Friends, comrades, let us bow before the great wrestling champion in modern Japan, before Kota Ibushi, known in boxing rings around the world as Golden Star, famous and adored for his magnificent flying attacks. One not-so-far-off day he will be world heavyweight champion, but before that, we will see him in illustrious Minoru Kawasaki's latest, where a gigantic, scaly, green-red kaiju, relative of the far-of (and bleary) Godzilla decides to destroy what little he left of Tokyo (a few cardboard models...) during the Week's opening. Who can (maybe) stop him? Kota, made huge by a serum with powerful properties, and most likely with limitless side effects. At Fantasia, they howled in pleasure when they saw Kaijyu Mono.
