As requested by my Tier 3 Patrons! This time just the one.
I've never watched too much Mazinger actually, but am familiar enough with some of its ideas. From what I gather Tetsuya apparently is the prototype for Asuka Langley, which is pretty funny. I wonder what instigated some of those Showa era scifi helmets having funky shapes to them. Mazingers, Ultraman's Defense Teams post-Return of Ultraman, whatever given new alien faction in shows up in Godzilla films etc.
