The idea of a human-Godzilla hybrid kaiju actually predates Biollante by 31 years! Meet Raban, the titular monster of a 1958 manga of the same name, and originally a scientist named Ichiro Mizuki who injects himself with Godzilla's blood and mutates into the beast in a painful and grotesque manner.

A lost Atari Lynx prototype of Monster Demolition has been recovered by the AtariAge community, offering a fresh look at this early take on what became Rampage. Featuring multiple levels and large scale characters, it is a fascinating glimpse at an alternate direction.

Sorry for not doing anything with the kaiju blog for like over a month. I legitimately didn't know what to post and also I got a bit burnt out from posting Shin Godzilla stuff every day for a week straight, kinda needed a break from it. But I'd like to scour for more things to post again

Interesting thread. None of this would shock me, considering how Toho is still raiding ideas from the BRIDE OF GODZILLA pitch from 1958

And with that, the Shin Godzilla Takeover has come to a close. The film deserves as much praise as Minus One with its bold political commentary and uniquely terrifying take on the King of the Monsters. Thank you all for celebrating its 10th anniversary with me. Regular content will resume very soon!

It's possible that the seeds for Shin Godzilla (2016) were planted as far back as 1992 by Ishiro Honda sometime before his passing. A documentary titled "Ino-san’s Trunk: The Untold Bond Between Akira Kurosawa and Ishiro Honda" aired on NHK BSP in 2012 and supposedly re-aired in 2017. (cont.)

The final fact/tidbit of the takeover may require more research on my end, but in the meantime, here's a selection of amusing edits of the Japanese Shin Godzilla (2016) theatrical poster made to promote various products around the time of the film's release, where Godzilla is holding said products.

The manufacturer of the blood coagulant used to defeat Godzilla in Shin Godzilla (2016) is named Smart Brain Peculiar Chemicals Pharmaceutical Company. It is a reference to a conglomerate featured in the Kamen Rider series named Smart Brain, retroactively foreshadowing Shin Kamen Rider (2023).

During our glimpse of the social media response to Godzilla's radioactivity in Shin Godzilla (2016), we see a user with Asuka Langley Sohryu, a character from Neon Genesis Evangelion, as their profile picture. Their handle is also a reference to a nickname she gives to the protagonist, Shinji Ikari.

To make up for a lack of a post (or at least a non-joke one) yesterday, how's about I do two posts today? Well, it's partly because I can't make up my mind on which bit of trivia is more interesting, but keep your eyes peeled like this Godzilla cream puff!

In Shin Godzilla (2016), a member of Rando Yaguchi's team theorised that Godzilla could evolve further and adapt to new situations in several ways. However, this was merely a hypothesis presented in the film as additional forms for Godzilla were never actually considered, even if concept- (cont.)

A fake smartphone in the shape of Godzilla’s second form (aka Kamata-Kun) in Shin Godzilla (2016) was unveiled by Toho as an April Fool’s Day prank in 2017. The prank was so well-received that a large plush toy smartphone case of Kamata-Kun was officially released later that year.

Shin Godzilla was going to have new roars instead of the Showa ones, but according to Shinji Higuchi, they felt they couldn't surpass the originals. This was one of the new roar experiments, included in the bonus features of a 4-disc 4K UHD Deluxe Collector's Edition released by GKIDS in 2025.

Ever wanted to taste Godzilla? Well, if you were in Japan in June 2001, you could have! The toy company Takara released canned foods themed after various Toho kaiju. Some of these included 100g of corned beef as “Godzilla Meat”, 15 quail eggs as “Godzilla Eggs” and barbecued chicken as “Rodan Meat”.

Godzilla Minus Zero will mark the second time the Japanese Godzilla has visited New York City and the third time the character has visited the city in any film. His first time at the Big Apple was in 1968's Destroy All Monsters. And of course, we all know when he went there a second time...

The original Xbox version of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee did, in fact, also release in PAL regions. However, its release is mystifyingly absent from Wikipedia and Wikizilla due to it being very rare (and thus expensive), so unfortunately I am not able to find much information about it.

To promote the then-upcoming Minions movie in 2015, Illumination partnered with Toho to produce a 30-second long commercial that played exclusively in the Toho Cinemas chain in Japan. This is where the Minions came face-to-face with Godzilla, though it's unlikely they'll cross paths again.
