*NOTES:*
• During the History section, it's accidentally stated that the Rodans destroyed Tokyo. While a Rodan did fly over Tokyo briefly, they *actually laid waste to FUKUOKA* - Sorry for the oversight.
• The 1st and 2nd Gen Rodans have inconsistent stats. Most of the time, the 1956 Rodans are given the same stats (wingspan/weight) as the Rodan featured in the Showa Godzilla films. Still, sometimes, Rodan's wingspan magicaly grows to 150 meters specifically for _Invasion of Astro-Monster_ in some books, while it is listed as 120m elsewhere. Other sources give him the 150m wingspan straight up.
Also yes we are in talks with MonsterIslandBuddies to get him to narrate an episode, along with some other people...
Wikizilla now everyone will shut up about it. I mean yay cool he’s in a vid now but everyone was being a jerk about it.
The first two Rodans destroyed Fukuoka (Sasebo in the US version) not Tokyo.
Can you look at The Hanna Barbera GODZILLA??????
Rodan had a Wind Breath power in his original debut?! I didn't notice that.
-Thanks for pointing that out.
i salute the costume actor continuing his job after almost dying in an on-set accident.
Vust Valeo
Yeah, Haruo Nakajima is a legend.
Haruo Nakajima was no stranger to almost dying while performing in suitimation. His work on the original, 1954 Gojira is legendary for him nearly repeatedly dying through heat exhaustion and suffocation, while wearing a 200+ pound suit of black rubber, with only three tiny holes in the neck to both see and breathe through. The fact that he went on to build a career out of portraying Godzilla and other monsters is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Most Japanese workers always have this "Well at least I'm not dead!" working mentality.
It's honestly quite amazing that even with how heavy and sometimes dangerous those suits were, the actors still managed to pull off those stunts with them. Nakajima really IS a legend👍
He literally came closer to death working for Toho than he did serving in the Japanese Navy in WWII. And he got shot at in a very flammable aircraft by an advanced US Navy fighter!
"only hates humans cause they hate him" that kinda breaks my heart a little, but I guess it's who threw the first punch I Guess.
It’s kinda sad Anguirus isn’t one of the big 5 and he was the second monster to appear after Godzilla.
Well, make it big 6 then
Poor anguirus
The only reason why Anguirus despite his popularity isn't apart of the big 5 is because he didn't appear in the heisei era
The idea of The Big Five Is beyond idiotic,like why limit the Kaiju you use to just 5?
Roman Gunter by that logic mogueara should be in the big five
"Care deeply for each other and are unwilling to live without the other"
THE F E E LS...T H E Y G O T M E
Maria Vazquez now that’s true love.
Come to think of it Rodan and his mate are monogamous meaning they mate for life
Always nice to see some love for the original Rodan, glad to see the tidbit about the ending was mentioned. His movie's title theme is still so chilling, I can't explain why but I become immediately unnerved every time I hear it.
who loves rodan and boy i am hyped to see rodan return in Godzilla 2 king of the monsters.
Same
It nice to see him again
i do him and kong are my favorites
thegaming DODO I see you like the jurassic Park u u u you didn't say the magic word meme
thegaming DODO 🤣🤣🤣 Hahaha! I LOVE your profile photo! 👌 10 / 10
I love how a Mothra larvae was able to hold off her own against King Ghidorah, I hope they allude to how resilient she is in the new Godzilla movie.
Lol
Hope they have the talking part
@@anotheralt2336 Oh yeah, Mothras the only kaiju who always talks.
I mean she talks to her Priestesses and they translate but eh.
I mean she takes on Ghidorah with Godzilla fights and beats Rodan and then takes in Ghidorah solo Even with her wings burned and herself tierd
Same I thought she would put up a fight but she could killed with 1 beam
Yeah Godzilla's death in Godzilla vs Destroyah was depressing, but the deaths of the two Rodans in their own film was also super sad...
@A nightmarish Guy its not that sad they deserve it
ENOUGH ABOUT GODZILLA THIS IS ABOUT RODAN :D
@@anonymousgoji how is it a whoosh? that is not how whoosh works.there was no joke.
@@anonymousgoji yea but how was it a whoosh? It’s an opinion.there was no joke here to start with. Learn how to use a whoosh
@@nextin_dabuilding2908 also godzilla
I'm surprised you didn't include in the trivia section that his original Japanese name is actually Radon and that the american release switched the A and O to make it sound less like something radiation related. It became his international name ever since.
And I thought it is from
pteRAnoDON ...
Radon is also an element on the periodic table so that might also be why the change happened
On the actual Website, it said it was a combination of factors mentioned in the original comment and within the first reply.
Rodan moving his neck like a madman is always cute/humorous
Rodan had too much to drink
The simplicity of Showa Rodan's abilities being all physical is very charming.
Rodan's been my favorite kaiju for 30 years. It was amazing to finally see him on the big screen in KOTM.
Finally rodan from showa cool nice
1:24 is it just me or did gojiboy's voice synced with rodan's beak movements...
Yeah....do you think it was intentional?
@@CuttlefishCam i guess
Kinda looks like
"he hates humans because
they hate hi- *rapid beak clicks*
I love how see powerful they say Rodan in new Legendary Godzilla 2. Got to wait for trailer on Saturday
If Rodan ever comes back in a future Godzilla Movie, He's better have his iconic Roar!
Thanks, guys! Another excellent Kaiju Profile!!!!
I enjoy these videos, they're really interesting. Hope to see another soon, again, interesting as always
Wow, this video combined with the Godzilla news is just uncanny timing.
Yay! I love Rodan! I’m so happy he’s appearing in 2019! And he’s my dad’s favorite monster!
I love rodan
I love Rodan mostly because of his Roar.
Godzilla 1 killer ,me too---RODAN my favorite Pterodactyl🦇🦇🦇🦇👍😎😎😎😎😎
I cannot believe you guys did a video about Rodan he is one of my fav Kaiju
I love this series. It always wants me to immediately watch at least one of the movies. I’ve never seen the 1956 “Rodan” and now I really want to! Excellent work.
The ending is so heartbreaking, you feel every second of it in the original Japanese cut
The American cut has this intrusive narration that kinda cuts into the moment a bit
Please let the Godzilla youtuber, Monster island Buddies, be the next guest narrator please.
He's not going to be the _next_ narrator but he *will* narrate a video in the future.
Wikizilla, cool 👍
Bonus points for the director being a big Rodan fan and claiming "hes been done justice".
Wikizilla is the next one Dman?
Wikizilla cool mib will be the narrator in the future
Your videos are really well done 👍🏼
Just in time for the KOTM goodness to come.
Think this has to be my favourite profile yet.
Had no idea this incarnation was this durable.
I absolutely love the new video for Showa Rodan. I was wondering if there was trivia interesting behind the scenes and creation of the pterodactyl monster. I also appreciate the notes you forgot to mention in the video about Rodan destroying Fukuoka instead of Tokyo. Other than waiting for the 2019 sequel for Legendary Godzilla, I can’t wait for the second prequel novel “Project MechaGodzilla” to be published in translation by this channel
Great video Kajiu bro
can you do a manda kaiju profile please
Esther Montalvo that would be cool
Great video
Im glad goji boy got to narrate for this video. Now all abord the hype train for 'Monster Island Buddies' narration. XD
I'd like to see a kaiju profile on Anguirus.
Icedtacos when will we get to see the history of Anguirus?
Icedtacos me too
I just have a question. Am I the only one who actually thinks Anguris is the best kaiju ever?
An Anguirus Kaiju Profile is in development and will be released soon.
Wikizilla THANK YOU!
Every time I need to know more about kaiju I always go to your channel thank you! And subscribe and like
Wow! I never realized Showa Rodan hardly got any screen time.
And he's my favorite Kaiju!
Good work
Great Video!
Also, an Anguirus Kaiju Profile would be neat
earned my sub
Thanks for havin' me! 👋
Too bad Rodan never got a Rebirth series like Mothra did. A seriously underrated monster.
Ironically enough, Rodan was initially planned to appear as the antagonist of _Rebirth of Mothra III,_ until Toho cancelled a planned King Ghidorah solo film and worked him into _Rebirth of Mothra III_ instead.
The original Radon movie is one of my favorites. I'm hoping for a proper remake by Toho for the new movie series.
yay new vid
YES, THANK YOU!!!!!
YES I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Just when you released the video I was watching the Rodan movie
Neat!👍
Imagine an 80's sit-com called Rodan.
How would it be like?
Interesting!
Finally a video on rodan
Anguirus next? :D
GSDee i wish
Rodan fans
Here Comes Rodan
Rodan is in my top 5 fav monsters of the Godzilla franchise
he my favorite monster
The Godzilla fan in me is now wondering will that discussion moment in Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster be referenced in the upcoming Godzilla movie...
Just found new this new channel. Tbh after gojifans empire fell, I thought the yt godzilla community was over so I left the community. After seeing the new Godzilla trailer I got interested in godzilla again and did some yt searching and found this channel. I also learned gojifan returned. The Godzilla community is still alive!!!
wellwellwell4321 If you’re looking for another Godzilla channel, check out DMan 1954
Idk the almost all the old Kaiju movies have this Jim Hensen-y vibe to them, like they’d fit in perfectly within the Labyrinth/ Dark Crystal Universes. Heck, they’d even work in the original Star Wars!!
I've been waiting four long years and now it's only a matter of time before I see what the MonsterVerse Rodan looks like. He's one of my favorites so I've been looking forward to him the most.
Awsome
how wonderful!
FINALLY!!!
Yey Showa Rodan!👍🏻🎉
FINALLY!
Every time I see that ending seen and hear the musical score it makes me cry because monster or not, that's a horrible way to die and hard to watch and for the added drama of I will die with you. Yanks the tears right out of you.
I think something that could have possibly been added to the Trivia section would be that at first Rodan uses Godzilla’s roar in Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster. This was a technical issue that wasn’t fixed in time before the final film was released.
One fact about him is that he is the fastest of the kajius
Thanks
Cool
It’s awesome that goji boy narrated this
幼少の頃に聴いた『ラドンは短気者だから最早味方では無い。』というセリフが心に刻まれました。
「ラドン＝暴れん坊」のイメージが根付く切っ掛けになっています。
Do a video on Varan The Unbelievable
I keep forgetting Mothra comes from a novel and Rodan was inspired by a UFO incident.
And King Ghidorah was inspired by a Soviet fantasy/fairy tale movie featuring a three-headed Slavic dragon (Zmey Gorynych).
Rodan is honestly a great Kaiju
I'm liking Goji Boy. Plz have more of him.
Theamazingdemo New episode on my channel will be out this Monday. Come join!
This being my first exposure to Rodan in detail, I can not help but find him adorable and outright derpy.
Nice avatar Goji Boy.
Man, Haruo Nakajima and Ishiro Honda are two badass legends of kaiju film making...
The way rodan move his head is kinda funny, and his beak in that version, nah Showa era really is a wacky version
I love it
Do fire Rodan or mothra leo
Heisei Rodan, Fire Rodan would be too short
Dj Godzilla agree eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeèeeeeeeeee here.
I kinda wish Fire Rodan got more screen time. :'(
I recommend watching this at 0.5x speed. Goji Boy's voice sounds amazing slowed down.
I love Rodan so much! ❤️❤️
What is the outro song from the gigan profile video you did?!?
This is showa rodan profile and also today have his own film and that's So Good!
The Godzilla lore is fuckin awesome, theres something very intriguing about following the kaiju and how its not all about us human beings. Every goddamn movies about us humans today, so its very refreshing to see the kaiju as these living creatures, monsters that are not human, and have been arnd on earth (or in space) way longer than us humans. And they have their own rules and ways inwhich they live.
Finally my Favorite Kaiju!
I'll watch this if I go home :D
I always admired Toho's wire work on monsters like Rodan.
4:46 i love how Godzilla trows rocks at a literal alien dragon
Never clicked so fast
The Heisei incarnation of Rodan is my favorite incarnation of him. It makes him look more badass in my opinion
SICK VOLLEYBALL SKILLZ!
Newborn Rodan is adorable.
King of the monsters trailer is out I’m hyped!
My dads favorite Kaiju. I’ll always love that giant fire breathing parrot 😁
Can you do baragon next?
1:40 kinda funny considering his latest incarnation is particularly more bird like than previous versions.
Rodan was my favorite cuz I loved pterodactyls as a kid...underrated if u ask me.
Never saw the Rodan movie...going to see if I can watch it.
I die everytime I see Godzilla throwing a rock 😂😂😂
Are you going to do a profile on the MonsterVerse Rodan?
If you take one thing from this video...
Rodan has some sick volleyball skills.
Rodan is back baby!!!
Maybe Rodan from Ghidorah the Three-headed monster to Destroy all Monsters could be offspring of 2 Rodans from Rodan
Hooray Rodan!🎉
