Definitely prefer this translation over the other one. Thank you very much.

A fellow person of culture with the profile picture I see!
It's crazy how different this translation is with the other one, actually. Quite a bit of the dialogue is completely different.

My heart still hurts from Heracles' death, but this match is just so frickin hype

Second if you include Sati who is dead.

@wankerlin This one is correct. Raws state that Parvati is 正妻, legal wife/first wife. The others are referred to as 第二夫人 and 第三夫人, Second and third wife respectively.
I have no idea why the other translator just made up the other thing. IDK, probably machine translated.
This translation is much better than the other. Too many people just throwing poor translations under the /a/ group and calling it a day.
Edit:Yeah, I was thinking it had to do with Sati, but it's not translation if you just put in your own knowledge and fanfiction instead of what the author wrote.

Much better scan quality and translation than the other guy. Thanks!
This corrects a few mistakes of the first LQ translation from pareogo, for example:
Shivas wifes are now 1st, 2nd and 3rd wifes rather than 2nd, 3rd and 4th. This makes more sense.
In the original LQ translation from pareogo, Shiva asks if the ritual involves ginger. This is likely incorrect as sumo rituals never involve tossing ginger in the air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvc0oAg4TXg
On page 10, in the first LQ, Shiva says "an unrivaled wrestler", in the second LQ from le_demiurge, Shiva says " So, the peer-less rikishi huh?". The second version makes more sense as it's more specific to Raiden since he is known as a rikishi rather than a wrestler. Even though he uses wrestling moves this chapter, he is still clearly regarded as a rikishi.
Page 11-14 offers slightly different interpertations of those lines, both kind of the same to me tho. Although, I like that the LQ version has a translator's note that defines what a "shijuhatte" is. And the second LQ version's use of the word ''eschewed" is unusual.
Page 21 specifies that Raiden uses a "Russian Hook" rather than just a right hook. This makes it more clear that it's supposed to be a wrestling move, like the drop kick, rather than a Japanese sumo move.
Page 25, calling Shiva's throw an "overhead toss" rather than "an irregular throw" makes more sense. What about this throw makes it irregular?
Page 31 specifics it's "gautama buddha" and not just "buddha". Not a big deal, and maybe the raw just says buddha. But I like that it mentions it's guatama buddha so it's more clear that its not the fat one. Fat buddha in Chinese philosophy is known as "Budai Luohan", a fat monk who was an earlier incarnation of "Gutama Buddha", the skinny one. https://theoracle.ca/whats-the-difference-between-the-fat-and-skinny-buddhas/
The bottom 3 panels in page 26, and page 35-36, are entirely different interpertations of the dialogue. Not sure which one is correct tho. I'll wait for the Inept Bastards scan to see which is more likely to be correct.
TLDR: Read this translation from le_demiurge
