Shin-Men is a short-form action comedy spinoff set in the Shin Dimension, a parallel world. The title team is made up of five heroes with supernatural abilities, each tied to an element: Gou to fire, Sui to water, Hyuu to wind, Nyoki to greenery and Kan to iron. The five fight side by side against their foes, the wicked pigs of Ton-Men. The run opened with a one-hour special, and after that a new episode aired each month in the regular Friday evening slot of Crayon Shin-chan.
