Description
(The old version just wasn't dynamic or cool enough, so I reworked the design again)Sun God
UTSUNO IKUSAGAMI
HEIGHT: As tall as the Tree of Life
MASS: A heavy as the sun's heat
BIO:
There is little hard evidence to support the legend of the battle between Susano-Wo and OROCHI, and even less concerning the legend of UTSUNO IKUSAGAMI. A relatively recent discovery of kaiju lore, its become a point of contestation over what events transpired during Orochi's destructive rampage across Japan. Grasping at the frayed edges of science dangling over this fairy tale, one theory has been postulated that the gigantic warrior Ikusagami was some sort of alien visitor that found its way to Earth and, finding one reason or another to defend humanity's primitive beginnings, defeated the monstrous serpent. However, a recent archaological discovery near the caves where King Caesar was last seen buried postulated a new theory, depicting Ikusagami as "the armor of the sun" with the phrase "Man must prove himself worthy" scrawled on a tablet depicting the giant warrior.
The most generally accepted story of Ikusagami tells of how Orochi was a sort of "test," born from the Earth as well as outer elemental forces in order to serve as a trial for mankind to be the dominant race on Earth. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to state that Ikusagami was the eventual proof that we passed the test. It has been theorized that Yamato Takeru, a young prince of the kingdom of Yamato, was the one who was granted the power of Ikusagami in order to defeat the might of Orochi. But where does the story of Susano-Wo's sake fit in? It's possible that this was a ploy that Takeru used to weaken Orochi before fighting him, or it could support a hypothesis that Orochi was defeated once before, and the Spawn of Orochi had re-united into the monster for a second rampage!
Be that as it may, if Ikusagami were to exist, it would be a force to be reckoned with. A gigantic warrior of the sun, powerful enough to stand toe-to-toe with the legendary Yamato-No-Orochi, he would certainly give any modern kaiju a run for their money.

If he was a mech, he would put Gundam to shame. And yes, most modern kaiju would not go against him. But what about the King himself?

(Power Ranger music in the background). I really like the shield and sword elements. Makes it look like more of a warrior.

This one is a tad different then I would have expected but it does succeed in enhancing that mystical image he's supposed to have. A part of me cringes at the slender frame he has now but its growing on me. Chock it up to stylistic impression. It also provides a nice contrast between him and Orochi as Orochi is this living mountain and him being so sleek makes the battle more dynamic I imagine. Looking forword to Barugaron, its hard to find art of him and the rest of the card game monsters.

Typically I hate ridiculously massive swords, but against the massive frame of this guy, it looks like the perfect size for him.
The mixture of sleek plates, mystical runes and floating body parts, really add up to a very bizarre, very mystical, very awe-inspiring creature, which suits him perfectly.
I do recall hearing something about him havng a buzzsaw weapon, and am kindof disappointed that that's not there, but ohwell. As a whole, this is made of win.

KaijuSamurai In reply to GREGOLE [2008-10-01 15:08:04 +0000 UTC]
He actually never had a buzzasaw weapon in the movie, so if it was some early concept, I never heard of it.
Thanks though!

Well, it does clearly state on Toho Kingdom about one of his abilties.
"Can rotate back wings at high speeds causing them to work like blades"
Ikusagami: [link] But it's not like you've already seen him.

It's actually a god. It's the armored god, Utsu no Ikusagami, from YAMATO TAKERU (US Title: OROCHI THE EIGHT-HEADED DRAGON) basically Toho's version of CLASH OF THE TITANS.

WorldSerpent In reply to ryuuseipro [2008-10-01 11:32:01 +0000 UTC]
Ah. I didn't see that movie, so I interpreted the bio to mean that Ikusagami is a giant mech-type thing that only certain people can use.

Wow, that is a pretty awesome new take. The Floating sun halo behind him is pretty neat, and I do like that new sword and shield he has. He seems more agile and less bulky too, and that glowing sun energy coming from in between his joints is very interesting.
