Jirahs appears in the original 1966 Ultraman television series, and this roar is widely recognized for sounding like a heavily altered Showa-era Godzilla cry. That connection makes the clip especially popular with tokusatsu and kaiju fans, who use it in comparison videos, monster compilations, and nostalgic edits. Its staying power comes from how clearly it signals classic Japanese creature effects in less than three seconds. Even outside Ultraman fandom, the roar is used as a shorthand for vintage giant-monster mayhem.
About this sound
The monster roar used for Jirahs in the 1966 Ultraman series, recognizable as a modified Showa Godzilla-style cry for kaiju edits and retro TV clips.
This clip is Jirahs' roar from the original Ultraman series, a short, piercing kaiju cry with the rough, metallic texture fans associate with classic Japanese monster films. It has that old-school Showa era punch: loud, dramatic, and instantly evocative of suitmation battles and city-stomping creatures. Because the sound is brief and unmistakable, it works well as a reaction sting in edits, especially when a reveal needs to feel bigger, stranger, or deliberately campy. Even in a tiny burst, it gives a scene vintage tokusatsu energy.
