Submarine Fortress Bood
Even though Ashura is dismissed as Gool's commander, Hell builds yet another sub-aquatic fortress for him, Bood (Kaitei Yousai Buudo) that first appears in episode 43. It had a more typical submarine shape, with a large face on its upper side that could be erected to open its mouth and release the mecha. Bood had torpedoes and other weapons such as restrainer rings and whirlpools. Bood is destroyed during Ashura's final, desperate attempt to destroy Mazinger. It appears in the Mazinger series and Mazinkaiser OVAs.
In Tranzor Z, the American adaptation of Mazinger Z, Bood is called Tiger Shark.

Famous quotes containing the word fortress:
“Man is exceedingly well defended against himself, against being scouted out and besieged by himself, and he is usually able to make out no more of himself than his outer fortifications. The actual fortress is inaccessible to him, even invisible, unless his friends and enemies turn traitor to him and lead him there by secret paths.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
