Unveiling the “Devil Shogun-shaped Guinomi Oni-dashi no Kama”: A Must-Have for Kinnikuman Fans!
Precision casting manufacturer CASTEM has unveiled an exciting new product: a “Devil Shogun-shaped Guinomi (made of tin),” which is a clever and meticulous productization of the legendary “Oni-dashi no Kama” from the iconic manga, Kinnikuman, reimagined as an exquisite sake cup. This unique item is set to become available for purchase from 10:00 AM on August 29, 2025 – a date significantly celebrated as the only “Kinnikuman Day” of the year – at various outlets including the “CASTEM Rakuten Ichiba Store” and “meta mate Seihin Seikatsu Nihonbashi Store”.
The Enduring Legacy of Kinnikuman
Kinnikuman, the legendary fighting manga, first graced the pages of “Weekly Shonen Jump” in 1979, brought to life by the creative duo Yudetamago, comprised of scenario writer Shimada Takashi and artist Nakai Yoshinori. The captivating narrative centers on Kinnikuman, a seemingly clumsy, somewhat foolish, and initially underperforming choujin from Kinniku-Sei. Through unwavering effort, profound friendship, and hard-fought victories, he embarks on an incredible journey to transform into the strongest man in the entire choujin fighting world.
The series continues its serialization today, having moved to “Weekly Playboy” and “Weekly Play News,” boasting an impressive cumulative circulation of over 77 million copies. The anime adaptation, which began broadcasting in 1983, sparked a massive craze for “Kinkeshi” (Kinnikuman erasers), a beloved series that has sold over 180 million units, cementing its place in pop culture history.
Exciting Anime Developments: Kinnikuman Perfect Choujin Shiso-hen Season 3 on the Horizon!
Fans of the anime have been thrilled with the recent developments. The new series, Kinnikuman Perfect Choujin Shiso-hen, captivated audiences with Season 1 airing from July to September 2024, followed by Season 2 from January to March 2025. This adaptation faithfully depicts the highly acclaimed “Perfect Choujin Shiso-hen” arc, which is a direct continuation of the previously animated “Kinniku-Sei Ooi Soudatsu-hen” (Kinniku-Sei Throne Contest Arc) and is widely regarded as one of the most popular and pivotal arcs in the original manga. Adding to the excitement, the production of Season 3 has also been officially greenlit, promising to illustrate the thrilling aftermath of the colossal battle between Kinnikuman, Buffalo Man, and the allied Justice and Devil Choujin forces against Nemesis and the Perfect Anarchy Choujin forces at the iconic special ring in the Tottori Sand Dunes.
The Mystical “Oni-dashi no Kama” Comes to Life
This “Devil Shogun-shaped Guinomi (made of tin)” directly brings to life the “Oni-dashi no Kama” that prominently featured in volumes 23 and 24 of the Kinnikuman manga. For those unfamiliar, the “Oni-dashi no Kama” is an ancient and formidable “lie detector” steeped in the lore of the Devil Choujin world. It was traditionally employed when an individual was suspected of harboring intentions of rebellion or treason against the Devil Choujin hierarchy. Suspects would be compelled to place their hands upon this mystical cauldron; if their heart was pure and their words true, nothing would occur. However, if deceit lay within them, the cauldron would inflict painful burns as a harsh judgment.
Experience Sake Like Never Before with Tin’s Unique Qualities
Sake cups crafted from tin are highly prized for their exceptional thermal conductivity, a quality that allows sake to warm up quickly when served kan (hot sake) and keeps chilled sake refreshingly cool, enhancing its crispness. Furthermore, tin is widely believed to make sake smoother and even elevate its overall quality and flavor profile. This particular guinomi, meticulously crafted from 100% pure tin, exudes a substantial and luxurious feel, weighing in at approximately 250g, promising a truly premium drinking experience.
A Perfect Companion for Your Evening Indulgence
For dedicated fans of Kinnikuman, this exquisite guinomi is undoubtedly poised to become a cherished companion for their daily evening drinks. Just a friendly word of caution: when enjoying your sake, perhaps try to keep any secrets or falsehoods to yourself, lest the spirit of the “Oni-dashi no Kama” somehow exposes them!
