Go To

The Seven Devil Choujin Arc is a story arc in the Manga/Kinnikuman series. Its length in the manga is chapters 122-159.

Summary

Having won the Choujin Olympics twice in a row, Kinnikuman is feeling pretty good. However, his fun soon ends when an ancient evil emerges- Seven Choujin so evil that they would kill their opponents. They tear Meat into pieces, and challenge Kin to defeat them to retake the stolen limbs, and if Kinnikuman can't do it within 10 days, Meat will die!

Tropes

  • Big Bad: Buffaloman.
  • Big Damn Heroes: When Brocken Jr. is about to be killed by Mr. Khamen, a mysterious Choujin appears to save him.
  • Charlie Brown from Outta Town: Mongolman, who knows martial arts, and has a head shaped like a certain guy who was rendered comatose in the Olympics...
  • Cerebus Syndrome: Kicks in about here.
  • Race Against the Clock: It's not enough to beat the Seven Devils and win back Meat's body, Kin has to do it before the time limit is up, which is a problem since this gives Kin no time to heal between the matches.
  • Worf Effect:
    • Wolfman, who was first touted as a rival of Kinnikuman, is torn apart by Springman.
    • Warsman, who nearly beat Kin in the last arc, is crushed by Stecase King and then Buffaloman to show off their abilities.
