Kinnikuman 238

With another miraculous and unexpected move, Suguru has provided himself and Great the means to defeat the evil spirits within Ashuraman's Hell Canvas! But just because they found a way to defeat ghosts...doesn't mean they're all pushovers!

Chapter 238: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (30): Young Noble of the Devil World!!

48.
Announcer: The Muscle Brothers are now plastering the evil spirits who are weak to purifying salt to the canvas with Muscle Rolling!!
Khamen & Atlantis: Ugyaa~~
Suguru: Guaa~~~

49.
Ashura: It…can’t be, Kinnikuman is alive…
Meat: Prince—you pretended to make us think you died---!!
Mayumi: Do you see—Feigning sleep is an essential killer technique transmitted down for generations in the Kinniku Clan—
Brocken: I believed in you, Kinnikuman!!

50.
Suguru: Rolling U-Turn!!
Ninja: Guwa
Junk: Guhe
Planet: Gyaa~~
Sneagator: Guwa—

51.
Ashura: What are you doing, evil spirits? At this rate, all of you will be annihilated!!
Sunshine: Mountain, Stecase King, do something—
Mountain: This is our final working chance to finally stay on the surface……I don’t want to return to that cold, dark hell!
Stecase: If…if we can just defeat the Muscle Brothers……!!
Stecase: Uga—
Announcer: The remaining two evil spirits are straining the last of their power to counter the Muscle Brothers—

52.
Suguru: There
Suguru: Now!!
Stecase: Gya—
Audience: Yes—just one more----!!
Mayumi: Geee----

53.
Suguru: He….he stopped the Muscle Rolling----!!
Everyone: AAH…
Ashura: Ye—s, you’ve done well Mountain. Thus we’ve decided to promote you from an evil spirit to the Devil Choujin----!!
Sunshine: Hold on to those two now and crush them-----!!
Mountain: Thanks for those words……Kinnikuman and Great! Die!!
Audience: Ooh.

54.
Suguru: We don’t care; we can spin like this—
Mountain: Ugya—
Mountain: Gya—
Mountain: Gyaa—
Announcer: The evil spirits of the Hell Canvas have completely been sealed into the original canvas----!!

55.
Ashura: You were no good again!
Ashura: The only thing we can rely on is our own power after all—
Sunshine: Ge
Suguru & Terry: Double Condor Kick!!

56.
Announcer: Ashuraman has clumsily fallen out of the ring----!!
Suguru: Gyahaha, how’s that? Your evil spirits now understand the greatness of our friendship power---!!
Neptune: Fu…Ashuraman, I thought you were a bit more of a Choujin of spirit, but clearly I’ve exhausted my courtesy. This is the end of our united front with the devils!!
Budo: You may want to sleep forever here, but as we know, this match is a Lumberjack Deathmatch!
Budo: An opponent who has fallen out of the ring must be returned to the ring by the Choujin Fence, even if it’s by force!!
Ashura: I’ll get up on my own—
Announcer: Ashuraman has yet to bend to the Justice Choujin’s friendship power!!

57.
Suguru: Though I’ve gotten the better of Ramenman, Warsman, Buffaloman and innumerable amount of heinous Choujin with friendship power, it’s only the heart of Ashuraman that won’t melt with our friendship power!!
Ashura: Fu…even among devils, those who are midway between Justice Choujin and Devil Choujin like Buffaloman have remaining a thing called a conscious, but…
Ashura: One born as a devil like me doesn’t have a fragment of conscious---!!
Announcer: All of Ashuraman’s faces have become Angry Faces----!!
Suguru: Wh…what does it mean to be born a devil?
Ashura: Kinnikuman, you are the prince of the Kinniku Clan in the Justice Choujin. Thus, if there are Justice Choujin elite…

58.
Ashura: Then I, as Makai prince, am Devil Choujin elite!!
(TN: I’m really not sure how to make “Makai” in this case, whether to translate it or not due to it’s status in so many other manga and anime, but essentially the “makai” is a world where many of the “yokai” Japanese spirits come from in their culture. Usually it’s translated as “Demon World”, but for the moment I’m leaving it as “Makai”)
Ashura Dad: Well, Ashura. There are things in this world called justice and friendship, but those things are make-believe!
Ashura Mom: People aren’t beings of love, they’re beings of hate! Don’t believe in people. The thing you rely on is just your own power!!
Ashura: Babu babu

59.
Suguru: I think this Ashuraman isn’t a normal Choujin, but is actually a hardcore devil---!!
Ashura: Hey, Sunshine, Hell Combination Part IV!!
Sunshine: Got it.
Terry: The…Cursed Roller!!
Terry: ………!?
Announcer: Sunshine is facing towards Ashuraman with his Cursed Roller----!!
Ashura: Daa—
Terry: Ge—Ashuraman has jumped into the Cursed Roller----!!
Suguru: Wouldn’t it be weird if he attacks with his head?

60.
Ashura: Ka—kakaka
Ashura: If you thought that the Cursed Roller is a tool for only destroying bodies, then you’re greatly mistaken!!
Terry: What—
Ashura: Sunshine, maximize the roller’s rotation---!!
Sunshine: Right!!

61.
Ashura: Ashura Fire Bullet---!!
(TN: A bit of a note: the actual term for the attack is “Ashura Kagyokudan”, with the “Kagyoku” being Japanese for “fireball”, with the ending “dan” standing for “bullet” or “snap”…it could also be “Ashura Fireball Snap” I guess due to the next line)
Announcer: Ashuraman’s body has snapped from the roller with incredible force!!
Suguru: Owa—
Terry: Are you OK, Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: My…back…
Ashura: Out of the way!! I’ll deal with you later, Great. Now I’m going to bring an end to Kinnikuman----!!

62.
Ashura: Ashura Fire Bullet!!
Announcer: Will this be the end of Kinnikuman----!!
Ashura: Ka—kakaka, if you want to preserve friendship, then I’ll take your life without reservation—
Audience: Great—

63.
Terry: Fufufufu. Ashuraman, my heart is here. Sorry but you were off!!
Ashura: Actually I wasn’t going to take your life, but steal the life of the Muscle Brother’s friendship power!!
Terry: Steal friendship power!?
Suguru: Gr…Great, I know that your skin color should actually be brown!!
Suguru: So then, isn’t the skin color I see under your body suit white!!
Terry: Da…damn!!

64.
Suguru: Yo…you’re not Kamehame. Who then are you!!
Terry: Hold on, Kinnikuman, there’s a reason…!!
Ashura: Ashura Fire Bullet!!
Terry: Uwa—
Suguru: Owa
Ashura: Kakakaka, this is what happens from showing off your stupid friendship!
Ashura: What do you think will happen when comrades with needles in them run into each other!!
Mayumi: By…doing that, those needles will make their left chest mutually…in other words, they’ll stab each others hearts-----!!

65.
Ashura: There
Sunshine: Here
Ashura & Sunshine: It’s a Makai execution method—

TN: I sort of feel ashamed with this chapter: I actually finished it yesterday and had it all ready to put up, but somehow the means by which I get my translation didn't kick in until today! (it's been fixed since but I do wonder sometimes) As for the chapter itself...well, Ashuraman has parents...that's unexpected. Yeah, I know it should be a big deal because it connects him to Suguru, but seeing a grumpy old man with six arms and an evil woman and having them essentially be his mom and dad...it's just WEIRD!!!!! Another interesting facet is that after the failure of the Hell Canvas (which I still find really improbable but those types of coincidences happen all the time in Kinnikuman), Ashura and Sunshine find another way of tearing Suguru and Great/Terry apart...mistrust. Sure neither of them knew it was Terry under the outfit (and that Kamehame was...well, dead), but breaking up this "perfect friendship" is probably better to take them down mentally than physically. Oh and one more thing: I have a bizarre theory that this chapter finally explains something that happens next arc...but I won't get into it unless we get there.
