About the work

The collaboration sources “Shin Mazinger ZERO” (2009~) and “Shin Mazinger ZERO VS Dark General” (2012~) are manga media and are not video works.

Of course, the content is a hard robot battle story, but it also has science fiction elements, homage material to the Mazinger series, respect for Go Nagai, and even sexy elements.

Yoshiaki Tabata (screenplay) and Hiroki Yoko (illustrator), who were in charge of the manga, have worked on “Comic Master J”, “Akumetsu”, and the manga version of “Ninja Slayer”, all of which are characterized by violent style and impactful development, and this work is the same.

Work explanation

Shin Mazinger ZERO

This is the previous work of this collaboration work, “Shin Mazinger ZERO VS Dark General.” Therefore, we recommend that you read it here.

First-time viewers may not realize that this work is a time-loop story, and may be reluctant to see the story reset from the beginning over and over again (there are foreshadowings, so those with science fiction knowledge will be able to figure it out).

First, the prologue (reproduced in our collaboration 1-1 “Koji Kabuto! Approaching the abyss of centralization”) begins with Mazinger ZERO, an unmanned robot, destroying the world.

(In addition, the Kouji Kabuto who appeared at this time is a character from “Shin Mazinger ZERO” and is different from the Kouji Kabuto who fought in the Iron Saga world.)

This story is reset and the next development is that Kouji Kabuto turns Mazinger Z into a demon and destroys the world.

Then, the story is reset again, and this time it begins with the classic development of Kouji Kabuto, who rides Mazinger Z, fighting against a mechanical beast. However, this world was destroyed by Dr. Hell (this is the main story of “Shin Mazinger ZERO”).

The time loop that caused this situation will be explained in detail later, so you don’t need to have any science fiction knowledge.

Even without the science fiction part, you can enjoy Dr. Hell’s mechanical beast army and the battle with Gordon Hell (the giant Gordon Hell, who also appeared in the collaboration), an intergalactic usurping super-class mechanical beast whose base, Bardoss Island, itself has become a mechanical beast, and you can enjoy it as an intense robot battle.

After reading through, it may be a good idea to sort out foreshadowing and misleading information and reread the story.

However, mysterious phenomena occur to Kabuto Kouji due to the influence of the different dimensions (many parallel worlds created by repeating the same time due to a time loop), the ability to summon rocket punch, and multidimensional fusion (different dimensions fused into one world) may be a little difficult to understand.

Even if some parts are difficult to understand, you can read the book with great enthusiasm, thinking it will be an exciting development.

Also, there are erotic, gory, and violent scenes, but they’re from the original Mazinger Z, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Shin Mazinger ZERO VS Dark General

This is the final part of the “Shin Mazinger ZERO” series, and is the basis for the story development of this collaboration (this is also the origin of Mazinger Z being displayed at the museum and Minerva X becoming the museum’s director).

The story consists of three parts.

As you can guess from the title, the first part follows the development of the movie “Mazinger Z VS Dark General”, in which Great Mazinger makes his first sortie (the general outline is the same, but there are many differences).

After that, Mazinger ZERO awakens, but the situation is barely brought under control by Great Mazinkaiser’s desperate actions.

(In this collaboration, Mazinger ZERO manifested due to the influence of Great Mazinkaiser, but in this work, his awakening was inspired by Great Mazinger, which imitated the four Mazin powers).

The second part was a world similar to the TV version of Great Mazinger.

Contains a bold interpretation of the many changes in the settings of Tetsuya Tsurugi in the TV version.

(This is the origin of the story in this collaboration that Tetsuya Tsurugi was Kabuto Kenzo’s illegitimate child. However, this does not mean that they are parent and child.)

Also, Grendizer (whose name is not mentioned, just a silhouette) and Duke Freed also appear.

In the third part, Kouji Kabuto, who has gone back to when he was a baby, plans a fundamental redo based on a strong will to correct everything and a certain hazy memory.

It seemed like everything would be resolved. However, Mazinger ZERO’s influence is too great. It was predicted that it would eventually manifest itself (this is also one of the reasons why Mazinger ZERO was manifested in this collaboration).

Koji Kabuto tries to stop this with the specially designed Mazinger Z, but ends up being absorbed into the world created by Mazinger ZERO.

What happens after this is the source material for the “Nai no Yume New Chapter” of our collaboration “Shin Mazinger ZERO VS Dark General”. However, it does not reproduce everything, and the ending is different.

Well, it might be because they couldn’t let Mazinger ZERO disappear due to collaboration reasons.

Or perhaps he was displeased with the fact that an important scene was a joke.

About this collaboration

About the two Kabutojis

Of the two Kouji Kabuto that appeared in this collaboration, the one whose face is hidden as shown in this image is the Kouji Kabuto from “Shin Mazinger ZERO.”

You can also tell from the meta lines that it takes place after the end of “Shin Mazinger ZERO VS Dark General.”

Also, all the memories that Kouji Kabuto, who was active in the Iron Saga world, experienced in the cockpit of Mazinger ZERO were experienced by Kouji Kabuto in “Shin Mazinger ZERO.”

About the remaining Minerva X

The time loop caused by Minerva

From this, it is speculated that Minerva

Minerva

Also, since he doesn’t know about Great Mazinger, it can be assumed that it is Minerva X from the time of “Shin Mazinger ZERO”.

About the Dark General

The biggest problem with this collaboration is that the Dark General, who is also the title, does not appear. However, it is questionable whether the Dark General should be brought out.

This is because the Dark General in the original work “Shin Mazinger ZERO VS Dark General” stands out because he is a major executive of the Mycenaean Empire, but his position is uncertain.

To be clear, contrary to the title, it does not hold the key to the story.

It can be said that Great Mazinkaiser contributed to the blow against Mazinger ZERO, but his role after that is only in the position of a major executive.

In the final stages, “Dark General” appears as an important keyword, but it is treated as something Koji Kabuto remembers when he eats anpan bread. Is this okay? That’s what I think.

(In this collaboration, it has been changed to recall the Great Mazinger, which can be used by entering the serial code into the game within the play).

Introducing such a dark general would mean introducing the Mycenaean Empire, and it would take a lot of effort to write the secret story of its birth.

In that case, it would be better to have him appear in a more dignified form in another collaboration.

In the first place, the title “Shin Mazinger ZERO VS Dark General” seems to have been given with an emphasis on impact, since Dr. Hell’s next enemy is the Kane Empire. Actually, the showdown with Mazinger ZERO was the main content.
