Announcer: However, Tazahama-san, why did Terryman resort to foul play?
Tazahama: Well, perhaps his mentality had changed?
Voice: Terryman’s a jackass--!! Die----!!
Suguru: Wahahaha, you’re pitiful, Terry. It’s cause you couldn’t face your antagonist that you went overboard thinking that he was weak in wins by foul play!!

186.
SFX: SLAP
Suguru: Wh…what was that for!
Terry: Natsuko, stop it.
Natsuko: No, I can’t take this anymore.
Natsuko: It’s because Terry had saved Kin-chan…he was shot in his left leg by Kinkotsuman’s rifle. Did you think he could go through that match honestly with that leg!?
Meat & Robin: WHAAAT?

187.
Terry: Forgive me, Robin…This leg made me try to get a ring-out win with everything I had…
Robin: The winner was you!
Robin: Switch places with me and go forward to the finals ring.
Terry: Ro…Robin Mask…
Terry: You’re that sort of guy…
SFX: CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Suguru: Ooh, he can’t.
Suguru: No, I would refuse that final. So, Terryman, switch places with me and go forward to the finals ring.
Terry: Ooh, you’re that sort of guy…
Meat: Really, it’s because he’s calculating…
Terry: No, ultimately the final can only occur with both the two of you.
Suguru: Ooh, you’re that sort of guy…

188.
Announcer: This…was moving. This friendship. Well...this has been a magnificent honor!
SFX: CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Voices: AMAZING—THIS IS GREAT!
Sign: Kinnikuman’s Waiting Room
Natsuko: A—h, you still don’t have bandages on you…
Terry: Sorry, sorry, I didn’t forget, I thought that Kinnikuman would tell me the capture strategy for Robin Mask.
Suguru: Really, that dumb Terryman……
Suguru: If he had changed, then he shouldn’t cry hey hey…
Meat: You shouldn’t insult anyone.
Terry: ……
Suguru: And furthermore, if he had changed from back then, what would we have thought…
Terry: Natsuko, I’ve got to kill Kinnikuman……!
Natsuko: Te…Terry
(End of Volume 3)

189.
Meat: The 4th Volume of Kinnikuman will finally be the final match! See you then!

TN: Once again I'm extremely surprised that I got another easy chapter...but it was still a tad strange one. In some ways, you could sort of see Terry feeling guilty regarding his rude and obnoxious ways in the ring...but at the same time, Suguru brings up an interesting point at the end: has Terryman really changed from the loud, rude American that he was way back at the start of the series? Sure he acts heroic but he did pack a six-shooter and originally even fought kaijuu for money! We have seen him change quite a bit since then and Natsuko does believe he's better than that but the ending, particularly with Terry snapping once again, is possibility that he still has a bit of a dark side and demons he has to expel...well that or just shut up Kinnikuman before he just goes too far with his comments! And Robin Mask...well, he was as gentlemanly as he possibly could be but of course he just wants to show civility and show that...well, Terry has been hanging out with Kinnikuman too long. Somehow or another, this brings an end to vol. 3, and with vol. 4 coming up...well, we'll be seeing the rest of the story soon enough but at the same time a lot of it won't be told by me...but I'll get to that when we get to that.
