Fantastic! Ashura of the Sleeping Cocoon!
Bardos Island has set out!
With the fate of the world in the balance, this was the beginning of the final battle for Photonic Power.
Despite being surrounded by this overwhelming fighting force, Dr. Hell’s heart was dark and heavy. That is because…
What’s the matter? Why so melancholy, Dr. Hell?
That voice? Could it be?!
That’s right! It is I, Archduke Gorgon!
Blocken killed you!
Do not underestimate Mykene!
I am immortal.
I told you that I would eventually take Bardos back,
along with Ashura!
What?!
I can see them! I do, indeed, see them —
your final moments.
Curse you! Damned Mykene!
Please be careful!
This is…
Is something the matter, Dr. Hell?
No. It’s nothing.
Are you doing well?
Of course. I am the only one among the Five Great Armies that fights with my own flesh, not using Mechanical Beasts.
I cannot stay bedridden any longer.
I am counting on you.
But I am concerned…
About Ashura.
Yes. He is sleeping deeply.
I wonder what he dreams about.
I am sure it’s fond memories of Mykene.
I am curious where and what Ashura was doing during the time he was missing after escaping that Corinth pillar.
It cannot be helped. He is Mykene.
He betrayed his comrades.
But it took some effort to bring him back.
We’ve found him! We’ve found him!
Get ahead of him! Surround him!
He’s headed toward the peak!
Fire! Fire!
Fall back!
I’ll get him myself if I must!
Don’t think you’ll get away.
Settle down, Ashura.
I am going to infiltrate the Kurogane House and fight there.
Farewell!
I won’t let you!
What?
The Pilder?
Damn you! I won’t let you get away!
What is that?!
They got away.
But you’ll regret saving his life!
What was that?
What’s wrong? Are you all right?!
Ashura, concentrate on recovering.
Hurry and take Ashura to the operating room!
Ashura, this takes me back
to the day I brought you back from the land of the dead.
The day I cut you off from Mykene, when you became my most loyal servant.
The day a rotting man and woman changed and became the one Baron Ashura.
That’s right. I was Mykene!
Before I became what I am now, I was the Mykene priest Tristan and the priestess Isolde!
Shoot! Shoot!
Fall back! Fall back!
Delightful! How delightful!
Did you see how pathetic those humans looked?
The humans of this planet are so very inferior.
Did they think they could defeat Mykene with those weapons?
Don’t make us laugh!
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’ve heard something good.
You don’t mean…
The rumors are true.
There’ve been talks of replacing him as commander.
That means it could be one of our three Great Gods, equal to Zeus: Lord Hades!
But before he arrives, you two must…
Yes.
We know.
I am sorry.
What are you saying? As priest and priestess, it is our duty.
And it is all for Mykene.
We have no hesitations.
Now, go to sleep, along with the gods.
Now, we will return Bardos Island safely to Mykene!
What?!
Weak! So weak!
Zeus, why do you try to protect such inferior lives?!
That voice!
But now that I have come, it is over, Zeus.
Humanity shall be wiped out by my own hand.
You’re Hades!
Damn you!
What a sight you are, Zeus!
Die!
During ancient times,
in the midst of a war between gods over dominion of the universe, a battle occurred on Earth.
This is a story of one who rebelled alone against an order from his home planet to wipe out all of humanity.
And in this battle, he protected humanity. The god of brilliant gold, one of the Three Great Gods of Mykene. His name is Zeus!
Z!
What?!
Now! Let us settle this!
I’d love to!
Rocket Punch!
Damn you. Curse you.
How dare you.
I’ll remember this.
I will sink with Bardos Island,
but I will return to this land with my Seven Armies
as the Emperor of Darkness!
Come, if you will!
I will fight you again!
Thus, the battle ended, and Ashura slept
deep beneath this land,
together with the gods left on Bardos, to drink the sweet wine of victory again.
Sleep, and dream of that day.
The Keep has fallen.
Omiya and Kanichi are crying.
Even the beautiful coast line is gone.
This Atami has certainly changed!
Not that I enjoy saying his lines,
but having no business is a problem.
My, oh my. You’ve really become one of them.
You’re absolutely right.
I never expected Kouji to grow so much.
Right now, it would be easy for him to grab my shoulders.
And thanks to that, he can pilot the Pilder much better now.
I’m sure that Mr. Juuzo is very pleased on the other side.
Now, come, Kouji!
Your destiny was decided once you sat in that pilot seat!
The destiny of an endless fight which is about to begin.
And you will surpass humanity!
Will you become a god or a devil?!
Show me what you will choose!
Now, rise, my life’s greatest work!
Here we go!
Do it!
Pilder On!
It happened in an instant.
Black, hard, strong!
Its majestic, giant fist shattered everything.
At that moment, a dark giant stood.
The enemy, Talos, is surprised.
However, it was too late.
That is because, even without knowing how to pilot it,
Kabuto Kouji’s hidden combative spirit had subconsciously made the giant’s body take a fighting stance.
And that unleashed blow, the ultimate power!
Its name—
Let it fly!
Its name… Its name…
Its name… Its name—
Rocket Punch!
That old man caused quite a ruckus, but it’s good that he left us Z.
My goal was always avenging Tetsuya.
If Kouji couldn’t cut it, then Shiro would do.
I wanted the Kabuto family to settle its own affairs.
Come now. I know you were prepared to get on Mazinger yourself and take out Dr. Hell, even at the cost of your life.
By the time I realized it, I owed Kouji and Shiro.
Please, we’d owe you for life!
For us! Please!
I can’t.
Please, do something!
Ask Professor Yumi to make a robot for us… No, for Boss!
Boss is down because everyone is fighting, but he can’t do anything.
And he keeps working part-time at the Laboratory to buy his own robot one day.
We can’t stand seeing him like that!
So we, his lackeys, are begging you!
But…
I’ll take on that job!
That voice! Inspector Ankokuji, an agent of the nation!
I have an idea about where to get a robot.
Why don’t you leave that up to me?
Really?!
We won’t ask you again!
Boss! We have good news!
Are you sure you want to make a promise like that?
Well, we need you to go and kill Ashura.
Having as many robots as possible will be good.
What? He’s not his “my sweet Gamia” self today?
He’s so easy to read.
Miss Okiku, would you call Kouji?
A change of plan?
Something stinks,
so I thought we should take some precautions.
But…
Everything will be decided on what move Ashura decides to make.
After all, he…
How dare you. How dare you do that to my Mykene!
I won’t forgive you! I won’t!
Vargas!
Breast Fire!
Glossam!
Ghost Fire! Toros D7!
T—Terrible… Mazinger is terrifying!
This is the land where I slept. In that case…
Gods of Mykene! Please forgive my foolish actions!
I will take my own life to atone for them!
My hands… My hands moved on their own!
W—Why? Why?!
Why can I not take my own life?!
Do not cry so,
Ashura.
D—Dr. Hell.
There is another command I put into your body besides the ones that will not allow you to disobey Nishikiori and myself.
As long as I live, you cannot take your own life.
Dr. Hell, you had done such a thing?
You are like my own hands, Ashura. You are my dear subordinate.
Your dear subordinate…
Indeed. I cannot allow you to take your own life.
As proof, behold.
This is Bardos Island’s greatest weapon, which I have created just for you.
Its name is Mechanical Beast Baron Ashura!
Y—You would allow me to have this?!
What joy! What fortune!
I will fight for you for all eternity, Dr. Hell!
Then, go forth! Ashura, Blocken, Pygman!
We will take everything from the Photonic Power Laboratory this time!
