Great Mazinger	comment	Great Mazinger (ã‚°ãƒ¬ãƒ¼ãƒˆãƒžã‚¸ãƒ³ã‚¬ãƒ¼, GurÄ“to MajingÄ�) is the second entry of the Mazinger series by manga artist Go Nagai and a direct continuation of the successful Mazinger Z. It was aired on Japanese television in 1974, immediately following the end of the first series, and it ran for 56 episodes.Several millennia ago, a powerful civilization named Mycenae thrived in the Greek island of Bardos. To defend their island from invaders, they employed metallic giants that blasted tongues of fire from their chests. However, an earthquake destroyed their island and the Mycenae disappeared. For a long while it was believed they perished right then, but it was false. In reality they were forced to seek shelter underground, and a lot of them grafted their heads into powerful mechanical bodies to survive. However they longed to return to the surface again and getting the sunlight, fresh air, and unpolluted water back.Many centuries later, Dr. Hell and Dr. Kabuto conducted research on Bardos and through different means both of them reached the conclusion that their civilization was still alive. Dr. Hell decided on allying himself with one them. (Which turned out to be a bad move). Dr. Kabuto suspected the Mycenae were preparing to return to the surface and take it back from humans and he decided to start taking precautions.When his son and his daughter-in-law were mortally injured in a laboratory accident that went awry, he turned his son into a cyborg to keep him alive and revealed to him his plans and his fears. Kenzo Kabuto agreed to work secretly to prevent the Mycenae invasion.After the ending of Mazinger Z, Mazinger Z was easily destroyed by the Mycenae Battle Beasts. Kouji and Sayaka went to study in America, leaving the defense of Earth on the hands of Tetsuya Tsurugi and Jun Hono, two combat-pro orphans who are slightly Darker and Edgier compared to Kouji and Sayaka. Piloting Great Mazinger -an upgrade to Mazinger Z, built by Kenzo, Koujiâ€™s Not Quite Dead father, by improving upon his fatherâ€™s plans- and Venus A, Tetsuya and Jun go to battle the Mycenae Empire, led by the Emperor of Darkness, and eventually Tetsuya becomes the Worthy Opponent of The Dragon, The Great General of Darkness.Considered Darker and Edgier than its predecessor, Great Mazinger was less successful and less popular among fans. It was followed by the next, and final, entry of the trilogy, UFO Robo Grendizer. There were several crossovers among it and other Go Nagai series, such as Getter Robo and UFO Robo Grendizer, and the two main characters reappeared in Mazinkaiser.A Character Sheet is now in construction.

Great Mazinger / int_137f2d7	comment	Card-Carrying Villain: Dragon-in-Chief Great General of Darkness (Ankoku Daishogun) was very clear about his goals: he wanted the ancient Mycenae civilization returned to the surface world and felt the light of Sun for first time in milennia, and he thought conquering the surface and wiping the whole humanity out was the only way to accomplish that. However, Big Bad Great Emperor of Darkness didn't make clear that was his motivation. Then again, he was Hades. It's a bit hard not being evil when you are a God of Evil.

Great Mazinger / int_14beeefd	comment	Perhaps, to show how Darker and Edgier this series is, the first chapter of the manga that Tetsuya started becoming the main character already have this. Jun is kidnapped and become a hostage, resulted in Tetsuya being unable to attack, and even if he can, he cant see well thanks to the snowstorm. Its the victory for the villain for sure, had Boss didn't interfere during the fight.

Great Mazinger / int_17122b19	comment	Exactly What I Aimed At: In the Mazinkaiser movie Tetsuya is fighting Angoras and Scarabeth. Tetsuya throws Great Mazinger's Great Boomerang and right after shoots Great Typhoon. Both attacks miss, both commanders laugh and ask where he is aiming at... when Great Mazinger's boomerang slices them both from behind. As he is dying, Scarabeth -Mycenae army's best tactician- realizes Tetsuya had missed his boomerang throw on purpose, and he shot Great Typhoon to change the boomerang's trajectory. So he caught them by surprise and killed both of them at once.

Great Mazinger / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Son" Guy: Tetsuya was an orphan with a ton of abandonment and self-confidence issues. He constantly and gleefully risked his life on a daily basis by fighting ancient, giant monsters from Beneath the Earth so his adoptive father approved of him. Kenzo actually was proud of him, but he hardly thought of telling Tetsuya that, being more concerned with disciplining him when Tetsuya did or said something stupid (and since Tetsuya was a Jerkass Woobie and an Idiot Hero, it happened frequently). Because it, Tetsuya was always deadly frightened of losing his father if he was not good enough, and he got a breakdown at the end of the series when he thought it might happen.

Great Mazinger / int_178ca149	comment	The Worf Effect: Tetsuya was established in both series as an excellent Humongous Mecha Ace Pilot, Blood Knight Combat Pragmatist and highly competent, Hot-Blooded Badass. In the reimaginings (Mazinkaiser and Shin Mazinger) how do you show the situation at hand is dangerous and the villain a serious threat? Simple. Pit Tetsuya against said villain and injure him or make him struggle. This trope is also used in Mazinger Z: Infinity: How do you take the alternate Dr. Hell and his plan seriously? Watch him and his army turn Tetsuya into a Badass in Distress. Venus A was also used like a punching bag by the Mycenae Warrior Monsters when it was needed to show how terrible they were.

When Kenzo got reunited with Kouji, Tetsuya believed his father would forget about him now his son by blood was back. He got very jealous and argued and fought with his adoptive brother about anything and everything, determined to prove to their father that he was the better than Kouji. Unfortunately, his jealousy and his bickering caused Kenzo's death. He suffered a Freak Out cause it.

Great Mazinger / int_1c79ae8c	comment	Those Two Guys: Nuke and Mucha, best friends and tag-alongs of The Rival and Butt-Monkey Boss long before the start of the series. Before meeting and befriending Kouji Kabuto they were two average, ordinary high-school students, but after meeting him their daily life includes battles between Humongous Mechas, fighting or fleeing from armies of Mooks, sneaking into enemy secret bases and basically surviving. Often they get -unwillingly- dragged -by Boss- in Kouji's adventures, and they provide with the rational counterpoint -and lampshading- to any stupid stunt Boss has come up with. Later in the series Boss got himself a Made Of Junk Humongous Mecha and required that they helped him to pilot it -much to their chagrin-. In Great Mazinger their situation did not get more normal, that with the monsters from Beneath the Earth invading the surface world bit and Boss demanding they help him to fight them like part of an absolutely helpless plan to woo Tsundere Jun Hono -Love Interest of The Hero Tetsuya, whom Boss can not stand-.

It is not arguable when one his older biological son was about of being killed he sent a Humongous Mecha after the people was harming him. And when his adoptive son was about of being killed, he blew his assailant and himself up. Therefore, you do NOT want to threaten the lives of his sons.

Great Mazinger / int_24b88e85	comment	Unwanted Assistance: Jun was a Action Girl with a worth-of-years extensive training like mecha pilot and martial artist. Likewise, Venus A was clearly more powerful than the Mazinger Z Fem Bots). During her first mecha battle she fought the Mycenae War Beast skilfully, gaining the upper hand several times. She could have won... if Boss would have not gotten in the way EVERY TIME she was about of finishing the Robeast off, telling her girls should not fight and he would look after the Mycenae monster. Whenever she managed to shove him off, the War Beast had recovered and she had to begin again. The ironical part is Boss thought he was being chivalrous, charming and kind instead of an offensive and hindering nuisance.

During that time they had absolutely NO help to try and keep defending the humankind. They got many insults, though.

Similarly in Mazinger Z vs. The Great General of Darkness, Dante is the only spectral type warrior beast while the other six classes have two members.

Great Mazinger / int_4832a3bb	comment	Always Chaotic Evil: The Mycenae play with this trope. The Warrior Monsters are Humongous Mecha with the head of a Mycenae soldier implanted in the giant mechanical body. Since the soldiers are indoctrinated to attack and wipe out anything non-related to the Mycenae civilization, the trope is justified. On the other hand, the commanders of the army display different personalities and even honorable qualities (specially Ankoku Daishogun), and even though they are not portrayed as good, they are not portrayed as proud of being evil, either. They're more like a proud race of warriors who want to return to the surface world after being forced to live underground for a millennia.

Tetsuya is an Oblivious to Love Idiot Hero FULL of issues -he is the Trope Maker for Broken Ace, Jerkass Woobie and Inferiority Superiority Complex in Humongous Mecha anime-, and he is obsessed with piloting Great Mazinger and fighting the Mycenae Empire because he thinks if he does not, his life will be worthless and his adoptive father will love him no longer. Hence, he is unable to notice Jun's very obvious advances and flirting. And Jun is a Tsundere with plenty issues herself and little tolerance for oblivious fools. So they keep their Belligerent Sexual Tension throughout the entire series.

He devotes himself to his job, loathes the idea of being just normal and is perfectly right with having to kill giant monsters. However he used to be a lonely orphan little kid yearned for having a father. When Prof. Kabuto told him he would adopt him if he was willing to train to pilot a Humongous Mecha and defeat ancient bio-mechanical monsters from Beneath the Earth, Tetsuya agreed gleefully. Nevertheless, his obsessiveness combined with his abandonment issues, lacking of self-confidence and self-worth and a massively low opinion of himself (that he tried to hide behind of a mask of arrogance and pride) led to many troubles and finally to a masive breakdown. Jun also jumped at the call, but she managed to get it more together than him.

Dr. Hell became mad after having endured years of abuse, insults and mockery from everybody -including his parents- since he was a little kid, and even when he made a good action, he usually got beaten and scorned. The Great General of Darkness wanted to take over the surface world because the Mycenae civilization had been forced to live underground for millennia and he wanted his people to once again enjoy things humans take for granted; seeing sunlight again and breathing fresh air. Emperor Vega began invading other planets because his own homeworld was dying, and several of his henchmen were WellIntentionedExtremists wanted establishing a benevolent dictatorship because they genuinely believed Earth's people would be better off. And, frankly, humans in the Mazinger trilogy often acted like utter bastards and forced the heroes to ponder why they bothered.

However, he got Jun completely neglected, treating her like a soldier, not making anything about her feelings of abandoment and her inner tensions, and he seldom shown he cared for her. It went so far that, before dying after his Heroic Sacrifice he pleaded Kouji that he treated Tetsuya like his brother and took care of Shiro... but he did not mention Jun at all. Nonetheless, his attitude drove Jun to think she could not be dependant on someone else and to develop a very strong-willed and self-reliant personality.

Great Mazinger / int_830b0ac9	comment	Final Battle: It varies depending on if we are discussing the Go Nagai manga, the anime series or the Gosaku Ota manga. In the anime version, Great Marshall of Darkness sent several Warrior Monsters to attack the Photon Energy Research Institute as Demonika -his Cool Airship- stealthily approached the Fortress of Science. Kouji fought a powerful Warrior Beast but Tetsuya (who was irrationally jealous) refused to sortie to help him. Finally he deployed Great Mazinger, and Great Marshall chose that moment to attack. A Warrior Monster attacked Tetsuya as Demonika started bombarding the Fortress. Tetsuya was easily shot down and cut off reinforcements. Dr. Kabuto then commited a Heroic Sacrifice to save him. After retrieving his corpse, Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger, Venus A and Diana A regrouped and attacked Demonika together, blowing the Mycenae army up to Hell. The manga versions are similar, but there is a very important difference in the Gosaku Ota version: Tetsuya commited Heroic Sacrifice, self-detonating Great Mazinger to destroy Demonika and the Mycenae army.

In a few episodes the Japanese army threw an attack against the heroes and their Home Base, Prof. Kabuto went through a Despair Event Horizon, the Fortress of the Science got destroyed, forcing the heroes to run away and lie low, the Mycenae burnt Tokyo to ashes, conquered Japan and crafted a Kill Sat, obliterating whole cities. Then you have the Final Battle. The heroes were busy building a new Home Base when the Mycenae army launch an attack. Misato gets sliced in half in front of Tetsuya as he is unable to do anything, Mazinger-Z and Great Mazinger are trashed, Prof. Kabuto dies to save Tetsuya, and in reaction Tetsuya, realizing it was his blame commits a Taking You with Me Heroic Sacrifice. The Final Battle in the anime version was not quite so brutal, but in exchange you had a scene where Prof. Kabuto dies in arms of his son Kouji.

Great Mazinger / int_ac6ea68c	comment	Near-Villain Victory: This series provides several examples. Two of them stand out: In the Gosaku Ota manga episodes, Great Marshall of Darkness sucessfully blackmailed Japanese army into destroying Great Mazinger and the Fortress of Science. The army bombarded the Fortress and stormed into the place before blowing it up completely, and the heroes were forced to flee and lie low for a while. Meanwhile, Mycenae army conquered Japan. In the last episodes of the anime and Gosaku Ota manga, the Mycenae army struck the Fortress and in the manga, Marquis Janus traped Misato and cut her in half, and attacked Mazinger-Z and Great Mazinger separately. Kouji and Tetsuya nearly got killed, and Prof. Kabuto commited a Heroic Sacrifice to save Tetsuya. The generals of the Mycenae army laughed. Five minutes later they were not laughing. Perhaps, to show how Darker and Edgier this series is, the first chapter of the manga that Tetsuya started becoming the main character already have this. Jun is kidnapped and become a hostage, resulted in Tetsuya being unable to attack, and even if he can, he cant see well thanks to the snowstorm. Its the victory for the villain for sure, had Boss didn't interfere during the fight.

Great Mazinger / int_c5594984	comment	Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: Subverted. For start with, the Headquarters of the Fortress of Science are not located in Tokyo on the Japanese shore. Therefore, the enemy feels not compelled to exclusively target and attack Tokyo. A lot of Japanese cities are destroyed, and in the Mazinger Z versus Great General of Darkness, the Mycenae army struck New York, Londres and Moscow before striking Tokyo.

Great Mazinger / int_d8e0e9f7	type	Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You
Great Mazinger / int_d8e0e9f7	comment	Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: It is both played straight and subverted: Kenzo's sons, Kouji and Shiro, grew up believing their parents had died from a laboratory experiment that went wrong. However, Kenzo's father saved his son's life by turning him into a cyborg. Neither of them told Kouji and Shiro he was alive because Kenzo was building a Humongous Mecha to repel the Mycenae invasion they predicted, and train its pilot. And both his father and he wanted to shield Kouji and Shiro from danger and psychological shock. It was not a bad reason, even if it was somewhat weak because Juzo was also building a Humongous Mecha as he raised them, even if he did hire a maid because he was so absent. When Kenzo revealed the truth to his sons, it took a long while for Shiro to forgive him, though Kouji forgave him right away. It is subverted with Kouji and Shiro's mother in the original series. In episode 90 from Mazinger Z, their mother appeared in the Institute, revealing she was alive and asking meeting her sons before telling them why she let them believe she was dead during years. Shiro was happy of getting his mother back, but Kouji was distrustful. It turned out that Kouji was right. Their mother was truly dead and that woman was a cyborg fabricated by Dr. Hell to infiltrate the Institute and destroy Mazinger from within. So her "good reason for abandoning them" was false.

One eyepatch covering his left eye was the only mark of the ordeal he had endured. Little explanation was given other than an statement of Emperor of Darkness had relived him and turned into one of his Warrior Monsters (and high commander of his army). It can may be worth mentioning many Mazinger-Z characters returned in the last episodes from the sequel, so maybe Executive Meddling was involved.

That same arrogance also made him bickering with Jun, and Tetsuya Would Hit a Girl even though Jun is both his Love Interest, his Battle Couple, and adoptive sister. On the other hand, he has a massive inferiority complex, and his lacking sense of self worth and constant fear of being replaced became FAR more apparent after Koji's return, which caused so many problems that later resulted in Kenzo's death. And, much like Asuka Langley Sohryu, he had to pay a very heavy prize to learn his lesson. And in one of the Great Mazinger manga back in the seventies he had to fight nine Mass-Production Great Mazingers... Yes, he is Asuka's template, definitely.

None of them worked, and the monster ripped off Great's arms and melted one leg. What did Tetsuya do? He tried to headbutt it. In one of the first episodes, Kenzo Kabuto had to actually threaten him with — to Tetsuya — a Fate Worse than Death: "Return to the Fortress NOW or else you will be out of Great Mazinger... permanently." In his climatic Sword Fight with The Dragon Great General of Darkness, his mecha was damaged and running out of power and he was badly hurt after a battle when he was informed that the Great General of Darkness — the biggest villain badass of the Mazinverse — was approaching to challenge him. Everyone exhorted him to run away. What did Tetsuya do? Pick up two swords and meet his rival's challenge.
