Hey kaiju fans… today we'll be quickly going over and clarifying or correcting
any erroneous information in our past videos.
Excluded in this review are the videos tagged with "[OLD]" in their titles ...
which for right now are these.
That's because those are all going to be remade in the "near future."
Let's begin!
In the Trivia section, we mentioned that Titanosaurus is called a 'kyoryu' (Japanese for dinosaur)
throughout "Terror of Mechagodzilla" rather than a kaiju, and that this was later corroborated
by a statement from screenwriter Yukiko Takayama.
To clarify, this does not mean that Titanosaurus is not officially a kaiju;
his subtitle is even "Kyoryu Kaiju" — Dinosaur Monster.
The distinction in the film is meant to show that he was a peaceful animal who became evil
only after succumbing to the mind control of the mad doctor Mafune.
Left to his own devices, Titanosaurus lacks the destructive impulses of Godzilla and other kaiju.
Hence, he's not a "monster" in that sense of the word.
The Kiryu Kaiju Profile got taken down by a random person submitting a copyright strike.
The video wasn't up to par in general, and we don't know what footage got it taken down
in the first place, so it's not getting reuploaded like the Destoroyah Kaiju Profile was.
That video was only flagged because it included deleted scenes from "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah."
Although a majority of sources state the Heisei King Ghidorah's height is 140 meters, it turns
out that "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II" - the actual movie itself - shows (albeit briefly)
that Mecha-King Ghidorah is in fact 150m in height.
Why do so many books, including those contemporary with the Heisei films, say 140 meters?
Who knows.
In this video about the anime GODZILLA timeline presented by the prequel novel
"GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse," we said that Godzilla disappeared for 8 years starting in 2035,
and that he emerged in 2042.
We inferred this because the novel did not mention any events relating to or specifically
involving Godzilla between those times.
The second novel, "Project Mechagodzilla," which was published after we made our video,
reveals that Godzilla actually kept on ravaging Western Europe up until 2037,
when he left through the French coast.
He then killed Battra and lay dormant in the Arctic until 2042, when he woke up to intercept Gorath.
By the way: the "Project Mechagodzilla" video is next in line.
Stay tuned for that.
We also said that Dogora was destroyed by chemicals containing active ingredients from
spider venom.
This was a mistranslation: the novel actually says the ingredients were taken from the venom
of the Japanese giant hornet, similar to how the JSDF defeated Dogora in its debut film
using wasp venom.
The video additionally states that Ganimes was among the kaiju menacing the Atlantic Ocean.
On the contrary, Ganimes was attacking crab fishing vessels in the Bering Sea.
When explaining the Barem infection caused by Dagahra, we use footage of the toxic starfish-like
creatures called Barem from "Rebirth of Mothra II."
To be perfectly clear, the novel actually describes these Barem as being bacteria.
—''Anguirus has never been able to defeat another monster without Godzilla's help.''
Although this statement is true when only talking about the Godzilla movies, it isn't entirely accurate.
In the novel "Godzilla At World's End" by Marc Cerasini, Anguirus single-handedly
beats up Gigan and drags him off into the Caspian Sea where the cyborg is presumed dead.
In addition to this, he defeated Destoroyah with the help of the K.D.F.
in "Godzilla: Legends #1," as we mentioned in the original video.
Time for a lightning round of very small errors, in 3…
2…
1...
Blood, not red liquid.
Also, this error in the opening.
... this Kaiju Profile's gonna be getting a remaster at some point in the future.
Skeleturtle...
"...documentary entitled「Mondo Cane」..."
It's pronounced more like Mondo Cane, not 'Mondou Kayne.'
At 5:18, the on-screen graphic accidentally labels
the release year of "Ebirah, Horror of the Deep" as 1968.
The movie was actually released in 1966.
SpaceGodzilla's telekinetic ability is called Gravity Tornado, not Photon Hurricane.
At 11:16 the on-screen text states that the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla weighs 500 metric tons.
It’s actually 600 metric tons.
The Kangaroo Kick splash-text in the abilities section is misspelled.
The 1998 Godzilla and Zilla are legally separate characters, in case you didn't catch that.
There are a few spots in the video where the creatures are seemingly confused,
such as an annotation reading "He can also jump on buildings in 「GODZILLA」"
when referring to Zilla's High Jump Kick.
During the History section, we accidentally stated that the two Rodans
destroyed Tokyo in the 1956 film.
While a Rodan did fly over Tokyo briefly, they actually laid waste to Fukuoka.
That's about it for now.
We’ll continue making these videos as necessary.
Some erroneous content is bound to slip through in our scripts, though we work hard to try to make that not so.
We're here to spread kaiju knowledge, so it's important to correct any mistakes!
Anyways, thanks for watching!
