His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- While he did kill nearly all of the terror beasts, it was to prevent them from causing more death and destruction since they couldn’t be reasoned with. In fact some of the terror beasts were in fact were either created by multiple Garogas fusing with each other (examples: Red Spark, Detragon, Moguranda, and Grontoguirus) or one Garoga transforming into them (Spyler).
- Similarly, while he did kill several Garogas throughout the show, it was usually out of self-defense and or to protect people as the Garogas repeatedly attempted to kill him and his family and wipe out humanity. Furthermore, most of time, he and his siblings would usually just knock them out or let them retreat.
- Easily passes for defeating each and every one of Baron Garoga’s terror beasts and monsters (including Gigan, one of Godzilla reoccurring and challenging opponents, for good) and preventing him from conquering Earth and the universe and committing genocide on humanity and other races. Additionally, due to appearing in a tv show rather than a movie, he technically defeated way more monsters than Godzilla did. While Godzilla did defeat several alien invaders and evil forces such as the Xiliens, the M Space Hunter Nebulans, the seatopians, the black hole simians, and the kilaaks, none of them were as dangerous as the Garogas who (as stated before) not only threatened Earth but the universe as well.
