Kinnikuman 182

With a miraculous combination of Terryman and Buffaloman's arms, Warsman controls have finally been stabilized! But does Terry have enough in him to get right back up and finish the victory for the Justice Choujin against Ashuraman?

Chapter 182: Gold Mask Arc (23): Consecutive Victories Stop!?

23.
Referee: 3, 4
Announcer: Now watch the top of the Control Unit. Will the first one to stand be Terryman—
Announcer: Or will it be Ashuraman---!?
Suguru: You can do it! Terryman, connect a flawless three-straight wins to Geronimo---!!
Brocken: Terry!!
Robin: Terryman
Announcer: Now, both players are strained of power---!!
Referee: 5, 6
Ashura: Ke, I’m sorry…

24.
Ashura: The consecutive victory record of the Justice Choujin will turn to dust!!
Announcer: The first to stand is Devil Knight Ashuraman----!!

25.
Everyone: AAH
Terry: Ugugu~~~…………
Ashura: You gave a shock to the Control Unit and stopped Warsman’s internal earthquakes, but your power seems at it’s limit, Terryman!!
Ashura: So then, Kinnikuman, give up your Silver Mask!
Suguru: You’re di…dirty!! How could I hand it over with one loss if we’re not being given the true Gold Mask for defeating the Devil Knights!!

26.
Ashura: On top of accepting that disadvantage, weren’t all of you the ones taking our Hell Tour!! You’re the ones who are dirty for not protecting their promise…and yet aren’t all of you warriors!
Suguru: Gu…Gumu—you’re telling the truth………
Terry: You must not hand it over, Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: What—
Terry: Because, Ashuraman! Because you’re not the true winner!
Ashura: Are…you insane—the first to stand is me----
Terry: Actually, you did stand before me…But you’re not in the ring yet!! It’s not over until the true winner returns to the ring!

27.
Ashura: Of…of course!! This is out of the ring…
Announcer: Ashuraman rushed the match and ended up forgetting to return to the ring--!!
Referee: 15
Ashura: They…they’re still midway through the count. If I return within the 20 count, the victory will be mine……!!
Terry: Can I do this!!
Announcer: Ashuraman is rushing to the ring to gain the victory. And Terryman is trying to prevent it. What will be the victory---!
Referee: 16

28.
Referee: 17
Referee: 18
Terry: Bu…Buffaloman, a last miracle--!!
Referee: 19
Terry: Uwa—

29.
Referee: 20!!
Announcer: Terryman’s tackled him—at this point, both players are out of a ring out and it’s ending in a draw---!!
Suguru: Terry
Suguru: Dahaha, the devil’s hand from the start has reached a destiny where the Gold and Silver Mask won’t shine!
Terry: Hand over the Gold Mask!!
Terry: Ge…a crack…it’s a fake----!!
Robin: We’ve gotten five of the six masks, but they’ve all been wrong, so the real Gold Mask is the last one………

30.
J. Choujin: Su…Sunshine on the 4th Floor has it---!!
Terry: If we know that, then hurry, Kinnikuman! Buffaloman’s arms are slowly dissapearing…I can hold back Ashuraman for a bit!!
Suguru: Ooh!
Ashura: Kinnikuman! You can go, but Sunshine’s Sand Hell is at a different level from the hells until now!!

31.
Ashura: Not one of those who’ve gone there has ever come back alive!! Thus, all of you can never obtain the Gold Mask!!
Ashura: S**t! Let go, Terryman.
Terry: Buffaloman’s arms have disappeared…And I’m at my limit too…!
Terry: Buffaloman…yo…your grudge power…I’ve disgraced in defeat……
Ashura: Help me…………!! Let go!

Caption: 5-Tier Ring 4th Floor: Geronimo vs. Sunshine
Announcer: Now Geronimo is throwing a storm of Tomahawk Chops to the chest towards Sunshine, the remaining final Devil Knight and seems to be the possessor of the real Gold Mask---!!
Suguru: Good. Right there, Geronimo—
Geronimo: If…if I win, we’ll take back the true Gold Mask and we can save the lives of all the Choujin……………!! Bu…but, to defeat this powerful enemy Sunshine with my power is just too much responsibility…………!!
Geronimo: But I must take this responsibility even if I throw away my life!!
Announcer: Did you hear that---!!

33.
Announcer: And with the many times Sunshine has taken Geronimo’s Tomahawk Chops
Announcer: He is shaking---!!
Announcer: Finally, Sunshine’s stronghold has crumbled—
Suguru: He did it--!!
Geronimo: U—rarara—
Announcer: And without delay, Geronimo aims a Flying Body Press at Sunshine—

34.
Announcer: But it’s cheated as Sunshine bends his legs--!!
Geronimo: Uwa
Sunshine: Kuo Kuokuo, do you think that Body Press is the worst technique to perform on me--!!
Geronimo: As expected, you’re boss rank even among the Devil Knights, Sunshine. I’m happy! That I’m fighting an opponent who’s resistive!!
Sunshine: You’ve showed me your prided technique, the Tomahawk Chop…this time I’ll show you my prided technique…!!
Sunshine: Hell Tour #6: Sand Hell!!
Announcer: Sunshine’s body is crumbling under his feet---!!

35.
Suguru: Th…this is Sand Hell, said to be the worst among the hells~~!!
Sunshine: Kuo kuo kuo
Announcer: Sunshine has left behind just a large amount of sand in the ring and his body has completely disappeared—
Geronimo: A lot of sand……!?
Geronimo: N~~~
Geronimo: Uh!!
Geronimo: Gahahaha, I see it: the true form of Sand Hell! Sand Hell is an ant lion. In short: this sand is the form Sunshine transformed into!! This has been planned so even one step I make on this will end up with me dragged within the depthless sand, where I can’t get up again!!

36.
Geronimo: But for Geronimo to defeat it with this poor technique is overdoing for a bug…
Geronimo: Sand is weak to wind!! TOMAHAWK TORNADO!!
Announcer: Geronimo has caused a great rotation with his Tomahawk Chop, creating a cyclone and sending Sunshine’s sand flying—
Geronimo: Sunshine, to transform your body into sand was unlucky for your body.
Sunshine: Kuo…Kuokuo; Geronimo, if you think that’s all to my Sand Hell, then you’re greatly mistaken!!
Geronimo: Wh…what!!

37.
Geronimo: Sa…sand! From the ceiling…!!
Announcer: What, a large amount of sand is falling from the ceiling, aiming for Geronimo—
Announcer: No! What’s falling isn’t sand, it’s Sunshine----!!
Geronimo: …………!!

TN: I really don't want to talk about the end of this ridiculous fight between Terryman and Ashuraman (particularly since it lead to nothing except moving the plot along), this leaves us with the true highlight of the chapter: the beginning of Geronimo vs. Sunshine! Like all Devil Knights before him (well aside from one), Sunshine oozes of cool, referring to himself formally with the "-sama" ending, having shapeshifting sand powers and a massive body that crushes. I actually remember him way back when I watched Kinnikuman Nisei/Ultimate Muscle when he was the trainer for some other Choujin and just wished that I could have seen him fight....and this chapter proves how smart and interesting his strategies are at this early stage. But strangely enough, Geronimo is starting to prove his merit to me as well. Compared to other characters, who seem to not realize a trap until they fall in it, the Indian figured out almost instantly with his mind and a diverse but simple set of skills how to fight against the giant block Choujin! In fact it's probably a bit like how Robin Mask/Junkman started...but without Robin Mask. (and with more revelations to come!)
