King Ghidorah's Counterattack! (キングギドラの逆襲！ Kingu Gidora no Gyakushū!?) is the sixth episode of Zone Fighter, and the second of a pair of episodes revolving around Zone Fighter's battle with King Ghidorah.
Plot[]
While luring King Ghidorah towards Venus, Zone Fighter loses radio contact with the Zone Family and notices Ghidorah has disappeared. Upon realizing that without the Proton Barrier the house is defenseless against the Garoga, Zone Fighter hurries back to Earth to find the family has been kidnapped. In the Garoga`s secret base, the Zone Family are being held with the Garoga Packs as they await their death sentence! Discovering the Garoga base from the air using the Mighty Liner, Hikaru comes to the rescue of the Zone Family just in the nick of time! After returning the Proton Crystal to Raita, Hikaru receives an urgent call from Takeru asking him to come to the research institute. As Hikaru, Hotaru and Akira arrive, they witness a number of cars floating in mid-air above the institute -- the work of King Ghidorah! After Hikaru transforms into the giant Zone Fighter and safely returns the cars and their occupants to the ground, he is confronted by Ghidorah for the second time. Meanwhile, Hotaru and the others evacuate the research institute, safely removing the Blue-Green device. In the midst of the battle, one of Ghidorah`s gravity beams hits Zone Fighter in the face and causes him to go blind. Unable to continue the fight, Zone Fighter reverts to his human form, while King Ghidorah destroys the research institute. Later at the Sakimori`s home, Raita is successful in restoring Hikaru`s vision. Afterwards, he suggests the family use the Pandora Capsule to aid Zone Fighter, providing cover as he lures King Ghidorah to Venus once again for their final showdown. Although Zone Fighter is unable to destroy the monster, a weakened King Ghidorah flees into space.

Trivia[]
- "King Ghidorah's Counterattack" is also a translation of the Japanese title of the unmade 1992 film The Return of King Ghidorah, the only difference being the lack of an exclamation point.
- King Ghidorah manages to escape Zone Fighter, a feat that very few monsters in the series managed to pull off. This was likely to maintain continuity with Destroy All Monsters.
