Kinnikuman 193

Kinnikuman has defeated one of the three faces of Ashuraman in the Weather Deathmatch, but his "Cold Face" has caused a blizzard in the middle of the ring...and with Suguru sinking fast, can he hold on with his attacks?

Volume 16: Unsinkable! Akuma Shogun!!
Chapter 193: Gold Mask Arc (34): Snow vs. Kinnikuman!!

8.
Announcer: Kinnikuman is caught in the new snow and is sinking holding his Kinniku Buster—
Suguru: Cur…curse you, Buffaloman!!
Buffalo: And that’s how it is!
Ashura: Take this!! Tornado Hell

9.
Suguru: UWA~~~
Ashura: Ka—kakakaka!
Announcer: Ashuraman is spinning his body, creating a snow whirlwind----!!

10.
Announcer: Aah! The impact has disconnected the Kinniku Buster—
Ashura: Ka—kakaka, now it’s my turn!
Buffalo: Look at Ashuraman’s wonderful snow performance…!!
Suguru: Uwa—
Ashura: Ka—kakaka—

11.
Announcer: The swirling has stopped and Kinnikuman has stopped moving--!!
Meat: Prince!!
Robin: Ooh, look!
Ashura: Kakaka—
Announcer: A Kinnikuman popsicle has been completed in the ring--!!
Meat & Terry: Kinnikuma—n

12.
Meat: S**t.
Terry: Meat-kun!
Meat: You’re mean, you’re mean! Shouldn’t you be embarrassed for luring a friend you’ve fought in a mutual 60-minute fierce fight----!! Where’s did that Buffaloman who sacrificed his own horn to save me go----!!
Buffalo: …………
Buffalo: Don’t be so mushy—
Buffalo: I’m not controlled by the words and actions of strangers. Uncertain feelings in the ring are shameful!!
Buffalo: If you regret that, then attack me--!! Run around with attacks like those. Your own helplessness will bring you shame---!!

13.
Suguru: Kukukuku
Suguru: You’d say that, Buffaloman. In spite of being drawn here by Akuma Shogun, I don’t have a reason to defeat you later.
Ashura: Ge…my popsicles should never break……!!
Suguru: Then I’ll break it! Muscle Blizzard!!
Announcer: A reversal technique where fragments of ice broken by Kinnikuman plunge into Ashuraman--!!
Meat: Buffaloman!!

14.
Shogun: You said a bit too much! Buffaloman…
Buffalo: I’m…I’m sorry.
Ashura: Wh…why! No one has ever broken out of my Popsicle Hell…
Suguru: Ice is weak to heat. That’s my proof!
Ashura: Bu…but, it should be impossible to make fire within!
Suguru: I didn’t, but a warm thing doesn’t need fire!
Ashura: Ah!
Girl: Uwa! Disgusting~~
Man: Nothing we can do. The assault had him hold it in within the ice, but it got cooled.
Announcer: Somehow, Kinnikuman melted the ice with a physiological phenomenon—
Ashura: Yo…you—you mock me. Un…forgivable!!

15.
Ashura: Ashura Face: Angry!!
Announcer: The Laughing and Cold Ashura Faces have been smashed and just his Angry Face remains—
Ashura: Finally, it’s not that his Angry Face remains; with his Angry Face out at last, he can do what he wants.
Buffalo: Te…terrible. Of the three Ashura Faces, that Angry Face is the strongest!! It’s unbelievable that there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know this terror when they see it.
Terry: Buffaloman is having leftover nightmares of that Angry Ashura Face……
Ashura: Ka—kakaka, die—
Announcer: Now, Ashuraman attacks---!!
Announcer: But that isn’t a damaging technique. His spinning shrimp pose isn’t effective!!

16.
Announcer: And now this time a Cobra Twist!!
Announcer: No, now again it’s a pinning Rolling Cradle!!
Suguru: Gyahahaha, this won’t work on me---!!
Audience: He—y! That technique won’t defeat Kinnikuman! Get serious—Ashuraman
Buffalo: Does…doesn’t anyone understand? Ashuraman’s fight is perfectly going as planned--!!
Terry: Is he mistaken somewhere!? Ashuraman is merely just repeating monotonous attacks against Kinnikuman…

17.
Terry: Aah! That can’t be Ashuraman’s strategy!!
Robin: What’s wrong, Terryman?
Terry: Do you remember, Robin? There was a scene like this in the Sand Deathmatch between Springman, one of the Seven Devil Choujin, and Wolfman.
Robin: Ooh, at that moment, Springman actually took his opponent’s technique so he could harden the footing of the soft sand; and the impact was taken by the sand, turning the ring into earth—
Terry: Yes…And thus, Ashuraman is just replacing sand with snow.
Suguru: Awawawa
Announcer: Ashuraman purposely used the many pins returned by Kinnikuman to knead the snow, hardening it to make an ice board---!!

18.
Ashura: Kinnikuman, your conclusion wasn’t going to be in the spider web or on the snow. It ultimately will be on a ring with a hard foothold!! However, from here, another long fight will make the two of us too bruised…Why don’t we have our match until we fall from this Ice Skating Ring?
Suguru: Until the ice melts…
Ashura: Yes…and thus, why don’t we decide this match by our mutual Deadly Techniques: the Kinniku Buster and the Ashura Buster!
Ashura: I call it “Ice-Top Buster Battle”!!
Suguru: Ice-Top Buster Battle!!
Ashura: So? Will you take my challenge or not?
Robin: Don’t do it—Kinnikuman, if you do this, you’ll get killed---!!
Suguru: Hey hey, you’re acting as if my Kinniku Buster is, so to say, defeated from the start.

19.
Suguru: I should take Ashuraman’s challenge…and then I’ll take back Terryman’s arms too!!
Terry: You…you’re betting my arms and your life---!!
Suguru: There can’t be two Kinniku Busters in this world!!
Suguru: There—
Announcer: Kinnikuman makes the first move in the Ice-Top Buster Battle---!!
Suguru: Take this—Kinniku Buster--!!
Buffalo: It’s finally come…the day the Kinniku Buster is defeated!!

20.
Ashura: The Kinniku Buster is defeated!!
Suguru: Ge—
Everyone: AAH…
Suguru: Wh…what s**t, well I still have the Neo-Kinniku Buster!!

21.
Annoucer: But the Neo-Kinniku Buster is defeated too!!
Everyone: Aah.
Ashura: No matter how many times, the results will be the same!! Ka—kakaka.
Suguru: De…defeated!! My Kinniku Buster has been…
Ashura: Kakakaka
Ashura: Take this!!

22-23.
Ashura: ASHURA BUSTER--!!
Everyone: AAH

24.
Announcer: Kinnikuman has been purely defeated by the Ashura Buster--!!

TN: OK...am I the only one who thought of Suguru's fight with Ramenman on how he broke out of Ashuraman's ice prison? I mean, it's the exact same ordeal if you think about it: Suguru pees, it ends up melting the ice, Suguru takes advantage! Well OK, maybe the only advantage was breaking out of that popsicle form but at least it is something. Meanwhile I found it really neat how the "ice field" was created at the bottom of the ring with it essentially turning into a final showdown of Kinniku Buster vs. Ashura Buster...but with how the chapter ended, it's hard to say whether Suguru really has too much of a chance as things currently stand! And Buffaloman...no comment.
