Tetsuya is criminally underrated.
He has a more interesting past than Kouji, acts like a proper big bro to Shiro and loves Jun even though she is black. For the time, that's an admirable trait.
His Shin version is even better. It's only fitting that he gets to pilot a good virtuous mecha like Mazin Emperor G.

He's criminally overrated here actually, considering the fact that he's garbage. And I wouldn't consider getting to pilot a mediocre looking robot to be a very good "reward".

Man... Tetsuya fucking sucks.

Which edition of the Great Mazinger manga contains the final fight vs Gordon Hell and the Ankoku movie? I remember seeing some scans on the web and if I remember correctly it featured Nagai's modern style
>>15247636
>He has a more interesting past than Kouji
Which nobody ever does anything interesting with. He just bitches about how he was raised from childhood to be the best Mazinger pilot ever even though Koji is almost as good as he is after a year of practical experience.
>acts like a proper big bro to Shiro
Raping you in the shower is only proper brotherly behavior if you're Clawshrimpy. Since when does Koji need to act like his brother? He IS his real brother. He's not some adopted manchild who needs daddy Kenzo's constant approval.
His Shin version is actually quite interesting, and actually competent for a change too, so it's a shame he's barely in the show and is never ever going to get a starring role in anything again.

I don't know any great mazinger manga with nagai's modern style.

No, the manga is still the same, he just added this part for a new edition, like Ishikawa with Getter Saga.
He's just an angsty faggot.
Also didn'tKenzo die (again)because Tetsuya refused to work with Kouji out of jealousy? That's not what I would call being a proper big bro.
>>15247636
>acts like a proper big bro to Shiro
What!? Kouji gives Shiro a blood transfusion to save his life right after getting fucked up by Mycenean War Beasts and before going off to fight and save Japan again. The fuck else do you want from a big brother?
>>15250960
He had no choice. Otherwise he would have looked like a massive asshole.
>>15250973
You realize that this is Kouji Kabuto we are talking about, right?
Being a massive asshole is basically his hobby.

So much hate. What the fuck did Tetsuya ever do to you? He's just a pro doing his job, and you ass-holes make him feel like shit. He's a human being too you know.
Just because he's adopted doesn't mean he's a second rate pilot.
>>15250989
I am not hating on Tetsuya, but shitting on Kouji to make him look better is not the way, man.
>>15247636
Jun is half black (probably less since her dad was American), so it's only half degenerate and shamefuru
>>15250989
You're right. He's a second rate pilot because he's bad. Though as >>15250855 points out, all he has is practice compared to Koujis actual experience, so you can't hold it against him too much.
