This is one show I am very sorry that it
was never dubbed in English nor Arabic. A great improvement over
Mazinger Z with very nice extentions and crosses of the old popular show.
Too bad, more to the original Japanese dubbing, it was dubbed to Spanish and
Italian, of course this is great to Spanish an Italian speakers.
The story centers on Tetsuya
Tsurugi (剣
鉄也 ,Tsurugi
Tetsuya), an orphan raised by none other than Kenzo Kabuto
(兜
剣造 ,Kabuto
Kenzō), the once thought dead father of Mazinger Z pilot
Kouji Kabuto. Kenzo Kabuto is the creator of the new, improved version of
Mazinger, made by refining his father's Chogokin Z (Super Alloy Z) into a
new, stronger form, designed to fight
against humanity's new enemy, the Mikenese Empire, led by the Great
General of Darkness and his army of Warrior Beasts. Kenzo gives the Great
Mazinger to Tetsuya to pilot, who is accompanied by a new token girl, Jun
Hono (an orphaned half Japanese, half black girl), in her female robot Venus
A.
Both Great Mazinger's and
Tetsuya's training are completed just in time to come to Kouji's aid as the
Mycene Battle Beasts overwhelm Mazinger Z. With the original Mazinger
destroyed, Kouji went to America to study space travel and left Japan's
defense in the hands of Tetsuya and the Fortress of Science. Tetsuya battles
the Mycene Battle Beasts and even their mighty generals,
cumulating in a bitter final battle with the Mycene's military leader,
Ankoku Daishogun (Great General of Darkness). After the Great General of
Darkness' defeat, the Mycene forces are led by Doctor Hell, the villain from
Mazinger Z, back under the guise of the Great Marshall of Hell.
The series also includes some cast members
the original Mazinger Z show, like Shiro
Kabuto (Koji's little
brother), and comic-relief robot Boss Borot. The series was not as
successful in Japan as the original, and it was never shown in the United
States. It was however shown unedited and in its entirety, like Mazinger Z,
in Italy, Mexico and some other Latin American countries with great success,
and occasionally footage from Great Mazinger's sole appearance in the final
episode of Mazinger Z would be shown in Tranzor Z.
Great Mazinger was also the star of the
short theatrical "team-up movies" features released in Japan like Great
Mazinger versus Grendizer, Great Mazinger versus Getter Robo G,
etc., based on anime crossovers of the manga creations of Go Nagai.
