* CoolBike

* EnemyMine: Subverted. In one of the ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' manga versions, he [[spoiler:offered Kouji Kabuto forming an alliance to fight [[AlienInvasion the Vegans]] together.]] It was subverted because [[spoiler:Kouji refused the offer and BigBad King Vega killed the Emperor to impede that alliance and get rid of a possible enemy and competitor.]]

* EnemyMine: Subverted. In one of the ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' manga versions, he [[spoiler:offered Kouji Kabuto forming an alliance to fight [[AlienInvasion the Vegans]] together.]] It was subverted because [[spoiler:Kouji refused the offer and BigBad King Vega killed the Emperor to impede that alliance and get ridden of a possible enemy and competitor.]]

** CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:The anime adaptation of Violence Jack makes his death 10 times worse... where he is hacked to death with a chainsaw by one of the members of Hell's Wind. It doesn't help that they force Jun to watch....]].

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: In the Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}} OVA [[spoiler:after he returns with "Shin" Great Mazinger]] he defeats a high amount of {{Robeasts}} alone. In the movie's intro, he is surrounded by massive amount of {{Robeasts}} and mentioned how his machine is "inferior." The next time he appears on screen, he is struggling against TWO {{Robeasts}}. And wins. [[spoiler:And he piloted the weaker Great Mazinger instead of the "Shin" Great Mazinger. That says something.]]

When Dr. Hell seized a bunch of ancient and outdated Warrior Monsters in Bardos, Daishogun was the one who dispatched Gorgon to the surface world to coerce Hell in returning them. Later Daishogun allowed Gorgon to give Dr. Hell newer and more powerful {{Robeasts}} (even though they were not proper Warrior Monsters) to use against Mazinger Z. Their plan was making one of their enemies defeat the other, and then destroying the weakened victor.

* BikerBabe

* MentorOccupationalHazard

His character evolved and developed somewhat along the series. His blatant sexism and his impulsive tendencies mellowed down a bit (it is telltale in Anime/GreatMazinger he was the one recommended using planning and strategy for fighting the Mykene when Tetsuya wanted nothing else than blowing them up to pieces). He also grew up and matured, and his main motivation to fight Dr. Hell became protecting people instead of petty revenge. Although he refused giving up, he was more willing to follow orders and retreat to reevaluate the situation and fight back than his successor, Tetsuya. However, in the Mazinger Z vs Great General of Darkness movie he [[spoiler:refused giving up and backing down, even though he knew he could not win.]]

* BadassCape / CapedMecha: His classic version has a long red cape. In ''Mazinkaiser'' his cape is also colored black on the outside, while the inside is red.

* [[spoiler:DyingMomentOfAwesome:]] His duel against Great Mazinger and [[spoiler:his death.]] After severely damaging Great Mazinger, he thought he had killed Tetsuya, and [[spoiler:died]] after expressing he had no regrets.
* EyeBeams: For distance, he can also shoot beams out of his eyes. So powerful like Mazinger Z’s.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Since he is [[spoiler:killed]] after his duel with Tetsuya, he has no regrets. And then theres his death after his duel against Tetsuya in the future of ''Alpha Gaiden''.
-->'''Ankoku Daishogun:''' "All I need is a heroic song to let me endures the tortures of Hell!"

* FantasticRacism: He does not particularly ''like'' human beings… although he is able of show respect to those prove themselves being worthy of it.

* LargeHam: In all possible way:

* PyrrhicVictory: In the ''Mazinger vs Ankoku Daishogun'', Gorgon reports Tokyo has been destroyed. Daishogun asks him how he can be so glad when four of his soldiers have been annihilated.

* WeaponOfChoice: A sword as big as him with just one hand which can cut and bash enemies effortlessly.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He wanted conquering the surface so the Mykene could see the Sun again after several millennia.

The Great General of Darkness (Ankoku Daishogun) was the supreme commander of the Mykene Empire, and led the seven armies in their mission of conquest of the surface world. He was a gigantic warrior clad in an armour vaguely resembled that of a Roman soldier, a helmet fitted with three horns, a long red-and-indigo cape and a sword. In all of his incarnations he is a very powerful warrior.

When Dr. Hell seized a bunch of ancient and outdated Warrior Monsters in Bardos, Daishogun was the one dispatched Gorgon to the surface world to coerce Hell in returning them. Later Daishogun allowed Gorgon giving Dr. Hell newer and more powerful Robeasts (even though they were not proper Warrior Monsters) to use against Mazinger Z. It is safe to assume their plan was making one of their enemies defeat the other, and then destroying the weakened victor.

When Mazinger-Z finally vanquished Dr. Hell, Gorgon attacked immediately. Mazinger-Z was destroyed, but Kouji was saved by the sudden appearance of Great Mazinger. Since that moment, Daishogun focused his efforts in destroying Tetsuya Tsurugi and his allies. However, Great Mazinger slew his Warrior Monsters once and again. Finally Daishogun ran out of patience and challenged Great Mazinger to a duel.

The Emperor of Darkness was the supreme ruler and warlord of the Mykene. Its main goal was leading the Mykene back to the surface. However, he left the war planning and development of operations to its commanders, limiting itself to replace them when they failed too much or died. He never left his throne and never travelled to the surface. Its most important action in the series was [[spoiler:bring Dr. Hell back to life.]]

* BattleAura
* BigBad

* [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened To The Big Bad?]]: One of the most strange instances of this trope. Tetsuya, Jun, Kouji and Sayaka [[spoiler:obliterated his army]] but they never found his subterranean empire’s capital, neither attacked him. He remained in the underground, and we never saw what happened to him after that point. You had to read the Anime/UFORoboGrendizer Ota’s manga to find out what was his fate.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has purple hair horn-shaped.

* BadassBeard: His true face (located on his chest) sports one.

* ColonelBadass: ''Commander Badass'', in this case. He wields a BFS, sports a BadassCape and a BadassBeard, and he can kick the butt of nearly any HumongousMecha invented by Creator/GoNagai. He led the army of Mykene Empire, personally or delegating on his generals, and he was AFatherToHisMen considered unforgivable default intelligence costed the lives of his troops. He fought Great Mazinger because he knew he could win, slicing it with his blade mercilessly as he laughed its attacks off. And he fought ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'' quite evenly.

%%* BadassMustache

* NotSoDifferent : He and Ankoku Daishogun are two side of a same coin.

* NotSoDifferent : Shared several characteristic with Tetsuya. As Tetsuya is loyal to his commander and would put everything including his life on the line while the Great General is loyal to not only his emperor but all of the empire in order to get back onto the surface, mourning the losses of his subordinates.

** In the Great Mazinger tai Getter fight, [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere the]] [[EldritchAbomination monster]] [[{{Robeast}} Gilgilgan]] ate Great Mazinger's left fist, shrugged a [[ChestBlaster Breast Burn]] attack off, reflected a Thunder Break, blew up Great Mazinger's right fist, endured a Navel Missile and melted Great Mazinger's right leg. Tetsuya's response? He tried to ''headbutt'' it.
