Ultimate Muscle is the English dubbed version of the Kinnikuman Nisei anime. The latter series was commissioned by 4Kids and was created for a primarily American audience, which took creative liberties with the plot and made some changes due to necessary censorship. This series did badly in Japan, but was very popular in the West.

The English version of Kinnikuman Nisei is mostly identical to the Kinnikuman Nisei version. The names have been changed to match those from the anime dub, and there are some minor instances of censorship early on, but otherwise it remain a rather accurate translation.

Kinnikuman Nisei: Ultimate Muscle[]
In Japan, the Kinnikuman Nisei anime did poorly and was cancelled after the Poison Six Pack Arc. However, 4Kids Entertainment wished to finish the Chojin Crown arc, so they ordered new episodes which were first aired in America and then in Japan two years later. In Japan, the new episodes were aired as two new seasons entitled Kinnikuman Nisei: Ultimate Muscle and Kinnikuman Nisei: Ultimate Muscle 2.
