Real Life “Kinniku (Muscle) Buster”
on November 10, 2009 at 12:10 AM
Kinniku (Muscle) Man is without doubt the most popular wrestling comics in Japan. This comic series was published in the reputable Weekly Shonen Jump from 1, and it’s sequel, Kinniku Man Nisei, is currently appearing on Japan’s Weekly Playboy. Kinniku Man is a parody, action, and drama all condensed in a form of wrestling. However, what I remember most about this comic is the awesome wrestling moves especially Kinniku Man‘s trademark action, the “Kinniku Buster!”
Kinniku Buster is Kinniku Man‘s most popular attack and one of the 48 Killer Moves. It was first used during the fight with Warsman. He places an opponent’s neck on his shoulder and grabs their thighs. He then jumps up and lands in a sit-out position, causing damage to the neck, spine, and groin.
Kinniku Buster is not a comical move anymore. There are wrestlers performing this very move on the ring.
