I cannot find an instance of maz-z using a sword, nor can I find him making his fists and forearms bigger, just wondering why they made as accessories and were put into the release of this toy? can you guys point me in the right direction of an episiode where it was used? i also searched on maz ingest wiki and found nothing...

Sure we can. Let's start with the easy one: the bigger rocket punch. It is actually used in an episode of the Mazinger Z anime, in which Maz looses his rocket punch in battle, and at the photon lab it gets "upgraded" with a stronger version, a black forearm with a golden bracelet and silver hand, capable of delivering a more devastating blow to the opponent. Don't know if it was used in other instances (say, in the last Mazinger animes) but the first time it appeared was in the original 70's Toei one. As for the sword... Mazinger Z never uses a sword in the show. Only recently I saw a scene were he does, but it is in the Mazinger Z manga: with Koji surrounded by enemies, Tetsuya comes to help him with Great Mazinger, and passes one of his Mazinger Swords to Mazinger Z. Maz the grabs it and slices its way through the kikaijus with the blade left him by the mysterious ally. That's the only scene in which I saw Mazinger Z holding a sword, honestly. My knowledge of the Mazinger universe is limited though, maybe it appeared elsewhere as well...

My knowledge of the Mazinger universe is limited though, maybe it appeared elsewhere as well... Ehem... let me clarify this a bit. Mazinger Z NEVER uses a BIGGER Rocket Punch, NEVER! Mazinger Z gets a temporary Reinforced Rocket Punch to defeat one of the enemies in one episode (#54), but it is the same size as the regular Rocket Punch. Later the regular Rocket Punch is already reinforced without looking any different than they did originally. Mazinger Z uses a sword in the Mazinger Z vs Ankoku Daishigun OVA, never in the anime. }D

I think it was... the 30-something or 40-something episode... but I watched it many months ago, so I don't remember too well Yes that is the punch! The reinforced one, called also "kyoka-kata rocket punch". Also, TMZ? You scared me for a moment, I thought you were shouting at me, then I realized I never used the term "bigger" in my post phew. So the sword was used in the OVA as well huh? It's a Great Mazinger's weapon anyway, so if Mazinger Z is using it it's just because he borrowed it from his "big brother". Or... found it lying on the ground. Either works.

Maz was nearly Owned in episode #92, until Great Mazinger came to the rescue. But that's okay. Badass heroes die hard with Honor. zozo-mag

Later the regular Rocket Punch is already reinforced without looking any different than they did originally. Mazinger Z uses a sword in the Mazinger Z vs Ankoku Daishigun OVA, never in the anime. }D The enemy robot in that episode was Jeiser-J1, the three-headed "turtle" with the unbreakable shell. Mazinger's kyokakata rocket punch was designed for the purpose of defeating that kikaiju, and that episode (#54) was the only time such a weapon was used. The reinforcement for his regular rocket punch happened later on, which would become the " mega-swing" rocket punch... ...It's the regular rocket punch. This time its launched from a greater momentum by Mazinger rotating his arms (like a softball pitch) at a very high speed and releasing the punch to deliver a more powerful impact. The armor for this weapon attack had to be reinforced to withstand such a high impact while destroying the kikaijus who were becoming more powerful at this point in time. zozo-mag
