Danger Strikes Back! Commentary

Did you miss the Danger Strikes Back! Battel in Providence last month? Catch up on the full Battel results in this brand new Battel recap commentary, complete with color photos.

Kaiju Kudos

The Kaiju Commissioner would like to thank everyone that made Danger Strikes Back a success; the City of Providence, the Lupo's staff, the Kaiju Heroes, JA at Harmonix, Vinnie Arnone for the glow-in-the-dark show poster, and most of all the Kaiju fans that came from far and wide for this epic Battel.

Tadd Braddley: One Resilient Rooster

Tadd Braddley truly embodies what being a Kaiju Hero is all about. Even though he hasn't fully recovered from the injuries he suffered at the human hands of Chris Hero at NY Blackout, the Heroic hen put his body on the line to protect the Hero Intern '08 in his first fighto. "Totally bummed out" that he couldn't compete at Danger Strikes Back!, the surfin' bird decided to just hang out backstage and meet up with other Kaiju Heroes. But once Unibouzu and D.W. Cycloptopuss III double-teamed the HI08, Tadd had no choice but to clean house with his trusty surfboard, allowing Hero Intern '08 to score the upset win. The Hawaiian Paddler admits he inadvertently taught the rookie his first lesson - Kaiju Heroes will do whatever it takes to ensure justice prevails.

The Tides Have Turned

Ever since Call-Me-Kevin won the Kaiju Championship Belt, it seems as if the Sea Amigos' roles have been reversed. Unibouzu and Cycloptopuss have not won a single fighto while Kevin manages to successfully defend his title against all odds. However, the washouts claim they have found a new inspiration to set them back on track. Seeing their partner Call-Me-Kevin get demolished by the Iron Brothers turned out to be an eye-opening experience for the Sea Amigos. Therefore the underwater union has agreed to put petty differences aside and share in Call-Me-Kevin's success. In the meantime, the damp duo hopes to eventually capture the Double Danger Tandem Titles, but will focus on their friend's fortunes for now.

Close But No Cigar

Sun Buster took Steam-Powered Tentacle Boulder to the absolute limit at Danger Strikes Back! The crafty combatant took advantage of the Black Box stipulation and used a plethora of plunder against the Colorado crusher. At one point, Steam-Powered Tentacle Boulder was completely disabled when Buster doused his pilot light with a bucket of H2O, but still managed to flatten Sun Buster, who was trapped underneath the massive mountain. Now Sun Buster is petitioning to have his loss to Boulder removed from the Kaiju record books, since an official Kaiju official didn't count the pin. Sun Buster also warned that he would do everything in his power to prevent Steam-Powered Tentacle Boulder from getting a shot at the Kaiju Championship Belt before him.

Question of the Week

How can I get a Danger Strikes Back T-Shirt?

Bugging Out

Dai Hachi Hachi and a drunken Yarsminko couldn't match the veteran teamwork of American Beetle and Neo Teppen at Danger Strikes Back! Dai Hachi Hachi berated his inebriated insect parter after the Battel, even going so far as to accuse Yarsminko of purposely throwing the fighto because he couldn't team with his best bud Uchu Chu. Yarsminko responded by telling Dai Hachi Hachi that Uchu Chu wouldn't have left in the first place if he hadn't interfered in the Double Danger Tandem Title match at New York Blackout. Yarsminko then crossed the line by accusing Dai Hachi Hachi of being a spy, working with Dr. Cube all along.

Yarsminko's intimations didn't sit well with the creepy creature, and he immediately attacked his now ex-partner. It took over ten minutes before the Kaiju Heroes were able to finally separate the two. In response to this unprofessional behavior, the Kaiju Commissioner has suspended both bugs for thirty days. Additionally, Team Space Bug must pay a fine of almost $30,000 to cover damage to Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel caused by their buggy scuffle. "I encourage every Kaiju monster to let loose in one of our secure structures, but I absolutely will not tolerate this kind of behavior."

Ask the Commissioner

Dear Commissioner, why did Dr. Cube and his Minions attack Dino Kang Jr. during Louden's "wireless rock concert" at the Danger Strikes Back show at Lupo's when in fact Dino Kang Jr. is a part of Cube's posse? - Stephen M.

Stephen:

That is a very good question. I don't claim to understand the sick and twisted mind of Dr. Cube and his Minion followers. Still, I would guess that they beat down their comrade because he chose to participate in the Harmonix Rock Band performance, and Cube has a long-standing classical-only, preferably Wagnerian, policy. This display of brutality is yet another reason why the good people of earth refuse to join Dr. Cube's evil crusade for world domination.
