[edit]

At the beginning of the film, Raiga meets a giant bone fish. They begin fighting. After that, Raiga defeats him. At this time a strong thunderstorm begins and the lightnings start shooting. Several fishermen in the sea are fishing but the bone pisces jump out of water, attack and kill them.

Much later, an unlicensed street vendor Edo Hajime walks in the city with his three daughters. He tells them about their late mother and says that he will always remember her. However, they are sceptical and don't believe him. In the evening he with three friends discuss, who will be the treasurer at the festival this year. Hajime's friends choose him as the treasurer. At first he is against that but later he agrees. A little later, they return home. They notice a lightning, striking the house. They run away. Meanwhile, a professor explores a bone fish, found by him. Although, a bone fish attacks a professor.

Later, Hajime's daughters spot him with a woman and quarrel with him. Meanwhile, Raiga gets out of the water. At this time, the politicians discuss the explosion on the boat in the sea. But the military commander tells him that Raiga begins attacking a city. The politicians decide to attack him immediately. After a long battle, the military manages to wound Raiga, who returns to the sea.

Two months passed. Hajime sells many t-shirts with the image of Raiga and earns a lot of money. Later, he with his daughters have dinner in the cafe. One of his daughters, Matsuri, tells Hajime that she wants to work in show business. He makes a laugh of her at first but later he says that it's possible. Meanwhile, bone pisces attack people on the beach. A little later, fellows tell a comedian about this attack, and he says that his father served on the battleship Yamato, and they were attacked by the dragon Reigo and by the bone pisces. Raiga starts attacking city, and destroys a building, where a comedian was. Hajime sends his daughters to the hotel, and goes to his mistress. However, he decides to return to the hotel.
