| When the Kinnikuman revival series started back in 2011 it had its own series page, but later it's been merged with the original series. A mod gave the reasoning that since the revival series continued the original series' volume numbering (v.38 onward), two series pages were not needed. Me and some people that posted their opinions in the Kinnikuman forum, agree that the revival series should have its own series page because the chapter numbering was reset to chapter 1. My problem with this is that there is no consistency with the mod's reasoning. If you follow that reasoning then Jojo's Bizarre Adventure parts 1-5 should be on one series page because the volume numbering is v.1-63, and the chapter numbering was not reset at the start of a new part. It kept going from chapter 1-594. If each Jojo part from 1-5 has its own page when the chapter numbering was not reset to 1, then why don't we have a separate series page for the Kinnikuman revival series when the chapter numbering was reset back to chapter 1? |
| +1 was planning on making a thread for this eventually, but yeah I don't know why this still hasn't been addressed after several years It also changed serializations, going from Weekly Shounen Jump to Play News as a webcomic on Playboy's news site, making the demographic changed to Seinen. There are already examples of manga series been given separate entries after restarting such as Hi no Tori (1967) or Rozen Maiden (2008). Here is also a repost of my previous argument from a year ago From what I've read of the recent chapters there's no way this can be considered a direct continuation. Characters from Nisei appear in it, making the reader need to have prior knowledge from that series. If you're reading these solely from Kinnikuman's chapters you would definitely be confused. If it's the relations with the manga you're having trouble with then just count both Nisei and 2011 as the sequels. |

Goobatron said: I like Kinnikuman being 1 entry, it makes more sense to me, but i guess not everyone feels that way? You can't mark Kinnikuman as finished because it's still publishing, and I can't even read the current chapters because only about two of them have been scanlated. It's more frustrating how it has a definite end, yet it's just stuck in limbo because there's no interest in the series anymore. |

Well it just makes sense that you can't mark it as completed if it's ongoing. And plenty of series continues even if it has a "definite end", like Dragon Ball. Also Kinnikuman has been scanned up to volume 44, just gotta look harder. Mangaupdates never showed that Hercules Factory was doing a translation, and it doesn't seem to be hosted on other sites besides the direct download from their tumblr, so I assumed there weren't any further scans. Regardless, it does end, which is why two sequels were already made by Yudetamago prior to the revival of Kinnikuman. Already continuing the story, which is something Dragon Ball did not do, apart from the modern one-shot prequel Dragon Ball minus, which is contained with Galactic Patrol Jaco and not with the main manga. |

Goobatron said: It did end but it also started again. Every source i can find has it as one series. I Just don't understand why you'd want it unnaturally split up, same for the PokeSpe thread. I've already told you why, demographic & serialization change plus continuity issues, arguing with you is pointless. |

| This still needs a mod to review this suggestion, as when it was denied last time these new facts weren't taken into consideration. |
|
| Can a manga even be re-started again? If a series officially ends and then gets a sequel years later, shouldn't that always count as a different series? The only other manga that I know, which had something similar happen to it, is Otokozaka, but that manga was never finished, it was more on hiatus for decades (the last page even says "unfinished" instead of "the end". |
