Tokyo SOS: a love story

“who is that cute mechanic and why didn’t he say ‘yo’ to me. i’d better catch a bug in front of his face to get his attention”

sometimes a cannon is just a cannon

correct

he’s literally calling out his name just before he gets on a plane. is this a romantic comedy

you can pinpoint the exact moment he realizes he has a crush

no comment

“not that i’ve been looking at your ass. b-baka”

Shockingly, the Fathom Events screening of Godzilla: Tokyo SOS had legitimate subtitles! (The ones on the Sony DVD and Blu-ray just transcribe the English dub.) Some notes:

This was the Japanese version of the film visually as well, meaning location supers were in Japanese, there was no ugly English text slapped over the title card, and the Americans were accompanied by Japanese subtitles.

A lot of lines were preceded by character names in parenthesis. I've never seen this done before and hope I never will again; it was super distracting.

The Japanese satellite used to obtain that shot of Mothra's wing in the pre-title sequence is given a name (Survey or Surveyor?).

Tragically, Kiryu is still called "Mecha G" throughout.

The scrapbook Chujo is working on is to help make his case to the prime minister, not to serve as "a record for future generations."

There's a throughline about Chujo personifying machines which starts during the going-away party. After his scrap with Akiba, Azusa calls him out on it, saying he's more conscious of the feelings he projects onto machines than the feelings of women. (Which makes his obliviousness to her crush even funnier.) At the end of the film, when he announces his intent to sink to the bottom of the Pacific with Kiryu, she refuses to let him die with a machine and flies into action.

The Shobijin go out of sync and exclaim each other's names (Hio and Mana) when they see twin Mothra larvae hatch from the egg.

The prime minister realizes that Mothra laid her egg on Himago Island, closer to Japan than Infant Island, so her children could more easily intervene against Godzilla. That's what she was doing at the start of the film, in fact. (The Doylist explanation is that Toho has been leery about depicting Infant Islanders in live-action since Ebirah, on account of the brownface.)

Rather than Kiryu's one female mechanic coming up with the solution to fix him that a coworker immediately takes credit for, her suggestion is merely rejected.

There's no "extinct subject" mentioned in the post-credits scene (which I remember taking as evidence that Godzilla had died the first time I saw it).

YEAHHHHHHHHH

This is from the [Special Effects Unused Cut Collection] extra from the Godzilla Tokyo SOS Japanese DVD.

KiryuGoji & one of the Mothra larvae are soooooo cute here..

You can tell that the male larva is more clumsy while the female one is more organized when they both put their faces on the ground.

THE MALE LARVA BACKS AWAY SLIGHTLY OH MY!!! CUTE!!! .⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠.

I wonder what is the context behind this scrapped scene. I theorize it might be them getting ready to protect Kiryu but their either dozing off or playing dead.

They should have kept it in the final product.

I really love the Kiryu Saga a LOT!
