NEXT EPISODE: THE HERO OF THE SKIES, GREAT MAZINGER The robot brought out to fight against the Grand Dark General's Seven Armies, Great Mazinger! The one who pilots it, Tetsuya Tsurugi! The one who helps Tetsuya out and pilots Venus A, Jun Honoo! Fighting against the Seven Armies, how will Great Mazinger handle them!? Next episode: The Hero of the Skies, Great Mazinger. Don't miss it! Title: THE HERO OF THE SKIES, GREAT MAZINGER It's reckless! No matter what you do, going out in this kind of storm... She's right! It's dangerous, Chief! Tetsuya-kun, what do you think? Huh? Hey, Tetsuya-san, the Chief wants to start training with Great right now! Just what I've been waiting for. If I was afraid to go out in a storm, you think I could seriously fight? Exactly. We don't know when or where the Mycenae Battle Beasts could strike. Besides which, if we were to conduct training while the sun was out... That's right. Alright, commence training! All staff, to your stations! Starting the engine! No problems with the engine, no problems with the mech. Great Mazinger's preparations are complete. Brain Condor's good to go for launch! Alright, commence the test flight. Brain Condor, Switch On! MAZIN GO! FIRE ON! SCRAMBLE DASH! Tetsuya-kun, what's your status? All good over here. Man, it's gotten so lonely around here. With Sayaka and Kouji gone, I can't argue with anybody. Boss, instead of moping around there, why not help with the testing? Shaddup, leave me alone. Uh? What the!? Boss! You okay? THAT BASTARD! Tetsuya-kun, ascend to 50,000 meters. Roger. 30,000 and climbing. 35,000. Chief! There's some turbulence. 40,000. 42,000. I've reached 50,000. It's at the limit.' Alright, return to the ground. Roger! It's dangerous, stop him! STOP! Ah, Chief! Tetsuya-kun, are you all right? Just fine. The flight was a success. I see. How about Tetsuya's physical condition? Sir, no confirmed abnormalities in his external body or internal organs. Going as high as 50,000 meters so rapidly with no problems, he has the tough body of a real man. Yes, it's thanks to that invulnerable body that he's able to pilot Great Mazinger. Tetsuya-kun, today's training is over. Return to base. Roger. Grand Dark General. Grand Dark General! Yes, sir? Have you confirmed the identity of the robot replacing Mazinger Z? I have yet to receive any contact from the ones in charge of our spies gathering information on the surface, Minister Argos and Duke Gorgon. What are those two doing? They're currently sending spies to investigate. They've taken too long to deliver their report. Launch the mobile fortress Myceros and begin the conquest of the Earth's surface immediately. Yes sir! State the names of the Battle Beasts that will henceforth be the first step of our attack on the Earth's surface. This is the foremost of the Mammal Army, Balbary. Battle Beast BALBARY Enough! I've gotten a glompse of his strength. NEXT! This is among the most violent of the Avian Army, Oberius. Battle Beast OBERIUS Very well. Launch the mobile fortress Myceros! The Grand Dark General has already launched the mobile fortress Myceros. At this rate, we need to get new information soon. Minister Argos, the superior spies and others under my command should certainly be able to ascertain the location of the new robot. Damn it, they think I'll just sit there and lose to Tetsuya Tsurugi!? Screw that, the Boss Borot will take to the skies and protect world peace! Then they'll all take me seriously! Can it really fly? I bet it can't. Me too! Playing around with dangerous rockets, Boss'll be the first to go! What're you saying!? Hurry up and light it! Aye-aye, we're doing it now, Boss! We're just lighting it like fireworks. You'd think he'd come up with a more scientific way to---AIEE! What's wrong!? Crap, run for it! Whoops, I've still gotta set a destination. Uh, here, and here, and... Electricity, let's see... It's flying! The Borot has finally conquered the skies! Now the world is mine! No fair cutting me off! The enemy could cut you off at any time. That may be true, but! Okay, how about that wave there. I'll ride the top, and you can go underneath, Jun. Fine! Alright, let's go! Okay! You're hopeless... It hurts. Hey, you okay? I think I twisted my ankle. You can't pilot a robot like that. Instead of working at a lab, staying at home and cooking would suit you much-- What did you say!? Er? Why-- you tricked me! Hey, hold it! I won't take it easy on you anymore. Go easy on me, please! Be gentle! Come on! It's the Borot! That's a surprise. LOOK OUT BELOW! Move! What's that, you say you've located a robot that flies in the sky? I got the report straight from my spies. Duke Gorgon, head to the surface and confirm it with your own eyes! Go! Yes sir! Hey, how long are you gonna stew in that thing? Just what did we ever do to you? Were you trying to kill us!? You say that, but... Oh, yer lookin' pretty sharp, Sis! Sis!? I'm Jun Honoo! Hotter than Sayaka! Bouncier than Sayaka! A body way more charming than Sayaka's could ever hope to... Excuse you. Don't be like that. I was charmed by your good looks, I couldn't help myself! Hey, Boss. You'll never get anywhere hitting on girls like that. What!? Boss, take a look at your own face. You think women would fall for THAT? Damnit, how dare you laugh at my one weakness! I'll show you! You bastard, pulling a cheap stunt... Besides which, your whole frame is as big and round the Borot's. In short, you look like an idiot. Damnit, I won't hold back anymore! HEY YOU! Bro's hopeless. Both of you, return to base at once. Chief, did something happen? What's the status on the unit we spotted? It's closing in steadily. It could very well be a Mycenae Battle Beast. Continue monitoring. Pathetic. That sunnova bitch, next time I'll--- Moron! Watch where you put that! Boss, just let it go, he left you alone. Yeah, and there's a big skill difference too. SHADDUP! Still, Jun's one fine woman. I think I've really fallen in love. There's no getting through to him, huh. HEEELP! HOLD IT! So you've come out, you overgrown gorilla! Shiro! That's the one. IDIOT! That's the Borot, you fool! Borot! Where is Mazinger Z's new replacement robot!? I wouldn't tell you even if you killed me! Is that so. Balbary, eat that child alive! Shiro... Zoom the camera further up! Give me a close-up of the Battle Beasts's head! Help me! Shiro... Help meee! Shiro... Shiro... Chief! Hang in there, Chief! Chief, the Mycenae Battle Beasts have appeared!? Tetsuya-kun, could you launch Great Mazinger for me? If I were to do that, our location would be... I'm begging you, I'll talk, so just wait a minute! Don't talk, Boss! Don't tell them! Shiro... Shiro! Chief... What connection does Shiro Kabuto have to you? I'll tell you both in due time, but right now... Where are you going? Isn't it obvious? I'm launching Great Mazinger. I've got warm blood running through me too, you know. You think I could just sit back and watch some kid get killed? Then I'll take the Autobike. You think I'll lose to you? Is that a challenge? Tetsuya-kun, one moment. I'll go out ahead! Okay... I'll borrow this one for a bit. Eh? The Fortified Research Institute can sink? Yes, in order to keep the Mycenae from identifying it. Listen, while the lab is underwater, we won't know where Great Mazinger will surface from. Docking with it would be terribly risky. If I were afraid of risk, I wouldn't be able to do anything. Alright. All personnel, begin preparations! Begin preparations! Ignore him! Balbary, devour that punk! You bastard! Damnit, Oberius! Jerk, what do you think you're doing to Jun!? Hot-- hot, hot! H-h-help me please! Prepare the Fortified Research Institute for submergement. Prepare for submergement. Brain Condor, lift off! Commence submergement. Commence submergement. HELP MEE! Oberius! Tear the Borot apart! The new Mazinger will be sure to launch soon! Damned Mycenae Battle Beasts... pulling stunts like that! I'll show you the real thing soon enough. Just you wait! MAZIN GO! Whoops! FIRE ON! SCRAMBLE DASH! So it finally emerged! You made a mistake picking on the Borot. Great Mazinger'll take care of you in a sec, just wait. OW! Great Mazinger is made from a New Super-Alloy. You really think that would be enough to tear it apart!? What's wrong, getting cold feet fighting a Battle Beast... Am I underestimating myself? Or am I too overconfident? That's it... I can't treat this like training or practice. You think this is enough to do me in!? Let's go! GREAT BOOMERANG! THUNDER BREAK! MAZINGER BLADE! Damn you, Great Mazinger! If it comes to this, the mobile fortress Myceros will take care of you! MYCEROS, LIFT OFF! Wh, what the hell is that monster? Damn, it's huge. Chief, give me some idea of how to fight this monster! Tell me, quick! Tetsuya-kun, get under the beams. Try attacking from beneath it. ATOMIC PUNCH! GREAT BOOMERANG! WAIT! Tetsuya-kun, the enemy could be trying to lead you into a trap. Cease pursuit. Next time, I won't be so easy on you. Well? How's Shiro's condition? They wouldn't allow visitors. It's that bad!? Maybe he could be dying. YOU STUPID BASTARD! If Shiro died, I wouldn't be able to live with myself! What am I doing here? Boss risked his life to save you. He's got some good points in him too. So what happened to Boss? He couldn't have died... He's not the kind of guy you can kill like that. Great Mazinger. I want you all to engrave that name deep within your minds. Great Mazinger. That is our enemy. Great Mazinger! Even if it takes the entire Mycenae Army, it must be taken down! Yeah! Defeat Great Mazinger! Defeat Great Mazinger! Defeat Great Mazinger! Defeat Great Mazinger! NEXT EPISODE: HELL'S MESSENGER!! THE INSTIGATOR OF DARKNESS, GARALYA One day, the Instigator of Darkness, Garalya, suddenly escapes from the Grand Dark General's holding prison and goes on a violent rampage throughout Japan. But, its real goal is to take out Great Mazinger and occupy the Fortified Research Institute. Look out, Great! Next time, on Great Mazinger: The Instigator of Darkness, Garalya. Don't miss it!
