Kinnikuman 249

Since the beginning of the tag tournament, the primary goal has been restoring the friendship of the Justice Choujin taken by their enemies. Now with a peculiar sign, has the initial goal been met...and how will this affect the 20 Million Powers?

Chapter 249: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (41): The Electromagnetic Choujin!!

65.
Neptune: Damn—the Justice Choujin cursed dolls that were scattered in the shock of the fall are holding hands---!!
Announcer: The nine dolls in the ring are tightly holding their hands together, as if it shows a complete restoration of the friendship of Justice Choujin---!!

66.
Buffalo: Ooh!! Look at those dolls…
Mongol & Buffalo: The hatred we had to Kinnikuman until earlier is gradually dimming!
Mongol & Buffalo: We too were holding his hand like those dolls just like those times.

67.
Suguru: Aah!! The Iron Sweat that is covering Mongolman and Buffaloman’s bodies is!!
Buffalo: Th…this is!!
Mongol: Aah!!

68.
Suguru: Oh!! The Iron Sweat has fallen off.
Mayumi: It’s friendship…since the 20 Million Powers have restored their Friendship Power by abandoning their ill-feelings to Suguru and the others, the Gods of the Justice Choujin has freed them from the Iron Sweat—
Suguru: However, why would the mentality of the 20 Million Powers change the moment those dolls held hands?
Terry: Prince Kamehame, I understand now why you threw away your life to steal those Cursed Dolls……!!
Terry: Those dolls are symbols of friendship that govern we Justice Choujin. You threw your life away so those dolls could hold hands!

69.
Neptune: Si…since you’ve had your friendship restored here, then you won’t ever fulfill your dream of defeating Kinnikuman!!
Mongol: No, even with our friendship restored, we haven’t turned away from our dream to defeat Kinnikuman!
Buffalo: But, we won’t defeat Kinnikuman with hearts of hatred! We intend to win as worthy rivals who fight fair and square!!
Suguru: I’ll actually take that challenge with Great, 20 Million Powers!!
Mongol: So we can fight in the finals ring with Kinnikuman’s team, first we must defeat you two!
Neptune: Budo! It seems the friendship restoration this time is for real.
Neptune: I don’t need these dolls anymore! Hold on to them!!
Mongol: Without the Iron Sweat, the Missionaries’ magnetism isn’t enough to scare us. Let’s go, Buffaloman.
Buffalo: Right, Mongol!!
Announcer: That stance is the Longhorn Train which pulverized Kendaman & Screw Kid, Perfect Choujin like the Missionaries, in the first round---!!

70.
Buffalo: Now we’ll send you to your underlings Kendaman and Screw Kid---!!
Announcer: Neptuneman and Big the Budo are being blocked on top of the rails of the Longhorn Train---!!
Neptune: Wherever we are, we won’t run Budo. A Perfect Choujin who shows his back to an enemy is more embarrassing than death!!
Budo: Right.

71.
Mongol: Longhorn Train---!!
Announcer: The Missionaries have crashed into the bright lights---!!
Suguru: They did it—a come-from-behind victory for the 20 Million Powers---!!
Mongol: Perhaps they were shocked to death.

72.
Neptune: Hahhahaha, Budo, let’s teach them a lesson on Perfect Choujin!
Buffalo: Ne…Neptuneman!!
Neptune: Thanks to us taking the Longhorn Train, our power has increased!!

73.
Neptune: Fufu, from how your inferior Choujin think, a normal Choujin will be shocked to death by being thrown into bright lights, but don’t forget that we’re magnetic Choujin.
Terry: Right, magnets hold a property that they can carry electricity. In short, the Missionaries, who are magnetic Choujin, can take in the electricity of the lights in their entire bodies, upgrading into electromagnetic Choujin!!
Suguru: What…
Mongol: Take this!! We’ll end this—
Announcer: The 20 Million Powers, strained by desperation, attack to finish the Missionaries---!!
Suguru: Stop—20 Million Powers, they’re not the Neptuneman and Budo of earlier!!
Neptune: Electromagnetic Power!!

74.
Neptune: ON!!
Mongol & Buffalo: …………
Neptune: Silhouette Sweat!!
Announcer: The Iron Sweat, which had covered the entire bodies of Mongolman and Buffaloman until earlier, have revived with the Missionaries’ Electromagnetic Power—

75.
Neptune: Silhouette Body Press!!
Audience: Ooh!!
Mongol: This…can’t be the pulverized Iron Sweat that once covered us!
Buffalo: That’s…dirty. Its foul to fight by sending things out!!
Suguru: Right, right!!
Audience: Right, right. (It’s dirty!!)

76.
Neptune: Fufufufu, your calls of foul are cruel. When did we fight by sending things out? That Iron Sweat is made of sweat that flowed from your bodies!
Neptune: In short, you’re responsible for the Iron Sweat fragments that you threw away here!!
Neptune: Silhouette Missile Kick!!
Buffalo: Guhe
Suguru: That’s discolored—20 Million Powers, deal with the Iron Sweat first---!!
Neptune: Finishing Flying Head Butt---!!

77.
Mongol: The source is us…
Buffalo: So we’ll mow them!!
Mongol & Buffalo: Dorya—
Announcer: That’s smart: Mongolman and Buffaloman has dealt a Side Suplex to the Silhouette Sweat---!!

78.
Announcer: Mongolman and Buffalomasn have shelved away the Silhouette Sweat—
Mongol: We did it.
Mongol: Haa haa
Terry: It’s as I predicted before the battle: If this heavyweight fight became a drawn-out match, then the first to have their stamina run out is the small-bodied Mongolman!
Neptune: Hahahaha, we’ve waited for this, Mongolman.
Budo: Our techniques were to wear you down. You gave us a match with your stamina earlier, but in the end the winner is we Perfect Choujin!
Mongol: Wh…what!? So then you’re still hiding your secret weapon!?
Neptune: Fufufu, right, our best one!

79.
Neptune: There!
Mongol: That’s your secret weapon…………!?
Neptune: Full release!! Electromagnetic Power—
Mongol: Ge

80.
Announcer: Taking the Electromagnetic Power of Neptuneman and Budo, the iron pole surrounded by the barbed wire has started to spin--!!
Suguru: What are they intending to start again?
Terry: Right, I got it!!

81.
Terry: That iron pole is an instant motor!! Because of the spinning of the motor, Neptuneman and Budo are spinning it higher into the sky with the electric current flowing from their bodies.
Suguru: But why are they raising it with electric currents?
Terry: A…mazing!!

82.
Terry: They’re creating thunder clouds—
Mongol & Buffalo: Aah!!
Neptune: Now!!

83.
Announcer: Somehow Neptuneman is carrying lightning under both his arms---!!
Neptune: This is the ultimate secret weapon of the Perfect Choujin!
Neptune: Thunder Saber---!!

CHOUJIN DEADLY TECHNIQUE SERIES
12. KINNIKU DRIVER

One of the 48 Killer Techniques, it’s a rough technique where you harden both arms and legs of an opponent you throws into the air, falling by pouring in your body weight and sink them into the canvas.

A Word from Kinnikuman: I’m explaining another technique. This time I kept it in the office. I’ve been busy!! Anyhow, this technique makes my head, arms and crotch hurt, that’s about it!

TN: First of all: THANK GOODNESS THE STUPID CURSED DOLLS/STOLEN FRIENDSHIP CRAP IS FINALLY OVER!! As you probably know from the whole time I've been doing this arc, I've hated this stupid storyline, from the moment the Devil Choujin "stole" the friendship to this stupid holding hands crap that finally concludes it. Look, I have nothing against camaraderie of opponents towards one another due to opponents being friends, but the way this stupid series is doing it just makes it not just super-uber...but about as stupid, cliche and ridiculous as possible. I really don't know which of these friendship bits have been worse...but at least it's finally done with and this tournament can move on. (though the stupidest factor regarding this: it was all just a ploy anyway to have the tournament mean something, considering not one of the Justice Choujin who were supposed to be rivals even fought each other...they all fought someone else, even the one match that was supposed to be didn't come true because of Kendaman and Screw Kid!)

As for the rest of the chapter...well, actually I find it really cool that the magnetic powers of the Perfect Choujin allow them to become "electromagnetic" as well. Sure it meant they had to break yet another window of a tournament arena (it's like a trademark of this arc), but I did like how they were able to use that ability...though the whole "carrying giant lightning bolts down from the heaven" was probably a tad cartoonish but I'll give that a shadow of a doubt compared to...well, the Friendship crap.
