Kaiju Mono (Japanese: 大怪獣モノ, Hepburn: Daikaijū Mono, lit. 'Giant Monster Mono') is a 2016 Japanese kaiju film directed by Minoru Kawasaki.[1]
Plot
A giant monster appears from the ground, after the eruption of Mt. Myojin. In the meantime, the Japanese government asks for help from a scientist who goes by the name of Dr. Saigo and his daughter Miwa. Both work at the Institute of Super Physics and Chemistry and were once ousted from the academic world on suspicions of forging materials concerning what the two scientist announces to be a universal cell known as "Setap X". Upon using Setap X, Dr. Saigo transforms his assistant, Hideto Nitta, into a giant professional wrestler with a height of 40 meters. The latter challenges the monster from Mt Myojin, named Mono by the members of a Kaiju organisation.
