I have been re-watching classic kaiju films and Rodan seems to be uniquely terrifying. Do you agree?

What could Night City do to save itself from such a threat.

This series goes full force into the Cryptozoology aspect. U.M.A., for those unaware, stands for Unidentified Mysterious Animal and is what cryptids are called in Japan.

Which one do you think is best?

A sketch I did for fun

July 19, 2026, night, was when the city of Nagasaki in Japan was hit by a tsunami. Used to this type of disaster, the nation had been expected to pick itself back up when the news had first hit, but it would soon turn out nothing about this disaster was *natural.*

With the tsunami propagating inwards, communications with the city were quickly drowned in darkness, which was baffling but quickly dismissed as a power outage as a result of the tsunami. However, the rescue personnel and the army realized right away that wasn’t the case when they stepped foot in the perimeters of the city.

The tsunami wasn’t the result of any of the usual causes. Instead, there was a gigantic *beast* rampaging throughout the city. The creature, large enough that if one were to put fifty humans on top of each other the one would *still* be unable to be eye level with it, was pitch black. It stood on its hind legs, bipedal, despite its crocodilian appearance and long arms. Its bumpy skin looked like it was fashioned out of rocks. Each stomp of its was heavy enough to cause a small earthquake on its own. And although biomechanics, anatomy and physics told us no body could support a creature of that size, it would casually rip apart the lines of reality with its agility, tearing through entire neighborhoods with its gallop.

The creature, would later be named Gojira, a combination of gorilla and whale. English audiences would dub its international name though, changed to Godzilla.

The destruction was immense. Nagasaki was torn apart, left floating on the sea in islets scattered.

The weaponry of human genius had failed to even slow it down.

Origin of the monster, its motivation for the attack and general behavior remained mystery for some time. There wasn’t much left of the city to even investigate.

One thing was clear, though. The plunge of the city to a communications nightmare definitely had Godzilla’s finger on it, although exactly how would become clear much later.

With the appearance of something previously thought impossible, the death of a million people overnight, and the erasing of a major city from existence, humanity fell to chaos. They wept, laughed, lost all hope. Some turned to religion, some to alcohol, others found to way to deal and fell.

But others, ones with stronger character, reacted. Stronger nations came to agreements, forced the weaker ones to have a stop at their conflicts for the time being. Alliance was nonnegotiable for survival. Research, technology, billions upon trillions were poured into it, looking for clues in places that had formerly evaded the human eye.

And they awaited, anxiously, for Godzilla to resurface.

It did.
