Sakuya (
Name
The kanji characters that compose Sakuya's name individually mean "blossom" (咲) and "night" (夜), respectively. Her name is also rendered phonetically in katakana characters (サクヤ). She is identified in onscreen text as being a Biollante (ビオランテ Biorante), and is additionally referred to in dialogue as the Violon Tree (ヴィオロンの木 Vioron no Ki), referencing the name of the Violon Forest, itself a reference to "violon," the French word for "violin" which was the real-life inspiration behind Biollante's name.[1] The English subtitles on the GODZILLA OFFICIAL by TOHO YouTube channel's uploads of Godziban change this to Bio Tree, matching their translation of the location as "Bio Forest."
Design
Sakuya possesses two forms, each of which is based on Biollante's Flower Beast and Plant Beast Forms from Godzilla vs. Biollante. In her first form, Sakuya resembles a gigantic rose with a toothed mouth inside of the flower and countless tentacle-like vines, as well as a glowing orange fleshy sac located within her abdomen. Sakuya's second form is much larger, with a long crocodilian head with a tusked mouth covered with teeth and a glowing orange nucleus in her stomach. In this form, she has orange eyes.
Origins
Sakuya is known as the Bio Tree, a gigantic plant monster who defends the mysterious Bio Forest from threats such as the evil Desghidorah. She possesses some unknown connection to Mirei, the mother of the Three Godzilla Brothers, as she speaks in her voice and refers to the brothers by name.
History
- Godziban (web 2019-) [episodes 44-47]
Godziban
When her ancient nemesis Desghidorah escaped from his prison and threatened the Bio Forest, Sakuya's daughter Erika recruited Little and his brothers Godzilla-kun and Minilla to help stop the three-headed demon. The Matangos Matan and Tango transported the brothers to the Bio Forest, where they witnessed Sakuya battle Desghidorah. Desghidorah seemingly destroyed Sakuya, but she broke apart into spores of energy and merged with the Three Godzilla Brothers before taking on her more powerful evolved form. With the three brothers serving as her tentacles, Sakuya turned the tables against Desghidorah and subdued him, sealing him away once again. With the Bio Forest safe once again for the time being, the Matangos returned the brothers to Godzi Godzi Island, where they reported their success to Erika. Godzilla-kun vowed to return to Sakuya's aid once Desghidorah inevitably escaped once again.
