Among them was Miki, Jun and Maria. All trapped in the head of the Beast.

Trivia

  • Similar to the Devilman Grimoire manga, the Mazinger Angels series was full of references to past material. Duly so, the Devilman crossover features a major amount of references to both franchises. The plot of the crossover being very loosely structured after the 1973 crossover film. Elements such as the Great Booster, Bugo, the Navalon, Zannin's leadership of the Tribe, Devilman's crucifiction and many of the Mechanical Beasts being taken from it. 
  • Mugaruu's design in the crossover is heavily styled after the squid devil Texsch from the original Devilman manga, most noticeably in the eyes and tentacle breasts.
  • The Minerva X mech uses a flight modification called the "Sirene Mode", allowing her to use air travel. Its used frequently throughout the comics run. 
  • Zannin's Demon Tribe consists almost entirely of demons from the anime series, but has a few strange outliers from the '72 manga including Xeed, Ozott, Urigaros and Btess and even a demon version of Raijin Thunder.
  • Grogos G5 originally appeared in the Mazinger Z manga, during which many of its hostage met a poor end.
