Kinnikuman 345

With the completion of his Defend Suit, the last thing Satan Cross and Team Phoenix needed was for Suguru to follow suit...but now with Ashuraman unlocking the last parts, this could make this into the ultimate even fight!

Volume 32: The Blood Legend!!
Chapter 345: Scramble for the Kinniku Throne (71): True Wrestling Spirit!!

7.
Ashura: Well, my equipping items scattered in the Magic-Square ring.
Ashura: React to the order wave released from this crown---!!
Geronimo: Ooh…look: Ashuraman’s equipping items are opening the black windows which sleeps Kinnikuman’s Defend Suit, one after another---!!

8.
Announcer: Ashuraman’s nine equipping items, which are reacting to the order wave released from Ashuraman’s crown, opening up all of the black windows of the Magic-Square ring---!!

9.
Suguru: The…black windows which are hidden my Defend Suit are all open…what exactly is happening…
Suguru: Ashuraman, why are you loaning your power thought you should be opposing us as a member of Team Soldier?
Ashura: Soldier, who was our leader, was Kinniku Ataru, your big brother and the elder brother of the Kinniku Clan. Even though he participated in the Scramble for the Throne, it was for Kinnikuman, his little brother, to become the champion. If this is equal, it is natural for those who were his team members of Soldier, who has now been erased from this world, to achieve this dearest wish in place of Soldier; that’s because Soldier’s dream is the dream of all of us: myself, Buffaloman, Brocken Jr. and The Ninja.

10.
Suguru: A…Ashuraman…
Ashura: Kinnikuman, you’re being saved not by Ashuraman! It’s by Kinniku Ataru, your older brother!!
Suguru: A loving clout remains from so much of a Choujin, even if it comes to not from this world. Big bro Ataru…
Suguru: Somehow I will bring close your situation: at any cost, I will win through this Scramble for the Throne!!
Robin: Kinnikuman, take it: the Defend Suit of love and friendship sent to you from Kinniku Ataru and Ashuraman---!!

11.
Announcer: Kinnikuman’s remaining nine Defend Suit parts have all flown out from the black window sections that have opened by Ashuraman’s nine equipping items---!!
S. Teacher: If Kinnikuman takes those, he can fight evenly with an entirely-equipped me.
Phoenix: Satan Cross, what are you doing: shouldn’t you prevent Kinnikuman from completely equipping his Defend Suit---!!
S. Teacher: Forgive me, Kinnikuman: I want to challenge you in a fair and square, even battle but I’m a Choujin employed for the victory of Team Phoenix after all.

12.
S. Teacher: Miracle Sheet.
Announcer: Satan Cross has now taken out from his chest place a transparent Miracle Sheet…
S. Teacher: Barrier Ball!!
Suguru: What’s that!?
Announcer: Satan Cross’ transparent Miracle Sheet has become a giant sphere, wrapping up the Defend Suit and completely isolating them from Kinnikuman---!!

13.
Suguru: No, it’s unpertubed!
Phoenix: Ha—hahaha: even if you have taken out your Defend Suit with long hardships, it has no meaning if you can’t equip it.
S. Teacher: …………
Ashura: Samson Teacher, no matter how you’ve changed into the form of Satan Cross, the personification of evil, I think you haven’t lost the fair spirit of being a true wrestler! However, that wasn’t it: the you now is a devilish brute who’s rotten even in his spirit!! You’re a heretic---!!
Phoenix: Satan Cross, isn’t it being the ultimate compliment for us to be “devilish brutes” and “heretics”—
Suguru: N? What’s that wind……

14.
Suguru: A hole: a hole has opened in the Barrier Ball and wind is coming out from there---!!
S. Teacher: What: it’s stupid that there’s a hole in the Barrier Ball!!
Phoenix: Satan Cross, doubt has arisen in your heart when you confined Kinnikuman’s Defend Suit into the Barrier Ball.
S. Teacher: Th…that’s…
Phoenix: That doubt has opened a faint hole in the Barrier Ball.
S. Teacher: …………
Suguru: I may be able to take out my Defend Suit using that hole.
Suguru: Return, Magic Square!!

15.
Announcer: Kinnikuman is weaving up the Magic Square into the form of an origami crane---!!
Suguru: Square Crane!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman has stabbed the faint hole of the Barrier Ball with the beak of the giant crane---!!

16.
Announcer: The Barrier Ball has been broken into small pieces and the nine Defend Suit parts that were imprisoned inside are being equipped to Kinnikuman’s body one after another---!!

17.
Announcer: Well, Kinnikuman is finally coming to just take the final one of his Defend Suit parts---!!
Suguru: Neck Guard!!
Board: DEFEND SUIT COMPLETE
Suguru: Defend Suit Equipping Complete!!

18.
S. Teacher: I…I had done that, but that’s throwing salt on an enemy before their eyes! This too is entirely my problem that I may be devoted to a heartless demon!!
S. Teacher: I’ll take off that Defend Suit---!!
Announcer: Satan Cross is swooping down with his manipulating hands--!!
Suguru: Owa!!
Announcer: Somehow Kinnikuman’s chest plate has bore jaws like the mouth of a beast, opening into a shield!

19.
S. Teacher: Geee! You’ve bitten off my manipulating hand!!
Suguru: I seemed to have heard from you that the Defend Suit is a thing that’s for protecting the body from any techniques. In short: the inside of my Defend Suit has been equipped with a defensive item that has protected me from your manipulating hands.
S. Teacher: My techniques can never be prevented!!
Audience: AAH

20.
Announcer: Satan Cross has taken down Kinnikuman’s body in a frenzied sensation and gone into a Spinning Toe Hold---!!
Announcer: 2nd turn!!
Announcer: 3rd turn!!
Suguru: Spinning Toe Hold Defense!!
Announcer: Pointed blades have emerged from the thigh guard and leg guard of Kinnikuman’s Defend Suit---!!

21.
Suguru: How’s that, do you get it: the pain having the techniques that you send out all being prevented----!!
Announcer: Kinnikuman has gone around to Satan Cross’ back and has released a Back Drop---!!
Announcer: However, the manipulating hands from both of Satan Cross’ shoulder guards have flown out, preventing it---!!

22.
Announcer: If an opponent has their technique defended, then now they defend an opponent’s technique! This surely is continuing with seesawing attacks and defense!!
Suguru: You’ve done it, Satan Cross…
S. Teacher: Same for you, Kinnikuman…it’s been a long time for me that I’ve gotten a good sweat.
Ashura: The duo in the ring has sprouted into exchanging their hearts, understanding themselves only as fellow first-class Choujin who are fighting!! Samson Teacher really hadn’t lost his true wrestling spirit!!
Ashura: But it would be best if this wasn’t hindered by one who doesn’t really think of this fair fight of Kinnikuman and Samson Teacher but.

23.
Mammoth: Hey, with both of them perfectly equipped with Defend Suits, all of the techniques both send out will get defended; we won’t ever reach a conclusion.
Phoenix: But the Defend Suits aren’t perfect…
Phoenix: The Defend Suit was made to only defend against techniques that are sent out by one opponent in a single match to the end…thus, if it’s a double-team attack…
Phoenix: Parasite Choujin nesting in the body of Choujin teacher Samson Teacher: now it’s your turn---!!
S. Cross: I’ve been waiting for when I’d take your call—
(TN: I mentioned before: after his revelation in the Ashuraman fight, I only refer to ‘Satan Cross’ in the script to the parasite with the main body referred to as ‘Samson Teacher’)
Announcer: The parasite Satan Cross is jumping out from Satan Cross’ body---!!
S. Teacher: Parasite Satan Cross, I don’t remember calling for you!!
S. Cross: Samson, rightly open your eyes!

24.
S. Cross: It’s best you defeat Kinnikuman, even if we use a dirty trick, so Phoenix-sama can take the Throne of Planet Kinniku!!
S. Cross: Well, Samson, let’s stop Kinnikuman’s life together with me.
S. Teacher: No—I want to fight fairly one-on-one with Kinnikuman to the end!!
Announcer: The parasite Satan Cross is suddenly tossed up Kinnikuman high into the air!!
S. Cross: Well, we’ll start it with you----!!

25.
Announcer: This technique is the rising art that Satan Cross came to strangle to death The Ninja in his previous match: the Triangle Dreamer---!!

(SCRAMBLE FOR THE KINNIKU THRONE ARC)
SPECIAL VTR LXI (XXXXXXI)
SATAN CROSS VS. KINNIKUMAN

TN: I'm surprised I'm saying this...again, but this was another great chapter. The whole thing was a continuation and a building culmination of the previous chapter showing that Samson Teacher and Satan Cross (the parasite) are growing further and further apart. All of Samson Teacher's mistakes are not just merely him blundering but him showing doubt of what Team Phoenix believes in and that he just isn't with them as much as he thought, particularly now with Ashuraman making him realize his original nature. He still shows loyalty to Phoenix mostly due to his promise to work for them back when originally given the parasite, but Samson Teacher keeps giving "holes" (some say unintentional but some could also say intentionally) to allow for Suguru to fight fairly. It's strange but somehow a lot of these teacher/master types have been getting these strong moments compared to the main cast (such as Prince Kamehame and Ataru) and now Samson Teacher can be added in on a character getting good development by this factor...too bad the next chapter is going to screw it up somewhat.
