You're Quinner
[shin mazinger] I need to give a shout out to baron ashura for pulling out ALL THE STOPS for this fucking nefarious plan
You're Quinner
levels to the scheme:
You're Quinner
- Send multiple machine beasts to different parts of Japan to divide forces and keep Mazinger Z from fighting all of them
You're Quinner
- Simultaneously, send three androids assassins to kill Kabuto Koji before he can board Mazinger Z in the first place
You're Quinner
- Send a secret fourth assassin in case the first three don't get the job done
You're Quinner
- It's fine if all of that fails, because he has ANOTHER mechanical beast waiting to capture Mazinger Z as soon as it launches, before Koji can dock with it
You're Quinner
- If Mazinger Z manages to get out of all of those traps, send all of the other beasts to fight it simultaneously
You're Quinner
- Save one last even stronger beast after all them, and use one of the pilots of the other robots defeated earlier as a hostage to force him to surrender Mazinger Z without a fight

ALL RIDING ON THIS PLAN
You're Quinner
oh right also when capturing Mazinger Z, carry it over the ocean, so that if it breaks free it falls underwater and has to fight outside its element against an aquating machine beast
You're Quinner
and here's the thing
You're Quinner
the real final twist
You're Quinner
it WORKED
You're Quinner
HE CAPTURED KOUJI
You're Quinner
HE HAS MAZINGER Z
You're Quinner
She WON
You're Quinner
in any other Mazinger Z continuity I'd be going "what was your plan, baron ashura" after another beast gets rocket punched
You're Quinner
but Shin!Ashura
You're Quinner
had a PLAN
dragon time
- there was a secret fifth robot waiting in case kouji escaped
You're Quinner
it's really a wild arc
You're Quinner
both sides just FULL of contingencies to counter each other
You're Quinner
a game of advance planning played between Baron Ashura and Tsubasa
