In Italy, the series of Great Mazinger it was broadcast by private television stations starting in 1979 in 56 episodes and the legendary acronym is still remembered today with great pleasure.
This is the story of
Tetsuya, a boy who following the death of his parents was adopted by Dr. Kenzo Kabuto, a great scientist. This is actually a cyborg with human features, as following an accident, in order to be torn from death, his brain was transplanted into the body of a human-like android. He teaches the boy to pilot Mazinger, a gigantic robot of his own invention, in order to protect the earth from the invasion of the Empire of Darkness. Tetsuya then becomes the pilot of the "Brian Condor", an aircraft thanks to which once it has been hooked onto the head of the Great Mazinger, allows you to drive it easily and use the powerful weapons it is equipped with.

The great Mazinger - Dr. KabutoWhen he has to perform some mission, to guide Great Mazinger, Tetsuya after going down into a dungeon, gets on board the "Brian Condor"and thanks to a launch pad, it comes out of a cave on the sea, here it calls the robot with the cry "Mazinger out!", at this point the Great Mazinger emerges from a sea vortex and the Brian Condor hooks onto its head allowing Tetsuya to pilot it and control its every move, the robot then takes off ready for battle. The Great Mazinger has deadly weapons like "The disruptive thunder"capable of storing atmospheric electricity through its horns and discharging them through the sword or finger, The great Mazinger"The big boomerang"a giant V-shaped steel blade located on his chest, which he can detach and throw becoming an infallible edged weapon, this also allows him to emit the very powerful gamma ray (or wave of fire), the Great Mazinger also possesses"The evil swords"which holds the sides of the legs, the"Rotating fists"that detach from the arm and start like rotating missiles on the opponent's body. Also Mazinger it is also very strong in hand-to-hand combat, thanks also to the powerful destructive kick and the steel points located on the knees.The Great Mazinger fights against gigantic creatures of the reign of Mikene, half composed of organic material and the other half pure mechanical steel. The Great Mazinger - The Emperor of DarknessThese are men who for power ambitions have united their bodies with that of gigantic robots and reside in the earth's subsoil waiting to occupy it permanently. The leader of this evil horde is theEmperor of Darkness, below him are seven other monstrous generals, each of which is similar to a ferocious animal, these have the characteristic of speaking through the face placed on the chest. Tetsuya and Great Mazinger, during their fights they are helped (... so to speak) by Jun Hono, also adopted by Dr. Kabuto since childhood and trained to pilot a gigantic robot with female features, the "Venus Alpha"The great Mazinger - Venus Alfa. As with the "Brian Condor" of Great Mazinger, Jun also owns the aircraft called "The queen of the stars". At the cry of"Star Queen, go!"the shuttle leaves the fortress of sciences and heads towards the waterfall of a river from which the Venus Alpha. After setting the aircraft on the back of the female robot's head, he takes the controls and can thus begin his fight. The Venus Alfa has very characteristic and fun weapons like the "Photon rockets", breasts that shoot like missiles oi"Digital missiles"of the bullets sticking out of his fingers. But despite his efforts and his courage, the Venus Alpha always ends up complicating the battles of Great Mazinger, as she is not equipped with very sophisticated weapons, she is put in serious difficulty by the soldiers of the Mikene army. The Great Mazinger - JunJun also has a very complex psychological profile, as she suffers from inferiority complexes due to the color of her skin and feeling neglected by her adoptive father, Dr. kabuto. But there are those who in an attempt to help Tetsuya, do worse than the Venus Alfa, it is Boss Robots, a very funny and comical giant robot that always ends up getting into trouble. Piloting this clumsy robot is Boss, a braggart who suffers from inferiority complexes towards Tetsuya, being in love with Jun, to show himself he never misses an opportunity to venture into situations beyond his capacity, always ending up in trouble, in this is aided by his collaborators Nuke and Mucha. Another would-be robot pilot is Shiro Kabuto, the son of Dr. Kabuto. He pilots the Junior Robot, a small robot that obviously gets poor results. The most valid helper of the Great Mazinger is undoubtedly Mazinger Z, piloted by the other son of Dr. Kabuto, Koji Kabuto. He drives the Jet Pilder and hooks himself, like the Great Mazinger in the head of Mazinger Z. This robot is equipped with powerful weapons similar to those of the Great Mazinger like the "Atomic Fists","The gamma ray","The great Typhoon", a very strong wind that comes out of the mouth, the"Photonic rays"that come out of the eyes, the"Central Missile"that comes out of the belly. In the last episode of the series, after a grueling battle with the army of evil, which will involve all the robots in the series, Doctor Kabuto dies sacrificing his life in order to save that of all his children.
