## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You pilot Mazinger Z when a routine battle accidentally ruptures a volcano. The blast liberates the Satan race from their millennia-old prison and Dr. Hell immediately recruits them. Phoenix Jenny rises with wings darker than your steel. Meanwhile Devilman flails against the same horde solo.

Katsumata’s 1973 mashup leaves viewers dangling on the edge of a 43-minute face-off between two titans.

**Mood tags**: playful, unhinged
