Mazinger Z (マジンガーｚ, Majingah Zetto) is a manga and robot created by Go Nagai in October 1972. In December 1972 an anime version was made by Toei Animation, airing on Fuji TV.
Mazinger Z is also the first robot to have a pilot inside it, and has inspired and popularized the idea in many other anime and manga, including Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion, The Big O , etc.
Running from 1972-12-03 to 1974-09-01, this was the first anime with a character piloting a giant robot(as opposed to it being sentient like Astro Boy or remote controlled like Tetsujin 28). Mazinger Z covered the adventures of Koji Kabuto and his friends battle against the forces of Dr. Hell. It ran for 92 episodes and was broadcast in many countries such as France, Spain, Italy (who really seems to love Go Nagai's works for some reason), Mexico, the Philippines (in an English version commissioned by Toei itself, which was a huge hit before being ordered off the air by the Marcos regime) and America (including Toei's dub, which aired sporadically on the Christian Broadcasting Network in the early '80s, and then the edited Tranzor Z, produced by Bunker Jenkins).
NET was still airing Nagai's Devilman TV series when Mazinger premiered. Mazinger went on to far eclipse Devilman in popularity, which is said to have frustrated Nagai, since Devilman was a far more personal and meaningful work for him than Mazinger, which he had created essentially for fun.
Manga[]
Volume 01[]
It starts with Koji talking about getting great power and what would you do with it? Then Koji, Shiro and Grandpa Juzo have breakfast and Juzo dumps exposition of looking after em since his rents bit it ([[Great Mazinger|Or did they???) and Koji goes to school on his motorcycle with some Goemon Abashiri looking mother f--ker in the b--ch seat. Koji sez he gets a lot of dough from Grandpa's patents on all the science cr-p he made. But he never lets Koji or Shiro into his secret room (Stay out of the Basement! By R L Stein). He gets to school and there's a Huge f--kin earthquake that is actually only a 4-5 on the scale and Koji goes back to check on Juzo. At home the ground is f--ked open and he sees Juzo j-rkin off his metal weener to Kekko Kamen Manga! Mazinger Z and Juzo crushed under a metal thing. Juzo tells Koji he made Mazinger Z for him to either be a god that saves humanity, or a devil that destroys the Earth. Then goes kinda nuts laughing like a maniac and bits it after showing him the Pilder. Koji f--ks around and gets it to lock on to Mazinger Z like Sonic 3 and Knuckles and kinda f--ks up da town with the Mech as he don't know how to drive it. Koji sees that if he can't stop Mazinger he'd destroy the world and don't wanna be that devil and we get a lot of flashbacks to Demon Lord Dante where Ryo Utsugi goes Kaiju and f--ks up Japan, right down to the human in the head of a big black monster. Yamitaro Ankokuji is in town and sez they don't know what this metal f--k can do, so they call Prof Yumi. Yumi sends in Sayaka with Aphrodite A and these tanks come over to f--k down Mazinger and Koji wonders if he's gonna bite it. But the tanks can't to jack sh-t to him and he realizes how bada55 Mazinger Z is. Koji realizes if he slags the tanks then more will come and he's gotta reason his way out. At the Photon Power Lab, Ankokuji meets Prof Yumi and openly is into Sayaka and they chat about how Robots are made. Sayaka attacks Mazinger but goes jack sh-t to it and she sees Koji in the head. Prof Yumi realizes that both robots are made of Alloy Z and that's only in the Photon Power Lab so Ankokuji suspects Yumi made Mazinger. But Yumi reveals that Mazinger Alloy Z is stronger and is Super Alloy Z (Like Nintendo and Super Nintendo??) and Aphrodite a and Mazinger Z are bro/sis as they had the same creator: Juzo Kabuto! As Juzo had 2 grandkids one might be the pilot and he has Sayaka talk to him. Mazinger stopped spazzing out and Koji radioes her and sez he heard them somehow and explains the situation. But then another robot comes out at Suruga and its Garada K7 and Doublas M2 f--king up Japans military like its the opening to the Mazinger Z Anime. Baron Ashura is pleased and confident in his robots butt f--kery or Japan and Sayaka and Koji go over to f--k em up. Koji is suddenly better at driving this thing as he says it "responds to his will" like its the 2000 Inspector Gadget movie with Ferris Bueler. Garada and Doublas attack the Photon Lab but the lab has pop up missile launchers like its Computer Warriors or some sh-t and they hold off the Mechanical Beasts until Mazinger and Sayaka show up and f--k up the bad robots. Baron Ashura pulls a Cobra Commander and retreats to his Bardos Island base and tells Dr H-ll about it and the bad doctor wants to have Mazinger Z to conquer the world(Which kinda happens in Mazinkaiser OVA 1). Ashura wants to capture Koji and later Koji and Sayaka go back to living in their old house as its closer to where Mazinger is housed. Later, the Iron Mask dudes of Ashura attack and wanna take off Koji's head to remake his bod into one of them (Like in Riki-oh how they wanted to equip his body with his brothers head) and Koji fights em. After knocking off 1 iron mask, its hot an open head with brains out like in Hannibal and like liberals, they have no free will and just serve a demony bad guy. Koji slags 1 and more come in but Ankokuji comes outta the floor like Kekko Kamen and caps em. Because 1 guy has a few bullets, the Iron Masks (Is that where Pokemon 4ever got it from?) say they were beat and Baron Ashura sends Dogura S1 / Magura F2 to get Koji and surfaces the Underwater Fortress Sarudo to launch em. At home, Koji calls the ambulance to save the Iron Mask guys as he don't wanna be a murderer, but Ankokuji sez its not murder if its self defense (Hear that commies? Zimmerman did nothing wrong! A Japanese cop sez so!). Then Dogura S1 / Magura F2 attacks and Shiro is glad as with all this Chaos, they can skip school tomorrow. Koji goes back in the house as Dogura S1 / Magura F2 f--k it up and flies out in the Hover Pilder. It follows him and burns the forest like in The DBZ Tree Of Might movie and Koji gets to the Photon Lab and Locks on to Mazinger Z. He remembers Juzo's words that he IS Mazinger Z when driving it and Koji fights Dogura S1 / Magura F2 but it splits in 2, grabs Mazingers arms, asnd goes for the head! But Koji slams em back together with Mazingers big black arms. Dogura S1 / Magura F2 flies up with Mazinger to kill Koji from the impact shock by Koji falling. Koji slams his head on the glass as I guess there's no seat belt and Sayaka in Aphrodite A comes out to Save Koji's big meaty a55. Koji gets up, slags 1 of em and cooks the other with BULESTO FAIYA! And Ashura b--ches about it.
Volume 02[]
So it starts with Dr H revealing he can crush Ashura's skull with his will and how he found the ruins of Bardos Island to use the tech the Mycenaeans used to make huge steel warriors. In there he found the Mechanical Beasts that are higher tech than todays tech. Dr H wants to be better than Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan and Napoleon and Hitler and rule Za Warudo. Now he wants Ashura to get Photon Energy that's hundreds of times better than Nucular(Like Protoculture in Robotech?) and wants him/her to capture Mazinger Z. Meanwhile, Boss, Mucha and Nuke try to f--k with Koji but he stops his bike sideways in the road (But not like that pose from Akira everyone rips off) and they wind in the water. Later at school a new student comes by and its Koji and Boss is p-ssed but Sayaka stops him. Teacher reveals Koji's the one who saved Japan and Boss is jealous as he thinks Sayaka will go for him (And in Mazinger Z Infinity: Its revealed that happens ands they b0ne). Meanwhile, Ashura summons Bamaras Y1 and Bazin B9. Back at School, Boss tries to hassle Koji but Koji counters and Boss wants to go out with Sayaka after school. Koji beats up Boss when Sayaka's not looking but when Boss tries to fight back, Sayaka looks and he gets f'd. The teacher gets Boss in trouble and then the Mechanical Beasts attack and Koji motorcycles to the lab. but Mazinger is already out and driven by Ashura and busts the city! Koji follows and at the lab Sayaka gets there but Dr Yumi sez Mazinger is still in the hanger. Ankokuji sez he saw Mazinger in town and they realize its a fake and Sayaka sends Boss and friends after Koji. Sayaka goes in an upgraded Aphrodite and as Koji follows Fake Mazinger, its back opens up and Iron Mask guys on Mechanical Steeds come out and Koji fights em. Then Boss and his droogs come by and Koji drives off and Fake Mazinger jumps to stomp Koji like its freekin Super Mario. But Aphrodite fires off one of her b00bs and blasts him back. Koji returns to the lab and Sewashi, Nossori and Morimori give Koji a new suit to use Mazinger Z better. Ankokuji tests it and beats on Koji but it does diddley d0ng and Koji beats him out easy. Didn't you have to save Sayaka and the city? Why are you j-rkin off with Ankokuji?! So Koji drives Mazinger out and Ashura calls the Mechanical Beasts to fight Mazinger. Ashura beats up and throws Aphrodite A but Mazinger saves her and is introduced to him/her. Koji tries a Rocket Punch but Bazin B9 f--ks with electromagnetic waves and f--ks it up. He tries Breast Fire but Bamaras Y1 grabs and lifts Mazinger so it can't nail em. Then Bamaras Y1 throws Mazinger and Bazin B9 uses Electricity too counter Earth's Gravity somehow and Mazinger goes high and lands on its feet hard so Koji gets f--ked. He/her sends Bamaras Y1 and Bazin B9 to bring Mazinger to Saluud but Koji turns on its arms and slags Bazin B9. Then jumps on Bamaras Y1 like a Mario game and uses Rust Hurricane on Fake Mazinger. He/her escapes by launching the head and a ship comes outta it and Koji busts the Fake Mazinger, which is just disguised Mechanical Beast. Later there's these guys hiking in a hill and at this cliff where people jump. A chick jumps but rises up like some kinda Yokai (Just like with the Himalayas and Demon Lord Dante and a bit Dororon Enma-kun). Sayaka and Koji are told this by a hiker and Koji is told to be careful cuz the weather changes fast here and theres thicc fog. Koji thinks that cuz its brighty and sunny now, its not possible to get that fogged out and he checked the Weather Report. Koji hopes there is a ghost as it might be fun and Sayaka is kinda creeped out. Guide guy is p-ssed at them for not listening and later the fog comes in and Boss trys to grab Sayaka's a55 but accidentally grabs Shiro's (Guess he's turned pedo). Boss Shiro, Sayaka and Koji hold hands like Care Bears to keep from falling off and find a sign saying go back. Then, outta f--kin nowhere, a guy shows up screaming and his head rips off! They run and go in a swamp and are in a bunch of reeds that's floating off. The water is too cold and filthy to swim in and they see a house of the dead corpse walking on water and dropping to the bottom. Then they are in as hotel and Sayaka goes to take a bath as we haven't seen any naked chix yet. Koji and Boss bathe together but its not gay in Japan and there's a huge statue of Devilman in there. Sayaka sneaks in the boys bath and Koji tells Boss he thinks the Ghosts are trying to keep em away from something. Koji thinks the Guide is doing something with machines and Boss defends the Supernatural and leaves. Sayaka jumps out with her hair covering her nips saying she'll help Koji and (Like Adam and Eve) Realize they are naked and freak out, run and slam into each other naked (But their parts don't touch so its good). They go out and investigate but find a cr-ppy puppet and tape recorder and red paint. Then a group building something in the swamp and it turns out its Count Brocken who replaces Ashura and summons Mario N7 that uses electromagnetic waves to hover and has lots of hands to move puppets like MARIOnettes. It brings out a buncha naked chick puppets with blade arms and they chase Koji and Sayaka. Boss and Shiro wake up and notice Koji never went to bed and same with Sayaka. Shiro calls the Hover Pilder over and Koji fights the dolls. Shiro gets in and drives it and the dolls catch Sayaka and cut off her clothes so she's in her undies. The Pilder busts the things holding her and Koji catches Sayaka and Koji hops in and busts Mario N7 with missiles as Brocken jets off on Rocket Arms holding his head saying "this was just a recon and Next time I'll get'cha". The next day Koji makes croquette with Mazinger moves like a popping Rust Hurricane and a Jump in Your Mouth Rocket Punch. Then Brocken comes in and challenges him to a duel with Mazinger Z vs Croc-Diver O1, and leaves. Koji worried Brocken would cap his a55 or something and Sayaka wants to help but Koji seZ he wants to do it 1 on 1 (Btw, if Mazinger Z can't stop it, what good would Sayaka's mech do?). So Mazinger goes to fight Croc-Diver O1 and after Brocken locks his head on it like Transformers The Headmasters, they fight. But Croc-Diver O1 splits into 3 robots like that Beyblade that splits in 2 but still counts as 1 and hang f--ks Mazinger. It tears off a T-t so he can't use Breast Fire but Koji f--ks em with his arms and Brocken fliers off.
Volume 03[]
So at night in a city the Iron Cross Brigade (Like the nazies Baddz from Bionic Commando take over the area. Those who dissent are executed, as are anyone 40 or more. The men are taken to be drafted in the Iron Cross ranks and the young will be trained to be em. The chix will be made part of Grogos G5. The next day, music class isn't on as Teacher ain't there and Boss has the hots for her. Boss, droogs and Koji go to see Teacher but the area is barbed wired off and they sneak in. They see Brocken's boys took over and Koji goes off to get Mazinger on his Motor Cycle. As he drives he sees Grogos G5 with all these naked chix in it, including Teacher. Koji goes back to the lab and Sayaka tells him of the robot attacking town but Koji can't fight it. Prof Yumi figures he can use Koshiryoku Beam, to stun the monster but it might f--k up the people. Yumi sez to keep himself alive even if it means slagging hostages. Koji tries the beam but the robot blows in a few places and pieces of the hostages fall as Brocken sez Koji killed em (Like with Jinmen) and if Koji resists, Brocken will ice more chix and he's have to nail Grogos G5 in 10 places to stop him but that would ice most hostages. Grogos G5 beats on Mazinger but Koji surrenders as he don't want his grandpa's best thing (For now) busted and he can'\t stop Grogos G5. He detaches the Pilder and busts Brocken with a missile. Brocken falls to the ground and Boss dribbles him to avenge the teacher he wanted to b0ne. But Brockens bod attacks and Boss kicks it like a football, then Mucha and Nuke soccer it away from the Iron Cross Homies. Brocken eventually gets his head back but by then Koji has saved the Naked chix. Brocken has Grogos G5 fight Mazinger and try to squirt it with its goo but Mazinger pulls Grogos G5s arms in front and it melts off its own arms. Koji Beams off its squirters and tells it its a p o s, but it pulls a Saibaman and kamikaze's Mazinger Z. It survives but is damaged and Brocken sez he now knows Mazinger Z;'s true strength. Koji sez he's gonna fix Mazinger and thanks Boss for keeping Brocken busy so he could save the chix. Boss is glad he saw teacher naked but she's going to another school. Koji and boss then choose to write Love Letter to win Sayaka. So then Shiro's school gets a new student, a Blonde Haired, Blue Eyed chick named Lorelei Heinrich and she and Shiro getta long. She takes Shiro BACK TO HER PLACE TO B0NE to meet her dad Schtroheim Heinrich who's got a f--ked face from being part robot. He knew a Professopr Kabuto and claims to be better than him and is making a robot better than Mazinger Z (Which makes Shiro chimp out)! At night, Ashura comes for Schtroheim and wants his research or he/she'd slag him (Like Dr Kisaragi??) but Schtroheim fights with a death ray in his eye. At home, Koji sez Juzo said Dr Heinrich was dead and a super robot genius who bit it in an accident. Shiro thinks he's a ghost but Koji sez Ghosts ain't real (What about Princess Margaret in Lovely Angel??) and he's a cyborg (which later happens with Another Mazinger dude Koji knows). So Schtroheim slags the soldiers and Ashura runs off and comes back the next day in Ghoul and drops River F9 which blows Schtroheim's house. But the ground rips open and Donau Alpha 1 comes out! Its got Lorelei's face on it and Ashura sez Schtroheim only did this well cuz Dr H revives him, but he fled Bardos Island as he wanted to make Donau stronger instead of rushing it out like modern games do and cover their cr-ppy work with day 1 patches. Schtroheim wanted his robot to Have a human heart and brain) and not just be a doll ordered around. He wants him/her to let him finish but he/she wants it now and slags Schtroheim with hidden machine guns and he falls a few dozen feet from his bot. He tells Lorelei She's not really his daughter, but a robot he made and he loved her like a real daughter as she's a robot with emotions. If she removes the ribbon in her hair, she'd fuse with the Donau and he tells her to do that to beat Mazinger Z. Shiro tells her not to but she do and it does and she slags River as the Staff of Bardos can't control her now that she has free will. Ashura escapes again and Broken mocks him/her but he/she sez now Donau will beat Mazinger for em. Brocken sez he's taking over when Donau falls (didn't he already take over b4??) So Koji in Mazinger Z comes over to stop River and Donau and Donau sez she was made to beat Mazinger and despite Shiro's attempts for peace, 1 must die. They fight and Mazinger gets 1 of its arms decroded by its own reflected Rust Hurricane, then grabs the head tentacle and pulls off its head and beats on it with it til it blows. Shiro is all busted up over it and hears a tune from the wreckage of Donau
Volume 04[]
So Dr H is b--chin about all these Mechanical beasts being f'd by Mazinger Z and its invincible Super Alloy Z Body. Dr shows Baron a piece of Super Alloy Z and has Goukyuun U5 use an arrow of Alloy X (Its always X!! Planet X! X the unknown! XXX! xXx State of the Union! X the man with X Ray Eyes! X Men! XXX Men! Mega Man X! Ranger X!) and skewers the piece of Super Alloy Z. So at the Photon Lab, run on Japanuim which is only found in Mt Fuji, Sayaka gets Koji in the pool and is pulled in by Shiro. She sez another Mechanical Beast is attacking! The Battleship Shiranami is f'd by Goukyuun U5 and Koji and Sayaka go over in their mechs. Sayaka fires a b00b missile but Goukyuun U5 fires an arrow and gets her bot through the neck. Then nails Mazinger a few times and it f'd its systems so it can't use most of its attacks. Goukyuun U5 beats on Mazinger but Koji tries all his moves til he finds Rocket Punch works and he busts it. Later Fubuking S1 is sent by Brocken to bury the Lab in snow so Koji can't dock with Mazinger. Deathkiller G7 comes down after its under snow, but don't cave in under it, and Brocken's bead flies in and tells Koji this guy is meant to bust the Pilder. Koji takes to the Pilder and sky duels it but Boss Borot lifts up Mazinger in the snow and he docks with it and nails it, then he and Borot clear the snow by hand. Later Dr H shows Ashura a Mechanical Beast based on him/her. Koji and Shiro are skiing and they get a call on his Non apple Watch to fight a Mechanical Beast that's too much for Aphrodite A and Boss Borot. Boss attacks but it uses whip fingers to fling him around and a chest panel opens and fires missiles like Overlord in Transformers Super god Masterforce and busts him. Aphrodite attacks with b00b missiles but it splits in 2 and evades, then chomps on her with its body and blows her apart. Her head lands and Sayaka falls out and he/she is gonna stomp her but Mazinger shows up. He/she fires breast needles and pops Mazingers Eyes and missiles off his scrander, then splits in to and chomps Mazinger. Koji self detonates with the missiles in him and busts the enemy but escapes in the pilder. He asks Mazinger to forgive him and sez he's gonna fix it. Later Ashura talks to Tauros D7, Kingdan X10, Belgas V5 and Ghostfire V9, but he /she wants to use his/her daughters Gamia Q. He/.she drives his/her sub and sends em up and they come out of the water and a camper asks if they are ok. They slice off his head with their hair and he falls in his campfire(and is probably eaten by animals or people later(well, he IS cooked). at school later they go to see Koji when they do they try slicing him with their blade hair(Like Mao in riki-oh?) and Boss 's clothes get f'd. Ashura talks through em and sez they'd cut him to pieces like its Hokuto No Ken or something and they attack. Then this robot is f--kin up Tokyo and Sayaka goes in her Mech that's been rebuilt like 3x by now and is sliced in 2 by KingDan X10. Ghost Fire V9 cooks the city and Kingdan busts Aphrodite's head with a blade. At school, Boss's clothes get sliced off and he sez its becoming a Shameless School and they're doing Mazinger here, but Koji sez boss's gross bod isn't good enuff for Shameless School(Although there were some ugly mother f--ker in there) and Boss can barely read. then a Cameo by Mitsuko Yagyu IN THE NUDE, the Pilder comes in driven by Shiro and Koji throws 1 Gamia and the others chop her up. Shiro sez the Mechanical beasts are f-kkin up Japan like bad censorship laws and Ashura sez they f'd Sayaka's mech and his men are looking for her body but if she's alive, he's f--k her up. If he hands over Mazinger Z he/she well call off the attacks. Koi fights the Gamia's but Shiro slags em with the Pilder. Belgas goes to the lab and tells Yumi that if he hands over Mazinger Z, he/she will end their attacks on the Japan, and that Gamia Q's iced Koji. Koji gets back and Yumi has given up Mazinger as it was carried off by what looks like Drones and is gonna bring it to Saluud, but the Pilder comes by and he/she orders Belgas to slag it. Of course Koji gets in despite Belgas's detaching parts and he f--ks saluud up. Belgas fights Mazinger and Saluud sinks in the sea as Mazinger Z sinks to the bottom of the sea, but can take the miles of pressure, even on the pilder dome somehow. He hits the floor and its soft and he sinks in it and uses violent wind to raise the silt in the floor up and in the dust, crushes Belgas's head. Its remaining pieces reassemble and Mazinger comes out from underground and throws the rock Belgas was on and nukes it with Breast Fire. Ashura trys to ram Saluud into Mazinger and he catches it and swings it around like in Mazinkaiser vs The Great General of Darkness, so he/she sends Glossam X2 to buy time to get away. Its designed for underwater combat and fires missiles at Mazinger, grabs him in its jaws, throws him, then blasts with a super heated beam to heat up Mazinger and Cook Koji. Koji uses his own Breast Fire and it heats up and cracks and blows Glossam X2. Koji gets outta the sea and wonders if Sayaka was on Saluud but notes that if she was, he/she would have used her against him. Then Tauros D7 nails a hole in Mazinger gut and Ghostfire V9 Chains up Mazinger in a non SM way for Tauros D7 to penetrate him. Mazinger jumps, Ghostfire gets skewered, and Mazinger swings its chains to slam em both and they blow. then Kingdan X10 comes in with Aphrodite in its hand and Sayaka tied to a bed in its torso and demands that Mazinger come with them
Volume 05[]
Mazinger Z goes on the water base Saluud and Boss is clinging to his leg as the base goes under da sea. Boss in an Iron Mask suit tells this guard its his shift and tells Koji that Sayaka is being cared for and they plan to try something at the right time. Later, 30 km off Ogasawara, Saluud is spotted as they tracked Aphrodite A's transmissions. Dr Yumi is there and hopes to save huis kid, but hopes she can forgive him if he has to send her to H E Double Korea to stop the Baddz from getting Mazinger. Later, Boss in Iron Mask sez to the guards "We got trouble" and when they come, Koji headshots em(So much for not wanting to be a murderer, wait, didn't that happen with Rick in Robotech?) and they go to save Sayaka. Boss stands guard and Koji sees she's bare a55 naked under the covers and Boss wants to see (You saw her nude b4 Koji!!). Meanwhile, a half hairs Baron Ashura is taking a shower and feeling his/her right b00b with his/her left hand and still wears a hood and we see his/her a55, when he/she gets a message saying the Japanese Navy tracked em with Sayaka's mech. He/she orders an attack and we never get to see his/her crotch. Saluud spins a thing to make a Whirlpool and Dr Yumi orders em to drop Depth Charges which f--ks out the artificial Island. Koji trys to stop Boss from seeing her nude but the ship jerks around and Sayaka falls out and wakes up and hugs Koji, b4 Boss tells her she's Nude. Saluud's island comes off and attacks the Japanese Military by flying around like Ginnai Doma's head and the underwater base is getting f--ked by the Navy. As they can't send Kingdan X10 underwater, they launch subs to fight and Sayaka wears an Iron Mask outfit and her and Boss fake moving prisoner Koji around to get to Mazinger. Guarding her is Gamia Q3 who I guess survived the last fight and fights Koji with a sneak twist, She's Nude under her outfit and her t-ts stun Koji and she gets a hair in his shooting arm. They fight on and the Navy f--ks out the enemy subs and goes in to end Saluud. Sayaka interferes in the fight and gets sliced and Koji tugs her cape to save Sayaka and Sayaka throws Koji his gun. Ashura is told the Saluud is too f'd to go on and he/she sez to ditch it and leave Mazinger and Kingdan X10. Koji shoots off Gamia Q3's hair and as she runs he splits her in half. He then is gonna take Saluud down and Sayaka sez her dad told her of swimming jets on Mazinger Z's Feet. Koji slags Kingdan X10 and gets its sword and busts through the ship to get Ashura but he/she sez its Koji who's going down cuz the ships nucular reactor will soon overload and runs off. The escape pods fire off and Dr Yumi has a few shot down but most escape. As he think he won't give up on her unless he sees a body, an escape pod poops up and Sayaka is in it and parachutes out. Mazinger busts through the base and uses BuLesTo FaiYa and gets out. On da Navy Yumi tells his girl the only way Koji can survive is the swim jets. Koji gets out but sinks in the floor. The ship blows and then Mazinger swims up as unlike Devilman, you can't kill the main guy. Later Koji is on patrol as Dr H's attacks are getting worse and Boss Borot attacks him annd blows his Scrander, then fires missiles at Mazinger. At the Lab, Sayaka has Boss use his Borot to go on patrol and he sees the other Borot beating Mazingers A55! Fake Borot's head f--ks off and its revealed by Brocken that its Evil Boss B9! Koji seez its not his friend and throws it off and Boss attack it but is thrown off easy. Brocken sez to ignore Borot and focus on Mazinger and Mazinger f--ks it apart. Later Brocken sends Uhnura P9 and Great Bardon which fly to the Photon Lab and f--k up the area below it with a gravity cancelling device and throwing people and sh-t into space. Mazinger goes out with its Scrander and Sayaka stays back as her mech cant fly. Tokyo looks like the moon surface and Uhnura P9 talks and reveals its controlled like Mazinger but by an Iron Cross guy. They fight and Mazinger's hand is shanked and leg sliced off. So he uses the spear in his hand to skewer it and breast fires it to H E Double France! Later Ashura guys are out at night and he/she plans to f---k up Koji. Later Sayaka is on patrol as the Iron Cross guys were out last night. Then Ghoul is coming and Koji gets in Mazinger and Sayaka's Mech moves on its own to hug Mazinger like they're b0ning. Ashura had his goons put a thing in her mech to control it and has Brocken send Naider V1. Koji can't use most of his moves with Sayaka on him and fires Rocket Punch with Iron Cutter which are caught by Naider V1's Magnet Shield. Naider V1 shanks both good guy mechs on its long spear and Koji sees the only way is to shoot through the hostage and breast fires apart Naider V1 And Sayaka's mech. Then Sayaka ain't mad but glad Koji saved her. Later Boss wants to go for a walk with Sayaka in the park but she goes with Koji. Mucha and Nuke offer to go but Boss isn't queer as Netflix didn't get him, But he goes with Nuke as Koji and Sayaka won't notice him. In the park they find a haunted house ride and go in but get caught and Ashura's busted ghost sez he/she wont rest until he/she beats him. Then there's a Brocken head and spears attack em. Turns out its Viscount Pygman who grabs Sayaka and these hands grab Koji so he can't save her. He throws her to beasts and Koji notices his spear wounds are gone ands he realizes its Psychic powers making an Illusion like Future City in Violence Jack and he yells Arachni Power Mazin Go and the spell is broken. Viscount Pygman runs off as I guess he can't beat Koji in a fist fight and they realize the house was never there. Later, Archduke Gorgon meets Count Brocken and summons Kentador Gamma 7 which f--ks up the Kamakura Coast and Sayaka goes out in Diana A to face it. Koji in Mazinger Z comes out and finds Diana crucified upsidedown and Sayaka below it. Then outta the Ground, Kentador Gamma 7 comes out, shanks the Scrander and throws Mazinger down. Koji fires his Rocket Punch off with Sayaka in it away and Koji slices Kentador Gamma 7 open with the scrander. Later Koji's getting ready for bed but Ghoul is coming and he drags Sayaka outta the bath and don't notice she's nude for a bit. Sayaka and Koji in their mechs go out but Ghoul sprays dissolving liquid that melts the ground and they sink into it. The lab can't fire the Scrander as there's jamming signals and the good bots sink toward the magma. So Yumi sends Boss and Borot to throw a ball and chain into the mush and he starts pulling em up. But Gorgon sends Dollgost Beta 5 to stop him. Instead it speeds him up outta fear and he pulls em out and Mazinger slams Dollgost into the muck(how did it melt the ground to the magma? won't that f--k the crust and planet to have a soft spot there??)
The English dub "Tranzor Z" aired on U.S. TV in 1985 changed virtually all of the character names, including Koji to "Tommy Davis", Sayaka to "Jessica Davis", Shiro to "Toad," Baron Ashura to "Devleen", etc.

Created by Dr. Kabuto, and piloted by his grandson, Koji Kabuto Mazinger Z is made from Super-Alloy Z, powered by Photonic Energy, towering 60 feet, and weighing 20 tons. It is a fearsome robot that is said to bring either the power of the Devil or the power of God (hence Ma-Zing, Devil God).
Abilities[]
Koushiryoku Beam(Photon Beam): Mazinger Z can fire photons in a the form of a laser through its eyes. In Shin Mazinger, this move is stronger than Breast Fire because Koji sets it to its highest setting.
Rocket Punch: Mazinger Z' fires its arm through the air powered by rockets crushing everything in it's path. Its direction can be changed to return it, or do more damage.
Daisharin Rocket Punch: Mazinger Z spins its arms rapidly and builds up momentum before firing off both fists in standard Rocket Punch fashion.
Rust Hurricane: Acid/corrosive material mixed with air flows from his mouth rusting enemy metals in an instant.
Scrander Cutter: Mazinger Z uses the Jet Scrander as a blade and tries to cut its opponent.
Breast Fire: Firing a heated beam from the chest panel, Mazinger Z can burn up enemies. Its power can be focused for more intense heat. It also melts off the paint job.
Reinforced Rocket Punch: It's basically the Rocket Punch, but it's reinforced with stronger armor.
Big Bang Punch (Shin Mazinger only): Mazinger Z, with the God Scrander, turns into a gigantic fist and punches its opponent.
Add-Ons[]
Mazinger Z w/God Scrander in Super Robot Wars Z2: Saisei-Hen
Hover Pilder: A small hovercraft that attaches itself to the top of Mazinger Z's head and allows the pilot to control the giant robot.
Jet Scrambler: Specialized jet-rocket that attaches itself to Mazinger Z's waist and allows it flight. It cannot work in space due to lack of an atmosphere as seen in CB Chara Go Nagai World.
God Scrander: It is seen in the first episode of Shin Mazinger (which occurs in medias res), the God Scrander like all "Scranders" attaches to the back of Mazinger giving it the power of flight. In addition to this, it also has three giant fingers that, together with Mazinger Z's arms, form a fist when closed which forms the basis of the Big Bang Punch, a glowing fist formed by the God Scrander's fingers around Mazinger Z later revealed to be the fist of Zeus. After docking, the command "Open Wing!" makes the God Scrander open its wings and unfurl its fingers.
Cameos[]
In the 61st episode of Urusei Yatsura, "The Mendo Family’s Masquerade War", a guy with a Mazinger Z mask is seen.
