Researching the monster’s DNA, Professor Saigo has created a serum known as SetupX to grant a human superpowers to fight the monster. Saigo’s assistant Nitta is chosen as the test subject and becomes both a worthy foe for Mono, as well as an instant celebrity.

Kaijyu Mono is a film that puts a comedic lens on the typical Japanese monster film. When he is injected with Setup X, Nitta transforms into a muscular giant, who is able to fight off Mono with a variety of wrestling moves. The grants Nitta instant celebrity, as well attracting the attention of foreign spies. However, Nitta quickly learns that defeating Mono for good might not exactly be an easy task.
