Kinnikuman 267

Suguru may claim he is fighting to defeat the Hell Missionaries for the sake of all his friends, but is literally alone facing down the Perfect Choujin duo! And worst of all: one of his allies problems may come back to haunt him...

Chapter 267: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (59): Doing Magnetism to the Magnetic!!

66.
Announcer: Alone on the battleground, Kinnikuman stands once again, glaring at the Perfect Choujin---!!
N. King: ………!?

67.
Neptune: Wh…why? Your body is further getting wounded as you keep standing over and over, and yet why!!
Suguru: I…I don’t know why either…but
Suguru: A mysterious power boils in my thinking about Warsman, Terryman, Buffaloman, Mongolman and my other allies!
N. King: Ga—hahaha, splendid. I want to praise your Friendship Power, but
N. King: Haven’t you realized yet? The accident in your body…
Suguru: An accident in my body…!?
N. King: Earlier, Mongolman surrendered to us without realizing this accident either…you’re repeating the same error as Mongolman.

68.
N. King: Thus, you are both inferior Choujin!!
Suguru: Ha…the metal fixtures in the ring are
Suguru: Owa
Robin: Ooh…the fixtures scattered through the ring are clinging to Kinnikuman’s body---!!
Ashura: No, more than clinging, it may be more appropriate that they’re being attracted to Kinnikuman’s body.
Brocken: What!?
N. King: Kinnikuman, the magnetism that has been emitted by us over this long time has been bathed by your body, thus your body is entirely tinged with magnetism.
Suguru: M…my body can control magnetism!!

69.
Suguru: Like Mongolman, I am similarly covered in magnetism thus I can’t escape from the techniques sent out by Neptuneman’s team!!
Neptune: Do you remember: the ultimate source of the tearing of Mongolman’s mask was we could control his body with magnetism!!
N. King: Well, Kinnikuman, you too are walking on the same road to hell like your buddy Mongolman!!
N. King: Magnet Power!!
Meat: Watch out, Prince--!!
Suguru: Owa—

70.
N. King: Uh, wh…what!!
N. King: Uo
Neptune: King!!
Announcer: Is there something wrong? The magnetic Choujin Neptune King is conversely being pulled to Kinnikuman----!!

71.
Suguru: Th…this is…!?
Suguru: Urya—

72.
Announcer: Kinnikuman, faces King approaching him from the front into a Jumping Neck Breaker Drop---!!
Neptune: It…can’t be, Kinnikuman has Magnet Power--!!
Audience: Ooh

73
Brocken: Why? Why can the magnetism that was patented by Perfect Choujin, is emitted from Kinnikuman’s body!?
Ashura: Wh—at: it’s simple. Due to the long battle, Kinnikuman’s body possesses magnetism, but Kinnikuman unexpectedly can control the magnetism.
Brocken: What does that mean?
Robin: The large quantity of magnetism his body was covered in linked with Kinnikuman’s Burning Inner Strength, producing a Kinnikuman-style Magnet Power!
Captions:
Right: BURNING INNER STRENGTH / BODY COVERED IN MAGNETISM
Left: BURNING INNER STRENGTH / KINNIKUMAN-STYLE MAGNET POWER
Brocken: Now I get it.
Suguru: Right: the magnetism covering my body can’t be excused as a condition for only the Perfect Choujin. This can be convenient!

74.
Suguru: Until now, I’ve been severely worried by your Magnet Power, but this makes us on equal ground!!
N. King: What are you babbling about? It’s best to understand our position to you inferior Choujin---!!
N. King: Neptuneman!!
Neptune: Right!!
Neptune: There
Announcer: Kinnikuman’s in a great crisis: Neptune King is in the stance for his deadly Megaton King Drop!!
Audience: Aah
Brocken: Kinnikuman!!
Robin: Somewhere, somewhere there’s a clue for escape…

75.
Robin: No: once King’s body is there, Kinnikuman’s body can’t get away from him; it’s a perfect technique!
Suguru: It really is a perfect special technique. However, if I use magnetism…
Suguru: Burning Magnet Power!!
Neptune: My…body is being pulled!!
Neptune: Uh.
Announcer: What’s wrong: Neptuneman is standing in Kinnikuman’s drop point----!!

76.
N. King: Megaton King Drop!!
N. King: What—
Announcer: Neptuneman’s body has become a cushion, allowing Kinnikuman to escape crashing into the canvas--!!
Neptune: Guhe
N. King: Neptuneman!!

77.
Suguru: The obstacle is out of the way. Thus this is a 1-on-1 match!
Suguru: Burning Magnet Power!!
N. King: Uh
N. King: What—Original Magnet Power!!
Announcer: However, Neptune King endures: this has become a big Magnet Power battle---!!
Mayumi: It’s been a tough competition with two opponents until now, but when it’s a solo battle, that’s Suguru’s forte!
Ashura: No! Kinnikuman’s disadvantage position has been revealed. He’s taking too many wounds from a really huge enemy…

78.
Suguru: King! This match is your Magnet Power and my Burning Inner Strength……whoever runs out of power first will lose.
N. King: Well, I won’t lose.
N. King: You yourself possess the Burning Inner Strength that has defeated Robin Mask, Buffaloman, Akuma Shogun and many powerful Choujin, but Burning Inner Strength isn’t infinite!!
N. King: However, the source of my Magnet Power is Earth, which possesses a nearly infinite energy. How could your limited Inner Strength challenge the energy of Earth?
Suguru: Ri…right, it’s as King said. The size of the vessels that contain the power between my body and Earth is too different!!

79.
N. King: Kukuku…due to that, understand that even if you were covered in it, the magnetism being emitted from your body is gradually decreasing in power!
Suguru: Ugu…my body is being pulled to Neptune King’s Magnet Power!!
Announcer: The power of Kinnikuman’s Magnet Power is slowly decreasing and Neptune King’s Magnet Power is increasing---!!
N. King: Playtime’s over.
N. King: Quarrel Bomber!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman’s Burning Inner Strength has been defeated--!!

80.
N. King: Neptuneman, let’s finish this!
Neptune: Right!!
Neptune: Sorya
Neptune: Full Release!!

81.
N. King: Electromagnetic Power!!
Announcer: The instant motor whirling the Missionaries’ Electromagnetic Power is rising--!!

82.
Announcer: And is creating thunderclouds in the sky---!!
Audience: Uwa—Kya—
N. King: Now!!

83.
N. King: Take this: Thunder Saber!!
Announcer: It’s the technique that brought Buffaloman to his death--!!
Suguru: Uwa

SPECIAL VTR XXX
KINNIKUMAN VS. NEPTUNE KING

TN: You know it could be easily argued the whole matter of "Burning Inner Strength Magnetism" being a really cheap, DEM matter of allowing Suguru to fight back against the Hell Missionaries...but to tell the truth, that's old news. You really should know by now that Burning Inner Strength always seems to have some sort of bizarre effect in regards to the fight and always seems to gain a new, stranger ability for each one. I mean, prior to this chapter, we've seen it:
-Awaken Suguru's muscle memory to defeat Robin Mask
-Allow for him to use techniques appropriately or to it's fullest, including his first true Kinniku Buster (against Warsman) or instinctively develop or master techniques like Kinniku Driver.
-Make Buffaloman spontaneously combust when he tried to absorb it
-Allow Suguru to throw back "the sun" when thrown by Planetman

You probably get the point by now, so thus having it somehow magically be able to control magnetism is probably not out of it's reach with everything else it can do. (but can it see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?) I did at least like that it did have a bit of a backfire in that the magnetism does only have limits to how much Suguru had absorbed...but somehow I think that was less a backfire and more just an excuse for...well, the next chapter.
