Production
Kiyotaka Taguchi's tokusatsu unit filmed Pikadon's trek through Shinjuku from January 8, 2014, to January 14.[2] They filmed the real Yasukuni Street area he travels through from the same angle, allowing real cars to be composited in front of him.[2] The sheer size of the Tokyo Metropolitian Government Building in relation to Pikadon required a 1/25th scale portion to be constructed for the monster to smash, whereas the collapse of the towers was accomplished with a separate model built at a smaller scale.[2]
