Well they were not destroyed because Kouji in the first episode is the narrator and the Great Mazinger appeared as ready just some minutes before myceneans arrived, in the last episode, but yes the ending without a sequel gives that impression
@@hayaokakizaki4463 V gave a more cemented ending with it also mixing in mazinger zero story. tetsuya in V is more akin to the one here in the show and they kinda gave an explanation why he is involved, where he been an what he knows of future events like mazin zero controlling koji and how to free him. in end koji full control of mazin zero plus tetsuya get the upgraded mazinger emperor to join the fight.
Well actually. This isn't technically the official ending. Remember Episode 1. The episode told medias res, that's the actual ending. Episode 2 is the technical beginning then 3-25. Then Episode 1.
***** Actually you're a bit wrong. Only the first 5 minutes of episode 1 happens after the anime. Also, you forgot to mention the 1st scene in episode 2 as the final ending. So it goes more like this: episode 2 - episode 26 > First 5 minutes of episode 1 > 1st scene of episode 2
Blaze Fire Not really. This ending makes the most sense for the whole Mazinger series as a whole. Kouji ALWAYS loses to the Mycenae Empire. Mazinger Z is NEVER strong enough on his own. Despite alot of key differences, the plot of Shin Mazinger Impact is basically the Manga mixed in with Z Mazinger for the backstory. Plus some other cameos and additions mixed in as per the style of the series director Yasuhiro Imagawa. He does this alot, like in Giant Robo and the first three episodes of Getter Robo Armageddon. Shin Mazinger, even with a few twists, ends exactly as it should. The ending makes sense. All we really need is Tetsuya to come in and save Kouji's ass with Great Mazinger. Like always. Plus Imagawa needs to write the damn sequel...
So.. dr hell was the force that was prolonging the end of the world and arrival of a real evil? Like the guy in Gurenn Lagann that forced humanity to make a step back in evolution and go underground, just to prevent the invasion of anti spiral?
"Grandpa told me that with this Mazinger Z, I can do what I want with the world, I can become either a god or a devil. But I don't want to become a god, nor do I want to become a devil. But still, I'll fight, I'll fight for the sake of the world's peace!" Chills, fucking chills every time
The thing is that Go Nagai was very proud of his work on Grendizer that he didn't see the need to do a remake, still it would be cool to see Grendizer again.
@@_nightmare1241 Indeed. I heard that this ending leads to the episode 1.(First 10 min) Unfortunately, Shin Mazinger series continues with non-related sequel, "Shin Mazinger Zero" manga.
Well...although there may never be a Shin Great Mazinger to continue off of this, there's always Mazinkaiser to have as my headcanon sequel for Shin Mazinger
"And Great Mazinger still didn't happen." 4 years later... "And Great Mazinger still didn't happen." 4 years later once again... "And Great Mazinger still didn't happen."
The director pulled out from the production company, Although there was a slim chance of a sequel getting made but even that went to scrap due to Mazinkaiser Skull being the next Mazinger show. Btw Mazinkaiser SKL sux dick
I think it will come (like mazinger zero manga).... but I think it could take years, decades... even as a reboot in 3d xD this story is pasionated, only needs a good envelopment
I think it's more another throwback to the older Mazinger canon's, specifically the 70's Anime where right after a gloriously triumphant victory the heroes are met with an evil that only a super-super robot can defeat. The reason I don't think they'll make "Shin Great Mazinger" is that it would be near impossible to explain in the canon established in Z-Hen, especially how Great Mazinger is more powerful than Mazinger Z and how Tetsuya is still alive.
@@matberte7159 I wonder if Shin Great Mazinger can transform into hand like Shin Mazinger, i would like to see double big bang punch attack, imagine how awesome it would be
@@ssss.wappled2418 actually there was a draw of shin great, he got his own god scrander and a hand like mode, i dont remember shere i find that, i dont have the link but i have find it, it was the same as the one from SRW
@AgaiLazen Darnit, I cant find a place to watch the original series, so I was really hoping for this series to cover more so I wouldn't feel as out of the loop. But, on the other hand, think of all the people that got revived, so Tetsuya coming back would actually make some sense. And maybe they can explain Great as something the other scientists worked on as a backup plan (Dr Kabuto's AI could've helped too). So, a "True Mazinger Impact: Great Chapter" might still be possible.
Too bad this series ended in such a cliff-hanger. The whole time Baron Ashler played his/her cards, and this is what he/she wanted. Ashler couldn't kill him/herself while Dr Hell controlled him/her. Now that Dr Hell is dead, Ashler then performed his/her suicidal Blood Ritual Sacrifice in order to revive the ancient Mycene Empire... and then the 'sequel' for this series begins.
Unlikely it won't happen. It's frustrating that one of my very best animes end up like these. But how you'r going to do a Great Mazinguer if you know that tetsuya is death.
@@protion_2312It already happened in SRW V. The writers of the Shin mazinger Z serie came in and finished as best as they could the plot. Tetsuya is an artificial being from the original Tetsuya, and Great Mazinger was made using the left hand of Zeus, altough I don't remember who built It. They then kinda did what the story beat of Shin great would have been in SRW. This was probably the best they could do to give a bit of closure to fans after years.
@geniusbob I personally think Evangelion was a tie, if only because there was never a defined baddie to win against. Know anywhere I can watch Zeorymer?
Well the wrighter of this series made this ending wth a Shin Great Mazinger series in mind (and is in fact still tryngtoget made) so we can asume Great would have an other explenation in this universe.
@Geshpenst I don't think there IS a sequel. That makes it all the better, in my opinion. It breaks bounds by being the ONLY mech anime to allow the baddies to win.
Let's hope Getter Robo Arc anime won't end in that way even the final episode title is Endless Battle which is same name as final manga chapter and it ends in cliffhanger
no news of a great mazinger remake but there were plans for a remake of ufo grendizer (think i mispelled but ppl should know who im talking about) and for mazinkaiser there was one last year i think called skl mazinkaiser but its really different compare to the original one ppl know and it only went for like 2-3 episodes.
yeah, while im watching AGE, it isn't nearly on the level of 08th MS On the other hand, i freaking LOVE unicorn this is just a cool down period for super robots. its like between kaiser and shin or between shin getter and new, we'll get something eventually...
IKE!!!!! ROCKETO PUNCH!!!!! HUNDRED RAPID SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha love this part and really hoping for the day when they get their heads screwed on straight to make Shin Great Mazinger :)
