Kinnikuman 261

Although the matters of Kinnikuman Great are now done, there's another problem: how can Terry re-enter a tournament that he was forced to forfeit!? If Ashuraman has anything to say, he and Suguru may be reteaming real soon...

Chapter 261: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (53): Revival!! The Machineguns

126.-127.
Announcer: Ashuraman, the perpetrator who took the Star Emblems from Terryman, has returned them to him--!!
Terry: A…Ashuraman!!
Neptune: De…Devil Choujin, why are you here!?
Mayumi: All right, the Star Emblems have returned, thus, Terryman’s disqualification is cancelled and the Machineguns are revived---!!
Harabote: Ho…hold on, I haven’t decided yet to cancel Terryman’s disqualification!
Mayumi: What, stone-headed chairman, don’t you see the Star Emblems shining on both of Terryman’s shoulders---!!

128.
Harabote: I see them. However, to cancel Terryman’s disqualification, I need one other thing than the Star Emblems: an acknowledgement of Terryman’s restoration from the mouth of Ashuraman himself.
Mayumi: What, you’re still stinking it with trouble~~~
Terry: Please stop, Kinniku Daioh!!
Terry: …It’s as the chairman said. Well, I am happy that I’ve had my Star Emblems returned! However, I can’t be relieved until I get an acknowledgement of my restoration in the ring from the mouth of Ashuraman himself.
Terry: Ashuraman, these Star Emblems were things I presented as proof of the surrender of myself and Geronimo against the Stray-Devil Combo of you and Sunshine!

129.
Ashura: …………
Harabote: Right, Ashuraman: those Star Emblems you returned to Terryman became worthless when the Stray-Devil Combo defeated Terryman and Geronimo’s team.
Ashura: …I didn’t hear anything……………I merely just came to bring a forgotten item to you, Terryman!
Terry: Ashuraman, by doing this, are you acknowledging my showdown with the Hell Missionaries by restoring my combo with Kinnikuman!?
Ashura: I came to see it: People with Friendship Power do communicate their perfect power anywhere!!

130.
Mayumi: He got Ashuraman’s acknowledgement. Now Suguru and Terryman’s original Machineguns is restored--!
Harabote: Well, it can’t be helped.
Suguru: ……………
Caption: DEVIL CHOUJIN WORLD—

131.
Ashura Daioh: Kuuu~~Ashuraman’s a stupid son.
Ashura Daioh: I intended to strongly teach him that humans are beings of hate, not beings of love, and yet he intends to join in on the friendship make-believe of those Justice Choujin—
Ashuraman’s Mother: Dear, Ashuraman isn’t a child who will betray us!
Ashruaman’s Mother: Our child hasn’t changed his heart of hating the Justice Choujin……however; this further is now about his hatred of the Perfect Choujin!

132.
Neptune: Ha—haha, even with so much solo power, you’ve been seen to not defeat the Perfect Choujin, so have you finally gotten a grip regarding justice and devils---!!
Ashura: I don’t want Kinnikuman and Terryman defeated by the hand of a stranger—the one who will defeat them is only me!!
Terry: Well, Perfect Choujin, I take my failure earlier as Kinnikuman Great, but I won’t have them as The Terryman!!

133.
Neptune: Terryman, though you’ve been approved as Kinnikuman’s partner, you won’t get any mercy from us!!
Announcer: With the blessing for the revival of The Machineguns, formerly the Muscle Brothers, the gong for Round 2 has rung--!!
Announcer: Due to the 3-Round Rule, the defeating team and the defeated team in the 1st round must have a 2nd round first!!
Neptune: Uoo~~~

134.
Announcer: Neptuneman suddenly throws a Jumping Knee Drop, a counter to Terryman’s face!!
Announcer: However, Terryman is going to approach a tag to Kinnikuman!!
Suguru: …………
Terry: Wh…what’s wrong, Kinnikuman, can’t we tag?
Suguru: Terryman, it’s already a bit early to want to stand in the same ring like that!!
Terry: …………!?
Suguru: I wanted to participate in this tag tournament in a combo with you, and yet you refused and formed the New Machineguns with that Geronimo. Thus, aren’t you being a bit selfish in restoring the combo with me when that became bad?
Terry: I don’t even remember myself my state of mind from then. Why was I in that disposition back there!!

135.
Neptune: Terryman, Kinnikuman hates restoring this combo with you!!
Neptune: Give it up…!!
Terry: Uuh…
Announcer: With disorder in the teamwork of the reborn Machineguns, he takes a Flying Headbutt---!!
Mayumi: Korya—Suguru, is this the time to have a falling out---!!
Ashura: Kinnikuman, you’re wrong about why Terryman and the others became cold to you before the start of this tournament. It was due to me that your friendship was stolen and sealed into the Destiny Dolls!

136.
Ashura: Bu…but suppose the Missionaries have those dolls they took from us……………!?
Budo: Ha—hahaha, you may be closely surprised sometimes, but as expected these things called Destiny Dolls are convenient. By just splitting the fellow dolls like so, the friendship of the Justice Choujin can actively be disturbed!
Announcer: Ge—With Neptuneman’s stomping, Terryman’s head is folding and splitting once again---!!
Suguru: Te…Terryman!
Suguru: No, no!

137.
Kamehame: As I expected, you’re worried about Terryman.
Suguru: Ma…Master Kamehame!
Kamehame: Regardless of how much you hate Terryman on the surface, you really do understand Terryman in the depths of your heart.
Suguru: That’s wrong, Master. Shouldn’t I actually abandon Terryman like this!!
Kamehame: That’s because you’re judging without yet helping Terryman out of a real crisis.
Kamehame: When Terryman is in a real crisis, your body will naturally go to rescue him!
Suguru: Ma…Master!
Announcer: It’s a lonely battlefield…Terryman vs. Neptuneman.

138.
Announcer: A finishing Shoulder Neck Breaker Drop!!
Meat: Terryman’s pathetic, Prince--!
Ashura: No, Terryman’s being treated too softly.
Meat: Huh?
Ashura: I think that Kinnikuman would come in to save him anytime if he was really being hurt! However, Terryman is increasingly just paying for his animosity towards Kinnikuman!
Ashura: No matter how long you wait to restore your friendship, it won’t happen if you don’t grip with it yourself!!

139.
Terry: Friendship is a thing I have to grip by my own hands…
Neptune: Earlier you had the Great mask, but…
Neptune: This time, Terryman, we’re going to rip off the skin on your face.
Announcer: The Missionaries this time are proclaiming they’re ripping Terryman’s face!
Terry: Friendship is a thing I have to grip by my own hands…
Suguru: Terry, get away. If you take this blow with your strength, you’ll die---!!
Terry: Friendship is a thing I have to grip by my own hands!
Terry: Wh…what are you doing!!

140.
Announcer: Terryman, with his former actions boiling within, has finally dragged Kinnikuman into the ring by his own hand----!!
Suguru: Le…let go, Terryman.
Terry: Well, Missionaries, the Cross bomber is a technique where you hunt for a person’s mask. Therefore, with two Choujin in your way, you can’t move your arms or legs.
Brocken: As expected, a great operation by the mental Terryman!
Neptune: Ku……Terryman, you didn’t know that when we’re on a Mask-Hunt, we use a Cross Bomber at half our maximum power since we’re hunting just the opponent’s mask reliably.
Suguru: What---!?
Budo: Doing a Cross Bomber at maximum power makes fly off the opponent’s head, not just their mask.
Neptune: If we just used our maximum power, then we can hunt the masks of you two inferior Choujin anytime---!!

141.
Terry: Interesting! You can say that, but how about testing it to see if it’s a bluff or not!!
Suguru: What are you saying—if I can escape from here now, then he will chop off your head.
Terry: I believe that you won’t run away at all!
Suguru: Terry…
Neptune & Budo: Let’s go: Rough Face Bomber!!
Suguru: If…If I don’t escape, then they’ll tear off my mask. But Terryman now……

142.-143.
Suguru: Our…bodies moved on their own!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman and Terryman’s teamwork has held back the Cross Bomber!!
Budo: Uwa
Announcer: The Machineguns, which shook America three years ago, have returned--!!

(DREAM CHOUJIN TAG ARC)
SPECIAL VTR XXVII
THE MACHINEGUNS VS. HELL MISSIONARIES

TN: This chapter was rather obvious but somewhat confusing on the whole matter of Suguru and Terry. I get the whole bit of "not helping until the time is right" that Suguru pulled and that Terry essentially was fighting Neptuneman on his own to atone for all the crap he pulled thanks to the stupid "stolen friendship" ploy. But why the heck did we have to turn both Suguru and Terry into jerks just to get the point across and do it like so? Is it so we could sympathize when everything gets lovey-dovey again, or just that they sort of hate each other and yet...yeah, I don't get it either but it still makes sense in a general way. Oh and as for Ashuraman...yeah, it's that old bit: he wants to defeat Suguru and doesn't want Neptuneman to do so, thus a temporary alliance that strengthens and...well, at least it's not too bad to see him good but at the same time he really needs those masks back cause that revealed version...is disturbing. Oh, and one more note for fans of Nisei: the "ripping off the face" concept apparantly didn't begin suddenly with Neptuneman and Seichun...though at the same time I am happy Yudetamago didn't take things that far in shonen...though that didn't stop them from doing it in seinen...eww.
