==Explanations==
<tabber>
|-|Terminology=
*Kaiju: Kaiju (怪獣 kaijū) is a Japanese word that literally means "strange beast" and is usually translated as "monster" in English. Traditionally, kaiju can refer to any sort of strange creature, but in recent times the word has become associated with a genre of tokusatsu entertainment, specifically Japanese cinema that involves giant monsters. The most powerful kaiju are at times advertently referred to as daikaiju (大怪獣 daikaijū) the prefix dai- emphasizing great power or status and is usually translated as "giant monster."
*Mecha: In science fiction, mecha (メカ) or mechs are giant robots or machines typically depicted as piloted and as humanoid walking vehicles. Mechas are typically depicted as humanoid mobile robots. The term was first used in Japanese (meka) after shortening the English loanword mekanikaru ('mechanical'), but the meaning in Japanese is more inclusive, and "robot" (robotto) or "giant robot" is the narrower term.
*Kaijin: Kaijin (怪人) is a Japanese word that means "mysterious person." In Japanese, kaijin is a relatively broad term that encompasses any fictional human-like character that possesses strange supernatural abilities and is usually used to refer to villains.
*Hiiroo: (ヒイロ) is a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities. Any individual of colorful appearance and extraordinary prowess.
*Earth Defenders: Earth Defenders tolerate humans but do not make a point to defend them - they see the Aliens as a blight on Earth and destroying them is their primary goal. They protect the world and their home of Monster Island from any foreign threat including humans.
*Divine Monsters: These monsters are/have been worshipped by humans, and are aware of their divine power (figuratively and literally) and exert it, both to reward and punish, some being more benevolent than others. Most of them defend the cosmos itself, and therefore often ally with Earth Defenders.
*Demonic Monsters: A demon is a supernatural evil being, that usually follows the commands of a demonic deity, whose principal motivations can vary, but usually tortured souls and kaiju for eternity in Hell.
*GDF (Global Defense Force): The Global Defense Force has built many mechs to defend mankind from monsters, be they from Earth or Outer Space.
*Aliens: These Alien monsters do the bidding of different alien races. Their primary goal is to conquer Earth by any means. They are willing to destroy both humans and kaiju from the other factions alike to achieve their goals, and with the support of their military, they are prepared to crush any resistance from the planet.
*Lawless Monsters: Due to various reasons, these monsters merely follow their own needs, making no allies and attacking everything that threatens them. Some have a lust for power that comes before all other concerns, all working for their own, sinister agenda: to destroy everything in their path. Some of them are bent on world domination, while others merely destroy what they dislike and if unchecked, could destroy human civilization.
*Independent Forces: These monsters are under mind control to obey the power of crazy scientists or any other races that came from Earth, and independently of the period, who have the intention to take control over the planet. These creatures are, therefore, extremely dangerous.
|-|Story=
*Dark Horse Comics: In the 1950s, as Japan recovered from WW2, an ancient slab was discovered. It was prophesied that every three or four thousand years, an array of “Disaster Monsters” would awaken and bring upon an “Age of Monsters”. The Slab created a frequency that attracted the monsters to it, in an attempt to protect the rest of the world from them. Unfortunately, several monsters had already awakened: Soran, The Thunderbird; Inagos, The Locust-King; and the most dangerous monster of prophecy, Godzilla, King of the Monsters. The warnings were ignored, and the slab was relocated. Later that day, clouds of locust filled the sky, and something ominous took place at the city docks.
