Description
Here's a crossover I bet you'd never see.
Kyurio Hyotan (Yasaiman) facing off against Suguru Kinniku (Kinnikuman) for the championship of the Chojin Olympics.
Now that I think about it, Kinnikuman and Dragon Ball have several similarities: Both prominently feature aliens (Saiyans and Namekians for DB and Chojin for KM). They both have power leveling systems (Sentō-ryoku for DB and Chōjin Kyōdo for KM), they both have a genre shift short way through (Journey to the West spoof to sci-fi/fantasy martial arts show for DB and Ultraman spoof to wrestling show for KM), they both feature iconic special attacks (the Kamehameha for DB and the Kinniku Buster for KM) and they both feature bumbling idiot protagonists (Son Goku for DB and Suguru Kinniku for KM) who also have sons (Son Gohan for DB and Mantaro Kinniku for KM).
You know what the main difference is though? Kinnikuman did all of that first. Dragon Ball was first released in 1984, whereas Kinnikuman was first released in 1979.
