2* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': Karane does the Kinniku Buster on Rentarou at one point.
3* Tokoro Tennosuke/[[DubNameChange Jelly Jiggler]] in ''Manga/BoboboBoBoBobo'' is an obvious parody of Sunshine as a square-bodied former villain with a "Magnum" attack that involves an ally punching pieces of him out of his body as projectiles.
4* Mako from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' performs the Kinniku Buster on her little brother in the first episode.
5* Killer Bee and the Raikage in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' use a double lariat not unlike the Cross Bomber as a CombinationAttack.
6* ''Manga/TimeStopHero'': In Chapter 34, Kuzuno Sekai uses the Kinniku Buster on Leafa Colby.

15* The series was an inspiration for the ''[[FanficRecs/TouhouProject Tag Dream]]'' comic. That's right, Kinnikuman gets multiple shoutouts from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fandom, of all things.

17[[AC: VideoGames]]
18* The character Brocken from ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes'' was largely inspired by Brocken Jr., even down to having the same name.
19* King from the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' series uses a Kinniku Buster-esque move as part of his moveset. In King's ''Tekken 5'' ending, he and Craig Marduk perform a Muscle Docking.
20* Jack Cayman will preform a Kinniku Buster as his anti air grab in ''VideoGame/MadWorld'', with the exception that he lands on his feet instead of his rear.
21* In ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'', the Ultra Combos of the character El Fuerte are definitely Kinnikuman references. One of them, the Ultra Spark, is a modified Incomplete Muscle Spark, and the Flying Giga Buster resembles Big Body's Maple Leaf Clutch.
22** Even Zangief gets in on the action with his second Ultra, Siberian Blizzard. It's a [[SpinningPiledriver spinning Kinniku Driver]].
23* Clark Still from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''. Depending on the game, his Ultra Argentine Back Breaker will end with a "Clark Spark" or a "Clark Special," mimicking the Muscle Spark and the Robin Special, respectively.
