Kinnikuman 282

Fighting against a living video camera is nothing new for Suguru, but that may be the least of his worries: with Mister VTR's editing techniques, can he fight back against a battleground that can be turned against him!?

Announcer: The moment that Mister VTR inserted an ocean slide as Kinnikuman’s scenery projecting on the monitor, a huge ocean has appeared around the ring as well—
Suguru: They’re…the same. The ocean in the monitor image and the ocean surrounding the same are the exact same!!
VTR: Ka—kaka, so then, wouldn’t it be there? Whatever situation occurs to you in the monitor, the exact same situation will personally befall you in reality!

167.
Mariposa: The Scene Changer, which will change the conditions of this fight one after another by changing the monitor’s scenery…you have magnificent results every time I see this, Mister VTR!
VTR: Mariposa-sama is honoring me with praise. From here, please
VTR: Praise me once again after I take Kinnikuman’s life!
Announcer: Mister VTR is suddenly got Kinnikuman in an Airplane Spin----!!
Announcer: And has tossed away Kinnikuman’s body aiming for the raging mad ocean----!!

168.
Suguru: Ke, even this ocean is ultimately nothing more than an illusion created by VTR’s image.
Suguru: O…Owa—this is a real ocean----!!
VTR: Idiot, the world that I create is all real---!!
Meat: Prince, someday you should be taught the Kinniku Swim Style by the Great King---!!
Suguru: Ooh, of course. I have the Kinniku Swim Style, passed down for generations of the Kinniku Clan!

Caption: OSAKA CASTLE—
Mayumi: Gyahahaha, great, Suguru, use your arms and legs more----!!
Sayuri: Dear, you’re acting indecent.
Suguru: I had thought about it: I experienced this with an underwater deathmatch with Devil Choujin Atlantis!!
VTR: Kakaka…you’re naïve. What you experienced in your fight with Atlantis was fighting in a pond.
VTR: However, don’t forget this is different from a quiet pond; it’s an ocean filled with the fury of nature.
Suguru: N?

170.
Suguru: Owa—huge swirls are whirling on the ocean surface----!!
(TN: He says “uzu”, merely “swirl”, not “uzumaki” or “whirlpool”)
Announcer: Mister VTR has set up a slide of whirling tides----!!
VTR: TA—
VTR: Ka—kakaka, die—
Suguru: Uwa—

171.
Suguru: Owa—
Announcer: Kinnikuman is quickly being swallowed within the swirls----!!
Meat: Prince, swim and escape.
Suguru: I can’t swim well since generally the power of tides is stronger!!
VTR: These whirling tides have swallowed within many boats in the past; destroying them and making them float now as fragments of their shipwrecks on the ocean’s surface…no matter how much Choujin try, they shouldn’t be able to swim through these rapids!!

172.
Suguru: Well—it’s as VTR said: fragments of shipwrecks---!!
Suguru: Will this happen to me too now?
Announcer: Will Kinnikuman drown to death without laying a hit on Mister VTR----!!
Meat: Prince—

173.
Announcer: Kinnikuman has sunk into the depths of the ocean----!!
Audience: Ki…Kinnikuman has!!
Mariposa: You’ve served me well, Mister VTR!
VTR: I’m delighted for your gratitude.
Voice: It’s too early to be delighted, VTR!!

174.
Suguru: Burning Big Wave—
Announcer: Kinnikuman has turned a shipwreck fragment into a surfboard and has escaped from within the raging whirls---!!
Meat: Prince—
Suguru: Uo—
Suguru: Now it’s my turn---!!

175.
Announcer: It’s an intense Kinnikuman’s Jumping Knee Pat---!!
Suguru: Now you’ll taste the ocean too—
Announcer: Kinnikuman is plunging into the big rapids together with VTR--!!
VTR: Scene Changer---!!
Suguru: What?

176.
Meat: The…ocean it was until now has completely changed into a giant iceberg zone!!
Announcer: Due to an instant Scene Changer by Mister VTR, he has avoided Kinnikuman’s Bull Docking Headlock by reproducing his place from the ocean to an iceberg zone----!!
VTR: Somehow you seem to have weakness in not being able to read forward developments.
VTR: Take this—

177.
Suguru: Guwa
Announcer: Kinnikuman appears to have taken great damage.
Meat: Prince—please take a rest. I’ll fight from here.
Suguru: No…not yet.
Suguru: Guo
Announcer: Though he has taken that much damage, Kinnikuman is further putting in all the power of his body into a Bear Hug--!!
VTR: Kakaka, by using my camera lens, I’ll show you something interesting!!

178.
VTR: Camera Lens Zoom Out!!
Meat: AAH…

179.
Suguru: Wh…what’s going on…VTR is suddenly heavy…
Suguru: Guo
Meat: Ge—Prince’s body has shrunk to half the size of Mister VTR---!!
Suguru: What—my body has----!!

180.
VTR: Even if you’ve recognized it now, you’re too late!!
Suguru: Owa—what’s going on—
Meat: Prince, please be careful of that lens—
Meat: Mister VTR is zooming out your image…in short, since he’s filming you smaller, your body is getting smaller too---!!
Captions:
Top Right: ZOOM OUT
Bottom Right: PERSON IN IMAGE GETS SMALLER
Left: ORIGINAL GETS SMALLER TOO
Meat: Therefore, as that camera lens continues to film you, your body will become smaller----!!

181.
Suguru: So then it’s dangerous to face him from the front!!
VTR: Well, a chance to
VTR: Run away---!!
Announcer: The giant Mister VTR has thrown a fierce Counter Kick towards Kinnikuman---!!
Suguru: Uuh…

182.
VTR: There: be quiet like that.
VTR: Now I can shrink you like nothing so I can trample on you!
VTR: Ka—kaka—
Announcer: There’s nothing more Kinnikuman can do now----!!

183.
Suguru: Mister VTR! Zoom Out your own body---!!
VTR: Gyaa—
(End of Volume 24)

TN: I know I said this last chapter but let me repeat this again: Mister VTR is just too powerful for his own good. He's so powerful that even the mangaka who adopted him from a kid's idea has to make up things to make sure Suguru can survive and win the match! Not that it's a bad thing considering it's a fun fight, but to literally have the pieces of a shipwreck appear in the scene as they're mentioned just so Suguru can use them later...it had to be done or else the match would be over! Though one thing that isn't as absurd as you'd think: Suguru's surfing via "Burning Inner Strength": considering how much weirder things Burning Inner Strength has done in this series, at least Suguru surfing with it makes more sense than...well, Batman doing it. (see a horrible season 3 ep of the Adam West series...or Schuelmacher's putrid second movie in the franchise) And as for the weird Zoom Out bit...well, that whole scenario was weird, not much more I really can say about it...that and Suguru using the ice against VTR was a nice touch.

BTW: I did like the reference back to the Atlantis fight...but I can't quite remember if Suguru did learn that "special Kinniku Clan Swimming Style" before then or if it was just tacked on now to show how special they were.
