S2, E5: A giant, upright-standing creature, straight out of a monster movie, is walking across the ocean floor, causing havoc. Kaiko knows this isn’t a normal sea-creature. How can something like this exist? Ant is hugely excited. A big fan of Japanese “Kaiju” (monster) movies, this is his fantasy come to life! They try to halt the monster’s destructive progress, but it seems to be super-strong! The Nektons wonder why it’s heading towards the island of the their old friend Kenji Nakimura. It transpires that Kenji built this robotic monster as a prop when he worked in the movie business, years ago. But somehow it’s been activated again and is on a collision course with the giant hermit crabs that inhabit the waters off Kenji’s island. As much as Ant loves a good “battle of the monsters” on screen, he doesn’t want to witness one in real life. Kenji tries to help them, but he’s conflicted—he doesn’t want his greatest creation damaged! But when the monster finally reaches the cave of the giant mutated hermit crabs, the crabs emerge to defend their territory. A battle of epic proportions looms! Ant tries to wrap the creature in a strong steel cable, but the cable isn’t strong enough. Finally Kenji remembers he used parts from the monster’s original remote-control to build a new device. This must have been the trigger for its new awakening! They finally manage to deactivate the huge “Kaiju” and peace is restored. Kenji’s Island now has a very large, inert monster statue on it to keep Kenji company.
