Kinnikuman 244

Though the Devil Choujin have finally submitted to defeat, the Perfect Choujin of the Hell Missionaries won't hear anything of it...but that won't stop their next opponent, the 20 Million Powers, from getting in their way!

Chapter 244: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (36): Mask-Ripping Announcement!!

162.
Announcer: Here come the 20 Million Powers, who are facing the Hell Missionaries in the second semifinal match---!!

163.
Neptune: Buffaloman and Mongolman!
Mongol: Missionaries, you’ve forgotten. Your next competition opponents are the 20 Million Powers!!
Neptune: We haven’t forgotten. Wait a little bit until we’ve finished punishing these devils who’ve betrayed our common cause!
Suguru: Mongolman! Don’t let your hair go even if you die. Whatever happens, the reformed devil combo will be protected by the Justice Choujin---!!
Mongol: …………Ri—ght, quickly finish punishing the devils!

164.
Suguru: Mo…Mongolman!
Buffalo: Save energy to fight us, fufufufu.
Suguru: Bu…Buffaloman!!
Sunshine: Uuh…
Budo: Sunshine, you don’t have a mask to rip off!
Budo: Thus, you will die!!
Sunshine: Guwa

165.
Neptune: Sorya
Neptune: Double Leg Suplex--!!
Neptune: That’s the end of you two.
Ashura: Su…Sunshine.
Suguru: Yo…you, how long will you be ended up as Perfect Choujin underlings--!!

166.
Buffalo: We’re not underlings or anything!! It’s merely that we approve of the Perfect Choujin’s logic which it becomes the law of the jungle once you enter the ring, where all puny Choujin must be swept away!
Suguru: So then why did you help us without abandon when we were going through pain with the Devil Combo’s Hell Canvas---!!
Mongol: I…don’t know…why I did that back then. I was merely in a daze then…we wanted to help you. However, now we’ve deserted you!
Suguru: What—
Ashura: The temporarily restored friendship of Kinnikuman and the 20 Million Powers still has cracks in it. Wh…what exactly is going on……!?
Ashura: Ooh!! That’s…

167.
Ashura: The box where we sealed the Justice Choujin’s friendship…
Ashura: Neptuneman’s attack earlier threw down the box, separating the distance of Kinnikuman and the 20 Million Power’s friendship more and more---!!
Ashura: If…I don’t get them back…
Neptune: N? What’s that box…
Neptune: Aren’t these dolls in the form of Kinnikuman and the Justice Choujin?
Ashura: Ah…damn!

168.
Budo: Aah, these are the dolls of Mongolman and Buffaloman…
Neptune: Of course, I get it. The reason behind the cracks in the Justice Choujin’s friendship is…
Budo: ………!?
Neptune: These dolls! The friendship stolen from the Justice Choujin by the devils were sealed and controlled by these dolls.
Suguru: ………………
Neptune: If we use these right, our championship will become certain!!

169.
Neptune: Devils, thanks for the box; we Perfect Choujin will be taking it!!
Ashura: …………
Ashura: Ki…Kinnikuman…get back that box or…a…terrible…thing…will…
Ashura: …………
Announcer: Well, the first semifinal, the blood-stained match of destiny between the Muscle Brothers vs. the Stray Devil Combo is over. Here we’ll have a new showdown: the intense super-heavyweight matchup of the 20 Million Powers vs. the Hell Missionaries!!

170.
Brocken: Aah!! The…ring has a wire-screen stretched around it---!!
Brocken: Further, there’s barbed wired stretching around it in place of rope!!

171.
Brocken: A Barbed-Wire Fence Match…it’s appears simple yet there isn’t a harsher, bloodier match method!
Neptune: Look!! At the number…
Neptune: Of Choujin Masks we’ve hunted!!
Neptune: Among them, our newest will be Mongolman! We will add in your mask!!
Announcer: Neptuneman has announced the mask-ripping of Mongolman---!!

172.
Buffalo: What’s wrong, Mongolman? You don’t have a complexion…
Mongol: N…no, it’s nothing……
Suguru: Strange! It’ll be greatly better for the 20 Million Powers to be hurt by the Hell Missionaries!
Terry: Kinnikuman, don’t open your mouth; the 20 Million Powers will sink in a bloody sea by the Hell Missionaries.
Suguru: Huh?
Terry: This is the perfect tag team of the Hell Missionaries, who defeated the Choujin Teacher/Student Combo, who were said to be the No. 1 champion candidate……

173.
Terry: Regarding them, the 20 Million Powers is recognized by everyone for Buffaloman’s power, but…
Terry: It can’t be help that among those super-heavyweight class Choujin, it’s ultimately too unfavorable for Mongolman!
Terry: Perhaps this will be concluded five minutes after the match begins!!
Suguru: Hey hey, Great! Aren’t you exaggerating a bit about how the 20 Million Powers will fail?
Terry: Listen to me until the end!
Terry: If the true form of Mongolman is that Choujin which we all know well…then surely he’ll lead the 20 Million Powers to victory!
Suguru: Th…that Choujin is perhaps……

174.
Everyone: Yes…that Choujin!!
Announcer: Well, the gong has run in the ring and first up is a power showdown of Neptuneman and Buffaloman!!
Announcer: Buffaloman and Neptuneman are in a strength contest in the center of the ring---!!

175.
Suguru: What a terribly simple development.
Terry: Since they’re surrounded by barbed wire, they can’t use techniques which use the recoil of the rope! Thus, the development of the match truly becomes a simple development of a struggle of strength contest and joints!!
Terry: However, now that simple development will transform into a hellish development…
Buffalo: Guo—unleashing my 10 Million Power---!!
Announcer: The strength contest is going the way of Buffaloman---!!
Neptune: S**t.
Neptune: Sorya
Announcer: Neptune has skillfully countered!!
Announcer: Buffaloman has become the first victim of the barbed wire---!!

176.
Audience: Aah!!
Mongol: Switch, Buffaloman!
Mongol: Sorya
Announcer: Well, Buffaloman of the 20 Million Powers has switched with Mongolman, skilled in his magnificent aerial techniques--!!
Mongol: Oh, of course!!
Neptune: Kukuku, even Mongolman’s specialty aerial techniques live off of rope rebound…that’s barbed-wire rope, so you can’t put your hands or legs on it!
Mongol: S**t—

177.
Neptune: Hahhahaha, it’s hopeless, hopeless!
Neptune: A technique that can’t use the rebound of a rope.
Neptune: Feel no worse than a mosquito bite--!!
Neptune: Sorya—
Announcer: Am..amazing!! Neptuneman has tied Mongolman from an Atomic Drop to a Back Drop---!!
Announcer: This makes Mongolman at wits’ end as expected!!
Meat: Aa---h, four minutes have passed since the match started…will Mongolman’s team be defeated in 5 minutes as Great said after all?
Terry: N…now, I just wish that Mongolman’s true identity is that Choujin…

178.
Announcer: Well, Mongolman has quickly become groggy in the ring--!!
Neptune: Fufufu…well, shall we make this the shortest match on record?
Announcer: Neptuneman is signaling danger with the stroke of his arm—Will this be the Quarrel Bomber--!!
Mongol: Something that can replace the rope…
Mongol: Got it!!
Neptune: Quarrel Bomber--!!
Announcer: Mongolman avoids it with his will---!!
Neptune: Ke…that small jump won’t be enough!!

179.
Mongol: Remember this!
Mongol: The wire-screen will be
Mongol: My replacement for the ropes!!
Announcer: Somehow Mongolman has used the reaction of the wire-screen for a deadly kick---!!
Terry: Aah, the time of the match has surpassed five minutes!! So then Mongolman’s true identity really is---!?

(DREAM CHOUJIN TAG ARC)
SPECIAL VTR XXI
KINNIKUMAN GREAT VS. ASHURAMAN

TN: Yeah...its about time they figured it out. Considering that we in the audience knew from early on that Mongolman was Ramenman...it was about time the cast figured it out. (yet at the same time kept so nebulous that it's a revelation...but not quite...yeah, I don't get it either) The beginning of the chapter just sort of went from really stupid (keeping the box bit with the Friendship Power subplot) to somewhat weird but appropriate (Sunshine getting killed), but luckily the end of the chapter beginning the match between the Perfect and Brutal Choujin was some classic fighting moments, from Buffaloman's power struggle to Mongol's usage of the cage to bounce and attack Neptuneman! Too bad things may go downhill from here...
