Development

The 12 Day Tale of the Monster that Died in 8 evolved out of Kaiju Defeat COVID, an online challenge started by Shinji Higuchi.[4] As described by Mark Schilling in The Japan Times, "The idea is to 'catch' an invisible monster (Higuchi thoughtfully demonstrates), 'magically' fuse it with your own monster and send the now strengthened beast hurling toward the camera (but not, Higuchi reminds us, hitting it) to crush the virus."[3]

Trivia

  • The 12 Day Tale of the Monster that Died in 8 is the first black and white kaiju film since Gamera in 1965.
  • Saito's capsule kaiju are named after medications under study as COVID-19 treatments. The concept of capsule kaiju itself comes from the TV series Ultraseven, and in episode 4 of the web series, Saito sculpts his creatures into the faces of Miclas, Windom, and Agira.
  • Posters for Submersion of Japan and Nessie are visible in Shinji Higuchi's home.
