Kinnikuman 230

The alliance of Terryman and Kinnikuman, strained by recent events, has finally returned to full force! Will this be the edge to allow the New Machineguns to take over the match...or can the Stray Devil Combo use it to their advantage?

Chapter 230: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (22): Friendship Restored!!

91.
Suguru: For the moment, our quarrel is on truce! I’ll loan my power, Terryman.
Terry: Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: Behind, Terry. Spinning Knee Pat!!
Sunshine: Guoo—
Suguru: Front this time!!

92.
Suguru: Fling him with a Shoulder Through---!!

93.
Announcer: Whatever’s going on, Terryman’s movements have suddenly changed and gotten better---!!
Terry: Well, devil, I’ll go at you wherever you come from---!!
Geronimo: Terryman is shi…shining…from Kinnikuman’s words!
Ashura: S**t—
Sunshine: Guo
Suguru: Terryman Jump---!!

94.
Sunshine: Impudent fool—
Terry: Uwa.
Suguru: Doesn’t a man always send a hit to an opponent. Return it back, Terryman!
Suguru: There! Hook. Straight!! Upper.
Announcer: Terryman is sending a great fierce attack to the Stray Devil Combo on his own---!!
Geronimo: How do Kinnikuman and Terryman, who just seem to be fighting, somehow have such magnificent teamwork…

95.
Geronimo: Clearly I can’t accurately take the advice Terryman gives a bit! Their many years working together allows those two to be able, thus, to view themselves as rivals and as allies who compete by increase their techniques.
Geronimo: Those two just quarrel, but……
Suguru: Yossha—
Suguru: End it…………

96.
Suguru: With a Texas Clover Hold!!
Announcer: Terryman is finishing it with a Texas Clover Hold, which he was studying before for this tournament--!!
Sunshine: Gyaaa—
Mayumi: He did it—If Terryman decides it with his finishing move, then naturally the match is over too.
Meat: Prince—you’ve fought long, but in the end, justice will win--!!
Terry: How’s that—Sunshine? As long as you don’t give up, I won’t let go of your legs—

97.
Announcer: Well, Terry quickly is encouraging Sunshine with the force to break his legs---!!
Terry: Sunshine, you’ve done well! No one will complain even if you give up!!
Sunshine: I…give…
Suguru: Ooh!! Sunshine’s giving up!!
Sunshine: Gi…Give u
Ashura: Hold on—A Devil Choujin never gives up!!
Terry: Ge
Ashura: If this was a single match, you could KO Sunshine with your Texas Clover Hold. But unfortunately, this is a tag match. You were overdreaming that you were a combo with Kinnikuman, completely forgetting your original tag partner Geronimo!
Terry: Geronimo…!!

98.
Mayumi: Ooh!! Isn’t that the Ashura Buster that Suguru defeated!!
Suguru: N…no, you’re wrong. The Ashura Buster I defeated had an escape route in the neck area that wasn’t held by Ashuraman’s 6 arms……
Suguru: That Ashura Buster has even the neck area, which was the only escape route, completely sealed off! He…he can’t get away at all!!
Ashura: This is the Improved Ashura Buster----!!
(TN: The full attack actually uses “Kairyou”, which is Japanese for “reformed” or “improved”.)

99.
Terry: Im…Improved Ashura Buster.
Ashura: After you defeated me, I continued to improve along with Sunshine. Further, I’ve finally perfected this Improved Ashura Buster.
Terry: So what do you want me to do?
Ashura: Wh—at, it’s not hard: just a hostage exchange. Your Sunshine for my Geronimo!
Announcer: He’s demanding him to hand over Sunshine of the Stray Devil Choujin side, who was on the verge of giving up---!!
Terry: If I release my Texas Clover Hold now, I won’t have another chance to corner a devil to give up again…
Terry: However, for Geronimo to take an Improved Ashura Buster due to that makes an impossible comeback inescapable!
Geronimo: Terry, never let go of that Clover Hold! Don’t care what happens to me!!
Terry: Gero!!

100.
Caption: OTHER SIDE OF TOURNAMENT MOUNTAIN—
Kamehame: Uwa
Kamehame: Te…Terryman, you have to delay him somehow until I get there…You must never let go of that technique!!
Geronimo: Terry, what are you doing! Hurry and break Sunshine’s leg!!
Terry: Al…right!!
Sunshine: Gyaa—
Ashura: Terryman, I’m serious!!
Ashura: Ashura Face: Angry!!
Terry: Ho…Hold on, Ashuraman!!

101.
Terry: Ashuraman, is it the truth…can I truly save Geronimo if I let go of this technique!
Geronimo: Terryman, hurry. Don’t worry about me—
Ashura: No!! Your actions now have changed my mind…!!
Ashura: My condition for saving Geronimo is the surrender of your New Machineguns!!
Audience: EEH
Ashura: Further, if you’re interested, you’ll prove your surrender by tearing off the star marks shining on your arms that prove your fighting spirit!
Terry: Th…these star marks!!

102.
Geronimo: That’s absurd—Terryman, don’t go with his request--!!
Terry: Whether it’s absurd or what, you’ll be killed if I don’t go with his request!
Announcer: Terryman has undone his Texas Clover Hold--!!
Sunshine: Fu, that was close!!
Suguru: Te…Terry!!
Geronimo: Why—that was for useless me!!
Terry: Don’t deprecate yourself like that!! Geronimo……
Geronimo: I’ve realized it!! I’ve seen the combination of you and Kinnikuman……
Geronimo: I’m really too inexperienced to serve as Terryman’s tag partner!

103.
Geronimo: If Terryman can even use the death of useless me, then I’m resolved to die!!
Geronimo: So then why did you get out of your technique---!!
Terry: Even if you are useless
Terry: In the end, you are my valuable tag partner!
Geronimo: Terry!!
Suguru: Th…that idiot!!
Announcer: With the surrender of the New Machineguns, the Stray Devil Combo has achieved going to the second round in the 4th match of the Choujin Tag Tournament—

104.
Sunshine: Guofofuo, you’ve been caught, Terryman!
Terry: Wh…what…isn’t the match over!!
Ashura: Ka—kakakaka, we devils take no account for the results of the match from the start!!
Terry: Aah!!
Terry: Gero--!!
Ashura: Improved Ashura Buster--!!

105.
Sunshine: Guofuofuo, Terry, we’ll immediately do the same we did to Geronimo!
Terry: Uwa
Sunshine: Cursed Roller!!
Suguru: Terryman!!
Voice: Hold on----!!

(DREAM CHOUJIN TAG ARC)
SPECIAL VTR XI
TERRYMAN VS. SUNSHINE

TN: I think there's a moral to this chapter: just because you were allies with one person in the audience doesn't mean that you should just up and abandon your tag partner in the middle of the match! The obvious "attraction" between Terry and Suguru was obvious this time around, but said thing ended up leading to Geronimo doubting himself, Terry not turning to switch with him, and ultimately the defeat of the New Machineguns! I don't know what's worse: Geronimo's whining, Terry's humiliation, or the crap that keeps going on and on regarding the "destiny" that Kamehame is still climbing the mountain for. The truth is this: never trust a Devil Choujin, no matter what they said. On the other hand...it was neat seeing the Improved Ashura Buster, let alone the possibilities of Terry's improved Texas Clover Hold...and to think Sunshine almost ended the match that easily.
