- Would just like to give a huge amount of gratitude to Joshua Sudomerski. My computer died on December 10th and have been otherwise locked out of updating until I was able to buy and setup a new one. During that time, though, the updates kept coming thanks to Joshua. So just want to extend an extra big kudos for that!
- Added patch notes for version 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 for Godzilla Battle Line
- Updated stats for Units and Monsters along with Leaders in Godzilla Battle Line while also adding the movement speed for Godzilla 2004 (Mechagodzilla 2021 still to come)
- Added more level up data to Leveling and Ranking in Godzilla Battle Line

- Hey everyone! With Christmas/Holidays almost upon us (and already here), I wanted to get a jump on delivering what I feel is a very special Christmas/Holiday present to you all on behalf of myself, and everyone on Toho Kingdom. We’d like to thank you for visiting the site and hopefully enjoying and learning from the content that makes up Toho Kingdom! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Conducted 30 years ago this month (December 1992) by journalist David Milner for “Cult Movies” magazine, this is what would be the original Godzilla film (and various sequels and other films) director Ishiro Honda’s final interview prior to his death in February 1993. When the interview was originally published in “Cult Movies” magazine in 1993, it was printed as a largely complete interview. Now, for the first time, the interview is being published in its completed form (although lightly edited for flow and no information lost).
In the interview, conducted at his home in Setagaya, Tokyo, Mr. Honda covers a wide range of subjects from the Godzilla series to his work in other films. Coming in at 17 pages long, there’s quite a bit of information to digest. For those of you who have read the old transcriptions of the “Cult Movies” Magazine either found online or have the older issues, there’s a bit of new information here in this new transcription, which has remained unreleased for 30 years. For those of you who have found Godzilla either by the Legendary Pictures films or the Toho films by yourself, via a friend or a loved one, and wanted to know more about Godzilla, I hope you find this interview educational and inspiring!
In addition to the interview text, I’m also adding the audio of the full interview which has never been released. The audio has been digitized from the original cassettes and while it isn’t the BEST quality, the interview is preserved (it does have a few hiccups here and there) and has a total running time of 3 hours 12 minutes and 9 seconds.
This interview is the first of many with other Toho luminaries, most of which will be posted with the original audio alongside each transcription. Because of the workload required, I cannot guarantee a time frame for releases but I will do my very best to post as quickly as possible.
