I'd point out that there are two official illustrations of Caesar's insides: one that looks artificial we on this website are familiar with released in 1992 in the The ultimate Godzilla monster Illustrated Encyclopedia super (TV Magazine Deluxe) (1992) , and the earlier illustration in the Godzilla Anatomical Monster Encyclopedia special issue of TV Magazine (a kids-aimed magazine) where looks more...alien than necessarily aritifical released about right after the first Mechagodzilla film. But that does not take away from the good points here.The post-credit scene directly references KC’s debut film.
The recurring theme of a song, ultimately used to “summon” Jet Jaguar. King Caesar is summoned by a song in his movie.
The series’ emphasis on mythologies, religions and cultures. The creator of Jet Jaguar, old man Goro Otaki, is very religious and big on tradition. King Caesar is based on the Shisa, a very prominent cultural symbol in some parts of Japan, and was the guardian of a royal family in his debut film.
In a way, King Caesar IS a robot like Jet Jaguar, only an ancient one made of rocks, with magic instead of electricity. Maybe.
The series’ combining of fantasy and science fiction leaning more towards the later so far. A new story could lean more towards fantasy, with King Caesar being one of the most fantastical kaiju in the series.
There is a “prophecy” surrounding Godzilla in GSP, and there was also a prophecy in KC’s debut film that the characters ASSUMED was about their Godzilla too… the design chosen for the post-credit scene cameo may not be a coincidence…

Not mine but rustybottlecap on tumblr thinks King Caesar will be the protagonist of the next season

The black Rodan in episode 10 is actually hundreds upon hundreds of smaller Rodans swarming tightly together to form the shape of a single giant Rodan.

Re: A Singular Point Theory - Mine and Yours
That's what I figured, just due to the evidence. I really wish we got more though.

Re: A Singular Point Theory - Mine and Yours
I'm trying to figure out:
More about Ashihara.
Just how old is Ashihara?
In Ep 6: Misakioku Director Yamamoto says to Sato that Ashihara, if still alive, would be over 100 years old.
I did a timeline post in the spoiler thread: viewtopic.php?p=1846157#p1846157
According to statements by chracters, here's the order of things concerning Ashihara:
Ashihara could have bought the buildings, etc. in the period of time up to 1970. This is based on seeing the huge fish tank in Ashihara Mansion, in the hidden room by the crystal radio. Ashihara must have been quite wealthy, since he also paid for building the SHIVA.consortium complex.
What do you think?

According to statements by chracters, here's the order of things concerning Ashihara:
- Ashihara was born in the Misakioku Village.
- Ashihara sees a giant creature that destroys Misakioku Village.
- The giant creature (presumably Godzilla), is killed and the bones remain.
- Before the war (<1941?), the Misakioku building is built as a military building, including the basement, on the site of the destroyed Misakioku Village.
- After the war (1945>), Ashihara buys the Misakoku building, the bones, and the European mansion over the tunnel.
- Before 1970, Ashihara discovers jellyfish that consist partly or the Red Dust (Archetype phase 1).
- In 1970 After researching the jellyfish, Ashihara follows the song to the singular point deep under ground in India, in a red lake.
- Between 1970 and 1980, Ashihara somehow turns the singular point into a computer, or incorporates it into a computer.
- In 1980, Ashihara tries using the singular point computer, aka SHIVA, and disappears in a "combinatorial explosion".
- (Aug 16th, 2030>) - After the events of Singular Point, Ashihara is shown approaching Mecha Godzilla, walking slowly with a cain, but with no grey hair.

Re: A Singular Point Theory - Mine and Yours
The guide book I have refers to it as “One Body Big Black Rodan”, so it’s possible. However, it’s ambiguous as to what “one body means” in Japanese. Does that imply multiples came together? Or that it’s just a special case, as in “One of a kind”. I lean towards the former but nothing is confirmed. In any case, it would be interesting if the Rodan dying off were just another part of the life cycle.ClandestineCanine9 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 2:05 pmI'm not sure about that oneShinGojira14 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 9:10 am The black Rodan in episode 10 is actually hundreds upon hundreds of smaller Rodans swarming tightly together to form the shape of a single giant Rodan.

We see multiple changes in Rodan, from Tengu Rodan in the painting, to the single Rodan in Ep 1, to the double horned Rodan in subsequent epidodes, to the Huge Rodan in the later episodes. I view Huge Rodan as the Ultra of Rodan development.

Re: A Singular Point Theory - Mine and Yours
The Orthogonal Diagonalizer: This term isn't just technobabble.
In geometry, a line that crosses another line at a 90 degree angle (aka a right angle) is called "orthogonal" to the line it crosses.
Squares and rectangles are both called "orthogons", since they are polygons (geometric figures with straight sides) where the sides meet at right angles.
Diagonal lines are lines drawn between opposite corners of rectangles. This means diagonal lines have to be less than 90 degrees from the lines that make the corners.
In our 3 dimensions, there is no way an orthogonal line can be diagonal.
An Orthogonal Diagonalizer, in the sense used in Godzilla: Singular Point, would have to be like lines forced to be both at right angles, and at less than 90 degrees from each other.
Red Dust can be controlled by an Orthogonal Diagonalizer, since the Archetypes used to make the OD are multidimensional.

Re: A Singular Point Theory - Mine and Yours
In a restaurant scene, Dr Li and Mei Kamino are discussing sending information from the past to the future without changing the future.
Dr Li asks Mei to pick a number, and Mei first picks 9. Dr Li points out a painting of 9 flowers. Then Mei picks 3, and Dr Li points out 3 statues.
Mei then picks -1, to represent sending the lack of something. Dr Li the points out something off screen. What was that thing? What could represent the lack of something, but still be visible and exist in our world?
