The complete rogues gallery of Devil Beasts (maju) that Thunder Mask battled against in his short-lived 1972 television series.

Unfortunately, only eight of the original twenty-six episodes (#1, 3, 6, 7, 12, 13, 19 and 26) featuring these maju have survived to this day (for various reasons, which I've posted about previously). The episodes are available subbed in English on Youtube, but the picture quality is poor as they appear to be transfers from videotape(s) made while the show was broadcast (probably in Hawai'i, hence the English subtitles).

Row One: Concorne, Tirema, Parajudon, Lydon, Samera

Row Two: Hakaider (no, NOT that guy), Boale, Benburn, Drilling, Dorodoron

Row Three: Zaribazaan, Megatron (definitely NOT that guy), Gaebou, Dagon H, Girigorin

Row Four: Derebingu, Battera, Thinnerman, Gatabilan, Genshiron

Row Five: Missiaira, Gastang, Raidogon, Tetsujin 13, Tokagerus

Row Six: Devil Dekanda, Great Devil Bem King, Shooting Star Iron Mask

The last three maju - Vibron, Greeder and Bambos - I believe were planned for the show but the costumes were never constructed.
