#100 Bang Bang Jin

Blunt force fighter

An interesting combination of a humanoid and nature with one side of his body being actual wood and an acorn style helmet. Most fans of his figure from the Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E. toy line don’t never knew his name but Bang Bang Jin is originally from the expansive Kinnikuman universe produced over years and still today by the creative team duo known as Yudetamago of Japan.

A minor character among the hundreds of unique characters in the original story arcs his part in the series is more of a supporting background role filling in the focused opponent roster rather than as a central figure. Heavy hitting and focused on direct confrontation instead of technical prowess his fighting style revolves around his raw power and straight forward offense.

Leaning into blunt force impact-based attacks as his primary style fitting to his rugged heavy-hitting presence. Displaying some signature moves including the Ground Breaker Slam, Double Hammer Smash, and the Bang Impact body checking contenders brutally instead of dodging their advance.

In the nostalgic imaginations of the fans from the North American market his likeness often served exactly as intended even if his identity was lost in translation. Functioning as a bruiser style antagonist fighter who lacked character depth but provided an additional visually distinct persona to battles from the playground to the living room.
