So a while ago we found out that what we thought was Titanosaurus was being called “Godzilla Aquatilis” despite it’s design being based on the former monster.

 

Now it seems that Toho has officially rebranded the other classic monsters...



Gabara is now known as “Salunga”. 

 

Hedorah is now known as “Hanega”.

 

Its seems that Kumonga and Kamacarus have been merged into one monster known as “Kamanga”.

 

And Megalon has also been fused with Kumonga and is now known as “Sarunga”.

 

 

But at least Anguirus is still the same…



 

 

 

What do you think of the rebrands. Honestly, I’m not sure what to think, I’m glad to see these older monsters returning, but at the same time I’m not a fan of them being rebranded.

From what I’ve heard, Officially it IS meant to be Gabara, however they renamed him Salunga for some reason.

It's probably just for the anime. I wouldn't get too worried. Also, source?

SarcasticGoji,
The source comes from the episode description on Japan's Netflix, so it would be hard to link directly. I'm curious to see how the story approaches this. Nicknames perhaps?

It's definitely a weird choice, although this could explain why their calling Godzilla, "Goshira".

Maybe every classic monster fuses together into a completely different one. That would explain the design changes.

SasquaDash,
I'll have to go back listen to it again, but I'm pretty sure the "Goshira" was a mispronunciation on the character's part.

I heard that the kanji for "Goshira" is used to mean an ancient depiction of Godzilla. Basically it means he's an ancient monster.

I doubt this is a permanent name change. This is Godzilla after all. Most likely a nickname specific to the anime.

I've recently heard some fan theories and rumors that the design and name changes could have something to do with Toho continuing it's contract with Legendary (possibly as a way of differentiating the two series?)

Although this is just speculation, so we should probably take it with a grain of salt...

Many of these kaiju appear to be hybrids with other characters which is probably why they have different names.

And now they've rebranded Varan as Godzilla Amphivia...

 

 

I really don't get why Toho's doing this...

THATS NOT VARAN. Rebranding is such a weird term for this. These are new kaiju! Just because they look like old ones doesn’t mean they are. And I see it somewhat, but that’s not Varan, thats Godzilla Amphivia

I heard rumors that Godzilla evolves throughout Singular Point, like Shin Godzilla did. If this is true, then Aqualitis and Amphivia are just stages in Ultima's evolution.

Honestly, they should've just done a design like this:

See the source image

 

But that's what I think. We all have our preferences.

Godzilla Ultima is good for the show, Monsterverse design doesn’t work for everything.

I'm not saying that Godzilla Ultima is bad either, he has a pretty cool design.
