THE TEXAS PHOTON POWER PLANT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Second group incoming at 10 o'clock.

Unknown enemy forces are infiltrating the plant facility.

They look like...

“Kikaiju?!

Reinforcements will arrive at precisely 20:00.

Until they do,

all units will defend the Central Photon Power Reactor to the last man!

Scramble Dash!

Where the hell were all you bastards hiding?

Still, you'll have to get through Great Mazinger and Tetsuya Tsurugi!

SIX MONTHS EARLIER- CONSTRUCTION SITE FOR THE NEVV FUJI PHOTON POVVER PLANT AND LABORATORY

Construction phase three, Area B, rock blasting complete.

Roger that. Continuing work.

You okay?

Yeah...

What the hell is that?

What is that in there?

Looks like. . .a face?

Hey, check it out.

Isn't that Koji Kabuto?

Wow, I've never seen him in person.

I hear he finished a three-month survey

of underwater ruins in a month.

Tetsuya Tsurugi, Great Mazinger's pilot,

remained a civilian employee of the army,

but Koji left and became a scientist, right?

Thank you for coming, Koji.

Up ahead it's level S classified.

Partially lift the barrier.

Only members of the Proton Power Lab family are allowed past this point.

By orders of Ms. Sayaka- I mean, the new director...

I see.

A Mazin so big, Mazinger Z could be the pilot.

What's that light?

Life form detected inside!

A life form?

Right here, huh?

Goragon...

Get the medical team here!

And...

Raise the classification level to Triple S.

Thank you...

for riding the Shin Fuji Science City Belt Line today.

Photon power, known as "mankind's final energy source,"

is completely non-polluting with limitless applications.

The Photon Power Network, the energy source's infrastructure,

uses photon power to supply electricity

and communication services to support our daily lives.

The Fuji Plant you see before you is the main facility

that not only generates power,

but also manages and maintains the network.

Even during its current trial stage,

the maximum output when converted to electricity is 22 million gigawatts.

"NO" TO PHOTON PLANT CONSTRUCTION RESIST PHOTON POWER!

In the battles up to now...

Where's Tetsuya today?

Working. His project in the U.S. got extended a week.

Dang! I thought we were gonna hang out!

Tetsuya's been wanting to see you too, Shiro.

Really?

Yeah.

The driving force behind that

was Japan's photon power lab, which took the lead and

GENNOSUKE YUMI, PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN AT THE NEW UNITED NATIONS

available to the leaders of the new nations was instrumental

in resolving many international issues.

With only traditional energy sources

the world would likely not have recovered so quickly.

Right now, it is safe to say that

we live in the most peaceful age since the dawn of history.

In five minutes, we will be arriving

at the New Photon Power Research Center Station.

Please make sure you have all your belongings with you.

That reminds me. I hear the old Photon Power Lab

is getting demolished soon.

It's for the best.

We're better off without the remembrances of war.

Let's at least call it a symbol of peace.

After all, Mazinger's on display at the museum, right?

WELCOME TO THE NEW PHOTON POWER RESEARCH LABORATORY

Shiro! Jun!

Over here.

Sayaka!

It's been so long!

From the look of it, you're almost there!

Can I touch it?

Yeah.

It moved!

Has it been three years? Since your wedding, right?

Yes, thanks again for coming.

Don't mention it.

How's Tetsuya doing?

Depressed. He found a gray hair the other day.

Inspection complete.

Compare with the target mode decision tree.

A 99.9996% match.

Copy the difference.

Roger.

Koji...

The Director is downstairs with Shiro and Jun.

Okay. . -

Lisa, let's take a break.

Okay.

It's frickin' ginormous!

A newly excavated Mazin?!

It's just amazing. Look at this thing...

Hi, big guy...

Is something wrong?

Well actually...

Did you have a fight with Koji or something?

It's more like-

You two should hurry up and make it official already.

What? Break up with him?

Keep your voice down!

Why? Is something going on?

Oh. . .in other words, nothing is going on.

Yeah, Koji is definitely your typical oblivious brute

when it comes to stuff like that...

So it's not like I don't understand where you're coming from...

Father tells me if Koji has no intentions, then I should move on.

Well, I guess...

If you want an arranged marriage, I'm sure that can happen easily.

Thanks for coming all the way here, guys!

He)', big bro!

Hm?

Nice to meet you.

I'm delighted to meet friends of my master's.

M-Master?

He's not!

Sorry? Is "Master" the wrong word?

I thought that's what you call someone you belong to.

Well, yes, but not in this case!

It's not as if you're his slave or something!

I told you, we're past that day and age.

In Mycenaean, it's "mistol."

In English, it's "master."

Etymologically, similar to Mister.

But he's not your "Master," or your "Mister," for that matter!

Come on, don't get so mad, Sayaka.

You look like you don't mind at all!

Um. . .who is the young lady?

Right, let me introduce her.

This is Lisa, the control unit for the new Mazin.

Large Intelligence System Agent, or L.l.S.A. for short!

Nice to meet you!

What's that? A control unit?

She's what we understand to be a humanoid computer.

Like the auxiliary combat Al in the lchinana models.

Oh yeah, that nagging thing.

Simply put, she's an evolved form of that.

With her enormous computing capacity,

she serves as an interface between human and machine.

A product of ancient Mycenae's superior technology

that cannot be replicated, even with the secrets we've learned.

Beautiful...

Although I'm not sure this is the way I'd go about it.

So you're not human, huh?

But I'm not a machine either.

91% of my body is made of biologic material!

When I discovered her,

her system was still in its preliminary stages

and apparently, it registered me as the administrator.

The fact of the matter is, without her cooperation

our technology alone could never access the giant Mazin.

The Mazin...

Analysis of even its basic structure,

has allowed discoveries that will advance our understanding at least 100 years.

Amazing.

There is no doubt that it is a completely immeasurable being.

That is why we call it by the name...

Mazinger Infinity.

A limitless Mazin.

Yeah, but...

This area has a lot of tectonic movement, right?

Why would an ancient Mycenaean ruin be buried under Mt. Fuji?

- Why indeed? - Hey, hold on...

Has it really been here since ancient times?

Maybe it hasn't.

What do you mean?

I've come up with one hypothesis.

Shiro, do you know what an adjacent dimension is?

Adjacent dimension?

A space that exists right next to the substantial space we inhabit...

Yet one that is unknowable to us, created with different physics.

An undiscovered world where ordinary concepts do not apply.

When energy as strong as photon power accumulates,

the boundary between substantial space

and the adjacent dimension becomes slightly unstable.

By applying this phenomenon,

it's possible to convert energy into matter.

In theory, it'd be possible for something like teleportation to take place.

So you're saying that the vast amount of photon power produced by the Fuji Plant

brought this flying in from Mycenae?

Yes, perhaps.

It's hypothesis built on hypothesis. Don't take him seriously.

The theory is comically absurd.

Yeah. I'm totally lost.

W-What?

Just thinking. You even look like a research scientist now, Koji.

Really?

Don't you think it's about time you did something about Sayaka?

I thought an almost imaginary Mazin should be called "lmazinger," but-

Rejected. Puns are the lowest.

Oh, no! Puns need sophisticated...

I know it's none of my business,

but you're not getting any younger.

There are no rehearsals in life, you know.

I understand that, it's just...

But if it's originally from Mycenae...

And what's with the "I'm just a confused teenager" face?

You're the hero who saved the whole world, aren't you?

Hello? Okay...

No!

What's wrong?

An hour ago, the photon plant in Texas was attacked!

Attacked? By whom?

Kikaiju...

But that's...

Fortunately the photon power reactor was not seriously damaged.

But Tetsuya was piloting Great, and now...

...he's missing.

Tetsuya?!

What the hell happened?

What on earth?!

The Iron Cross Corps?!

You bastards!

Ah, luck is with us today!

If it isn't Koji Kabuto.

It was a good idea for Baron Ashura and I to divide forces, after all.

Count... Bracken?!

But you're supposed to be dead!

"Supposed to be dead"?

I died a long time ago, my sweet.

Ah, but I take it you've never died before, eh?

Of course not!

Well, that's a shame.

But you needn't worry.

In fact, I'm about to rectify that oversight right now.

Kill them!

Enough!

What the-?!

What the hell are you? You're no ordinary human.

Are you a Gamia Q clone or something?

Please don't be insulting. I'm an original!

Did I buy enough time?

- Plenty. - Okay!

Look. Over there...

Kikaiju...

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goraggn!

Goragon comes!

It comes!

Power output from the Photon Network has further dropped 7 points.

Increase the usage limits on nongovernmental providers.

Maintaining the lifeline is the top priority.

Increase the power output in Tomakomai and Sekigahara to 102%.

That will exceed the thresholds.

I am involved with the construction

of every photon reactor from the design stage.

Spec-wise, there should be no problems.

Incoming call from the prime minister.

Oh, Sayaka. Are you okay?

I appreciate your concern, but Mr. Prime Minister!

Your office is disseminating information far too slowly!

As it is, we are the ones providing updates to the local authorities.

Well, your... assistance is appreciated.

We just finished an emergency Security Council meeting.

The attacks on both the Texas and Fuji Plants have been identified

as acts of terrorism by remnants of Dr. Hell's forces.

Remnants?

Correct.

The purpose of these strikes

is to throw mankind into total confusion once again.

Wait, that simply isn't possible.

After the final battle, we scoured the planet looking for them!

Right now, we must concentrate on a realistic plan of action.

In ten days, we will carry out a military operation

to recapture the Fuji Plant by force.

Such being the case,

I am requesting Koji participate in the operation.

What are you saying?

He's a scientist now, you know!

What do you want with someone who is no longer on active duty?

I understand the situation.

But with Tetsuya missing,

K0ji's presence will boost morale among-

So you're using him as propaganda, betting his popularity

will quiet those opposed to your reckless strategy, right?

No, no at all...

Father!

This is a research facility that seeks to use photon power for peaceful purposes.

An employee joining a military operation

as a soldier is unacceptable!

It's true that, thanks to photon power, economic recovery is complete.

However, the scars left in people's hearts have yet to heal.

What we need is plain and simple hope.

How much longer must he carry the world on his shoulders?

This is not an order.

It is a strong request from the Japanese government.

I look forward to hearing a pragmatic response.

He has fought enough...

He saved the world and mankind from extinction.

What more can you ask of him?

I'm sorry. Please try to understand.

Open ports 1 through 8.

Initiate Turing on the auxiliary Al.

Switch photon power from idle to alpha mode.

This is your first operation in years.

How much are you looking forward to victory?

I'll work hard to not let anyone down!

...is what I'd love to tell you, but the truth is

I just hope I don't get in the way of the younger guys.

It's time to start the photo shoot! Ladies, you're on!

- Full of spirit! - Full of spirit!

- We're the guardian angels - We're the guardian angels

- of those who fight! - of those who fight!

- The idols of the Joint Forces, - The idols of the Joint Forces,

- The Mazin Girls! - The Mazin Girls!

Look to the right please.

Now to the left.

As you're all aware...

The famed hero Koji Kabuto is joining us especially for this battle.

Thanks to him, all of us here...

were able to survive the last battle.

And now, it is a huge honor for us

to be able to fight alongside him for the sake of humanity.

On behalf of all our personnel, I'd like to express our gratitude.

Thank you!

Deploy the photon power barrier.

Deploying-

Trajectory clear.

Clear!

Third lchinana company, ready for take-off.

Ready for take-off!

Third company, let's give 'em Hell!

* Right! * Right!

Launch!

Third Company, Fourth Company, Fifth Company...

all crafts ready for ballistic launch.

- Launch! - Launch!

Enemy incoming!

Fire!

Our forces have entered the enemy occupation zone.

Ichinana brigade now entering capsule jettison area.

All crafts, purge capsules.

* Purge! * Purge!

It's begun.

With Master taking part in the battle,

it will progress in our favor?

I fail to understand the rationale.

You're against it?

I'm not against it. I just think it's pointless.

Yes, he's supposed to stay in the rear.

I'm sure the men on the ground would take issue

with a retired serviceman throwing his weight around

up on the front line.

Ms. Sayaka?

There's nothing I can do.

There are those who are jealous of us.

Our laboratory is asked to release all our research findings to the public

in exchange for the huge budget we receive.

But now, with photon power technology advancing throughout the world,

people are questioning the need for this laboratory.

Even so, due to our philosophy of using photon power for peace,

we need to stay on the forefront of the research.

Because if someone were to use photon power for evil,

we'd be the only means of stopping them.

And for that reason, you're willing to send Master to battle?

Is that truly what you want?

Protecting freedom can be quite an inconvenience at times.

Are you sure about that?!

Now, now. For a machine,

you can be quite impertinent.

If the battle goes as planned, there should be no problem.

Please, stop calling me a machine!

Third Company has reached the outer ring of the Fuji Plant.

Now breaking through the parfition wall.

Eliminate all kikaiju.

- Clear! - Clear!

Charge set.

Roger.

All units, take cover.

DETONATE

Partition wall penetrated.

Third Company now entering Infinity research zone.

Goragon...

W- Wait...

Shiro, what is it?

Infinity's gone. But something that big...

In the sky above Mt. Fuji,

we're reading a sudden drop in air pressure.

Compared to average local air pressure,

pressure has dropped to 80%.

75%, 70%... It keeps dropping!

That's...

Focus all available sensors on the eye of the storm!

Roger!

Cherenkov radiation?!

Display all gravitational variability in real time!

On it.

How could this be?

Time has stopped. . .?

Impossible!

Could his adjacent dimension theory have been correct?

Goragon?

If he who controls this power...

deems his world unworthy of existence,

he can create

a new world of possibilities from his world and the parallel one.

And he can entirely replace his world with this new creation.

That is the incomprehensible power of this Mazin:

It can become both god and demon.

This is CIC.

This is CIC.

All units, status update.

This is CIC...

- All units, report status. - What the hell is that?

The interference is becoming stronger.

Transmission failure range... is expanding!

Koji, please stop!

You don't have permission to launch!

They'll be wiped out if we don't do something!

I'll aid the withdrawal from the front.

Don't be ridiculous!

Grab on!

Damn it!

Withdraw! All units, withdraw!

Koji!

You okay?

Great?!

It can't be. . .Tetsuya!

ELEVATED ENERGY LEVELS DETECTED

Crap!

Photon power barrier, maximum output! Hurry!

There's a large breach in the Photon Power Network!

Psy-defenses still down!

We meet again, homo sapiens.

Dr. Hell...

We have but one goal this time.

That is...

co-existence and co-prosperity with mankind.

Preposterous!

At this moment,

we would like to collect from you a small amount of photon power.

As long as you do not interfere with our actions,

humanity need not fear our might of arms.

We have both moved past our adverse history,

so I wish to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.

My heartfelt desire

is co-existence and co-prosperity.

You lying psychopath!

Goragon has begun...

Evacuate in an orderly manner!

Old towns like this are the best.

You don't think 1719 a biz' run down .7

I'd never feel at home living in some fancy official residence.

Give me shops that have been around for years...

and neighbors who know your name.

That's the kind of place I'd like to raise a kid

and build a family in peace.

How's that sound?

This area is not in immediate danger.

All citizens are urged to stay calm.

The instability of the proton power supply

has had severe impact on our citizens' lives.

Our first priority must be to ensure the population's safety.

We will never yield to terrorist threats!

The international community should come together as one

and aggressively apply pressure on him!

All else is ludicrous!

First, establish communications so we can work

- toward a negotiated solution. - No!

A military operation is paramount!

BOSS RAMEN

WELCOME! DUE TO SHORTAGES, ONLY RAMEN WILL BE SERVED

25% said "Mount a do-or-die resistance,"

23% said "Negotiate," while 52% said "I don't know."

The majority responded with "I don't know."

Those favoring battle were almost the same as those wanting negotiation.

Even at today's Security Council Meeting,

a consensus could not be reached.

What was the response of Japan's government?

It was exactly the same as the public-opinion poll.

Their standpoint was also "I don't know."

I believe Prime Minister Yumi has a very difficult decision to make.

This TV's boring! I'm tired of news!

Shh! That's not nice to say.

But it's boring!

Here we go.

Yeah, it is boring! I think so too.

These' re on the house.

What do you say?

Thank you!

Yup!

Sorry, Boss.

Don't worry about it, Misato.

Gotta help each other when times get tough.

I know they're tough on you.

No harder than on you!

YUP, I Suppose so!

BOSS RAMEN

Hey, Boss.

How are you getting your power?

Oh that? I'm pullin' it from Boss Robot's engine.

Got a multipurpose shaft in the basement.

That took some work.

Well I hate to close shop during an emergency.

Here you go.

Thanks, Boss.

You've had this shop for a while now, huh?

Yeah. I tried my hand at a bunch of things,

but somehow I've been able to make it work with this.

Oh my gosh! What is this? This foodstuff?!

It's called "ramen."

The rich taste, the flavor, the saltiness... It's all perfect!

And nutritionally balanced too.

It's the taste of mankind's wisdom!

Thanks, young lady.

Here.

One on the house for you too.

Thank you very much!

Especially during times like this...

those who can work should do whatever they can to the best of their ability.

Oh, this slow-simmered pork is quite delicious!

Amazing!

So is it true that Tetsuya's alive?

Yeah, I saw him with my own eyes.

But every news report says he's missing...with details unknown.

So we can surmise that if word got out, it'd mean trouble for someone.

Here we are.

Two bowls of ramen. Thank you for waiting.

Oh yeah, what happened to Koji Kabuto?

He took part in that battle the other day,

but I heard he was completely useless.

Yeah, that's what I heard too.

Will things turn out all right?

Who knows?

Oh, how about some more water?

Thanks... This is for the two of us.

Okay, thank you.

Hey...

No matter what happens,

I believe in you and whatever you do, got that?

The photon energy transmitted via the Mazin to the adjacent dimension,

now totals 42 million gigawatts.

Approximately 120 hours until Goragon is set in motion.

However, I'm worried about the android that is the Mazin's activation key.

You still haven't found her?

I believe she is purposely avoiding any connection to the photon power network.

And Koji Kabuto?

He has most likely escaped with her.

No, I'm sure he's close by.

Why do you say that?

He's lost both his Mazin and his friend.

No doubt he is seething with anger.

That's the kind of man Koji Kabuto is.

My Lord, it's almost as if...

What?

It's nothing. But if I may say so...

You seem as if you look forward to meeting Koji Kabuto.

Humph.

When you find him, kill him.

Long ago he may have been as enthralled with Mazin as me.

But now, he's just another human.

A quick death is the least we can offer him.

Yes, lord!

Thunder...

Break!

Great Typhoon...

Navel Missile!

Damn...

Quite pointless.

Great is already under the control of the Baton of Bados.

Bastards...

You're only being kept alive for use as a dummy activation key.

Yet you still have a sense of self?

I heard your little speech.

What's with the co-existence and co-prosperity crap?

I thought your specialty was "world domination."

You don't see this state of affairs as exactly that?

What?

Right now, mankind is focused on my every move.

They can't do a thing without considering my reaction.

If you don't call that domination, what is it?

Would you like to know what mankind's biggest weakness is?

Let me enlighten you. It is diversify.

Diversity. . .?

Diversity. As in, the existence of a multitude of justices.

Unfortunately, mankind is not intelligent enough

to navigate so many complex values.

For instance, look what happened

at my mere mention of "co-existence and co-prosperity."

Mankind, being incapable of handling its diversity,

falls once again to squabbling with each other.

The voting will now begin.

I vote no!

- Now what?! - Unthinkable!

Humanity cannot decide.

Mankind doesn't change.

How many years has it been since we left?

You thought if you eliminated us,

peace and an ideal society would surely result.

Yet after all your hardships, this is the outcome?

As I thought, this world does not deserve to exist.

I will recreate the world.

And you can at least be its foundation.

I'm moving up the schedule for Goragon.

Increase the photon power transfer rate by 8%.

- Lord. - Lord.

And the new world...

will belong only to us.

As you know, the universe began with the Big Bang.

The universe continues to expand, while at the same time

it is believed to have branched off into a multiverse of infinite possibilities.

You mean the parallel universes theorized by quantum physics?

Yes.

Goragon is the ultimate weapon, one that forces quantum superposition.

It replaces not just a planet, but an entire universe

with a universe of its own liking.

When Infinity has been fed enough photon power to achieve critical mass,

Goragon will activate.

And you're the living key to making that happen.

Yes. But Hell was able to use Great and Tetsuya instead of me

as the activation key to start up Infinity.

Who knew he was capable of that...

If only I had been able to activate Infinity first,

none of this would have happened.

Can't be helped. No one knew Hell was coming.

I've just confirmed an increase in the rate of photon power supply to Infinity.

Hell is serious about awakening Goragon.

If that happens, it will mean the end of this world.

And so...

In the short time left, one should choose happiness.

That is the rational course of action now.

Happiness?

Because Sayaka has made social responsibility her priority,

her own happiness has dropped in importance.

Yet deep down, she doesn't want you to fight anymore, Master.

She hopes that you two can live without any distance separating you.

I already know that.

Then I beg of you!

I have heard that in the human world,

individuals who form a special bond

will build a contractual relationship called "marriage"

and then form a social community called "family."

At least before mankind perishes,

I hope you will build such a relationship with Sayaka!

You make it sound so complicated.

For a machine, you are impudent.

I'm sorry. Sayaka told me the same thing.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry.

This is the phenomenon called "crying," right?

Why does a machine even have this function?

I hate this.

Who needs emotions?

Purification, purification...

Of the six roots of perception...

Purification, purification...

Of the six roots of perception...

Purification, purification...

Of the six roots of perception...

"You can be either a god or a demon."

What's that?

Long ago, before I boarded Mazinger...

my grandfather, the man who created Mazinger, told me that.

He put a lot of pressure on me, asking which I'd choose.

But what choice was there?

I figured I couldn't be a demon. That's all I knew back then.

After the battles were behind me, I became a researcher.

I had no intention of ever going back to war.

Yet...there I was, standing on the field of battle.

To be honest, I was elated.

If that feeling was part of being a demon, it's something I cannot deny.

Master...

Right now, I think I understand why he who made you

didn't make you to be just a machine.

Huh?

Humans are neither gods nor demons.

Both can be found within us.

To trust you with so much power,

your maker deemed you'd need emotion too, it would seem.

In that sense, you and I may be alike.

If I hadn't become a researcher and had gone on as Mazinger's pilot,

it might have been me, not Tetsuya, who was in Texas.

That thought keeps me from turning my back on everything.

But there's no way mankind can win!

I'm going to hijack Infinity using another Mazin.

Huh?

But there are no Mazin left...

There is one more...

BOSS RAMEN

Hello.

Hi, just put 'em all in the back.

Okay, thank you.

You renovating or something?

Yeah, something like that.

- Hello. - Hi!

- Hello. - Coming through.

I'll open that for you.

Here we go.

All right, all right! Keep stacking 'em up!

We're about to head out.

I worked my tail off to get all this high-end equipment.

Drop one box and you'll hear it from me!

Ta-da!

Get under 'em!

Delivery's here!

The hell is that?!

It's a Chogokin Optical Laminate Molding Machine.

Dr. Nossori! Dr. Sewashi!

, H6)'-

So what is this exactly?

To cut a long story...short...

I see you're still super-slow.

It's like a giant 3D printer that uses photon power.

There!

With this one machine,

you can create facilities, weapons or just about anything.

Awesome!

I'm tired of doing standard research.

We'll finally be making something outside the norm.

This place will be ready in no time.

We're counting on you!

* Right! * Right!

Welcome.

Stop staring.

You. . .look great.

You don't have to force out a compliment, you know.

I had no idea there was a place like this in the lab.

It's a secret bar for entertaining VIPs. Want a drink?

No, I'm good. Look at this.

What's this?!

Goragon.

This data was pulled from Lisa's memory.

With Infinity at its center, space shrinks down to a single point.

Then it recreates the entire universe. The ultimate weapon.

If something like this were set in motion, the Earth would be...

Do you know why Dr. Hell is planning to take over the world?

To make the world exactly as he wants...

But to do what?

Let's face it. World conquest isn't exactly easy.

Wealth, power, fame... he has no interest in any of that.

Ever since our last battle, I've been trying to figure him out.

But I finally reached a conclusion.

Which is?

Curiosity.

Curiosity?

What is mankind? What is the world? The universe?

He wants the answers to all these questions.

He's evaluating whether or not this world is worthy of existence.

So if Hell obtains his answers and loses interest...

Exactly.

If everything falls within the range of his expectations,

we become unnecessary, and Goragon is activated without hesitation.

And the new world will only become an observed object to him.

Just hours ago, I was notified that sporadic battles have started

in various parts of the world.

The planet is reverting to a state where humans fight each other.

To him, that is the most boring, most expected scenario.

This may sound trite, but if there's something I can do,

I'd like to do it.

Such as?

I'm going to rescue Tetsuya and destroy Infinity.

Can you succeed?

If I don't, the result will be the same.

- But then- - Lisa said that in the time left,

the next best course of action is to choose happiness.

Happiness?

I thought when I became older, I'd be more level-headed,

but I've finally realized that's not the case.

I don't want next best, I want the ideal.

That's why...

When this battle is over, I have something to tell you.

Before a battle, you shouldn't...

Sayaka.

No, you musn't...

Sayaka!

Koji.

Yes?

What?

Lieutenant Jun Hono?

You're under arrest for unauthorized access to restricted armaments.

Come with us.

I'd rather die than say we were better off then.

What were you thinking?

Do you understand the risks you were taking at all?

I'll take care of this.

Jun...

You were going to try and save Tetsuya on your own?

I didn't make it far.

Who would've thought this belly would prevent me from stepping on the pedal?

Dummy!

The baby stopped you.

We fought for a better world.

Maybe it has improved some.

We were in the service, so I always knew the day might come...

Yet. . .l can't convince myself to let him go.

Don't worry.

You're not the only one thinking of Tetsuya.

He may have not been able to come...

but he'll do anything he has to to save Tetsuya. We all will.

MZ-Ware OS ver. 1.55.

Now performing hardware check.

Main and back-up batteries charged to 100%.

External and internal temperatures within parameters.

Checking transmission status.

Receiving band signal... Signal received.

Main imager okay.

Heat sync okay.

Let's run through a final check of the plan.

We have only two objectives.

To recover Tetsuya Tsurugi and to destroy Infinity.

First, we infiltrate the underground tunnel of the closed Fuji Plant.

Lisa will ride with me as co-pilot and mission specialist.

As soon as we launch,

Boss Robot and the professors will start a diversionary attack.

Use your firepower to draw them in, then run for your lives.

Yeah, leave it to us!

We'll give 'em a show!

To avoid needless battle, once we arrive at the plant,

we'll use the tunnel elevator

to arrive at the foot of Infinity.

From that angle, Infinity will not be able to use its Breast Fire.

From there, we start moving upward along Infinity's armor.

By doing so, we can expect a Weaker attack from the enemy

since they'll be risking friendly fire.

After that, a program will be installed on Infinity that will forcibly eject Great.

After confirming Goragon has been halted

we collect Tetsuya and bug out.

Thank you all for getting things ready on such short notice.

Without the help of every one of you here,

I'd never have been able to board Mazinger again.

This will be Mazinger's final mission.

All sequences complete. Cleared for takeoff.

Mazin Go!

Pilder On!

Jet Scrander!

Scrander Cross!

Welcome aboard, Mr. Prime Minister.

We had the honor of reviewing all your previous combat logs.

I'm flattered.

Although offensive operations are halted,

just by having us, the elite Joint Forces, here,

it should act as a deterrent on Hell's-

Flying object detected, traveling at high-speed.

Visual confirmation!

On screen.

But that's...

...Mazinger Z!

Hey! Look!

' What? How?! ~ Right?

Mazinger got melted along with the rest of the museum...

Oh, didn't you know?

That was a replica.

Director Sayaka?!

Now you all are not to imitate that sort of bad behavior.

You're off, ma'am?

I retain a sense of decency, so I'm going to go apologize.

You make a different impression

when you show up before being called in.

My, love sure causes you to do crazy things.

EAST FUJI OBSTETRICS CLINIC

Prepare for emergency transport.

Fetal heart rate dropping further.

Okay.

Get the NICU doctor on standby.

Breathe in, breathe in, exhale.

Oh ho!

Here comes the enemy!

Boss, there sure are lots of 'em!

All right professors, let's do it!

Right-0!

3D Photon Printer, switch on!

There, all set.

Okay!

Here we go!

Boss Robot Ultra Shoot!

Huh?

- Come on, get serious! - Come on, get serious!

Oh, my bad, my bad.

This time for sure.

Here goes!

Bombs away!

Take that!

Keep going!

Yeah!

Kick this!

Whammo!

Go!

Another!

Butt kick!

Strike!

Atta boy!

High five! High five! Yay!

Boss! Don't get carried away now.

Oh no!

Taking them all on mighta been getting ahead of ourselves.

Boss! Nuke! Mucha!

Don't forget we're creating a cf/vers/on!

I know that!

- Let's make a show of running! - Exactly.

Catch me if you can! Slappin' mah butt!

Nyah hah, ya big idiots!

Come on!

Wow, they ain't slowin' down.

All right, just keep running!

That's the way, that's the way! It's a big catch!

What's that. . .?

Help me!

It-It's just as we planned!

Yeah, but even so...

Breast Missiles!

HeW-YOU guys are...

- Full of spirit! - Full of spirit!

- We're the guardian angels... - We're the guardian angels...

- of those who fight! - of those who fight!

- Idols of the Joint Forces! - Idols of the Joint Forces!

- The Mazin Girls! - The Mazin Girls!

12 km to the Fuji plant's entrance.

Only a few kikaiju detected.

Boss and the guys did good.

We're going in!

No time for you all...

I'm in a hurry!

That's the entrance.

Scrander Cut!

Mazinger Z!

What is this?

Well, I...

The pilot has been identified. It's Koji Kabuto!

Koji Kabuto!

Koji!

Excuse me.

I am Sayaka Yumi, the director of the New Photon Power Laboratory.

Sayaka. . .Yumi?

I've come to brief you on the situation.

No enemy signals inside the shaft.

Replenishing photon power via the elevator line.

Good work.

Master?

Hm?

What did you and Sayaka talk about the other day?

Well, about Goragon and this operation...

And then...

Other stuff. . .just other stuff.

I'm glad.

It's not because you told me to or anything!

Okay.

Kikaiju detected!

Found us, eh?

Damn you!

Don't push your luck!

Jump!

Rocket Punch!

Brainless bastard!

Mazin Kick!

Photon Power Beam!

Like that?

Breast Fire!

Stupid Damdam!

The new alloy armor wasn't for nothing.

No more Mr. Nice Guy!

Take this!

Iron Cutter!

Drill Missiles!

Firing Frozen Beam!

Missile Punch!

Southern Cross Knives!

Iron. . .Cutter!

A diehard, eh?!

Scrander Off!

I'll end you both together!

Drill Missiles!

You think you're gonna beat me?!

Rocket Punch!

What goes around comes around!

Giant Swing Rocket Punch!

There!

Scrander Cutter!

Heave!

Go!

Missiles!

Volley fire!

Scrander Cut!

Welcome, Mazinger Z.

Let us show you to your grave!

So there you monsters are, Ashura and Brocken!

But I'm in a rush.

Southern Cross Knives!

Keep your wits about you, Ashura.

I know that.

Make sure you keep up!

Ashura P1 Bust Teedle!

No good!

Rocket Punch!

Not quite!

Iron Cross Gas!

Damn your floating head!

After him, Brocken T9!

Take this!

You're mine!

Now's our chance!

Baron Ashura, you won't outdo me!

Like hell!

Try this!

Now I've got you!

My ultimate move, the Ashura Press!

In a tight squeeze, Koji Kabuto?

Let me go!

Now, time to finish him off!

Do it, Brocken!

Hold the bastard still.

Iron Cross Drill!

See you in Hell!

Pilder Off!

Eat this!

You stabbed me, fool!

Now!

Pilder On!

What happened to my body?!

Scrander Cut!

Scrander communications restored!

All right! It's time!

Mazin Power!

Rocket Punch!

Scrander Cross!

Get out of me!

Release me, you imbecile!

You're the ones who are finished!

I'll see you in Hell!

Rust Hurricane!

Koji Kabuto, you'll pay for this. . .!

Full ahead!

If he who controls this power...

deems his world unworthy of existence,

he can entirely replace his world.

This Mazin can become both god and demon.

External input receptor located.

Now moving into range.

3,2,1.

Fire multi-anchor!

Firing!

Installing Great deactivation routine.

Complete.

Access gained. Ready to purge.

Purge!

Purge!

That was close.

I've been waiting, Koji Kabuto!

The Great Marshall of Hell!

Or rather...Dr. Hell!

This is the end of your insanity!

End your prattling!

Did you enjoy your temporary peace? Or did it bore you?

Far from it!

You've been searching for a reason to fight, eh?

Now that you've matured, you need a just cause to fight for.

But by nature, you belong on this side.

You enjoyed it, didn't you?

Fighting for peace... that in itself was joyous, yes?

The beauty of peace is in the absence of it!

Think back.

You were once shallow, simple-minded, honest and tough!

It's time you saw mankind for what it truly is!

Surely you no longer wish for simple happiness, do you?

Enough!

You're mine, Dr. Hell!

Come then, Koji Kabuto!

I see. So you're the original key.

[I ask you! Is this world worthy of existence?]

[I believe it is worthy.]

Iron Cutter!

- Hell Beam! - Photon Power Beam!

Hell Hurricane!

Hell Thunder!

Iron...

Cutter!

Iron Claw!

Beam Boomerang!

Drill Missiles!

Dissolving Bullets.

Damn it.

Southern Cross Knives!

It can't be!

The Chogokin New Z alloy...

...is melting?!

I am your death!

The victory is mine.

Now die in a manner that befits the end of this world!

What?!

Brother!

We've extracted Great from the Mazin!

Thanks, Shiro.

You've grown up.

All Joint Forces will do everything in their power

to assist Mazinger Z.

You dare!

\'KW!

- Ready! - Yeah!

He's yours, Shiro!

Okay!

Breast Fire!

Breast Burn!

Thunder Break!

Goragon countdown aborted.

We did it!

Surrender quietly,

and we'll see that you are treated justly.

You think you've won?

You're too late!

The Goragon countdown has resumed!

What?

Great's key code was backed up in the Baton of Bados!

But that means...

I now have complete control of Infinity.

Behold, Goragon comes at last!

TRUST HAPPINESS LOYALTY COURAGE

It's like heaven...or hell.

Did we die?

No, that's not what happened.

All things exist here, yet it is an empty universe.

Once again, you make it sound so complicated.

That glowing orb is the core of the Infinity Mazin.

In other words, its soul.

Isn't that Dr. Hell's staff?

Yes, Hell has taken complete control of Infinity now.

What you see next to it are Great and Z's cores.

What are these?

Possibilities, each capable of becoming its own universe.

Possibilities. . .?

They're not like the universe we inhabit,

but rather the embryos of universes, any of which may replace ours.

Now that Goragon has begun, they are now under Infinity's control.

LOVE

We're here at the Fuji City shopping mall,

- Where am I? - scheduled to open tomorrow!

Don't just stand there. Sit down.

It's not like you're the father.

Oh, yeah...

I wonder who it'll look like... Jun or Tetsuya.

It brings back memories of the day you were born.

Yeah, every minute your Dad would ask the nurses,

"How is she? Is she okay?"

I was so embarrassed when I heard about it afterward!

Dad did that?

- No way! - Lisa?!

What's the matter?

Oh! That crying means the baby's here!

Right, Mom?

Yes. I'm glad Tetsuya made it here in time!

Am I dreaming?

No...

This must be one possible world...

All sensors down!

Use your eyes. Get visual confirmation!

Emergency engine shutdown. We're stalled out.

Cracks forming in the hull!

Goragon...

ls our universe ending?

Sayaka...

I'm so sorry.

- It's okay. - But...

It's okay.

Lisa!

Don't worry. I'm still in the adjacent dimension.

What are you up to?

I'm making myself the key

so that I can hack my way into Infinity.

Into Infinity?

Yes. I am currently analyzing Infinity's core.

As Goragon continues to develop

this space may become unstable.

If that's the case,

I may be able to infuse Z with the same power as Infinity.

What do you mean?

I cannot free Infinity from Hell's control

but perhaps we could counter it...

You mean...

No, that's ludicrous!

Please just tell me one thing.

What?

Is this world worthy of existence?

It's what Hell asked me before.

He asked if this world was worthy...

There are many awful, many worthless things

that exist in this world...

But even so...

Even so!

I'm certain that it £9 worthy!

I'm glad. You feel the same way I do.

Thank you, Master!

I'll reinforce the flight controls so Z handles normally.

This is your last chance. Please, hold nothing back!

I can't believe it...

Sir, look at this!

A giant. . .Mazinger Z?

What's going on?

Impossible!

What on earth is happening?!

Sensors have been restored.

Anomalous readings in the space around Mazinger Z.

Is it an illusion?

No, it's undeniably real.

Z's photon energy has been converted to matter

and is materializing before us.

Formation degenerating.

Surface temperature: 10"-10 Kelvin.

Trying to feed in such a large amount of unstable energy

with pinpoint accuracy?

Who'd even think of that?

No!

When energy as strong as photon power accumulates,

the boundary between substantial space

and the adjacent dimension becomes slightly unstable.

By applying this phenomenon,

it's possible to convert energy into matter.

It's hypothesis built on hypothesis. Don't take him seriously.

The theory is comically absurd.

Lisa...

Time for payback!

Silence!

Is that all you've got, Mazinger Z?

The Giant Mazinger Z is being overpowered by Infinity.

The photon power isn't enough.

We need more to bring down Infinity.

- Koji! - Brother!

Tetsuya! Shiro!

I need both your Mazins' photon power for Z.

This way!

Got it!

- Emit photon power! - Emit photon power!

Ready?

- Emit photon power! - Emit photon power!

I turned everything off!

Good job.

Of course!

There's someone protecting the planet

for all of us, right?

When we turn off the lights, it gives him power!

That's right. He's risking his life to protect us.

We should at least do what we can to help him.

Countries all over the globe are sending their photon power.

The private sector is helping too.

They are converting other energy sources

to photon power and transmitting it to us.

The general public...

...people around the world...

...are all offering photon power.

I am sincerely grateful for the assistance

from every single person on this planet.

Mazin Go!

Photon power conversion complete!

Transformer output at 5.67 billion percent!

We have enough!

I've been entrusted with all the photon power on Earth.

Now, one final attack!

Rocket Punch!

That is...

...the true power of a Mazin.

Lisa!

I'm sorry. I could probably have clone that a little better.

Done what?

Did the school uniform suit me?

Lisa, are you saying...

That was the possible world you chose, Master.

Perhaps I picked the same one.

I understand a little better now how it feels to have a family.

Huh?

It made me truly feel that this world is worth keeping alive.

I felt the same.

I'll see you again.

Okay. . -

Father...

Thank you.

So in other words,

Goragon was not some new weapon of Dr. Hell's...

but a natural phenomenon?

Yes, we view this phenomenon

as the superposition of parallel worlds within the multiverse.

Some experts have commented that

the concentrated use of photon power triggered

a space-time distortion which allowed Dr. Hell to be resurrected.

Wouldn't it be safer to use existing technologies

like geothermal, hydro, or nuclear power?

- That's right! - Yes, exactly!

Something as dangerous as photon power shouldn't-

Mankind...

Mankind still lacks the power to overcome every obstacle in our way.

It's surprising how insignificant our existence is.

That is what I learned from these events.

No, it's not just mankind.

This planet, this universe... it all exists in delicate balance.

That's why we must always live life to its fullest

while learning from our mistakes. That is how I feel.

To sum up...

We'll do better next time!

KOJI IS AVVAKE! EVERYONE'S COMING TC) SEE Hll\/I. I'll BE THERE AFTER THE PRESS CONFERENCE

Shall I turn off auto cruise?

No, not yet.

Understood.

Koji!

Thank goodness...

Sorry to make you worry.

And also...

Can I...ask you something?

Huh?

You know. . .the thing I wanted to talk about after the battle.

Y-Yes!

Sayaka...

Let's make a baby.

You're asking that? In front of everybody?!

You're the worst!

Wait, but. . .!

There!

The sky I saw with you

So far, so blue.

Still I search for it,

That very same sky.

That it was rain,

Ilearned that with you.

That it was a rainbow

Ilearned that with you.

It was all beautiful,

The whole world on that day.

Tell me your love

Tell me your heart

One more time, 0h

Tell me your love

Tell me tomorrow

That sky I saw with you

Again

If it were only possible

Here in my arms again...

Tell me your love

Tell me your heart

I will never let you go again, oh,

Tell me your love

Tell me tomorrow

Here in my heart

Again

The sky I saw with you

So far, so blue.
