Kaiju Seed

, also known as , are objects that serves as the foundation of a Kaiju's creation. While mostly prevalent in spin-off media to Gridman the Hyper Agent, in truth, their first appearance can be dated back to as early as Ultraman Dyna.
==History==
===Ultraman Dyna===
Using an alchemy-based ritual, scriptwriter Hiroya Narumi created the monster Bundar as part of the Kaiju Play. A Baroque Pearl was one of the many ingredients, which he put alongside the horse dung in the early process of Bundar's creation. 
===SSSS.GRIDMAN===
Several Kaiju Seeds were utilized by Akane Shinjo as part of creating her Kaiju mold before Alexis・Kerib materialized them by using Instance Abreaction. The Kaiju Seed also corresponded to each and every one of Akane's daily grievances against inconveniences and grudges she held against, some of which were also focused on her hatred towards Gridman after foiling her Kaiju attacks one too many times. Off-camera, Anti had also created his own Kaiju, Diriver, presumably through the same method as Akane did.
When Akane no longer had the drive to create more Kaiju, Alexis・Kerib instead re-manifested the past Kaiju simply through Instance Abreaction, presumably no longer relying on the Kaiju Seeds to do the process.
===SSSS.DYNAZENON===
Several Kaiju Seeds were distributed across the city of Fujiyokidai by members of the Kaiju Eugenicists, doing so to create Kaiju for them to control. The distributed Kaiju Seeds grew into various Kaiju by absorbing the emotions of Fujiyokidai citizens as they manifested over tine. Chise Asukagawa in particular collected a Kaiju Seed that she kept in person as some sort of a charm. The Seed developed from her increasing feeling of left behind by the Gauma Team, hoping to join them in the frontlines despite lacking a role in Dynazenon. The seed then manifested into a golden dragon Kaiju that she named Goldburn, and eventually it became an integral part of Kaiser Gridknight's formation at some point after the Gridknight Alliance made their presence known.
Eventually with Garnix's death, the Eugenicists seemingly ran out of Kaiju to manipulate, but Sizumu revealed to have housed Gagula within him, using Yomogi and Yume's growing feelings towards one another as a catalyst to grow.
===GRIDMAN UNIVERSE===
The Kaiju Mad Origin is revealed to have housed his own supply of Kaiju Seeds into his own being. Presumably, this was also used to develop Dimorgan, Domgiran and Noirdogma by tapping into Gridman's emotions. 
==Powers==
*Kaiju Creation: The Kaiju Seed's main purpose is to be used as the core of a Kaiju's creation.
**Emotion Absorption: The development of a Kaiju relies entirely on absorbing human emotions as catalysts to grow. In Akane's case, her Kaiju embodies a specific grudge before she mold their bodies on her own. In SSSS.DYNAZENON on the other hand relies on absorbing countless human emotions that it eventually forms its own body.
==Trivia==
*The use of Kaiju Seeds in Ultraman Dyna and the Gridman franchise is rather pertinent, as both shows are written by Keiichi Hasegawa as the lead writer. This is in spite of the very episode it debuted in Dyna was written by Sadayuki Murai, who nevertheless worked alongside Hasegawa again in certain episodes for Ultraman Nexus.
*The way the Kaiju Seed's use is described in Ultraman Dyna, is based on the process described in alchemical texts for the creation of homunculi. This is likely intentional given the prevelance of topic in the episode.
*As detailed in SSSS.Dynazenon Super Complete Works, Kaiju Eugenicists' iteration of Kaiju Seeds, alongside Dynazenon itself, were supposedly byproducts of their home nation's technological advancements which made possible by somehow peering into the future and attaining knowledge that not supposed to be discovered until 20000 years after the present day.SSSS.DYNAZENON Super Complete Works page 2
