{{cleanup|The headers are a confused, disorganized mess with some duplications.}}
This is a page about the characters appearing in the [[Manga]] turned [[Anime]] [[Mazinger Z]]. Just as a warning, this page probably contains spoilers.
Line 139 ⟶ 140:
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Though [[Dumbass Has a Point|he did have good points from time to time]], and sometimes was more mature than ''Kouji'' himself.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: He could make some impressive feats when he wanted or needed. {{spoiler|Once, the Professors Morimori, Sewashi and Nossori had been brainwashed by Baron Ashura to help him. Shiro beat the crap out of them. Agreed, they were brainwashed and they were older men; still, it was one single child against three adult men}}
* [[Iron Woobie]] : His
** And have we mentioned in an early ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' episode he complains his older brother -his only living relative left as far as he knew- did not write him letters? Yes, definitely it sucks to be him.
* [[Mouthy Kid]]
Line 169 ⟶ 170:
** In Neo Super Robot Wars (not to be confused with [[Super Robot Wars NEO]]) Boss Borot gets a spacesuit of sorts and the moniker Super Boss Borot to get around this. Boss Borot is also not usable in space at all in some of the classic SRW games, usually dealt with by removing it from your party for space levels rather than disallowing it.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]] : Surprisingly, he does. It is [[Played for Laughs]] most of the time, but there's just too many situations that if he had not helped Koji, he would be done for.
** Maybe the best
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Often he was the target of many jokes and laughs.
* [[Comic Relief]]: He even lampshades it in a ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' episode, whining about why he has to be the comedian.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Boss is the [[Butt Monkey]], [[Hopeless Suitor]] and [[Comic Relief]] [[Gonk]] character. He is mocked and
* [[Delinquents]]
* [[Dub Name Change]]: To Bobo in Tranzor Z
Line 201 ⟶ 202:
** In the ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'' movie, he pretty much saved the world (which at that point is a [[Crapsack World]]). The Mycene's plan to send one of their general to attack Koji while he is out of Mazinkaiser is completely foiled because Boss attacked the general [[Irony|with Boss Borot]].
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: In Venus A first battle he got in the way of Jun several times. In one of them he stated "Girls must not fight". The ironic -and frustrating- part is he intervened right when Jun was gaining the upper hand, and because him, she could was unable to defeat the Warrior Beast.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Sometimes he showed this trait. To be fair, so did Kouji.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Boss often ends his words with "Da wa sa". He discards it in the Mazinkaiser OVA, da wa sa.
Line 377 ⟶ 378:
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Taking You with Me]]: {{spoiler|He died when he attempted to crash [[Cool Airship|Guru –Brocken’s flying fortress-]] into the Institute to kill all of his/her enemies.}}
* [[
* [[Together in Death]]: Hell found the bodies of a man and his lover who had been [[Buried Alive]] together for being caught trying to break their [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] destinies. One half of each body was destroyed, so he stitched them together to create Ashura.
** In [[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]], the two halves of Baron Ashura are actually {{spoiler|[[Tristan and Iseult|Tristan and Isolde]]}}.
Line 433 ⟶ 434:
* [[Co-Dragons]]: With Ashura {{spoiler|until his/her death}}, Brocken and Pygman. However he never treated them like equals.
* [[Dragon with an Agenda]]
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Called Genghis the Ghastly in ''Tranzor Z''.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: He manipulated everyone in the series to achieve his goals.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Both [[Medusa|his original name]] ''and'' [[Genghis Khan|dub name]] qualify.
* [[Spanner in the Works]]: His master plan almost fully succeeded, but he could not {{spoiler|getting all of his enemies killed because he did not knew about Kenzo Kabuto and Great Mazinger. That faulty intelligence brought about the defeat of the Mykene Empire.}}
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: His plan was {{spoiler|pitting Mazinger Z against Dr. Hell, expecting they destroyed each other or the survivor was so weakened that it would be easy destroying him/her. He could not lose, not matter what happened, and he almost succeeded.}}
Line 471 ⟶ 474:
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]]. The Iron Masks’ swords had a magnet embedded into the blade that produced high-frequency vibrations letting them easily cut rocks and metal.
* [[
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Averted. They came back exactly like Dr. Hell wanted them: mindless and obedient. However, given that they are mostly useless due to their mindlessness, maybe the trope is averted after all. that, or [[Gone Horribly Wrong|it was horribly right]].
* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: Send one dozen of fully armed and geared against Kouji and he will wipe the floor with them.
