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!

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?

McFarlane Toys Pacific Rim mini figures/dioramas briefly revealed here. Saw a few kaiju including Leatherback, Raiju (!!!), and a red one I don't immediately recognize. Maybe a comic exclusive kaiju?

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!!! "Coming out relatively soon."
