In fiction

Pipijuras attacks Tokyo and overwhelms the city's defender, Thundatross. The battle destroys part of Sho's apartment, allowing the retired human form of Gigaman to witness the battle. Though apprehensive about aiding Thundatross due to his disastrous defeat against Rawa eight years prior, Sho eventually concedes to Gaya and transforms into Gigaman. Pipijuras attacks Gigaman but is swiftly defeated, though the hero tells Thundatross's pilot Yuuki Otoma that his aid was a one-time occurance. (GigaBash)
