Rest In Peace.

Sky Deviler Remembered

When early reviews of the new Shocking Truth DVD promised the death of a Kaiju mainstay, no one expected that the most beloved Space Bug of all time would be leaving us. So it was though, when the gluttonous space monster Sky Deviler was slain at the hands of Cube's Posse. As a vengeful Dino Kang Jr. shrieked with glee, Deviler was set upon by a mob of Minions who de-horned, de-armed, and de-lifed the big blue wonder.

While many Kaiju have been slain over the years, few have been as beloved as Sky Deviler. Gathered here are the thoughts and reflections of many of Sky Deviler's friends, enemies, and fans upon his passing:

Uchu Chu: "There is a giant, one-eyed hole in Team Space Bug, that will not be easy to replace. On the other hand the grocery bill will be a lot smaller..."

Kaiju Commissioner: "I never tolerated Sky Deviler's behavior, but it is a shame that he had to leave us as yet another victim of the despicable Dr. Cube and his Posse."

Mota Naru: "This makes ME SOOOO ANGGGRRYYYYYYYY!"

Pablo Plantain: "Él era un opositor digno, aunque clase de mudo. Y con la mala respiración."

Dino Kang Jr: "Sqweeeeak! Shriek! Shriiiiiieeeeeeeeek! Sqweeeek!"

Dr. Cube: "Oh look I'm so sad. I think I'm going to cry. Boo. Hoo. Hoo."

Superfan Jay: "Deviler embodied all that was good and pure about Kaiju, and now that he is gone, it's all a downward spiral to evil and chaos. But there is hope: with the egg he birthed before his death is the chance at a new beginning. Although he is gone, he will remain in spirit and will be permanently etched into the hearts and legs of fanboys everywhere."

Sky Deviler's Favorite Snacks

Sky Deviler was more than just an ornery Space Bug. He was the Big Battel's foremost epicurean, with an insatiable appetite for life... and pretty everything else. Perhaps by looking at some of Sky Deviler's favorite snacks we can understand a little more about the late beast.

1. Royal Jelly and Juice - Sky Deviler and Uchu Chu used to roll around in their low-rider space ship, sipping on this favorite.

2. Opponent's Appendages - Dino Kang Jr. was just one of many victims who lost an arm, leg, nose, or tail to Sky Deviler's gaping maw.

3. Trophies - Sky DevilerÕs high rate of trophy consumption kept his blood rich in minerals such as gold, silver, zinc, and cubic zirconium.

4. Shame - According to Dr. Phil, Sky Deviler responded to Big Battel failure by eating his shame in a classic display of binge behavior. Coincidentally his shame looked a lot like innocent bystanders.

5. Cheese - Munster is nice, but for Sky Deviler, cheddar was better.
