Aren't Black Holes literally the strongest things in the universe?
Yes, pretty sure non anime stuff has made it clear too.

Though in this case Black Hole is more a demon alien who worships Satan and has a big hole on his face that can turn into a vortex, get people inside and send them to another dimension, not an actual black hole.

Edit: OK I see what you mean.

I think I need to get into this series.It looks like the stupidest shit in the best way.
Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc, it's on Netflix and you can start with it, it's a wild ride. Based off a continuation manga of a series from the 80's that predated Dragonball and was contemporary with Fist of the North Star. Started out as an Ultraman parody funny enough.

Superhumans in this universe decided to settle all disputes through wrestling. The 105 Chojin(superhuman) Gods gave birth to multiple races, and had a sense of humor so that both animals and inanimate objects(there's been a teapackman, a wire puzzle man, clock man, puzzle cube man, sitting toilet man, oh and Sneagator, the unholy fusion of alligator and sneaker who can shapeshifter into various reptiles and a shoe, among many others) could also evolve into Chojin as well. Most of them are aliens too. Since it's wrestling there's the big 3 factions the Seigi(Justice), Akuma(Devil, and they mean it literally, they all serve Chojin Satan in exchange for power), and Perfect Chojin. Plus the Brutal/Violent subgroup. Kinnikuman and his Idol Chojin are the lead team.
Extremely hands on and brutal fights combined with levity of the lead being a cowardly Lion with huge self doubt despite his victories(including becoming king of his home planet and marrying his long time love interest who's a Kaiju slaying badass) who'd rather be off eating Gyudon and keeps breaking his heroic character whenever in panic. Who has 48 killer moves, 52 submission holds(those 100 from his legendary mentor Kamehame the Hawaiian champion) and the legendary finishing move of his clan, is still as likely to break the tension with a gag.

Oh and also Kinnikuman is a huge source for a ton of video game wrestling stuff(he gets the style and move refs, Tiger mask another classic gets the story and look refs). Especially the Kinniku Buster, Driver and the Muscle spark. That and the whole dramatized slowmo air finisher.

For a quick NA specific callout, the M.U.S.C.L.E. Toyline and game was based off the OG show that didn't make it over(for quite a few reasons) that Mattel licensed from Bandai. Ultimate Muscle was the original sequel, DBGT and Boruto style. It's now in complicated canon status(time travel was involved and the trigger of that apparently just showed up in the continuation, so who knows)

Wrestling is real and the legal sport of superheroes and villains to prove their worth. Aliens, cyborgs, androids and freaks of nature that shouldn't live all exist. Evil friendship power is not only a thing but as dangerous as good friendship power.

Satan is also real and exists as a shadowy entity who gives power or something else in exchange of souls, sadly, Satan is more of a wish granter than a wrestler.

Been catching the new Kinnukuman on Netflix, this was a nice Rollercoaster of a fight after the previous ones. I used to watch the FoxBox Ultimate Muscle as a teen so this new anime has been a fun ride so far.

Why not Dalmatian Men?

The wrestling part is more the dog being basically a nazi and he and his faction called the Perfect Chojin or basically Perfect Supermen wanting to prove they are the Master Race and purge the lower classes of their strongest and take over.

Obviously everyone else don't like these guys and unite to stop them, and these guys are so assurred of their victory they pratically prepared rings and cameras around the world to challenge the strongest of the lower races to matches and show their prowess while killing them.

There are actual Nazi wrestlers in Kinnikuman that I feel should probably get mentioned first and foremost

I think only Brockenman is a nazi, the one spewing gas, Brocken Jr according to the author, was more into nazi chic for fashion rather than actually being a nazi, to a point where he never says or does anything remotely nazi like.

It's even why Brocken Jr changed his costume in the last arc of the 80's and the current series into a more generic soldier one, there was no reason for him to dress like a nazi when he acted nothing like one and had none of their beliefs.

Also, i kinda think it was also to represent he was the son of Brockenman too.
