      There are 2 possibilities I can think of
      1. That could just be another shapeshifting Kaiju disguised as Rodan
      2. Void Ghidorahs whole “reality bending” schtick might affect other parts of the universe, they’re just either not noticeable or no one really cares

    I remember watching Zone Fighter as a kid. My dad had a videotape of the episodes where Godzilla, Gigan, and King Ghidorah showed up. It had no subtitles so I had no no idea what was going on, but I didn’t care. Giant monster fights entertain me both as a kid and now. I was so happy when we got a DVD with all the episodes and subtitles. Cheesy kaiju nonsense is best nonsense. 😄

    Ghidorah survived his battles with Zone Fighter, only to finally meet his demise at the end of Destroy All Monsters, which took place in the future, in 1999.

    • @ConstantineFurman
      @ConstantineFurman 7 місяців тому +6

      And that's the reason Ghidorah survived the show. American fans like to perpetrate this myth that the people who made these things didn't care about continuity, but they absolutely did. But because that care isn't shown onscreen with spelt-out references catering to their mindset, American fans go on about "loose continuity", "they didn't care..." and other such bullshit.

They are especially noticeable in the Buyee sponsor at the beginning of MIB episode 126. I don’t know if there is a video that explains them, but I always wonder how people obtain those cool guys.

      Toho doesn't release their works overseas. Other companies have to license them and do it themselves... and the companies who were interested in releasing "Zone Fighter" in the west were unwilling to pay the exorbitant fee Toho is charging for it. That is, those companies didn't think they could make back their money for what is essentially a niche release.

    Gigan apparently cannot fly in "Zone Fighter" because he's so weak from the thrashing he got in "Godzilla vs. Megalon." At one point during the fight with Godzilla, Gigan does try to fly but he just crashes onto the ground almost instantly.
    The first episode Godzilla appears in seems to indicate that Zone is meeting Godzilla for the first time. They even try to make Godzilla seem scary to him with the editing like he's a third monster that came to beat Zone's ass.
    The Zone Family built the cave for Godzilla to stay in so he wouldn't have to keep swimming back and forth from Monster Island.
    Gigan was planned to return in several unmade Showa Godzilla entries but they all did deal with Gigan being resurrected (or mentioned him being resurrected) in some fashion.

I do hope one day this show gets a international release because this is something both Godzilla and Tokusatsu fans will enjoy. Now obviously the reason the Zone family weren’t in destroy all monsters was because the show wasn’t made yet but im again it makes no sense story wise. But this show does explain what happened to Gigan.
