Line 6: Boss is the [[Comic Relief]] to some fans. To other fans he is an unsung hero who always helps to the main characters and has nothing for his efforts. Baron Ashura usually was completely loyal to Dr. Hell. But in the [[Gosaku Ota]] episodes he got fed up with Hell punishing his/her failures and Brocken mocking him/her, and he/she decided betraying Hell. * [[Complete Monster]] (Dr. Hell worked for Hitler. Before transforming Count Brocken into a cyborg, he stated he was going to use what he had learnt by experimenting with Jews in Austchwitz. And he grinning while he told it! ~~His lackeys are not quite innocent, either)~~ * [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] (In a meta sense. Go Nagai originally made this simply to blow off steam while writing the [[Crapsack World\|horribly depressing]] ''[[Devilman]]'' manga and directing the anime. Mazinger ''blew'' Devilman out of the water in terms of popularity, which Nagai always had [[Creator Breakdown\|odd feelings]] about.) * [[First Installment Wins]]: ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' has got a lot of sequels (''[[Great Mazinger]]'', ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]''...), alternate series (''[[God Mazinger]]'', ''[[Shin Mazinger Zero]]''...) and reimaginations (''[[Mazinkaiser]]'', ''[[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]''...). Neither of them has got the success, the impact or the popularity enjoyed the original series. Line 14: ** And Dr. Kabuto's manor, where he built Mazinger-Z, was located on the Forest of Aokigahara. Why is that relevant? [[wikipedia:Aokigahara\|Read and get creeped out]]. At least it seems clear why Juuzo chose that place: nobody would try to bother him or spy on him. * [[Memetic Mutation]]: Seeing [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]. * [[~~OT 3~~OT3]]: There are not many fans who do this, but some of them consider Kouji/Sayaka/Maria is a solution to the most important [[Love Triangle]] in the trilogy (nobody seems considering Kouji/Sayaka/Boss or Tetsuya/Jun/Boss, nevertheless. [[Butt Monkey\|Poor Boss]]). ** It is lampshaded in this Super Robot Wars [[Yonkoma]] comic: [https://web.archive.org/web/20070402121808/http://www.dra-mata.com/manga/4koma/old/tsurugi07.jpg\] * [[Values Dissonance]]: The reason why Kouji's [[Stay in the Kitchen\|blatant sexism towards Sayaka]] (and the main reason why she was so [[Tsundere]] for him) had to be toned down as the Mazinsaga continued. It'd be [[Dude, Not Funny\|very NOT funny]] to have him say "girls must not fight and you are stupid for thinking otherwise" in [[Mazinkaiser]], after all. ** In fact, that characterization was more in line with his personality in the original manga.
