Introduction

Tetsujin 28-go [Iron Man No. 28] was a Japanese kids' TV series in the early 60's, better known to English speakers under its export name, "Gigantor". It involved a boy who had had been left a giant remote-control robot by his late scientist father and who went on on to use it to thwart assorted poorly-animated villains.

Kingdom of Marabia

One episode featured the Middle Eastern nation of Marabia, in the throes of civil war. The Kingdom used a black flag with a white lozenge.

The marabian rebels used a white flag with thick black bars at top and bottom and a large serif "Z" centered. It is the monogram of the rebels' leader, the disgruntled prince Zahmed.

This "Z" look like a wolf's hook, in german wolfsangel. A common object in german heraldry.

Given the depth (or lack thereof) of the source material, almost certainly a coincidence, though an interesting one.
