Kinnikuman 178

The Devil Knight Ashuraman already appears as one of the most formidable Devil Knights, with six powerful arms thrusting towards Terryman! But with his trump card technique, he may prove himself greater than even Kinnikuman...

Chapter 178: Gold Mask Arc (19): Split Apart!! Ashura Buster

150.
Ashura: Wa—tch closely—Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: Ge~~~! Th…this form is the same as my Kinniku Buster!!

151.
Announcer: The true form of Ashuraman’s Ashura Buster is the Kinniku Buster, Kinnikuman’s Deadly Technique--!!
Ashura: Gege--!!
Meat: Pr…Prince’s Kinniku Buster…………!!
Suguru: He’s stolen a guy’s technique!! That mimicking plagiarist--!!
Terry: Don’t worry, Kinnikuman!!
Terry: His technique is simple: If this is a copy technique of the Kinniku Buster, then I can reverse it with the “turning a 6 into a 9” Kinniku Buster Reverse or the Neo-Kinniku Buster and it will break!

152.
Suguru: Of course, you’ve got this!!
Ashura: Fufufu…you say that but the Ashura Buster is also known as the Triple Kinniku Buster…!!
Ashura: Watch carefully!! My Ashura Buster isn’t a simple copy!!

153.
Terry: Uwa--!!
Announcer: Ashuraman jumps, making the first presentation of the Ashura Buster in our country---!!
Terry: What! 6-into-9 Kinniku Buster Reversal…!!
Terry: N…no!! His six arms have hooked me perfectly…it’s thought is it can’t be changed by anyone!!

154.
Terry: If…if that’s how it is, then I’ll use Neo-Kinniku Buster to strike him on the ceiling---!!
Terry: There—
Terry: Uh!!
Terry: I…I can’t spin!! It’s impossible to rise and strike him on the ceiling…!!
Terry: Uwa--!!
Announcer: With nonresistance, is Terryman going down with the General Ashuraman---!?
Suguru: Aah

155.
Suguru: TERRY—
Everyone: Aah!!
Terry: Ki…Kinnikuman.
Ashura: That…was too much……

156.
Announcer: Some…somehow, the Ashura Buster was split apart on top of Kinnikuman’s back--!!
Ashura: S**t!
Terry: I’m…sorry, Kinnikuman.
Suguru: I didn’t jump in for your sake. It was to protect the Kinniku Buster, which I created with my blood, sweat and tears.
Ashura: Kukuku…To protect your Kinniku Buster? I don’t know why, but your action now was recognition that the Kinniku Buster is inferior to the Ashura Buster……!!
Suguru: What!!
Ashura: You were scared! That there exists a technique that surpasses your Kinniku Buster…That’s why you got in my way!!

157.
Suguru: What--!! O—K, so then, why don’t we decide right here and now which Buster is better!!
Ashura: I think I know the result before we do it.
Suguru: What!
Terry: That’s what Ashuraman said, Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: Wha…
Terry: Now listen, Kinnikuman. Your Kinniku Buster is said to be decapitating, side-splitting and back breaking. It is a perfect deadly technique that is endowed with everything of the Three Great Deadly Techniques and has become a big topic!
Terry: But, even this super-deadly technique has a weakness! That is seen in what’s chosen of the parts of the entire body. For the Kinniku Buster, that point is that they have to decide on grabbing either the arms or legs!!
Terry: If the opponent can react with their legs and turn the body…
Terry: Then they can easily reverse it! That’s Buffaloman’s Kinniku Buster Reversal.

158.
Terry: On the other hand…by revolving with both arms opening, then you can come to spin both your own body and your opponent’s body; from this it is possible to do the trick called Neo-Kinniku Buster!!
Suguru: However, I only have two hands!! It’s impossible to grab both the opponent’s wrists and ankles!!
Terry: But…if you have six arms like Ashuraman, what will happen!?
Suguru: Aah!!
Suguru: You can easily grab both the wrists and ankles!! Therefore, you can’t use a reversal technique like Kinniku Buster Reversal or Neo-Kinniku Buster!!
Terry: As…an extra, by doing this technique, you gain a result of ankle breaking and chicken wing as well plus Kinniku Buster’s results of decapitating, side-splitting and back breaking! In short, it’s a super-deadly technique that’s greater than the Kinniku Buster!!
Suguru: I’ve…lost!! My…
Ashura: Kukuku…Kinnikuman, my opponent is Terryman!!

159.
Ashura: I’ll slowly cook you up later!
Ashura: So, Terryman, let’s resume the match--!!
Announcer: Terryman can’t get away from the slaps being thrown out from the six arms of Ashuraman!!
Suguru: Aah, Terry
Ashura: To be top class, you don’t amount to much with the full power of the others. In truth, you’ve got many corpses in the Justice Choujin like Wolfman and Warsman!!
Ashura: !

160.
Terry: Ashuraman!! You shouldn’t have said what you did now.
Terry: If it were about me, I wouldn’t mind being talked badly!!
Terry: But I can’t forgive speaking bad of my dead allies!!
Ashura: Gya—
Suguru: Terry
Announcer: Terryman has broken Ashuraman’s arm with an Angry Arm Breaker!!
Terry: But, my arm has become torn…

161.
Terry: So then I’ll attack with my remaining left hand--!!
Announcer: A revived Terryman has taken Ashuraman’s arm and is running towards the iron pole!!
Terry: Uo--!!
Suguru: He did it—
Announcer: Terryman has sacrificed his own left arm and has broken off two of Ashuraman’s arms.
Terry: I’ve come to not use either of my arms! But you can’t use your perfect Ashura Buster either……
Terry: N!?
Terry: Ge!! Those are the arms of the seven Devil Choujin we defeated!!

162.
Ashura: Naturally I’m a Choujin who wouldn’t bring with his own arms! My replacements are arms that I’ve stolen from Choujin that I’ve been dyed in the blood of personally!!
Terry: What?
Ashura: Do you know that we executed those seven that had failed in the destruction of you Justice Choujin!?
Ashura: At that time, I took away their arms just before they died!!
Terry: Ge—those are the arms of Atlantis, Black Hole, Mr. Khamen, Mountain and such!!
Ashura: Consequently, if I steal new arms though I have lost my own arms, I can return every time!!

163.
Ashura: Thus, you
Ashura: Had taken two of my arms but…
Ashura: You’re my replacement, Terryman!! I’ll be taking your two arms!!
Terry: GYAA—

(GOLD MASK ARC)
SPECIAL VTR VIII
TERRYMAN VS. ASHURAMAN (1)

TN: This chapter makes me ask one extremely important question: who invented the Kinniku Buster in the first place? On one hand, this chapter seemed to go on and on about how this was Suguru's trademark technique and how Ashuraman perfected it with his six arms allowing him to bind down all limbs preventing them from countering. But as I remember, Kinniku Buster was one of the 48 Killer Techniques taught to Suguru by Prince Kamehame, even referred as one of them when first revealed against Warsman! (though it seemed rather strange that a Killer Technique used by the other alien prince would have "Kinniku" in it, therefore being taken over by Kinnikuman of all people) I know this series is legendary for some of it's inconsistencies but I just really wish I knew who or what the technique was created for and why Suguru decided to make it his trademark...aside from the name. Other than that, I actually liked the whole aspect of theory at least brought to explaining everything here and why Ashuraman was so good in using it....though I sort of wished it wasn't Terryman fighting him.
