Add Showa Godzilla Gills to Bio

[LamangoKaijura]

When will Showa Godzilla's gills be added to his bio page?

It says so in this book by Tomoyuki.

This has nothing to do with commonly asked questions, I have split the post and formed its own topic.

If you can translate the page into English correctly (or get someone who can), provide the ICD number from the book this was sourced from so we can properly source then you can send the information to Gigabowser or Arbok for review. Its up to them from there.

This. I've seen the pic floating around, but never got to checking up a source. If you know what book it's from, you can send the info my way or to Anthony. Luckily the Showa Godzilla was recently updated, so it'd be an easy add

It's from a Tomoyuki book. I'll check with the GojiWiki on the official title when I'm not freaking out.
Edit:
"According to the informational book Definitive Edition Godzilla Introduction, written by Tomoyuki Tanaka, the small holes located on the front of the Showa Godzilla's neck are gills, which allow him to breathe underwater."
The 14th version of said book.

Hey, sorry it took so long to get back! Managed to snag a copy of the book, and it turns out the bit of the holes being gills is indeed true But that's just the tip of the iceberg! There's tons of really interesting notes for a lot of monsters. Going to have to jot down a lot of these for later. For instance, Godzilla's tail being similar to a spring (it's how he pounces at King Ghidorah on Planet X), Mothra's body emitting a "mysterious gas" that makes her immune to radiation, Gabara's venom-covered green skin, King Caesar's floppy ears being used for intimidation, and the moon-crested horn on Showa King Ghidorah is a "telepathic horn" solely used for him to search for planets with living things to eradicate!

Wish I could find the post but someone on tumblr shared a bit about Godzilla's impenetrable hide on the surface helps him adapt to intense pressures under the ocean.

I wish TK bio writers would use official sources. Same with other sites.

Got the time to translate them, the money to obtain them and give them to someone who writes the bios?

What denotes an offical source, just because it was published? What happens when multiple offical sources contradict each other?

How are the Wikis using any sources at all since I closed down the Monster Archives?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Written by Tomoyuki Tanaka for one.

Yeah, the wikis have gotten better bios now, and better spelling, and better pictures since you closed down.

[Mac Daddy MM]

Yeah. It has to be really difficult to spend weekly allowances on books you can't read, scan the images and then plug the Japanese text in a translating app.

Funny you mention it. Cause someone apparently owns this book that is a staff member. Really clonks your coconuts, huh?

Not really. Mainly because he doesn't just translate the books and put them up online word-for-word.

Don't need to do word for word, do you? You just translate the ones no one knows yet. Like Ghidorah's crescent moon having telepathy powers.

[MechaGoji Bro7503]

Interesting stuff. If its by Tanaka then we should go by it. KG's cresent horn having telepathy life finding powers is neat.

Or Gigan's flamethrower ability or Showa MechaGodzilla's multiple missile types and Unisot? Or King Caesar actually being a golem? How about Hedorah actually having internal organs?

Your sources are much of the same sources that TK has. Yeah, the Wikis can get the info up easier because, you know, it's a Wiki. The big downside of it being a Wiki? Yeah, that it's a Wiki. Last time I checked (which I admit, was months ago), ya'll had the same G:TS bios that were swiped directly from the MA.

And let's not even start with the "design titles" or whatever the Wikis give kaiju. "ShodaiMeganura." "RaishuTirano."

http://wikizilla.org/wiki/RaishuTirano

For your "accurate sources" for such basic information as the design names/titles ya'll list, they sure are source-less.

To be fair, the site's recently started to crackdown on removing non-Godzilla design names and plagiarized bios/plot summaries. It's a work-in-progress, for sure, but it'll all be fixed by us soon enough.

A lot of the suits are fan named, dum dum.

Sounds like a legit source.

[LamangoKaijura]

The only suits that received official names were SOME of the Godzilla suits. Not all of them.
