— Narrator (Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo) |
The Giant God Warriors (巨神兵 Kyoshinhei) are biomechanical god kaiju who first appeared in the 1984 anime film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and later reappeared in the 2012 Studio Ghibli short film Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo, which serves as the film's prequel.
Development
Hideaki Anno animated the Giant God Warriors in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, based on Hayao Miyazaki's original storyboards for the monsters. Anno wanted to draw his own storyboards for a scene in which an Ohmu horde battles a God Warrior who tosses an Ohmu into the air before being crushed by the horde. Unfortunately, he was not able to create storyboards for the scene due to time constraints. Accordingly, Anno requested Miyazaki create storyboards for a scene where one of the Warriors melts.[3]
For Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo, Takayuki Takeya constructed several new 180-cm-tall models based on sketches made by Mahiro Maeda.[2]
Design
The Giant God Warrior's spore form resembles an orange glowing powder, it slowly floats in the air.
Giant God Warrior in its final form resembles a humanoid-like creature. It is brown in color and has 2 green glass-like eyes on its head, 4 yellow glowing spikes on its shoulders, 6 smaller spikes on its back, several small green lights on its chest and belly, and 2 small green lights on its forehead. Its body resembles a human skeleton while its head is more alien-shaped. It has big teeth, when it uses its beam attack its teeth turn upwards, and then the weapon comes out of its mouth.
Its flying form is not much different than its final form, its spikes on its back glow more than usual and they are much longer with rays of light between each spike giving the impression of wings.

To be added.
Heisei era
Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo
Above Tokyo, a strange orange powder began to form. The city's population began talking about the mysterious powder through the internet, many wondering what it was. As people watched from below, the powder coalesced into the God Warrior, who floated over the city. Descending from the sky, the God Warrior stood still for a while, before it grew a set of yellow wings that seemed to be composed of light. It then opened its mouth to reveal a laser-like weapon, which it proceeded to fire on the city, obliterating it in a matter of hours and initiating the Seven Days of Fire. Shortly after this, an army of God Warriors descended from the sky to join its comrade, and proceeded to attack the entire world. Over a period of just seven days, the God Warriors would go on to subjugate the entire world, leaving humanity with little hope of survival.
