われ、八甲田より生還す－弘前隊・福島大尉の記録 高木勉 サンケイ出版 装幀＝安彦勝博

Here's all the drawings I did for that askbox meme awhile back since I was pretty happy with em! (Even if I wish I saved the full images without the Bingo board in the way.)

Hi Master Detective, what are your thoughts on Movie 26 now that every (known) character's been disclosed and that Gosho's given a few hints with the submarine? Also, I've read your thoughts about Mary mistrusting Conan, do you think Conan took the picture at random or did he deliberately take a snap of her knowing she was hiding right under?

About Conan taking the photo of Mary in File 952, I definitely believe it was deliberate. He wanted to check just in case if Mary was under the balcony (since the reason he ran to the veranda was because he wanted to find Mary). You can even see his pause after getting distracted by Kokuri where he is likely contemplating Mary's whereabouts and then takes a photo under the balcony "to be on the safe side". The fact that Gosho later revealed Conan to already know that he captured her with that photo further suggests that it was no accident.

Movie 26 thoughts and predictions

We already know that Movie 26 ("Submarine" movie) is gonna be a Sherry/Haibara themed movie, so we can expect Miyano Shiho-centric story. This could mean Amuro having Elena memories while being reminded of Sherry, Agasa having Atsushi memories related to Shiho, Akai having Akemi memories related to her sister and us getting Sherry memories from Gin (or vice versa).

The standard characters that are expected for the classic BO movie are all the BO members, Conan, Haibara, Ran & Akai. The ones who are noteworthy cast mentions are Agasa, Kuroda, Sato & Shiratori.

It doesn't seem random that Gosho picked Agasa over for example Kogoro. It could be, as I mentioned above, that he is planning on giving Agasa more spotlight in this Sherry movie, since he is essentially her current parental figure and guardian that she holds dear. Possibly by giving us flashbacks to his meeting with her real parents, but at the very least by having him actively help her. It would also be appreciated if we somehow got Agasa-Fusae related references in the movie, through maybe Haibara's favorite Fusae Brand bags.

I suspect that we'll be getting a Police vs BO type of storyline, where Kuroda is leading the MPD (while hiding his awareness of the enemies' true identity) against the BO, lead by Rum. We might get some Kuroda vs Rum teasers in the movie as well (which would be fitting considering that there is likely a hidden history between them, if Kuroda is Tsutomu and also if Rum is Muga in disguise).

As for Sato being a spotlighted character among the cast, it could be that we get Sato-Amuro moments, where we get teasers to their past meeting (during WPS) in the movie.

As for Shiratori, just like how Kogoro-Eri were the romance spotlight of M22, Sonoko-Makoto were the romance spotlight of M23, Yumi-Shuukichi were the romance spotlight of M24 and Takagi-Sato were the romance spotlight of M25, I could see Shiratori-Kobayashi being the romance spotlight of M26.

DCMK Ship Meme

Here's my filled-out version of @/ natsunombrs_DC's DCMK ship meme from Twitter.

Explanation of each ship/line color:

Red:

A red line means that this is my all-time favorite ship, and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. Do I have a problem? Maybe. Am I going to do anything about it? Other than make more fan content for them, no.

Ship(s) under this color:

AkAm

Pink:

A pink line (or circle) means that while I'm not quite as obsessed with this ship, I still very much enjoy it.

Ship(s) under this color (not listed in any particular order):

Whiskey Trio

ScotchRye

HiroRei

Nagano Trio

Jodie x Camel

ShinRan

KaiShin

HeiKazu

Sato x Takagi

Sera x Ran

Sonoko x Ran

HagiMatsu

HeiShin

Matsuda x Rei

Kazuha x Ran

Yellow:

A yellow line can mean one of two things. Either I like a ship but not as much as the ships under the pink or red categories, or I don't know enough about one or all of the characters or their relationship in canon to have much of an opinion.

Ship(s) under this color (again, not listed in any particular order):

Rei x Kazami

Akai x Jodie

Akai x Kazami (I didn't actually mean to draw the line there, but when I thought about it, it's actually kind of a cool concept)

Sonoko x Makoto

CoAi (or Shinichi x Shiho)

Vermouth x Kir

Gin x Vodka

GinSherry

Kobayashi x Shiratori

Kogoro x Megure

Kogoro x Eri

Eri x Yukiko

Yusaku x Yukiko

Mary x Tsutomu

Vermouth x Yukiko

Gin x Vermouth

Green:

A green line (or circle) means that I enjoy the dynamic between the characters as a platonic relationship or a familial relationship.

Ship(s) and (found) families under this color:

Akai, Rei, Shinichi

Shinichi, Shiho/Haibara, Detective Boys, Agasa

Akai, Jodie, Camel

Akai siblings

Olive (you know, it would be nice if Tumblr had a few more text color options):

An olive line means that my opinion on a ship is somewhere between passively shipping and NOTP territory. While I don't like the ship, I also don't actively despise it, and I can still see why the ship appeals to others even if it doesn't to me.

Ship(s) under this color:

Akai x Akemi (I very much dislike ships between family members, but their relationship was so tragic in canon that I can't hate it entirely)

AkaiGin

AmuAzu (I do like them as friends, though, plus I've seen fan art for them and it's honestly pretty cute)

Sato x Matsuda

Black:

Self-explanatory, a black line means that the ship is a NOTP for me.

Ship(s) under this color:

Akai x Shiho (something about the idea of Akai finally moving past the dead woman he's still hung up on, only to start dating her sister does not sit entirely right with me)

Rei x Elena

Here's the original template if anyone wants it:

Semi-Historical Saitou Page from the Old Site

The original page is no longer available, so I’m adding it to the archive.

--------

Most of the following below was written almost two years ago except the last few paragraphs. This is really more of a fangirl approach to history which I still add anyway because fans provide fuel for interest, whether they are fiction fans or history fans.

What's he really like? Well not as hot as RK Saitou but then again it's not fair to compare the two. I have grown a healthy respect for the historical version. The San-ban-tai Kumichou went through several name changes mostly because of the line of his work as a spy, first he was Yamaguchi Hajime, then Saitou Hajime (Shinsengumi), Inouhe Denpachi and finally Fujita Gorou. He was born to Yamaguchi Yuusuke and Masu. Well as most significant life starts out a bit shaky, he is rumored to have killed the son of a Retainer to the Shogun and thus left Tokyo, his hometown. He left behind his mother and father and his siblings Katsu (sister) and Hiroaki (brother).  He also had a nice named Yuki.

He met Kondou (soon to be Commander of the Shinsengumi) in Tama and later on joined the Shinsengumi as a troop captain. He is described as a very good swordsman on par with Okita Souji who during the time was the best swordsman in the Shinsengumi. In history just like in Anime and the movies he did command the third troop and was trusted by Hijikata, so much so that he gave him the assignment to spy on Itou Kashitarou. Itou's group defected from the Shinsengumi and created what is considered to be one of the worst internal disturbance in Shinsengumi history. Historical Saitou fought valiantly in Toba-Fushimi, during the Seinan wars and the Boshin wars. He became part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. It is believed that it was Toshiyoshi Kawaji, a native of Satsuma who recruited Saitou into the TMPD. After serving the TMPD (and rising up in the ranks) he finally retired and became a Museum guard, teacher and traffic enforcer in a girl's school where his wife Tokio also worked.

There is also a rumor that before Tokio Takagi (his wife), he was involved with a woman older than him named Yaso during the war but she died. It is unclear whether she died of illness though. His marriage to Tokio Takagi was arranged and it is said that the Daimyo himself was the sponsor for the marriage. He had three sons named Tatsuo, Tsutomu and Tsuyoshi. The youngest, Tatsuo was actually adopted.

Correction on Tatsuo's adoption 9/8/04: There are new findings that Tatsuo was not actually an adopted son, he is actually the biological son of the Fujita's however he was adopted "out" of the family to the Numazawa family. It is believed that Tatsuo was adopted out to help preserve the Aizu as the Numazawa's were retainers and Tokio and Hajime had strong ties with the Aizu clan. However there is debate if this was the only reason. There might've been more to the adoption, it is most probable that during the time Saitou Hajime (Fujita Gorou) was a prisoner of war the Numazawa's probably helped him during the time. The Numazawa's approached the Fujita family and probably asked the Fujita's to bear a child for them to adopt, citing Hajime's indebtedness while he was a POW.

Personality wise there is not much said or known about the man. Again it is rumored that there are family records and Shinsengumi records which are still in possession by the family and has not been made public up to now. We do know that he is fond of drinking (which ultimately led to his death - he died in a Seiza position by the way), a very quiet man as described by his brother in law and washed and stretched his fudonshi everyday. For those who do not know what a fudonshi is, it's underwear. Now don't laugh, this is actually a very good thing, because it points to cleanliness. Now who wouldn't want an intelligent (yes he must be intelligent because he served as a spy), skillful (fighting skills) and CLEAN man? Ladies?

I don't care much for the facial features of the real Saitou Hajime. Some say that he has a face only a mother could love but I'll let you be the judge of that. He was rather tall almost 6 feet. Some say he was "stocky" but later on put on some weight (later in his Museum guarding days). A couple of other downsides was that as I've mentioned before he drank quite a lot and there is an account that he is fickle when it came to women (I'm still waiting for more info on this). So there you have it a no holds barred low down on the real Saitou Hajime.

How did Saitou Hajime die?

Well he never did in the world of Anime, Manga and Fiction (at least my fanfiction ^_^ )... But for the curious let me detail to you what happened in history.

September 28, 1915, Saitou Hajime died at the age of 72. As I wrote earlier he was fond of drinking and this is the cause of his death. As he realized that his time was near, he asked his family to move him to an alcove, there he sat "Seiza" and awaited his death while his daughter-in-law Midori (Tsutomu's wife), continuously removed phlegm from his throat by chopsticks and some cotton balls. Note how he died in "Seiza", this means sitting on your heels with your back straight, this requires continuous presence of mind and discipline as it is a formal way of sitting. He did all this until the moment of his death, this not only pointed to his self-discipline and control but also his awareness of the Mugai Ryu. Mugai Ryu is his swordsman style and it advocates to continuously challenge oneself. Being in "Seiza" until death shows his dedication as a Mugai Ryu swordsman.

Let's sum this up... Obviously what I wrote above is just a short summary and highly incomplete history on the real man. My focus has always been Saitou Hajime in popular culture since my first love will always be RK Saitou. However if you love RK Saitou then you owe it to him, and his creator and yourself to know about the real man. And maybe you can use what you know in history to give RK Saitou or any other fictional rendition of the wolf more depth. Oh don't get me wrong RK Saitou is deep but only if you read between the lines....

Takagi Tokio (Fujita Tokio)

Recently the Shinsengumi community has had a flurry of information relating to Takagi Tokio, Fujita Goro's wife. Takagi Tokio is an adopted daughter of the Kurasawa family and had a brother named Morinosuke.  She was once a lady in waiting of Teruhime, wife of Matsudaira Katamori in Aizu.  Later on she would meet Saitou Hajime and marry him have three children and live their lives in Tokyo. In Tokyo she would become part of the Normal School for Women through courtesy of her cousin Takamine Hideo. She worked there as a dorm mother. Later on in life, after Fujita Goro's resignation from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he will join Tokio teaching in the same school, today known as Ochanomizu. She also worked in Yasuda bank. I would recommend that you find out more about her.

Addendum: 02/19/2006

There's no English book out yet for Saitou Hajime, however there is one for the Shinsengumi by Romulus Hillsborough ISBN: 0804836272. Some would regard his work as having leanings but that's what we have and I think it is good that he considered it more like historical fiction.

Shizuko Akama wrote several books about Saitou (i.e. ISBN: 4404025998 and ISBN: 4404026269). She is a life-long researcher of our wolf! Some would regard her work as having the elements of historical fiction. To be quite frank, I think that's good to bear in mind.

Try to get a hold of Remembering Aizu by Shiba Goro. It's good but keep in mind that the author is too close to the subject as well. Think of Nagakura's book (wrote it himself) where (it is said that) he's described himself a bit too good.

My favorite Saitou Site on the web is 1to5.net and the old 3-hajime site. You'll have to use a Japanese translator like nifty or babelfish.

八甲田山から還ってきた男－雪中行軍隊長・福島大尉の生涯 高木勉 文藝春秋 装幀＝倉田明典

Do you ship any other characters in Detective Conan other than Shuuichi x Jodie? p/s: I like Shuuichi x Jodie too XP

Hello anon!

First of all, 1.000.000.000 kudos for you just because you ship the best couple of Detective Conan! ;) Yes, there are also other couples I ship but I don’t feel so attached to them as I’m with Jodie and Shuichi. We can say I ship all the canon and classical couples, but the ones I prefer are:

- Yui and Kansuke - Eri and Kogoro - Yukiko and Yusaku - Mary and Tsutomu (we have seen just a little of their relationship but GOOOOD, they way she cried when she realized that the man she met wasn’t Tsutomu but someone disguised broke my heart...)

I prefer the adult relationships to be honest, maybe because at 28 years old I’m not used anymore to teenage love stories LOL XD The other couples I ship are the classical I said (Shinichi and Ran, Sato and Takagi ecc.). I also like Fusae and Agasa and I would like to see more of them. Last but not least...ok, don’t laugh at me but I ship Shiho with Higo XD

Thanks for asking! ♥

The character first appeared in Ishirō Honda's 1954 film Godzilla and became a worldwide pop culture icon, appearing in various media, including 32 films produced by Toho, three Hollywood films and numerous video games, novels, comic books and television shows. It is dubbed the King of the Monsters, a phrase first used in Godzilla, King of the Monsters!, the Americanized version of the original film.

Godzilla is depicted as an enormous, destructive, prehistoric sea monster awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation. With the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Lucky Dragon 5 incident still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons.[22] As the film series expanded, some stories took on less serious undertones, portraying Godzilla as an antihero, or a lesser threat who defends humanity. With the end of the Cold War, several post-1984 Godzilla films shifted the character's portrayal to themes including Japan's forgetfulness over its imperial past,[23] natural disasters and the human condition.[24]

Godzilla has been featured alongside many supporting characters. It has faced human opponents such as the JSDF, or other monsters, including King Ghidorah, Gigan and Mechagodzilla. Godzilla sometimes has allies, such as Rodan, Mothra and Anguirus, and offspring, such as Minilla and Godzilla Junior. Godzilla has also fought characters from other franchises in crossover media, such as the RKO Pictures/Universal Studios movie monster King Kong and the Marvel Comics characters S.H.I.E.L.D.,[25] the Fantastic Four[26] and the Avengers.[27]

One popular story is that "Gojira" was actually the nickname of a corpulent stagehand at Toho Studio.[29] Kimi Honda, the widow of the director, dismissed this in a 1998 BBC documentary devoted to Godzilla, "The backstage boys at Toho loved to joke around with tall stories".[30]

Godzilla's name was written in ateji as Gojira (呉爾羅), where the kanji are used for phonetic value and not for meaning.[citation needed] The Japanese pronunciation of the name is [ɡoꜜdʑiɾa] (About this soundlisten); the Anglicized form is /ɡɒdˈzɪlə/, with the first syllable pronounced like the word "god" and the rest rhyming with "gorilla". In the Hepburn romanization system, Godzilla's name is rendered as "Gojira", whereas in the Kunrei romanization system it is rendered as "Gozira".[citation needed]

During the development of the American version of Godzilla Raids Again (1955), Godzilla's name was changed to "Gigantis", a move initiated by producer Paul Schreibman, who wanted to create a character distinct from Godzilla.[31]

Characteristics

Every film incarnation of Godzilla between 1954 and 2017 Within the context of the Japanese films, Godzilla's exact origins vary, but it is generally depicted as an enormous, violent, prehistoric sea monster awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation.[32] Although the specific details of Godzilla's appearance have varied slightly over the years, the overall impression has remained consistent.[33] Inspired by the fictional Rhedosaurus created by animator Ray Harryhausen for the film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms,[34] Godzilla's iconic character design was conceived as that of an amphibious reptilian monster based around the loose concept of a dinosaur[35] with an erect standing posture, scaly skin, an anthropomorphic torso with muscular arms, lobed bony plates along its back and tail, and a furrowed brow.[36] Art director Akira Watanabe combined attributes of a Tyrannosaurus, an Iguanodon, a Stegosaurus and an alligator[37] to form a sort of blended chimera, inspired by illustrations from an issue of Life magazine.[38] To emphasise the monster's relationship with the atomic bomb, its skin texture was inspired by the keloid scars seen on survivors in Hiroshima.[39] The basic design has a reptilian visage, a robust build, an upright posture, a long tail and three rows of serrated plates along the back. In the original film, the plates were added for purely aesthetic purposes, in order to further differentiate Godzilla from any other living or extinct creature. Godzilla is sometimes depicted as green in comics, cartoons and movie posters, but the costumes used in the movies were usually painted charcoal grey with bone-white dorsal plates up until the film Godzilla 2000.[40]

Godzilla's atomic heat beam, as shown in Godzilla (1954) Godzilla's signature weapon is its "atomic heat beam", nuclear energy that it generates inside of its body and unleashes from its jaws in the form of a blue or red radioactive beam.[41] Toho's special effects department has used various techniques to render the beam, from physical gas-powered flames[42] to hand-drawn or computer-generated fire. Godzilla is shown to possess immense physical strength and muscularity. Haruo Nakajima, the actor who played Godzilla in the original films, was a black belt in judo and used his expertise to choreograph the battle sequences.[43] Godzilla can breathe underwater[41] and is described in the original film by the character Dr. Yamane as a transitional form between a marine and a terrestrial reptile. Godzilla is shown to have great vitality: it is immune to conventional weaponry thanks to its rugged hide and ability to regenerate[44] and as a result of surviving a nuclear explosion, it cannot be destroyed by anything less powerful. Various films, television shows, comics and games have depicted Godzilla with additional powers, such as an atomic pulse,[45] magnetism,[46] precognition,[47] fireballs,[48] an electric bite,[49] superhuman speed,[50] eye beams[51] and even flight.[52]

Godzilla's allegiance and motivations have changed from film to film to suit the needs of the story. Although Godzilla does not like humans,[53] it will fight alongside humanity against common threats. However, it makes no special effort to protect human life or property[54] and will turn against its human allies on a whim. It is not motivated to attack by predatory instinct: it does not eat people[55] and instead sustains itself on nuclear radiation[56] and an omnivorous diet.[57] When inquired if Godzilla was "good or bad", producer Shogo Tomiyama likened it to a Shinto "God of Destruction" which lacks moral agency and cannot be held to human standards of good and evil. "He totally destroys everything and then there is a rebirth. Something new and fresh can begin."[55]

Godzilla battles King Kong in King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962). This film has the highest Japanese box office attendance figures in the entire Godzilla series to date.[58] In the original Japanese films, Godzilla and all the other monsters are referred to with gender-neutral pronouns equivalent to "it",[59] while in the English dubbed versions, Godzilla is explicitly described as a male, such as in the title of Godzilla, King of the Monsters!. The creature in the 1998 Godzilla film was depicted laying eggs through parthenogenesis.[60][61][62]

Roar Godzilla has a distinctive disyllabic roar (transcribed in several comics as Skreeeonk!),[63][64] which was created by composer Akira Ifukube, who produced the sound by rubbing a pine-tar-resin-coated glove along the string of a contrabass and then slowing down the playback.[65] In the American version of Godzilla Raids Again (1955) entitled Gigantis the Fire Monster, Godzilla's iconic roar was substituted with that of the monster Anguirus.[31] From The Return of Godzilla (1984) to Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991), Godzilla was given a deeper and more threatening-sounding roar than in previous films, though this change was reverted from Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) onwards.[66] For the 2014 American film, sound editors Ethan Van der Ryn and Erik Aadahl refused to disclose the source of the sounds used for their Godzilla's roar.[65] Aadahl described the two syllables of the roar as representing two different emotional reactions, with the first expressing fury and the second conveying the character's soul.[67]

Size Godzilla's size is inconsistent, changing from film to film, and even from scene to scene, for the sake of artistic license.[55] The miniature sets and costumes were typically built at a ​1⁄25–​1⁄50 scale[68] and filmed at 240 frames per second to create the illusion of great size.[69] In the original 1954 film, Godzilla was scaled to be 50 m (164 ft) tall.[70] This was done so Godzilla could just peer over the largest buildings in Tokyo at the time.[2] In the 1956 American version, Godzilla is estimated to be 122 m (400 ft) tall, because producer Joseph E. Levine felt that 50 m did not sound "powerful enough".[71] As the series progressed Toho would rescale the character, eventually making Godzilla as tall as 100 m (328 ft).[72] This was done so that it would not be dwarfed by the newer, bigger buildings in Tokyo's skyline, such as the 243-meter-tall (797 ft) Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building which Godzilla destroyed in the film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991). Supplementary information, such as character profiles, would also depict Godzilla as weighing between 20,000 and 60,000 metric tons (22,000 and 66,000 short tons).[70][72] In the American film Godzilla (2014) from Legendary Pictures, Godzilla was scaled to be 108.2 m (355 ft) and weighing 90,000 metric tons (99,000 short tons), making it the largest film version at that time.[73] Director Gareth Edwards wanted Godzilla "to be so big as to be seen from anywhere in the city, but not too big that he couldn't be obscured".[74] For Shin Godzilla (2016), Godzilla was made even taller than the Legendary version, at 118.5 m (389 ft).[75][76] In Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters, Godzilla's height was increased further still to 300 m (984 ft).[77]

Special effects details

Suit fitting on the set of Godzilla Raids Again (1955), with Haruo Nakajima portraying Godzilla on the left Godzilla's appearance has traditionally been portrayed in the films by an actor wearing a latex costume, though the character has also been rendered in animatronic, stop-motion and computer-generated form.[78][79]

Taking inspiration from King Kong, special effects artist Eiji Tsuburaya had initially wanted Godzilla to be portrayed via stop-motion, but prohibitive deadlines and a lack of experienced animators in Japan at the time made suitmation more practical. The first suit consisted of a body cavity made of thin wires and bamboo wrapped in chicken wire for support and covered in fabric and cushions, which were then coated in latex. The first suit was held together by small hooks on the back, though subsequent Godzilla suits incorporated a zipper. Its weight was in excess of 100 kg (220 lb).[40] Prior to 1984, most Godzilla suits were made from scratch, thus resulting in slight design changes in each film appearance.[80] The most notable changes during the 1960s-70s were the reduction in Godzilla's number of toes and the removal of the character's external ears and prominent fangs, features which would later be reincorporated in the Godzilla designs from The Return of Godzilla (1984) onward.[81] The most consistent Godzilla design was maintained from Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) to Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995), when the suit was given a cat-like face and double rows of teeth.[82] Several suit actors had difficulties in performing as Godzilla, due to the suits' weight, lack of ventilation and diminished visibility.[40] Kenpachiro Satsuma in particular, who portrayed Godzilla from 1984 to 1995, described how the Godzilla suits he wore were even heavier and hotter than their predecessors because of the incorporation of animatronics.[83] Satsuma himself suffered numerous medical issues during his tenure, including oxygen deprivation, near-drowning, concussions, electric shocks and lacerations to the legs from the suits' steel wire reinforcements wearing through the rubber padding.[84] The ventilation problem was partially solved in the suit used in 1994's Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, which was the first to include an air duct, which allowed suit actors to last longer during performances.[85] In The Return of Godzilla (1984), some scenes made use of a 16-foot high robotic Godzilla (dubbed the "Cybot Godzilla") for use in close-up shots of the creature's head. The Cybot Godzilla consisted of a hydraulically-powered mechanical endoskeleton covered in urethane skin containing 3,000 computer operated parts which permitted it to tilt its head and move its lips and arms.[86]

In Godzilla (1998), special effects artist Patrick Tatopoulos was instructed to redesign Godzilla as an incredibly fast runner.[87] At one point, it was planned to use motion capture from a human to create the movements of the computer-generated Godzilla, but it was said to have ended up looking too much like a man in a suit.[88] Tatopoulos subsequently reimagined the creature as a lean, digitigrade bipedal iguana-like creature that stood with its back and tail parallel to the ground, rendered via CGI.[89] Several scenes had the monster portrayed by stuntmen in suits. The suits were similar to those used in the Toho films, with the actors' heads being located in the monster's neck region, and the facial movements controlled via animatronics. However, because of the creature's horizontal posture, the stuntmen had to wear metal leg extenders, which allowed them to stand two meters (six feet) off the ground with their feet bent forward. The film's special effects crew also built a ​1⁄6 scale animatronic Godzilla for close-up scenes, whose size outmatched that of Stan Winston's T. rex in Jurassic Park.[90] Kurt Carley performed the suitmation sequences for the adult Godzilla.[12]

In Godzilla (2014), the character was portrayed entirely via CGI. Godzilla's design in the reboot was intended to stay true to that of the original series, though the film's special effects team strove to make the monster "more dynamic than a guy in a big rubber suit."[91] To create a CG version of Godzilla, the Moving Picture Company (MPC) studied various animals such as bears, Komodo dragons, lizards, lions and gray wolves which helped the visual effects artists visualize Godzilla's body structure like that of its underlying bone, fat and muscle structure as well as the thickness and texture of its scale.[92] Motion capture was also used for some of Godzilla's movements. T.J. Storm provided the performance capture for Godzilla by wearing sensors in front of a green screen.[14]

In Shin Godzilla, a majority of the character was portrayed via CGI, with Mansai Nomura portraying Godzilla through motion capture.[11]

Appearances Main article: Godzilla (franchise) Further information: Godzilla (comics) Cultural impact Main article: Godzilla in popular culture

Godzilla's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Godzilla is one of the most recognizable symbols of Japanese popular culture worldwide[93][94] and remains an important facet of Japanese films, embodying the kaiju subset of the tokusatsu genre. Godzilla's vaguely humanoid appearance and strained, lumbering movements endeared it to Japanese audiences, who could relate to Godzilla as a sympathetic character, despite its wrathful nature.[95] Audiences respond positively to the character because it acts out of rage and self-preservation and shows where science and technology can go wrong.[96]

In 1967, the Keukdong Entertainment Company of South Korea, with production assistance from Toei Company, produced Yongary, Monster from the Deep, a reptilian monster who invades South Korea to consume oil. The film and character has often been branded as a knock-off of Godzilla.[97][98]

Godzilla has been considered a filmographic metaphor for the United States, as well as an allegory of nuclear weapons in general. The earlier Godzilla films, especially the original, portrayed Godzilla as a frightening nuclear-spawned monster. Godzilla represented the fears that many Japanese held about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the possibility of recurrence.[99] As the series progressed, so did Godzilla, changing into a less destructive and more heroic character as the films became geared more towards children. Since then, the character has fallen somewhere in the middle, sometimes portrayed as a protector of the world from external threats and other times as a bringer of destruction.[100][101]

In 1996, Godzilla received the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award,[102] as well as being given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004 to celebrate the premiere of the character's 50th anniversary film, Godzilla: Final Wars.[103] Godzilla's pop-cultural impact has led to the creation of numerous parodies and tributes, as seen in media such as Bambi Meets Godzilla, which was ranked as one of the "50 greatest cartoons",[104] two episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000[105] and the song "Godzilla" by Blue Öyster Cult.[106] Godzilla has also been used in advertisements, such as in a commercial for Nike, where Godzilla lost an oversized one-on-one game of basketball to a giant version of NBA player Charles Barkley.[107] The commercial was subsequently adapted into a comic book illustrated by Jeff Butler.[108] Godzilla has also appeared in a commercial for Snickers candy bars, which served as an indirect promo for the 2014 movie. Godzilla's success inspired the creation of numerous other monster characters, such as Gamera,[109][110] Reptilicus of Denmark,[111] Yonggary of South Korea,[97] Pulgasari of North Korea,[112] Gorgo of the United Kingdom[113] and the Cloverfield monster of the United States.[114]

Godzilla's fame and saurian appearance has influenced the scientific community. Gojirasaurus is a dubious genus of coelophysid dinosaur, named by paleontologist and admitted Godzilla fan Kenneth Carpenter.[115] Dakosaurus is an extinct marine crocodile of the Jurassic Period, which researchers informally nicknamed "Godzilla".[116] Paleontologists have written tongue-in-cheek speculative articles about Godzilla's biology, with Ken Carpenter tentatively classifying it as a ceratosaur based on its skull shape, four-fingered hands and dorsal scutes, and paleontologist Darren Naish expressing skepticism while commenting on Godzilla's unusual morphology.[117]

Godzilla's ubiquity in pop-culture has led to the mistaken assumption that the character is in the public domain, resulting in litigation by Toho to protect their corporate asset from becoming a generic trademark. In April 2008, Subway depicted a giant monster in a commercial for their Five Dollar Footlong sandwich promotion. Toho filed a lawsuit against Subway for using the character without permission, demanding $150,000 in compensation.[118] In February 2011, Toho sued Honda for depicting a fire-breathing monster in a commercial for the Honda Odyssey. The monster was never mentioned by name, being seen briefly on a video screen inside the minivan.[119] The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society christened a vessel the MV Gojira. Its purpose is to target and harass Japanese whalers in defense of whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The MV Gojira was renamed the MV Brigitte Bardot in May 2011, due to legal pressure from Toho.[120] Gojira is the name of a French death metal band, formerly known as Godzilla; legal problems forced the band to change their name.[121] In May 2015, Toho launched a lawsuit against Voltage Pictures over a planned picture starring Anne Hathaway. Promotional material released at the Cannes Film Festival used images of Godzilla.[122]

Steven Spielberg cited Godzilla as an inspiration for Jurassic Park (1993), specifically Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956), which he grew up watching.[123] Spielberg described Godzilla as "the most masterful of all the dinosaur movies because it made you believe it was really happening."[124] Godzilla also influenced the Spielberg film Jaws (1995).[125][126]

The main-belt asteroid 101781 Gojira, discovered by American astronomer Roy Tucker at the Goodricke-Pigott Observatory in 1999, was named in honor of the creature.[127] The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 11 July 2018 (M.P.C. 110635).[128]

Cultural ambassador To encourage tourism in April 2015 the central Shinjuku ward of Tokyo named Godzilla an official cultural ambassador. During an unveiling of a giant Godzilla bust at Toho headquarters, Shinjuku mayor Kenichi Yoshizumi stated "Godzilla is a character that is the pride of Japan." The mayor extended a residency certificate to an actor in a rubber suit representing Godzilla, but as the suit's hands were not designed for grasping, it was accepted on Godzilla's behalf by a Toho executive. Reporters noted that Shinjuku ward has been flattened by Godzilla in three Toho movies.[129][130]

In un futuro prossimo, lo stato mentale, la personalità e il potenziale criminale dei cittadini possono essere monitorati attraverso un sistema di scansione chiamato Psycho-Pass. Quando il Coefficiente di Criminalità di un individuo supera una certa soglia, la Sezione Anticrimine del Dipartimento di Pubblica Sicurezza ha il compito di arrestarlo. Per farlo, Ispettori e Agenti ricorrono a speciali armi chiamate Dominator in grado di sparare solo ai cittadini con un Coefficiente di Criminalità superiore alla soglia.

La prima stagione, di 22 episodi, della serie originale animata da Production I.G ha fatto il suo debutto nel 2012, seguita nel 2014 da una seconda, questa volta composta da 11 puntate e animata da Tatsunoko Production. L’anno successivo è uscito nei cinema giapponesi il film “Psycho-Pass Movie”. In Italia è attualmente distribuita da Dynit solo la prima stagione, sia in home video che in streaming su VVVVID.

L’opera ha ispirato diversi spinoff manga e la visual novel Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness, disponibili anche nel nostro paese.
