** Here's some Fridge Horror. Whoever decided to stand up the main MAC base in a space station (as opposed to establishing a detachment or small outpost there) DID know that at least one space station had been destroyed by aliens for each of the previous three teams (MAT, TAC, and ZAT). MAT lost two: one to Bemstar, and another to the Nackle aliens. TPC (the higher-ups for these teams) knew the danger inherent in space stations as military bases and yet did nothing to protect their soldiers or come up with alternative plans (i.e subterranean bases like the Ultra Garrison had back in the day). Dan Moroboshi certainly knew the risks; he must have witnessed or have heard first-hand accounts of these alien attacks.

* MagnificentBastard: While not combat efficient like his father Alien Baltan Jr. is surprisingly intelligent. He sets up his base at a construction site, tries to bait Jiro to investigate the building, (It’s his friend who does instead but has the same effect), and kidnaps said friend to lure MAT to investigate. When they do, he traps them in the robot he secretly created around the building, having them as hostages so Jack can’t fight it. The only reason his plan fails is that before the friend was kidnapped, he told the construction crew that a wall in the building was different to the blueprints which [[SpannerInTheWorks caused them rebuilt that wall, having it be made of weaker material]] which gave them an opening to escape.

** Ghostron similarly was just minding its own business it's only became a threat because MAT accidentally put a timed bomb into it tail.
** Zagoras just wanted to go home, his method for leaving Earth was to transform a bit of land where humans were living into a meteorite but Jack could have easily just given him a lift.
** When MAT finds Kupukupu their instinct is to immediately blow it up because it's from space. It comes back as a giant monster but it's understandable why it's pissed.

Involves a monster named Mogunezun consuming copious amounts of mustard gas canisters that were dumped illegally by the Imperial Japan military. Kishida, who takes great pride in his family discovers that his father was involved in the experimentation of the mustard gas which shakes him to his very core and eventually becomes obsessed with making up for his family's past by taking out the monster. Considering Japan still has trouble acknowledging the sins there country did in World War II the episode still packs teeth.

*CompleteMonster: [[EvilGenius Alien Nackle]] ("Assassin Alien") is a sadistic and brutal alien invader. Learning of Jack's human host, Nackle would gleefully have his best friend Ken Sakata run down by a car while Aki, his sister and Goh's girlfriend, is ForcedToWatch. Aki herself is then murdered [[WhatADrag by being dragged behind the same car]], all in an attempt to emotionally break Goh. Releasing his monster [[DumbMuscle Black King]], Nackle would have the monster restrain Jack while the alien spends several minutes brutally beating the hero unconscious, before parading his battered body around Japan, then back to his home planet to be executed. Nackle then has MAT brainwashed and forced to capture one another, before trying to have them execute Goh when he escapes back to Earth. When finally mortally wounded, Nackle dies laughing in Jack's face that his final weapon will [[TakingYouWithMe take all of Japan with him]]. Despite his defeat, his near victory would loom over Earth for the rest of the series by inspiring many other aliens to try their hand.
