Great Mazinkaiser


 * "Great Mazinger" redirects here. For the second version of the same robot that is piloted by Terry Tsurugi, see Mazin Emperor G.

"“Beyond a great hero, become a great emperor! Great Mazinkaiser!!” —Tetsuya" Great Mazinger (グレートマジンガー) is a Super Robot developed in the Photon Power Laboratory years prior to the events of Shin Gamera, along with the Mazinger Z that was made some time before, during the developing team's disastrous expedition to Bardos Island that resulted in the disappearance of much of the staff and their materials, including the robot and its pilot Tetsuya Tsurugi. It made its first appearance in the movie Taigaia vs. Senryuukaku, along with Tetsuya as a surprise guest appearance.

In the mini-series Daikaiju Future Fight, a thousand years in the future, Great Mazinger was upgraded through the use of the four Black Boxes into the amazingly powerful Great Mazinkaiser, (グレートマジンカイザー) to help the Resistance of Steel in the war to liberate the Earth from the Brain Flayers that have enslaved the world a millennium prior.

Abilities
Great Mazinger has much of the same powers and abilities with its predecessor, Mazinger Z, although when comparing the two, Great is a significant improvement in terms of power, armor material, speed and combat capabilities. It is equipped with four Black Boxes: Regeneration, Absorption, Strengthening and Transformation.

After becoming Great Mazinkaiser, it would prove in battle to be one of the strongest super robots, superior to Mazinkaiser in nearly every aspect, matching with the likes of Raideen and Shin Getter Dragon in sheer raw strength and nearly to that of Mazinger ZERO in its base power.
 * Super Strength – Great Mazinger has the raw strength alone to lift or deal damage to monsters twice its size.
 * Super Durability – The material used for Great Mazinger's armor is Super Alloy New Z, which is four times stronger and lighter than the original Super Alloy Z. Later on, Great Mazinkaiser would be equipped with an even stronger metal, the Super Alloy New Zα.
 * Limited Invulnerability – Its armor makes Great invulnerable to much of conventional weaponry and immune to attacks that make other metals shatter such as ultrasonic waves.
 * Flight – When equipped with the Scrander, Great Mazinger/Mazinkaiser is capable of flight, even in outer space.
 * Super Speed – Slightly faster than the original Mazinger Z, Great can reach top speed of Mach 11 and outmaneuver its enemies through just speed through the Great Booster.

Combination Attacks

 * Double Mazinger Blade (ダブルマジンガーブレード) – Melee combination attack with Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger summons two swords from its legs, giving one of them to Mazinger Z, as the two robot charge at its enemy and slash it apart.
 * Triple Mazinger Blade (トリプルマジンガーブレード) – Combination with Mazinger Z and Grendizer, like with Double Mazinger Blade, Z and Great have two blades whereas Grendizer retreats to the Spacer to fly high up into the air. After Z and Great deals damage to the opponent with the swords, Grendizer would de-attach itself from the Space and fall down to towards the opponent, using the Double Harken to finish it off in one last slash.
 * Double Burning Fire (ダブルバーニングファイヤー) – Ranged combination attack with Mazinger Z, the two robots blast the enemy apart with Breast Fire and Breast Burn simultaneously.
 * Double God Fire (ダブルゴッドファイヤー) – A much more powerful version of the Double Burning Fire, in which Great Mazinkaiser unleashes the Great Blaster together with Mazinger ZERO's super-powered Breast Fire at their enemies.
 * Double Lightning Buster (ダブルライトニングバスター) – A combination attack that merges Great's Thunder Break and Grendizer's Space Thunder to form an even more powerful lightning attack at the enemy.
 * Double Typhoon (ダブルタイフーン) – Combination attack with Igridios, Asuka Koukawa's super robot. Although it could be done also in synchronization with Mazinger Z's Rust Hurricane, it has never been tried.
 * Double God Wind Storm Ruin (双神風嵐破) – A far stronger version, synchronizing Great Mazinkaiser's Great Tornado with the Wind Storm Ruin attack from Fuuranjin, the kaiju form of the future Asuka.
 * Double God Thunder (ダブルゴッドサンダー) – Combination attack with Raijinra, Yukikaze Mizuki's kaiju form, merging the God Thunder and Thor's Hammer: Indignation.
 * Double Magma Blaster (ダブルマグマブラスター) – Similar in function to the Double Burning/God Fire, it combines the Great Blaster with the Super Magma Ignition for Magmaika, the kaiju of Maika Kamimura's future iteration.
 * Double Emperor Blaster (ダブルエンペラーブラスター) – Both Great Mazinkaiser and Mazin Emperor G, which is piloted by Tetsuya's son Terry, fire off their Great Blasters together at their opponent.
 * Final Dynamic Special (ファイナルダイナミックスペシャル) – Great Mazinger's most powerful combination attack, teaming up with Mazinger Z (or Mazinkaiser), Getter Robo (or Getter Dragon or Shin Getter Robo), Grendizer, Jeeg and Gaiking in a simultaneous all-out assault on the enemy. First off, Gaiking and Jeeg would encircle the opponent and attack it with Death Fire and Spin Storm respectively, creating a massive twister of flames that lifts it up. Afterwards, Mazinger, Great and Grendizer would fly up and gather around the twister to fire their Breast Fire (or Fire Blaster in Mazinkaiser's case), Thunder Break and Space Thunder respectively at their enemy. Then, Getter Robo would let out a Getter Beam to deal even more damage. If Shin Getter is involved, the combination attack would continue and finish off with a special Stoner Sunshine, merged with the ranged signature attacks of the other robots, to obliterate the opponent, followed by a massive multi-megaton explosion.
 * Shin Final Dynamic Special (真ファイナルダイナミックスペシャル) – A much more powerful version, this time with each robot's stronger upgrades, Great Mazinkaiser, Mazinger ZERO, Shin Getter Noir, Grendi-Caesar, Steel God Jeeg and Gaiking the Great respectively. The process involved in the combination attack is largely the same as the regular one, but far more powerful and can instantly destroy or at least deal catastrophic damage to entire planets and god-like or cosmic beings.
