Kinnikuman 84

Note: there are a couple chapters between the previous chapter I translated and this, please read those first.

Suguru went back to Planet Kinniku to visit his family, but has returned to Earth with a runaway girlfriend (well at least in her head!) But can Kinnikuman and Bibinba really live together under the same (extremely cramped) roof!?

Chapter 84: Bibinba Heads Out

45.
Voice: Get up you two--!!
Suguru: Who’s that---?
Suguru & Meat: Owa—a burglar~~~!

46-47.
QUIZ: How many Kinnikuman are on this title page? Please look for them.
Yudetamago: I’ll gonna attack all of you with a gag bomb this year too!!
(TN: As strange as this image is, I think it’s supposed to be invoking the infamous 1979 Steven Speilberg film “1941”, connected with one of the first chapters written of 1981…and how much like John Belushi Yudetamago looks in this image)

48.
Bibinba: A burglar!?
Suguru: You’re not a burglar, you’re Bibinba.
Suguru: Wa
Meat: I forgot: Bibinba’s living with us and going to be our helper from today.
Bibinba: You’re mean, Suguru-sama mistakened Bibinba for a burglar.
(TN: Bibinba actually refers to herself in the 3rd person here, I almost changed it to “me”, but I sort of wanted to keep her juvenile behavior at this moment)
Suguru: Well it’s because you were holding that knife…
Bibinba:; Ah, I wouldn’t.
Bibinba: I was in the middle of making breakfast.

49.
Meat: Kya—
Suguru: Bibinba, why are you dressed like that!?
Bibinba: But I didn’t have anything to wear…
Suguru: So you have breakfast—
Bibinba: Ye—s, sorry for keeping you waiting~~
Suguru: O—K
Suguru: Wh…what is this?
Bibinba: Bibinba’s special gruel!
Suguru: What, gruel?
Suguru: I don’t eat anything other than gyuudon!
Bibinba: Eh?
Meat: Prince, I had bought some gyuudon for something like this.
Suguru: Down the ha—tch.
Meat: Bibinba-san, please pay attention for next time.
Bibinba: Ye…yes.

50.
Bibinba: Why isn’t Suguru-sama going to work?
Suguru: Dahahahaha, this is funny manzai!
Meat: Iya---hahahahaha
Bibinba: …………
Bibinba: Wh..what’s happening, Suguru-sama!
Meat: Please hold on!!
Bibinba: Ah…
Meat: A—ah, hold it in a bit longer, Prince…
Bibinba: Here’s some new underwear!

51.
Meat: These weren’t it. Prince wears the floral-patterned underwear every Tuesday.
Meat: Please let me take care of helping Prince.
Bibinba: WAA—
Bibinba: Wa—
Suguru: Meat, you overdid it a bit…
Meat: No, that girl is no good. Its better that she goes back to Planet Kinniku than live with us.
Suguru: She may get tired of the behavior of a lazy Choujin.
Meat: That’s a constant.

52.
Bibinba: Daddy, I may have been mistaken in falling for Kinnikuman…..
Horumon: Good, Bibinba. The Kinniku Family is our enemy. Give up on Kinnikuman. You should love our ally Shishikaba Boo.
(TN: Somehow I just realized now that “Shishikaba Boo” is essentially “shish-kabob” in Japanese)
Bibinba: BLEH
Bibinba: The only one I really love is Suguru-sama!
Bibinba: Suguru-sama---!!

53.
Bibinba: Ha…
Bibinba: KYA—
Bibinba: Kya~~save me—

Bibinba: Ah! Suguru-sama is here.
Bibinba: We’ve overcome all our hardship dramas and we’re linked now.

54.
Suguru: I’ll have two Anton Ribs—
Inoki: Hey!
Bibinba: Ah…
Inoki: Oh, it’s Kinnikuman.
Suguru: Thanks for the underwear the other day.
Suguru: Ooh, look, a big gorilla.
Meat: Do you want something to eat?
Bibinba: Su……Suguru-sama.
Suguru: Fufu…with this, Bibinba will act civil to me and go back to planet Kinniku.
Meat: Operation #2 is a success, Prince!
Voice: Hey monster, let go of the woman!
Meat: Ah…the Earth Defense Corp!
Gonta: What are they?

55.
Toshi: I’m Toshiyori Tahara, Captain of the Defense Corp, also known as Toshi-chan!
Mach & Yocchan: We’re Mach and Yocchan!
Toshi: Yocchan, please get the weapon to defeat just the Kaijuu so we can save the woman safely!
Yocchan: Yes!
Yocchan: Commander, the weapon that will respond to your absurd request can only be this Miracle Dream Cannon!!
Toshi: Wow, amazing.
Toshi: I expected Yocchan with an incredible invention.
Yocchan: No, commander, this entirely suits you!
Toshi: OK, fire—

56.
Corp: Ah…
Toshi: Our Kaijuu……
Suguru: HA HA HA HA HA HA
Toshi: Don’t laugh—pigman.
Bibinba: Wh…why is Suguru-sama so cold to me today?
Bibinba: Ha…well, he may be testing me to see if I can get through this crisis with my won power…
Gonta: He hehehehe—if I frighten this beauty, then I’ll get 500 yen from big brother.
Bibinba: Ah.
Bibinba: HEY

57.
Bibinba: HEYA—
Toshi: Ooh, amazing!
Meat: Prince, at this rate, the operation seems to have failed.
Meat: Ah, what are you doing…Prince!

58.
Suguru: Hmph!
Gonta: WHA—A
Suguru: A—ah, he’s crying……………
Bibinba: Aa—h, I was scared. I won’t leave Suguru-sama anymore.
Suguru: I’m sorry, Bibinba. You don’t have to leave me.

59.
Toshi: He—y, pigman, show us a good thing!
Suguru: Hey—Dumb-stupid trio, I don’t play this early in the morning!
Suguru: Bibinba, what’s with that appearance!?
Bibinba: I’m enlisting in the Defense Corp.
Bibinba: Until now, I’ve been spoiled from Suguru-sama. With this, I want to learn of my love with Suguru-sama by getting a bit of distance.
Bibinba: See you, Suguru-sama.
Suguru: Hey, hold on!
Toshi: See you around, Pigma~~~n.
Suguru: Hey, what about not letting go of Suguru-sama! You lied! Independent women aren’t in fashion anymore----!

TN: For starters, I did translate this on Thursday and I apologize for not getting it up until now.

This is probably the only real chapter that I will be translating that actually involves a starring role for one of the better (but forgotten thanks to the anime) characters of the Kinnikuverse: Horumon warrior (and Suguru's future wife) Bibinba. (actually her name is probably "Bibimbab" since that's the name of the Korean dish which this translates to but I digress) I really don't know too much of the tale regarding why Toei never included her (it had something to do with Mari I think) but she is a very cute and slightly spunky character as we see in this chapter. I guess though the only problem that I have here is that she really seems at the wrong end of the stick regarding her treatment of Suguru on the only day they live together. It's obvious she really has no means or understanding of how Suguru and Meat had been living together and was probably not expected to know everything that they had...not like they lived like "that" but adding a third wheel was obviously going to screw things up. The chapter was a ton of fun though, from the invasion of Gorizaemon's brother (referring way back to the beginning of the series) to Bibinba finally finding her place outside of Suguru and Meat's confinement...it's really too bad that she really doesn't do too much for the rest of the series (at least not until the Kinniku Throne arc but by then she looks completely different...but of course you could say that about her first chapter and this one) but unfortunately when you're involved in wrestling, everyone else is, sadly, a spectator. (but at least we all know now Suguru still swings towards girls)

Oh and one more weird comment: it is just me or do Yudetamago choose the weirdest movies to homage? I mean, first "Rocky II", now "1941"...at least it makes them unique.
