Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2
|
Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2 (スーパースペシャルスペースゴジラハイグレードタイプ2 is a space Sūpā Supesharu Supēsugojira Hai Gurēdo Taipu Tsū)kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1997 Godzilla series, Godzilla Island.
Name
Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2's name is naturally derived from that of SpaceGodzilla's but combined with various words and terms which show his status as a superior or successor to SpaceGodzilla. "High Grade", notably, is also a name used for a line of Bandai gashapon figures which has released Godzilla sets since 1994.
Design
Naturally, Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2 strongly resembles SpaceGodzilla, but with a different coloration: he has golden shoulder crystals and white-and-light-blue dorsal fins.
Personality
Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2 is an evil pawn of the Giant Dark Emperor, the leader of the Xiliens. He shows extreme hostility to Godzilla, like many of the other Xilien pawns in the series, but also seems somewhat eager to retreat once he suffers injuries, being dismissed by Randeth as a "cowardly monster".
Origins
It is ambiguous whether Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2 is the first SpaceGodzilla in a new physical body or a separate being, though the description of him as "the real SpaceGodzilla" implies the former explanation.
History
- Godzilla Island (TV 1997-1998) [episodes 191-198]
Godzilla Island
Sometime in 2097, the monsters of Godzilla Island began to get very ill. The last time the monsters had acted like this had been when the spirit of the dead SpaceGodzilla had possessed Godzilla and had used him as a physical way to attack the monsters. Fearing the spirit of SpaceGodzilla might be returning, Beisuke Jinguji ordered pictures be taken all across the island. He hoped that the ghost of SpaceGodzilla might show up on film, just as he had before. However, nothing was discovered in the pictures taken. In physical form again, SpaceGodzilla had grown much stronger, now with golden shoulder crystals. SpaceGodzilla fought Godzilla, but even with his new abilities, he was forced to retreat back into space after losing his left shoulder crystal to Godzilla while battling. It is unknown where Super Special SpaceGodzilla went after he retreated.
Abilities
Corona Beam
Super Special SpaceGodzilla is able to fire a red Corona Beam. It is powerful enough to elicit roars of pain from Godzilla.
Physical abilities
Super Special SpaceGodzilla proved himself Godzilla's superior in physical combat, throwing him to the ground after briefly wrestling with him and then stepping on and kicking his head.
Weaknesses
After being distracted by an illusion of a colossal Godzilla, Super Special SpaceGodzilla had his left shoulder crystal destroyed by Godzilla. A subsequent blast of atomic breath led him to retreat to outer space.
