[note 2][10] After the original film trilogy in 1966, the series was revived in 2010 as a television drama titled Daimajin Kanon, broadcast on TV Tokyo.

[12] Since the bankruptcy of Daiei Film, all of its representative tokusatsu franchises (Gamera and Daimajin and Yokai Monsters) have faced repeated inactivity in productions.

There existed several revival attempts of Daimajin and Yokai Monsters along with the Gamera franchise, the most popular of the three, by Daiei Film's successors (Tokuma Shoten and Kadokawa Corporation).

This was supposed to feature Steven Seagal, the father of Ayako Fujitani who played the human protagonist of the Gamera trilogy, and the plot written by Yasutaka Tsutsui and Katsuhiro Otomo was later published as a novelization.

[15][16] There had been additional revival attempts, such as one by Ishiro Honda in 1980s[17] an alleged 1990s project by Orange Sky Golden Harvest with starring Kevin Costner,[18] and Kadokawa, after acquiring the copyrights of Daiei properties from Tokuma Shoten, announced a Daimajin project along with Godzilla vs. Gamera crossover in 2002,[14] which followed Yasuyoshi Tokuma (jp)'s attempts to produce a crossover between the two kaiju prior to his death in 2000,[19][20] however Toho eventually turned down the proposals and Gamera the Brave was instead produced.

Takashi Miike, who has directed The Great Yokai War and The Great Yokai War: Guardians, had also attempted to revive Daimajin in the late 2000s along with the 2006 film Gamera the Brave, which was allegedly cancelled due to the box office result of the 2006 Gamera film and was eventually redeveloped into Daimajin Kanon.

This results in necessity of increase in Daimajin's size to act among modern buildings, and expensive (large-scaled, life-sized, and detailed) models and props for filming.

[18] In Japan, a household of peasants cower during a series of earth tremors that are interpreted as the escape attempts of Daimajin, a spirit trapped within the mountain.

As the villagers pray at a shrine, Samanosuke and his henchmen slaughter Hanabasa's family, with only his son and daughter escaping, who are assisted by the samurai Kogenta.

Damaijin is asked by the daughter, Kozasa (Miwa Takada) to save her brother, with the idol removing a mask to reveal Daimajin's real face, leading it to rise from the mountain and exact its wrath on Samanosuke and his fortress.

Wrath of Daimajin was never released theatrically in the United States, but received the international English title of Majin Strikes Again.

Kyogoku Natsuhiko also made Gamera and Daimajin and GeGeGe no Kitarō characters and Sadako Yamamura[6] and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru (jp)[note 6] co-appeared in the USO MAKOTO Yōkai Hyaku Monogatari series.

[18] Parody characters based on Daimajin were featured in various other productions such as Urusei Yatsura,[43] a popular variety show WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT (jp),[45] video games such as Genpei Tōma Den,[46] Ginga Ninkyouden (jp), Gekibo: Gekisha Boy series, and Magic Sword: Heroic Fantasy.
