Synopsis

A mad scientist named Mad Oniyama attempts to take over Earth, and wants to use Godzilla as his main pawn. To get the beast, though, he has to deal with two brothers, Hideo Kaneko and his brother and Team G agent Yosuke; their friends; and Godzilla himself. Reviving and altering the DNA of several monsters including Megalon, Biollante, Gigan, and others, he is at one point aided by a version of himself from the 25th century, who uses a time machine in an attempt to alter the past. The manga ends when Godzilla, Oniyama's ultimate creation King Godzilla and Oniyama fall into the crater of a volcano.

Background

Godzilla, King of the Monsters (怪獣王ゴジラ, Kaijū-ō Gojira) is a manga series illustrated by Hiroshi Kawamoto from a story by Hisashi Yasui. It was originally serialized by Kodansha in the manga magazine DX BomBom from 1992 to 1993. It was collected into two volumes by Kodansha Comics on December 5, 1992 and June 5, 1993.

Set after Godzilla vs. Mothra, the manga showcases Godzilla squaring off against various kaiju (who are commanded by a mad scientist called Mad Oniyama) in extremely violent and bloody battles. The monsters Godzilla defeats are usually defeated by his atomic breath, and most of the enemy monster's attacks focus on Godzilla's chest, usually causing dramatic injuries.

In addition to dialogue among the human characters, the kaiju themselves also speak to each other, although humans are unable to understand them.

A single-chapter story is included at the end of Volume 2, titled "Street Fighter Godzilla". In this story, Godzilla, dressed as Ryu from the Street Fighter series, fights Hedorah (who is dressed up to resemble Blanka from the same series) while a Mothra Larva named Mosuko struggles to declare her love for Godzilla.

In 2018, Hiroshi Kawamoto published an independent sequel to this series in the form of a story included in King of the Monsters Champion Festival, a fanmade anthology by various manga illustrators and authors. In this story, the Godzilla from the manga encounters Shin Godzilla, with Mad Oniyama also returning.
