Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 4)
I think the philosophy of Manda's design is "what if we made a centipede out of the parts of various sea creatures?" and I have to admit its an interesting approach.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 4)
Cool. I wonder if that's how they'll make Manda function better on land.
Anyways, Episode 5 debuts in 2 and a half hours. I really want/need things to pop off. An ideal episode for me would be:
Spoiler:
I'll throw out a wild prediction, but I think Godzilla Ultima will appear in full in episode 7.
Episode 5 starts in a few mins. See you guys on the flipside.

I just read the plot synopsis on English Netflix (for some reason it has the synopsis in English. Yes, the monster isn't Gabara. It's official name is called "Salunga". This also lines up with a copy right leak a few months back.BennettCommando wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 7:50 amLSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 7:26 amCool.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 4)
So thats clearly proof that just because the name of the monster is different that doesn't make it a new monster, right? "Salunga" is obviously Gabara, Aquatalis has enough similarities with Titanosaurus that I don't think it should be ignored (all respect to those who do). It's like the difference between Spiga and Kumonga, or Anguirus and Anzilla. Minya and Minilla.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 8:02 am

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 4)
Just because something looks like a duck, doesn't mean it's not a goose or swan. From what I've seen, Salunga/Sarunga bears enough differences to justify not actually being named Gabara.Shoopwoop17 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 8:24 amSo thats clearly proof that just because the name of the monster is different that doesn't make it a new monster, right?

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 5)
It's pretty obvious at this point that Aquatilis and Salunga are just suppose to be SUPER obvious homages to Titanosaurus and Gabara.. almost to the point i wonder if it really was meant to be them but they could only get the rights to so many monsters for some reason.

Ngl, the Mandas are so long. Since we are getting multiple, I wonder what they are after. Are they after Godzilla or something?

Someone has a theory that they're all just combining and not 'fighting'.

Odd how it’s not Gabara but Salunga
Are people gonna start bitching about how it’s not actually Gabara when it’s very clearly supposed to be Gaba?cough AQUALITIS cough cough

A red/orange sea dinosaur with two antennae, a head fin, two face fins, a beige under belly, and a giant fin on the tail? Clearly not Titanosaurus. A green wart covered creature with a cranial horn, and with red scales along his head? Clearly not Gabara.Jermobooka wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 12:55 pm Odd how it’s not Gabara but Salunga

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 5)
Yeah, I wouldn’t berate someone for choosing to think or call Salunga Gabara. But it’s going to inevitably be the same thing of the Megalon/Kumonga and Gigan/Kamacuras creatures.Gigantis wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 10:25 am It's pretty obvious at this point that Aquatilis and Salunga are just suppose to be SUPER obvious homages to Titanosaurus and Gabara.. almost to the point i wonder if it really was meant to be them but they could only get the rights to so many monsters for some reason.
My working theory is that the hybrid monsters are a result of “archetype”. In episode 5 Mei discusses something about Archetype converging two points in time, and in episode 4, during her explanation Dr. Li shows two pieces of archetype being mixed and matched together, and being something solid. We can assume for some reason, Gabara and Baragon have been combined, though we don’t know why. For me, this also directly confirms that Hedorah isn’t just Hedorah (maybe?) and is probably a Dogora hybrid as well.
It’s interesting to wonder why Rodan, Angurius and Manda are unrelated.
Auuugh, I can’t wait for episode 6! I want to see Jet Jaguar fight Angurius and I want to see more of what’s going on with the monsters!

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 5)
I mean there’s a possibility that this is actually Gabara but with a different trademark. They done the with Rodan and Fire Rodan but we shall see I guess or if the director can say something abo it it I don’t know.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 2:36 pmYeah, I wouldn’t berate someone for choosing to think or call Salunga Gabara.

I’m somewhat excited for their battle, if it happens in episode 6 which it probably will. Cant believer we’re actually almost half way through the series. Time flies fast.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 4)
I find it strange that while English Netflix called the Gabara-like monster “Salunga”. The Monster’s name on Japanese Netflix wasシャランガ, whose pronunciation would be more akin to “Sharanga”. In fact, when I googled the monster’s Japanese name, the first thing I found was a mythical weapon, a celestial bow held by the Hindu god Vishnu.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 8:02 amI just read the plot synopsis on English Netflix (for some reason it has the synopsis in English.

Yeah, I was also curious about this. Japanese fans are all calling it as "Sharanga" and yes it's apparently from the Hindu myth.

サルンガ Sarunga is indeed trademarked by Toho last year. But this "Sharanga" has totally different spelling in Japanese synopsis. シャランガ

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 4)
Could be that they can't trademark a name with a strong religious background or story. It's happened before with Destroyer/Destoroyah if I recall correctly. Hence the actual trademark is different from what it is actually called. Agreed about it still being Gabara in general. It could be a "Kiryu" situation.vastatosaurus wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 4:27 pm Yeah, I was also curious about this.

Also, just a crazy theory:
シャランガ
First katakana character is シ (phonetically in Japanese Shi)
Yeah sure, it's fully Sha, but there's our "C". Japanese doesn't have an easy "C" sound, so often Shi becomes C: King Shisa= King Caesar
Maybe Gabara is Godzilla C? Hmm, it's fun!
And yeah the series is going by fast, but if there's 13 episodes we still aren't halfway, and it seems like most of the plot has been established, so I have a feeling the latter half will be much more impactful.

Re: Godzilla S.P. Weekly Spoiler Thread (Episode 1 to 5)
What's the names of the three new monster trademarks from a few weeks back, I can't find them.
I also have a theory "Hedorah" is kinda like the space amoeba I can infect ordinary animals and turn them into monsters. Actually I wonder if Hedorah is Archetype.
