Inktober2023 Day 23-FRANKENSTEIN vs. BARAGON!
-The strangest kaiju film, from Toho Films and the creators of Godzilla, you may never have heard of, but MUST see!!
-At the end of WWII, the living heart of the original Frankenstein monster is brought to Japan to be studied for its regenerative qualities, only to, seemingly, be destroyed during the dropping of the atomic bomb. Decades later, in 60s Japan, a humanoid mutant is found and revealed to have been grown from said irradiated heart! But when he begins growing to colossal size, the misfit monster goes on the run, clashing with the military and eventually, the burrowing kaiju: Baragon!

I love the paper thin nonsense plots in Kaiju movies that exist solely to get two monsters in the same general area and give them an excuse to fuck each other up
King Kong Escapes is about a mad scientist who wants to use King Kong as... Mining equipment?? To sell some random unobtainium to a generic evil military power?? And he also just HAS a giant robot kong??
Godzilla vs Megalon is about some random underground people getting pissed at humans for dropping bombs on their roof. So they sick their pet giant beetle on us? And they're allies of the M Space Hunter Nebula aliens so they just make a phone call and summon GIGAN. Also a scientist just happened to be working on a robotic knockoff Ultraman at the same time?
Frankenstein Conquers the World (Frankenstein vs Baragon) has more bullshit in the opening preamble than most films have in their entire runtime

We Are Paralyzed
There's this Japanese monster movie from 1966 with the enchanting title The War of the Gargantuas. This movie is more or less the sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World from 1965. Maybe one or the other of you knows it. A true classic.
This movie is about a bred giant monster that was once created in a genetic laboratory by super nice and benevolent scientists. In this part of the series, after being presumed dead since the end of the first film, it lives a secluded and peaceful life away from human civilization and in harmony with nature in the green mountains.
And it would probably have done so for the rest of its life if another, almost identical giant monster had not appeared, which people initially mistakenly confused with it. This other monster, however, is anything but friendly, and it certainly doesn't want to live in harmony with nature or even humans. It would rather eat them.
In the course of the movie, the super-nice scientists discover that the new, evil monster is a split-off of their beloved giant monster from the lab, arisen from lost cell tissue that fell into the sea after a battle with the army.
We Are One and Paralyzed are in a way the same as these two cuddly giant monsters, only in exactly the opposite way. The gentle We Are One is derived from the rather aggressive and grueling Paralyzed. And from which lost cell fabric exactly you might ask?
The highlighted links will tell you.

Baragon
Portrayed by Israel Juarbe
Of all the places on Earth, Skull Island seems to be the worst possible place for humanity to end up. This land of chaos and utter carnage is ruled by the most terrifying creatures Earth has ever wrought and would therefore wipe out any trace of humanity's existence on its surface within days of settlement. But the Skull Islands have been colonized by humanity at least twice, first with the ancient Paleolithic civilization known as Tagu and a second millennium later with the ancestors of the Atu, whose descendants are the Iwi and Kawa; all these tribes continue to this day. While the Tagu are fairly advanced societies that could probably defend their empire well enough from the horrors that lurked on the island, the Atu live a simple hunter-gatherer life, with hardly any weapons in their possession capable of warding off even predators. low level. The only reason why the Atus did not have to be wiped out from the island's surface is due to the intervention of some Kaiju who were worshiped as gods. The most prominent of these is Kong, whose mountain looms over Atu's village like the central outpost of a guardian deity, watching the Island for any sign of a threat to his home and his reign. But the titanic primate is not the only defender of the Atu, and in fact is considered one of the four monsters the Atu consider benevolent. Kong himself is considered "The Overseer", watching the lands and skies for threats to his home. The other three overlords are in charge of some other environmental region of the Skull Isles. There is "The Flooder", a beast of the waterways that protects the island against all aquatic threats. However, more relevant to this part of the story are the other two Titans, known as "The Guardians". It is their duty to rule over the underworld of the Island where they drive back the hordes of terrifying subterranean fauna, especially the voracious Skull Crawlers. His handiwork could be seen all over the Island in the form of winding tunnels below the surface and the great chasms and craters left in various geological features as if an extremely hot and powerful force cut through solid stone like paper. These two armored borrowers, along with the beast of the waterways and Kong, are considered the guardians of Atu (although Kong seems to have a larger presence in Atu culture) and have established territories over which they rule, just like everyone else. Alpha Titans that dwell in the depths of the Skull Islands. But while most of these forces of nature are content to live out their lives on this unique landmass, it seems one of the Guardians isn't comfortable doing the same. He has made forays far beyond the island limits before and has been seen on rare occasions on other human-inhabited landmasses. Outsiders know him by many epithets, but the Atu knows his true name. The youngest of the Guardians, the Prince of the Underworld: Baragon...
A prehistoric dinocephalian species, BARAGON belonged to a diverse group of clad, capable of many things, like one can form a protective frill around its neck to shield its head, and another can gather electricity and can turn invisible to the naked eye, but they are all known for what's best, digging. Like Rodan, the Baragon have a bio-volcanic physiology. They live underground, where they feed off of geothermal energy. They uses their large paws and red hot horn to burrow through the earth. Due to their high internal body temperature, they can breathe fire. Baragon are mostly docile, only attacking if provoked. Along with their gentle nature, many people find Baragon appealing due to their cute features. The species that he belongs are ambush predators, lurking below under the Earth, waiting to pounce at any unsuspecting prey, but they are also good parents and will defend their turf with any means necessary. Baragon is one of the earliest monsters that burst from the grounds of the earth.
In old legends, there were the Yamato Guardians, three benevolent Kaiju who protected Japan in ancient times. With special affinity for the terrestrial crust we walk upon, Baragon is physically one of the smallest Kaiju on record, but his connection to the rocks and magma beneath us empower him to achieve greatness on a par with his larger allies.  His small size makes him a tremendous leaper, with graceful aerial combat maneuvers and techniques. When not in the air, Baragon constantly replenishes his energy so long as contact is maintained with the earth. Baragon emits streams of fire from his mouth, and can cause eruptions and earthquakes beneath his feet.  When firmly planted with all four legs upon the ground, Baragon is almost impossible to push, despite his small stature.
1971: After being questioned by Monarch agents, American soldier Frank Wilson was being escorted to a different room when suddenly, rumble vibrations started to occur. Turns out to be caused by yet another monster, Baragon, wrecking havoc around the facility. Fortunetly, Monarch managed to subdue him and contained him along with Kamacuras, but for how long?
Baragon is a biolithic kaiju superbly adapted for a fossorial existence. His hide incorporates various strands of metamorphic and volcanic elements, making him extremely durable and heat-resistant. He is coated in a series of interlocking scales which may be derived from hair-like structures, similar to a pangolin, which allow for a greater degree of flexibility. They are also easily shed and replaced by new growths.
Baragon makes his way through solid stone and bedrock with the aid of his immensely powerful foreclaws and horn-like protrusion on his head. These are also wielded as effective weapons during fights with other kaiju, especially while charging. One of his only softer parts, his ears, seem to play a role in thermoregulation, and are normally folded tightly upon his face beneath his horn for protection. This does not impair his senses, as his eyesight is poor. Instead, he relies on heat-sensing pits along his snout as well as a form of echolocation generated from the horn, which may be akin to a cetacean’s melon. By sending infrasonic pulses through the ground, as well as passively detecting vibrations, Baragon is able to pinpoint targets and locations from many kilometers away.
Baragon is also able to generate large amounts of heat when agitated, and can transfer this heat across his body. This can manifest as a full-body aura of intense heat, which can be used to shake off and immolate smaller opponents and can be maintained for several minutes. A more precise variant of this ability channels the heat specifically into his claws and horn to inflict more damage to larger enemies. He also generates lava-like bile within his body, which burns with napalm-like intensity when vomited forth.
