The Baron Ashura is a Mechanical Beast created by Dr. Hell in the image of his lieutenant Baron Ashura, exclusive to the original manga and is piloted by him/her. A similar Mechanical Beast, the Jetfire P1 exists in the anime but it only has the same face.
Appearance[]
It appears as a giant mechanized version of Baron Ashura. The left side of the body has a darker coloration and squared features; the face has a fixed grin with 'teeth' showing, and the arm has spiked knuckles. The right side appears more feminine with a lighter color, a 'breast' and long tentacle-like fingers. It is adorned with a cape.
Abilities and Equipment[]
The Mechanical Beast is armed with different weapons, the left side uses the spiked knuckles to attack enemies while the right side uses its tentacle-like fingers to entwine opponents. It can also vertically separate from its halves and fly. When separated, both halves use spikes within its body to trap opponents, and when surrounding them it unleashes a massive electric current.
