Over the decades, Godzilla has fought his fair shares of opponents, with last year seeing him battle against Kong and Mechagodzilla in the latest film from Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse. Long before this modern blockbuster arrived, Godzilla fought a very different creature in Gigan, a creature that had both biological and mechanical material to make it a killer kaiju and to help celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of this monster’s creation, Japan isn’t just celebrating with a new exhibit, but a festival as well.
