Muscle Returns

Although this story has had some continuity errors removed in recent reprints, it still does not fit in well with Kinnikuman Nisei canon.

Buki Boy (ブキボーイ)
  • Classification: Zangyaku Chōjin
  • Homeland: Brazil Brazil
  • Trademark Techniques: Buki Thunder Hammer Drop, Bewitching Eyelids, Choking Sleeper
  • First Appearance: Muscle Returns

A very powerful Chōjin who bursts onto the scene and easily takes out Warsman, Terryman, and Buffaloman. He is eventually defeated by Kinnikuman.

Kuan (クァン)

A wild boy chōjin that is friends with Kinnikuman. This character was later reused in Kinnikuman Nisei, still a child, creating a continuity error.

Kevin Mask
  • Classification: Seigi Chōjin
  • Homeland: England United Kingdom
  • First Appearance: Muscle Returns

The son of Robin Mask and later a major character in m.u.s.c.l.e. and c.h.e.e.s.e. seres of toys Kinnikuman Nisei. He appears in the original printing as a child sized duplicate of Robin Mask and refers to Robin as "Tou-san" (父さん, father?), but in the Remix he is changed to look more like he does in Nisei and refers to Robin as "Daddy". His presence in the story is one of its biggest continuity errors, as the story takes place 8 years after the Survivor Match and his starting age in Nisei (18) implies that he has not even been born yet.
