In the depths of Ichiro's dreams, the young boy explored Monster Island with Minilla. There he saw the King of the Monsters defeat a variety of kaiju, including the Kamacuras, Ebirah, Kumonga and others. He also witnessed Minilla being taught how to breath his atomic ray, relating with the monster on his own experiences learning skills.
However, as the boy cheered on his new friend from the foliage he was unwittingly walking into a trap. In an instant, the child was grabbed by a previously unseen, human size creature. Ichiro was being attacked by a Maneater, a mental manifestation of a real
life lowly robber. The robber's real hands reached
into the boy's mind in the form of the humanoid plant creature that inhabited the dense
shrubbery of the island. This demon tore Ichiro
away from his playful fantasies, waking him
up to the stark reality that he was being kidnapped
by bank robbers. |
