A crash course in everything Kaiju, readers would be well-advised to pay careful attention, as those uneducated in monster mayhem could be imperiled next time Kaiju Big Battel erupts in their neighborhood! The Big Battel Rages on in the Kaiju Universe! Planet Earch is under threat. Scattered throughout the galaxy is a monstrous mob of maniacal villians, alien beasts, and city-crushing monsters that are waging a war against one another. In a recent New Year's Eve Kaiju Big Battel, Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle defeated RoBox: "Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle couldn't wait for the ball to drop to avenge his shocking loss to the newest Kaiju Hero, RoBox, at Kaiju Rampage New York. As Louden Noxious counted down to the stroke of midnight, the killer klucker burst into the Danger Cage and began to lay waste to the snow-covered cityscape. Seeing this wanton destruction, newly constructed Kaiju Hero, RoBox rushed the Cage to put a shop to the terror. This was perhaps the robotic Hero's biggest mistake of the night. Fresh from an extended stay in China with his sensei, Mr. Wong, Soup unleashed a barrage of devastating new maneuvers upon Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle. High-flying flips and crushing corkscrews quickly overloaded RoBox's circuts and the new Hero was unable to mount any signifigant counter attack. Finally Soup delivered the Bouillion Back Flip for the pin, earning the right to fufill his new year's resolutions: to kill again!" ". . . a robotic box beating the sh*t out of a muscled can of chicken-noodle soup is OK in our book." -- Stuff Magazine "An elaborate and athletic celebration of silliness -- Part WWE SmackDown, part Saturday Night Live sketch." -- Spin "One of the weirdest things you'll ever pay to see." -- MTV News "The Big Battels have become the hipster's way to delight in the orchestrated mayhem of the WWE." -- Newsweek Studio Kaiju is an independent Boston-based performance and media group as well as creator of Kaiju Big Battel, the world's only live monster mayhem spectacle.
