Chapter 226: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (18): Little Box of the Devils!!

25.
Announcer: Because of the Missionaries Cross Bomber, Robin Mask’s mask has been ripped off---!!

26.
Buffalo: It’s…removed…………!!
Suguru: This…is the first I’ve seen it.
Terry: Robin Mask’s real face!!
Announcer: The face of Robin Mask, who has been intimate with Maskmen for a long time, has been exposed to the world---!!
Neptune: I have no interest in Robin Mask’s real face! My interest is…
Neptune: Just Choujin masks!!

27.
Neptune: Uwa—hahaha: see! Even if the wide world has that, these are mine alone!! The masks of big guns Robin Mask and Warsman are in my collection!!
Announcer: This…is a big upset! The Missionaries, who haven’t even raised a rumor prior to the tournament, have taken down the front favorite Choujin Teacher/Student Combo!!
Suguru: Those…dreadful…
Everyone: Missionaries!!

28.
Neptune: Ri—ght, Budo. Make their real faces closer to see to everyone in the audience.
Budo: Right.
Suguru: Wh…what are they thinking!!
Budo: Look carefully!
Suguru: Ha.
Suguru: St…stop---!!
Budo: At the faces of the Choujin Teacher/Student Combo!!

29.
Everyone: !
Everyone: Kya—
Announcer: Robin Mask and Warsman have been pushed from Tournament Mountain---!!
Kamehame: ………!!

30.
Suguru: Gr…Great!!
Announcer: A splendid catch by Kinnikuman Great in front of the falling Robin Mask and Warsman--!!
Suguru: Great

31.
Photographers: We’ve got Robin’s real face---!!
Photographers: This is the big scoop of the century!! He’s unequally handsome under that mask---!!
Photographer: Pl…please! Pardon me for the photo.
Neptune: Fufufufu…humans are cruel beings……
Robin: Stop—
Suguru: Un…forgivable! They’re taking pictures of Robin’s real face…

32.
Suguru: As a Maskman like him, I say it’s unforgivable!!
Photographers: Uwa—
Mayumi & Meat: We’ll help too.
Brocken & Wolf: We won’t sleep on this either!
Suguru: Well, Robin, this is for your face!
Robin: I…I was mistaken…to compete my abilities against my wonderful friends…we couldn’t bring our power together after all…

33.
Sunshine: What’s happening, Ashuraman! We should have stolen the friendship from the Justice Choujin!
Ashura: Has the stolen friendship accidentally awoken…
Ashura: Ka—kakakaka, we were worried! All the Justice Choujin dolls are looking away from each other! Thus this means that the Justice Choujin’s friendship has yet to be restored!
Ashura: Uh.

34.
Ashura: Ge
Ashura: Ge----Of the 9 dolls, the Choujin Friendship of 5 of them have been restored---!!
Ashura: Well, they’re relations have become well!
Sunshine: But this is still favorable for us.

35.
Sunshine: Terryman’s friendship hasn’t been restored!!
Suguru: He—y, Terry, we’re short you! You should help us too!!
Suguru: What’s wrong, Terry? Didn’t you hear me---!!
Terry: I heard you, Kinnikuman! But I can’t help out Robin!
Suguru: Wh…what? Don’t similar Justice Choujin allies help each other in crisis!!

36.
Terry: I can’t help! Robin Mask was defeated by the force of Neptuneman and his mask was taken! Isn’t it natural that the loser is exposed in shame?
Suguru: What—I’m not asking anymore. Geronimo, you should help Robin…
Geronimo: I’m of the same opinion as Terryman!
Suguru: Terry, you’ve been the most kind within the Justice Choujin……
Terry: It’s thanks to this optimistic sentiment called “kindness” that I’ve committed errors twice until now.

37.
Terry: The first was during the first Choujin Olympics! I got hurt in the leg so I could save you from Kinkotsuman’s rifle and my result was 3rd Place!!
Terry: The second was during the second Choujin Olympics Bullet Train Attack contest! I was disqualified because I saved a puppy!!
(TN: Not sure whether to use “shinkansen” or “bullet train”, since both are legit)
Terry: However, I’ve been thinking watching Neptuneman’s uncompromising fight! I won’t commit an error anymore!! I’ve become New Terryman, have thrown away my friendship and I’m running towards the Tag Championship with Geronimo!!
Suguru: Yo…you~~
Suguru: How dare you speak like that----

38.
Terry: Let’s do it—
Kamehame: Won’t you stop, Kinnikuman!
Suguru: Let go, Great!!
Kamehame: I can’t say now which opinion is correct!! But, by the end of the tournament, I’m sure we’ll get the answer.
Terry: ……………
Terry: This answer will be interesting, Great!!

39.
Announcer: Will we see our first showdown between Kinnikuman and Terryman---!!
Terry: Shall we go, Geronimo!
Suguru: You—running away—
Kamehame: ………!!
Suguru: Something wrong, Great!
Kamehame: It…seems my catch of Robin and Warsman earlier has damaged my knees!

40.
Announcer: Well, the first round has finally reached its final card, as we turn towards the destined showdown of the New Machineguns and the Stray-Devil Choujin Combo!

41.

Sunshine: ………!!
Terry & Geronimo: Dorya---!!
Announcer: This is unusual! The clean fight meriting Terryman and Geronimo have struck before the gong--!!

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

TN: You already know it's not going to end well for Terry from the moment he starts fighting dirty, even if it is the Devil Choujin. Somehow his "action" against Ashuraman & Sunshine with Geronimo is too reminiscent of his fight with Robin Mask way back in the Choujin Olympics: he starts fighting dirty, things screw up, he loses and learns a lesson. The good news is at least they did remember the whole "Terry gets shot in the leg" bit but somehow it really hasn't mattered to the story in years so it's not like it really was going to lead to much aside from reminding me of his Robin Mask fight. Speaking of the Brit, as well intentioned as protecting Robin's identity was, the way that Suguru's group did it and the whole crap with the "friendship power" in the box was just cheesy as heck. I get the intention (even if Robin brought it on himself), but it really should have been done another way.
