Belgas V5 (TV)

Belgas V5 is a Mechanical Beast that appeared in episode 27 of the Mazinger Z anime.

Appearance
Belgas V5 is best described as a more demonic version of the Mazinger Z. Its head looks nearly the same as the original Mazinger Z, but has longer horns, eye markings, a demonic face on the chest, and lacks a mouth grill. Most of its body is colored orange and red.

Abilities and Equipment
Belgas V5 can split its body parts separately to attack enemies. It sometimes also uses the saw blades on its arms to slice enemies. Each body part has spikes Imbedded on them which can impale enemies. The demonic face on the chest also can release a supersonic wave.

History
Belgas V5 was sent by Baron Ashura to destroy Mazinger. It first burrowed out of the ground in separate pieces and attacked Mazinger by sending a supersonic wave to disorient Koji. He retaliated by using the Rust Hurricane technique to destroy all of Belgas' pieces except for the head, who fled the scene and later tried to use its drill tip to impale Boss and His Gang but attempted to escape again after Mazinger cached up to it. It was last seen in Baron Ashura's base and was destroyed with the rest of the undersea compound after Mazinger wrecked it from within.

Trivia

 * Belgas V5 was one of the most ruthless mechanical beasts, going as far as to try to kill Koji and his allies directly.

 * Belgas V5, along with Rhine X1 and Holzon V9, are one of the few mechanical beasts that look like warrior beasts.
 * In Tranzor Z, it was renamed "Phoenix B5".
