ROCK ME!
BURN IT UP!
No… Don’t do it, Lorelai.
Please… I’m begging you not to fight, Lorelai.
If Donau wins, then I’ll lose my brother and Mazinger Z.
But if Mazinger wins, I’ll lose you!
No! No! Lorelai!
One day, a blue-eyed girl named Lorelai appeared at the door of the Kurogane House.
She had an adorable smile that I’ll never forget.
That was the beginning of my first love, and of this tragedy.
Shame! The Kabuto Family’s Great Sin Revealed!
Cold, so cold…
Where did that Kabuto kid go off to?
It’s just an owl!
Scared the hell out of me.
Get away from me!
I’ve had enough!
That’s not even funny.
But why is he here?
And man, his face is as weird as ever.
Where is he headed?
I know!
No… She’s my mother?
You’ve said too much.
I didn’t think you’d kept the fact you were their parent a secret after living together at the Kurogane House.
You were pretty sly yourself,
using such a little girl to lure Shiro out here.
Lure me?
How rude.
I invited him over to thank him for taking good care of my daughter.
Your methods are as roundabout as ever.
So are yours.
What’s so funny?!
I’m going home.
Shiro!
My mother died in an accident!
That’s what Grandpa said!
So, there’s no way that she’s here.
Yeah, there’s no way…
Wait!
You can’t.
This time of night is very dangerous!
If you go into the fog, you’ll never come back out.
So, please…
B—But…
My goodness. You really haven’t explained anything to him, have you?
Nishikiori… Wait, you’re Kabuto Tsubasa now.
I didn’t come all the way to Germany to be told that.
I’m well aware.
I happily accept your request,
but do not be in such a hurry. Spend some time with me.
I came back from Hell to see you again.
By the way, Shiro, you’ve been reunited with your mother,
but there’s another who you shouldn’t forget about.
Do you mean…
I’m talking about your father.
What’s the matter? Is it going to take time?
No. It’s the same as a motorcycle, like Grandpa said, so it’ll be fine.
The fog is thickening up in our favor. We should be able to hide Mazinger until you’re done.
So, why did the Mistress take Gamia to that castle?
No clue. Ask the Mistress about the particulars.
All I can say is, that place is like a border between this world and the next.
What shall we talk about first?
Kabuto Kenzo… Kabuto Kenzo.
Let us begin with the day my beloved Tsubasa returned from Bardos Island. I’ll never forget that day.
She’s back! She’s back!
My Tsubasa has returned!
Tsubasa! Tsubasa!
Welcome home! Welcome home, Tsubasa!
So good of you to come back!
Th—That child…
I said I would take Tsubasa to Germany!
I won’t allow it!
Those children can come too.
Tsubasa and I were engaged before she went to Bardos Island.
Despite that, your son Kabuto Kenzo—
Don’t say any more!
No more…
At the time, there were three geniuses in the field of robotic engineering.
One was Kabuto Juuzo. Another was me.
And the third was your father, Kabuto Kenzo.
But as you have heard, he is dead.
It happened during the excavation of Mechanical Beasts on Bardos Island.
And when I tried to get Tsubasa back, Juuzo made a bet with me.
Then, do you want to challenge me?
We’ll each use our own robots.
A challenge?
Yes. We’ll each make a robot and have them fight each other.
And if you win, do as you wish with Tsubasa.
Sir!
Relax! I have photonic power and Super Alloy Z!
I will not lose, no matter what kind of robot Heinrich creates!
Very well. I accept your challenge.
You will regret this. Even if you have the protection of photonic power, I also have something that will not lose.
You mean…
That’s right.
While you had gone mad about Bardos Island, I nearly completed my research.
Tsubasa, look forward to it.
I will be victorious and take you back from the house of Kabuto.
But…
I died and went to Hell before we had our match.
That’s terrible…
It was an accident. An accident.
Then, why are you here now?
I met a man while I was in Hell.
He went by the name of Dr. Hell.
You have a guest.
One who is quite a pain.
I declare to the master of this castle, Doctor Schtroheim Heinrich:
I am Baron Ashura!
I have returned from Hell just as you did!
I would like an audience with you immediately!
Let’s go!
It may get a little hectic now. Do not worry, and go to sleep.
All right.
And Shiro, I’ll have you behave as well.
What’s up with this?!
It’s only for a little while.
You don’t want to see those people, do you?
Stop! Wait! Wait!
I thought I heard a voice I recognized.
Hey, what are you doing? Don’t fall behind.
Oh, sorry!
Hey, what’s going on here?
Why is she here?
Well, well, what an odd person to be present here.
You just don’t give up.
Do you want to fight me again and be paralyzed again?
Oh, the reason I am here today has nothing to do with you.
Meaning?
I came here to take Schtoheim’s research.
I thought as much.
Then, allow me to show you.
So, it had been completed!
Donau is indeed,
as promised. This is the world’s greatest robot.
I see. This is Schtroheim’s…
Well done, Schtroheim!
We can defeat Mazinger with this!
I will take this to Dr. Hell!
Wait.
What?!
I cannot hand this over yet.
Have you forgotten the obligation you have to Dr. Hell for bringing you back from the land of the dead?
Not at all, but this is not complete yet.
Ridiculous. What about it is incomplete?!
I see. So, that’s why you called Shiro here.
That’s right.
What are you talking about?!
This is starting to turn ugly.
Now’s my chance.
No matter. With its current level of completion, we can finish it ourselves!
Just obey and hand it over!
Do not be hasty.
All I need to do is to choose between handing Donau over or fighting.
Then…
I’d rather fight!
Heaven help me!
What was that?!
A hand from the floor?!
Shut up! Let me out!
Let me out! Let me out of here, you bastard!
That voice? So it was you, Shiro!
The ill-bred cop!
Damn that Heinrich!
He had a weapon like that hidden in his body!
Just you watch! I’ll show you the fearsomeness of Baron Ashura!
I won’t hand over my precious Donau to the likes of you.
Gamia!
Meeting a place like this… We were linked by the string of fate after all!
Jeez, at a time like this…
Now, let’s finish your business first.
And hurry it up.
That’s…
But in exchange, Shiro will be—
That’s fine.
Thank you.
With his mother’s consent, I can use him without constraint.
Will the Donau really be completed by this?
With Shiro, most certainly.
Hey, Shiro, it sounds like you’re in trouble.
Let us cut to the chase and start with my answer.
I built this Gamia.
Then…
I left this behind after being revived by Dr. Hell.
Ashura simply used it.
The only ones in the world who could make this would be myself or Kenzo.
That must be why you were worried.
You must have been frightened.
You were the one who killed Kenzo, after all.
Bardos Island. Everything started there.
Only a few memories were passed down through word of mouth and the written word.
A very long time ago, long before Christ,
the ancestors of the Greeks, the Mykenes, were protected by legendary giant soldiers.
At the height of their prosperity, they lived in their land, Bardos Island.
However, at some time, they disappeared along with their ultimate military power,
at the hand of a god named Zeus.
His name was Z Mazinger. You knew that, correct?
I knew that right away when I saw Mazinger Z, created by Juuzo.
And your son, Kouji, too…
So, he has encountered Zeus.
What a troublesome bloodline that Kabuto family is.
I couldn’t stop them
from opening the gate He once protected.
What was sleeping inside was the legacy of wonderful legends.
I didn’t see it.
That’s right! I have not seen anything!
That is why…
That’s probably why I’m living happily now,
enveloped by the murmurings of the Donau River in my homeland.
Just wait for me, Gamia!
I’ll rescue you right away!
Let’s go home to Japan together.
And then, the two of us will…
Oh, my!
What do we do, Shiro? It sounded like that old guy was going to use you for an experiment.
Yeah…
We have to run! The Mistress is still here, though.
Forget her! Because…
You were the one who killed Kenzo, after all.
Forget her!
Where are you going?!
I’ll be right back!
I don’t know what you’re up to, but hurry!
That’s right! I need to hurry!
She shouldn’t stay in a place like this!
Everything you say is true.
However, this child has no mother.
Throughout history, the one to protect a child has been its parent, but I…
What you did then was just.
Thanks to you, I was saved.
Thanks to you…
No…
I wonder why I can be my old self around this child.
At least, I feel like my old self.
But I am a traitor.
That won’t be enough this time.
Gamia is back!
What’s all this?!
Wh—What?!
Lorelai!
Shiro!
Let’s run! Let’s get out of this castle!
B—But…
What’s going on?!
The castle is moving!
Shiro!
Impossible! I’ve lost control of the castle?!
Exactly.
Did you think that defense system was enough?
What?
It’s been a long time, Schtroheim.
Don’t think you were the only one to return from Hell.
Kabuto Tsubasa.
Could it be you?
Why are you so frightened?
Or, have you forgotten about me?
Your husband. Kabuto Kenzo.
