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:
“He began therefore to invest the fortress of my heart by a circumvallation of distant bows and respectful looks; he then entrenched his forces in the deep caution of never uttering an unguarded word or syllable. His designs being yet covered, he played off from several quarters a large battery of compliments. But here he found a repulse from the enemy by an absolute rejection of such fulsome praise, and this forced him back again close into his former trenches.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
