"Mazinger Z: Infinity" is a 2017 anime film that serves as a continuation of the classic "Mazinger Z" series, set a decade after the original storyline. The narrative centers on Koji Kabuto, now a scientist, who has moved on from his days piloting the giant robot Mazinger Z. The world has enjoyed peace since the defeat of Dr. Hell and his mechanical beasts, but this tranquility is disrupted when a massive structure, later revealed to be the remains of the original Mazinger Z, is discovered buried deep beneath Mount Fuji. The discovery coincides with the emergence of two mysterious women, Lisa and Liza, who possess advanced technology and knowledge about Mazinger Z.

As Koji investigates the structure, he learns that it holds a new, more powerful version of Mazinger Z, known as Mazinger Infinity.
