THAN-KAIJU-GIVING: God Raiga vs King Ohga (2021)

The third film of Shinpei Hayashiya’s “Deep Sea Monster Series,” this is the sequel to 2009’s Raiga: God of the Monsters.

Raiga returns, rising in Atami Harbor and attacking the city as another monster, Ohga appears to attack him. As the city is destroyed, the defense force launches a new KAMIKAZE as well as a drill tank named Gokumei. As always, the real issue might be the government, who looks at the destruction of the city as a way to make room for a new casino.

It takes so many weapons to take out these two monsters, including pulse weapons, a Gatling Robot, tanks, planes, helicopters, a NI-26 Amphibious Combat Vehicle and a Plasma Photon Bomb that won’t just take out the creatures but anyone near it. Spoiler warning: It also creates a whole new monster, Kuga, which makes its way to Hawaii and a battle with the volcano-generated Dias.

There are moments here where your brain may just give up with all the strobing and colors on screen. There are even scenes where action figures take the place of human beings. This also has dumb government officials — like a comedy version of Shin Godzilla — working with CIA agents that may as well be Ellwood and Jake Blues.

You can watch this on Tubi. You can also buy the blu ray from SRS.
