The series is considered partially lost. It is belived that Tatsunoko Productions has every episode, but this claim is uncertain. Most episodes of this series were found via Brazilian airings, either on youtube or bootleg DVDs, but missing their original japanese audio.
Manga
The manga was launched first as Onboro Kaijū Kuzura (オンボロ怪獣クズラ Wacky Monster Kuzura) on March 13th, 1966 in the Weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine, the first chapters with that name had different character designs, then after some chapters the designs were changed and the name of the manga was changed to Oraa Guzura Dado. Volumes and re-releases of the manga are available to buy in amazon and some Japanese sites despite that no re-releases of the original "Onboro Kaijū Kuzura" manga exist. Different users usually post photos of the manga[2] but never released the original chapters in any way. Chapters of the manga that were serialized on magazines apart from Weekly Shōnen Sunday were not re-released.
1987 Anime
This series has aired between October 12th, 1987, and September 20th, 1988, and was composed of 88 segments (44 episodes; 2 segments per episode). This was a color remake of the original series. Most of the scenes were fully redrawn, however they were often drawn over the original frames. This series was dubbed in various languages, including Arabic, Italian (1 episode found), French (only a clip found) and Hindi.
Status
Majority of dubs are lost. The original Japanese dub was considered lost until around April 2020, when the series has been legally released on Amazon in Japan[3]. Almost every episode is available on the internet dubbed in Arabic[4], with the exception of episodes 33 and 36 which weren't included by the Arabic dub, likely because of their content, since one of the segments in those episodes "Guzura and Lucifer!" is said to be about Guzura dying and, going to hell. Some people, back when the episode has aired, mistook that as the final episode.
