Plot
Daigoro is a monster who was orphaned after the military used intercontinental missiles to kill his mother while she tried to protect him. Only one man stood against that decision. He pitied the infant, and took it as his own and raised him in Japan. But Daigoro grew too large and too expensive to feed. The man made Daigoro an icon for a business. meanwhile in a local U.S. Military base, Colonel James Kent and his son Jeremy watch over for intruders and any extraterrestrial invaders, one night they find Goliath, a monster who had been trapped in an asteroid for a long time, crashing to Earth and attempt everything to stop him but to no use, soon Goliath first encounters Daigoro. Goliath eventually defeated Daigoro by striking him with lightning from his horn. Goliath then left to pillage the world, leaving Daigoro to die. Daigoro recovered and practiced daily for his next battle against Goliath. After an intense fight, Daigoro breathed his fire ray and managed to defeat Goliath. The humans, with the help of James and his son, then grabbed Goliath while he was still weak and strapped him to a rocket and launched him back into space.
