Name

As part of the Zone Family (ゾーンファミリ,   Zōn Famiri), the "Zone" in the "Zone Junior" moniker is shared with his relatives Zone Fighter, Zone Angel, and Zone Great.

Design

Zone Junior's design is very similar to Zone Fighter's, having a silver helmet with and antennae with a blue jumpsuit covered in silver body armor with a red pattern covering the chest.

History

Zone Fighter

Akira and his family survived the destruction of their homeworld, Planet Peaceland, at the hands of the Garogas. He and alongside his siblings, parents and grandfather, boarded the Pandora capsules to become Meteor Men, and escaped to search for a peaceful planet. As they landed on earth, they found the Garogas were planning to annihilate and conquer it as well. So his family decided to live in secret among humans, and fight against the Garoga militaty and their monsters.

Destroy the Terror-Beast Missile!

Akira's older brother, Hikaru, tells him and his sister Hotaru about a red capsule beloning to the Garogas that fell from the sky, from which three Garoga soldiers emerged. Some time later, Akira, his brother and a young man named Junichi took a cab together. Only to find they were kidnapped by a Garoga disguised as the taxi driver. Akira, his family and Junichi were taken to the Garogas headquarters to be executed. Fortunately, he and his siblings manage to free themeselves by transforming into their armored forms, Zone Junior, Zone Fighter and Zone Angel. Together, they defeat the Garoga soldiers without much effort, and free everybody else. After his brother is left exhausted from fighting off multiple Garogas merged into Red Spark, he and Zone Angel board the hidden aircraft Smokey to help him battle against the robot Jikiro. They recharge his brother's energy, allowing Zone Fighter to finish off Jikiro.

Godzilla Singular Point

During the end credits of Singular Point, Zone Junior appears with his siblings Fighter and Angel alongside other civilians, peering up at a building where the kaiju Kumonga was, staring back at them presumedly to fight him.

Abilities

Transformation

Like his siblings, Akira can transform out of his civilian form and into his combat form upon shouting the phrase, Zone Fight Power.

Smokey

When in their combat forms, Zone Junior and his sister Zone Angel are capable of summoning the spacecraft Smokey, which resides in the clouds when not in use. They are both able to pilot the spacecraft and in situations where Zone Fighter is low on energy, they can operate an emergency battery on board to recharge their older sibling.

Regeneration

In Attack, Destro-King!, it is explained that Akira would be able to regenerate his cornea after a week when an accident causes Jiro to need a transplant with Akira volunteering to do it.

Weaknesses

Due to being the youngest of the Zone Family, Zone Junior is the most inexperienced with combat. In Attack King Ghidorah! it is revealed the Zone Family gain their Proton Power from the Sun and if it is covered or blocked out he will weaken and unable to recharge Zone Fighter.
