Chapter 220: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (12): Bet on a Comeback!!

97.
“Don”: We Perfect Choujin won’t take the defeat of you two characters. Kill the 20 Million Powers even with your will!!
Kenda & Screw: Understood, Don!
Kenda & Screw: Die—
Suguru: Wa…Watch—out!!

98.
Mongol & Buffalo: ………!!
Announcer: The trespassing combo who hate all dangerous weapon attacks are recklessly going with a glass shard attack—

99.
Suguru: Run—20 Million Powers--!!
Kamehame: It’s hopeless. The duo used up their Choujin Power on the Power Up Hurricane Mixer and don’t have spare energy left to run.
Mongol: Buffaloman, leave this to me!!
Screw: Don’t worry: the two of you will be sent to that world at one time—
Mongol: Wh…why—would these Perfect Choujin proud of their cool…
Mongol: Why dangerous weapons……!!
Mongol: Uwa
Announcer: Mongolman’s face has been cut—
Buffalo: Mo…Mongolman!!

100.
“Mongol”: I’m OK. Thanks to being a masked Choujin, I can frankly take this without getting hurt……!!
Kenda: Mongolman, your true form appears to be a certain rumored Choujin.
“Mongol”: Uh.
Kenda: Kakakaka.
Screw: Sorya.
Buffalo: Uoo—
Announcer: Buffaloman is finally forced down--!!

101.
Screw: Don’t relax yet!!
Screw: You’re not standing up again!!
Suguru: Aah!! Screw Kid’s hands and knees have turned into drills--!!
Screw: To—
Mongol: Aah!!
Kenda: Do it!

102.
Screw: Take this--!!
Announcer: Screw Kid is falling, aiming to pierce Buffaloman with the drills on his hands and knees----!!
Audience: Buffaloman!!
Kenda: Yes, now it’s my turn.
Kenda: Orya—

103.
Audience: Ooh—there’s a screw thread on Screw Kid’s back!!
Announcer: Kendaman’s Press Attack has made Screw Kid’s 4 drills
Announcer: Pierce through Buffaloman’s body---!!

104.
Kenda: We’re free to end this!!
Mongol: Are you alright, Buffaloman!!
Mongol: Ooh!! A horrible thing’s been done…you shouldn’t use your arms or legs…
Buffalo: Though…I can’t use my arms and legs, I still…have this longhorn remaining!!
Mongol: Bu…Buffaloman, you plan to keep fighting!!
Buffalo: Even if there’s only a tiny chance left, to bet on it for a hope to win is the soul of a Choujin!
Mongol: OK, so then, even if we lose and die for this bet, I’ll carry you down the stairs to hell!

105.
Buffalo: Mongolman!
Kenda: Wh…what are you slugging on about. You inferior Choujin can’t do this with the many futile actions you have…!!
Mongol: I hate you eternally Perfect Choujin!!
Kenda & Screw: What!!
Mongol: Choujin who transcend all emotions and hold the spirit of gods are called Perfect Choujin, but…you can’t surpass your incarnations of anger and hatred by merely wielding glass shards!
Kenda & Screw: Uh!!
Mongol: Both of you aren’t perfect anymore. You’re devils starving for blood—
Screw: We…we’re devils………!?
“Don”: Why are you bewildered!? Shouldn’t you quickly stab and quickly finish the 20 Million Powers!!
Kenda: Understood, Don!

106.
Kenda: Uooo
Kenda: End this--!! Aim for their hearts--!!
Kenda: Sorya
Kenda: Hell Screwdriver—
Mongol: Now come, come just a bit clo—ser!!

107.
Suguru: N—o, Mongolman is intending to die with Buffaloman---!!
Kamehame: N…No, those eyes!!
Kamehame: Those aren’t the eyes of men resolved to die. They’re the eyes of men confident of victory--!!
Mongol: If we see you two as devils…
Buffalo: We’re not scared anymore.
Buffalo: That’s because devil extermination is our specialty. Because we’re Justice Choujin--!!

108.
Kenda: Die---!!
Buffalo: Longhorn Train!!
Announcer: Mongolman is thrusting towards the Hell Screwdriver carrying Buffaloman personally on his own back.

109.
Everyone: OOH…
Announcer: The 20 Million Powers Longhorn Train has won against the trespasser combo’s Hell Screwdriver---!!

110.
Screw: Pe…Perfect Choujin…
Screw: Ba…Banzai!!
Announcer: The 20 Million Powers have gained a ticket to the 2nd Round by avenging the enemies of Brocken Jr. and Wolfman---!!
Suguru: Yes—don’t mess with Justice Choujin---!!
Kamehame: Mongolman & Buffaloman…so strong. They’re not a normal tag-team at all!!
Mongol: They were strong opponents…if those two held on to their perfection, we wouldn’t have become the winners of this……
Buffalo: But why would Kendaman and Screw Kid, who held that much perfection, lose their cool? It’s as if something frightened them…

111.
Screw: Fuhyahya
Suguru: Ge…they’re still alive!
Screw: If you think the Perfect Choujin was just us, then big mistake!
Kenda: Because among the Perfect Choujin, we imperfects can’t go beyond a mere scouting party.
Screw: This tag tournament has actual boss-level Perfect Choujin participating.
Terry: Wh…what!?
Terry: Boss-level Perfect Choujin are among the members…!?
Suguru: You can’t think these emerged guys are boss-levels!!
Suguru: Hey, how long have you washed your hands of the devils and switched to Perfect Choujin?
Ashura: Hey hey, you’re not thinking carefully stupid.
Ashura: We’ve been devils who serve to inhuman ends until now! We haven’t reformed and become these “close to god existence” Perfect Choujin!

112.
HM#1: Kuo kuo kuo, so then the time has come to show our true forms!
Suguru: It…can’t be………!!
“Hulk Hogan Lookalike”: THE PERFECT CHOUJIN DONS ARE US, THE HELL MISSIONARIES!!

TN: And here they are: the Hell Missionaries duo we all know and love! Well OK...one is fully revealed as a "weird Hulk Hogan homage", but sort of think of the circumstances since 1980 before truly looking at him: back then, when "Hulk Dogan" got humiliated by Beauty Rhodes, the original was a rising wrestler who really wasn't too well known. Now, with a wave of "Hulkamania" starting to take hold in the mid-80s, it is obvious that a more menacing Hogan parody would appear in the series that just gave tribute to Terry Funk...of course, it takes some kid suggestions leading to "him", but we'll see what they are next time. (as well as more of the story on...that other weird looking guy) The chapter in itself was powerful, mostly due to both seeing the lengths that Kendaman and Screw Kid would go to for victory as well as the faith that Buffaloman and the "honor" that Mongolman hold allowing them to see the trespassers in their true, immature state instead of these "perfect" beings they claimed to be until the end. I know many people don't like Mongolman/Ramenman, but while I like his battles and attacks in general, one thing that Yudetamago seemed to keep as a consistent comment for the character was his "natural brutality" over the fake usage of weaponry...which is probably good compared to a lot of the inconsistencies this series has all the time. This trait of Mongol/Ramen always gave him more honor and more "cool" than many other Choujin. Oh...and Buffaloman's epic speech near the end and the final Longhorn Train...stuff of shonen legend! One more silly thought: was I the only one getting a Gurren-Lagann feel when Screw Kid made drills appear...in his knees? Sure he had hand drills too but knee drills just made him more stand out to comparison.
