King Caesar

nihongo|King Caesar|キングシーサー|Kingushī-sā- is a bipedal kaiju from the Toho produced Godzilla series. Caesar's appearance was inspired by the Shisa, a beast that looks like a combination between a lion and a dog from Okinawa myth and was originally from China. Its first appearance was in 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. Originally known as King Shisa, his name was given on U.S. promotional materials as King Seesar or King Seeser before Toho ultimately trademarked the name King Caesar.

pecial powers

Within the context of the character's fictional universe, King Caesar possesses remarkable speed, athleticism, durability and martial arts powers. The Millennium incarnation in particular displayed great lower body strength, and was able to leap high in the air and roundhouse-kick the much heavier and spiked Anguirus like a soccer ball.

The Showa King Caesar also had the ability to draw the energy beams of enemy Kaiju into his eyes, and fire it back at the target. He used this twice with great effectiveness against Mechagodzilla before the robot wisely changed tactics and used his missiles instead. The Millennium version was not depicted using this ability in the film, though he was never faced with any beam attacks throughout its duration.

In "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla", King Caesar was the guardian of the Azumi family. He could be awakened by fulfilling a prophecy and an ancient song.

The Black Hole Aliens knew about Caesar and that it would awaken to prevent them from attempting world domination. When their Mechagodzilla was repaired after being damaged, the aliens sent the cyborg to conquer the Earth once more.

King Caesar was awakened and he confronted the robot. At the beginning, Caesar was able to successfully fight back by absorbing the cyborg's eye beams through his own eyes and then reflecting the projectiles back at his adversary. However, Mechagodzilla was too strong even for the guardian and almost defeated Caesar.

However, Godzilla arrived to aid King Caesar. Still, Mechagodzilla was more powerful than both of them and horribly outmatched the duo. Godzilla gained a magnetic attraction ability during the fight and used it to pull Mechagodzilla towards him. Godzilla held his robotic clone in place, allowing Caesar to ram the mech repeatedly. Godzilla finished off the machine by ripping off its head, and fell into the sea when Mechagodzilla's body exploded. King Caeser then returned to the rock formation from where he came. The alien base built into the mountain then self-destructed, sealing the entry and allowing King Caesar to rest peacefully until he would be needed again.

Millennium

In "", King Caesar was one of the many controlled monsters of a race of alien beings known as Xilians. He appears in Okinawa (in a twist of irony, as he was its protector in the Showa series), an island part of the Kyushu archipelago in Japan. King Caesar stomps through a factory, crushing everything in his path. Suddenly, an enormous flying object arrives on the scene and removes the giant monster.

The same thing happens to all the other monsters that were attacking the cities throughout the world. The Xilians come and tell Earth that they saw that the planet was under attack and destroyed the towering titans to save Earth and that a meteor is falling to Earth, threatening all life.

However, it is discovered that the Xilians were controlling the kaiju and that the meteor does not exist. The Xilians then release the kaiju to finish destroying the cities. However, Gotengo freed Godzilla and lured him to the places where the controlled kaiju were so he could fight them.

King Caesar, Anguirus, and Rodan are teamed up and released on Mt. Fuji to battle Godzilla. He successfully defeated them and they were thrown on top of each other in a pile. Instead of being killed, Godzilla let them live and moved on to Tokyo.
