If you worked for an insurance company, monster insurance would be a big sell in Japan.

Instead of wars, we can just have contests between the country's specific kaiju (eg. England uses Gorgo, Korea uses Yongary, etc), that is if we are going outside of the Japanese kaiju universe.


Oh dear. Japan will conquer the world within five years.

Being able to see a Monster Fight either on the News or Live.
Some of the defenses that we would have could be really futuristic. (Space Titanium and Maser Canons, perhaps...)
Unstoppable Fury , Unthinkable Power , Unbreakable Will.

Yeah, cause they have a lot so even if Godzilla fails them they still have even worse monsters like Spacegodzilla.

I dont think you could count monsters from space as belonging to any one country.

Yeah it's just that in terms of monsters worst then even Godzilla himself that was the first one to pop in my head. I guess Destroyah would count.

Anyone else think there could be a chance of world peace? I could imagine everyone banning together to fight the monsters. Or at least help each other out when one appears.

World Peace?

No.

I think governments and other groups would still fight and even have new reasons like in the form of getting DNA for science and not sharing ala Godzilla vs Biollante.

Working together?

Yes.

While we'd still fight amongst ourselves that doesn't mean we're gonna ignore a big threat like giant monsters. The U.N.G.C.C. Mechagodzilla was probably funded by several nations, not just Japan.

So wars would still be fought amongst people but they will also still share and support some ideas to be rid of things like diseases and giant monsters because unlike people monsters and diseases are a threat to everyone, the whole world not just one group or government or nation.

Not a chance in hell.

The only upside I can actually see ironically stems from Hedorah. Y'see, cause with him around, we'll have no choice but to research green energy resources.

... And yet I can't help but shake the feeling that there'd be at least one group of yahoos that'd try and disclaim Hedorah's ties with pollution.
Today, at the edge of our hope...

At the end of our time, we have chosen to believe in each other.

Today we face the monsters that are at our door.

TODAY WE ARE CANCELLING THE APOCALYPSE!

I cannot think of a single positive outcome from a world where monstrous mutants and ancient giants walk the Earth and can withstand human defensive measures.

Like, I'm an optimistic and humanistic kind of a person and all I can see is a series of totalitarian, isolationist nations locked in a Cold War with one another and the monsters.

We already have nations like that. What is concerning is that those nations might try to use kaiju as living weapons.

If you lived in a small town not in Japan, you'd have a high probability of being safe. Outside of Japan, monsters are always attacking big cities.

Wait, but I live in a small Arizona town. I would have to worry about kumonga!

I was going to agree that moving to some remote, out-of-the-way place seems like a good way to stay safe. But then I started to think about it, and... well, even places like that get kaiju from time to time. Examples:

- Siberia. Anguirus was wandering around there in GvsMG.

- Antarctica. The battle against Godzilla in Final Wars.

- The Sahara. GINO fought some kind of living Sphinx there in GTS.

- The Arctic. Gamera, Cerasini's Rodan, the mutant lemmings from GTS, Rhedosaurus.... probably more, too.

- Central Africa. The Giant Bat from GTS.

- Any remote island anywhere. Too many examples to name.

And so on. There wouldn't be anywhere to hide.

Destroy All Monsters is a good example of why no where is safe. Hell Spacegodzilla destroyed a NASA space station on his way to Earth.
