Gigan's onomatopoeia?

Post by GmkGoji »

What does Gigan's onomatopoeia sound like? I think it sounds along the lines of "SKREEEEERNK!" But I don't know for sure.

*EEEEAAAR*
*REEE*
*EEEH* (when his head explodes)
and *RAAAAEEEEERRR* (during the tag team moment between it and Monster X against Godzilla and Mothra)
respectively, as far as my ears hear.

Well, at least we now know how to spell the sounds coming from that one classroom in school.

I'd say "Skreeonk" since i never really heard Godzillas roar as the "SKREEONK" that he's so associated with, that always sounded more like Gigan to me.

Godzilla's was more of a "ERRRRAAHHHHERRRAH"

The official onomatopoeia from the IDW comics is "SKEEEURRNT".

The Japanese manga I am currently translating (more on that in a few weeks) lists Gigan as:
ZU-ZU-GA------N.

Imagine the Zuzu as the buzzsaw noise, and then the Gaaaaaan as the screech.

I think he meant to say "how do you transliterate Gigan's primary call?"
