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