Gojira (Godzilla) Page #2

---

So then, how can we explain the presence of such a creature during the present day?

It probably survived by eating deep sea organisms occupying a specific niche.

However, recent experimental nuclear detonations may have drastically altered its natural habitat.

I would even speculate that a hydrogen bomb explosion may have removed it from its surroundings.

Incredible! Really!

I have strong evidence to support my theory.

First, the organism we found embedded in Godzilla's footprint, a trilobite.

This is a photo of the creature.

This is it.

This creature has been extinct for two million years, yet here it is in perfect physical condition.

Next is the sediment that we found in the trilobite's shell.

That sediment is sand.

There is no doubt that this sand matches the deposits found from the Jurassic period.

This sand is similar to the red clay found in the stratum of that particular period.

Professor, how do you know that this has something to do with the atomic bombs?

Because our Geiger counter readings of the radiation in this sand indicate the presence of Strontium-90.

Professor Tanabiya will explain this better in a moment, but basically, this sand that came from Godzilla has absorbed a massive dose of radiation, the type generated only from an atomic bomb.

Order, please! Order, please!

The evidence suggests that Godzilla itself must have absorbed an enormous amount of atomic radiation.

Order, please! Order, please!

Chairman! Chairman!

Mr. Ooyama.

I believe Professor Yamane's report is of such extreme importance, it must not be made public.

What are you saying?!

Because it is so important, it should be made public!

Yes! Yes!

Be quiet!

What I mean is, if this Godzilla is the product from the use of atomic weapons...

Exactly! That's exactly what it is!

She's right!

That's my point! World affairs are fragile enough as it is!

If this were to be made public, can you imagine the consequences?

The truth is the truth!

That is what makes it such a delicate matter!

The improper handling of such a notion would engulf the country in a panic!

The government, the economy and international relations would plunge into total chaos!

You stupid idiot! What are you saying?!

You dare to call me an idiot?! Apologize! Apologize!

The truth must be made public!

Counter-Godzilla Headquarters Established.

Seventeen Ships Already Lost.

It's terrible, huh? Contaminated tuna and radioactive fallout, and now this Godzilla to top it all off!

What will happen if he appears out of Tokyo Bay?

First, he'll probably eat you in one bite. - You're horrible!

They seemed certain about the accuracy of their report.

How could we create such a thing?

I guess I'll have to find a shelter soon.

Find one for me, too!

The shelters again? That stinks.

Counter-Godzilla Headquarters Isn't there any way they can get rid of this creature?

Longitude 138 to 138.07 degrees east.

Latitude 33.04 to 33.08 degrees north.

These are the coordinates of the anti-Godzilla frigate fleet.

Depth charges will be dropped in the area.

So vessels in the vicinity should be warned.

That's all. - Is that all? That's all.

In response to the public outcry, the government is attempting to get rid of the monster known as Godzilla.

A frigate fleet has been ordered to begin a massive depth-charge attack in order to get rid of the creature.

The 10 vessel fleet left port at 10:00 a.m., heading for the coast of Odo Island.

At 10:
19 a.m., they received orders to commence with their attack.

What's wrong with them?

The professor is a zoologist.

He doesn't want them to kill Godzilla.

Father!

Father!

Father...

Please leave me alone for a while.

Emiko, please turn off the light.

Yes.

Godzilla! It's Godzilla!

Watch out! Watch out! Please don't panic!

What a bother!

Have you tried solving the problem together?

They're sticking to their point of view.

How much longer will they keep us waiting like this?

For as long as they want. It's annoying!

Please, Professor. Have a seat. Excuse me.

Thank you for coming. You're welcome.

This is quite a problem, Professor.

If this keeps up, we'll have to suspend the international ship routes.

Have you found a way?

Is there something we can do to defeat him?

So, that's it?

Professor Yamane, let's be honest.

If there's a way to defeat Godzilla, we'd like to know.

It's impossible!

He absorbed massive amounts of atomic radiation, but Godzilla still survived.

What do you think could kill him?

Instead, we should focus on why he is still alive.

That should be our top priority!

Professor Yamane's argument is absolutely correct!

This isn't the time to behave like idiots.

We should focus on scientific research!

Yes, but research at what cost?

You're right! That's the question!

Hagiwara, interview this gentleman.

Dr. Serizawa?

Yes, he's Professor Yamane's future son-in-law.

Oh? The girl's fiance?

I'm sure my father will understand.

There's no reason for him to apologize.

But I can't help feeling uneasy when I think about Serizawa.

If it wasn't for the war, he wouldn't have received such a terrible scar.

Ogata...

Ever since I was a child, I've always thought of him as an older brother.

Even now, my feelings for him have not changed at all.

Emiko, thanks.

Miss, Mr. Hagiwara would like to see you.

Mr. Hagiwara? Yes, the reporter.

Hello! Excuse me.

Thank you.

What do you want? Um... I'd like to ask you a favor.

The truth is, I tried to talk to Dr. Serizawa, but he refused to see me.

So, I was wondering if you could introduce me to him?

It's for our daily newspaper. I'm sorry, but I need your help.

It's perfect.

I should go along with you to speak with Serizawa personally.

You're right, but I should break it to him my way.

Please let me go to speak with him first.

You're right. Well, go ahead.

Thank you. I'm sorry, but we should go.

I have a ride waiting outside.

I'll try my best to talk to him.

I'll help Shinkichi with his studies. See you later.

Serizawa Research Laboratory

There must be some mistake.

I haven't spoken to anyone about the importance of my research.

It's the truth. A journalist in Switzerland met with a German scientist who stated that your project would be an incredible breakthrough in anti-Godzilla operations in Japan when completed.

I don't have any German scientist associates.

Really? Then what is the nature of your research right now?

No. I'd rather not speak about it.

Well, thank you for your time.

No, I'm sorry that I wasn't much help.

Excuse me.

I'll stay a little longer. Really? Then, I'll be going.

I wanted to find out what his research was all about.

He's very moody, but please try to ask him again at another time.

I will. Good-bye.

Have a safe trip.

Well, what are you really studying now?

My father is also wondering what you are studying these days.

Emiko, would you like to see it?

Yes. This must be strictly confidential.

Sure.
