## Summary

**Gigan** (**ガイガン *Gaigan***) is an alien cyborg kaiju who first appeared in the 1972 Toho Godzilla film, *Godzilla vs. Gigan*.

In 20XX, Gigan's mummified remains were discovered in Hokkaido by the Earth Defense Force. According to the Shobijin, Gigan invaded the Earth thousands of years ago, but was defeated by Mothra. Gigan was soon reactivated by the Xiliens to help them conquer the Earth. He chased the Gotengo to Antarctica to stop it from awakening Godzilla. He nearly destroyed the ship, but he was blasted by Godzilla's atomic breath. Gigan battled Godzilla, trapping him in barbed wire and pulling him toward his buzzsaw. However, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at Gigan's head, decapitating him and causing him to fall to the ground.

After being decapitated in his battle with Godzilla, Gigan was rebuilt by the Xiliens as **Modified Gigan** (**改造ガイガン *Kaizō Gaigan***), with a different head, braces to protect the back of his neck, slits in his body that fire razor discs and, most notably, a set of two-pronged chainsaws instead of hooks. Modified Gigan was released by the Controller of Planet X to battle Mothra, and seemingly defeated her after slicing off part of her wing. Gigan then attempted to help Monster X in his battle with Godzilla, slicing him in the chest while Monster X held him still. Mothra flew into the battle and knocked Monster X and Gigan over. Gigan shot his blades at Mothra, but she dodged them. Gigan then blasted Mothra with his laser beam, causing her to burst into flames. Gigan struck a victory pose, but his razor discs flew back and sliced his head off. Gigan wandered around blindly after his head was severed until Mothra, now on fire, flew into him, causing him to explode and die.

## Arsenal

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Bloody Triggers**: Gigan's forearms end in scythe-like blades, the undersides of which are equipped with dual grappling hooks that can bind an enemy and drag them straight into his buzzsaw.

* **Bloody Chainsaws**: Following his initial defeat by the recently awakened Godzilla. Gigan's Bloody Triggers are replaced by double-pronged chainsaws, appropriately dubbed **Bloody Chainsaws** (**ブラッディ・チェーンソー *Buraddi Chēnsō***). Gigan uses these offensively to slash Godzilla's chest and slice part of Mothra's wing off. He can also plant the appendages on the ground and use them as mock tank treads, propelling him forward at a moderate speed for short distances.

* **Bladed Cutter**: The buzzsaw is officially known as the **Bladed Cutter** (**ブラデッド・カッター *Buradeddo Kattā***), and was able to lacerate the hull of the Gotengo.

* **Gigarium Cluster**: Gigan's laser blast was finally revealed on screen, though it had been heavily altered from the original concept. Rather than being fired from a forehead laser device (the aperture had been replaced with a non-faceted ruby gem), it was instead fired from Gigan's eye itself. It also was no longer a traditional laser, but a large energy blast that, in a manner similar to a cluster bomb, would split into smaller explosive bolts of energy upon entering close range of a target, saturating the target in multiple hits simultaneously.

* **Bladed Slicer**: After being repaired and upgraded following his initial fight with Godzilla. Gigan displayed the ability to fire guided razor discs called **Bladed Slicers** (**ブラデッド・スライサー *Buradeddo Suraisā***) from two hidden slots in his upper torso which were able to boomerang back for a second attempt if they initially missed their target. Doing so, however, was risky as if they missed the target once again, Gigan would find himself right in the path of his own attack; which ultimately decapitated him and allowed Mothra to defeat him.

* **Tail**: Gigan's tail is tipped with a metal spike. Though he never uses it in combat in the Showa series, he uses it to attack Mothra. In this film, his tail spike is multi-pronged, and Gigan can extend his tail into the air to stab prey like a scorpion.
