Both shows focus on masculine heroes who each have respect for wildlife and nature. Toriko's anime consists of adventure and battles utilizing creative super powers. Jungle King Tar-chan contains perverted humor but displays an immense variety to its story such as: ki-using martial artists, cyborgs, wrestlers, and even vampires. There is also a "savage" undertone found within the personalities of Toriko and Tar-chan when they are fighting. Between the two, Jungle King Tar-chan is the anime with the better story specifically from episode 31 onward.

Both series feature story arcs involving heroic men, martial artists and vampires. Jungle King Tar-chan debuts as a Tarzan parody but quickly turns into a battle shonen which include tournament arcs that contain both martial arts and wrestling. It's not until episodes 31-40 where it heads to the vampire arc, but the earlier episodes are still entertaining and filled with manliness! JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is more over-the-top in content, yet shares the same masculine spirit as Tar-chan and other shonen series of the 1980's. While they may seem cheesy at first glance, both series eventually offer more depth towards the ending of their story arcs.

These battle shonen blend martial arts and wrestling allowing for outrageous yet manly fights.

Both series begin with comedy arcs which quickly change into a battle series. The heroes Kinnikuman and Tar-chan often flip-flop between comedic and serious personalities but remain entertaining. Kinnikuman focuses on superheroes wrestling against robots, aliens and demons. Jungle King Tar-chan includes martial arts, wrestling, ki attacks and vampires. Lastly, both series have an emphasis on 1980's Shonen Jump tropes such as masculinity and a courageous fighting spirit.

These anime contain a huge blend of genres and creativity as they demonstrate perverted humor, martial artists using ki-energy, tournaments and a hero from the wilderness. Other interesting traits in Jungle King Tar-chan include the usage of vampires, wrestlers and story arcs that dissects morality between men and inhuman beings.

The main aspect these shows have in common are manly heroes fighting against their brothers in brutal combat. (Jungle King Tar-chan episodes 18-30/Fist of The North Star episodes 30-49 & 98-109). Aside from the earlier statement, Jungle King Tar-chan has more options in its story due to appearances of tournament arcs, vampires and wrestlers. Fist of The North Star primarily centers it story around a messiah-like hero and his journey to protect the populace from evil tyrants. Surprisingly, these anime deliver well written stories that explores the evils of men and gradually become more complex than their initial beginnings.

Sort of superpowers, strange humor and MC in Bio Ningen is somewhat close to Anabebe (or whatever his name is, I'm not sure it's possible to spell it correctly anyway).
