Baron Ashura serves as the primary henchman for Dr. Hell, the antagonist of Mazinger Z. In most adaptations, the character is portrayed as a disturbing hybrid of male and female traits, speaking with both a male and a female voice (often depending on which face is displayed on screen). In the original series, Dr. Hell created Baron Ashura from the remains of two mummified lovers, whose bodies were half-crushed when their tomb collapsed.
