According to Aila, the Iron Kaiser, with its immense power, acted as the seal and the control device for the Machine Island's Gravity Engine. Like the Gravity Engine itself, it was powered by a Graviton Reactor. Also, Tsubasa Yuki stated that Iron Kaiser was based on the data of the Mazinkaiser SKL.
Appearance[]
The Iron Kaiser is a red and dark gray colored humanoid robot with a spiked design. The face features a mouth grill and yellow eyes that at times share the same shape as Kiba including the burned eye but only on close ups. It features several yellow colored boosters on its body to allow flight and give it great speed and agility.
Abilities and Attacks[]
As the Iron Kaiser was powered by the same reactor as the Gravity Curtain, it features a near-limitless supply of energy as well as the ability to manipulate gravity that augments its speed and power and allow it to fly as well as ensnare opponents and crush them. It features a flying saucer-like Pilder that can rip through enemies while in the air. Its attacks include:
- Smasher Punch: A Rocket Punch move that launches the forearm at an opponent while propelled by rockets.

History[]
As Garan was battling the Death Caprice Squad piloting the Kaiser, a thought to be dead Kiba infiltrates his palace to confront Himiko for information on the Iron Kaiser. After killing her and finding the robot, Kiba went to fight the Kaiser with the Iron Kaiser, gaining an advantage over them. Unfortunately, the fight caused the Gravity Curtain core to go out of control and seal of the maintenance areas, making turning off the Gravity Curtain impossible. Tsubasa Yuki piloting the Wingle, gave the Kaiser the Wing Cross to fight the Iron Kaiser on a more even level to allow the robot to lead to the Gravity Core so that it could be destroyed. After the Iron Kaiser is held in place, the SKL finishes it and Kiba off with the Inferno Blaster, destroying them and the Gravity Core.
Production History[]
Iron Kaiser is based on a character from Go Nagai's supernatural and sci-fi manga and OVA series Shutendoji. In the series he is a villain who once fought protagonist Jiro Shutendo's biological father, which caused him to become a deadly cyborg bent on revenge. Another Iron Kaiser appears in the Violence Jack manga, this Kaiser was a woman who lost her body with her brain being implanted into a mechanical frame who begins to wander looking for her son Yuu, encountering the Slum King and his men.
