As we know, Godzilla has had many opponents. I will be starting a set of posts about these kaiju and have started with Gigan.
In 1972, Toho produced a film called Godzilla vs. Gigan. Gigan was a strange looking kaiju who had hook arms, a buzzsaw belly, and one eye. This kaiju immediately stuck with me and gained some decent popularity.
In 1973, Toho produced another film called Godzilla vs. Megalon. Gigan made an appearance and fought with Jet Jaguar and Godzilla. The suit for this film was new and had a different appearence.
Shortly after his appearence in Magalon, Gigan again appeared in the show Zonefighter by Toho. Gigan fought Godzilla and was defeated, but rose again to fight the main hero Zonefighter. He was eventually defeated (and likely killed) by this hero.
In 2004, a "final" Godzilla film was produced. Called Godzilla Final Wars, Gigan returned as an evil entity. He was soon defeated by Godzilla, but was repaired and updated with new "hands" and a new head. But this Gigan also would'nt last long.
Well, that ends my first kaiju topic. Who will be next?
