Salunga is back in town and he is ready to kick some thicc Godzilla ass.
JET JAGUAR
VS
KUMONGA
COLONY
Interesingly, Singular Point has 4 variations of Kumongas: The normal one, Kamanga (The one with Gigan-like claws), Hanega (The one with wings) and one that has the giant claws and wings, but this one is not listed in the website. Also Jet Jaguar is an absolute badass in every shot.
KUMONGA
The Durability Kaiju
These Kumongas are wayyy better than the classic one. The Megalon-like jaw is my favorite part of it's desing, the way it moves smoothly and the white stuff coming out of it, absolutely awesome (and creepy)! In case you are confused, the Hedorah looking blue thing is actually just the Kumongas without their exoesqueleton, this makes them way harder to kill.
Godzilla Singular Point Theory
(Kinda insane but possible)
So, a rumor is going around that Salunga (The Gabara/Baragon-like monster) is going to evolve and his final form has resemblense to Bagan.
Bagan is a kaiju cut from Godzilla 1984, that then was intended to appear in other movies like Rebirth of Mothra, but was cut again. He was then utilized as the Final Boss for the Super Godzilla game.
Now here is the theory:
Salunga doesn't look like Bagan at all, so how could this even be real? I have a theory for that!
You see, Bagan's original concept concisted of various creatures merging to form a final form, similar to Destoroyah (In fact, Bagan was suposed to be the final villain in Godzilla vs Destoroyah). One of these forms, the Spirit God Beast Form, has a bizarre resemblense to Salunga.
Bagan's Spirit God Beast form Concept Art:
Salunga Concept Art:
You must be asking: But why would he look like this specific form and not the other ones?
The main reason i think he would look like this one, is because of the origin of his name.
Salunga (Sharanga) is the name of a bow of an Indian God. He also comes from the giant temple showed in episode 11, that has a cave that leads to the Singular Point, that is located in India. If Salunga's concept comes from an Indian God, why not have this as well for his second/final form? The indian god Ganesha has an elephant head and humanoid body, much like Bagan's spirit form. It would be a nice reference and convenient if they made Salunga's final form look like Bagan's spirit god beast form, it would be a reference to Salunga's origins and a reference to a Toho monster at the same time (They love references to Toho monsters). It's just too convinient for them. It would also explain the rumor of the form resembling Bagan.
Well that's the theory basically. I could be completely wrong about this and Salunga not even appearing on episode 12 or 13, but that is what it is, a theory.

F#cking epic
Little gifs of the enemy Kaiju sprites from Godzilla Singular Point: Escape!!! Radio Wave Monster Rodan!, the Godzilla Singular Point game available here:
https://game.godzilla-sp.jp/
This game had only the main Rodan variations in it's first version, but now we have almost all the kaiju from the series! (The ones not in the game: "Fire" Rodan, Manda, Kamanga (Kumonga with Gigan Claws) and Godzilla's forms, tho Godzilla Ultima is in the Menu and Credits).
It's a nice game and i recomend checking it out if you like retro games! (Advice: The game gets insanely hard, you have been warned)
These gifs were made in a mobile phone app, so they are a little unaligned or little faster/slower than the ones in the game, this was the best i could do.
Godzilla
Terrestris
VS
"Fire" Rodan
As seen in episode 10, a giant Rodan covered in red fire like smoke tries to start a battle with Godzilla on eye sight, only to be obliterated by a giant blue ring fired by Godzilla Terrestris.
This Rodan seems to be at least close to Godzilla Terrestris's size (even the army is surprised), and people were complaining about him being small!
Rodans are a species, so there is more of them out there. There is no explanation why Rodan looks likes this, he also appears out of nowhere. They will release his concept art soon with a official name, but for now im calling him Fire Rodan, because he looks like it's on fire and is an obvious callback to Fire Rodan from the Heisei Era.
So I found out SP Godzilla’s face is supposed to look like an Oni, a very important selection of demons in Japanese mythology and to this day often used to represent dangerous, evil, and demonic forces.
This would also pair nicely with the Rodan Tengu,(A widely known dangerous Bird Yokai), we see on the mural.
Heck, the narrative of a monster army apocalypse almost definitely takes inspiration from Hyakki Yagyō (百鬼夜行, “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons”), also transliterated Hyakki Yakō, is an idiom in Japanese folklore. Sometimes an orderly procession, other times a riot, it refers to an uncontrolled horde of countless numbers of oni and yōkai.
As a terrifying eruption of the supernatural world into our own. It has more than one thousand years of history, and its role as a popular theme in traditional storytelling and art, a great deal of folklore has developed around the concept.
It still widely used to this day, the most use of it was just a few months earlier it was used as the central plot element of Monster Hunter Rise known as the rampage.

TERRESTRIS
Someone said that this Godzilla could humiliate Shin Godzilla in his final form, i totally belive him now. This is the most nightmerish Godzilla yet, just look at his face! His abilities are also insane, having fully controlable flesh seems very useful. He also posesses strong regeneration, the best Godzilla form so far! From what we have seen in the trailers, espect more of him in the 10° episode (Unless he turns into Ultima in the beginning of it like the other ones). And oh man the theme in the background, simply epic, one of the best versions of the Godzilla Theme to this day if not the best! (My opinion tho)
Godzilla Terrestris Awakens
GODZILLA
AMPHIBIA
In one of the most awsome scenes of the series, Godzilla Amphibia creates a colossal explosion with his breath, destroying everything close to it and succing alot of poor Rodans into it too. Godzilla Amphibia enters into a hybernation state and creates a layer of cristalized red mist in his skin, so he will problably emerge from it in his third not yet final form (You can actually see this scene in the opening).
Look just how big that blast was, and Amphibia only had one gas tube in his moth, while Godzilla Ultima has three tubes, imagine how powerfull his atomic breath will be.
Some Godzilla SP Concept Art from CGWorld. Not sure if these are posted elsewhere; I hope it isn’t redundant.
Anyways some cool things:
-Note the date near Godzilla’s name in the first image. Godzilla SP was conceptualized a long time ago, and Godzilla was designed all the way back in July 2018. Rodan and Angurius came later in September.
-Sarunga is a new monster. The article goes into detail about it’s design process, but the concept art make both explicit reference to the fact that it takes inspiration from both Gabara and Baragon. Worth noting the article also calls it “Sarnga” in English text, indicating a possible English name.
-Angurius is called “Angurius 2″. This could mean that there’s an aborted design we won’t see, or that there’s a few in the series.
-Manda’s head has the motif of a frilled shark, while it’s “legs” have those of a mantis. It also takes a heavy influence from centipedes, specifically the Japanese Mukade.

The hopeless future
Footage taken from the full In case Opening video. From what i could tell this Godzilla has 4 forms: Godzilla Aquatilis, "Varan" Godzilla, Varan Godzilla without the spikes and Godzilla Ultima. He looks badass in every shot. The thing i love the most about this incarnation is the Atomic Breath with giant blue rings, they look so epic. For people who didn't see the Third From he is that Godzilla that appears in the final trailer charging the atomic breath with one single blue ring.
GODZILLA
AQUATILIS
GIFs of Godzilla Aquatilis's epic appearece in Episode 6 of Godzilla Singular Point. As seen in the episode, it seems that this Godzilla (Unknown if he is Godzilla Ultima's first form or a relative species) is hunting the pack of Mandas seen in the other epsodes and looks like we have at least 9 Mandas! If this Godzilla is hunting 9 Mandas he must be really strong. The classic theme plays when he shows up but this time around we can hear more of it, and from what i could tell it's an extended version of the classic theme and i could hear the Trailer 1 theme in it too! The full version must be awesome!

The Future Vision Monster
Footage taken from Episode 5 of Godzilla Singular Point. Love this desing and how insane his ability is. They also state in the anime that this Anguirus is a juvenille and his dad is much bigger than him. He even grows in the same episode, his size on the first scene was a little biger than a regular human but later he is bigger than Jet Jaguar! Bruh, Jet is gona get his ass kicked so hard by spiky boy, i bet the only surviving piece will be the head.
Salunga/Gabara
The Red Mist Monster
Footage taken from Episode 5 of Godzilla Singular Point. I did not put the name just "Salunga" yet because they didn't call him like that in the episode (They basically didn't give him a name yet). They talk about him like if he is a demon and that hole goes to HELL , wich is interesting. The evil looking dude also metions that he controlls the Red Mist, wich is even more interesting.

The Giant Sea Serpent
Footage taken from episode 5 of Godzilla Singular Point. In case you did not watch it, they do indeed call it Manda and it's a name for Mammoth Class Snake.
GIFs of the new kaiju appearing in Godzilla Singular Point: Three Mandas, Gabara and Anguirus.
Anguirus is interesting since they say in episode 4 that he might be a kid, and that his dad is WAY bigger.
Some Godzilla Singular Point RODAN RODAN THE RADIO WAVE KAIJU! GIFs. In the official Godzilla S.P website this Rodan's name is Rodan (Adult), wich is weird since they are smaller than the Pink Rodan from the first 2 episodes.
Two GIFs of the last bit of the Third Episode of Godzilla Singular Point.
I would say it's Titanosaurs because of the tail and crest in the head...
But the Godzilla theme starts playing when this creature appears. So, this could be a subspecies of Godzilla wich would be Titanosaurus, similar to how Rodan has diferent species, or this could be Godzilla's first form, just like in Shin Godzilla. Dang i cannot wait to see the fourth episode!
