ROCK ME!
BURN IT UP!
Kabuto Kouji is sleeping.
Right now, the end of this fight has been beaten into his broken body.
No matter how much the sorrowful roar echoes through this machine’s body,
Kabuto Kouji will not be able to hear it.
Before him quietly stands the beginning and end of the destiny he rose up against.
Activate! Mazinger!
The near future has come and gone.
Feeling uncertain over the depletion of energy resources,
people discovered a single hope:
the Photonic Power Laboratory.
The energy extracted from Japanium ore, found deep below the base of Mount Fuji, was named Photonic Power.
Research was conducted daily to use the power, which far surpassed anyone’s imagination,
promising to solve all the world’s energy problems.
However, it was a dangerous energy.
Were a single mistake to be made, it would become a terrible weapon of destruction.
Here is a man who sought to make Photonic Power his own. His name is Dr. Hell.
Ashura?
Baron Ashura, where are you?
I am right here, Dr. Hell!
Good of you to come. Tonight, I will treat you to the celebration of our victory.
Celebration? Do you mean that we will finally…
Indeed. We will finally begin my dream of world domination.
Then, will you allow us, the Ashura Army, to lead the first campaign?
I am grateful!
I, Baron Ashura, will decorate this first battle with victory!
Then, go. Head for Japan, to the Photonic Power Laboratory!
That brilliant light will the lead the way!
Look! It’s a success!
The experiment is a complete success!
This is the first step towards the utilization of Photonic Power as the next generation of energy.
They’ve begun the experiment using the Atami region in Japan as a model.
This is Professor Yumi Yannosuke, the developer of this energy that far surpasses nuclear power.
Fool.
That’s a nice cut.
This was done by a master.
This is the fourth this one this week,
and they’ve all occurred around this house.
The Kabuto mansion.
Good morning.
What’s wrong, Shiro?
Don’t just pop out like that!
Your face is scary, Grandpa!
Sorry, Shiro.
It’s not a face you’d want to see first thing in the morning.
Well, I’m sorry. I was being too honest.
Uh oh!
Hey!
Don’t say such rude things, Shiro.
Who do you suppose we have to thank for this breakfast?
Still, I can’t eat stuff like this first thing in the morning.
Really? It looks pretty good.
More importantly, Shiro!
Sorry! I’m sorry!
Talking about Grandpa’s face in front of you is taboo.
It’s fine. Besides, it’s thanks to your cooking that we can have breakfast like this.
You’re welcome!
You’ve grown accustomed to this by now, haven’t you?
Just please don’t go out and marry some guy, right?
You, there!
What business do you have with that mansion?
That sword… Are you the murderer?
Don’t move!
Wh—Where did he go?
Now it’s a lot easier to eat, Grandpa.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah. You were up late watching TV last night. That’s unusual for you.
Were you watching that Photonic Power experiment?
Ow! Gotcha!
Oh, would you two mind coming home early today?
There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.
You want to talk?
Yes.
Bro, this is another new bike!
And on top of that, Grandpa tuned the engine, so it’s got amazing power!
As expected of a former famous scientist.
Thanks to his patents on inventions, our family has plenty of money.
But it mostly gets used for new research. What a waste.
Yeah. He seems to be up to something again, but he won’t let me into his lab
to keep what happened to our folks from happening again.
I’m sorry.
It’s all my fault that you lost your parents.
But we’re not worried about it.
Besides, to him, money isn’t for goofing around or extravagance.
It’s for making amazing new inventions!
He’s a cool and wonderful grandfather!
I really like him!
Me, too!
I’ve located Kabuto Kouji.
His younger brother, Shiro, is on a bike with him.
Altering the schedule. I will make contact with him tonight.
Is it really him?
Yes.
Is he strong?
Enough to be a pain.
Got it. Proceed as planned.
Okay!
So dirty…
If I do this and this, my moustache will stick out, too!
There’s no mistake. This old geezer is that mansion’s…
And just like the info said, he comes to this bath every day.
And he really stinks.
Please be careful!
Thanks.
And he leaves by the rear exit.
Apparently he’s old friends with the mistress here.
Now where to?
Couldn’t see the mistress today, either.
Looks like trouble’s brewing.
I must give the item to Kouji as soon as possible.
Hey! What are you doing?
This cut again…
That’s odd. Was that guy in this precinct?
Another member of the recon scouts has been killed.
The enemy is skilled.
I did not think they would act before we did.
Let us challenge them to a fair fight
in the name of Baron Ashura!
Bro, come on and pick me up soon!
Sorry to keep you waiting, Shiro.
You’re Kabuto Kouji’s little brother, right?
Y—Yeah.
What? Some weird guys took Shiro?
They said they were heading for the cape to run an errand for his brother.
What?
There, there. Good. Good.
This stuff’s good.
Homage to Buddha.
Now the mansion is well-guarded.
When Kouji gets back, I’ll tell him everything.
Did something get caught already?
I’m on fire! I’m on fire!
Who are you?
Is this what you wanted to ask me about?
Yeah. Who are you?
Why is someone trying to kill you?
I was ordered to guard you,
but someone besides me is already protecting you,
and what was that hot thing earlier?
Since you asked…
Since I asked…
Since you asked…
Since I asked…
Since you asked…
I’m sorry. I don’t have the energy for this anymore.
Oh, my! You’re a…
What happened to the photographs?
Did you destroy the evidence?
Impossible! This is an experimental city that uses Photonic Power!
A blackout’s just not…
It would seem something got the sea-floor substation.
Looks like you came at a bad time.
Well, I’ll protect my own life.
What?
Bro!
Wh—Who are these guys?
I’ll tell you, Kabuto Kouji.
These are the leaders of schools from all over the country,
and the one in charge of them is me, Boss.
What does Japan’s number one leader want? Let my brother go!
Can’t do that.
If we did, you wouldn’t fight Boss.
Of course not! I have no reason to fight you!
But there is one!
Listen up. My goal is to dominate Japan’s student body,
but there’s no leader at Atami,
so I did some research.
I found out that you’re secretly in charge here.
You don’t come out unless something big happens.
We figured if we used your little brother as bait…
Just as I thought!
Now, fight me and let me take over!
I refuse. I want nothing to do with that.
Shut up!
I could drag out that old geezer of yours, too.
Where did you go, Geezer?
What?
Answer me, Old Man!
I know how much you love that old geezer.
And what’s with that old geezer?
Thought he’d be a wrinkly old guy from going to the bath every day,
but he’s got one hell of a face.
Even I was a little frightened.
Um…
If you keep laughing, something bad will…
Don’t laugh!
You all need to shut up.
What was that?
Not my problem.
Since you made fun of Grandpa, you won’t make it back alive.
Stay quiet, Shiro!
I won’t let them talk about Grandpa ever again.
What?
Son of a…
Boss!
Don’t move!
Let Shiro go,
or do you want to be finished off, too?
You want to take over Japan when this is all you’ve got? What a joke!
He showed his true self.
Be quiet.
Want me to make it so you can’t laugh at other people’s faces?
That’s enough, Kabuto Kouji!
This is no time to be doing that!
Your grandfather is in danger!
What’s this?
Who is that? Come out! What are you talking about?
My chance!
Now it’s my turn!
Shiro, are you all right?
Bro!
You said your name was Boss! We’ll fight again later!
Yeah! Let’s go Nuke, Mucha!
Yeah!
Hang on tight, Shiro!
You got it!
Kouji! Can you hear me, Kouji?
Grandpa.
Just run!
That thing is after me and you two!
You’re kidding. What is that thing?
Do you know, Grandpa?
We’ll talk later! I’m sending the Pilder over to you now!
Pilder? What’s that?
It’ll be fine. It operates just like a bike.
All right. I’ll lose that thing somehow.
There’s another one!
As expected of the gifted racer Kabuto Kouji!
That voice is the same as before!
Aphrodite A!
Now, hurry!
Thanks!
That foolish Yumi! Your daughter’s Aphrodite A is nothing!
More importantly…
Go, Pilder!
Just charge in!
Now, come!
I won’t let you advance another step!
Grandpa!
Bro! It’s about to catch up!
What was that, Bro?
Missiles!
Where did they come from?
Pilder. Is that Pilder?
Yes. This is the meeting between Kabuto Kouji and his beloved craft, the Hover Pilder!
Bro! It’s not dead!
All right, then!
Let’s go!
That’s Dr. Kabuto’s…
That thing from before?
Now, come, Kouji!
Your destiny was decided the moment you sat in that pilot seat!
The destiny of an endless fight that is about to begin.
You will surpass humanity!
Will you become a god, or a devil?
Show me which you will choose!
Now, rise, my life’s greatest work!
That’s…
And then Kouji saw it!
Arms, chest, a giant face…
That’s right! This is the iron castle that soars through the sky: Mazinger Z!
