Iron King (1972) - Ultra Gaiden

SHOCK. SHOCK. IRON SHOCK. This is Ultra Gaiden, the show where I talk about shows and movies tangentially related to Ultraman, and this one stands out as one of its fiercest competitors. It’s a little bit of Ultraman, it's a little bit of Kamen Rider, but no matter what Iron King (アイアンキング) may resemble, its unique utilization of those elements puts it in a league of its own.
