The last of Edo/Aster’s Destiny HEROes from GX is revealed! And the Japanese name of the headliner of the Kaijus!

Destiny HERO – Divineguy / Destiny HERO – Celestial
Level 4 DARK Warrior-Type Effect Monster
ATK 1600
DEF 1400
You can only use the (2) effect of “Destiny HERO – Celestial” once per turn.
(1) When this card declares an attack: You can target 1 face-up Spell Card your opponent controls; destroy it, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
(2) During your turn, except during the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard, if you have no cards in your hand: You can banish this card and 1 “Destiny HERO” monster from your Graveyard; draw 2 cards.

Dogoran the Mad Flame Kaiju is 怒炎壊獣ドゴラン Doen Kaijyuu Dogoran. Which is literally a Japanese reading of its TCG Name. Of note however is the theme isn’t 怪獣 (Kaijyuu, the generalized term for Movie Monsters like this, literally meaning Strange Beast), it’s 壊獣 (Kaijyuu), which reads “Destruction Beast”, so a play on words.
