Now that I've had a chapter to mull it over, I wonder if the AK in Javelin AK stands for Anti-Kaijuu. It would make sense.

It's a pity that it's not having quite the same effect on Kaijuu that the normal "St. Javelin" is having on regular armored vehicles. Then again, the size and composition difference is substantial. I bet there's soft, shock absorbing layers in the monster's body structure too in addition to a hard outer shell.

That said, multiple direct hits to the head would probably scramble the brain. Similar to how maces and hammers that couldn't penetrate plate helms were used in melee combat to just send shockwaves into the brain to knock people out.

This fucking stealthy-ass cunt. How quiet is the monster that it made it under the bridge?! I know blizzards are loud, but I figure it must make some kind of noise, or at least tremors and such.

Yes sir, another $500 million to Lockheed Martin.

I wonder about how this kaiju normally finds the metal it likes so much - I doubt there are many army coms trucks in the abbys 0_0

Also I agree with translator, I like seeing the ო lady officer, hope she manages to see her husband

Is it me or is the grammar improving overall? Maybe ChatGPT is helping quite a bit, lmao.

Two things have occurred to me.
The first is the question of how/why amphibians would've evolved in an underwater environment at such a low depth. (Or if the researcher is right that they weren't always sealed beneath the Mariana trench, how they could've survived without any land.)


The second is that this's just an anti-materiel kaiju. It even follows the logic of the old joke about how an enemy's canteen/belt buckle are materiel.

No, it obviously stands for Abe's Knight.

For the first question... I'm thinking a massive underground cavern that somehow has air in it(do these things even breath air?), if they eventually travel down to the hollow earth they'll probably came across it, quite common for a hollow earth story

I really hope wife lady being in the coms unit isn't a red flag for her to be eaten.

Each rocket costs about 175k.

The monster just got the munchies. That's all.
