^ There are some Japanese books that specify that they're apparently different. I'm not 100% about Goro and Baragon, but I know for a fact that "Varan 2" has been listed in some books.

I think it's safe to assume that the Gorosaurus and Baragon are different creatures than the ones in their previous films. Since the previous Gorosaurus and Baragon are kinda...dead.

Unless Fuji and Glenn discovered the Necronomicon on Planet X and resurrected all the dead monsters (which would be an amazing movie) or something like that, I'm going to say Bara and Goro stayed dead.

Good god that would be the greatest film ever created.

But yeah, it'd make sense for Goro, Bara and Varan to stay dead rather than rising from the grave. Goji, did one of those books say anything about Manda in DAM being a different individual?

Also, my tinfoil hat is probably on two tight, but if the Japanese books state that the monsters in DAM (Manda,Goro, Bara and Varan) are different, does that imply that respective films those creatures appeared in occurred in the Showa timeline? I'm probably really over thinking this, but I'm wondering if there's any Japanese sources that say so.

That would actually be a good excuse for Godzilla vs The Devil.

To be honest, I have no clue. We should probably ask Gamu on Fb about it.

You bring up a good point. I think it's possible that they're only referred to that way for the sake of reference, since some of these books mention all of Toho's fantasy films (and not just the Godzills series), so in certain instances, they have to add the number to avoid confusion.

Yeah, if anyone would know, Gamu would. I'll ask him next time I'm chatting with him.

At least the Japanese books don't call 90's Mechagodzilla "Mechagodzilla 2". :lol:

Actually, the reality is that they were among the monsters resurrected by Geronimon for his invasion. :lol:


Hmm, that sounded funnier in my head....

Um, I think people misunderstood me.

I'm not saying DAM's in 1968, I'm saying Hedorah through Terror could possible be after AFTER 1999.

But regardless, posts withdrawn. I apologize for inconveniencing everyone.

EDIT: Hey, if the question's answered, why the skreeonk is this topic still open?

No, not really. It appears to be a discussion of film continuity.

But if you don't move it, he bumped it from the dead for no reason! How can you be so cold?!

Although, rereading this thread did give me a good laugh. Ah, you guys are fun.
