At the end of a fierce death battle, instead of losing the firearm by being caught up in the explosion of the ammunition defeated Ganyme, the monsters fear the ultrasonic waves emitted by bats and dolphins because of Riko's memory recovery. Knowing this, they will spend time hiding in the cave where bats live. However, because Kobata parasitized by space creatures ignited gasoline and fire in the cave to burn bats and killed them, a second crab and a giant turtle , **Kamehiba** , appeared, so the whole group was extinct.

### U.S. release

G.G.A.K.G.D.G.M.O.T.S.S was released theatrically in the United States in 1971 by American International Pictures, under the title *Yog, Monster from Space*. Producer Fumio Tanaka speculated that the title was chosen in reference to the cosmic entity Yog-Sothoth featured in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The film was lightly edited, running three minutes shorter than the Japanese version. The English dub was recorded by the New York City-based studio Titan Productions. This version was produced by Salvatore Billitteri, edited by Eli Haviv, and directed by Helen Gary. In June 1972, the film played at the Toho Theatre in Honolulu, Hawaii, in Japanese with English subtitles.

The voiceover narrating the Helios-7 countdown was recycled in the U.S. release from Toho's export version, dubbed in Hong Kong. The possibility of reusing the audio for that sequence was noted in the dubbing script. The audio for this version was synced to the Japanese visuals and first heard in the U.S. on Voom HD Networks' Monsters HD satellite channel, followed by a 2006 DVD release from Media Blasters.
