CB Chara Nagai Go World (CBキャラ永井豪ワールド CB kyara nagai gō wārudo?, Chibi characters Go Nagai's world) is an original video animation based in the works of Go Nagai. It was originally released from February 21, 1991 (1991-02-21) to June 27, 1991 (1991-06-27) in three episodes.[1][2] Following the same concept, a oneshot manga by Nagai was released in 1992.

Plot[]

As Akira Fudo wakes up, he finds himself in a "chibi" form, which he thinks doesn't fit a hero such as himself. He is not the only one that has changed. Together with Ryo and Miki, they set out on a journey to restore their proper appearances and find out what caused this change. During their adventure they find several other characters from the world of Go Nagai, such as Mazinger Z, Dr. Hell, Baron Ashura, and others.
