Little panel redraw of this pose from Batgirl #33
[ID: A panel from a batgirl comic. Batgirl is holding onto a pole with one hand and her feet while she leans away. Her other hand is touching her ear while she listens to someone talk over the earpiece radio. The second photo is a pencil/pen and paper redraw of the panel before it.]

Rating 500+ Theme Tunes - #5: Ultimate Muscle
Wrestling and anime is such a beautiful tag team to be seen so rarely. Ultimate Muscle is the localised name for Kinnikuman: Second Generation, which is actually a sequel to the original Kinnukuman. The original never reached the West outside of some weird M.U.S.C.L.E. toys, but this sequel was localised for the FoxBox block, a.k.a 4Kids, as well as airing on Kix and other channels internationally. It follows Kid Muscle and other superhero wrestlers continuing the legacy of their famous parents.
For the number one wrestling fan you know, I actually didn't watch that much Ultimate Muscle. However, that was still a good deal, and was not for a lack of trying. This show aired on Kix over here in the UK, which I would often watch whenever there was nothing on its sister channel Pop. This show's airing schedule there never really lined up for me, and I would often miss it as a result.
At the same time, I thought this show was real cool! I really like the way it looks today, and I always enjoyed the outlandish takes on the world of wrestling! So many of Kid Muscle's moves are super cool to be honest with you. I would absolutely love to watch through this one today, even if some of the humour and tone are not exactly aimed at me. I just love a cool wrestling story!
Looks like there's been enough talk. It's TIME for the THEME SONG RANKING!
Ultimate Muscle Theme Tune
This theme song is absolutely ridiculous. Giant brassy notes, endless rhymes, "Strength and speed and... flatulence?". Absolutely no notes. I think it's super super goofy, but I gotta be honest with you: I love it and it works. Say what you will about it as a dub, but this song fits that dub to a tee as far as I remember. It's a really catchy tune too, I'm always singing it to myself with all the different voices they incorporate, all four of them. Mike Pollock as Meat, you will always be famous. It's a truly wild song, but I think you simply have to love it. You can't make SIX consecutive rhymes without being somewhat beloved.
This one might be controversial, but I actually think this is getting an A! I promise there's some themes I dislike...
Stay tuned for more and be sure to send in any suggestions for other shows you'd like to see done (after the 500 already in the pipeline that is). Check out the intro to this series here, and it's tier list time.

The early/mid 2000s were like “every old franchise you so much as know the title or what the protagonist looks like is going to get a 50-episodes anime revival localized by 4kids and at least one videogame for Game Boy Advance”.
