The show sadly had [[ShortRunners a short run]] that failed to conclude the conflict between the Zone family and the Garoga due to the 1973 oil crisis and low ratings making it too expensive to produce. While the series has been criticized by many as a [[FollowTheLeader copycat]] of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', it has gained attention in later years for having Godzilla, Gigan, and King Ghidorah make guest appearances on the show. And as a 70s Showa era kids' {{Toku}} series, there are many silly moments in the show juxtaposed with surprisingly brutal FamilyUnfriendlyViolence. You haven't lived until you've seen Zone Fighter [[CruelAndUnusualDeath rip out a monster's eyes, cut off its arms, shoot off its head, and then fly its corpse into space just for cheating in ring toss]]. There's a lot of MonstersOfTheWeek so you'll rarely see the same kaiju twice, especially given what happens to said monster.

Removed one greenlink (couldn't find a trope the example fit); fixed missing italics and an incomplete link in another example.

Added a trope (interquel) because the show takes place between two Godzilla movies, even canonically killing off a character from the former.
