* [[Large Ham]]: At his worst day he was way hammier than Kouji.

* [[Made of Iron]]: Tetsuya withstood an incredible punishment throughout the series, being wounded and harmed constantly, and still pushing himself beyond his limits and forcing himself to battle even if the pain was tearing him apart.

The other two are in the "[[Mazinkaiser]] vs. the General of Darkness", {{spoiler|with Dr. Morimori's [[Heroic Sacrifice]], and when he finally defeats ALL the Mikene Empire and tearfully screams "My dead friends... I AVENGED YOU ALL!"}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kabuto means "Helmet", and Kouji pilots his machine by attaching the Jet Pilder to its head.

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: He pulls this at the end of the ''[[Mazinger Z|Mazinkaiser]]'' OVA [[Fan Disservice|for seemingly no reason, and despite being a very old man.]]
