His size doesn't matter much, Telesdon weighs even more than him and he's been tossed around like a ragdoll by the Ultras. Spacegodzilla's EM tricks are useless against anything but a mecha and he uses his psychic powers like an idiot.
Save the Earth's black hole is so pitifully small that it has more in common with Darklops's portals than anything else. Even if he did just one shot them, the regular Ultraman survived a planet exploding in his face and turning into a star, Belial is far superior to him. Spacegodzilla destroyed planets through unknown means in the manga, even the joke that is Showa King Ghidorah can claim the same. Spacegodzilla never once fought at MFTL speeds, not even in space and certainly not in an atmosphere. There's never any mention of him absorbing an entire star, I assure you. So far, Ultraman and Godzilla's paths haven't officially crossed, and partnerships and battles with or against similar entities are the closest that fans have gotten to a proper team-up or versus story.Do you also think that Bruce Banner is nuke level? Or that the Godzillasaurus is nuke level? Spacegodzilla has sci-fi origins, but that's not a durability feat, it's just science being weird in his world. Jet Jaguar hasn't reached nearly the critical or popular acclaim that Ultraman has, though that doesn't detract from his appearance alongside the classic Toho monster. Megalon is one of the lesser-known Godzilla films, and introduced the fan-made character Jet Jaguar, a size-changing robot heavily influenced by Ultraman. Bemular is most certainly an homage to the King of the Monsters, but those types of respect go both ways between these two particular franchises.
The Kaiju that Ultraman fights, one of his most classic foes known as Bemular, bears more than a passing resemblance to Godzilla, the original's roar and costumes even having been repurposed as Bemular's for the Ultraman series. Godzilla didn't just popularize its own franchise, but the entire Kaiju genre and all of those related to it. The first Godzilla quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, leading to a franchise spanning over thirty feature films, not to mention various television shows, spin-offs, video games, and a long comic book history including books from Marvel, Dark Horse, and IDW Publishing.

As Ultraman runs straight for the Kaiju, his size increases until he is standing just as tall as his enemy, landing a haymaker punch when he meets the monster in the ocean. Shin, still in his Ultraman form, already knows just what to do and in an instant, he has bounded from the rooftop to the streets below. Their fight is one that has been seen before, as well as one that calls back to another classic hero of the genre: Godzilla.įinally back in Tokyo after escaping the waking nightmare that is the Kaiju's prison dimension of Limbo, Kiki is at a complete loss for how they're going to take down a 15-story monster. So far, Marvel's The Rise of Ultraman has been devoid of the kind of Kaiju that tower over entire cities, but all that has changed when a classic Ultraman foe followed Shin Hayata and Kiki Fuji back to Earth from Limbo. The battle between giant robots and massive monsters is one that has raged on for decades, and that fans have come to expect from certain series. WARNING: The following contains spoilers for The Rise of Ultraman #5 by Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom, Francesco Manna, Espen Grundetjern, and VC's Ariana Maher, on sale now.
