History ComicBook / Kaijumax

* Bridezilla: Gogla, ''literally''. [[spoiler: Especially when she discovered that her husband-to-be, Geo-Knight Taekwon, was cheating on her with the leader of the Kobloid Pan-Galactic Armada]].

** Giant Monster Terongo, the Terror of Pago Pago, insists on being addressed by his full name: Giant Monster Terongo, the Terror of Pago Pago.

* YouNoTakeCandle: While some Kaiju can speak fluent English, those who have spent most or all of their lives in isolation, like Electrogor, talk in broken sentences.

* CloudCuckoolander: Giant Monster Terongo, the Terror of Pago Pago, aka"Ding Wing", a pterosaur-like Kaiju with bits of TheStoner and TheFool added to the mix.

* CloudCuckoolander: Giant Monster Terongo, the Terror of Pago Pago, aka "Wing Ding", a pterosaur-like Kaiju with bits of TheStoner and TheFool added to the mix.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: [[spoiler:Gupta]] roughs up a Kaiju and casually [[Main/AnArmAndALeg tears its right arm off]], even using the limb as a club.

* HulkSpeak: Whoofy.

** Jeong inadvertently kills a Kaiju this way because he thought it was [[Main/ShootHimHeHasAWallet reaching for a weapon]].

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Played with. Due to circumstances with the AlienInvasion, Go-Go Space Baby winds up traveling to the Nebula of the Eternal Sunrise to help with the war effort. While there, she [[spoiler: finds the son she gave up for adoption--[[Main/TimeyWimeyBall at different stages of his life]].]]

** Played straight with a covert infiltration squad of Giglogons in the first issue of Season Six at the beginning of the AlienInvasion.

** Seasons 1 and 2 focus heavily on Electrogor

** Season 4 switches perspective into the female prison. Focus in on [[spoiler: Doctor Zhang, who got send here after murdering Zonn while her suit is damaged, which locks her in her Ultraman form]], Goat, the EldritchAbomination Electrogor meet in season 2 and Jeong, who has been reasigned here. Towards the final portion of the season [[spoiler: Torgax]] also comes into the spotlight
** Season 5 goes back to the male prison, focusing in Dokkeunbi ("Sharkmon") and Dr. Matsumoto while Pikadon's trial serves as the main backdrop for the season.

* AlienInvasion: Has happened before the story begins at least once (Warden Kang and Colonel Singh are veterans of a GreatOffscreenWar). Not a few Kaijumax inmates are of extraterrestrial origin. And an invasion forms the backdrop of Season Six, where inmates are recruited into helping with the war effort.

** Torgax, who had only gotten a handful of appearances previously, also comes into the spotlight in the last few issues of season 4

** Torgax, who had only gotten a handful of apperances previously, also comes into the spotlight in the last few issues of season 4

** In a flashback revealing [[spoiler:what happened to the children Sprinkles claimed to help]], the kids are waiting to be taking on a trip via [[Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus school bus]]. One of the kids (amidst all of them talking about how they got there) mentions [[Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach crocodile tongues]].

** Season 2 Issue 4 is covered with references to the ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos'', including a shoggoth being used as a guard dog, Deep Ones, and Shub-Niggurath (nicknamed "Goat") and Cthulhu (nicknamed "Cuttle") making cameo appearances.

** The Creature of Devil's Creek's mother, who appears to be a SternNun but is revealed to be a Satanist. [[spoiler: And then there's his father, who ''is'' Satan.]]

* DoWrongRight: The reason that [[spoiler:Hellmoth kills the Creature of Devil's Creek wasn't because he betrayed the Cryptids or asked [[{{Satan}} his father]] for a weapon to kill him, but because he didn't have the guts to even attempt to do so]].

** The Creature from Devil's Creek is a timid, gloomy anthropomorphic goat kaiju who is bullied by the other Cryptids and dominated by their leader, a sentient volcano called the Mountain. [[spoiler:He ends up being killed by the Hellmoth in Season 3.]]

** As it turns out, human children are playing their own Pokemon-style game with live {{Mons}}. It's [[RealityEnsues nowhere near as friendly as the anime]]. Many of the "very best" are powerfully built and heavily scarred from fighting. In flashbacks it's revealed that [[spoiler: Pikadon]] was one of these before he became a criminal.

* RealityEnsues: A bleakly humorous example. Kaiju on Tokusatsu shows have a tendency to [[DefeatEqualsExplosion explode]] when they die. This happens to [[spoiler:Ape-Whale]]. It is much, much, ''MUCH'' messier than it is on TV.
** {{Mons}} trained to fight each other are going to have a lot of scars.

Season four shifts focus to a separate island facility where the female prisoners are kept, among them Goat (a character introduced back in season two) and [[spoiler:prison doctor-turned-inmate Zhang]]. Things are... ''different'' at this prison, but as with the prison for the male Kaiju, conflict seems inevitable. Season Five (in progress) takes a look at the court system, as a murder trial for a notorious gang leader gets underway, while the decades-old murder conviction of another Kaiju comes into question. Season Six, which Zander Cannon has said will be the last, will deal with [[spoiler: an AlienInvasion]].

''Kaijumax'' is an ongoing comic series from Creator/OniPress by Zander Cannon, creator of the graphic novel ''ComicBook/{{Heck}}'' and one of the creators on ''ComicBook/TopTen''. The comic is centered around an island prison whose inmates are {{Kaiju}} and guards have powers similar to [[Franchise/UltraSeries Ultraman]]. The comic is published in "seasons" with six "episodes" a season, covering plotlines related to the inmates, the guards, and (on occasion) the world outside the prison. Season one introduces Electrogor, an insect-like {{Kaiju}} who has been captured for his crimes and sent to [[TitleDrop Kaijumax]]. Electrogor just wants to get back to his children: he was foraging for food ("food" being the current from power cables he was chewing on) at the time of his arrest. With the help of the Green Humongo, Electrogor [[spoiler: escapes]]. Season two follows Electrogor [[spoiler: on his journey home]], while Jeong, formerly a Kaijumax guard, finds work with the long arm of Kaiju law [[spoiler: and love with his new partner Chisato]]. Season three finds [[spoiler: Electrogor]] back at Kaijumax, where the tensions between rival prison gangs (the J-Pops and the Cryptids) culminate in [[spoiler: a PrisonRiot]]. Season four shifts focus to a separate island facility where the female prisoners are kept, among them Goat (a character introduced back in season two) and [[spoiler:prison doctor-turned-inmate Zhang]]. Things are... ''different'' at this prison, but as with the prison for the male Kaiju, conflict seems inevitable. Season Five (in progress) takes a look at the court system, as a murder trial for a notorious gang leader gets underway, while the decades-old murder conviction of another Kaiju comes into question. Season Six, which Zander Cannon has said will be the last, will deal with [[spoiler: an AlienInvasion]].

** To push the Pokémon parallel further, Pikadon's legal defense team consists of two human-like lawyers with colorful hair and a flair for the theatrical, and their smallish Kaiju assistant with a VerbalTic.

** One inmate is a toad-like kaiju with a lotus flower growing out of its back, similar to Venusaur from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. He even has Poké Ball tattoos on his neck.

* TheJerseyDevil: Electrogor's crater-mate, The Creature from Devil’s Creek, is one of these, scaled up to {{Kaiju}} size.

* LuxuryPrisonSuite: The son of the Von Vilestra mob's boss gets the same "cell" as everyone else—a basic crater—but he gets drugs and pornography smuggled in, and gets clearly better treatment from the guards.
