| Gigan, a cyborg kaiju, first came to Earth along with King Ghidorah under the control of the cockroach aliens from Nebula Space Hunter M in order to conquer the Earth. The two space monsters were to destroy all human life, so that the cockroach aliens could take over and repopulate the planet for themselves. Gigan and King Ghidorah were sent to Tokyo to begin the destruction of Earth, but were confronted by Godzilla and Anguirus. Anticipating Godzilla’s interference in their plans, the aliens had the space monsters lure Godzilla and Anguirus to their base, the new theme park dubbed “Children’s Land”, where they had erected a tower that resembled Godzilla. Gigan and King Ghidorah succeeded in luring them two monsters to the base and Godzilla was nearly killed by the destructive weapons within Godzilla Tower, but the JSDF managed to destroy the tower, saving the Monster King. Gigan and King Ghidorah then attacked Godzilla and Anguirus once again, but were soundly defeated by the two Earth monsters, sending both space kaiju fleeing into space. A year later, Gigan returned to aid the monster Megalon in battle against Godzilla and Jet Jaguar. The space cyborg and his new partner actually came close to defeating Godzilla and his new ally, but were eventually defeated by them and send back into space once again. | |
