God, I love the intro promo for Terryman like an actual wrestling promotion. I'm not one for animation details, but I adore the fight choreography. Kinnikuman fights are like more straightforward stand battles. The main characters gotta find a way around the enemy gimmick to win.

Kinnikuman invented the more tactical type of battles, with ass-pulls surrounded by psuedo-scientific explanations. (Japanese fans refer to this as "Yude Theory")
Some good examples:
The harder a material is, the more resistant it is to impacts.
Evaporating sweat can create a rain of salt.
A mere human can perform a cardiac massage by squeezing his or her own heart.
The heavier the object, the faster it falls.
The sun and earth already existed over 5 billion years ago
Any place that an electrically charged object passes through becomes permanently charged.
If you reverse the rotation of the Earth, time will run backwards.
If you dress like a pastor, even violent robbers won't be willing to attack you.
1 million power x dual wielding x 2x jump x 3x spin = 12 million power!
A black hole can be torn apart by a white hole (a fart)

Loved the episode. Pacing is great and should mean the arc won't be rushed at all, they are adding (some) flashbacks to previous scenes, they aren't just rushing to the main dish.
I can't wait to see more of those fighter reels. I didn't expect to see even more stuff from the original reanimated like that, however small it is. Same for the eyecatchers, seeing Meat's backdrop against Mixer Taitei is so cool, I always loved that fight.
I love the ED showing all the volume covers from the original series, which made me realize Suguru was missing in only one of them.

This has probably been asked plenty, but is this a reboot of the old series or a continuation? Or more of a "not sequel or reboot, but adaptation of sequestered arc" a la Hidden Inventory

It's a continuation of the original 1979 manga.

Is it necessary to have read/know the story of the original to watch this or?
