TV Special
Description
In the 1984 TV special *Kinnikuman: Kessen! Shichinin no Seigi Chōjin vs. Uchū Nobushi*, Black King stands as the primary antagonist commanding the Space Samurais—alternately called Space Bandits or Uchū Nobushi—as they menace Planet Rakka. Their aggression compels a young resident, Beansman, to rally Kinnikuman and six fellow Justice Choujin for planetary defense.
The special parodies *The Seven Samurai*, casting Black King as the central foe against the assembled protectors. He leads a faction named the Offscourings, backed by key subordinates: Black Sumoman, Black Killer, Black Fighter, Black Knight, Black Kung Fu, and Black Tomahawk. Together, they form the core antagonistic force challenging the Justice Choujin.
Regarding motivations, Black King claims a decisive pivot: once striving to save humans, he abandoned this mission after their rejection and redirected his agenda against nonhumans. He wields demonstrated healing powers during the conflict, though the scope and limits of these abilities remain undefined.
