Kinnikuman 227

Just before the start of the final match of the first round of the tag tournament, the New Machineguns strike the Stray Devil Combo without delay! Will these dirty tactics really be enough or the right way to handle Ashuraman and Sunshine!?

Chapter 227: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (19): Doing Evil to Evil!!

43.
Announcer: With a surprise attack by Terryman and Geronimo before the gong, the Stray-Devil Choujin Combo is down---!!
Suguru: It…can’t be. The clean fight meriting Terryman…have struck before the gong!
Announcer: Now the gong rings---!!
Terry: Our transformation will continue even after the gong!!

44.
Terry: You win against devils only by fighting like a devil!!
Announcer: Terryman is strangling Ashuraman with a bandage---!!

45.
Announcer: As if they’ve switched places with devils, Terryman’s dirty fight continues!!
Ashura: Gya—
Suguru: Strange! What is this New Terryman? I’ve got to hit his big mouth. Comparatively, isn’t doing that just a foul attack!!
Suguru: A—ah! I’m relieved that I’ve cancelled my tag team with Terryman!!
Ashura: Ri…right. As Kinnikuman said!! You’re more evil than devils…
Ashura: You big heretic!!
Suguru: Great, Ashuraman.

46.
Ashura: You were able to run once, giving a ring out to both of us. You can’t run anymore!!
Announcer: Ashuraman’s six arms has raised up Terryman for a Body Slam---!!
Ashura: My arms are 3 times greater with 6 of them! Thus, this Body Slam will have three times the destructive power!
Ashura: Triple Body Slam!!
Terry: You think I’m the Terryman I was until now---!!
Ashura: Ge!!
Ashura: …………

47.
Announcer: Terryman is successful---!!
Ashura: Uwa
Ashura: Uh.
Announcer: And without delay, he’s put him in a Japanese Leg Roll Hold----!!
Ashura: Do…do you think that you can use this type of attack on me!?
Terry: I don’t think so! Thus we’ll continue with this!!
Terry: Hey, Gero!!
Geronimo: Urara—

48.
Announcer: Geronimo is jumping on top of Terryman’s bridge—
Geronimo: Urara--!!
Ashura: Gya—
Buffalo: The destructive power added to the Leg Roll Hold by throwing on Geronimo’s weight onto Terryman’s bridge is a terrible combination!!
Suguru: Hmph, this is a circus.
Announcer: Well, surprisingly, the Stray-Devil Combo is in their greatest pinch---!!
Sunshine: Guofuofuo, you two won’t do what you like anymore.
Announcer: Well, the Stray Devil Combo has switched from Ashuraman to the giant Sunshine!!

49.
Terry: Right, you’ve fought Sunshine once and you can wear him down!
Terry: Go, Geronimo!!
Announcer: Well, the New Machineguns have also switched from Terryman to Geronimo!!
Sunshine: I’ve made a mistake with you once and was taken down on the canvas, but that won’t happen this time!!

50.
Terry: This…is wrong! The Sunshine who Geronimo defeated a year ago…has greatly powered up!! But Geronimo is…
Sunshine: You seem to have been reborn from a human to a Choujin!
Sunshine: Haven’t you tested that power!!
Announcer: Sunshine has swung Geronimo to the rope—
Sunshine: Guoo—

51.
Announcer: And now a 20-Character Kick---!!
Sunshine: Guooo—
Sunshine: ………
Announcer: But Geronimo has skillfully gotten behind his back!!
Geronimo: Urara—
Sunshine: Uwa
Geronimo: Urara—
Announcer: Well the burden is too heavy for Geronimo’s physical strength to lift the powered-up Sunshine after all!!

52.
Geronimo: Urara—
Suguru: Ge—they’re…floating!!
Announcer: Ooh, Geronimo’s greatest jump here has struck the top of Sunshine’s head on the rear iron poll with a Back Drop--!!
Suguru: This is Geronimo’s Choujin power--!!
Geronimo: My power up has surpassed yours!

53.
Sunshine: Well really!
Sunshine: Did you forget that my body can become sand!
Terry: You weren’t prepared, Geronimo!!
Geronimo: Eh!?
Geronimo: ………
Terry: Below, Geronimo!!
Geronimo: Uwa

54.
Terry: Your habits from when you were human weren’t taken out---Geronimo!! You have to calm down first for a situation like this. When you do, use you Choujin instinct and you’ll sense your opponent’s worry.
Geronimo: Ye…yes.
Terry: If he were here now
Suguru: Ge
Suguru: Burning Inner Strength!!
Suguru: Sorya—
Terry: No, no! I’ve split from him and formed the New Machineguns so I could test my own power!!

55.
Suguru: He—y, Terryman. What if you teamed up with me!
Terry: Sh…shut up!! I’m going to win this tournament without borrowing your power!!
Terry: Out of the way!! My turn!
Ashura: Hey! Sunshine, switch!!
Ashura: Ashura Face!
Ashura: Angry!!
Ashura: Take this—Tornado Hell---!!

56.
Terry: Uwa—
Geronimo: Terry—
Announcer: Ashuraman’s 6 arms attack Terryman with a created tornado--!!
Ashura: Kakaka—Terryman is going from burn to burn with his rivalry with Kinnikuman. We’ll be able to cook up the New Machineguns easily.
Ashura: I say that thanks to the stolen friendship between Kinnikuman and Terryman!
Ashura: Kakaka…
Sunshine: Guo fuo fuo…
Kamehame: N!? The box those devils have……it may be connected to the Justice Choujin’s friendship…!!

57.
Geronimo: Are you alright, Terryman!?
Terry: I’m...fine!!
Terry: While we’re at it, Geronimo, these things called Choujin shouldn’t merely attack, even as they take an opponent’s attack!! Your capture method shouldn’t be thought up while you’re in pain!
Geronimo: I…did.
Terry: Aah, I’ve got it!! A way we can destroy that Tornado Hell as well as roundup the Stray-Devil Combo.
Geronimo: Un...derstood!!
Terry: Let’s go, Geronimo!! Devil exterminating!
Geronimo: Urara—
Terry: Wh…what!!
Announcer: The New Machinegun’s Two-Platoon Arm Breaker have broken two of Ashuraman’s arms--!!

58.
Ashura: Kakakaka—you’ve broken two of my many arms, but as I have four arms left, that’s enough to cause a tornado---!!
Ashura: Tornado Hell!!
Terry: Well…then, his tornado is smaller than with 6 arms!!
Terry: So then we’ll return it!!
Terry: Since we have four arms too---!!

59.
Terry: Tornado Hell Return--!!
Ashura: Uwa—
Sunshine: Gya—
Kamehame: N—o!! Terryman’s team has blown away his own destiny along with the devils---!!

TN: Alright, let's get this straight: I know that Suguru and the others "turning around" techniques by doing the same thing as an opponent is sort of standard by now. Wrestling moves when figured out can easily be manipulated by fellow wrestlers, Choujin or otherwise. But...I really don't get how the heck Terry and Geronimo standing on top of one another can just create their own Tornado Hell! Considering that technique is essentially Ashuraman's pride and joy, his own of the hells used way back in the Gold Mask fight, how in the world (or maybe "why in the world") could they do it? Is it just that anyone with multiple arms can create tornados out of nothing? Aside from that, for once you sort of feel sorry for the devils, who for once are playing by the rules (aside from the "stealing friendship" nonsense, which still feels like a plot of a Care Bears episode) while Terry and Geronimo are on the attack. My only real concern for the chapter: how the heck did Sunshine power up considering he looks the exact same as before? (my only excuse: maybe somehow he took in a bit of Goldman's power when fused with the others to become Akuma Shogun...but that doesn't explain why the same hadn't happened to Ashuraman)
