Raiju the kaiju: category IV, and number 1 in my heart

[frostycatblr-fandom-files]

Pacific Rim Events on January 12th, 2025...

AKA: Triple Event Day

Operation Pitfall will be carried out

Category IV Kaijus Scunner and Raiju emerge from the Breach as Jaegers 'Gipsy Danger' and 'Striker Eureka' are deployed to the Pacific Ocean to destroy it as part of Operation Pitfall - a high-risk mission with the intention of destroying the Breach via thermonuclear warhead

The first Cat. V Kaiju, Slattern, also emerges from the Breach

Cat. IV Otachi's (Jan. 8th) - unnamed and uncategorized - infant Kaiju escapes from the womb and self-strangles on the umbilical cord shortly after in Hong Kong

Newton Geiszler and Hermann Gottlieb Drift using the infant Kaiju's (secondary) brain; discover Operation Pitfall cannot succeed without Kaiju DNA that serves as the necessary key to enter/exit through the Breach

Gipsy Danger's pilots Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori kill Raiju; Striker Eureka's pilots Chuck Hansen and Stacker Pentecost deliberately detonate the warhead to sacrifice themselves in hopes of killing the remaining Kaiju and giving G.D. a chance of making it through the Breach with Raiju's corpse

Kaiju Scunner and Striker Eureka are wiped out; Slattern survives the explosion, severely wounded

G.D. trades Raiju for Slattern by tackling it into the Breach; Becket uses the nuclear turbine point-blank range to kill the Cat. V

Through the Breach and now within the Anteverse, Becket uses G.D.'s nuclear reactor to prime the Jaeger for self-destruction after ejecting Mori's escape pod first; ejects himself before the resulting explosion destroys both the Breach and Kaiju facility within the Anteverse

Becket and Mori both survive

The War Clock is stopped, and humanity wins the Kaiju War (August 10th, 2013 - January 12th, 2025)

Happy New Year!!!

There are now officially only 12 days left to enjoy "Pacific Rim" as a movie portraying "futuristic events"!!!

Important dates to add to your calendar!!!

Between January 1 and January 8, 2025:

Striker Eureka is decommissioned from active combat.

Category IV Kaiju, Mutavore, breaks through Anti-Kaiju Wall and is killed by Striker Eureka, thus proving the Anti-Kaiju Wall ineffective.

Stacker Pentecost recruits Raleigh Becket for breach assault.

Raleigh Becket arrives at the Hong Kong Shatterdome.

Pilot tryouts with Raleigh Becket begin proper.

Raleigh and Mako nearly destroy the Shatterdome during their first attempt at drifting together in Gipsy Danger, prompting Stacker Pentecost to ground her, and inform Raleigh that he would be paired with another co-pilot.

January 8, 2025:

Double Event.

Newton Geiszler drifts with a Kaiju brain.

Category IV Kaijus, Leatherback and Otachi, emerge from the breach and attack Hong Kong.

Crimson Typhoon, Cherno Alpha, and Striker Eureka are deployed.

Crimson Typhoon is destroyed and the Wei Tang brothers are killed by Otachi.

Cherno Alpha is destroyed and the Kaidanovskys are killed by Leatherback.

Striker Eureka is incapacitated by Leatherback's EMP, and Herc Hansen's arm is broken.

Since Gipsy Danger is analog and the only Jaeger able to withstand the EMP (don't ask! I didn't quite get that part!), Stacker finally agrees to let Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori co-pilot her in the field.

Stranded with an unresponsive Jaeger, Herc and Chuck Hansen decide they should do something really, really stupid climb on the top of the head of Striker Eureka and shoot at it with flare guns. For the record that was Herc's dumbass idea!

To absolutely no one's surprise, the flare guns do absolutely no damage to the Kaiju whatsoever, and they only manage to piss Leatherback off but still look badass doing it!

Gipsy Danger is deployed and saves Herc and Chuck Hansen 's sorry asses.

Chuck Hansen is revealed as a secret Gipsy Danger fanboy.

Leatherback and Otachi are killed by Gipsy Danger.

Otachi's baby Kaiju is born and dies via strangulation by umbilical cord during pursuit of Newton Geiszler.

January 12, 2025:

Triple Event.

Category IV Kaiju, Scunner and Raiju emerge from the Breach.

Since Herc Hansen is unable to co-pilot Striker Eureka with his son, Stacker Pentecost decides to take his place in the conn-pod.

Stacker Pentecost launches "Operation Pitfall", an assault involving Gipsy Danger and Striker Eureka on the Breach.

Category 5 Kaiju, Slattern, emerges from the Breach.

Raiju is killed by Gipsy Danger.

Striker Eureka self detonates thermonuclear bomb near the Breach, killing Scunner and a bunch of fishes and badly wounding Slattern.

Slattern is killed by Gipsy Danger.

Gipsy Danger uses Slattern's dead body as a "bar code" to grant them access to the Anteverse through the Breach.

Raleigh Becket sends Mako Mori to safety in her escape pod after she loses consciousness upon entering the Anteverse.

Raleigh Becket arms Gipsy's nuclear reactor to self-destruct, destroys the Breach, and narrowly manages to escape the Anteverse through his own escape pod before the Breach collapses.

Herc Hansen stops the War Clock!

pacific rim doesnt count otachis baby as a separate kaiju signature

otachi emerged from the breach as part of the predicted historic first kaiju DOUBLE event along with leatherback. only after those two does the kaiju predictive model pattern increase to three with raiju, scunner, and slattern as the very first triple event

prochoice kaiju believe life begins at first city stomped. pacific rim said abort that thang

Okay Pacific Rim fandom, it's time to talk about the feedback cradle.

So, you know these things, right? This is the upper part of the Pilot Motion Rig, that whole thing rangers stand in to control the Jaeger.

(Screencap from quiteunlikely.net)

So I need you to pay attention to this part:

(Screencap from cap-that.com)

This is the feedback cradle.

So what's it do?

The novelization calls it a "full-spectrum neural transference plate." The feedback cradle is responsible for transferring the pilots' nerve impulses to the Jaeger, which controls its movements.

But that's not all it does. The feedback cradle also collects sensory data from the Jaeger's body to provide tactile feedback to the pilots through their circuitry suits - the black inner layer of their drivesuits.

The first layer, the circuity suit, was like a wetsuit threaded with a mesh of synaptic processors. The pattern of processor relays looked like circuitry on the outside of the suit, gleaming gold against its smooth black polymer material. These artificial synapses transmitted commands to the Jaeger’s motor systems as fast as the pilot’s brain could generate them, with lag times close to zero. (Page 16)

Why? Travis Beacham explained on his blog:

Being able to "feel" the Jaeger is critical to driving it. Consider a conventional remote-controlled robot hand holding a full styrofoam cup. For the operator, it's really difficult to judge how hard to hold the cup without spilling or crushing it because you're getting no feedback from the hand. So the Jaegers' control system was engineered so that the pilots' minds would get sensory input from the Jaeger itself. This sensory awareness of the mech's physical environment makes it a lot easier to keep their balance and coordinate a variety of complex moves and tasks.

A lot of people are unaware that this exists because it's not explicitly mentioned in the movie. But it's absolutely part of the story. This is why Raleigh screams when Knifehead stabs Lady Danger's arm, and when Raiju rips Lady Danger's arm off. He's receiving sensory input through the feedback cradle.

(And no, getting severe sensory feedback doesn't cause the pilots actual bodily harm. What messed up Raleigh's arm happened well after Knifehead stabbed Lady Danger's arm, sometime between getting ready to fire the I-19 Plasmacaster at Knifehead and walking the Jaeger back to shore.)

Please reblog so we can see what as many people think as possible!

[giantmonsterpolls]

Hold up I gotcha. Firstly: Rising is just the latest adaptation, Ultraman as a whole first debuted in 1966. Since then there’s been so many shows that the Ultra Series now holds the Guinness World Record for most spinoffs of any TV show. Secondly: Pacific Rim was inspired by Ultraman in many ways and GTD is an Ultraman fan!

The most notable pieces of Ultra Series insp in PacRim: - the whole “Kaiju/Aliens saw Earth as habitable because of climate change” is a plot point that occurs several times in Ultraman, mostly in later series - Raiju was stated by GTD to have been inspired by Gabora, an Ultra kaiju, specifically the facial plates which open to reveal an interior head:

If you want to look more into Ultraman, I recommend starting with Shin Ultraman, a film adaptation of the original TV series which involved much of the crew behind Shin Godzilla, including Hidaeki Anno as director (Anno is a lifelong Ultraman fan, directed and acted in a fan film in highschool, and NGE includes quite a bit of nods and inspiration). Gabora appears in it, with quite the glowup of a redesign (And- spoilers- An origin change to being an alien bioweapon, much like Raiju!)

I can also recommend Ultraman Blazar, the latest TV show. It’s available (for free, with ads, with multi-language subs and English dubbing) on the Tsuburaya Productions YouTube channel.

Have fun!

Sooooo Ultraman is just animated glorified Pacific Rim?

[julianobungus]

YES YES YES PACRIM IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!! so your feelings & infodumping? totally felt AND related to. i LOVE it. uprising fell wayyyy short for me too, though </3 (liwen shao was so... so hot though. hey girl. hit my line any time.) those are SICK picks!!! esp karloff.. . . that bitch is fuckin icky to look at, so, like.. PERFECT job. and the inherent horror of being stuck with a gator underwater very much comes through STRONG in raiju LKGHJLDGKHDFGLDJ i'm Basic as hell, so otachi is my favorite, but i'm pretty partial to slattern also. god the fuckin design work on these bitches is just,, , , so elite. THEY R SO GOOD!!!! and pacific rim AUs????? FUCK. putting your favorite ships in the drift? FUCK. toh in pacrim-verse slaps hard this film is so good. BARK BARK

Hehe, I'm glad we're on the same level. Shao certainly was attractive too~

But moreover, the designs in that film are peak. They're so memorable and alien. It's what most kaiju flicks should strive for regarding beast design.

Also, AUs? Hells yeah, mate. Lemme think of some TOH pairings that would be drift compatible:

Luz/Hunter

Luz/Camila

Alador/Amity

Edric/Emira

Lilith/Hooty

Gus/Willow

Luz/Belos (after some pratice, of course)

Fuck, this is giving me ideas now. Imagine one pilot experiencing the other's trauma - one of them getting lost in the drift and the other seeing how bad things got. Luz seeing how hard it was growing up in Gravesfield, him being abandoned by Caleb, him killing Caleb.

Ed and Em do it more-or-less perfectly since they've shared the other's trauma already. Alador and Amity's relationship actually mends as a result of it.
