Trivia

  • Due to the limited budget, Toho used monsters that were seen in many of the Showa films, with their suits being reused for the show. These monsters included Gaira and Sanda, Gabara, Gorosaurus, Kamoebas and one of the Bat Men which was turned into his own character, Bat Man. The monsters Tsunozillas, Shilarji and Yasugon were also reused from the 1971 series, Chibikko Special where they were enemies of the show's mascot monster, Terra Incognita.
  • Often, the suits for the returning monsters were in bad condition, and some were extensively repaired.
    • Gaira and Sanda's suits received new masks.
    • A large cavity is easily observable in Gorosaurus' chest. The suit was so deteriorated he was permanently retired afterwards.
    • Gabara lacks his trademark ginger hair, his eyes appear to have a more confused expression, and his skin is a darker shade of green.
  • Throughout the series, several of the original monsters' suits were also altered and reused.
    • Kinger shares the suit of Wolflar from the neck down, the latter having a different head and added hair on its body.
    • Kinger's head had its eyebrows removed and hair added to the top to become Madalan.
    • Volpes' lower half appears to have been repainted and attached to a new upper half to portray Alien Tiborus.
  • Aya Hirano, as Konata Izumi from the anime Lucky Star, sang the Go! Godman theme song for a Lucky Star music compilation CD.
