Mars has officially turned into Knuckles. XD I think he's the only one who has any common sense in this arc, since he isn't like OMG!!1 like everyone else is.

[Matto]

Okay Mars, time to go on a Master Emerald hunt!

[Frobman]

I knew this will bite them on the rear end, what with retcons and people dissappearing. Though if it means Kinnikuman and Terryman to win and all that, I ain't complainin'!

[La Luna]

There is a big progress in this story!


Because of the hourglass, Suguru is a dying man.
Mantaro hesitates to attack Suguru, though he has got a good chance to defeat him.
Scar and Jade urges Mantaro to fight against Suguru, by saying that Mantaro is the representative of their generetion and shoul win.
Terry Kenyon, however, seems to be reluctant, and Scar accuses him.
Then, Terry Kenyon says that this battle should be stopped because Suguru's death will result in his son, Mantaro's disappearance.
Finally, Scar, Jade and all the fellows realize the serious situation which turns out to be the strategy of Jikan-choujins.

Kenyon asks his father to withdraw from the fight but Terry refuses.
Seeing Mantaro's foot disappearing, Terry is convinced that Mantaro is the true son of Suguru.
Kenyon then pulls out a hat from his baggage, which is the symbol of default among his families, and throw it at Terry. Terry understands what it means.


I can't believe that nobody including smart Meat, Scar, Robin could not realize this time paradox mechanism until Terry Kenyon mentions(XD).

It's about time the storyline picks up, It took forever to get better. Hopefully they won't have anymore "Writer's Block" and actually progress in their career, Other than falter behind.

Kid realized the situation before Mars did? ಠ____ಠ WAT.

[Kawaii Kenni]

Asking Mars why he didn't get the situation before Terry the Kid, I received this response, in dub voice no less.

"All dese here bandages, dere cuttin' off the coiculashun in my brain, y'got that?"

Edit: ... Cripes, I just used my 100th post for that? I should have held fire, and used it for a song translation I really wanted to post up. Ah, well, such is life. Ut est vita. C'est la vie. Kest la vy. [insert other nonsensical linguistic pleonasms]

Well, it's usually Terryman/Terry the Kid that figures out this stuff through the manga, isn't it? It like a Terry-Family superpower (Mars is probably on some MAJOR drugs right now, so might be a little distracted XD).

What I can't believe is it took them this long for ANY CHARACTER to figure out how Suguru dying (by 'Death Match' Seppuku or Hourglass) affects Mantaro. We've figured this out since we found out about the hourglass... OI.

But the thing is, even if Terryman throws in the towel (er, hat) and forfeits the match, that doesn't save Suguru from the "Mask Removal/Death" stipulation! Does it?

[Matto]

That's basically it.

Forfeit, he still dies. Fight, he still dies. STOP RUINING OUR FAVORITE DUMBARSE YUDE. ;O;

Suguru dying would be the ultimate meme. Forget the moobs, forget Mari, forget the retcons, THIS WILL SINGLEHANDEDLY DESTORY YUDES REP. It will be glorious, extremely glorious. I can hardly wait. ;D

Better pump up my trollin to OVER 9000

[Idol Choujin Showtime]

Meh, I still say this Arc is pretty cool, and Nezumi-Otoko agrees with me. I didn't become a fan of Kinnikuman because it had a great well thought-out story, that's why I became a fan of One Piece, Hajime no Ippo, and Maison Ikkoku. Like with Otokojuku, my favorite aspect of Kinnikuman is the fighting. It doesn't matter what ridiculous crap causes the fights, as long as there is fighting.

Although, I did initially like how Yude were trying to have more story, lately with the Mari-ness it got kind of annoying, now I just want the fighting again.

[Dai Makai]

The only way this is possibly going to work is if Suguru and company lose, but when he takes off his mask, Manataro takes off his own and uses a Face Flash so nobody sees it. Then they put a bucket or something on his face and send him away.

That's too easy for Yude to do. =/

DRAMATIC KID THROW GO!

...Kid looks so fricking weird in that bottom panel on the first page. do throws have to be dramatic? maybe

[Jenny]

Okay so from the looks of that third image the hourglass is going up again. :/

[Matto]

I have to ask this...

WTF IS THAT SWEAT HOLY SHI-

It looks like chocolate. What. The. Frack.

[Chibibee]

DRAMATIC KID THROW GO!

...Kid looks so fricking weird in that bottom panel on the first page. do throws have to be dramatic? maybe

Of course it does, it's a BIG DRAMATIC MOMENT. Like deciding to throw in the towel in Rocky, or the final pitch in a baseball movie. Besides, that pose reminds the reader what he did at the end of the last chapter. Now, what did Terryman say there? :<

And it sure looks like the hourglass is going back up. Is that due to Suguru's will, or was it built to do that, weaken him at different times for moments of weakness?

[Kawaii Kenni]

Well, it looks like he's patronising Kid, with the wagging finger. That and the sound effects are "Chi chi chi", which is a sound effect for tutting. "Tut tut".

In the first picture, after looking at the hat, he says "Sweat-stained!" I'm assuming he's talking about Suguru, since the verb form is technically in the gerund type form, so literally it's like: "He's being sweat-stained!" Though I suppose he could be talking about the hat? I doubt it though.

Meanwhile, Suguru still seems determined on struggling it out. He says "isshindoutai", which is like being united as one whole. At first I saw "isshin", which was "wholeheartedly", so I thought it may have been that he was saying he'll wholeheartedly struggle this out, but reading more it doesn't look like it. I saw "amae", which may mean he's calling Mantarou a spoilt brat again.

Ah, that explains alot, but he still looks weird. blame the artwork haha

OH FOR THE LOVE OF...

MOTHER...shizznitTER. >=( Terryman is now a bigger douche then Kinnikuman, who would a thunk it? Yude.

[KnuxieChan]

He's copying off of Mars' tut tut he used on Terry. =| Except Mars was sexier.

[Kawaii Kenni]

Next, he'll be telling Kid that he's more deserving of the Terryman nickname "Abare no Uma". ... Waaaait a minute...

Please don't tell me Suguru's sweat is somehow adding to the stuff in the hourglass.

Please don't.

[Matto]

Anyone remember Keiko's infamous two fingered attack on poor Mantaro in the Gen EX anime saga?

I think Yude is doing that to us now, only there are four fingers instead of two. eff

[TheOrgg]

And a thumb curled under, too? Don't forget to curl the thumb, Matty.

Oh-- and Showtime... One favor. Don't post right after Matto. With Your Avatars Combined, much wrongness exists.

[Matto]

Much wrongness always exists to occur, mister mod. =D
