Chapter 195: Gold Mask Arc (36): Immortal Soul!!

41.
Announcer: Kinnikuman has skewered Ashuraman’s head on a fragment of the ice ring that’s now breaking up---!!
Ashura: Ka—kakakaka, that’s surely a splendid destruction of the Ashura Buster! But by destroying the Ashura Buster, you’ve also destroyed the Kinniku Buster by your own hands!!
Announcer: Ashuraman is not dead yet!!

42.
Suguru: Ge
Ashura: Die—
Announcer: Ashuraman has grabbed Kinnikuman’s face, making him nose-dive~~~!!
Robin: No! He’s taking Kinnikuman with him!!
Shogun: A Devil Choujin cannot forgive a death in vain! Ashuraman, you’re a Devil Knight to the end!!
Ashura: Ka—kakaka----!!
Suguru: If…if I do something to his six arms!!

43.
Everyone: Uwa~~it’s too late~~!!
Announcer: Both are struggling while crashing into the ground---!!
Meat: Aah

44.
Mayumi: Su…Suguru won!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman got free at once and has smashed Ashuraman’s final face with a modified Tombstone Driver---!!

45.
Announcer: And now Ashuraman’s six arms are being torn off symbolically—this moment settles Kinnikuman’s victory--!!
Shogun: Kinnikuman is weak…but his Burning Inner Strength is strong!!
Mayumi: I knew you would Suguru--!!
Brocken: Ooh!! It’s Terryman’s arms!
Brocken: Well, Kinnikuman, these two arms should be given to Terryman directly by you!!
Brocken: Wh…what’s wrong, Kinnikuman!
Shogun: Kukukuku, don’t you get it? It’s Kinnikuman’s mental state!

46.
Shogun: That Terryman had lost to his special technique, the Kinniku Buster, due to his arms being stolen. He doesn’t want to even see those abominable arms!!
Terry: Huh?
Terry: An original hold is more valuable than life to a Choujin…and thus that important thing had to take back my arms………
Terry: I’m sorry, Kinnikuman!
Buffalo: Devils are cruel! It’s not just that one man’s original hold was stolen from them, it’s that there was a crack in their friendship of buddies without match…
Buffalo: I too am one of the devils…….
Ashura: The…match
Ashura: The result………
Wars: Ooh! Ashuraman is still alive!!
Buffalo: Do…don’t move!! Sleep, Ashuraman!

47.
Ashura: Buffaloman, tell me! Who won me or Kinnikuman?
Buffalo: Kinnikuman won in 26 minutes, 13 seconds by a “modified Tombstone Driver”!!
Ashura: Ye…yes.
Ashura: Sho…Shogun-sama……I tried with all my might, but I couldn’t match his power…please forgive my helplessness……
Buffalo: Ashuraman, you haven’t been defeated by anyone until now. You’ve defeated the Kinniku Buster. Just that was enough. You’ve fulfilled your purpose in “protecting Shogun-sama from being shot”!
Shogun: Thank you for your effort, Ashuraman!
Ashura: Sho…Shogun-sama!
Ashura: I’m…happy for your thanks!!

48.
Ashura: Gya—
Shogun: Hmph!
Buffalo: Wh…what was that…he defeated the Kinniku Buster……
Shogun: Idiot! A Devil Choujin must win. No matter how many Kinniku Busters are defeated, it has no meaning if you lose the match!!
Buffalo: Bu…but………!!
Ashura: If that’s what I am…
Shogun: A Devil Choujin who’s lost a match only has one path to take!

49.
Shogun: Death by my power!!
Ashura: Aah!!
Crowd: Aah!!
Ashura: A…Akuma Shogun, banzai!!
Crowd: Aah

50.
Shogun: Guwahahaha, Ashuraman, Your life will become my flesh and blood and will be used to defeat Kinnikuman--!!
Announcer: Akuma Shogun has gained Ashuraman’s power and powered up---!!
Buffalo: He’s…mad!!
Terry: He…he lost to Akuma Shogun for the Kinniku Buster. I don’t have a reason for my body to take them back from Kinnikuman!!
Terry: These arms! My arms have caused all the problems---!!
Suguru: Stop!
Terry: Ki…Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: What are you doing? I’ve gone through all that to get them back!!
Terry: Bu…but, it’s due to this that you lost your special technique!!

51.
Suguru: Actually, I was shocked that my Kinniku Buster was defeated! But things called techniques are defeated sometimes! It’s better that I’ve developed a new technique at this time!!
Terry: But though it’s a new technique, it’s simply……
Suguru: You didn’t see it. The technique when I was struggling with Ashuraman earlier!
Terry: But that was a fluke. It seemed like a modified Tombstone Driver……
Suguru: But did you see! That fluke technique was a hint for a new technique……!!
Terry: Then, you thought up a new technique earlier!
Suguru: Yes!! It continues the Kinniku Buster: Special Hold 2nd shot…It’s the Kinniku Driver!!
Everyone: Ki…Kinniku Driver!!

52.
Mayumi: You…did it, Suguru! That’s good for your Akuma Shogun match!!
Suguru: No, it’s only still bits and pieces!
Suguru: It’s still not at a stage to be used in combat yet! I need time to practice it…
Terry: Kinnikuman, use me to practice your new technique!
Terry: That will be atonement for my attacking you!!
Suguru: Terry!!
Shogun: Well! I won’t be a gentleman in letting you have practice time for your new technique!!
Shogun: The match between you and me will start immediately!!
Meat: Th…that’s! Prince just finished a match and is tired. He needs time to rest his body!!
Shogun: I won’t let him! Buffaloman, drag Kinnikuman into the ring!!

53.
Meat: Don’t! You won’t get a step closer!!
Buffalo: Go, Kinnikuman!
Suguru: Eh!?
Buffalo: As I promised back then, I’m joining your Justice Choujin team!!
Suguru: Buffaloman!!
Shogun: Have…you lost your mind, Buffaloman?
Buffalo: I am sane!!
Shogun: You—did you forget my favor of reviving your once-dead body--!!
Buffalo: I haven’t forgotten! Therefore, I became Ashuraman’s second and was a staff officer for defeating Kinnikuman for just that match!!
Shogun: So then, it was just for one match from the start…

54.
Buffalo: Yes! When that one match in being a Devil was over
Buffalo: I planned to be reborn as a Justice Choujin!!
Buffalo: Go~~Kinnikuman! I’ll take over here until you perfect the Kinniku Driver!!
Suguru: O—K! We’ll return quickly, Buffaloman!!

TN: And thus, finally, Buffaloman proves his true, new loyalty to Suguru and the Justice Choujin! (while proving...yeah, maybe he needs to join a hair club) Meanwhile, aside from the whole thing about whether it was Suguru (or King Kamehame) who invented the Kinniku Buster in the first place, I really liked the speech about "eventually all techniques will find a way out and therefore they must grow and adapt to survive in fighting". It's a natural fact: nothing is invincible and therefore they have to prepare to fight when their former move has been solved. And speaking of new moves, what about that Kinniku Driver!?...well OK it isn't perfect yet but what about it, it's finally been revealed and...hopefully it will be ready by the time Akuma Shogun gets his fight. Finally, a final tribute to poor Ashuraman...yeah, he'll be back, but the guy gave his all to destroy the Kinniku Buster so Buffaloman was right that he deserved more respect in his end.
