Mazinger Z/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** 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.

* [[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 Go Nagai originally made this simply to blow off steam while writing the [[Crapsack World|horribly depressing]] ''[[Devilman]]'' manga and directing the anime.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.
