I'd say it's absolutely assured that, yes, Biollante also drew inspiration from Q. Well, that and the Return of Ultraman episode written by the same screenwriter that lays out the template for Biollante nearly twenty years prior!
It's kind of hilarious and frustrating how niche the Ultra series is here in the Godzilla-obsessed States. Like, we don't talk about Akio Jissoji NEARLY enough, even though his nine (unbanned) episodes spread out across Man and Seven are some of the most influential works of tokusatsu. Like half of what people hail as Evangelion's unique stylings are just Anno paying tribute to Jissoji.

In the States, you kind of have the two camps of henshin heroes and kaiju (but mostly Godzilla, sometimes Gamera) and Ultraman is allowed to fall by the wayside. I'm thrilled that these new blu rays are finally getting more folks to take the plunge but it also does kind of underscore that reality.
