History
Showa Series
Mothra
New Kirk City was attacked by Mothra while she was searching for her missing Shobijin, accidentally causing hurricane force winds with the flap of her wings. This caused much destruction to the streets and the surrounding shops as well as the rooftops. The Shobijin were being help captive by Clark Nelson, a greedy business man trying to use the fairies beautiful singing for profit. The Roliscan police were able to find Nelson and kill him. The humans then painted Mothra’s religious symbol on an airport runway to get her attention. Mothra soon came, and the humans returned the Shobijin to her. Mothra then immediately went to her home Infant Island to be with her people once again.
Trivia
- Rolisica was created to serve as a stand-in for the then-two world superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, in order to avoid controversy. Rolisica's name reflects this, as it partially combines the names "Russia" and "America." The negative portrayal of America through Rolisica is likely due to the controversial 1960 revisions to the security treaty first made in 1951, that gave the US more control and less say to Japan. Many Japanese citizens protested against this when the revisions were first made.
