Mazinkaiser vs. Great General of Darkness -マジンカイザー 死闘! 暗黒大将軍 (2003)

Discotek Media Blu-ray 2023

I've waited 20 years to get this on physical media. That's a long time to wait. My old fansub has served me very well, but it's finally time to retire it.

Did find some excellent Boss on the sideblog I haven't seen in a hot minute.

Also soft Tetsuya.

I had another mispronunciation oopsie a few years since my first one.

I accidentally said Blorbot instead of Boss Borot.

[bass-borot]

If you were an MGS character would your name be Big Boss-Borot? :3c

I'd have competition there, but hmmm.

[shin-hero-buster]

y'know, the Gogg kinda looks like Boss Borot

[over-the-time-flow]

Edwin apologizes for keeping the crowd waiting; he then reminds us all of the unprecedented crisis facing the Earth as of now, but then hypes the crowd up by saying that it is nothing to fear, as long as our steel heroes are here to protect us!

"The steel maiden, Diana A, and Sayaka Yumi!"

"The fullmetal goddess, Venus A, and Jun Honoo!"

Edwin then works in some audience participation!

"Next up is everybody's favorite, the king of laughter! What's the name of Boss' wacky robot?"

The kids all shout "Boss Borot!!", and then, as if summoned,

Boss: "Dun dun duuuuun!!! Thank you for waiting, good boys & girls of the world! Boss Borot has arrived!"

Sayaka and Jun can't help but notice his enthusiasm, and Sayaka has to remind Boss not to get too carried away, or he might make the Borot fall over!

"Finally, the robots of justice who protect the world from the wicked Mycenaean Empire! The sky-soaring fortress of steel, and the hero of the skies!! Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger!!!"

Koji: "Guys, those Mycenaean stooges won't get their way as long as i'm around!"

Edwin tries to introduce Tetsuya as well, and the crowd IS excited to have him, but... he's a bit too awkward to know what to say in a situation like this, even with Koji nudging him.

Edwin goes into scheming mode, whispering to himself about how swimmingly the plan has gone so far, and how he's going to turn all these civilians into Soldiers, but...

Great General of Darkness: "A parade, huh? I'll show you all what happens when you side with the Science Fortress Institute!"

Edwin freaks out over the unexpected appearance of the Mycenaeans edwin my brother this was about as unexpected as finding a fork in a kitchen what were you thinking, as the Mazinger Team gets to work on helping the citizens evacuate the premises. But as Tetsuya protects a little girl...

The girl manages to get rescued by the GEAR crew, but Tetsuya gets hit once more!

Staying true to the show but also subverting the expectations of Great Mazinger fans in the audience, Tetsuya is out of commission, but he did not pass out like he does every episode! Rather, the Great Mazinger simply can't move. Yet again, Banpresto shows masterful knowledge of the source material.

He'll stay here at 10 HP, unable to move, but if an enemy comes close enough he can actually attack them with no issues. You're forced to assume that the Great must have specifically gotten hit in the legs or something.

In her signature motorcycle, Vega rides out to try and help even the odds. She explains all the civilians are now safe, and that she isn't their only reinforcement!

That's us!

The Great General is frustrated at having even more of us to deal with, but it's no matter; he'll rout us all the same. And Kouji says that's our line!

NEXT WEEK: GAMEPLAY!!
