Filmography[]

Roar[]

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