Weird to think how this actually predates Ivan Reitman's Junior movie by a couple of years.
This episode is often brought up in online discussions about the Liveman series, being often considered the most bizarre moment of the show, if not of the whole "super sentai" genre, involving one of the heroes being "impregnated" by a monster.
On paper, the premise sounds absolutely ridiculous. Yet somehow the actual episode managed to be effectively dramatic, delivering a moving message about the value and beauty of life underneath all the spandex suits and rubber monster goofiness.
The baby monster turned out to be oddly adorable, all things considered. And his death managed to be one of the saddest moments of the series.
