Kinnikuman 263

Though Suguru alone has had a time dealing with the Hell Missionaries, he may have an ace due to the power of Buffaloman! But just because Suguru has the power doesn't mean that his opponent's can't figure out his upgraded power!

Chapter 263: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (55): Mask The End!!

165.
Announcer: Kinnikuman has a reverse Bomber, stealing Neptuneman’s specialty---!!

166.
Announcer: The Longhorn Train of Buffaloman, who is buried in Kinnikuman’s left arm, is empowering him--!!
Suguru: Uoo~~
Suguru: Uoo—
Announcer: Wh…what power. Kinnikuman has thrown Neptuneman’s body with just his left arm---!!

167.
Terry: Ki…Kinnikuman has even made Buffaloman’s 10 Million Power his own!!
Budo: No, he can’t stop!!
Announcer: With a good follow by his partner Budo, Neptuneman has escaped the difficulty of falling outside the ring---!!

168.
Budo: N!?
Budo: Uo
Neptune: Geee—
Announcer: Somehow even the giant Budo, who went in to stop Neptuneman’s body with Kinnikuman’s Bomber power, has been knocked down--!!

169.
Suguru: A…mazing!!
Suguru: He was a guy with 10 Million Power…
Mayumi: Gyahaha, even those lifted Perfect Choujin get up this time, this makes it a 1-to-1 tie score!!
Announcer: Well, Neptuneman and Budo, who have fallen outside the ring, have gone into a Ring Out count!
Announcer: If they don’t go in within a 20-Count, the 2nd round will be taken by the Machineguns!!
Suguru: Please…don’t get up!

170.
Announcer: Neptuneman is standing!!
Neptune: Kukukuku, that’s cruel, Kinnikuman. Though it’s a 2-on-2 tag match, I ask for your other second Terryman!!
Suguru: Wh…what’s that!?
Neptune: You’ve ruined it: you made my chest into this…

171.
Audience: Ooh!! His chest is like that………!!
Neptune: That feat shouldn’t be done by you, whose 95 thousand power at most. If a Choujin wrestler aside from you could do this to my body, it is just one……
Neptune: Only by Buffaloman, who prides his 10 Million Power Choujin strength---!!
Budo: Buffaloman, who we defeated in the semifinals, has somehow putting his power in your techniques…
Budo: Kinnikuman, he’s living in that left arm!!

172.
Neptune: That confusion has somehow hit a bullseye!!
Neptune: Magnet Power!!
Suguru: Owa—
Announcer: Neptuneman’s Magnet Power is pouring on Kinnikuman’s left arm—
Terry: But why? Why is Kinnikuman’s left arm, which isn’t metallic, being drawn by Neptuneman’s Magnet Power--!!
Neptune: Ha—hahaha, regardless of struggle, that left arm has buried within a part of Buffaloman’s body, thus it can’t escape from my Magnet Power!!
Suguru: Wh…why!?

173.
Neptune: Since Buffaloman was overexposed to our Magnet Power during the semifinals, becoming coated with magnetism over every inch of his body, your left arm can be pulled for possessing a part of Buffaloman’s body---!!
Suguru: Can it---!!
Suguru: Uwa!
Neptune: Uhahahaha, Buffaloman, he really is there!!
Neptune: Sorya

174.
Neptune: Ha—hahaha, you can’t escape from here, Kinnikuman.
Announcer: Neptuneman is hardening into a Key Lock on Kinnikuman’s left arm, crushing it---!!
Suguru: My…arm is creaking!
Terry: He’s planning to break the Longhorn Bone together with Kinnikuman’s arm.
Neptune: It’s no good, Kinnikuman. With my power rising, you can’t borrow Buffaloman’s 10 Million Power!!
Suguru: Buffaloman!!
Suguru: Gugu

175.
Terry: N—o, it’s a trap. Go away, Buffaloman!!
Announcer: Oooh, the power of Kinnikuman’s left arm is growing abnormally, lifting Neptuneman’s large body.
Neptune: Hi—hihihi, there’s no mistaking it: that’s Buffaloman’s 10 Million Power!!
Suguru: Do you see Neptuneman: the strength of the left arm where Buffaloman’s Long Horn is buried!
Neptune: Fufufufu, I’ve seen enough. I really know thanks to you.

176.
Neptune: Buffaloman’s 10 Million Power is unusually in our way in defeating The Machineguns!
Terry: Watch—out, Kinnikuman, Budo’s coming from the side!!
Announcer: Budo has aimed a Drop Kick for Kinnikuman’s left arm, which is hanging Neptuneman---!!
Suguru: Owa

177.
Neptune: Buffaloman, I’ll make you impossible to revive so that I won’t see you in front of me ever again---!!
Ashura: Ge—Neptuneman is planning to crash the Longhorn Bone into the iron poll, breaking it---!!
Announcer: This tone like breaking and smashing glass has echoed through the arena—perhaps Kinnikuman’s left arm has been broken again by Neptuneman!!
Suguru: Owa—it hurts~~
Announcer: 4 minutes have passed in the 2nd round, 4 minutes!

178.
Neptune: Kinnikuman, don’t forget that the 5 minutes of the announced Mask-Hunt time has close to a minute left!!
Terry: R…right!
Terry: They’ll surely accomplish it. With me, the 10 minute Mask-Hunt announcement time was done splendidly without even losing a second!
Terry: If you don’t do something
Neptune: We—ll
Neptune: With the remaining minute, shall we slowly have fun with Kinnikuman’s Mask-Hunt!
Budo: Are we going to do the Cross Bomber?
Neptune: No, this Kinnikuman has researched it previously. Why don’t we go with that!
Budo: Mask The End!
Neptune: Right!

179.
Announcer: Well, the Hell Missionaries are preparing for Kinnikuman’s Mask-Hunt---!!
Meat: Uwa—they’re going to take off Prince’s mask—
Terry: Now!

180.
Announcer: Are the Machineguns breaking apart again---!?
Neptune: He—y, I said we had no time, and yet you’re going on with a stupid break up? Budo, drag Kinnikuman into the ring!
Budo: Yes.
Neptune: Right!

181.
Neptune: Magnet Power +!
Budo: Magnet Power -!!
Neptune: Mask The End!!
Announcer: The Missionaries have made Kinnikuman’s head an axis and are spinning around his body---!!

182.-183.
Suguru: Owa—my head hurts, like it’s burning—
Mayumi: What is this rag?
Mayumi: Aah, this is a scrap of Suguru’s mask!!
Ashura: Due to them spinning their inserted bodies with both legs on Kinnikuman’s head, they’re shaving off Kinnikuman’s mask!!
Ashura: Right……like peeling an apple skin…!!
(End of Volume 22)

TN: Alright, I have this silly thought going through me: how in the world can something that seemed so cool like Mask the End...seem so wrong? I mean, I can't say I hate the technique considering how devastating it was used in this chapter. But...doesn't annihilating the Choujin mask defeat the whole purpose of Neptuneman? I thought his whole ordeal was to win the mask and hold on to it for...well, his trophies. (not saying his true purpose considering it isn't time yet) At this point the only thing I really can think of is that he'll probably pick up all the pieces of the Kinnikuman mask after the match and resew it together...but then it won't be Kinnikuman anymore, more like...um, Kinnikuman Leatherface? (somehow he was the first to come to mind, but I doubt I can imagine Suguru dancing around with a chainsaw) Aside from silly images regarding horror movies, the chapter was pretty screwed up regarding how Buffaloman's power was even usable by Suguru in the first place. I mean it's one thing if Suguru uses a weird combo of the Quarrel Bomber and the Hurricane Mixer, but...since when has Buffaloman's horns been living sectors of his own power? Heck, the whole matter regarding Buffaloman's horns are so inconsistent: one moment they are the source of his power, the next he can replace them like they're inorganic and not part of him. (still trying to figure out where the heck he got that new horn for Hurricane Heat if they're so vital as to who he is) It's matters like this that really make one wonder about how Choujin Power is accessed or transferred...or whatever.
