Design

Super Jikiro looks mostly the same as the original Jikiro, except for a few small differences. These being the large, red, screw-like protrusion from his back is replaced by a curved spine, the spikes coming from his left arm's claw are now colored red, and the four cannon barrels which serve as his right arm's fingers are removed, leaving only holes.

Magnetism

Super Jikiro has extremely strong magnets in his body, specified by Toho Special Effects All Monster Encyclopedia to be 100 times as strong as regular Jikiro's. Super Jikiro was able to attract up to 500,000 tons of metal. Just like Jikiro, Super Jikiro makes circular motions with his hand while magnetizing things, with his hand also flashing.

Anti-Missile Might

Super Jikiro's left hand allows him to absorb Zone Fighter's missiles without them exploding and then using them in his opposite hand for an attack called the Anti-Missile Might.

Magnetic Ray Gun

Super Jikiro's right hand has a four-pronged gatling gun attached to it, capable of firing rapid shots as well as returning Zone Fighter's Meteor Missile Might back at him with his left hand.

Magnetic Ray

According to All Kaiju Kaijin (First Volume), Super Jikiro is able to use the original's Magnetic Ray (磁気光線 Jiki Kosen), which is 10 times more powerful than the original.
