Kaijuu Jieitai - Vol. 19 Ch. 59 - Rescue

[rluka]

From which series is that one? Ultraman?

Also is that how search and rescue look for people buried under avalanche? Make a row and poke the ground until they stabbed something?

Yes, actually. Sometimes dogs are involved too, but it's mainly poking the snow until you find something.

The whole supernatural power stuff kinda ruins the story

I think it can be done well, such as the newtype space magic in Gundam, but here it really does feel like it only serves to advance the plot.

Considering recent events near the Scarborough Shoal, I vote to name the kaiju on page 53 either the Guilin or Hutao!

It feels like the author wrote themselves into a corner and supernatural was the only way they could make the plot go foward.

I'm willing to believe the author knows what they're doing.
A lot of the "supernatural" things in this series are theoretically possible extremes of real world phenomena.

Giant monsters? Extreme deep sea gigantism.
Nue EMP? Scaled up electrocytes(the cells that make electric eels electric).
Nue flying? Using the electrocytes to achieve a form of quantum levitation.

Honestly, you could make a case for most things in this series, human-monster ESP included, to be forms of electrogenesis and electroreception.

How do they sealed in the hollowed earth in the first place considering Nue resemble a Japanese myth? Would it be revealed that there was once a global spanning civilization and was attacked . they have won a Pyrrhic victory by sealing the hollowed earth and in turn devolved back to the stone age.

 

[cocosusprime]

Wait, why can it fly?
Where in the undersea caverns would it have enough space to fly?

 

[fight2live]

at this point they better hope for benevolent godzilla

Maybe? I was more getting the impression that the creative direction shifted. There was always that supernatural aspect to glasses man’s character, only now has it been turned up to 11. Kinda like how the Force is when we see Obi Wan trick some troopers, compared to when Luke is lifting a damn jetplane out of a swamp an episode later.
The characters design suddenly getting goofy in this arc also suggests a shift in creative direction.

Anyhow, maybe they’ll go back and turn the space magic into something with a predictive model behind it, like what they did with psychoframes in Gundam, or with song boosters in Macross 7.

oh Republic of Innowa is a fictional country, does that mean disaster is about to happen?
