This isn't really canon to either series but they did similar things in CB Chara Go Nagai World where Mazinger Z And Getter Robo I Mean Dev ilmasn crossed over

Go Nagai does a lot of cameoes and full on crossovers in his work and is my fave author who''s the most creatyive guy I ever reaD

He made aNIME COOL And this movie didn't meeet Kazuki Takahashis expoectations so he wabnted to do Yugioh Cs GX, but that f';d out and they used the ideas in Season 2 with them going to Domino City and thag Scoentology thing

The movie starts with a battle between Mazinger Z and Aphrodite A against three of Dr. H=ll’s Mechanical Beasts and the heroes win

but the battle frees the female demon Sirene from below the ground

She flies away before they can do anything about it and busts up the town a bit

However she is seen by Akira Fudo, who transforms into his real form of Devilman to fly after her

Dr. H=ll, who saw the battle, realizes that Sirène is part of a “Demon tribe” that according to a legend ruled the Earth in prehistoric times

Using a flying fortress (not Ghoul, the one seen in the regular Mazinger series, but rather the Navalon, one exclusive to this movie) H=ll and his hench-hermaphrodite Baron Ashura follow Sirène to the Himalaya Mountains, were the rest of the tribe is frozen

H=ll helps to free some of the demons (notably absent is their leader, Zenon) and holds em off with a raygun when thy try to ice him

He makes a demon deal with Zanin to help them defeat their enemy, Devilman, if they will help him defeat Mazinger(Note, in CB Chara Go Nagai World he has a thing for Sirene. Not this one for some reason. Probably cuz shes not as nude)

But they don't know that Devilman has spied on their conversation (whut a tweest!)

Later, Akira goes to warn Koji about this but ends up mocking the Mazinger for being unable to fly

this leads to the two hot-tempered teenagers racing each other on motorcycles in a weird unreal battle that they'd only do in the 70s(it ends in a draw.)

It turns out that Mazinger’s headquarters, the Photon Research Laboratory, is already working on da Jet Scrander, a giant winged jetpack (cuz a metal titan like Mazinger Z can fly with wings and a jet on its back)

However one of the demons has spied on them and reports this development to Dr. H=ll

He sends the shapeless demon Bugo and Sirène to destroy the Scrander

They manage to damage it before being driven off by Koji’s raygun(just like earthworm jim)

Sirène escapes by taking Koji’s brother Shiro Kabuto and his friend Sayaka Yumi hostage(if she can damage the scrander then how come she cant just tear up Mazinger z? aint they made of similar stuff??)

She then lets them fall from the sky, but they are saved by Devilman

When Koji goes to pick them up, he watches Akira change into Devilman and so learns his secret

Devilman follows the amorphous demon to the sea, but falls into a trap

he’s rescued by Koji in the Mazinger

During the fight Koji uses breast fire underwater to overheat this k9 mechanical beast that Devilman couldn't beat and frees Devilman from an electric net with Rocket Punch

The k9 gets crushed by a big yellow and black striped thing

Afterwards they talk, and Akira reveals to him that he’s a rogue member of the Demon Tribe who fights to protect humanity

The combined forces of Dr. H=ll and the demons attack the Laboratory

Devilman flies to help defend it, but is overwhelmed and captured

He’s taken to some (obviously magical) clouds, where he’s placed on an ice cross and tortured by the demons for being a traitor (what is this? riki-oh?!)

However, as soon as the Scrander is repaired, Koji uses it to fly the Mazinger into the clouds, killing the demons, freeing Devilman and finally destroying the flying fortress

although H=ll and Ashura escape alive. Sirene gets her left head wing cut off by the scrander and falls and gets impaled on a white tree

ahh she'll be ok

After all, Akira survived worse in Devilman:Demon Bird Sirene

Zanin gets cut in 2 with the scrander after tanking a rocket punch and reflecting a koshiryoku beam with his eye nipples

The movie ends with Koji and Akira on good terms, with the two flying off together into the sunset

Shiro wants Devilman to come back but Sayaka sez Devilman is always in their hearts as a hero of justice and courage

Btw, where was Miki Makimura??

Pochi and Alphonse get cameos but she gets zilch?!

The End

That was pretty fun

nice 70s animation thats colored but widescreen

good acting as Japan cares about their performance

kinda like Vic Mignogna

good fights and story

its a simple crossover team up and luke Mazinger Z Vs Transformers or Maoh Dante Vs Getter Robo G, its  kinda "1 shows guys visit the otrher and fight ands sh-=t"

but its a good adventure and pretty fun

This is trhe Batman Vs Superman of Japan

Unlike many things, its not going for a meaningful message on life and society, its just a fun action cartoon like Transformers G1

I ususally only review 1 movie per series, but thgis is a cropssover, so its like the billy the kid movie, the dracula movie, and the billy the kid vs draculka

For Mazinger Z Vs. Devilman II I want the demons to open the gates of =ll with fdr h-lls help and bring back the dead daemons, but this makews Enma Daioh to send both Enma Kun and Enpi Chan to come in to send em bacvk to h e double soviet korea, And they team up with Koji and Akira and after a feew misunderstandings, like Koji trying to b0ne enpi and Emna Kun trying to fight Akira, they team up, but the high rank dead Yokai king who was sealed in the blacklest pits of Jigoku, rises up and E#nma, Enpi, Mazinger and Akira gotta unite to fight it by combining their Yokaio, Demon and Terch aboilities and by pooling their power, share it and get upgrAdes like Mazxinger Armor as a skimpi bikini o Empi and Akira having Emna's cape and hat, Also its a 128 bit beat em up on Sega reamcast, Ga,eCube, PSA2 sand Xbox but is 16 bit style and you play as Akira, Koji Enma and Enpi and up to 4 player fighting Yokai, Daemonsa and enemies and in boss mode, E,mna and Enpi drive their bases that look like people or w/e, Akira goes Devoilman and Koji goes in Mazinger, and the final boss they get a power up and fight a huge boss that takes up a lopt of screen and gotta breat his flesh off until its a daemon yokai skeleton tat breaks to dust with the last blows.
