King Caesar / King Shisa Explained

King Caesar, or King Shisa, is one amazing kaiju, one of my favorites from growing up! Under the surface however, the king is not what he seems...lets take a look at King Caesar to see his influences like the shisa and the onigawara, and his status as both a Golem, and a Shisa statue of Okinawa. He's not that much different than his first enemy MechaGodzilla! Featured in both the Showa eras Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla and the Millennium eras Godzilla Final Wars. With Size Comparison.

We need more of King Cesar. He'll actually fits perfectly for the ancient history in the Monsterverse.

[@joeysullivanTM]

But will he be the smartest Kaiju if he was added into the monsterverse?

[@invaderbonzo]

The fact that he's a golem could be a good story point

[@zilla2006able]

I agree

[@joeysullivanTM]

I agree with all of y'all lol

[@danielcampbell9457]

how would/could he be a good fit if the new monster verse has taken a much more realistic and scientific approach to the titans? not being an asshole just want to know your thoughts exactly on how they could introduce him with the different approach they've started to take since godzilla 2014.

[@paulforder591]

Having King Shisa in kaiju movies lends a touch of authenticity, seeing he hails from Okinawa--he's a monster who should appear more often, assuming there's enough popular demand. 😁🐉🐲

[@justzillathekingofgames6867]

That's wild I never knew King Caesar was basically a golem/construct. That's freaking awesome. He's one of my favorites from the showa era. I hope we see more of him in future films. Great work as always Scifi explained

[@androsthewarriorhighalpha]

King Ceasar has always been another favorite monster i like and I find him very unique and rare creature. I do wish he could appear in the Monsterverse..

[@garfieldsmith332]

Never knew anything behind King Caesar. When I first saw the film my reaction was "They put the family dog into this film". Thanks for the history lesson.

[@steezydagoat5301]

King Cesar is legit my favorite character thank you so much for making this one

[@Havok91]

I've always loved the Showa era the most and this guy is a good part of that. Even if the camp of those films hasn't exactly held up in my current age, the designs of those films were so much more intricate in my opinion. When I picked up Godzilla: Battle Line and saw that, of the few Showa Kaiju in the game, King Caesar was one that still saw high level play, I got VERY happy.

King Cesar really has captured that old myth feel

[@wildlock1552]

I'm a simple man, I see King Ceasar, I click like

[@JamiesonHorton]

Great video! I had no idea King Caesar was an ancient machine of sorts. I'm probably not the first one to make this observation... but I thought Kong in Legendary's "Godzilla vs. Kong" was similar to King Caesar, in terms of lore... especially if one thinks of that movie as being loosely based on Toho's "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla."

[@reginald1817]

The Monsterverse has got to bring this guy back!!👍👍.....I love his energy reflecting eyes!!😁

[@AlonzoTompkins]

I love how King Caesar is technically a super robot.

[@KaijuFan1954]

Finally this feels good seeing kaiju content again

[@chimericalical]

I like how canonically he chilled out during various threats to the world (Ghidorah, Gigan, etc.) and didn’t give a shit until Mecha Godzilla showed up. Then he woke up, kicked his ass with Godzilla, then went right back to sleep.

[@KyojinKaiju]

A well composed and documented case for King Caesar! Really enjoy the coverage of his history and bizarre anatomy! I really wish we got more intel when it comes to "bringing monsters back to life"--such a fun idea that could be elaborated on! But perhaps that time may be for later down the road.

[@guest9243]

King Cesar needs more love.

[@RX552VBK]

i always loved him--especially now as an adult. He doesn't get enough respect (at least with western G fans IMO); because of your video review I'm gonna stop calling Caesar but King Shisa. Hope he appears someday in the Monsterverse. I always loved his roar--which I believe is Kong's voice from KK Escapes; however, I'm surprised King Shisa is a Golem. He seems to been able to stragegize moves and counter attacks against Mecha G in the movie--that seems like a thinking creature to me.

[@SpScarletSpider]

That's one aspect of kaiju that I quite like compared to other movie monsters; they aren't stupid. They can think, feel, adapt, laugh, be saddened, etc., and most importantly, have character.

[@loganmurray8810]

Been a Godzilla fan my whole life and I still learn new things from your videos. Keep it up!

[@barubaroi]

King caesar is one of my favorite mammalian kaiju in the Godzilla franchise

[@JasonOmegaKakos]

Thank you so much for this video!!! King Caesar FOREVER!!!

[@keithewing8026]

Some pretty adept deciphering of knotty, historically legitimate mythologies and the creatively energetic, inventive Kaiju lore-riffing - nice work !

[@theflyxx]

I always thought it was hilarious how Mecha G tried to make King Caesar eat his hand.

[@sting54]

[@jackychang9148]

You did what Wikizilla refuses or is unable to do. You made a video of King Caesar and I love you for it. Thank you.

[@ethenallen1388]

I'm hoping that something like King Shisa appears in the Legendary Monster-verse to help Mothra against some great threat.

[@richterbalmont5747]

[@brianjordan3841]

[@KNByam]

Loved these movies as a kid.

[@shadowdouglas450]

Not likening the him being a golem special since he bleeds in the comics and can communicate with other monsters even calling them friends i did see that old inside pick but Gigans was so laughable i just usually brushed them off.

[@jamesmurray8558]

My favorite monster.Comet t.v. play him every two weeks.I will watch him.

[@mfsmarineop693]

Showa is my favorite era, it even has my two favorite movies: Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster and Son of Godzilla. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is a really good film as well, though King Caesar didn’t do much in it despite all of the hype around him.

[@legiontheatregroup]

Great video. I’ve always wondered about that prophecy sequence in the 1974 film which you showed an excerpt from. When she speaks of the prophecy saying a monster will appear to destroy the world, they show a still image of King Ghidora and you hear his distinctive roar. This never made any sense to me, as Ghidora is not otherwise in the film. It feels really random. Can anyone explain it?

[@jonathanzion4551]

I never understood that either

[@shadowdouglas450]

Ghidorah was suppose to show up to But they beat MG butt to quik. They waking King Ceasar for that not for Mecha Godzilla.

[@sirsir9665]

He's so cool. I had no idea he was so powerful. Seeing as his mythology he can fight and beat Dragons he would be a good fighter against King Ghodora. Especially if he can reflect his lightning attacks. King vs King

[@killerzillavolt2655]

Wouldn't Final Wars King Caesar be biological though? The Xiliens were able to take control of him because he too had the m-base DNA in him. He would only shear the same origin as the Showa version of him being a guardian but not that he is a golem.

[@LordOmnissiah]

Maybe one of the Izumi clan members was also one of those m-base human mutants which allowed the aliens to take control of them and by extension let them seize control of King Shisa since he basically is a servant of the family.

[@killerzillavolt2655]

@@LordOmnissiah Most likely that he's biological, thing to note is that unlike the Showa version he does not have gem for eyes but real eyeballs, probably a way to show that he was biological to make sense that he has the m-base DNA in him.
