It was pretty mediocre as a one-shot, so I was surprised when they introduced it as a new series. The concept of "building peace" by smacking bad guys with a hammer is really stupid. Terribly wasted potential. If they maintained a little more realism with construction, I feel this could've been interesting and somewhat educational. Instead, they opted for being able to do construction work by shooting energy beams. I guess when you get really good, you don't even have to touch tools or materials - or even be anywhere near the building you're working on. Build King tried to incorporate a dumb rainbow ofattributes, giving it a Pokemon-style strength/weakness system. This was really half-assed and convoluted, then it was immediately undermined when they introduced additional colours that aren't part of the standard rainbow.

Art is kinda bad. Tonkachi can range anywhere from a RIPPED toddler to a RIPPED teenager. His body size is very inconsistent. If he's gonna be RIPPED like this, he should always at least look like a teenager. At least!

Toriko and Komatsu make cameo appearances in this manga, which is just kinda laughable. You can feel the author desperately trying to grasp his former glory. Build King should've just stayed as a one-shot and nothing more.
