Kinnikuman 200

By using deception, Kinnikuman has finally gotten his first blow on Akuma Shogun! But is this really going to affect the Devil Choujin...and how will Suguru keep him down long enough to get the Kinniku Driver in!?

Chapter 200: Gold Mask Arc (41): Soft-Body Choujin!!

125.
Shogun: How…could you have not done your Kinniku Driver, but camouflaged it to attack my legs……
Suguru: Even if I could tear off your legs, I want to praise Akuma Shogun for not opening his stance, as expected…
Suguru: But with your legs shut
Suguru: You can’t defeat me--!!
Shogun: Hmph…how stupid. I’m not a normal Choujin.
Shogun: As Akuma Shogun, even from any handicapped stance…

126.
Shogun: I can attack!!
Announcer: Has the Devil’s Techniques surpassed him---!!

127.
Suguru: Wh…why, why……
Shogun: Playtime is over!
Shogun: Hmph!!
Suguru: Ge! His legs are fixed!!

128.
Terry: Be careful! Kinnikuman!!
Terry: He’s been powered up 2, 3, no; times six!!
Suguru: What!!
Shogun: I knew Terryman’s eyes wouldn’t deceive him! As you know, my body is a fused body of the Six Devil Knights…If I fully release this power, then starting with my arm and leg strength to even my vision, smell and hearing are increased sixfold.
Shogun: In sort, other than my two eyes, twelve eyes are constantly surveying you with little effort!!

129.
Suguru: Ge.
Suguru: Th…this is just like facing the Six Devil Knights all alone…I can’t win…
Terry: No, you’re mistaken Kinnikuman. Even with the fused body of the six knights, the release of this power
Terry: Is the one giving orders!
Suguru: His…head…!!
Suguru: O—K!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman has caught Shogun in a Front Head Lock—
Suguru: You can’t get away. I’ll break you from the nape of the neck.
Shogun: Well, how will you do that?

130.
Announcer: It’s the special display of soft-body Choujin Akuma Shogun--!!
Audience: That’s…crazy, from that small crack!!
Announcer: Akuma Shogun is freezing Kinnikuman in a Romero Special--!!
Shogun: If my head is in a large space, then I can go in and out from any crack!
Suguru: Ke…you’re a devil. You’re using this poor technique!

131.
Shogun: Did you think this was a normal Romero Special!
Shogun: Sorya
Shogun: HELL WINDMILL
Announcer: Somehow, Akuma Shogun is revolving the Romero Special--!!
Suguru: AAH.

132.
Suguru: Owa—
Shogun: Well, don’t relax outside the ring!!
Mongol: Wait, you’re prohibited from fighting outside the ring!
Meat & Mayumi: Prince—

133.
Mongol: Sto—p.
Mongol: Help by a second to the player outside the ring is a loss by default!
Mongol: One, Two, Three
Suguru: I…I can’t win squarely with Shogun’s Six Knight Power! Somehow I can’t break off the Six Knight Power from Shogun……
Suguru: The center of his Six Knight Power is that armor that’s covering his entire body!
Suguru: If I can just tear off that white-silver armor from his body!

134.
Suguru: Uh.
Announcer: The Six Knights numerous arms have freely grabbed Kinnikuman’s body—
Announcer: And has given a Front Suplex---!!
Terry: The…Six Devil Knights are living within Shogun’s armor!!
Meat: So then, it’s impossible to remove that white-silver armor and reveal Shogun’s true form.
Suguru: It…it really isn’t impossible. I…have just one plan. However, can I use that technique yet?

135.
Shogun: Human Bullet Dive-Bomb--!!
Suguru: Uwa
Announcer: Akuma Shogun attacks Kinnikuman in no time—
Terry: Kinnikuman, Shogun seems to be bringing an end to you!!
Suguru: If…if I take that Dive-Bomb once more, I’m done…!!
Shogun: Die—

136.
Suguru: I can only use that technique!!
Audience: Aah, the Kinniku Buster!
Announcer: Kinnikuman is setting up a Kinniku Buster, which has already been defeated by Ashuraman for greater big-wheel Akuma Shogun--!!
Terry: Stop this—I know you don’t have a technique, but it’s dangerous to use the Kinniku Buster with its many reversals--!
Shogun: Kukukuku, if you think this is what you can do with your only plan, then you’re dragging out a relic of the past…

137.
Suguru: I am sane, Akuma Shogun. If you think this through now is the Kinniku Buster
Suguru: Then you’ll pay for that—
Robin & Brocken: Ooh!
Shogun: Hahahaha, that isn’t it. Isn’t this the usual Kinniku Buster!
Suguru: Well this is
Suguru: In a way.

138.
Suguru: It’s a Side Kinniku Buster!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman is flying to the side without falling below--!!

139.
Shogun: You were thinking of having an explosive Kinniku Buster not on the canvas but on the arena wall, Kinnikuman!
Shogun: Uh!
Suguru: Now show me the true body of Akuma Shogun--!!
Suguru: Ge, he…doesn’t have a body!!

(GOLD MASK ARC)
SPECIAL VTR XIII
KINNIKUMAN VS. AKUMA SHOGUN (1)

TN: Yep, the fact that the armor essentially is Akuma Shogun's body is a really freaky thing and will be explained further next time...but I guess the main talk of the chapter is how Suguru has been able to outsmart his opponent yet again by a variation of one of his trademark techniques. While it's obvious that Shogun was probably going to avoid the Kinniku Buster, using a side variation was enough of a difference to make him at least destroy part of his armor. Sure it's obviously not enough but it is a start to finishing him off. The other really weird thing about this chapter...is that Akuma Shogun seemed to use yoga moves to heal himself. I know hoe's super-flexible without a body but still...it's not everyday you get yoga in a wrestling match. (and it's not Dhalsim or anything like a couple other manga :P)
