>Is practically the second main character of the 70s anime which is why Mazinger became such a massive franchise, having plenty of episodes that focus on her as much as Koji and there being barely any episodes where she doesn't appear at all
>Be nearly as scrappy as Koji in a fight despite being stuck with robots that aren't designed to be anything more than pincushions for mechabeasts so Mazinger doesn't take the brunt of their attacks, often dealing noticeable damage despite having barely any weapons and even managed to take out 4 mechabeasts
>Is one of the more well known and beloved love interests in mecha anime due to being the first of her kind along with having a fun personality to help her stand out compared to other mecha heroines
>Despite this she almost always gets reduced to just being Koji's not-girlfriend in most series that came after the 70s anime
>Her relevance in a battle is even worse in said sequels and remakes and might as well show up with a cheerleader uniform and pom poms instead
>Always gets sidelined hard in SRW with mediocre at best stats and a spirit set that tries to force her to be a supporter, trying to rectify this in a game that doesn't have Mazinkaiser or any duplicates of Z or Great means you have to shaft Koji or Tetsuya instead, and she isn't even allowed to be deployed in T or 30 because of Infinity, will also get shafted again as usual when Grendizer U inevitably appears in another mainline game as the Mazinger rep
>Often gets labeled as being useless by fans, non fans are even worse and will spread their headcanon that she's both useless and a battered housewife who never did anything wrong to warrant getting slapped by Koji even on this very board
I know the name of this franchise isn't Aphrodite A, but this doesn't seem very fair.
