History
Zone Fighter
"Zone Family's Critical Moment!"
Garoga 13, disguised as Hotaru, had been trying to kill the Zone Family by way of numerous schemes throughout the day, but his plans constantly failed. He set a bomb in the hotel room where the Zone Family were staying, but his disguise was foiled by Tsukiko. Garoga 13 began to attack, but Hikaru entered the room and transformed into Zone Fighter, and the two fought, eventually making their way outside. Zone threw the Garoga over a cliff into a crater, but the evil alien transformed into Gilmaras as a final attack. Gilmaras and Zone then clashed, however little effort was required of Zone to defeat the monster.
Abilities
Nose
Gilmaras has a sharp, pointed nose which can be removed and reattached, revealing a cavity out of which fire can be expelled and sucked back in. Gilmaras's fire was able to scorch Zone Fighter. Later in their fight, Zone Fighter plugged up Gilmaras's nose by sticking the pointed end in the hole where it detached. According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), the temperature of the flames reaches 12,000 degrees.[3]
Missiles
According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), Gilmaras can shoot missiles from his torso.[3] This ability went unused in the series.
