Unless it's from the Kaijuu region of Japan, it's only sparkling beast.
Paul Bunyan? No. Not a monster. Just a man.
Babe, his giant blue ox, however: totally a Kaiju.
The literal translation/definition of "Kaiju" is "strange beast." Which is why giant humans don't qualify.
Some say their only weakness is a pass play on the 1 yard line..
Altered Beast, Sonic and then this Zombies are my neighbors or something game are the first games I remember at all.
Maybe around ‘96?
Anyways, yeah that’s hard soli evidence right there you can’t deny it
Are mostly bald apes with manes that are oddly good at throwing things not strange beasts?
Kaiju stand user?
B U L L S O N P A R A D E
Maybe Bunyan was a stand user with his stand being babe blue
Wahwah waka Wahwah wakawakawaka
If it’s not from the Tokyo prefecture it’s just sparkling King Kong.
Little known fact that America has one of the first Kaiju. And if Paul Bunyan doesn't count, Babe does.
I’d argue that babe better fits the bill of kaiju being a giant blue ox (animal/creature)
Nah, he's just a French Canadian logger.
Bunyan doesn't sound like a French name to me. Also, didn't it start as a Midwestern U.S. folktale? Like Wisconsin and Minnesota? That's what I thought.
I've heard that he was the continuation of Joseph "Jos" Montferrand, a French Canadian logger and legend born in Montreal, who worked in the Gatineau and Outaouais region, known also as big John Mufferaw. He then moved south of the border to continue working as a logger where he became known as Paul Bunyan.
...where'd he chop a tree that big? did that bastard take down all the cool, fantasy trees??
I’m pretty sure I remember that being part of his story, he chopped all the big trees down or smth.
Best lumberjack in the Sahara Forest
Well now we know where all the Entwives went.
Redwood National Park?
They must've been everywhere before he arrived.
Godzilla X Paul Bunyan would do NUMBERS
I'd watch that
Can't wait till someone make film about it with ai
Yes, Godzilla is best when he is the problem.
Are the "good guys" still kaiju? I mean, I know the good monsters are still kaiju. But is, like, Ultraman a kaiju?
Gamera is a Kaiju and he's a friend to children.
Can you really call Paul Bunyan a “good guy”? The canopy over North America was once monumental, but after he chopped it all down, it is mere legend, fading from memory with the death of each passing generation
I think there's a different word for when it's a giant person instead of giant monster. In English he'd just be a giant.
Gewdzirra
It’s a Japanese word, in English we just say giant
Like Isekai, in English we just say fantasy
Isekai means different world and is specific a subgenre of fantasy. For literal fantasy, it's just ファンタジー or fantoji, lol.
In English it’s not popular enough to differentiate
Other examples of words without direct translations
By definition, yes. An abnormally large creature capable of destroying a building without the use of any big weapons. Mr Bunyan could easily topple a building in NYC with just his hands.

Way to fuck up my whole Sunday
That's a big log
Jolly Green Giant must be kaiju also.
Sprout is a baby kaiju.
