Added DiffLines:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally the Garogas had nothing to do with Peaceland’s destruction, instead the planet would have died on its own similar to [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Krypton]].
** In addition, Zone Angel was going to have a giant form of her own and a sidekick in the form of a giant stuffed panda called Pandaran.
** Akira was not originally going to be able to transform like his older siblings and wouldn’t have been directly involved in the fight against the Garogas.
** Zone Fighter and Zone Angel’s transformation was activated by shaking hands with each other or another member of their family.
** At one point the first episode was going to feature Godzilla and Gigan.

* AlternateContinuity: Maybe because while Jun Fukuda says the show is not canon with the Showa films, Toho says otherwise. So basically it's WordOfGod vs. WordOfGod.
* CreatorBacklash: Reportedly, director Jun Fukuda refused to talk about the show if asked about it. However he softened up in later years.
