Episodes that stuck with you from childhood

Probably misspelling the names of the monsters...

1. The 2-parter with Gohora. Ultraman nearly gets his butt handed to him. And Gohora's detached tail flopping around on its own.

2. The monster that came to life after the child drew it on the concrete.

3. Jumila, the astronaut who mutated into a tragic monster upon his return to Earth.

4. There was an episode with an invisible spaceship. I remember the Science Patrol demonstrating how colors on a pinwheel blended into white when the wheel was spun.

5. Fuji growing into a giant, knocking down buildings.

6. The cacao bean monster... the only one who loved chocolate.

I have the DVDs, but still need to watch all the episodes again.

Actually the episode with Jamila is the same episode with the invisible spaceship and pinwheel demonstration.

The episodes with Gohora and Gavadon were episodes that stuck with me too. Additionally, the episodes the the Baltans, the Dada, and the Mummy & Dodongo were ones that stuck out in my memory as a kid.

The Kaiju that stuck out the most for me were Gahora, Gabora, the Baltans, Bullton, and Pestar. For Gabora, Bullton and Pestar, I remembered the kaiju but nto really the full story lines of the episodes, while with Dada and the Mummy & Dodongo, I remembered more the story than the uniqueness/appearance of the monsters themselves. I do remember that I had kind of liked Dodongo as a kaiju design, but could not actually remember what he looked like decades later before I got to see the epsodes again.

I always remembered the 'Godzilla' monster with the added 'fin/hood/collar' around the head. Cuz it weren't long before Ultraman ripped it off and then you were essentially watching Ultraman fight Godzilla.
I always remember Ultraman putting the fin back on and bowing to the dead 'Godzilla' out of respect. I always remember that when I see Bruce Lee do basically the same thing to Chuck Norris in 'Return of the Dragon'.

And of course, the Baltans. I loved how crazy weird they were. Are they bugs? Are they organic? Are they metal? I loved how they were smart too. They weren't just brute force thrashing about.

In case your questions about the baltans was serious and not rhetorical, they were organic. They were aliens who were normally microscopic in size but seemed to have the ability to change size. Supposedly, they destoryed their own world with nuclear experiments or something like that; hence their desire to take over earth.

The 2 I remember was those kids drawing monsters and they came to
life. They just went around and just went to sleep without damage
to anything . Ultraman destroys one . He does not destroy the others
just put them up in the stars .

And Fuji growing into a giant walking around those buildings
