Kinnikuman 62

Vegas has been invaded by weirdoes...and I don't mean the usual ones! As the WSC and WSF prepare to clash, Suguru may be gaining success in the WSA operation...but for how much longer?

Chapter 62: Proof of Fumie
(TN: “Fumie” literally means “to step on an image”, but it’s context is primarily connected to an artifact with the engraving of Jesus Christ on it stepped on by Japanese by order of the Tokugawa Shogunate to show their loyalty to their religion and not to the outlawed religion of Christianity, which in this period was brought over by missionaries arriving in Nagasaki)

112-113.
Suguru: Ku kukukuku……just as planned………
Sheik: Isn’t this some misunderstanding on your part?
Harrison: Even after a bit, it’s all over! Chanelman is a spy of the Choujin Federation…
Sheik: Idiot, we’re being betrayed by you. We don’t remember him!!
Harrison: He—y, shut it!! Take on all of them--!!
Sheik: Uwa
Suguru: We did it, this is the end of both groups!!

114.
Suguru: Aah…
Harrison: Well that’s what did it.
Bozu: Right here.
Sheik: Fufufufu…
Harrison: Were sorry that we don’t need a synopsis, Chanelman…
Harrison: No, Kinnikuman!!
Harrison: You’re were successfully caught through our play!
Sheik: We knew that you two were acting for the Choujin Association from the moment Chanelman appeared.

115.
Suguru: Fufufufu……
Suguru: Ha hahahaha~~~!! I’m that Kinnikuman~~!?
Suguru: Don’t joke with me. I wouldn’t be together with that clumsy Choujin.
Meat: Certainly his heart was tense making that speech…
Suguru: You didn’t know that I’m from Africa. My home is Africa where we silence crybabies. You should fear the Brutal Choujin Chanelman!!
(TN: I really didn’t know whether to use “Zangyaku Choujin” or “Brutal Choujin”, but somehow it made more sense to translate “Zangyaku”)
Bozu: Why is an African Choujin like you in America?

116.
Suguru: Listen well. Since I was a child, I yearned to be the greatest Choujin in the world. However, that dream can’t come true in Africa……It was there I thought that I would enter the Choujin Federation, the Brutal Choujin maker, which is set up in Las Vegas. However, no one would face a nameless me. Thus so I could have my true power recognized, I was destroying every last one of the Choujin in the Choujin Council.
Meat: How could he say all that………
Sheik: H—mm, that’s what you were doing?
Harrison: How…how could you understand what he’s saying? Don’t get tricked by what’s born from Kinnikuman’s mouth.
Suguru: Well the reason I chose the Choujin Federation is because I admire champ Skull Boze…
Boze: I believe you! From now on, you’re The Chanelman, attached to the Choujin Federation.

117.
Bozu: However, you have to do this test………….
Suguru: Ge…dad’s picture!!
Suguru: Is…is there something I will do with this picture?
Bozu: Long ago, they conducted what was called “Fumie” in order to discover the Christians hidden in Japan. Here, you’re doing the Fumie as well.
Bozu: This is the picture of Kinnikuman’s father. So, if you’re not Kinnikuman, you should step on the picture.

118.
Meat: This…is nonsense. What sort of test is for a prince who has the least filial piety in the universe…………

119.
Suguru: How’s that?
Bozu: Ye…ye—s. You undertook our key precisely.
Bozu: Alright, you’re approved to join the Choujin Federation!!
Sheik: Skull, you’re selfish…
Harrison: Soft, you’re soft Sheik. How is that investigation supposed to prove that that guy isn’t Kinnikuman!!
Sheik: N…no, I…I was…
Bozu: Hey, this is Choujin Federation territory. Quiet yourself on how we do things!!
Harrison: Hmph, he’s not recognized by the Council even if recognized by you.

120.
Harrison: Right, if that’s how it is, then we’ll rip off his disguise ourselves. Get him!!

121.
Bozu: Chanelman is a guest of the Federation. I won’t permit you to take him!!
Harrison: Rhodes!!
Choujin: Ge…he ripped his upper lip to his brow…!!
Crowd: Hack Choujin, go home to New York!! Go home! Go home! Go home!
Harrison: What you’re doing is a joke. The rivalry of both organizations has become real.
Harrison: Fine then, Sheik. We of the Council will not be silent about this!!

122.
Bozu: Al—right, everyone, all guests in Las Vegas are guests at our super-splended hotel: Sheik The Tropicana!!
Suguru: Meat, what will we do?
Meat: The results are that both groups are fighting, so the operation’s a success…
Suguru: So shall we live it up with what we got?
Bozu: Chairman, he really is Kinnikuman!
Sheik: What!?
Sheik: So then, why did you do that earlier………

123.
Bozu: I had learned his true identity over there. After all, Kinnikuman goes around with his Choujin Olympic belt. I was eyeing a dispute for us and the Council.
Bozu: With that, I used that method to get that fight!! In brief, having Chanelman join us is the same as allowing in the Choujin World Belt!!
Sheik: That was the reason you cooked it up with him so we wouldn’t have interference from the outside?
Bozu: Of course!
Sheik: But, Skull, how do we expose his true identity…………
Bozu: Fufufufufu………I’ve got a good idea.
Bozu: Fufufufu……

124.
Bozu: Ha hahaha~~~!!
Sheik: He’s…a terrible man…
Narrator: Hotel Sheik The Tropicana
Suguru: WAHAHAHAHA~~~~
Book: Porn
Caption: You’ve jumped into the enemy’s bosom splendidly. By doing this, you should destroy the Choujin Federation from the inside. We’re extremely happy. Don’t let those guys recognize your true identity. (Doro Phreas)

TN: I know Skull Bozu is a creep and a monster, but he has a lot of class and a bit of cool in his evil mentality. Playing on the WSC's accusation of Kinnikuman being among them while knowing himself Kinnikuman was there and finding a way to reveal him in the worst possible way is just downright evil...not destructive or jerky like Kinkotsuman, but evil and manipulative to a tee. Not to mention the whole fumie bit where Suguru lets loose on the Mayumi pic was hilarious for some reason or another...but then again that's father-son matters none of us want to know about. My only real complaint of the chapter is just how easily Skull Bozu seems to really run the WSF, moreso than Sheik Alien does. I wouldn't be surprised if his boss was a cover for his own work, even if the whole WSF is essentially crooked.
