Comic book translation
"Esta es la segunda vez que lo fríes para ayudarme."
In a comic a character ends up winning a battle and says that. I have not seen friar used this way. I'm assuming it means like "you got your butt kicked" but just wanted to confirm. So far I've translated it as "This is the second time you bit it to help me."

this is the second time you fry him/come him under to help me
Hello!
In portuguese the slang to "fry somebody" usually means that you put the person in a bad situation and it seems that similar meaning could be also in spanish (fastidiar, molestar). So, it coud be understood as "this is the second time you "come him under" to help me... in the sense that he was put in a difficult situation. Also found "to fry someone" meaning to cause harm to another.
Maybe would make more sense than the idea of "killing", it's not possible to kill someone twice...
Fritar alguém - Ferrar alguém, deixar a pessoa em maus lençóis, em má condição.

: That's a good point about the impossility of killing someone twice, although in a comic book, who knows what bizarre things might happen? I've never heard the phrase "come him under," though.

Yes, Kristina, I was reading again, maybe "threaten" would fit better?

I also found an instance of someone saying, "lo fríes tiros" and that was translated as telling someone to "gun him down."
I'm assuming the character is saying this sarcastically to the person he has defeated. Or is he saying it to an ally who really did help him win the battle? Is it clear? And does context make it clear that "lo" is an "it" and not a "him"?
If you can post an image of the comic, so much the better.
