Kinnikuman 255

Dr. Bombe's surgery of Suguru's left arm was successful, but problems remain: with the final match of the tournament finally here, will he be able to return to the ring to complete his friendship struggles with Kinnikuman Great?

Volume 22: Revival!! The Machineguns
Chapter 255: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (47): Miraculous Recovery!!

7.
Mayumi: Suguru’s left arm is back to before! And it’s in time for today’s Tag Tournament finals---!!
Brocken: What’s left is to just restore Kinnikuman’s consciousness!!|
Meat: HE DID IT—
Terry: Thank you, Buffaloman…the most distinguished for reviving Kinnikuman’s left arm is you!
Terry: Hey, I’ve forgotten one more important person!!
Terry: Doctor Bombe, who undertook that difficult operation. I want to give gratitude to you too!

8.
Terry: You’ve really done it, Doctor Bombe!!

9.
Terry: He…died!!
Terry: With this vomited blood, perhaps you did have a serious illness…
Terry: I’m certain this operation was difficult…
Terry: Ooh!! Even so, he has a peaceful face in death!!
Terry: The face of a man who had accomplished his one job!

10.
Terry: But, Doctor Bombe, why would you throw away your life to save Kinnikuman, a stranger you haven’t seen or known?
Terry: ……A picture………?
Terry: Ge, th…that’s!!
Terry: Doctor Bombe had this taken together with Prince Kamehame.
Brocken: He—y, what’s wrong Great! Bring the doctor in here too!
Terry: The doctor had his next Choujin patient waiting and left for another journey!
Brocken: Huh, that’s!!

11.
Terry: Its fine, its fine, I’ll tell him we’re grateful for the operation.
Terry: Perhaps that Doctor Bombe is a guardian angel summoned by Prince Kamehame, the first Great……
Terry: Thanks, Kamehame!
Terry: …..And thanks, Doctor Bombe!!

12.
Terry: Even if you have your ages, the combo of Kinnikuman and I will follow your unweakened Friendship Power and will truly, surely stand at the summit of Tournament Mountain!!
Terry: Th…that’s all I have to promise now……
Terry: No…I have one more!
Terry: ……Doctor, I’ll be sure to bury you and Kamehame in the same grave…………

13.
Announcer: Well, the Space Choujin Tag Tournament, which has unrolled many various matches, has finally reached the final match, greatly climaxing in the tourney grounds!!
Announcer: Will the puller of the Golden Trophy stuck at an elevation of 3776m on Tournament Mountains be the Muscle Brothers or the Hell Missionaries---!!

14.
Announcer: The players will soon enter the grounds!!
Mayumi: U~~m, but I’m worried. Suguru’s consciousness hasn’t returned after all and, as is, how can he enter the tourney grounds.
Robin: It will be fine. Kinnikuman by nature is a wrestler…he’ll hear the yells of this large audience and truly regain his consciousness.
Mayumi: Well that’s good…………
Announcer: And now, we will have the finals of the first Space Choujin Tag Tournament!! First, in the Blue Corner, is entering Neptuneman & Big the Budo: The Hell Missionaries!!
Announcer: The Missionaries are entering in an eerie style! I’m sure this is a fine style for sending the Muscle Brothers to hell!!

15.
Girl: Kya—Neptuneman!!
Man: Budo—
Announcer: Somehow almost all the audience today somehow is sending their cheers to the Hell Missionaries!!
Audience: Number O—ne!!
Announcer: Even so, it should be because they completely crushed the quartet of Robin Mask, Warsman, Buffaloman and Ramenman, said to be the strong ones among the Justice Choujin, that it’s not impossible that the audience has switched over from the Justice Choujin to the Perfect Choujin!
Announcer: We’re sure that now is the era of the Perfect Choujin!

16.
Mayumi: This is sort of painful……
Announcer: Continuing in the Red Corner is entering Kinnikuamn & Kinnikuman Great: the Muscle Brothers!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman had his left arm severed off by the Missionaries for rescuing Ramenman yesterday…can he really heal his wounds in one night!?

17.
Neptune: No matter how many Choujin go in, I’ll sever their arms. Is there a doctor that can reattach that!
Announcer: That shadow…
Announcer: Kinnikuman Great is entering alone!!
Mayumi: So he didn’t regain consciousness at all……
Neptune: HAHAHA….
Budo: Aah!! Neptuneman-sama!

18.
Announcer: We were rude: Kinnikuman is together with him too. Therefore, the Muscle Brothers have completely entered!!
Neptune: It…can’t be!!
Mayumi: He—y, did you forget, Perfect Choujin? Suguru is a Choujin who summons miracles---!!
Announcer: Is…this some miracle? That Choujin enters with that much of a great injury while recovering from it in one night…what a great surprise!!
Suguru: This isn’t a miracle!! This has happened only because of the life-risking Friendship Power of Buffaloman and Doctor Bombe!

19.
Suguru: I haven’t had a day where I knew the wonder of Friendship Power until today!
Suguru: This body isn’t just my own anymore. I’m carrying the souls of Buffaloman and Doctor Bombe with me! Somehow I will grasp the Gold Tag Trophy so I can repay their friendship!!
Brocken: Even if not anyone roots for you, don’t forget that we’ll be there---!!
Neptune: Hmph…I don’t know if this is a miraculous recovery or anything, but you have shown it to me that you did get such a drastic treatment somehow overnight……
Suguru: …………!!
Announcer: Will both teams taking part in the final match please enter Tournament Mountain immediately!!

20.
Announcer: No—w, will everyone in the audience please pay attention to Tournament Mountain!!
Suguru: Uwa, aren’t these the boxes for the semi-final!!
Neptune: This is the semi-final box too!
Announcer: Is there something wrong? With plenty of nerves about the final match, both teams have appeared in boxes of the semi-finals that are already over!
Mayumi: He—y, Suguru—the place of the fight is in the finals box above you, idiot.
Suguru: But, dad, the steps in Tournament Mountain only go as far as the semi-final box!
Robin: Huh?
Mayumi: Hey—chairman, what are you doing forgetting to add stairs—

21.
Harabote: I didn’t forget, that’s not how they’re doing it.
Mayumi: What?
Harabote: Muscle Brothers and Hell Missionaries, the way both your teams have won until now was by having teamwork that surpassed the other teams! So then, without relying on stairs, you will grapple to the finals box of Tournament Mountain with teamwork!!
Neptune: Understood: our own destinies are opened by ourselves!
Terry: Ri—ght, we’ll go too!!
Suguru: Owa—I have a fear of heights~~
Announcer: Well, both teams have started to climb Tournament Mountain, facing the finals box--!!

22.
Neptune: Magnet Power +!!
Announcer: Neptuneman’s Magnet Power has pulled up Budo--!!
Budo: Magnet Power -!

23.
Announcer: Quickly the Missionaries have a splendid connection!!
Mayumi: You can do this, Muscle Brothers!!
Announcer: Well, 3rd is Great arriving at the Finals Box--!!
Terry: Well, Kinnikuman, grab on.
Suguru: Th…thanks.
Terry: Uwa.
Neptune: Fufufu…climbing a mountain with one arm is intense. Now we’ll have fun.
Suguru: Uwa

24.
Announcer: Kinnikuman is falling from Tournament Mountain--!!
Mayumi & Brocken: Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: Uoo—

25.
Suguru: OOOH--!!
Announcer: Ge—So…somehow Kinnikuman has smashed his left arm into the bare rock of Tournament Mountain, stopping his fall---!!
Neptune: That Kinnikuman…how did his left arm unknowingly get powered up!?
Suguru: Buffaloman, your Long Horn saved me!

(DREAM CHOUJIN TAG ARC)
SPECIAL VTR XXII
KINNIKUMAN VS. NEPTUNEMAN

TN: I know this really has nothing to do with this chapter considering the situation, but I sort of had this on my mind since at least the 20 Million Powers and the Hell Missionaries: when did Choujin lose their abilities to fly? I remember way back from the days from the Kaijuu fighting arc through even the Choujin Olympics and the Devil Choujin arcs that among their superpowers, all Choujin could fly...heck, even Suguru could even if most of the time he propelled himself by farting. But now all of a sudden they really don't anymore and they seem more like "normal people with superpowers". I know it's the changing nature of the series but this chapter (which wasn't that bad with it due to the whole nature of the "climbing to the final battle" bit) and the other semi-final (why would Suguru need that whole convoluted Magnetic Storm crap if he used to fly and could have done so through that broken window of an arena) just seemed to show that you really can't go back to how things used to be. Maybe it is just the pride of Choujin but I guess it's harmless compared to...well, destroying all matters of time like other recent chapters.

As for the chapter itself, all I really can say is that the audience is just so friggin fickle in this series. Considering they considered the Hell Missionaries heels or unknown, seeing them toss around the others while spouting their idiocies influences them way too easily. That's all I really can say without getting into...well, more friendship stuff.
