Mazinger Z references

Soundwave's description of Photonic Energy being extremely pure and efficient is precisely why Dr. Hell was so adamant to get his hands on it: powered by Photonic Energy his Mechanical Beasts would be virtually unstoppable. In-universe, Photonic Energy was originally developed by Kouji's grandfather Dr Kabuto as a potent and clean new form of energy.
The appearance of Great Mazinger in the epilogue could be seen as a reference to how Great Mazinger was the direct sequel to Mazinger Z. In fact, Great Mazinger was one of the very first series to ever be a direct sequel to a prior one.
