History
Showa Series
Go! Godman
Shilarji was the thirtieth monster to battle Godman. After two kids were tormenting a small baboon in a cage, the cage strangely exploded. When the smoke cleared, there stood Shilarji. He scared the kids off, and they called for their hero: Godman. The two battled for a while and as always they both grew to giant size. After the giant battle, the two shrunk back down again for the final battle. Shilarji nearly won by beating Godman to the ground numerous times, but the hero came out victorious in the end.
Go! Greenman
Shilarji was later re-created in episode 40 of Go! Greenman and was the forty-first monster to battle Greenman. While plotting to defeat Greenman, Tonchiki presented Maoh with his own monster creation. Right before his master's eyes, Tonchiki turned a subordinate of Maoh into Shilarji. Impressed in the creation, Maoh let Tonchiki unleash the monster. Like his first appearance, Shilarji made an explosive entrance from a bush, having been hiding inside a bowling ball that the kids were playing with. The kids called Greenman with the Calls and they fought. Then, they grew to giant size and battled in the city. There in the city, Shilarji was beaten down and finished off by Greenman,
Millennium Series
Go! Godman
Shilarji's final appearance was in the 2008 Godman special. He was spawned from the flesh of Tsunojiras and was first seen in an alleyway where he began to chase Mika Ayase and Koichi Matsushita. Godman then appeared and seemingly defeated the monster before going to battle Gaira. But, unbeknownst to Godman, he survived and followed Godman all the way back to where Gaira was located. There, the two monsters nearly killed Godman by knocking off one of his bracelets and strangling him. Luckily, Mika threw Godman's bracelet back to him. Now fully powered again, Godman freed himself from Shilarji's grip. Mika also managed to find a Green Call in a box that had been knocked over and called for Greenman who fought Shilarji. In another effort to defeat Shilarji, Godman used his God-Circles, but the monster survived again. Godman was finally able to defeat Shilarji using his Super Sonic Wave attack.
