!Poseidon

* AmbiguousSituation: It is unknown if Poseidon is aware of the battles between Zeus and Mycenae, let alone if Poseidon is still active or even alive.
* FlatCharacter: Is little more than a prop for the backstory of Mycenae.
* MythologyGag: His appearance is based off how he appears in the ''Z Mazinger'' manga.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Wields a gigantic trident which is expected, given that the wielder is Poseidon himself.

!Seven Generals of Mycenae

* AdaptedOut: Despite their appearance at the end of ''Shin'', none of them make any future appearances in any capacity.
* TheCameo: Only appear as shadowed figures descending down from the sky.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: All seven appear with glowing eyes from both faces. Given how powerful they were in previous incarnations, Koji would definitely need to take every caution if he were to face them.

* [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bunny-Eared Lawyers]]: They're all an eccentric, colorful group of characters, as Sensei is a chef that's almost completely mute who takes the waste of food so seriously that he'll actually try to attack people who do it, Yasu is a perverted, mischievous bath attendant, Django dresses like a bandito from the wild west and constantly hums to himself, Cross is an intimidating looking giant of a man with a heart of gold, and Kikunosuke is a laid back elderly woman found irresistible by men her age, but they're all very good at their jobs, not to mention incredibly powerful combatants.

* AdaptationalBadass: They all had a degree of skills in their debut but ''Shin Mazinger'' either boosts their skills to almost superhuman levels or gives them new abilities and attributes. Tsubasa is a scientist, Cross is a cyborg made of Super Alloy Z rather than just being a large thug, Yasu can fight well on his own, Sensei's sword skills and Django's marksmanship are better defined while Kikunosuke has superhuman speed where she is considered the strongest of the Kurogane Five.



* AdaptationPersonalityChange: When he first debuted in Manga/ViolenceJack, he actually spoke, and he was a villain in that series, unlike here, where he never once utters a single word and is one of the heroes.

to:

* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: Possibly the only iteration version of Ashura where Ashura's their hair has been shown.



* AdaptationalBadass: Brocken has more on-foot capabilities where he has high speed and can create clones of himself.



* AdaptationalBadass: His Anime/GreatMazinger and Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}} incarnation is around the same size of the Mazingers. In ''Shin'', he towers over Mazinger Z the same way Z towers over the average human and is strong enough to destroy Mount Fuji in one attack.
* {{BFS}}: His sword is large enough that it can slice '''Mount Fuji''' in half before it gets disintegrated from the following shockwave.



* AdaptationalBadass: His status as a surprisingly reliable guy whose prone to many a [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]] moment is upped here, as he actually manages to briefly beat the shit out of Kouji Kabuto in his introduction, and the same goes for Boss Borot, his mech, as the "cannon" part of it's GlassCannon nature is emphasized more often, and it's been slightly redesigned to give it a more serious appearance, as it's eyes are now drawn in a half-circled fashion to give it a determined DeathGlare.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: ''Shin'' Tetsuya is a lot more mature and polite compared to his original ''Anime/GreatMazinger'' character who can be moody and arrogant due to his inferiority complex. Even his ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'' character that expands his personality by giving him more hot-blooded and confident characteristics does not display the moodiness or complex that ''Great Mazinger'' Tetsuya had.

* AdaptationalSeriousness: Sensei was a skilled but arrogant swordsman in Manga/ViolenceJack who liked to verbally threaten and belittle his opponents. Sensei here is a quiet man who lets his skills do the talking instead.



* KatanasAreJustBetter: Justified. The Katana he wields is actually made from Super Alloy Z, meaning that not only is it extremely durable, but can cut through things no ordinary katana could on top of Sensei being an incredibly skilled swordsman who knows what he's doing.

On the other hand, he will take a gun and rocket launcher if he is offered.



* NotSoAboveItAll: He is the strong and silent type that always keeps calm in battle but when the Gamia Q androids wasted the food he prepared, he had to be physically restrained to stop him from slicing them apart.



* SuddenlySpeaking: In the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' games only however.



* CoolBigBro: Befriends Shiro and makes the effort to make him feel welcome at the Kurogane House. When he [[spoiler:seemingly dies, Koji states that Shiro took it the worst when he found out Yasu was one of the casualties]].



* LeanAndMean: Has an elongated thin face, a wiry build and a dark sense of humor.



* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: Possibly the only iteration where Ashura's hair has been shown.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Ashura is strong enough to knock down Mazinger Z '''barehanded''' and swim quite fast in the depths of the ocean unassisted.



* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Between being constantly tortured for their failures, having to watch their mechanical beasts (actually Mycenae Soldiers) die, watching their whole civilization being destroyed, finding out that they were betrayed by the man they pledged loyalty to [[spoiler: and seeing that their current freakish appearance was due to the doctor's evil experimentation]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking being verbally abused by both sides]], you'd feel sorry for them too after a while. Still doesn't excuse them being an evil mass-murdering henchmen [[spoiler: and possibly instigating the Mycenae Empire Invasion at the end]] though. Their past lives are nothing to sing about either, considering which side they were on.

* DirtyOldMan: There's a very funny scene in Scenario 47 of [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Saisei-Hen]]. If you attack Count Brocken with a woman, he'll make a comment about opening their (the mecha's) cockpits to see the beauties inside, and suddenly, a lot of ZEXIS girls will start calling him names, like Womanizer, Pervert, Weirdo. Kallen even wanted to treat Brocken's head like a soccer ball. Brocken was surprised at these reactions to his statement.
-->'''Brocken''': Geh-heh-heh, that one's piloted by a girl, huh?\\

* AdaptationalBadass: PlayedWith. While she was already an ActionGirl in ''Guerilla High'', her appearance here is based off of her appearance in ''Manga/ViolenceJack'', where she hardly did any fighting and was more of a leader. Here, she's more than willing to get her hands dirty when push comes to shove.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: See the weapons that the Kurogane Five use? It's all but stated that she was responsible for inventing them, and she also rescued them all and cybernetically enhanced them.



* AdaptationalBadass: He got killed effortlessly by Jack in Manga/ViolenceJack to show off how powerful the eponymous hero was, yet here, he's a swordsman whose a master of his craft.



* PluckyComicRelief: He's far less serious than the other members of the Kurogane 5, and prone to making jokes or getting in trouble.

* AdaptationalBadass: He was a nameless {{Mook}} who got killed off fairly easily by Jack in ''Manga/ViolenceJack'', but he's portrayed as a master marksman who uses a variety of specialized guns.



* AdaptationalBadass: Probably the biggest one out of all of the characters repurposed for the Kurogane 5. Nothing about her was exceptional in her original appearance in the "Tale of the Moonlit Night" storyline from the ''Abashiri Family'' aside from being a really creepy person, but she's portrayed as having superhuman speed as well as wielding strings which are made out of Super Alloy Z that are both super strong and razor sharp.
