Line 87:
* [[Baka]]: Sayaka calls this to Kouji when he gets her angry... which happens often.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: In a story of the [[Gosaku Ota]] episodes, a race of giant, man-eater, fish-alike, humanoid [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] from another dimension named Chip Kamoy tried to invade Earth. They kidnapped a normal human girl and transformed her into a mermaid-like being to communicate with humans. Later they trapped [[The Hero]] Kouji Kabuto and she helped him to escape. In punishment {{spoiler|she got executed by the Chip Kamoy.}}
* [[Banned in China]]: [[Mazinger Z]] was aired in Philippines and right like many other mecha shows, it was ordered off the air by Ferdinand Marcos. The series also started being broadcast in Spain in 1978, gaining instant and overwhelming success, but it was pulled off at January from 1979 due to complains regarding violence and other questionable content. Only thirty-three random episodes had been dubbed -- and one of them never was emitted -- and Spanish fans had to wait to 1993 to watch the series aired again.
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Kouji and Boss (when they were not fighting), Kouji and [[Great Mazinger|Tetsuya]] (when they were not arguing) and Kouji and [[UFO Robo Grendizer|Duke]].
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Kouji used several throughout the whole trilogy, often mixing them with [[Crazy Enough to Work]]. For example, in one chapter a Mechanical Beast -Kirma K5- sliced a chunk of one Mazinger-Z's wing during an aerial battle. Kouji could not balance his [[Humongous Mecha]] and he fell towards the ground. Then he ''goaded'' Kirma into attacking him again, and positioned Mazinger so his foe's [[Sinister Scythe]] sliced a chunk of the another wing. Now the Mazinger wings were the same length again, and his enemy was nearby, he could balance Mazinger back and grab Kirma. As he was beating the crap out of the [[Robeast]] he gloated it should have let him drop.
