[edit] Trivia
 |
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- Like in Godman, Gabara suit was green instead of blue.
- Sanda (with a new head and wig) can eat missiles and spray out a mist which makes people sleepy.
- Gaira like Sanda also has a new head and wig.
- The Gargantua costumes in this show are in very poor condition. Not only do the suits look like they are rotting (despite a new paintjob), but tears can clearly be seen in the legs.
- The Minilla suit in this show is brand new (and looks very cheaply built) and is not an actual suit from any of the Godzilla films.
- The Flasher kaiju (from episode 34) had previously been seen in the show Totsugeki Hyuman. Since Nippon TV co-produced that show, and co-produced this show with Toho, they were able to use the Flasher costumes.
- Like the Flashers, Red Rock, Shibiregon, Zarizon, Spider , Giringa, Gejiru, Stalk, Megahertz, Danbarki,Gyraron and Garmeddeon also appeared on Totsugeki Hyuman.
