Tsunojiras in the Go! Godman film

In this special film created to celebrate the anniversary of Go! Godman and its followup series, Go! Greenman Tsunojiras is first seen attacking a city, with the threatened area now being Tokyo. Godman is then called to protect those threatened by the monster's attack, but, Godman gets heavily beaten down by the monster. Luckily, the hero defeats Tsunojiras using his God-Crush and God-Spark after a long and drawn out fight and much encouragement from Koichi Matsushita. Little did the hero know, Tsunojiras's body was split into multiple parts and create two more monsters.

Tsunojiras later reappeared in the Battle Royale at the end of the film, assisting Gaira, Jilarji, Green Mask and Kappalge, but was defeated again.

Roar

In Go! Godman, Tsunojiras' roars are borrowed from the Ultra Kaiju Zambolar, whose roars are in turn made from combined Godzilla and Gamera roars. In the Godman film, Tsunojiras shared his roar with Varan and the Showa Baragon. In Go! Greenman, Tsunojiras reuses Arstron roars. Concidentally, Arstron is another monster who bears a vague similarity to both Godzilla and Tsunojiras.
