History
While the Great Mazinger was fighting with the Demonika, Merktes was sent by Great Marshall to take an aggressive action against him with a sword. After that, he then froze him with a cold ray of light. This caused the Great Mazinger to fall into a large body of water surrounded by land which Merktes turned it into ice afterward. Jun and Venus A then came into action, but she was killed by Merktes with his shuriken. After controlling the use to escape with his friend in the possibility of suffering harm, the Great Mazinger came out of the large body of frozen water surrounded by land. After the Great Mazinger produced a hole in Merktes with the help of a destructive blowing apart of him, Merktes was then shot by the Great Mazinger with a thunderous technique. He then used the Mazinger Blade to remove his arms, and Merktes was destroyed by the Great Mazinger with the most powerful fire attack.
