Kinnikuman 191

Kinnikuman has sallied forth to take on both Ashuraman and Akuma Shogun for the fate of the Gold & Silver Masks...but before that match can begin, a very special guest has decided to come back from the dead...

Chapter 191: Gold Mask Arc (32): The Terrible Deathmatch!!

163.
Everyone: Buffaloman!!
Announcer: Buffaloman, who has lost to Kinnikuman and should have been executed by the Devil’s Punishment, has revived here and now----!!

164.
Robin: It…can’t be! Buffaloman gave his power to Warsman, Wolfman and I at the edge of his death, he shouldn’t have the power left to revive!!
Wars: And even Buffaloman’s corpse was beheaded by the Devil Knights, which should be impossible to come back from…………!!
Suguru: It…it had been, yet he’s walking here.
Mayumi: Uwa~~~a ghost~~~!!
Terry: No, that Buffaloman isn’t a monster or a ghost. The genuine, real Buffaloman has revived!
Brocken: Terry, how do you know that?

165.
Terry: That’s because when both by arms were stolen in the Ashuraman fight, what saved me in that close fight was Buffaloman’s arms………
Suguru: Yes…and further, when the Door to Hell closed, it was Buffaloman who loaned his power to me…………
Suguru: Well, Buffaloman, as you promised then, we welcome you to join our Justice Choujin!!
Ashura: Kakakaka—since he’s a special guest, then shouldn’t someone see that Buffaloman is our follower?
Suguru: Well!! The devil Buffaloman took his punishment and died. Right here and now, he’s a Justice Choujin, reborn as New Buffaloman----!!
Ashura: Ka~~~kakaka, those who have sold their souls to the devil once ca—n’t escape from the Devil’s world, whether dead or alive!! Therefore, the corpse of Buffaloman, which was revived, can’t be a Justice Choujin. He’s only works for Akuma Shogun—

166.
Suguru: That shouldn’t be. Buffaloman’s revival is with our heart of justice! Our prayers were answered by God—
Ashura: Kakakaka—your prayers brought him back to life—
Announcer: Now, which will Buffaloman sit with: the Justice Choujin stands as expected or the Devil Choujin stands!!
Suguru: Kehehe…well, look. Buffaloman is coming to the side of the Justice Choujin!!
Suguru: Well well, Buffaloman, come to our seats. Now we’ll aim to overthrow Akuma Shogun by fighting together.
Suguru: Huh?

167.
Suguru: Buffaloman………
Buffalo: Shogun-sama, I am extremely grateful that you would come to revive a man like me…!!
Shogun: You’ve come well, Buffaloman!
Suguru: Aah!!
Suguru: Bu…Bu…Buffaloman! You’ve seen our friendship and you haven’t decided to join the Justice Choujin--?
Announcer: Buffaloman’s aim is to overthrow the Justice Choujin.

168.
Shogun: Buffaloman, I have revived you because you know about Kinnikuman…you are our officer and have many things to do!!
Buffalo: Yes…
Ashura: Ka—kakaka, do you see Kinnikuman? This is the truth!
Suguru: Ku kukuku
Suguru: A devil is a devil after all, Buffaloman. I was stupid to believe in you!! At most, here you’ll tell my weakness to Ashuraman.
Suguru: Well, Ashuraman, we have no time. Let’s start the match immediately!!
Ashura: That’s what I intend too, but before, let me explain the method of this match.

169.
Suguru: Ge!! The ceiling is…
Suguru: Uwa—what the heck is starting----!!
Announcer: Suddenly, the ceiling of the gym has opened and the ring where Kinnikuman and Ashuraman are in is rising—
Suguru: N!?

170.
Suguru: Ge…gege—we’re fully surrounded by mountains on one side.
Terry: When we were guided by the devils, we came to this arena, but how could a step outside be this mountain area……
Robin: But why is this match occurring in this place…
Ashura: Do you want to know why this place was chosen…the weather of mountains are said to easily change, but here in the Japan Alps, in the area called the Devil’s Triangle, the weather changes are particularly violent…
(TN: The expression “Ma no Sankakau Chitai” is usually used in conjunction with the “Bermuda Triangle” in Japanese. The name probably should be “The Japan Alps Triangle”, but at this moment I decided to just call it “The Devil’s Triangle of the Japan Alps”)

171.
Ashura: Now you may think it is clear, but the next moment can be rainy or windy, and soon it can snow again. Many climbers have challenged this Devil’s Triangle until now, but they die when they can’t keep up with the climate changes…even now, there are many bones scattered at the base of the mountain.
Ashura: Since those who can’t adjust to the abnormal climate changes die, only those who can use it skillfully survive.
Ashura: We call it the “Weather Deathmatch”!!
Ashura: How’s that! Don’t you think the battle stage is neat?
Suguru: You’ll do this alone.
Ashura: Kakakaka—
Suguru: Owa—
Ashura: It should be. The mountain weather can change easily…Once this ring was raised, you can’t run away until the end of the match!
Suguru: Hie—

172.
Suguru: Owa!
Suguru: Hie—
Announcer: A gust has swept away the ring’s canvas—
Suguru: So…so then, we can’t have our match—
Ashura: This is ordinary for a Weather Deathmatch…if you can’t skillfully use the climate changes, you can’t win the match.
Ashura: Well, in the midst, we get a moderate rain.
Ashura: There’s no way I can’t use this!!

173.
Suguru: Ah…that guy, what is he starting to do……
Suguru: Ge!!
Suguru: Aah! He turned the water into a rope!!
Ashura: Kakakaka—

174.
Suguru: THIS…THIS IS!!
Ashura: For the Weather Deathmatch, first I’ll start by making the easiest canvas for me to fight on!
Announcer: Ashuraman has somehow created a canvas, stretching the water like a spider web!
Buffalo: As…expected, Ashuraman’s Weather Deathmatch is genius!! He’s completely captured Kinnikuman.
Shogun: Well, he is the personification of a spider by nature!

175.
Ashura: Ka—kakaka: Kinnikuman, you don’t have any place to cling to, so its best if you come her quickly!!
Suguru: Gege—I can’t walk across this water next smoothly.
Ashura: Don’t be afraid. My Water Net is strong.
Suguru: OK!
Suguru: Ooh, I’m calm!! This is stronger than a regular rope!!
Terry: Don’t! Don’t get caught up—
Suguru: Oh…owa—my lower body…
Announcer: Kinnikuman is captured in Ashuraman’s spider web—
Ashura: Ka—kakaka

KINNIKUMAN FAMOUS SCENES PART 9:
“Geronimo, you are a man with a Choujin Soul greater than we Choujin!!”

TN: Buffaloman's return at this point...is sort of weird, particularly with everything that's been going on in the story. It's cool that he's back but even though he's with Akuma Shogun's side, the way that he seemed to help both Suguru and Terry prior to this makes you wonder which side he's really on. But for the moment...well, he's still evil so you can't doubt it too much. As for the actual start of the Ashuraman match...somehow seeing him create that weird spider web made me think he was Spider-man, but to make it out of water was just a tad sick. But hey, aside from the weird teleportation bit (come on, why was a crowd already waiting for them!?), the Weather Death Match is just a cool idea that will see more done with it next time.
