Kinnikuman 279
Scramble for the Kinniku Throne (6): Birdman: Hawkman!!
-> RTS Page for Kinnikuman 279
It's bad enough that Suguru has to face potentially five opponents alone in order to even escape Kumamoto Castle on his journey to be king...but what's worse: the first of the five is a two flying avian nightmares in one!
Chapter 279: Scramble for the Kinniku Throne (6): Birdman: Hawkman!!
(TN: Silly note: “Birdman” is “Choujin” in Japanese, similar to the “Choujin” as “Supermen” as is the typical “Choujin” in this series, but different Kanji)
107.
Announcer: Hawkman is putting his left and right wings on his body, becoming a giant bullet---!!
Announcer: And is plunging, aiming for Kinnikuman---!!
108.

Meat: Aah!!
Caption: OSAKA CASTLE—
Mayumi: Aah!!
Announcer: Hawkman’s Spiral Bullet has pierced into Kinnikuman’s heart---!!
Mayumi: Mama—Suguru hasn’t died yet.
110.
Announcer: Somehow just before the Spiral Bullet had reached Kinnikuman’s heart, he caught it with both hands, preventing it---!!
Suguru: Watch out, watch out.
Meat: Grea—t, Prince!!
Hawk: It…can’t be: I didn’t stab his heart with my perfect speed, timing and impact…
Flight: Hawkman, Kinnikuman, who caught your deadly Spiral Bullet, has this massive a power: that’s his Burning Inner Strength, which is feared by we Evil Gods.
Hawk: Th…this is the Burning Inner Strength, said that may even surpass the Hundred Million Power of the Choujin Gods…
111.
Meat: Wh…what’s that sound!?
Meat: What? That’s the sound of TV cameras being used for relaying this!!
Hawk: I too am in a place where I’m sick of living just as a soldier Choujin.
Hawk: Right here, I’ll defeat Kinnikuman’s Burning Inner Strength and be recognized by the Evil Gods—
112.
Announcer: Aah!! The hawk that was adorning Hawkman’s head is transforming into a birdman~~~!!
113.
Announcer: And is pushing Kinnikuman down--!!
Suguru: Owa—
Announcer: Somehow Kinnikuman has been thrown into a Front Suplex, taking both the hawk and Hawkman---!!
114.
Suguru: Uuh…
Suguru: Ah…That hawk!! Isn’t that hawk somehow……!
115.

Robin: Except for those that are stated in the iron-clad rules in a singles match…
Radio: Kinnikuman is already down—
Robin: Robert, you can’t bring a radio into class.
Robert: I’m sorry, but in Japan, your close friend Kinnikuman-san is getting quite hurt by the Mariposa team.
“Child Choujin”: And if the Kinnikuman Team’s Kinnikuman gets defeated, then later those five must be fought by just Meat-kun.
116.
Students: Robin-sensei, since we’re fine with it, quickly go to save Kinnikuman-san!! Please!! Teacher!
Robin: Th…thanks, but as the Choujin Chief of Staff, I’m in a neutral position for everyone…if I go to save just Kinnikuman now, I’ll be training you in lies.
Robin: We shall continue class.
Robert: Teacher…
Radio: Well, Kinnikuman is in a pinch again!!
Caption: AMERICA – TEXAS: CHOUJIN SCHOOL: GRAPPLING DEPARTMENT—
117.
Announcer: Well, will Kinnikuman stand---!!
Announcer: He’s down again!!
“Choujin”: Our class for this afternoon is to watch the Scramble for the Throne Survival Match, with a theme of studying the steps of our senpai Choujin, but…Terry-sensei seems to be watching this strictly……
Student: Teacher, that’s enough TV; please teach me the way to do a Spinning Toe Hold.
Terry: Dickieman, I’m a tad tired. In place of class, I suggest you do that…
118.
Dickie: Teacher…
Terry: I’m sorry Kinnikuman. If I could, I want to run over there right now and support you!! However, as a Choujin Staff Officer, I can’t do that in the position of guiding young Choujin!!
Terry: ……………
Terry: If only I didn’t have these Choujin Staff Officer medals…
119.
Announcer: Well, Kinnikuman has twisted his leg and can’t stand very well--!!
Meat: Prince, hold on—
Suguru: Uuh—this is painful. My head is splitting~~~
Suguru: Ooh, Robin, Terry, have you come?
Suguru: Hu…hurry and switch with me.
Suguru: ……………
Hawk: Ho—hoho~~~~
120.
Hawk: Kinnikuman, in your fights until now, you’ve really been overloaned the help of the other Justice Choujin. Due to this, you appear to have a naive expectation that someone will save you whenever you’re visited by crisis. However, this time you have no one!!
Suguru: That may be true…………I always have many allies by my side…
Suguru: But this fight is different...
Suguru: I have to fight so that I myself can be recognized as the Great King of the Planet Kinniku…
Suguru: Therefore, I can’t hold anyone’s hand!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman is standing up with energy, as if the damage he took earlier was a lie----!!
121.
Suguru: Too
Suguru: He—y, Hawkman, that’s as far as you go—
Announcer: What exactly is Kinnikuman thinking? He’s suddenly hanging from the lights on the ceiling---!!
Mariposa: Fufufu, well, he’s thinking the wrong thing. Hawkman, this is interesting…fall into the trap.
Hawk: Right.
Hawk: Ta—
122.
Hawk: Spiral Bullet--!!
Suguru: Get a bit closer…
Hawk: Die—
Suguru: Now!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman has barely avoided it and he crashed into the lights---!!
123.
Announcer: Due to Hawkman destroying the lights, the arena seems to have only become dimmed!!
Hawk: Wh…where is he? Where is Kinnikuman?
Mariposa: What are you doing, Hawkman? Isn’t Kinnikuman in front of your eyes?
Suguru: It’s impossible, Mariposa-san. Here’s why: birds are night-blind; their eyes aren’t effective at night.
Mariposa: Ge—
Suguru: You’ve successfully fallen for my trap--!!
124.
Announcer: Kinnikuman is rapid-firing Drop Kicks, not giving an opening for rest for his opponent--!!
Meat: Ya—y.
Hawk: Hohoho, there is a bird who can see in the dark…
125.
Announcer: The hawk on Hawkman’s head has changed his form now into an owl---!!
Hawk: Transform: Owl Eyes---!!
Suguru: Owa—
TN: It's really been a long time in saying this and in coming but...this chapter was sort of cool, probably even important. Why is it important, you may ask? Well mainly because Suguru, for the first time in forever, has realized that he can fight on his own without all this "friendship" and "brotherhood" and "backing up" crap he's had at least since the Planetman fight! My assumption is that by this point in the story, after having gone through a really long stretch where Suguru basically has won every single one of his matches alongside or due to one of his allies being there or influencing it in one way or another, the audience reading the chapter had forgotten that Suguru can and has won matches on his own (lest we forget, not counting the Kaijuu era, the fights with Curry Cook, Ramenman...sort of, Jessie Malvia (though that's sort of weird since we had Kamehame training and backing him up so that's a maybe), the Robin Mask rematch (prior to Kinkotsuman ruining it), King Cobra, Benkiman, Wolfman, Stecase King, Black Hole, Sneagator...and probably a few others but I think that is most of them) and that he really doesn't need his friends holding his hand, guiding him in every single match he has! Likewise, when on his own, we're able to see Suguru as a strong capable fighter who can fight and make things up on the fly in order to win and who isn't as dumb in the ring as many tend to believe. Heck, aside from Hawkman (who is annoying...and bald) turning his hawk into an owl at the end, he was able to figure him out using his knowledge of birds! See, sometimes you just have to trust yourself...
Which brings us to the other, stupid part of the chapter! Let's just start with this: considering (and assuming) that the coronation disaster was just about an hour or so ago, how the heck did Terry and Robin suddenly not just leave Japan but start their jobs...um...there? And let's continue on that train of thought: why are they acting so stupid with their "DUH, I WANT TO HELP BUT I'M AN OFFICIAL AND MUST STAY NEUTRAL NOW!" I think that seeing Suguru would have an easy time if his "friends" were helping him, they just decided to give them these so-called "jobs" so they could be knocked out of the way and give Suguru a crisis this early in the arc before we start getting re-inundated with "friendship crap". Besides: considering that technically the king is currently Mayumi (well I still think so), they wouldn't be biased in helping a candidate like Suguru and therefore wouldn't lose their jobs...which for some reason, I find hilarious that Terry is randomly at some Choujin U in Texas...and Robin's classroom "seems" to have "female" Choujin...when we don't even see any fighting except for the V-Jump version of Nisei! It's just so nuts!
One more silly thought: I find it strange that I'm dealing with a "Choujin" as in a "birdman" with Hawkman...at the same time as we have a "Choujinken" in the chapters I'm translating in "Sakigake! Otokojuku" (Hien for those who want to know) Sort of makes me wonder if somehow Hawkman would want to use the Youkasatsu...then again, I also had weird images with the title considering it had "Birdman: Hawkman"...and of course combining both a DC hero and some Hanna-Barbera hero together in one title is just...weird.

So far the crazy things you mentioned we should just leave it be... (I dont think we might have the proper explaination for this) It may seem like Terry and Robin are thinking about raising the younger choujins so they could be strong as well. They were thinking about the future. But yes, I could just jump there and yell at them to go to Japan.
I did notice that Suguru has only depended on himself in the early fights (even if it was Kaijuu fighting). Kinnikuman was smart enough to know that when he was fighting Hawkman. But in the previous chapter, Kinnikuman peed on himself again. Well he may be good in the ring but he still has a bit of cowardice. But he will be strong in his fights.
Suguru may have confidence problems but whenever he's in the ring, he knows what to do. He just has fighter's instinct and can figure an enemy out given time and figuring out their tricks. The problem is he's a tad rusty since he hasn't had truly a solo, non-assist fight since Sneagator, thus why he had to rediscover it with this fight with Hawkman.
