Line 57:
* [[Boss Subtitles]]
* [[Bragging Theme Tune]]
* [[Brain In a Jar]]: The [[Body Horror|Kedora]]. [[Ken Ishikawa]] one-shot "The Relic of Evil" revealed that {{spoiler|the Mykene controlled their [[Robeast]] by grafting the brain of a soldier taught to destroy all non-Mykene civilizations into a parasitic organism, and it fused with a robot, giving the Mykene soldier complete control.}} They would show up later in ''[[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]''.
* [[Breath Weapon]]: Great Typhoon. Great Mazinger blows a jet of wind from its mouth grill to blow the enemy away. It is similar to Mazinger's Rust Tornado, but without the rust effect. Many Warbeasts also had breath-based attacks, usually expelling out fire, acid or even poison. One of the seven armies of Mykene [[Empire]] (the Reptilian Warbeasts) specialized in this kind of weapons.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: This is an example where the issue is avoided due to them being adoptive siblings. Tetsuya and Jun were [[Conveniently an Orphan|two orphan kids]] Prof. Kenzo Kabuto adopted. So they technically are family and in fact grew up together. However they are not related by blood at all, so nobody seems minding they are the [[Official Couple]], and the issue is never brought up.
Line 70:
* [[Character Development]] (The characters of ''Mazinger Z ''had only the basics of this, but the ones of ''Great'' get a bit more fleshed out. {{spoiler|I.e: Tetsuya's jealousy of Kouji for being Kenzou's ''true'' son [[Values Dissonance|which make more sense for Japanese viewers than Westerners due to honor and blood line issues]], Jun being a victim of discrimination for being the daughter of a black man and a Japanese woman, Shirou's relationship with Kenzou himself...}} )
* [[Chest Blaster]]: Breast Burn
* [[Classical Mythology]]: It has an increasingly important role in the trilogy. Dr. Hell finding several [[Humongous Mecha]] in the underground mazes of a Greek island has its basis on the Greek legend of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talos\], the giant man of bronze that protected Creta. Gorgon's [[Robeast|Robeasts]] resembled gods, heroes and creatures found in the Greek myths. And in later retellings of the story (Z-Mazinger and [[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]), Mazinger-Z turns out to be {{spoiler|Zeus}} and Emperor of Darkness becomes {{spoiler|Hades.}}
* [[Climactic Volcano Backdrop]]: One battle between Great Mazinger and Marquis Janus took place in Janus' [[Volcano Lair]] (in [[Gosaku Ota]] manga). As Tetsuya battled Janus and her troops, the volcano erupted and vomited lava, rocks and cinders, walls crumbled down and the place collapsed around them.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: Jun Hono suffered from this more often than Sayaka (much to her disliking).
