Announcer: It’s a miracle!! Kinnikuman has instantly caught the rope and has minimized the damage of the Guillotine----!!
Shogun: What!?
Shogun: My Hell Guillotine is infallible, it doesn’t fail! And he stopped it!!
Mayumi: That Suguru, he’s great at mimicking a certain-death injury—
Shogun: It…can’t be. His motor and thought abilities were weakened. The 8th vital should be completely sealed……!!

60.
Shogun: That…facial expression is the eyes of death from completely sealing his vitals.
Shogun: Kukukuku, my 8th vital seal per—fectly finished Kinnikuman. Though he dodged my Guillotine earlier, it was chance that he just caught the rope with his arm unexpectly!!
Shogun: Uwa—hahahaha
Meat: No, it can’t~~
Mongol: O—ne, Two
Shogun: He was already dead when the 8th vital was sealed…the final Hell Guillotine started his senses!!
Buffalo: As expected, Akuma Shogun!! An accurate judgement.

61.
Mongol: Five! Six
Meat & Mayumi: Prince!
Shogun: This is the end.
Shogun: …………
Suguru: Burning…
Suguru: Inner…
Suguru: Strength~~
Shogun: Wh…what is this life force!!

62.
Shogun: Why—
Shogun: Why have you risen—
Shogun: It should have ended with my 8th seal—
Suguru: Sorry.
Suguru: I’m not asleep yet.

63.
Shogun: Why—both your mind and body were supposed to be ragged, so why have you revived!!
Harabote: It’s a power unobtainable to the imagination of devils………!!
Harabote: That’s Justice Power—
Shogun: Shut u—p. First I’ll quiet you to start!!
Suguru: Uwa—
Announcer: Finally the Justice Choujin supporting the ring have run out of power and have become pinned by the ring--!!
Shogun: With…that, there aren’t any obstacles!!

64.
Suguru: …………
Shogun: Ge…Ge—does he intend to rise up again!!
Shogun: OK! My Shogun Clairvoyance will probe the source of his power!
Shogun: ……!!
Shogun: Wo…Wolfman!!
Wolf: Well, Kinnikuman, hold on to my shoulder!
Shogun: Wo…Wolfman should have died…

65.
Shogun: ……!?
Announcer: The Justice Choujin propping the ring have revived—
Shogun: Uwa
Geronimo: Well, guys, I’ll insist in helping too!!
Shogun: Ge, that’s the dead Geronimo!!
Suguru: Do you see! People like you who fight with power that’s just anger and hatred can’t use your imaginations!
Suguru: Well, do you Devil Choujin have underdogs who are wounded to death, or do you only value the abused survivors!!

66.
Suguru: But we Justice Choujin are different. Along with living Choujin, we’re connected to the friendship to the dead Wolfman and Geronimo. Though the body is destroyed, friendship is immortal!!
Shogun: Ju…Justice power…is huge! It’s too large to bear anymore.
Shogun: ………!!
Buffalo: Ooh…The Gold Mask with Shogun’s body is awakening to justice and is starting to reject the evil armor again!!
Meat: With…that, the Gold Mask’s original body is reviving!!

67.
Shogun: Uwa—it’s hot, my body is burning—
Announcer: The Gold Mask’s justice body is starting to revive from beneath the hollow armor---!!
Buffalo: Now’s your chance—Kinnikuman, now hit Akuma Shogun…no, the Gold Mask’s real body with the Kinniku Driver---!!
Shogun: Six…Six Knights! Give me something~~!! At this rate, I’ll be hit with the Kinniku Driver.
Shogun: Break his body!
Buffalo: Uh…no, they plan to reinforce him!!

68.
Buffalo: Hurry—Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: Got it.
Suguru: Ge—
Audience: Aah.

69.
Suguru: He’s…truly a devil for tearing apart his own body!!
Shogun: Gyahahaha, Evil Power seems to be greater than Justice Power after all!
Suguru: It’s…over! Without a body, he can’t take a technique!!
Buffalo: N…no, hold on. There is just one way. If he doesn’t have substance, then it’s best to create substance…………!! I’m certain that Akuma Shogun’s power is ten million power. And further, my power is also ten million power………………!!
Shogun: Now, Six Knights, become my limbs like before again!!
Knights: Haha—

70.
Buffalo: I’ll become Akuma Shogun’s body---!!
Terry & Robin: Buffaloman!!
Shogun: Ge—what are you doing, Buffaloman!
Announcer: Suddenly, Buffaloman has dived into the ring from the outside and has put on the mask of Akuma Shogun, who has lost his body—
Buffalo: Uo—this is what it is to be Akuma Shogun in mind and body---!!

71.
Ashura: N…no, return everyone!
Buffalo: I can’t run!!
Buffalo: Uwa
Buffalo: Kinnikuman, now use your Kinniku Driver!!
Suguru: Bu…Buffaloman!!

TN: You have to give Buffaloman a lot of credit in this fight: after his evil maneuvers in the previous arc, he really is doing everything he can to prove he's a Justice Choujin, even fighting off the Devil Knights so he can literally wear Akuma Shogun's helmet and allow Suguru to perform the Kinniku Driver! I know it's going to lead to a lot of "friendship" speeches soon enough, but it is just an imaginative and cool method to allow for the enemy to be taken down. Likewise I liked the "Devil Knights destroying the Goldman body" bit in showing the villain's imagination of preventing himself from having a body to take the Kinniku Driver. You can really tell that aside from some really cheesy problems (see the "Wolfman and Geronimo's spirits repop up to support everyone), Yudetamago has done a great job with this fight...which will finally end next time!
