wide to a degree though)

See I've never been a massive fan of slightly buff Kinko as a norm. Not saying it couldn't make for an interesting growth of the character body wise throughout the series. Just in my head, he is Skull and Bones guy, and that type of person shouldn't have to much meat on his bones. All that said I do enjoy me a good character evolution over time chart. Might do one for all the Kinniku Characters like I did this quick mock up of Kinnikuman one day.

Onto now… When I approached Kinko this time, I wanted to try and strike a balance between the newer look Yude does for him, his first appearance look, and the anime look.

So I had examples of all three works as I went to it. I took the 2011 sprite and stripped off the colors and from there I readjusted placements of black lines inside the framework, and trimmed the framework down where I saw fit aswell. Then I laid back in some of the flat Colors across it all when I was happy with my framework. Then came the first run of shades. I take a look, see how I feel, then I will make adjustments where I see fit in different ways, just to get across the “Feel of the Character” that I want to achieve with this sprite.

Aside - |{When I say “Feel of the Character”, I am meaning I want whatever I do, however complex or simplistic it is with my pixels. I want someone to look at that, and the drawn character and be like “Oh yeah, I see it. That's them.” Like I'm not after getting every detail 100% perfect, really if you are working in pixels as small as I am. You flat out can't be. But what I want to do, is get that feel of them across as best as I can. Sometimes that means sacrificing certain elements (You will see that in some sprites to come), other times it means really emphasizing sometimes a single aspect of the sprite. It's a fun little challenge every time, sprite by sprite I have to play with. By no means though am I a master at this pixel thing, nor do I want to disparage others who have a different approach. This is just how I prefer to do it.}|

Next once I got the sprite down, I threw up my faceset. Used my WIP Kinnikuman as a base to make edits to find Kinko in the pixels. I chipped away, and remolded bit by bit until. Poof. I got my faceset I was happy with. (Which I was so happy with, it made me not too happy with the sprite so I actually later went back and made yet a last adjustment after the initial posting. Whoops!)

With all that done, I quickly did up a little I'll call it a “Pixel Showcase”. Gathered some old GameBoy text assets for the lettering, and just free handed some shapes and lines to put Kinko and his Face on display for you all. As the last “Showcase” background I realized was a bit busy for the eyes, and you kind of can't appreciate the sprites on display in it. I still very much like it though, so maybe I'll do something with it later on.

And that is all peeples. My behind the scenes Esque thing, to somewhat build interest for the next Blur Boy coming. (Which will come hopefully soon, if work doesn't beat me down too much before) Hope you all enjoyed this, if it's liked enough I might try doing more in the future as it's nice to almost get my process down for all to understand the approach from sprite to sprite, and for my own benefit as well as most of these ideas and practices aren't written but just in my head.

Until the next Blurry Boy post, I gotta rest my fingers now. Seeyah…

Ramen Out!
