Chapter 240: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (32): Devil Illusion!!

86.
Announcer: Kinnikuman has sealed Sunshine’s Cursed Roller using Ashuraman’s body as a wall---!!
Sunshine: Kuwa
Suguru: Great!!

87.
Ashura: Gyaaa—
Sunshine: Uwaa—
Budo: Huh?
Announcer: Ashuraman & Sunshine have fallen from the ring while being tangled----!!

88.
Mayumi: Guwahahaha, the Muscle Brothers will win this by ring out!!
Meat: No! This match is a Lumberjack Deathmatch, where it has to be concluded in the ring to the end, so we can’t have a ring out!!
Suguru: …………
Announcer: Sunshine is the first to stand of the Stray Devil Combo—
Suguru: Naturally next is Ashuraman’s turn!

89.
Sunshine: Now, I’ll lend a hand, Ashura…
Neptune: A…Ashuraman doesn’t have the three arms on his right side---!!
Suguru: Huh?
Sunshine: Wh…what then happened to those right arms?
Sunshine: Gee—

90.
Announcer: Somehow Sunshine’s Cursed Roller has torun off the arms of his ally Ashuraman—
Sunshine: Guo—those golden arms that are said to be Ashuraman’s life……What happened~~~
Terry: Su…Sunshine!
Ashura: Sunshine, you’re supposed to be a devil, so why are you worried about a person’s injuries!!
Sunshine: Bu…but
Ashura: I failed with my carelessness in this situation, since you would have stopped Great’s life with just a bit more!

91.
Ashura: Hmph…I’ve committed a great error. It’s natural that I lost my arms!!
Sunshine: Ashura…
Ashura: Are you alright, Sunshine? Before you worry at my wounds, laugh at my carelessness!! That’s being a devil!!
Sunshine: Ye…yes!! I am a cold-hearted, cruel, cool-headed………Devil Choujin---!!
Terry: If they were normal people, then it’s natural for them to want a word of thanks from their partner for bearing that kind of wound…….
Terry: But that Ashuraman truly rejects that!
Suguru: Th…this is the devil’s power…it’s the exact opposite of friendship power!

92.
Ashura: Both the Justice Choujin and we devils have gotten tired from the long fight. We should gradually use our trump card with our remaining power…
Suguru: Ke, well, they’re using a devil’s characteristic bluff. Great, please leave this to me alone.
Ashura: Kakaka, it has been a long Justice/Devil Choujin War, but this will be the end.
Ashura: Devil Spirit Technique…
Sunshine: ……SHOGUN!
Ashura: There—
Announcer: Ashuraman and Sunshine have become masses of light and jumped upwards---!!
Suguru: I don’t know what you’re doing, but I’ll undertake it!!

93.
Announcer: Ashuraman and Sunshine are somehow transforming their own bodies---!!
Announcer: And the two are fusing—
Suguru: Ge—that form!!
Suguru: Sho…Shogun’s…

94.
Suguru: It’s…Akuma Shogun’s legs!!
Terry: What?
Meat & Mayumi: Eeh…
Audience: Isn’t Akuma Shogun actually not in this world anymore due to the Gold Mask, its true identity, reforming!?
“Ashura”: Ka—kakaka, the Gold Mask was only the brain of Akuma Shogun!!
“Ashura”: In truth, the limbs that moved Akuma Shogun were us, the Six Devil Knights---!!
Terry: But you two weren’t operating as either of the legs in the parts of Akuma Shogun’s body; weren’t you the hip and chest pieces!!

95.
“Ashura”: Ka—kakakaka, we weren’t merely Shogun’s hip and chest! As two parts of Shogun’s body, we can become any of them!!
Suguru: ………!!
Suguru: N…No—
Suguru: I don’t want to fight Shogun again—
Suguru: I don’t want to take the Hell Nine-Point Seal or the Hell Guillotine again---!!
Announcer: What’s wrong with Kinnikuman? He’s running around the ring just looking at Akuma Shogun’s lower body----!!
“Ashura”: You can’t escape!!

96.
“Ashura”: Ha—haha---
Announcer: Shogun’s lower half is violently stomping Kinnikuman—
Mayumi: What’s wrong, Suguru? Didn’t you win against Shogun once—
Suguru: No—he’ll kill me—
Terry: I understand it well…
Terry: A Choujin who experienced pain fighting in the past gets an unpleasant when battling them again…In particular, you did win against Akuma Shogun, but you ultimately couldn’t defeat his special techniques, either the Hell Guillotine or the Hell Nine-Point Seal!

97.
Suguru: Ge
“Ashura”: Sorya—
Announcer: Shogun has transformed into the arms this time and throwing a Neck Hanging Tree on Kinnikuman!!
Ashura: Great, this man is already no good. No matter how much confidence you have, this isn’t a condition he can bare. Ka—kakakaka.
Sunshine: No matter how much you save him, he’ll again be put in a plight where he’ll put you in danger due to his clumsiness. Properly abandon him!!
“Ashura”: Now hurry! Get out of the ring. If you do that, then you’ll be saved!!
Terry: ………

98.
Meat: Please, Great!! Don’t abandon Prince.
“Ashura”: So, what will you do!
Suguru: Te…
Suguru: Terryman…
“Ashura”: Guhehehe, he screwed up his partner’s name!
Terry: Ki…Kinnikuman!!

99.
Terry: Can I abandon my valuable tag partner!!
“Ashura”: It…can’t be.
Terry: Kinnikuman, hold on—
Terry: Tag is two as one. Can I run from that---!!
Terry: Kinnikuma—n!!
Sunshine: So…strong!! Such strong bonds…they’re guys with bonds of trust!
Suguru: I’m alright already, Great…
Terry: Ooh, Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: I was just bewitched by the vision of Shogun. What’s in front of me are the devils Ashuraman and Sunshine…

100.
“Ashura”: Take this—Hell Guillotine!!
Suguru: Ri—ght, do as you wish--!!
“Ashura”: Sorya—
Announcer: Kinnikuman’s in danger!!

101.
“Ashura”: Take this!! Hell Guillotine—
Announcer: Kinnikuman somehow has a calm expression--!!
Meat: Aah!!
Ashura: Ka—kakakaka, we’ve finally ended Kinnikuman’s life—
Terry: Ki…Kinnikuman!!

102.
Suguru: Don’t worry, Great! I’m alive.
Terry: Ki…Kinnikuman.
“Ashura”: Wh…why! Why are you laughing after taking the Hell Guillotine!?
Suguru: Ke……The Hell Guillotine is…
Suguru: A technique that originates with the presentation of five strong parts: Akuma Shogun’s head, body, arms, waist and legs.
Suguru: A Guillotine with just legs…
Suguru: Won’t kill a fly—

103.
“Ashura”: Gyaa—
Ashura: S**t\
Suguru: Uwa
Ashura: Sunshine, if it’s come to this, then we’ll use the Human Bullet strategy. You grab Great too!!
Ashura: What’s wrong, Sunshine, hurry—
Sunshine: I don’t know if justice is correct or evil is correct…!!
Ashura: Sunshine!!

(DREAM CHOUJIN TAG ARC)
SPECIAL VTR XVIII
KINNIKUMAN VS. STRAY-DEVIL CHOUJIN COMBO

TN: I guess I keep saying this over and over, but why the heck is Sunshine suddenly a blubbering idiot? It's like the Devil Choujin suddenly have become split personalities: Ashuraman has become all evil with his angry faces taking control while Sunshine has just melted into a combo of sand and tears! I don't mind Sunshine doubting it but it just feels so heavy handed in it's approach. On the other hand...I really did love the whole "Akuma Shogun" revisit with the two of them fusing into the body parts and mutating as needed to even perform a "less powerful" version of the Hell Guillotine (to the point that Suguru pointed it out and therefore could take it!) Sure Suguru doesn't have a defense for it, but to face one 1/5 the power of the original is smart thinking on his part.
