Kinnikuman Perfect Origin arc season 2 was confirmed on Sunday, September 22, and is expected to air in January 2025. This first season had 11 episodes starting in July, with Suguru coming back from his duties as king of Planet Kinniku to aid his friends against the Perfect Chojin, known as the Perfect Large Numbers.

Moreover, it has been theorized that this Production I.G. anime could have several seasons since the Kinnikuman Perfect Origin arc had a total of 208 chapters in the manga. Therefore, there is a lot of material to adapt. The series continues after the 2011 storyline, which signaled the revival of Suguru and his friends in the modern era.

The original manga ran from 1979 to 1987, becoming one of the first prominent battle shonen in the medium. The Kinnikuman Perfect Origin arc serves as the comeback of the main cast in 2011. This manga picks up where the original left off and establishes new adventures for Kinnikuman and his friends, to the point that the series is still ongoing.

While Suguru is enjoying his new role as the king of Kinniku Planet, a new group of Perfect Chojin, the Perfect Large Numbers, shows up on Earth. Only Terryman and Geronimo are available to defend the planet. This leads to Suguru's return to the fold and also the revival of several old allies and foes, leading to one of the most memorable arcs in the entire franchise.
