The destroyer of the neverending darkness.
The one who fights God. The incarnation of evil.
Time is frozen, and there come cries of anger.
Give me the power to cut through the darkness!
The sky cracks, and the flames dance.
A great demon appears!
Now that we’ve come this far, no one can slow us down.
With your hands held over your head, what are you going to grasp?
For whom is your strong, burning courage?
The answer surely lies at the place we’re both headed for.
As we keep walking, we’re staring at the future.
Now shoot the ground!
Joint Fight! Journey to the Dangerous Past!
How dare you turn my Mazinger into a demon.
That’s why I told you this would happen.
More importantly, what is Kedra?
You know, don’t you?
Hold on.
Don’t let your guard down.
It’s not over yet.
Who are you?
Me?
My name is Archduke Gorgon.
Commander of Bardos Island!
What?!
How dare you!
What?! The pillar is…
Hurry! We’re getting out of this thing!
What a thing to happen…
Good work excavating this pillar!
I, Archduke Gorgon, thank you!
Blocken!
Damn you!
Talos statues! Get him!
Destroy him along with that pillar!
What’s the matter?!
Can you not hear Dr. Hell’s commands?!
What?!
I don’t know what you’ve done, but these were formerly my subordinates.
They know whose orders take priority.
What…
Now, I will be taking Bardos Island back.
What is that?
A pillar?
That’s from Bardos Island.
What?
It was still alive!
Don’t let it get away!
Bastard!
Oh, no!
That’s Kedra’s…
I—It’s coming this way!
Does it intend to infect this laboratory?
What?!
It seems he has found something interesting.
It must be…
There’s no end to this!
Kouji, please! It’s infected many of our sectors.
No! It’s noticed the entrance to the underground sector!
Underground? Is there something down there?!
Japanium ore.
That’s the…
The source of photon energy and Super Alloy Z.
This isn’t good.
So, you’ve found it!
It seems he’s after the same thing we are.
I shall head there as well,
but I shall take care of them before I do.
You use strange magic.
But how long can you withstand this sword?!
Hang in there, Pygman! I’ll take care of him!
Don’t make me laugh! What can just a head do?!
Wh—What?!
Let go of me!
Do it!
Damn you, Dr. Hell.
This will not go unpunished.
Well done, Blocken, Pygman.
But now we have no choice.
Can you hear me, people of the Photonic Power Laboratory?
Can you hear me?
This voice… It’s Dr. Hell!
It seems as though we’re suffering from the same problem.
What?!
We’re the ones suffering from what you’ve brought down on yourself!
Are you sure you want to speak to me so harshly?
If Kedra latches itself onto the Japanium ore…
There will be a super-powerful photonic meltdown.
I—If that were to happen…
Destroy. Destroy. Destroy.
That’s terrible!
We’ll have to completely squash the Kedra that got away.
But how?
I have a plan.
Kabuto Kouji, you will have to go inside the pillar.
You’re going to order me around?!
So, you want to join forces.
In this situation, fighting together is our only choice.
Interesting. We accept.
Don’t decide for me!
Be quiet. What other choice do we have?
I can take out this pillar!
Why, you—
Don’t waste your energy.
We won’t be able to get close so easily.
Kouji and I will go in.
What will you be doing?
And how do we get in there?
Leave that to me.
I have the perfect person for the job.
He’s already in front of you.
What?!
Didn’t you die in Germany?
I see. Use Mykene against Mykene.
Ashura’s one of them!
I side with Dr. Hell.
Right now, I am Dr. Hell’s possession.
That’s right.
I owe him greatly for bringing me back from the land of the dead not only once, but twice!
No matter how I may try, I will never be able to fully repay him.
However, if I can repay but a small portion of that debt,
I will give him my life over and over again!
I will be observing your loyalty.
Now, what will you do, Kabuto Kouji?!
Will you go inside with me and fight?!
We don’t have any other choice but to go with what Dr. Hell says.
But…
Stop whining!
Y—You guys!
Why?!
Where the Mistress goes, the Kurogane Five follow!
Miss Okiku is watching the house, though.
In that case, follow me!
Fine! I’ll go! Is that what you want?!
Open a path!
I see. Mykene follows a Mykenean’s orders.
However, be careful. This Kedra has already gone mad.
Then…
Hell…
Or Heaven…
We won’t find out until we get in!
The enemy is sleeping right now.
Then…
It’s war!
All forces, begin attack!
Full speed ahead!
Shoot! Shoot!
Delightful! How delightful!
Did you see how pathetic those humans looked?
And compared to them, the power of our gods…
The word “marvelous” doesn’t do them justice.
I fall into a trance when I gaze upon their noble figures.
Hey, is that something you should say in front of your husband?
I can’t rightly be jealous of the gods.
Daydreaming again, priestess?
I should like that our bodies be as the gods’ soon.
For that, we must accomplish enough to be acknowledged by the homeland.
Then, what if…
What if we were to kill all the humans and take over this planet Earth?
That’s good!
How could you say such things?!
Know your place!
M—My, my. Lord Zeus, it is unbecoming of you to eavesdrop.
Or, do you agree with our idea?
What a thing to say! Enough fooling around!
This planet is merely a temporary stronghold in our war.
Your duty is to create an environment in which the gods can rest their bodies in preparation for the next sortie.
To that end, you must govern this place well.
Yet you…
Our humblest apologies.
If you understand, all is well.
He’s so hard-headed.
To a fault.
But he is the commander of this battle.
If we disobey him, it could mean our heads.
In that case, I have a good idea.
You don’t mean…
The rumors are true.
There’ve been talks of replacing him as commander.
That means it could be one of Mykene’s Three Great Gods, equal to Zeus: Lord Hades!
We just have to wait until then.
Th—This place is…
Th—There’s no mistake!
Back then… the one I saw…
It’s Zeus.
The one who was protecting that gate, God amongst the gods.
I saw him too,
on a carving in an underground path on Bardos Island —
the figure of Zeus, fighting alone against the ancient Mykenean gods
to protect the people of Earth.
Exactly.
That was the last day of Mykene.
Damn you!
Die, Zeus!
Got you!
Stop! Stop it, Zeus!
Stop… Stop… Stop harming Mykene!
That fool!
Django!
Okay.
L—Let go!
Unhand me!
I can’t allow Zeus to keep harming Mykene and our gods!
Calm down! Get a hold of yourself.
What?!
This is a memory.
We’re inside Kedra’s memories!
Memories?
That’s right.
It’s showing us its own memories inside the pillar, trying to hide among them.
Look!
Hurry! Medical treatment! Treat them quickly!
Save as many Kedras as possible!
Gorgon! Archduke Gorgon!
The two of you!
The situation! What is the situation?!
As you can see, we’re doing everything we can just to rescue the Kedras from the bodies of the gods.
Then, all we can do is save as many Kedras as we can and send them back to our homeland!
We cannot allow any more of the gods’ combat brains to die in vain.
We cannot forgive that Zeus!
How dare he. How dare he betray us!
We will never forget this grudge!
Th—That’s me! That’s us!
Indeed.
Your old selves, Tristan and Isolde.
And look. That Kedra is hiding among them.
I get it. This way, we can’t tell which one escaped into this place!
But if we know where it is, the rest is easy.
Let’s end it quick and get out of here.
Wait!
Who is that?
A suspicious human!
H—How…
O—Oh, no…
But we’re in a memory!
It seems that pain and injuries are the same as reality.
That means…
If we die in here, we die in reality.
I can’t take it.
There! There’re more!
Oh, no! They found us!
Crap!
Don’t let them escape! They’re Zeus’s spies! Capture them!
Hurry! We’re getting out of here!
What about him?!
If it comes down to it, I’ll put him to peace in one shot.
He’s prepared for it.
Sir! Bring up the rear!
Hurry, Ashura! You’re the only one we can count on in here!
But…
Shut up!
I won’t let you escape.
What?!
G—Garadoubla the Hero!
Th—That guy is…
That’s right.
Garada and Doublas were made out of this one’s corpse.
Dr. Hell split him in two and brought them back so they could live.
What are you talking about?!
You’re Tristan? Or Isolde?
Machine God Garadoubla!
Capture them, please!
There’s an odd one among them!
What’d you say?
Th—That’s—
Me! That’s me!
No, it’s us!
Wh—What’s going on here?
That is you.
Tristan.
And Isolde.
But the two of you are here.
Do you understand?
It’s me. You’re me.
I never… I never thought I would see myself as I once was.
What are you saying?!
Stay away!
N—No…
Don’t you recognize me?!
Look at me! I am the two of you!
Disgusting!
Sir Garadoubla!
Please, take care of them quickly!
Leave it to me!
Next Episode Extinction! The Last Day of Mykene!
Oh, strong one, the true hero...
When the battle is over, for whom will you shed these tears?
The wind is but a fleeting thing. Its direction changes in an instant.
The sky, too, stretches out toward the future right now.
Don’t forget the pain of winning.
Someone has to leave.
Keep the ones you’ve defeated and seen in your memories.
Oh, strong one, the true hero…
Why are you walking, as you’re standing up alone?
The end of the road… Change the world.
