BURN IT UP!
Mazin Go!
The final judgment has been handed down,
the dark army is closing in
and the flames covering the scarlet, scarlet sky are BURNING!
BURNING THIS ANGER, BURNING THIS SUN.
Shone upon by a streak of lightning,
the steel guard rises and stands.
GOD’S ON THE GROUND, donning the armor of miracles.
The world is now engulfed in darkness
and waits for this power.
If it’s with you, I can feel it, Knight.
You can do it.
ROCK ME!
You alone are the strongest knight.
You can do it.
ROCK ME!
BURN IT UP!
Showdown! The Sorrowful, Blue Donau!
Wh—What is it?
Could this be my fault?!
Impossible! I’ve lost control of the castle?!
Exactly.
It’s been a long time, Schtroheim.
What?!
Do not think that you were the only one to return from Hell.
Could it be you?
Why are you so frightened?
Or, have you forgotten about me?
Your husband. Kabuto Kenzo.
So, you’re still alive!
Be careful! I built these, after all!
Your skills are as great as ever!
As would be expected from two who were once betrothed,
you’re completely in sync with each other.
But that woman is dangerous.
She did kill me.
Ten years ago, on Bardos Island.
But I’m fine now, as you can see.
How annoying.
The Kabuto family always gets in my way.
So, you plan to use my son Shiro for revenge?
If I do that, my research will be complete.
W—Was that…
I don’t know.
What kind of research does your dad do?
W—Well, you see…
A robot with a heart?!
That’s right. Mazinger Z is just a robot with a man inside.
No matter how good the pilot is, it takes trouble and time.
However, if the robot thinks for itself and makes its own decisions,
then no man will be able to keep up with its speed!
Juuzo figured that out and murdered me before my bout with Mazinger.
Th—That can’t be…
When I was revived by Dr. Hell, I swore to create the ultimate robot!
And Donau taught me many things.
To be angry! To laugh!
Then, hurry and hand it over.
There is still something missing.
Something you learn when you lose something dear to you.
So…
So, we just couldn’t give it that.
That’s why I must take something dear from Donau, as I lost something dear to me.
What does that have to do with me?
Allow me to tell you!
A Mechanical Beast!
That’s not all! Look!
Nishikiori Tsubasa, you are a woman after all!
You were frightened of a man who was supposed to be dead.
I see! You put Kenzo’s program into Gamia.
I did it! Bingo!
If Gamia lost at the Kurogane House, I knew that you would go to Schtroheim.
I set this trap assuming that.
This time, I will have your research!
Shiro!
That’s your face on that robot’s chest!
But why?!
Now, come! Donau α1!
Donau!
Schtroheim!
Another robot!
Okay, the repairs are complete. Get on, Cross!
No! If things continue like this…
Tsubasa, I will go after Donau.
So, you…
I know.
I’m counting on you!
What an amazing robot.
And what’s Baron Ashura planning?
More importantly, look!
Lorelai!
That voice!
Hurry!
Mistress!
Did you make it in time, Cross?!
Hurry!
It’s falling!
D—Don’t leave me behind!
We’re getting out of here!
That voice?!
If I return with Donau α1, the ultimate robot, Dr. Hell will forgive me.
I won’t allow it.
What?
Bastard! When did you get in here?!
Please, give me Donau α1 back.
How dare you ask such a thing!
Who do you have to thank for being able to create this Donau?
It was all thanks to Dr. Hell!
I know that!
But he was intending to use it right away,
this incomplete Donau.
Of course!
So, I wanted to make Donau into the ultimate robot, in name and in reality.
To defeat Juuzo!
Exactly.
So, I would like you to wait until that day comes!
Until Donau is truly complete!
There is no need.
Then, die!
B—Bastard!
Fool. Did you think the same trick would work twice?
Papa?!
Go back to Hell, dead man!
Papa?
Papa!
Lorelai!
Papa! Papa!
Lorelai, you’re safe.
Papa, are you all right? Papa!
I’m sorry, but I’m done for.
But before I go, there is something I must tell you.
It’s your secret.
Secret?
I’m sorry, Lorelai, but you…
You are not my daughter.
You are not even human.
You are the real Donau α1.
N—No…
I was intending to settle my match with Juuzo, and then hand you over to Dr. Hell,
but…
As I taught you emotions and raised you as a human, I began to forget that you were a robot.
Then, I began to love you as my real daughter.
Th—Then… What is that?!
As you can see,
Baron Ashura has taken her body.
Lorelai, you are Donau’s brain, its heart!
Me?
But it wasn’t completed.
Indeed, Lorelai, you are very close to being human,
but you are missing one thing.
That is sorrow.
Sorrow?
All Schtroheim could teach you was happiness, because that’s what his love brought you.
There was no way he could teach you sorrow.
So, he thought to use Shiro.
M—Me?
Indeed.
If something unfortunate happened to you after she had befriended you, she would be saddened.
So, I even thought about taking your life.
That’s terrible!
How ironic.
You ended up using your own life for that purpose.
Really.
It really is quite ironic.
Papa…
Lorelai.
Will you hear my last wish?
Wish?
Defeat Mazinger Z!
Mazinger Z?!
Yes! Defeat it and settle my match with Juuzo!
And make the world acknowledge Donau α1’s greatness!
Make the name of Doctor Schtroheim Heinrich immortal!
I will.
If that is your wish, Papa.
For my papa, who gave me life.
For my papa, who loved me as a human!
I will defeat Mazinger Z!
Then, pull out that ribbon!
That is the mechanism which will combine you with Donau.
Yes!
No!
If you pull that, you won’t be human anymore!
So, please, stop!
Lorelai!
The Kabuto family is to stay out of this!
Lorelai!
That’s right. By pulling out that ribbon, you and Donau are attracted to each other,
and you will fly into the eye of the Lorelai on its chest.
And, when that happens…
Donau’s color is—
Lorelai’s face is…
That’s right.
When Lorelai becomes one, the black Donau’s body will become the blue of the Donau River of my home.
When that happens, Donau’s hand is your hand.
Donau’s foot is your foot!
And my beloved daughter Lorelai Heinrich will become Donau α1!
C—Could it be? This is…
Baron Ashura!
I am not a puppet for such a small man as yourself!
It spoke!
So, he had completed it!
A robot with a heart!
I wanted to live peacefully with my father, Schtroheim.
But you murdered my…
You murdered him!
I sentence you to death!
I am filled with regret.
Tsubasa.
I have a favor to ask.
Do not bring me back to life.
Scientists are always like this.
You put your research over yourself.
And you didn’t want to show the world Donau’s greatness.
You wanted to show it to me, the one who left you.
But there’s one thing you misunderstood.
I was the one who killed you back then.
Because…
I needed the thing Juuzo was making.
Mazinger Z! I am Donau α1,
the greatest robot of all time, created by Doctor Heinrich!
Heinrich?!
Schtroheim Heinrich?!
That’s right!
And I will defeat you, Mazinger, to prove that I am the ultimate robot!
No, Lorelai!
Stay as the Lorelai you were before!
Stop this, Bro!
Lorelai became Donau’s brain.
Get out of the way, Shiro!
Donau and Mazinger cannot avoid this fated battle.
Exactly! I’ll show you that my papa was superior!
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!
Bro… Lorelai…
Here I come!
Not bad.
Mazinger! Have a taste of your own Rocket Punch!
Take that! And that!
She’s fast. She moves so fast.
Return to me, Rocket Punch!
Rust Hurricane!
No! My arm’s been hit by Rust Hurricane!
Then…
Breast Fire!
German Blizzard!
Oh, no… Mazinger’s…
Freeze!
Stop, Lorelai!
Please, go back to being the old Lorelai!
No. I’m part of the completed Donau.
I can’t go back to being human.
So… So…
Die, Mazinger!
Got you!
Lorelai!
Thank you, Shiro,
for becoming my friend.
Thank you, Shiro,
for being kind to me.
But…
But I can’t stop this fight with Mazinger.
Even if I end up killing your brother,
even if I end up being hated by you…
Because that was the wish of my father, the one who gave me life.
Lorelai!
So, I will destroy Mazinger!
Lorelai!
Jerk! Mazinger, you big jerk!
Why didn’t you lose?!
You big jerk!
Shiro.
It moved. It’s still moving.
This broken machine continued to make a sound.
It made a sound like Lorelai’s song.
Lorelai sung her song quietly and sorrowfully to Shiro,
forever and ever.
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.
