Special powersWithin the context of the character's fictional universe, King
Caesar posesses remarkable speed, athleticism, durability and martial
arts prowess. The Final Wars incarnation in particular displayed great
lower body strength, and was able to leap high in the air and
roundhouse-kick the much heavier Anguirus like a soccer ball.
The original King Caesar also had the ability to draw the energy
beams of enemy Kaiju into his eyes, and fire it back at the target. He
used this twice with great effectiveness against Mechagodzilla
before the robot wisely changed tactics and used his missiles instead.
The Final Wars version was not depicted using this ability in the film,
though he was never faced with any beam attacks throughout its duration.
Godzilla vs. MechagodzillaIn the Showa series, King Caesar was the guardian of the Azumi
family. He could be awakened by fulfilling a prophecy and an ancient
song.
The Black Hole Aliens knew about King Caesar and that it would
awaken to prevent them from attempting world domination. When their
MechaGodzilla was repaired after being damaged, the aliens sent the
mech to conquer the Earth once more.
King Caesar was awakened and he confronted the robot. At the
beginning, King Caesar was able to successfully fight back by absorbing
the mech's eye lasers through his own eyes and then reflecting the
projectiles back at his adversary. However, MechaGodzilla was too
strong even for the guardian and almost killed Caesar.
However, Godzilla arrived to aid King Caesar. Still, MechaGodzilla
was more powerful than both of them and horribly outmatched the duo.
Godzilla gained a magnetic attraction ability during the fight and used
it to pull the robot towards him. Godzilla held his robotic
doppelganger in place, allowing Shisa to ram the mech repeatedly.
Godzilla finished off the machine by ripping off its head, and fell
into the sea when Mechagodzilla's body exploded. King Caesar then
returned to the rock formation from where it came.
Godzilla: Final WarsIn the Millennium series, Caesar was one of the many controlled
monsters of a race of alien beings known as Xilians. He appears in Okinawa (in a twist of irony, as he was its protector in the Showa series), an island part of the Kyushu
archipelago in Japan. King Caesar stomps through a factory, crushing
everything in his path. Suddenly, an enormous flying object arrives on
the scene and removes the giant creature.
The same thing happens to all the other monsters that were attacking
the cities throughout the world. The Xilians come and tell Earth that
they saw that the planet was under attack and destroyed the towering
titans to save Earth and that a meteor is falling to Earth, threatening
all life.
However, it is discovered that the Xilians were controlling the
kaiju and that Gorath does not exist. The Xilians then release the
kaiju to finish destroying the cities. However, Gotengo freed Godzilla
and lured him to the places where the controlled kaiju were so he could
fight them.
King Caesar, Anguirus, and Rodan are teamed up and released on Fuji
to battle Godzilla. He successfully defeated them and they were thrown
on top of each other in a pile. Instead of being killed, Godzilla let
them live and moved on to Tokyo.
Caesar, along with Anguirus and Rodan
is one of the three enemy Kaiju in Final Wars which Godzilla did not
kill, in an homage to the Showa series, when all three monsters were
his allies.
Lost ProjectsKing Caesar and Anguirus were said to have been originally considered for inclusion in Godzilla 2000,
although it does not appear that the idea got past the planning stage.
Also it is unknown whether or not Anguirus and King Caesar were going
to somehow fit into the script for Godzilla Millennium (1999), or if
they were going to fit into a completely different story.
