So how do we feel about... (spoilers)

... Our new kaiju bios?

I spent the whole episode waiting for the big text to pop up and was every surprised for that not to happen after so many seasons of it being the norm.

Honestly I rather like it.

Cosmo Liquid & Raiveking

Two of my favourite Kaiju from Ultraman Taro, this pair are from a small sub-group unique to this show called Super Ability Monsters. They are even stronger than Yapool's Choju and possess enhanced abilities.

​

The Giant Liquid Monster, Cosmo Liquid

​

Height: 58 Meters

​

Weight: 60,000 Tons

​

A merciless man-eating Kaiju , Cosmo Liquid's primary ability is being able to shift it's body from a solid to liquid state at will, allowing the monster to hide perfectly in bodies of water and heal any dame done to it while it's solid. It also possesses a long, prehensile tongue. It's only weaknesses are electricity, which forces it to solidify, and being frozen, which is fatal.

​

​

The Regeneration Monster, Raiveking

​

Height: 47 Meters

​

Weight: 65,000 Tons

​

A strong monster with a childish personality and a diserbingly human laugh, Raiveking possesses incredible regenerative powers that allow him to heal from any damage provided his cells can absorb oxygen. He is strong enough to injure Ultraman Taro, who can punch a 30,000 ton Kaiju into space and is also able to unleash powerful streams of fire from his mouth.

​

​

These to Kaiju appeared at a similar time, with Raiveking swallowing Cosmo Liquid and Ultraman Taro in his human form. After sneezing then out, the two Super Ability Monsters began battling eachother and then Taro after he transformed.

​

The pair gave Taro a pretty tough fight he was victorious , thanks in part to the defence force team ZAT. That said Raiveking redirected and began to cause more trouble until the Mother of Ultra assistance Taro in defeating the creature once and for all.

Ultra Kaiju Zoo Ideas.

I was pondering over the concept of an ultra kaiju zoo game and then wondered which Kaiju I'd want.

Here are some made up bios based on kaiju I'd love to have in such a game.

  1. Ancient Monster, Gomora

Height: 40 m

Weight: 20,000 t

Preferred Habitat: Jungle/Wasteland

Diet: Omnivore

Bio: A peaceful kaiju, Gomora is a prehistoric kaiju from ancient times. While relatively easy to care for, when angered this kaiju can cause considerable damage. It's Ultra Oscillation Wave can make short work of buildings.

  1. Skull Monster, Red King

Height: 45 m

Weight: 20,000 t

Preferred Habitat: Wasteland/Mountain

Diet: Carnivore

Bio: An incredibly violent kaiju, Red King always wants to show off it's strength. Without regular combat this kaiju will quickly become bored and even more aggressive. It also loves to throw boulders around.

  1. Freezing Monster, Guigass

Height: 40 m

Weight: 15,000 t

Preferred Habitat: Tundra/Mountain

Diet: Carnivore

Bio: A kaiju often found living on the tops of mountains, Guigass can unleash a Freezing Beam from it's mouth. This kaiju is aggressive and not particularly bright. It's one of the few creatures that can tolerate living in proximity to a Red King.

Height: 45 m

Weight: 40,000 t

Preferred Habitat: Urban

Preferred Habitat: Desert

Preferred Habitat: Aquatic/Jungle

Height: 40 m

Weight: 30,000 t

My Top 10 Ultraman Series

I love every Ultraman series but these are my top 10 favourites of the franchise.

  1. Ultraman Cosmos - No contest for me, I just love it's style, themes and characters.

  2. Ultraman Gaia - While I love Cosmos, Gaia is THE Ultraman show imo. It's never been this good before or since.

  3. Ultraman Leo - My favourite of the Showa era, Leo is a great blend of everything that makes this era what it is, good, bad & bonkers.

  4. Ultraman Arc - of all the Reiwa shows, Arc is the one I always find myself coming back to. It's a great modern attempt at a classic ultra series, with fun battles and likeable characters. It's over all narrative is my favourite of the BAO trilogy.

  5. Ultraman Nexus - A real flawed jem, had it not been for issues outside the series that affected it's production, Nexus would likely be on par with Gaia. Despite it's flaws, and toxic fans, Nexus is still one of the most ambitious series in the franchise and a great example of how more mature story telling doesn't have to be edgy or sacrifice hope.

  6. Return of Ultraman - My second favourite of the Showa era. The show that proved Ultraman had a future and really pushed the development of it's main character.

  7. Ultraman Dyna - Another class and with good reason. Dyna took everything from Tiga and improved upon it. The cast, effect and spectacle are all top notch.

  8. Ultraman X - After the mixed bag that was Ging & Ginga S, X is really when the next Gen era really found it's feet. It might not be the best in many respects but X is a solid show with a lot of stuff I like.

  9. Ultraman Taro - Ultraman at it's most insane and cartoony, Taro was just so much fun.

  10. Ultraman Decker - My very first Ultra show I watched live as it broadcast. It might not be the best but it was a very good show to start out on and a great bounce back from the issues Trigger.

The Mole Kaiju of Ultraman

The Mole Kaiju, Mongula (Ultra Q)

Height: 50 meters

Weight: 20,000 tons

Accidentally feeding on bee larva used in a growth experiment, Mongula was a regular mole that grew to titanic proportions. It terrorised Japan until an assault by the military caused it to burrow deep underground, penetrating the earth's crust. It was belived to have been killed by the released magma.

Mongula has most special abilities beyond what a mole would naturally possess.

​

The Subterranean Kaiju, Mogedon (Ultraman Dyna)

Height: 55 meters

Weight: 50'000 tons

A mole Kaiju that had accidentally swallowed a powerful alien bomb, Mogedon gave Dyna and the Super GUTS team the runaround until it was finally captured, even resisting an electric net.

The eye spots on its body are fakes, only the red eyes on it's head are real.

​

The Underground Kaiju, Mogrudon (Ultraman Cosmos)

Height: 55 meter

Weight: 65'000 tons

A normally peaceful Kaiju, Mogrudon attacked a construction site because of electromagnetic waves it created disturbed the monster.

It uses it's long tail to attack enemies on the surface while it's body remains safe underground. Above ground it used the smiley face like patter on its belly to mesmerise it's enemies.

After being defeated it was moved to Kaburaya Islands where it lived in peace and made friends with other kaiju.

​

The Vision Kaiju, Mogusion (Ultraman Blazar)

Height: 54 meters

Weight: 59'000 tons

A highly predatory Kaiju, Mogusion actively preys on humans. It has a long, prehensile tongue that it uses to catch prey, even using it to fish for humans inside buildings like an ant-eater. It's bladed crest can act like a buzzsaw and fire energy slashes, while it's arms can extend to attack enemies.

It's most dangerous ability comes from the organs in the palms of it's hands. They can produce flashes that stimulate the amygdala, cause the victim to see Mogusion as their worst fear. This ability is used to protect it from other kaiju and paralyse it's prey.

On top of all this Mogusion is also very intelligent and skilled fighter, able to immediately react to, understand, and strategize against opponents. 

​

The Reckless Kaiju, Gedrago (Ultraman Omega)

Height: 56 meters

Weight: 25'000 tons

A pink mole Kaiju that are incredibly sensitive to light, to the point that extended exposure can be lethal, Gedrago almost never comes to the surface except for their mating season.

Male Gedrago have protective horns above their eyes that allow them to be above ground for a time and will periodically do a dance to attract a mate, even when being attacked. They are also very strong and able to build up a powerful electrical charge in their fur, which is then released on contact.

One female was accidentally drawn to the surface by construction work, dying in the process, and a male soon followed, drawn by her scent. With the risk of the male entering a populated area, Ultraman Omega stepped in to stop the monster.

Question from a UK Toku fan

I'm a big Ultraman fan, I've collected the majority of the blu rays, and wanted to try other Toku shows.

Sentai isn't for me and and all the Kamen rider blu rays are geo locked so they won't function even on a multi region player.

I was considering giving Metal Heroes a look in but wanted to know if the Discotek releases have the same issue as the Kamen Rider ones?

I don't wanna waste my money on discs that won't play.

Ultra Kaiju Deities

Kaiju from the Ultraman franchise that are supernatural in origin and worshipped as gods.

Mizunoeno Dragon & Tigris

From Ultraman Gaia, the Kaiju once ruled the world and represented water & earth. The dragon is able to control water, fire energy beams from it's tail heads and use telekinesis.

It could fire powerful electrical beams and, thanks to the military, two giant cannons were accidentally built on its back.

Nijikagachi

An incredibly powerful Kaiju, it is lord of the sky. It can call rain to replenish the parched earth or wash away civilisations with storms. It is also able to fire a powerful rainbow beam from the gem on it's head and has a blade on the tip of it's tail.

Ohebinushi
