"That's right... It's fine if you tell me... to fight... I'll keep answering with the same answer... MAZIN GO..."
-Tetsuya Tsurugi
Biography[]
Anime[]
Tetsuya is an orphan kid who was raised by Kenzo Kabuto to pilot the giant robot he was developing and repel the Mycenae invasion Kenzo and his father -Dr. Juzo Kabuto, creator of Mazinger Z- were frightened of.
Tetsuya is prideful and efficient but deep down he is a person insecure and frightened of being alone. He had been a lonely kid until Kenzo took him in. He felt Professor Kabuto had given him a home and someone to call "father", and he would do anything for him.
He completely devoted his life to piloting Great Mazinger and combatting the Mycenae Empire. He trained and honed his skills to honor his father, and he refuses to quit or flee because in his mind it would mean letting his father down. Due to his time spent focused on piloting Great Mazinger his interpersonal skills were severely under developed, thus coming off as blunt or rude with most of his encounters.
When Koji Kabuto returned, Tetsuya became afraid and jealous, fearing everyone -including Kenzo- would forget about him, and he would lose his father and the only thing gave meaning to his existence: piloting Great Mazinger. So, he got aggressive, hostile and confrontational, and even he refused to help Kouji when he needed him.
He took the initiative to change his ways after his jealousy and fear and overcame them.
We always knew he'd b0ne Jun! Now its canon!
What's the kids name? Find out next time on Mazin Ger Z!
Although similar to Kouji in some aspects –such like being hotblooded and resilient, he was also pretty different. Where Kouji was carefree and enthusiastic, Tetsuya was serious, focused, gloomy and cranky(kinda like going from Jaden Yuki to Yusei Fudo when GX ended and 5D's started). He was completely focused on his duty whereas Kouji had a life beyond of piloting Mazinger Z. Maybe due to him being older, Tetsuya was slightly more mature than his predecessor. However, unlike Kouji, he didn’t outgrow his competitiveness.
In Mazinger Z Infinity its 10 years after beating the baddies and he is married to Jun Hono and got her pregnant. He still pilots Great Mazinger but gets caught in Texas and used as a plug for Dr. Hell to access Mazinger Infinity to wipe out the universe. Eventually Shiro Kabuto and Lisa and Koji get him out and they fight the grand marshall of h-ll but Dr H-ll gets into Infinity and tries to wipe the universe, But Koji and Lisa stop him. Later Jun as gave birth to their kid and they see Koji ask Sayaka to have a baby with hi.
Manga[]
That dialogue strangely fits the Go Nagai feel
After Diana A, Boss Borot and Mazinger Z get f'd by Biranius's and Grantonios, 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 Jun Hono is caught by some guys and meanwhile, Japan has a cold front from the USSR Siberia and Shiro Kabuto chats with Tetsuya about Jun going Shopping as there were good deals. Then the base is under attack and Great Mazinger comes out and fights a Spider Yokai in mean Mycenae and its got Jun drugged as a hostage and if Tetsuya(Which I really wanna spell Tetsuja cuz I'm Slovenian) can't fight back and takes a pounding. Kenzo says if he bites it then Jun will too and think like she's already dead. The base gets f'd and Tetsuya charges in which shocks the monster. Boss uses dyno mite (Which if Mazinger Z couldn't beat them,, how does a stick of Dy Mo Mite?!) to blows off its hand (Like Harold Lloyd) and drop Jun and they hide under a White Sheet in the snow. Tetsuya spikes it to the ground with a sword and slags it.
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 sz 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 maybe, Boss trains by driving his Borot along the beach to beat Koji I mean Tetsuja and Marquis Janus shows up in there and turns her head around to show a 2nd face on the back. She hypnotizes him and his droogs to push a button when Tertsuya sez "unbelievable". Also she has her goons mod Boss Borot with charges to blow and mind wipes Boss to forget she did that. Later a Battle Beast attacks and Boss Borot Beats it as Great Mazinger Arrives. Tetsuya sez Boss Borot is unbelievable and this triggers Boss to push the button and fire a missile from Borot at Great Mazinger(Didn't the Manchurian Candidate do this first?). Janus sez Great isn't invincible when attacked from nearby(Das f--k?!) and sends Merutazu out. Great Mazinger had its Right Arm blown off by the missile and it gets splashed by Acid from the Beast Machine that will melt it from inside leaving it a hollow doll(Like how wasps plant eggs on things and they hatch and eat em alive while leaving the vital organs last). Great Mazinger chops off its arm and slices off the monsters head as it sprays acid, The head flies and spins and soaks the body in acid and slags it, Janus is amazed at Great Mazingers power and Boss has no memory of it but Jun don't buy it. So the Emperor of Darkness b--ches at Great General of Darkness over not beating Great Mazinger and he decides to go himself to beat Tsurugi.
Later Kenzo 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 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.
Later the Emperor of Darkness says to his remaining dudes to slag Great Mazinger and later Batttle Beast Igo attack a plane like its The Giant Claw. Later Tetsuya is working out and is called in to fight Battle Beast Grongo. Jun is gonna take the other one but then they get a message from Dr. Hell saying he's been revived as the Grand Marshall of Hell and wants Great Mazingers weapons in exchange for the hostages he took. Jun begs him not to but Tetsuya consents. They give up their weapons and the passengers are returned but the staff and crew of the vehicles captured aren't. G M O H says they'll be returned if he fight 3 mechanical beasts in a dual. Jun begs him not to but Tetsuya consents and he goes out. Battle Beast Spice puts an iron mask on him to stop the Great Typhoon and they bring him chained up to a place where GMOH sez he's gonna torture him dead and won't give back the people. Tetsuja launches off and they slice off Great Mazinger head, to reveal it was Venus A in a fake Great Mazinger(Cosplay!!) and the weapons were fakes too(you mean he didn't check em?!). Great Mazinger comes outta a volcano cuz its cool and dont need to make sense about how it got there or launched out, and he and Venus slag the beasts. He comes for GMOH but I guess he planned for this like he's Xanatos from Gargoyles and he has the remaining Generals attack! He takes off GMOH's head but it was too easy and he gets f'd hard by the other 7 evil ex bf's. The Real GMOH comes in to finish him and Tetsuya realizes the controls say everything ok and the 7 chaos emeralds aint appearing on radar, so they are fighting 1 on 1 somehow. He uses Breast Burn and blasts him and sez he knows its all just an illusion as Great Mazinger wouldn't fall that easy and its really General Hadias he's fighting! Tetsuya slags him and tells Jun, who saw the same thing, that it was electromagnetic waves that made their brains thing it was like that.
Later Kenzo Kabuto is gonna revive Mazinger Z with Prof Yumi and a new Super alloy Z and have Koji return. Marquis Janus sees this with her science or witchcraft or w/e and Grand Marshall of H-ll sez to stop em but Koji is already in Japan. Koji is driven with Sayaka and Battle Beast Ruby Ghilas shows up and blasts the car. But its really a flying saucer made In America and flies off(Da f--k?!). It follows them but Great Mazinger slags it and Venus flies on a Scrander of its own to guard them. At da base Koji reunites with his dad and Koji, Sayaka, Jun, Tetsuya and Boss vow to work together like the Power Rangers. Grand Marshall goes all out and launches all his sh-t at Japan and slags Tokyo. They also attack the Photon Power Lab and Jun and Tetsuya go there as Mazinger and Sayaka fight the other area. Great Mammoth and General Julicaesar attack Mazinger Z and Diana A buyt Great comes in and slags em. The enemy runs after their leader falls and they f--k em up. Even Boss Borot and Shiro in his own kiddy mech come in as Kenzo said Shiro could come. Jun realizes that Kenzo planned to nuke the base and take Dr H to h-ll with him! He uses the nuke in the base to wipe the area and says sorry for not being a great dad to Shiro and Koji(Couldnt you do this by remote?! Did you have to be there to set it off?!) and Dr H survives as he wasn't close enuff. The Double Mazingers attack GMOH and he's resistant to missiles with his mantle like he's Enma-Kun or some sh-t. He blasts them with fire and Great Mazinger uses Thunder on its blade and throws it through the GMOH's mech eye and slags him(At least until Mazinkaiser or Mazinger Z Infinity). Later Koji and frends say bye to Kenzo and thank him for helping them beat the Mycenae Empire. Now Koji can grow up to be a scientist but not be a beta male like those big bang theory dinks! The end!
Super Robot Wars Alpha series[]
Tetsuya went from normal not really important enough character in the first game, into one of the more developed and important character to the plot and backstory of Alpha Gaiden, and become Touma's main mentor(since he gaves him his training schedule to fit his role as Drill Sergeant Nasty) in Alpha 3
Tetsuya also stars in a story depicting the prequel of Alpha Gaiden, which serves as the moment before Egret Fehu does his job at the Earth Cradle. What does Tetsuya do ? Opening with the classic Thunder Break move to save the crippled base defense line of Gespenst and Valkyrie Squad, then, after making a boast that he doesn't care about anything, his job is to give a trashing to the enemy, he evenhandedly fights a whole Army of Mycenaean Dragoon Squad resulting in a cracked and crippled Great. Then Ryuuma Shogun come only to get handled by a Thunder Break and a point blank all or nothing stab with Mass produced Photonic Beam Saber with a little help from Venus A.
This feat is so awesome that SANGER ZONVOLThimself stares at his prowess in such an expression that signifies fear. You read it right. Sanger motherfucking Zonvolt himself FEARED Tetsuya Tsurugi.
