King Kong nursing a teddy bear
Using the Fairy Tale Machine, Arale Norimaki and Gatchan enter a book title The Great Adventure of King Kong, taking the Shiverman with them. There, King Kong catches the Shiverman who is falling from a cliff, saving his life, and adopts him as his child. In the anime adaption, this King Kong is renamed "Queen Kong".
King Kong mocks Kenta
When Kenta Kuraku makes a fraudulent news report, he dresses himself up in a gorilla suit to impersonate King Kong. He attacks small model toys of cars and buildings to make it seem King Kong is attacking a city. However, the real King Kong appears over him and his camera man, casting a large shadow they thought was a cloud. When Kenta watches his news report at home, he sees King Kong mocking his pathetic display from afar.
