| How the hell does Japan cover the costs of reconstruction and remuneration to its citizens after a fight between kaiju? The sheer devastation caused by these fights to rebuild and account for the mass casualties that result from all of the carnage must place a huge economic burden on the county. I’m assuming the low birth rate is also a thing in these shows. Now, add to that the massive number of people who die from getting caught in the middle of a fight between two skyscraper-sized monsters. How does Japan even continue to exist in these scenarios? Japan, in these franchises, must have one hell of a public welfare system in place. If anything, it’s a pretty audacious plot hole that’s never covered. |
 Proud and willing gatekeeper of the anime community. |
| Suspension of disbelief... But also Japan has been dealing with all kinds of devastation for hundreds, thousands of years, like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, floods and a World War. And they're still doing pretty great. Not much of a stretch to imagine a kaijuu-ready Japan. |
Nanomachines, son! they can be shaped into anything you want. |
| That's just one of the many uninteresting details that fiction doesn't need to go into, fortunately. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| They also used to use a lot of props back in the day, sad that most of it is now all CGI. Well I guess not all of it, but a good portion. |

Nobody points out how characters can have snot bubbles the size of balloons when they are sometimes sleeping, or how a nosebleed gushes like a fire hose without killing someone every time they get a tiny glimpse a pair of panties on a girl. Nobody questions why teenagers get to pilot billion-dollar mecha with zero training, how gravity magically works when someone leaps 200 feet with a sword the size of a car, or how so many high school kids always live in giant apartments with no visible income or even ever having a guardian at all. If we can suspend disbelief for all that shit, I think Japan can handle a couple of kaiju brawls without sweating the fictional cost of reconstruction. lol And honestly, if an author did want to explain shit, they could just pull something out of their ass at any time in a fictional story and make shit up on the spot anyway. lol |

BasedIndividual said: How does Japan even continue to exist in these scenarios? Kaijuu are a metaphor for nature disasters. Depending on series, taxes and insurance like with earthquakes. There is magical shows that have magic mechanics to go back in time, regenerate the city. Or just mitigation. Now, do you have a show in mind when talking this? For some shows that care about it and show: After Naruto x Pain, it has them rebuilding Konoha, and Pain was a nice guy fixing stuff. MajiLumiere, the differential of the protagonist is that they don't blow the whole block while dealing with menaces, and the security exists. The girls on Precure also protect the city so nothing ever gets too broken, on some seasons they even teleport with the monsters to alternative planes to fight without harming anything. EVA, literally evacuate people and there are some episodes that everyone dies in a city because they failed to do so. Bleach is another one they talk about creating alternate planes to fight, and mitigate the damage fights cause to environment. |

| How can you still be worried about questions like these when stuff like Godzilla vs. Megalon or Godzilla: Final Wars exist? Just turn off your brain dude and enjoy the destruction lol. |
| They use a magic spell called "don't think about it". It's the same spell used when a character flies without wings, or tech, or any known psychic/magical abilities. Just say "don't think about it" and gravity fucks right off. Any spell that can turn off gravity can obviously rebuild whole cities. |
