===Development=== |
|||
During the production of the [[Ultraman (1966 TV series)|first Ultraman series]], [[Eiji Tsuburaya]] considered [[Ultraman (character)|Ultraman]] to face off against an original monster for episode 10; however, due to the show's minimal budget, Tsuburaya and his company decided to create an entirely new monster instead. Jirahs' head was the reused Godzilla head from ''[[Invasion of Astro-Monster]]'',<ref name="ImmortalUltraman"/> and Jirahs' body was a diversion of the Godzilla suit used in ''[[Mothra vs. Godzilla]]'',<ref>{{Cite book|title=ウルトラマン 全調査報告|date=December 20, 2012|publisher=[[Kodansha]]|isbn=978-4-06-218128-0|location=Tokyo|pages=52–53}}</ref> with [[Toho]]'s approval.<ref name="ImmortalUltraman"/><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/244297851|title=ウルトラ怪獣列伝 ウルトラマン・ウルトラセブン編|date=August 18, 2008|publisher=PHP Institute|others=Burein Nabi|isbn=978-4-569-67071-3|location=Tōkyō|pages=50–51|oclc=244297851}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=別冊映画秘宝ウルトラマン研究読本|date=January 2, 2014|publisher=Yosensha|isbn=978-4-8003-0262-5|location=Tokyo|pages=70–71}}</ref> The dorsal fins and parts of the suit were sprayed yellow, and a large yellow frill was added to disguise the connection of the head with the body.{{sfn|Ragone|2007|p=119}} |
