The Great General of Darkness (闇黒大将軍, Ankoku Daishōgun) was a bad guy, supervillain and warlord from the Great Mazinger although he first appeared in the final episode of Mazinger Z. He takes the form of a gigantic warrior wearing a helmet decorated with three horns, a long red cape and vaguely Roman-like armor. His true face is that of a bearded old man and is set into his chest. He reappeared in the OVA Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness, redesigned; his new look has him sporting black armor, a black cape with red insides, and a smaller true face.
The supreme commander of the Mycenae Empire (Mikene Teikoku), the Great General of Darkness leads the seven Mycenaean armies in their conquest of the surface world. Forced underground centuries before, the Mycenae further developed the golem technology Dr. Hell discovered and used to create his Mechanical Beasts. Instead of purely mechanical mecha, the Mycenaean Warrior Beasts are a nightmarish combination of flesh and machine, and are far more powerful than their purely mechanical cousins. (so its like cell in dbz?)
In all of his incarnations, the Great General of Darkness is a force to be reckoned with. In close combat he wields a mighty sword capable of slicing mountains (in Shin Mazinger Z) and bashing through opponents. While at a distance, he can unleash purple-colored beams from his eyes that are powerful enough to match Mazinkaiser's Koushiryoku Beam. On the defensive end, the Great General of Darkness is no slouch either; as his cape can withstand Fire Blaster's intense heat, and his true face survived a direct strike from Great Mazinger's swords and in his 2003 incarnation, a direct blast from Mazinkaiser's Koushiryoku Beams (which were shown to be powerful to destroy the Mycenae warrior Dante with one strike).
Mazinger Z vs. The Great General of Darkness[]
So is this a metaphor for his ambition? or is he sending a hologram there?
In here I don't know about the 1st part but I saw the ending and after Mazinger Z gets thoroughly f'd by the 7 generals, and after Great Mazinger saved Mazinger Z's Black a55, and after they both beat General Juuma, He shows up in the flaming corpse of Juuma and sez he has more warriors ready for em and he's gonna now devote his full attention to finding ways of wasting em. What a gyp! He doesn't even fight Mazinger Z! His minions do! Its like in Silence of the Lambs how Hannibal is said to be a cannibal, but never eats anyone in the whole movie! Or calling the DBZ movie where they fight the new androids, gokoo vs dr gero!
He's voiced by Kousei Tomita whos awesome and voiced Daemon Abashiri in Abashiri Family (which was awesome and cool), Master in Black Jack (Which I heard of), Zanin and Geruge in Devilman TV (Which was pretty good). Doraemon in the 70s Doraemon (I heard of it but never saw), Dr. Satome in Getter Robo(which I haven't got into yet), Danbei Hayami in pretty much every Cutie Honey series(curvy nude honey!!) Dr. Hell in CB Chara Go Nagai World (which was fun and cool) and Mazinkaiser (which was bada55), Dr. Hell and Nuke in Mazinger Z(classic super robo entertainment), Pluto/Charon Pokémon Generations(whih fits his daemon roles), Danbei Makiba, Gandal and Nuke in UFO Robo Grendizer (the gt of Mazinger), and the emperor/narrator in Voltron (Which was cool)

someone fill this in homie. wiggle wiggle!
Manga[]
Nice t-ts Jun!
Archduke Gorgon goes to his base and reports to his boss the Great General of Darkness that their enemy Dr H was slagged and now all in their way of the Mycenae Empire taking over da urth is Mazinger Z! So General sends Grantonios and Biranius. Later, Koji, Boss, Mucha, Nuke. Shiro Kabuto and Bikini Sayaka Yumi are at the beach and Sayaka don't want tan lines so she stays under a parasol. So Koji Kabuto swipes her Bikini Top, but the Photon Power Lab calls Koji to deal with new monsters attacking. Mazinger Z, Diana A and Boss Borot go to face it and Grantonios tells em its not some metal puppet but was sent by the Great General of Darkness to slag him. Diana gets f'd by Biranius's fish (with 1 biting the b00b) and Grantonios whips off Mazingers right arm and crumbles Borot with vibrations. Koji tries a Rocket Punch and Koshiryoku Beam but they get rebounded and bust his cracked Mazinger. So Mazinger Z just got f'd dead and somewhere else, Kenzo Kabuto somehow senses his kid needs him and sends Tetsuya Tsurugi in Great Mazinger to save him. He arrives and slags both baddies with fancy moves and carries the busted Mazinger off (As Sayaka and Boss and just stay there).
Later Great Mazinger tests his weapons and Jun sez Tetsuya is great and Kenzo sez they were born to pilot the mechs Venus A and Great Mazinger. Then Kenzo thinks about taking them in after their fams bit it and trained em to stop the Mycenae. Meanwhile, the Great General of Darkness rags on Minister Argos about how Argos otta know where Great Mazinger is. He sez its in the costal waters of Izu (Like in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue?) and G G O D sends General Angoras to cause a storm there to lure G M out. Later its night and Boss is pretending to have a Takoyaki date with Sayaka and he sees a sexy chick comming outta the sea. Turns out its Venus A and Jun comes out. Boss comes on to her and sez he pilots the Borot. she introduces herself (even though he seemed to know her last chapter) and sez he likes her big b00bs. She throws him and sez she's been training all her life to be the pilot of Venus A and she's too much for him. Boss trys to charge her but Tetsuya stops him and sez he and Jun are close like Bro and sis and Boss don't care as he's totally gay for Jun and wants to fight ads the cool robot guys get all the hot chicks (If you've seen Mazinger Z Infinity you'll know they get b0ned by em). Suddenly, a tidal wave made by battle beast Mamerugosu happens and Jun/Boss get in their bots (Mucha and Nuke ride with Boss) and are hosed by the wave as Mamerugosu uses gravity to make waves(like da moon?!). Angoras and G G O D talk about how this looks good for em but where's Poochy I mean Great Mazinger? Tetsuya is trying to dock with Great Mazinger but the Tsunami might stop it. Her equips and slags Mamerugosu but Angoras sez he was just the bait to lure him out and sends in his real warrior: the Mcconnell! A bullet shaped Fish Type Battle Beast! In Attack mode! It plows Great Mazinger into a wall and blows as its full of asplosives but Great Mazinger survives at the last second.
Later Great General is b--ching about how they aint conquered Japan yet and Archduke Gorgon sez they otta try something different. He sez its cuz their commander s-cked and Angoras tries to stomp him but Dark General sez no and gives Gorgon a chance to beat Great Mazinger by daybreak. If he does, he can become a General. He suggests Probing Great Mazingers surroundings (Which sounds like a proctology thing). So this Octopus battle beast Zerangia and Jun thinks it would be cool if she could fly her Venus 5 thing. Great Mazinger uses its boomerang but it but its all sticky and oozy so it don't work. Same with the Rocket Punches. Gorgon cheers as without his hands, Mazinger can't use Thunder Break or his sword and Jun bashes him for getting into this mess. Naval missile is stopped by a thunder shield and it sticks to the ground so Great Typhoon don't blow it away. Gorgon comes out and gloats but Great flies up on the Typhoon and kicks a sword through the Zerangia. Then slags Gorgon and his Jellyfish with Electro Thunder Spark (What if he just used Great Thunder at the start? Gorgon's whole plan depended on Mazinger using both Rocket Punches at the start!) General of Darkness b--ches that Gorgon was wasted and they gotta beat Great Mazinger.
Later Kenzo Kabuto is making that thing Mandark used in Dexters Lab to beat the Japan Monster but only made it stronger. Then Great General of Darkness comes himself and Jun and Teysuya take off in their Hetero EVA Units. General launches a buncha Battler Beasts and Venus A and Great fly up as Kenzo zaps the Beasties with a hypno ray and makes em attack the Great General. Kenzo sez hhe studied Marquis Janus's hypnosis on Boss and friends (F--kin how?! There was no cameras and Boss snapped outta it after he was triggered!) but not everything can be hypnotized. So G G O D slags his troops like he's Megatron and faces Great Mazinger. Great General's Sword absorbs energy attacks and the punches bounce off. He slices off Greats arm and Venus sh00ts her t-ts at him but he eye beams her out. Boss Borot goes to save Jun and Kenzo is gonna use Photon Force Guns on G G O D but Great Mazinger is too close. Great flies fast and cuts by him holding the boomerang but the 2nd try he gets grabbed and spun around and thrown into the lab, which makes it asplode for some reason. So G G O D is gonna take off Greats Head but Great kicks him in the torso face and Naval Missiles him a lot. and takes off his head like Black Zarak in Transformers Super God Masteforce. As his head is in his body (Like Black Zarak) he grabs Great Mazinger ands strangles it (But it don't got lungs or a throat!) and is gonna bring Tetsuya to Hell with him! Great Mazinger jams his fingers in his chest eyes and Thunder Breaks him from inside (Kinda like how when Narumi strangled Riki-Oh with his guts and Riki-Oh slugs him out with one of his 2 free arms). so the General Asplodes like the Leprechaun in those so bad its good 90s movies.
Mazinkaiser[]
So are his eyes his nipples??
In Mazinkaiser vs The Great General of Darkness He attacks earth and busts things up while Koji Kabuto is on vacation. After Koji slags the 7 daishogun, The Great General of Darkness comes in riding a big a55 ship (is that Ghoul?!) and plows Mazinkaiser into Mount Fuji. But Mazinkaizer picks it up, throws it in the air, and throws his scrander like a boomerang to cut it in 2, b4 it asplodes! He fights Mazinkaiser and trades blows of swords and eye beams. but them and fire blaster have no effect on him. He slams Mazinkaisr to a wall and pins him with his blades. Koji gets fired up and uses TURBO SMASHER PUNCH! To knock The Great General of Darkness's sword away, then cooks his chest eyes with KOSHIRYOKU BEAM!! tHIS is followed by a KAISER KNUCKLE!! to the face each for Lori and Loru, one to the chest face for Morimori, and a double fist that takes off the head for Sayaka Yumi and all of humanity! Before the last one, he wonders if Mazinkaiser's power is limitless. On the ground he admits defeat and asks if this is as far as Mycenaean ambition can go, before his own sword that was knocked in the air b4 (I forgot about dat) comes down and gets him in the chest face! (BADA55!! WAIT, how'd Koji do dat? did he know where he'd land?! who cares! its cool!) Blood geysers out straight up kinda like with Harlem Bomber! and then... he died!! ahhhhhhhh!!

Ehhhh, I think he looked cooler in Mazinkaiser.
He shows up in the last bit of the last ep where Koji Kabuto finally slagged Dr. Hell but the Mycenaeans come out as Baron Ashura sacrificed his/her self to revive em. Then The Great General of Darkness shows up and swings his golden blade and Mt Fuji is split horizontally and obliterated. Wen shin gr8 mazngr?!
