| The Moon (Manga) | comment |
In the mountains, a group of nine schoolchildren come across an enormous robot called "The Moon". Its creator, a man who introduces himself as Baron Ma-Ma, offers it over to them, explaining vaguely that it is a Superweapon designed to move only when all nine kids combine their power. "God is dead", says Ma-Ma. The world overflows with wickedness, and so he has decided to invent justice.The Moon is a Shounen manga by George Akiyama, famous for controversial Seinen works like Asura, which ran in Shonen Sunday from 1972-1973.See Bokurano for a 2000s manga heavily inspired by this series (down to its main robot, Zearth/The Earth, being named after The Moon In-Universe, and having a character named Dung Beetle). | |

First Church of Mecha | |
| The Moon (Manga) / int_24383e9b | comment |
First Church of Mecha: The Moon is frequently compared to a "god of justice", or to the giant metal Buddha statues of old (though one character cynically points out that those statues, which inspired so much religious devotion, were ultimately built by humans for political reasons). Sansuu expresses a wish that it will be able to stay immobile, with no one needing its power. The ending also juxtaposes The Moon with a quote from Romain Rolland: | |

Psychic Powers: When The Moon is being overwhelmed by the flying Humongous Mecha Fabul, the kids manage to telekinetically lift it into the sky. They can do this only while their thoughts are perfectly aligned, which they normally achieve by chanting a sutra together. Baron Ma-Ma explains in a Flash Back that everyone has the potential for such powers, which he demonstrates by telekinetically influencing the roll of a dice. | |

However, he then has a Freak Out in which he sees The Moon as a "god of justice", and immediately surrenders. | |

By sheer luck, the heroes find the machine which generates the mould but all of them get infected by mould and die before they can get close enough to shut it down. | |

| The Moon (Manga) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: There are some situations which hint that The Moon is in some way sapient or feels empathy towards human suffering. See also First Church of Mecha above. The Moon's strange "tears" seem to flow strongest in situations that could cause emotional distress, such as when it's under a villain's control and attempting to kill one of the kids. In the first arc, after colliding with power lines, Moon suddenly begins crying and acting without commands - grabbing the hydrogen bomb and running into the sea to get it as far away from civilisation as possible. | |

Wonder Twin Powers: Exaggerated. The Moon is completely immobile unless all nine of the kids are sending it mental commands at the same time, indicated by nine lights around its head. This makes it useless whenever one of their number is absent, or unable to concentrate, or disagrees about how to use Moon's power, or dies from alien mould. | |
