History

Return of Ultraman

Zazahn was one of two aquatic monsters that rose from the depths of the ocean along with Takkong. The two monsters battled at once, smashing through nearby structures in Tokyo Bay. During the midst of their fight, a young man known as Hideki Go was killed while he was rescuing lives from the two monsters' destruction. Zazahn and Takkong continued their titanic war, until finally the battle ended with Zazahn being beaten to death by Takkong.

Trivia

  • Suit actor: Eiichi Kikuchi.
  • Zazahn uses sped up Guyros' roars, which in turn are reused Gyaos' roars from the Gamera film series.
  • Zazahn's debut was coincidentally at the same time of the release of the Toho film, Godzilla vs. Hedorah. This is most likely done to bring attention to the serious pollution crisis that was plaguing Japan at the time of the episode's airing.
    • Curiously, Hedorah and Zazahn bear a close resemblance to each other, although Zazahn appears to be made of plants while Hedorah's texture is vaguely plant-like instead.
  • In planning stages, Zazahn's name was Hedra.
  • Zazahn's suit was originally produced by the Toho Special Art Department, but was too hard to move around in and so Kaisei Production remade certain aspects to free it up.
  • Advertisements before the show's airing detailed Zazahn as Seaweed Monster (海草怪獣, Kaisō Kaijū).
  • Zazahn is one of the monsters that makes up Belyudra's left arm in Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie.
