| 3 | ''Go! Godman'' is a 1972 {{Toku}} series produced by Creator/{{Toho}}, better known for producing the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' film series. Although a popular misconception would say otherwise, ''Godman'' is not Toho's first Tokusatsu series; That honour goes to ''Series/WarriorOfLoveRainbowman'', which was aired a few years prior. ''Go! Godman'' was followed up by ''Sandbox/GoGreenman'', although the two shows do not share continuity. |

| 5 | Each episode in the series was divided into 3 to 6 parts, which would then be aired throughout each respective week. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Godman later got another appearance alongside Greenman and some of the show's more popular monsters in 2008, when a 28-minute long special was released on DVD, along with numerous episodes of both shows. |

| 9 | [[Manga/LuckyStar Konata Izumi]] sang the show's theme song in the ''Lucky Star Music Compilation CD''. |

| 11 | The series became semi-famous because Godman fought several kaiju from the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise, including: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * [[Film/AllMonstersAttack Gabara]] (Episode 2) |
| 14 | * [[Film/DestroyAllMonsters Gorosaurus]] (Episode 6) |
| 15 | * [[Film/SpaceAmoeba Kamoebas]] (Episode 10) |
| 16 | * [[Film/WarOfTheGargantuas Sanda]] (Episode 16) |
| 17 | * Gaira (Episode 17 and the movie) |
| 18 | * [[Film/LatitudeZero Bat People]] (Episode 20) |

| 20 | !!''Go! Godman'' provides examples of: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Fitting for a superhero called [=GODman=], he gets a boost of power if people cheer him on. |
| 23 | * {{Expy}}: Of Series/{{Ultraman}} |
| 24 | * IntercontinuityCrossover: With Greenman in the movie, as well as several other Toho kaiju in the show |
| 25 | * {{Kaiju}}: All of Godman's enemies |
| 26 | * KryptoniteFactor: If Godman loses on of his bracelets/anklets he becomes week and can't maintain his giant form. |
| 27 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: Given that each episode is divided into a set of parts that were all televised on different days of the week, each monster really did appear over the course of a week. |
| 28 | * SuperStrength: He was strong enough to tear Gorosaurus' jaws with his ''bare hands'', much like how King Kong did in ''Film/KingKongEscapes''. |
