| In 1966, when treasure hunters from Japan traveled to an island in New Guinea and stole an opal one of their buddies found there during World War II back, they had no idea what they were in for. They soon find out that the opal is not what it seems and on the way home from the island on a ship, the opal is exposed to an infrared ray being used to treat athletes foot on one of the treasure hunters. The ray’s radiation caused the opal to hatch and mutated Barugon, causing him to reach adult size within hours instead of the ten years that it should take. Once the ship docked in Japan, Barugon emerged from the boat and began his rampage across Japan. Missiles, fighter jets, and tanks were used against him, but Barugon's icy mist froze everything in his path and his rainbow ray, which brought Gamera to the area due the heat it gives off. Gamera and Barugon get into a brief battle, which ends with Barugon freezing Gamera with his icy mist and leaves him for dead as he continues his path of destruction. The JSDF attacks Barugon again, but still nothing works. They even try using a large diamond brought by a native girl from New Guinea to attract Barugon to Lake Bewa and drown him, but it fails. The JSDF next decides to immobilize Barugon with artificial rain while they built a huge reflective mirror to reflect Barugon’s rainbow ray back at him. Once the giant mirror is constructed, the JSDF fires on Barugon, forcing him to attack with his rainbow ray, which is reflected back at him, severely injuring him, but the mutant kaiju survives. However, Gamera soon reappears, having thawed out from his previous battle with Barugon and makes short work of the quadruped kaiju, grabbing him by the throat and dragging him into a lake where he soon drowns. | |
