History
Boss was the bully at the local high school attended by Mazinger pilot Kouji Kabuto and his best friend/romantic interest Sayaka Yumi. Jealous of the fact that Kouji got to be so close to Sayaka (with whom Boss had been friends for quite a while already), and that he was honored as a hero for saving the day with Mazinger Z all the time, Boss hatched a plan. He and his friends Mucha and Nuke sneaked into the Photon Power Laboratory and used toy guns to hold some engineers hostage, ordering them to build him a robot so he could be a hero too. Unfortunately for Boss, the engineers didn't have much to work with. As a result, his self-named Boss Borot ended up being made from scrap metal.
Regardless of its obvious flaws, Boss would use Borot throughout the battles with Doctor Hell's minions, gradually learning to respect Kouji and becoming a valued member of the Mazinger team. Even as the group changed over the years, Boss would remain a member of the team, aiding Tetsuya Tsurugi in his battles with the Mycenae and even showing up to help Duke Freed fight the Vegans. In Mazinger's saga, Boss Borot is able to destroy for himself a mechanical beast, Serpenter Ι6 (chapter 75).
