English Channel
The English Channel is a stretch of sea between the United Kingdom and France. At the Strait of Dover, its narrowest width, it is only 20 miles wide. The English Channel appears in a scene in the 2004 Godzilla film Godzilla Final Wars.
History
Millennium era
Godzilla Final Wars
Swimming along the English Channel, the giant sea serpent Manda approached Normandy when he was confronted by the Gotengo. During the battle, the Gotengo lured Manda above an undersea volcano, where he was seemingly burned to death by the eruption. However, Manda survived, and burning yellow-hot, headed straight for the Gotengo. The Gotengo's captain, Douglas Gordon, used the ship's Absolute Zero Cannon to freeze Manda solid, and then destroyed him by ramming him with the ship's drill nose, shattering the serpent into chunks of ice.
Reiwa era
Godzilla Singular Point
As monsters began to spread across the world, a school of Mandas appeared in the Strait of Dover, the narrowest portion of the English Channel, and began moving towards London by travelling up the Thames Estuary.
Trivia
- Despite the English Channel being relatively shallow, in Godzilla Final Wars it is apparently deep enough to support an underwater volcano. In addition, no volcanoes exist anywhere near the area in real life, making the inclusion of one somewhat bizarre.
- It's erroneously stated in Godzilla Final Wars that the English Channel is in an ocean off the coast of Normandy, with the area Manda appears in being described as the 'ocean floor'. This is incorrect, because the entirety of Normandy is on the southern side of the English Channel, with the entrance to the Atlantic Ocean being over 100 miles to the west.
