Considered to be [[Trope Codifier|THE granddaddy]] of the [[Super Robot Genre]], ''Mazinger Z'' is the first entry of the ''Mazinger'' trilogy. The first manga version was serialized in ''Shueisha Weekly [[Shonen Jump]]'' from October 1972 to August 1973, and it later continued in ''Kodansha'' TV Magazine from October 1973 to September 1974. In December 1972, the anime version premiered on Fuji Television. The TV series ended September 1, 1974. A second manga series was released alongside the TV show, this one drawn by Gosaku Ota, which started and ended almost at the same time of the TV show.
Line 496:
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Several robotical foes (such like Danchel and Stronger T4) were endowed with weaponized drills. As well, one of the weapons of Mazinger Z are drilling missiles located in its upper arms.
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Whenever Kouji said this sentence you knew he was REAL angry, and someone was going to be summarily trashed in the near future. A good example was in the manga, after he learnt Dr. Hell had created a weapon was able to nullify gravity... and had used one whole city like subject test. Another two memorable instances happened in the ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'' movie (Mazinkaiser vs Great General of Darkness: at the beginning, after Lori and Loru's {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}, and at the end, right before he {{spoiler|absolutely destroys the Mykene empire army}}:
{{quote| '''Kouji:''' Because you... Many people has died... THAT IS UNFORGIVABLE! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}qiZwGqhTP5I\]}}
** This sentence was also used fairly often by Baron Ashura (to Kouji and his friends after being defeated) and Dr. Hell (to Ashura after his servant botched still another operation).
* [[Thou Shall Not Kill]]: Played with. Kouji gets forced to kill an [[Mook|Iron]] [[Cyborg|Mask]] in one of the first chapters of the original manga and he freaks out about it. Later he is wondering, worried, if he is a murderer now. A secondary character reminds him he just was defending himself.
