The Characters of Anime/GodMars!
----
!!Takeru Myoujin aka Mars
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuMizushima
* AcePilot: Notably not only is he an ace in Gaia/Godmars, he's also a great Cosmo Crusher fighter pilot as well.
* AdaptationDyeJob: In the original Mars manga, Takeru/Mars was a red head. In the anime, He has dark hair.
* AdaptationNameChange: {{Subverted|Trope}}. While he's still refered to as Mars by the Gishin forces. Mars was given the earth name Takeru.
* ButNowIMustGo: Final episode, with Roze.
* ChewToy: Poor Takeru is a terrific example. In each episode Emperor Zuul sends out assassin after assassin to kill him and he's beaten, burned, frozen, zapped, electrocuted, asphyxiated to within a centimeter of his life, at which point the title robot arrives to save him. In the third and final arc of the 64 episode series, he's even stuck with a psionic device which drains part of his Life Force if he attempts to use his powers. It doesn't get much worse than that. Oh and, he knows that, if he does die, the super-bomb in his guardian robot will blow up the planet. YEOWCH.
* CombinedEnergyAttack: Godmars's final attack on Zul in the final episode (referred to in ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2: Saisei-hen'' as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GV40ph9enQ Super Final Godmars]]).
-->'''Takeru''': Zuul! I'll show you everyone's anger! This is the final fight! I'll put everything on the line!\\
(God Mars turns golden while church bells ring in the background.)\\
'''Takeru''':MARS FLASH!\\
(God Mars summons the Mars Flash.)\\
'''Takeru''': FINAL GODMARS!
* FinishingMove: '''FINAL GODMARS!''' Can pretty much be summed up as a powerful slash with the Mars Flash. A lot of the time, though, it is preceeded with Godmars using God Fire to internally damage the enemy mech (usually immobilizing them), which is how it is presented in ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2''.
* HumanAlien
* MosesInTheBulrushes
* NiceGuy
* PsychicPowers
* SpiderSense: Due to his Psychic Powers, Takeru can detect incoming danger and identify any assassins disguised as humans.

[[OhCrap Then you have to fight the real one.]] There a reason that Stage is ThatOneLevel of Hakai-hen.
** Stage 56 of the IF route in Saisei-hen. First you have to fight a Crap-load of [[Manga/GetterRobo Invader]], [[Anime/{{Gravion}} Zeravire]], [[Anime/DaiGuard Heterodyne]], [[Anime/ShinMazinger Mechanical Beast]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Mobile Doll]] bosses. Then you have to take on Emperor Zul and [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Emperor Muge]] along with a bunch of their lackeys, including TWO [[Anime/DancougarNova MOON-WILLS]], plus the [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Cathedral Terra Lazengann]] (which you just spent half of the last stage beating already). THEN, once all that is over, you go inside the Catheral Terra where you have to fight [[EvilKnockOff Anti-Spiral Gurren Lagann]].

'''Dr. Hell''': They will live up to my expectations! I have high hopes for Baron Ashura.\\
