Mazinger Angels by jekky
Mecha Description and Pilots
Aphrodite, Diana, Venus and Minerva in their Mazinger Angels incarnations.
All four robots have a simplified color scheme compared to the older versions, usually reducing the number of colors to only two, but respecting the overall appearance of the robot. They sport heart shaped designs in different parts of their bodies as well as the Mazinger Angels symbol, a winged heart. They also become substantially more powerful and resistant, adding several weapons (many inspired by the Mazingers’ ones) to their classic ones.
The mecha pilots wear their classic outfits plus the Mazinger Angels symbol.
Aphrodite A: Aphrodite is piloted by Sayaka Yumi, her classic pilot from Mazinger Z. In this version, Aphrodite is now orange and white, in contrast to the anime version, which was orange, magenta and red. Her weapons are:
Regular Chest Missiles
Iron Cutter Missile: A weapon that resembles Mazinger Z’s Iron Cutters.
Megaton Hammer: A pair of flails attached to Aphrodite’s chest.
Snow White Aphrodite / Breast Heart Fire: Aphrodite is modified in one occasion and covered with an acid proof paint coat to face the attack of a monster. She is painted white and gold and also sports chest plates that rotate to form a heart that fires a powerful beam.
Diana A: Diana’s pilot is Hikaru Makiba, from Grendizer. She is now depicted in blue and white, and has the following weapons:
Regular Chest Missiles
Screw Crasher Missile: Similar to Grendizer’s Screw Crasher Punch.
Liquid Shooter: Acid shooting guns.
Blizzard Smash: A freezing weapon.
Venus A: Piloted by Jun Hono, her classic pilot in Great Mazinger. Venus is now painted red and white. Her weapons are:
Regular Chest Missiles
Finger Missile: The classic weapon from the anime.
Drill Pressure Missile: Venus can fire two giant jet drills from her chest.
Fire Tornado: Similar to the Blizzard Smash, but this weapon melts everything it touches instead of freezing it.
Minerva X: Controlled by Maria Fleed, also from Grendizer. Maria has psychokinetic powers that allow her to control the robot thanks to a special helmet that channels her brain waves. At first she uses Minerva against the girls because she holds them responsible for the supposed death of her dog Duke, but later realizes thanks to Hikaru that this wasn’t their fault. Duke is later saved and given a prosthetic limb. Minerva’s purple color scheme is the most noticeable since it’s completely different from the usual Mazinger-like one. She seems to be above the other angels in terms of power, and her weapons are:
Rocket Punch: The same attack Minerva has in the anime, taken from Mazinger Z; Minerva can fire her fists.
Breast Fire: Another classic attack from the anime, a powerful beam shot from her chest plates.
Photon Beams: Optic rays.
Sirene Mode: Minerva can shift from her regular form to a stronger one, able to fly thanks to wings placed on her head. When transformed she resembles Sirne, a character from Devilman.
Thunder Breaker: (In Sirene Mode) similar to Great Mazinger’s Thunder Break.
Aphrodite, Diana and Venus also have swords called Mazinger Blades.
Enemies
Many classic enemies and Mechanical Beasts are featured in Mazinger Angels.
Baron Ashura: This time Ashura is not a merged individual but two separate ones, a male and a female, who happen to be lovers. They use Jet Fire P1 (in its classic manga version, not the anime one) to commit thefts and gather enough money to buy an island where they can live together.
Marquis Yanus: Here she is called Madame Yanus, and it’s not a witch but the aging owner of a host club. She uses the Kamia Sisters to kill young beautiful women driven mad by envy at their youth. She also uses Garada K7 to attack the Angels.
Archduke Gorgon: This version shows Gorgon with legs and his tiger detached, and has psychokinetic abilities. He controls Toros D7, a classic mechanical beast that appears in the manga and in Mazinkaiser. Later, he takes to control Minerva but his brains explode under the pressure of controlling the mecha.
Dr. Hell: Hell sends an army of Doublas M2 robots from his Gool fortress, that later merge into King Doublas. He is the one that provides the other enemies their mechabeasts and operates in the shadows. Once, he gives Satan Claus P10 to a thief obsessed with female underwear.
Count Brocken: He appears with a normal head instead of a detached, floating one. He uses Gusios III against the Angels, but it’s stopped by Aphrodite in its Snow White form. He is served by the Iron Crosses.
