Kinnikuman 247

Just when you think you finally know an opponent, they finally reveal the source behind their abilities. Unfortunately for the 20 Million Powers, the source of Neptuneman's power...is something that they're not going to be attracted by!

Chapter 247: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (39): Magnet Power!!

27.
Neptune: Ha—hahaha, do you see the power of my Magnet Power---!!

28.
Mongol: Wh…what exactly is happening to Neptuneman’s body…
Mongol: Ever since he took my attacks, he’s been attracting the surrounding metallic objects as if he was a magnet……!!
Mongol: Right!! Somehow at the time, Neptuneman was deliberately only taking my attacks on his mask…but…why!?
Buffalo: Magnetism! Neptuneman’s mask has the ability to change the Choujin Power that originates from his opponent’s attack into magnetism and take it into his body!!
Buffalo: Thus at that time, Neptuneman took your attacks onto his mask on purpose!!
Caption: CHOUJIN POWER

29.
Mongol: So…then, Neptuneman’s body is a huge magnetic mass----!!
Budo: Neptuneman-sama, please give me your Magnet Power too!
Neptune: You’ve got it!
Budo: Guoo—this feels good---!!
Budo: My combat wounds
Budo: Are healing quickly!!

30.
Nakano: He’s…just amazing!
Nakano: Huh, my camera.
Nakano: Huh, my wig!!
Caption: The inside of the wig is iron.
Suguru: Owa—my juice!!
Announcer: It’s not just in the ring, all the metal around the tournament area is being drawn towards Neptuneman!!

31.
Neptune: Ha—hahahahaha!
Buffao: I don’t know if that’s magnet power or not, but what’s wrong with that? Isn’t this iron being drawn just special effects? Does he think that will defeat the 20 Million Powers---!!
Budo: What?
Mongol: It’s…it’s what Buffaloman said……
Mongol: At first I was confused a bit, but as I think about it, how are they going to win with that magnetism!?
Mongol: That is nothing more than mere make-believe!!
Announcer: Mongolman has revived---!!

32.
Mongol: Face-Splitter—
Neptune: If you increase the attacks on my mask, then the Magnet Power will increasingly become stronger!!
Mongol: …………
Neptune: Now, Budo!!
Budo: Ha!!
Suguru: Th…they’re trying again with the Cross Bomber that failed earlier!!
Budo: Magnet Power!!

33.
Budo: - (Minus)!!
Neptune: Magnet Power + (Plus)!!
Announcer: Releasing the magnetic polarity of + and -, a violent magnetism is occurring between Neptuneman’s left arm and Budo’s left arm--!!
Everyone: OOH…

34.-35.
Neptune: Kukukuku, pull, pull.
Buffalo: Right!! The dreadful destructive power of the Cross Bomber…
Buffalo: Its secret is that by using the violent magnetism of their mutual arms, they go to the point of attraction---!!
Buffalo: The failure of their Cross Bomber earlier was because they had run out of the magnet power that is the lifeline of the technique!!
Terry: So they used Mongolman to supply them power!!
Suguru: How calculating!!
Neptune: Take this: Cross Bomber
Announcer: Neptuneman is flying like he’s being attracted with the violent magnetism that’s being emitted by Budo---!!

36.
Announcer: Mongolman is merely standing still against Neptuneman’s force----!!
Suguru: Are you dead, Mongolman!!
Buffalo: Mongolman…
Buffalo: Won’t die, even if I substitute my life!!

37.
Announcer: Mongolman has escaped from the Cross Bomber with Buffaloman’s instant cleverness---!!
Neptune: Chi, you get in my way too much—
Buffalo: The Magnet Power…did this to a corner post……its hiding destructive power beyond imagination!!
Mongol: Uuh…
Suguru: You can do this—Mongolman.
Mongol: Ev…eryone!!
Terry: Don’t be scared, Mongolman! Currently the Cross Bomber is the only technique that uses their Magnet Power!!

38.
Suguru: Therefore if you use your prided footwork to continue to avoid the Cross Bomber…you can lure out the Missionaries’ fatigue and may be able to reverse this!!
Mongol: Thank you!!
Announcer: Mongolman stands again taking the heated support from his ally Justice Choujin--!!
Neptune: Ke…even the 20 Million Powers easily have their friendship restored, the same as the other Justice Choujin!
Budo: Only you two were different somewhere from the others and we bought it in secret.
Neptune: However, we’ve overestimated it…in the end; you two are inferior Choujin who will do anything to save your allies!

39.
Mongol: N…no, we don’t rely on Kinnikuman’s group!!
Suguru: What’s wrong, Mongolman! You’ve rapidly stopped moving and taken that Cross Bomber.
Mongol: Shut up and leave me alone!!
Mongol: Should we take anything you say? You’re a mutual enemy who would steal the Golden Tag Trophy from us!
Neptune: A chance, Budo!!
Budo: Cross Bomber---!!
Buffalo: Watch out, Mongolman!!

40.
Announcer: Mongolman has barely avoided the surprise Cross Bomber--!!
Buffalo: Phew—
Mongol: Please—don’t drag us down any further—
Suguru: I was giving you kindness but, al—right, I get what you want. I won’t say anything anymore. It will be better if the Missionaries kill you---!!
Neptune: Cross Bomber---!!
Buffalo: Here they come again!!

41.
Suguru: Gya—hahaha, do you know anything but running--!!
Mongol: Do…don’t say anything!!
Neptune: Look, Budo. What I’ve been waiting for has finally appeared!! It’s Iron Sweat!
Budo: Ah…it is Iron Sweat!!
Neptune: Mongolman, it won’t be necessary for you to run from us anymore!!
Mongol: ………!?

42.
Neptune: That’s because you’ve already fallen for our trick---!!
Neptune: Hahahaha, it’s useless!! You can’t run, Mongolman.
Mongol: Ge!! My…body
Announcer: With something the matter, Mongolman is being rapidly attracted to Big the Budo’s body---!!
Buffalo: Mongolman, aren’t you carrying something that’s like iron on you? Get it off immediately---!!
Mongol: I…have nothing on me!!
Buffao: Then isn’t this bizarre? Why is a living Choujin being attracted by Magnet Power—
Neptune: Fufufu, Mongolman’s body is living? What a stupid concept with a guy who is a splendid lump of iron!

43.
Mayumi: Ri…right, I remember!! It’s Iron Sweat.
Meat: Huh, what’s that?
Mayumi: As you know, Friendship Power is an essentially needed thing for Justice Choujin!!
Mayumi: Our ancestors were relentless in those who thought of confronting majestic Friendship Power!
Mayumi: The Justice Choujin warriors, who were different from today, were in an era where they couldn’t even think of such hated fights…thus, their trust of everyone was strong. Only betraying or hating your allies was seen as the ultimate crime and those people were given severe punishment...they wore a huge and heavy steel armor called “Iron Sweat” and must live in that form for their entire lives—

44.
Mayumi: Due to this, even now those Justice Choujin warriors who hate or hurt will have their body’s balance destroyed with this memory of the past by releasing a sweat made of iron called “Iron Sweat”!
Meat: So…then, Mongolman’s is being covered in iron around his body from the Iron Sweat, letting him be attracted by Neptuneman’s Magnet Power!!
Buffalo: What is this Iron Sweat!! How could he gather that--!!
Brocken: N…no!! Buffaloman’s body has Iron Sweat too!!
Announcer: Buffaloman seemed be saving Mongolman and is flying into the magnetic storm--!!
Buffalo: Uwa

45.
Neptune: Kukukuku, even Buffaloman has fallen for our trick!
Neptune: We’ll take you two and send you to hell---!!
Neptune: Magnetic-Storm Driver--!!
Announcer: It’s a Double Tombstone---!! Is this it for the 20 Million Powers----!!

TN: Somehow the best thing about this chapter is that the Cross Bomber finally makes more sense with the revelation of Magnet Power. It's less an attack and more the usage of opposing magnetic forces to literally slam against one another...and hit whoever is in the way. It really is weird that the Neptuneman mask seems to be tied to the magnetism but it probably has to come from somewhere. Though I loved the explanation that finally gives sense to the Perfect Choujin's trump card, unfortunately that's all I really like this time around. Neptuneman just seems pushier than ever with Magnet Power revealed, Big the Budo still seems helpless even with Magnet Power, and...don't get me started on the "Iron Sweat" crap! Yeah, as if the Friendship crap was bad enough, we suddenly have a magic sweat that can turn you into metal for denying friendship...just when you're facing off against two living magnets! How typical is that!? (though at least it sounds like it may not be that typical considering Neptuneman mentioned it sounded like they were weeding it out of Mongolman and Buffaloman) And another stupid thing about the Iron Sweat commentary...why the heck do the only Choujin who exist in history all come from Planet Kinniku? Yes, I get their importance but it's like they were the first and only Choujin for a long time considering stuff like "Iron Sweat" and the historical stuff like the Gold/Silver Masks only affected them.
