Kaiju " Kaiju " ( " Kaijū " in Japanese ) is an archetype of high - Level monsters with different Attribute s and Type s introduced in " Clash of Rebellions " . It is one of two " TCG " - exclusive archetypes that premiered in that set , the other being the " Kozmo " archetype . The archetype has become infamous for its ability to provide cheap and generic monster removal while bypassing almost any protection the target may have . However , due to Master Rule 4 , Kaiju monsters cannot get rid of monsters in the Extra Monster Zone if that player ' s Main Monster Zone is full . Design . Appearance . Each " Kaiju " monster is based on a monster from different franchises , such as " " , " " , " " and " " . Their Field Spell represents a common setting for the movies , while the other Spell / Trap Cards seem to be common scenes in these movies . Etymology . Kaiju is a Japanese term meaning " strange beast " or " monster " , frequently used to describe giant monsters from movies . However , the Japanese archetype name is a pun , as it is written as 「 壊獣 」 instead of 「 怪獣 」 , with a Kanji for " destruction " replacing the one for " strange " . Playing style . Each member with the exception of " Mecha - Dogoran " , can Tribute an opponent ' s monster to Summon it to their side of the field , similar to " Volcanic Queen " or " Lava Golem " , and can be Special Summoned from the hand if the opponent controls a " Kaiju " monster , most likely symbolizing the obsession these monsters have with fighting each other in movies . " Kyoutou Waterfront " is a very important card to the archetype as it both provides Kaiju Counter s to use the " Kaiju " monsters ' effects and searches those monsters from the Deck . Numerous Normal Spell Cards , such as " Upstart Goblin " , are recommended to put Kaiju Counters on " Waterfront " and increase consistency . The " Ninja " engine is also very helpful as of " Clash of Rebellions " , as it helps to Summon the few monsters in the archetype with ease , while also putting counters on " Waterfront " with cards such as " Reinforcement of the Army " and the " Ninjitsu Transformation " cards . A very useful card to add to this archetype is " Neo - Spacian Grand Mole " . If a monster your opponent controls that is owned by you is returned to the hand , it returns to your hand , not your opponent ' s . Therefore , you can Tribute an opponent ' s monster to Summon a Kaiju to their field , then Summon a Kaiju to your field , and Normal Summon Grand Mole . Attack the enemy Kaiju with Grand Mole and return both to your hand , then either attack another opponent ' s monster or attack directly . This combination essentially allows you to Summon a massive , powerful beatstick for free , and Tribute an opponent ' s monster ( thereby getting around any anti - destruction or targeting effects it has too ) in the process . " Castel , the Skyblaster Musketeer " is another card with high utility . He can be summoned easily with " Summoner Monk " and any of several Level 4 staples ( " Electromagnetic Turtle " , " Planet Pathfinder " , etc . ) , and his first effect can be used to flip Kaijus you control face - down in order to summon more , plus he has additional utility in a tricky situation to get rid of a problematic card . Cyber Dragon Kaiju . " Kaiju " monsters can also work around " Cyber Dragon " decks dedicated to " Cyber Dragon Infinity " due to the fact that they are Special Summoned in " Attack Position " via their own effects , and can therefore be taken back as Xyz Material for " Cyber Dragon Infinity " immediately , therefore getting over an opponent ' s monster that would otherwise be immune to targeting ( such as " Blue - Eyes Shining Dragon " or certain " Kozmo " monsters ) , or avoiding their negation effects ( such as those of " Shooting Quasar Dragon " , " Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon " , and " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " ) . This tactic will cause also the last effect of " Shooting Quasar Dragon " to miss its timing , preventing your opponent from negating the effect " Cyber Dragon Infinity " with " Quasar " or Special Summoning " Shooting Star Dragon " after it is tributed . " Jizukiru , the Star Destroying Kaiju " can also be used in conjunction with " Chimeratech Fortress Dragon " if you control " Cyber Dragon " or any of the monsters that have their name treated as " Cyber Dragon " while face - up on the field to get rid of an opponent ' s monster , then immediately be used as Fusion Material for " Chimeratech Fortress Dragon " . " Chimeratech Fortress Dragon " can then be used with a Level 8 " Kaiju " monster to Xyz Summon " " , " Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand " , or any other Rank 8 Xyz Monster you wish . " Cyber Repair Plant " can not only search your " Cyber Dragon " monsters , " Electromagnetic Turtle " , or " Galaxy Soldier " , but " Jizukiru , the Star Destroying Kaiju " as well . Graydle Kaiju . The " Kaiju " monsters hybridize well with the " Graydle " archetype , as the " Graydle " monsters focus on taking control of the opponent ' s monsters , allowing the " Kaiju " monsters to be used as quick spot removal and then reclaimed . The effect of " Graydle Dragon " can also revive " Gameciel , the Sea Turtle Kaiju " from the Graveyard when it is destroyed . Due to the heavy use of the " Graydles " , which will often be used to take control of more than just " Kaiju " , " Owner ' s Seal " and " Remove Brainwashing " are more detrimental than helpful . The " Graydle " monsters also give access to Level 8 Synchro Monsters and Rank 3 and 8 Xyz Monsters ( the latter through use of overlaying both Level 8 Synchros and " Kaiju " . )
