Kinnikuman Second Generation: The Great All Out Chojin Assault is a manga series by Yudetamago. It was an alternate retelling of their series Kinnikuman Nisei.
About
Like Yudetamago's other work, Kinnikuman Nisei (which ran in Weekly Playboy), it is a sequel to their earlier work Kinnikuman (serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1979 to 1987), however the story develops differently than in Kinnikuman Nisei.
Story
D.M.p Arc
(More to Come)
Top Chojin Festival
This is a retelling of the Chojin Olympics: The Resurrection Arc.
In this arc, Ikemen Muscle announces that there will be a "Top Chojin Festival". This sets both Justice Chojin and Evil Chojin against one another, as they determine the most powerful chojin out of all chojin, and a tournament begins that introduces some new characters and reintroduces some old characters.
The preliminary match consists of holding onto monkey bars for as long as possible, which leaves them with eight finalists. Fiona, Okan, Naankeeman, and Tteok lose the first round of the main competition, and this is followed by the losses of Tentacles and Kevin Mask in the semi-finals. In the final match, Mantaro Kinniku wins against The Doomman. This helps turn Doomman into a Justice Chojin.
The manga ends with all former competitors now working together.
Differences from the Playboy Version
- The big Chojin fighting tournament is not the Chojin Olympics but rather the Top Chojin Festival (超人一等祭). Whereas the Chojin Olympics was basically a Justice Chojin Tournament (with the exception of Evil Chojins who sneak in), the Top Chojin Festival mixes both good and evil Chojin to decide who is the "Top" Chojin amongst them
- Female Chojin like Okan and Fiona participate in the fights
- The character Gazelleman appears more frequently and prominently. Particularly, whereas in the Playboy Version he is never shown winning a match, in this story he is shown winning two matches
