Boss Borot

Boss Borot

Boss Borot (ボスボロット, Bosu Borotto?) is a fictional mecha from the anime and manga series Mazinger Z, first premiering in episode 48. Within the story, Boss Borot was created by three engineers from the Photon Power Laboratory and piloted by Boss and his cohorts Mucha and Nuke. Boss Borot (and Boss himself) serve as the comic relief in Mazinger Z, a role they would continue to play through the Mazinger timeline, reappearing in Great Mazinger, Grendizer, the OVA Mazinkaiser and most recently in Shin Mazinger. The latter part of its name comes from the Japanese phrase for "crumbling" (ボロボロ, boro-boro?) in reference to its construction from scrap metal.
