Kinnikuman 268

Although Suguru has been attempting to fight forever on his own, the combined power of Neptune King and Neptuneman may have sent him to wit's end. But he should not forget that this may still be a 2-on-2 tag match...

Chapter 268: Dream Choujin Tag Arc (60): The Perfect Friendship!!

85.
N. King: Take this—
Suguru: Owa
Announcer: Thunder Saber is attacking Kinnikuman---!!
Suguru: Hi! Owa!
Suguru: Owa—

87.
N. King: It’s still early to be relieved!!
N. King: Our attack isn’t over yet. Because the lightning that is the basis of the Thunder Saber can rain down infinitely!
Audience: Wa—

88.
N. King: Kinnikumna, how long will your slight remaining power
N. King: Withstand my infinite Thunder Saber hell? How about showing me--!!
Meat: Aah!!
Suguru: Owa! Awa!

89.
Suguru: Uh
Suguru: !
Neptune: Ha—hahaha, don’t forget we’re a tag team. Be careful not just for the right but the left too!
Neptune: Sorya
Suguru: Hie—

90.
Announcer: Kinnikuman is being made sport by the attacks from every direction by the intolerable Missionaries--!!
Suguru: Uwa Owa
Robin: I…thought that the day would come someday, but it can’t be that Choujin who hold a power that exceed Burning Inner Strength have appeared…
Ashura: Even I as a devil usually aren’t surprised, but I admire merely the bottomless strength of the Perfect Choujin!
Meat: How could all of you be so timid? Prince’s Burrning Inner Strength hasn’t been defeated yet!!
Ashura: Bu…but
Meat: Burning Inner Strength is supported by his friendship with everyone. The timidness of all of you is a reason why his Inner Strength has weakened!

91.
Meat: Well, everyone, please believe in the miracle by raising a cheer for Prince.
Brocken: As Meat-kun said: we have to believe in Kinnikuman’s power much more.
Ashura: Ki…Kinnikuman, I’m a devil, but I’ll be cheering for you for just today—
Robin: Kinnikuman, show more complexion! Firm your legs and behind too and you can fight for one more hour!!
Audience: Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman, Kinnikuman
Suguru: Ev…everyone……

92.
N. King: He—y, I really hate this mood!!
Suguru: Too—
Suguru: Burning Inner Strength!!

93.
Suguru: Uwa
Suguru: Uwa
Announcer: Kinnikuman has been pierced in his arms, legs and mask by the Thunder Sabers, nailing him to the canvas---!!
Suguru: I…can’t move!!
Audience: AAH…

94.
N. King: Guroro…every time you’ve stood in a pinch until now, you’ve certainly come to conquer by way of your Burning Inner Strength, but now that your whole body has been sealed, it’s now impossible.
Meat: That idiot—even if Prince’s entire body has been sealed, his Burning Inner Strength will truly cause a miracle anywhere—
Robin: Calm down, Meat-kun!

95.
Brocken: A…hand!!
Brocken: Bu…but the ones who could be fighting are just King and Neptuneman in the air and Kinnikuman nailed to the ring…so, that hand is…!?
N. King: Kinnikuman, now you finish paying your taxes! However, don’t be calm: even as you die, a thousand Perfect Choujin, including me, will splendidly protect this Earth—
N. King: Kinnikuman, take this Deadly Cross to your chest—
Announcer: Well, Neptune King is sending down a Deadly Cross aiming for Kinnikuman, who can’t effectively move his body freely—

96.
Announcer: B…but that’s…
Brocken: Kinnikuman’s Burning Inner Strength has caused another miracle!!
Announcer: Te…Terryman---!!
Announcer: Terryman, who should be dead, has revived once again---!!
Announcer: It is Terry--!!

97.
Suguru: You should be dead, Terry, so why…!?
Robin: Thunder Saber. The electric shock of Thunder Saber pierced into the left-side of Terryman’s chest has once again revived Terryman’s once-stopped heart!!
Robin: However, though the function of his heart revived with the electric shock, the function of his soul had stopped! Thus his heading to rescue Kinnikuman was!
Brocken: Friendship. It was done by friendship!
Mayumi: ……………

98.
Suguru: It’s as you said: ultimately it is our hearts to believe that is perfect!
Neptune: Even if you’ve done that, now’s our chance--!!
Robin: Above!
Suguru: Uh.
Announcer: Kinnikuman has flatly taken Neptuneman’s Deadly Cross to his left-arm---!!

99.
Neptune: Wh…what’s that sound!?
Suguru: Perfect Choujin, somehow alongside Terryman, you’ve awakened one more massive Choujin from his slumber!!
Suguru: Buffaloman, your heart to believe is perfect too!
N. King: Hey, Neptuneman, we’ll use the Cross Bomber!
Neptune: Right!!
N. King: Cross Bomber--!!
Announcer: It’s the Hell Missionaries’ treasured trump card: the Cross Bomber---!!

100.
Suguru: Sorya

101.
Suguru: Burning Uneven Parallel Bars!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman has used Buffaloman’s Long Horn to splendidly escape from the Cross Bomber---!!

102.
N. King: Ugu…
Neptune: ………….
Neptune: In that case, Double Magnet Power!!
Suguru: O…Owa—what is this Magnet Power!?
Suguru: This is the most intense until now!!
Suguru: Te…Terry!!

103.
Suguru: Bu…Buffaloman…………
Suguru: Aah!! Warsman…!
Suguru: Ooh!! Wolfman, Doctor Bombe and Kamehame too!!

TN: Yeah, I think from the way the last chapter ended, it was sort of obvious that somehow the Thunder Saber was going to bring back Terry. In a weird way, it actually makes a bit of sense, as ludicrous as it was to somehow have him get struck by lightning to revive his heart as he laid prone skewered by a bunch of spikes due to how shocks revive people anyway. But...that's probably the only really cool, slightly appropriate factor in this chapter sadly. (appropriate as in it's ludicrous...but it makes sense) First of all, while totally against the whole factor of Buffaloman's arm being in Suguru and magically giving him powers and such (though not even mentioned amidst the magnetic "Burning Inner Strength" in the last chapter), wasn't it completely broken a few chapters ago? It just seemed to magically be working again...but that's not even the half of it! What about that ending...yeah I get the whole friendship nonsense they've been pushing down our throats all arc, but why the heck are several of those characters even there...I get Buffaloman and Terry considering the arc...I even get Kamehame with all the crap we've had and his corpse right outside the arena causing a stink, but why the heck are Wolfman and Doctor Bombe there...heck, even Warsman is a bit less probable since he really wasn't tied to a lot of Suguru's friendship problems outside tangentially at the start of the arc! Though...at least the "uneven parallel bars" attack was funny enough to soften the blow of this sudden increase of stupidity in the ending.

And that's not even mentioning the sudden magical appearance of those keyholes since the last chapter...yeah the explanation is coming but isn't it weird they're there with no explanation so far!?
