Gigan (ガイガン,Gaigan) Appeared in the episode Zone Fighter and Godzilla vs. The Terror Beast's
== History ==
==== Zone Fighter ====
After his battles with Godzilla and Jet Jaguar, Gigan found himself under the control of the Garoga Baron aliens, who outfitted his claws with explosive charges. Following a scheme of the Garogas' to trap Zone Fighter inside of a junked car, Godzilla appeared to drive off the aliens, but was met by a Terror-Beast Missile containing Gigan. The rival monsters again locked in combat, Gigan was quickly dispatched, and Godzilla turned to save Zone Fighter who was still in peril. Gigan was, however, merely feigning death, and returned to his feet to attempt a sneak attack on Godzilla. Noticing this, Zone Great summoned Bolt Thunder to halt the cyborg, again flooring him and allowing Godzilla to cut the power to the junkyard's compactor. Godzilla then thoroughly beat Gigan, leaving him motionless after repeatedly slamming him into the ground with his tail, and left the scene believing himself triumphant. Though, this would not be the end of the space monster, who miraculously revived himself. Free from his automotive imprisonment, Zone Fighter grew to giant size to engage the persistent monster in a final duel. After a brief scuffle, Gigan managed to restrain Zone and utilized his upgraded claws to detonate one of the charges against the hero's head. Zone was not fazed for long, however, as he quickly rolled away and destroyed Gigan's remaining explosive with his Proton Beam. No longer possessing the edge, Gigan was bested in combat and, this time unable to retreat, was struck by a finishing blow. Zone standing victorious, Gigan's visor dimmed and his mouth flooded with foam before finally exploding, thus concluding the cyborg monster’s reign of terror once and for all.
== Abilities ==
Gigan is capable of flying at speeds of up to Mach 3 while in Earth's atmosphere and Mach 400 while in the realm of space. The latter is achieved by encasing himself in a diamond, and is the fastest any kaiju in the Showa Godzilla series is capable of traveling, tied with the original King Ghidorah. Gigan's flight normally assists in interstellar travel and is utilized less frequently during battle situations. While using his flight during a battle, Gigan will often engage in aerial slams to continuously topple his opponents without giving them a chance to counter, or even get up. In Zone Fighter, Gigan was fitted with a set of deployable drogue parachutes to slow his speed down upon approaching a battle after being released from the Terror-Beast Missile he was deployed in. 
== Roar ==
Gigan's roar was reused for the choju Barabas from Ultraman Ace. .
