Kinnikuman 347

Finally creating a rift with the two Satan Cross bodies, Suguru finally has his ultimate chance to reveal to the world his new trump card: the Perfect Muscle Spark! But can he stop both bodies long enough to make the miracle happen?

Chapter 347: Scramble for the Kinniku Throne (74): Complete! The Dream Special Hold!!

47.
Announcer: The duo of Samson and the parasite Satan Cross, whose fusion mouth has been plugged up by Kinnikuman’s Square Bubble, are flying up high in the sky by Kinnikuman---!!
Suguru: Come on: now I’ll be testing the Muscle Spark, the dream of big bro Ataru and myself---!!
S. Cross: Kikiki…Kinnikuman, you thought that you prevented our fusion by plugging up the fusion mouth of Samson’s body, but
S. Cross: I am a parasite! If there is a merely a wound in Samson, then I can enter in there and fuse with him!!

48.
Announcer: Ooh: The parasite Satan Cross is fusing in to the wound of Samson Teacher that got injured in this battle and has started to parasite off it---!!

49.
Announcer: The parasite Satan Cross is rapidly parasiting into the body of Samson Teacher---!!
Announcer: The two bodies of the parasite Satan Cross and Samson Teacher have fused giving birth to a reborn Satan Cross----!!
Suguru: Pa…parasite Satan Cross is quite tenacious!!

50.
Robin: Watch out, Kinnikuman: the enemy is coming to there!!
S. Cross & S. Teacher: Double Face Head Butt--!!
Suguru: Ge!!
Announcer: The two heads of the reborn Satan Cross has directly hit the top of Kinnikuman’s head---!!
Suguru: Wh…why couldn’t my Defend Suit defend that attack now…
Announcer: New Satan Cross is flying high once again---!!

51.
S. Cross & S. Teacher: Take this—the finishing Double Face Head Butt---!!
Suguru: …That’s right: the Defend Suit starts its defensive action from a strong will occurring stating that you want to defeat the technique within the head of the person that is wearing it…I hadn’t realized the technique that would be released by Satan Cross when I was thinking earlier. Thus, a defensive action hadn’t occurred with the Defend Suit either!!
“Head Caption”: Defeat this technique!!
Suguru: Satan Cross, this technique won’t be taken again!!
Suguru: Defend Double Face Head Butt----!!

52.
Announcer: Somehow a helmet has jumped out from Kinnikuman’s mouth guard, preventing Satan Cross’ Head Butt---!!
Suguru: An…and now!!
Suguru: For the dream of me and big bro Ataru!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman is giving a ride to Satan Cross’ body inverted, soaring him high to the ceiling with bridge power---!!

53.
Announcer: Kinnikuman is raising up Satan Cross with his bridge 2 times, 3, 4, 5 times! Is this the preliminary for some technique!! But which technique will oppose the Defend Suit of Satan Cross, which has been input with every defensive method for Kinnikuman’s techniques!?
Robin: THE MUSCLE SPARK!!
Robin: What’s input in Satan Cross’ Defend Suit is just Kinnikuman’s past special techniques. However, if this is the Muscle Spark, which hasn’t appeared in this world yet, there’s nothing that Satan Cross’ Defend Suit can do to defend it.

54.
Robin: Now Kinnikuman is merely praying that the Perfect Muscle Spark that finished off Terryman during his special training at Yakushimaru Temple wasn’t an illusion!!
Announcer: Well, Kinnikuman has thrown Satan Cross even higher with his bridge---!!
Suguru: Let’s go: Muscle Spark!!
Suguru: …Uh!!
Robin: Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: It…it seems with the attacks I’ve taken from Satan Cross until now, the attack that I’ve accumulated are attacking me all at once!!
Announcer: Satan Cross is falling---!!

55.
Suguru: Hey! Even if I don’t come to have my standard power, I have the Burning Inner Strength in me----!!
Announcer: Well, Kinnikuman is soaring up himself and has captured the body of the falling Satan Cross, somehow hardening into a technique we haven’t seen---!!
Phoenix: Kinnikuman, do you remember---!!
Phoenix: Your Burning Inner Strength was confined into the Great Evil Temple by Mixer Taitei’s Power Separator when you fought Team Mariposa’s Mixer Taitei in Kumamoto Castle!!

56.
Suguru: Aah~~!!
Phoenix: In brief: you who have lost your standard power don’t have the replacement power to wage on Satan Cross the Perfect Muscle Spark anymore; Ha—hahaha!!
Suguru: If…if you say that, then even if I complete the Muscle Spark by getting just Satan Cross’ arms…it’s no good…without having power in my body…and yet it’s due to not having the Burning Inner Strength in me…
Geronimo: S**t: while he’s cornered Satan Cross to one more step, he can’t complete the technique with insufficient power…
Robin: So then the Perfect Muscle Spark will ultimately end up an illusionary hold?
Suguru: Aah~~it’s crumbling: the dream of me and big bro Ataru…

57.
Announcer: Kinnikuman is starting to stall, so dispirited that his balance has collapsed without finishing off Satan Cross with the Perfect Muscle Spark---!!
Ramen: Kinnikuma—n!!
Audience: Kya---!!
Neptune: What can save Kinnikuman now is only the ash of the Muscle Prophecy written about Kinniku Ataru…
Neptune: Great Kinniku Ataru: awaken a miracle once more.
Announcer: Will Kinnikuman’s ship sink together with Satan Cross---!?

58.
Audience: Ooh, look: the ash is surrounding Kinnikuman!!
“Ataru”: Don’t give up, Suguru: I’m with you.

59.
Suguru: Ooh—what’s wrong…a power greater than the Burning Inner Strength is swelling up in my body~~!!
Suguru: I may be able to perform it here!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman, who was on the verge of falling into the ring, has started to rise up once again---!!
Phoenix: How…stupid: that guy has that power remaining!!

60.
Suguru: Take this—the special hold that is the dream of myself and big bro Ataru; presenting for the first time in this country: the Perfect Muscle Spark---!!
Announcer: There it is----! Based on a hint of the way to perform 50% Muscle Spark that he was left with conversely by the life of Kinniku Ataru, Kinnikuman now has completed the Perfect Muscle Spark---!!

61.
Announcer: Kinnikuman now has come to connect their backs and is going to fall--!!
Ashura: Kinnikuman, don’t care about me: end the life of Samson Teacher, who has changed into a brute Choujin who doesn’t have sympathy!!
Ashura: Pl…please, Kinnikuman: end…Samson’s…
Suguru: Te…tears……
Ashura: Samson………

62.
Ashura: Aah, th…that’s!?
Announcer: Somehow what’s been thrown to the Magic-Square ring by Kinnikuman’s Perfect Muscle Spark was just the head of the parasite Satan Cross---!!

63.
S. Cross: It’s…a tremendous technique no different from the rumors…I’ve completely lost…
S. Cross: …………
Announcer: Kinnikuman’s silver Defend Suit has been dyed deep red by the spurt of blood by the parasite Satan Cross; yet even while losing his Burning Inner Strength, he’s defeated Satan Cross with his new special technique, the Muscle Spark, and has moved one step further to the seat of the Throne of Planet Kinniku----!!

64.
S. Teacher: W…why hadn’t you stabbed your finisher on me……
Suguru: I did finish you off: the evil worm that was eating Samson Teacher’s true wrestling spirit.
(TN: It’s hard to explain what he’s saying but basically remember: parasites are considered part of the body of the victim…so when Suguru said “he finished Samsom Teacher off”, remember that the Satan Cross parasite was part of Samson Teacher, so technically he “finished him off”)
S. Teacher: Ki…Kinnikuman, a person like you is such a sublime Choujin…
“Ataru”: SUGURU, I SAW IT: THE MUSCLE SPARK THAT WAS AS I HAD DRAWN IN MY HEART!!
Suguru: Big bro Ataru!!

65.
Robin: What’s wrong, Kinnikuman?
Suguru: There was the voice of big bro Ataru now…
Suguru: Uh!!
Suguru: The…power is coming out from my body a…gain…
Robin: Kinnikuman!!
“Partner”: Kinnikuman, you used up all of your power so you could defeat Satan Cross, but you’ll be dealing with the bloody battle inside Osaka Castle that will start from here with that.

(SCRAMBLE FOR THE KINNIKU THRONE ARC)
SPECIAL VTR LXIII (XXXXXXIII)
SATAN CROSS VS. KINNIKUMAN

TN: Well...what can you really say: the Perfect Muscle Spark has finally been accomplished and revealed to the world...but it still feels cheap as heck. It's not a cheap attack considering it is the trump card of trump cards of the Kinniku Clan. And it's not really cheap considering usually these situations have Suguru summoning the Burning Inner Strength for his finisher (even if he has to be reminded that it's still at the temple of the Evil Gods). In the latter we know he essentially needs it to deliver the finishing blow, considering the move itself may be powerful but the Burning Inner Strength gives it the kick to crush a Buffaloman or an Akuma Shogun...so to use it alongside Satan Cross would usually be a necessity. (since for the most part doing it to Terry in practice gets it mastered but doesn't have the super-power that a Burning Inner Strength-powered one gives during a climax battle) The cheapest and stupidest factor regarding the Muscle Spark revelation in this chapter...was that Suguru essentilaly magically got a "Burning Inner Strength-like" upgrade via the Muscle Prophecy ash of his brother. Now let me ask you: what exactly was in that ash to let Suguru do that!? Was it brotherly love? More friendship nonsense? (which Ataru did specifically say is more important than Burning Inner Strength) The residue of Hellfire Inner Strength temporarily becoming the more-potent Burning Inner Strength in it's place? Indigestion!? It's like they want to make us believe that a miracle occurred with the fusion of both brothers allowing for the Perfect Muscle Spark to be shown off but don't exactly tell us why...just make us assume it's more Friendship Power! Yeah...you can probably understand my frustration by now so nuff said.

At least this chapter gave us a good denouement and conclusion regarding Samson Teacher. The climax where Suguru was performing the Muscle Spark while Ashuraman was trying to protect his former master showed a lot of emotion, as well as the final line where Suguru stated that "by defeating the parasite, it's technically defeating Satan Cross/Samson Teacher". Heck I even didn't mind how weird the "two-headed Satan Cross" was near the end, sort of gave me weird flashback to the Two-Headed monster or that two-headed guy from He-Man. (looked it up on Wiki, it's Two-Bad) All in all, even with it's stupid parts, it was a satisfying conclusion to a...strange fight. But hey, at least the first phase of the final battle is over...but here comes the second phase.
