Kinnikuman 223

Robin Mask has unleashed the power of his Robin Special, with his eye still on Neptuneman! But with the stubborn Hell Missionary still avoiding the ring, is there a strategy that can allow for the clash of British Choujin?

Chapter 223: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (15): Surprise Attack! Robin’s Strategy!!

148.
Announcer: Robin Mask’s Robin Special, the illusionary special technique preserved for four years, has made Big the Budo’s large body explode---!!
Suguru: Th…this is the Robin Special!!
Terry: Though it’s extremely rough to just throw an opponent with an Airplane Spin and having them drop
Terry: The Robin Special has him catching the neck of the falling enemy with his own legs, presenting an all the more greater impact to the opponent from the acceleration due to the weight!!
Kamehame: If there was one mistake in the Robin Special, it’s that it’s a risky technique that presents a danger of massive self-destruction…just for that, it can’t be done by that kind of Choujin!!
Suguru: Since its Robin Mask, this is his miracle hold.

149.
Suguru: If then Robin used that technique on me in the championship rig of the Choujin Olympics 4 years ago…
Suguru: I’m…scared~~
Tazahana: Hey, hey.
Neptune: Fufufufufu, as expected of Robin Mask!
Neptune: I thought that this illusionary deadly technique wasn’t an ordinary deadly technique but…
Announcer: Neptuneman, who completely refused to have a showdown with Robin Mask from the gong until now, is finally descending into the ring!!
Robin: This Kenkaman is one who hadn’t seen my new deadly technique and he’s gone to and fro in amazement with the deadly technique before his eyes. He’s a man who isn’t satisfied in not destroying this technique with his own hands.
Neptune: Fu…but, your only reason was your recklessness in scolding me for being Kenkaman! You have quite the confidence in your Robin Special……

150.
Neptune: It didn’t work on Big the Budo even a bit.
Announcer: The Robin Special didn’t take down Big the Budo--!!
Wars: Robin Mask!
Robin: Don’t get confused, Warsman. I didn’t take down Budo on purpose!
Budo: On…purpose!?
Robin: Budo has the strength left to just tag you in!
Neptune: This…guy.

151.
Neptune: OK, let’s switch, Budo!
Robin: Yes, it’s come to this.
Robin: Because the perfect Robin Special was reserved for you!
Audience: Go--!! Robin! Do it, Warsman!

152.
Robin: Grappling with him is the only way that I can reveal whether or not his true form really is Kenkaman!!
Robin: I’ve only grappled with him once, but how can I forget the sensation that started with the heaviness and seriousness on those shoulders!
Robin: Prepare yourself---!!
Robin: Neptuneman!!
Robin: !?
Robin: ………!!

153.
Neptune: Neptune Sliding!!
Robin: Uwa
Neptune: Can that be sold wholesale!
Robin: How…how do you know!!
Neptune: That’s obvious: I have all the insights on the thoughts of all you inferior Choujin.
Robin: Yo…you.
Robin: Really
Robin: Have revealed yourself to be scared---!!
Announcer: Robin’s helmet horn has stabbed Neptune’s face---!!

154.
Robin: A chance!!
Announcer: Robin Mask is facing him once again--!!
Robin: Uh.
Neptune: Soft!!
Announcer: But Neptuneman returns it with a Front Suplex---!!
Wars: Has he failed again!

155.
Robin: N…no!! Whatever I use, I can’t hold on to him!
Robin: Right: I can’t hold on to him from my method of joining him and joining him…so then, conversely, if I can tempt him to must grapple me…
Robin: Got it!
Wars: No…no guard!?

156.
Robin: I can’t help that you can read ahead with whatever tactic I use! Neptuneman, I won’t struggle. Make me how you want!
Neptune: His arms are lowered…So a Front Suplex now will damage Robin Mask’s arms!
Neptune: So then I’ll make you
Neptune: As I wish!!
Robin: Uwa—
Announcer: An Arm Breaker--!!
Robin: No…now, the next!

157.
Announcer: Robin Mask isn’t able to handle Neptune’s force and has completely thrown away the match--!!
Wars: Ro…Robin, this isn’t like you at all--!! Don’t throw your wish away to the end—
Neptune: Now the right arm!
Robin: Uwa—
Wars: ………!!
Wars: It’s on purpose! Robin Mask hasn’t thrown the match. He’s purposely having Neptune attack his arms. Bu…but, why…!?
Neptune: With your arms perfectly becoming unusable, I have one more thing……
Neptune: Let’s end this---!!

158.
Robin: I’ve waited
Robin: For this moment!!
Neptune: …………!!
Suguru: Ro…Robin Mask and Neptuneman are……
Wars: Gr…grappling!!
Geronimo: He’s…done it!!

159.
Robin: You’ve attacked your opponent’s weak point, but if the fight has rules, a Perfect Choujin like you should perfectly protect these rules!
Neptune: Ho…how could you measure that………!!
Wars: Right, of course.
Robin: Fufufu…this thud and this sensation of heaviness leaning on my shoulders…
Robin: No mistake!! You really are Kenkaman--!!
Neptune: …………!!
Neptune: Kukukuku.
Neptune: Right, my true form is your rival, Kenkaman!

160.
Announcer: Neptuneman has finally acknowledged his true form to the audience--!!
Suguru: There wasn’t confusion in Robin’s eyes after all.
Neptune: I wanted to say “it’s been a while Robin”, but greater than knowing my identity, the problem is that you’re alive for a second!
Robin: Uuh…
Wars: Ro…Robin!!
Neptune: With my identity search greater than inevitable, you don’t have strength left to just fight me!

161.
Neptune: You’re a regular inferior Choujin after all!
Announcer: Neptuneman’s blow is the position for his deadly Quarrel Special--!!
Robin: Uh.
Robin: ………!!
Robin: Wa…Warsman…!?
Wars: I…I’ve given your scorn for many times during this match, but

162.
Wars: You really are the greatest…
Robin: Wars…
Wars: You’ve done enough with your work to reveal his identity. Now leave this to me!
Neptune: You’re annoying, die--!!
Neptune: Th….this is…!?
Wars: Sorry, those are my Bear Claws.
Wars: It’s possible to dismantle them!

163.
Wars: Palo Special!!
Announcer: Warsman treasured trump card, the Palo Special, has hit Neptuneman--!!
Neptune: Nuoo…
Wars: ………!!
Neptune: Does this inferior Choujin combo intend to stubbornly anger me--!!

164.
Wars: S**t!
Wars: Ha, while you say that, earlier…
Neptune: Dummy! You don’t have your Bear Claws…
Wars: Awawa…
Neptune: How then do you plan to fight me---!!
Wars: Uwa---!!
Announcer: Warsman has been pierced by Neptune’s vest spikes---!!

165.
Neptune: Take this---!!
Neptune: Nose Dive---!!
Neptune: Double Leg Suplex!!
Suguru: Wa…
Robin: Warsman!!

(DREAM CHOUJIN TAG ARC)
SPECIAL VTR VII
ROBIN MASK VS. NEPTUNEMAN

TN: Neptuneman really did have the weirdest of strategies that somehow worked: deny being Kenkaman forever until Robin confirmed it for himself, then he'll be so tired that he can't do anything more to him. Somehow...it worked, but its weird to see that was the whole intention. If he just confirmed it in the first place, it probably wouldn't have occurred as such. Regardless, I still don't like Robin's whining in this chapter, Neptuneman is still annoying, and Big the Budo was just...there. Though I do feel sorry for Warsman: once again he gets shafted for the sake of the storyline. Though his sacrifice of his Bear Claws to get a Palo Special in was really cool regardless of it not really working to his advantage...
