Zone Fighter/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Badass Decay: Poor, poor Gigan. He's completely stripped of his ability to fly and use his buzzsaw, and is easily shafted in a Curb Stomp Battle.
    • And Godzilla is reduced to being the Team Pet. However, according to Word of God (Jun Fukuda, director of many Godzilla movies and many eps of this series), this Godzilla is not the one in the films.
      • And yet Toho, who is also Word of God, says that the show is canon with the Showa films and that Gigan doesn't show up in any more films because he died in the show. Fans are still disputing whether or not to count the show as canon.
  • Non Sequitur Scene: Being a kids show made in Japan there are a lot, but if one takes the cake it's Zone Fighter jumping into a TV and then appearing over the city the TV was showing being attacked by a monster.
  • Complete Monster: The Garoga.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Far too many to list though fighting King Ghidorah in space has to count as one.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Zone Fighter playing rock, paper, scissors is pretty funny.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The theme song is catchy as all hell and the music for the second fight with King Ghidorah is also pretty damn good.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Just like Varan, Zone Fighter is mostly obscure even to fans but thanks to the internet some fans are shouting for DVD's of the show to be sold out of Japan and some fans are even asking to get Zone Fighter in a game.
  • Special Effect Failure: Common for a show like this.
