Nagoya Castle
Nagoya Castle (名古屋城 is a Nagoya-jō)castle in Nagoya, Japan. It was built in the early 1620s, and now belongs to the City of Nagoya. It first appeared in Mothra vs. Godzilla.
History
Showa era
Mothra vs. Godzilla
As Godzilla rampaged across the countryside, he encountered Nagoya Castle on the outskirts of the city. As Godzilla continued to advance, he suddenly tripped on the castle's moat, and fell onto the keep, breaking it into several pieces.
Gamera vs. Gyaos
During Gyaos’s raid on Nagoya, he shot the castle’s keep with his Ultrasonic Scalpel, slicing it in half. The keep then promptly collapsed.
Heisei era
Godzilla vs. Mothra
After rising from the sea in his larval form, Battra approached Nagoya Castle, towering over it. He quickly dealt with the building by blasting it several times with his horn, and what was left was quickly crushed under his body. The attacks dealt on Battra by the opposing MBAW-93s and Type 90 Tanks did little damage to him as he moved on into the city of Nagoya itself.
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla
During his travel across Japan to reach SpaceGodzilla in Fukuoka, Godzilla passed through the city of Nagoya, walking by the now-rebuilt castle.
Trivia
- The Nagoya Castle prop is responsible for giving the MosuGoji suit its characteristic "wobbly-lip." During filming, Haruo Nakajima fell onto the prop while still in the suit after tripping on some of the miniatures, and loosened several of the teeth, as well as crushing the castle underneath him as he fell. Eiji Tsuburaya liked the scene, and thus kept it in the finished product.
