— Paul Stewart (The War of the Gargantuas) |
Dr. Paul Stewart (ポール・スチュワート Pōru Suchuwāto) is a character in the 1966 Toho film The War of the Gargantuas.
Personality
While Stewart has a nonchalant disposition and a wry sense of humor, he also exhibits a passive aggressive streak, and - within the realm of civility - becomes combative when confronted by the arguments of angry, prying members of press and the opinions of cold authority figures. He exhibits a modicum of chivalry in his attempts to protect Akemi Togawa from Gaira.
History
Showa era
The War of the Gargantuas
Stewart is a scientist who studied the infant Sanda in his laboratory in Kyoto. The infant escaped before any conclusions could be drawn about him, so he and his peers did not give the incident any afterthought until 5 years later, when a Green Gargantua is seen destroying ships and eating people. He helps the JSDF to determine that the rampaging kaiju is in fact, a Gargantua, but due to its violent nature, Stewart has a hard time believing that it is the same Gargantua that he and his team had cared for. He eventually determines that there are in fact two Gargantuas, but he does not believe they have good intentions (if any at all), until he sees the adult Sanda save the life of his assistant Akemi Togawa. He then aids the defense forces in coming up with strategies to ward off or defeat the monsters, while advocating for Sanda's life. He begins to theorize, after seeing some of Sands and Gaira's cells, that Gaira is just some cells of Sanda's that spawned a new being. Eventually, the monsters begin to advance on Tokyo, and Paul allows Akemi to turn Sanda around. The two fight into the sea, and are presumably killed.
