Quick Glance: Daniel McGovern's Documentation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

- McGovern witnessed the destructive power of the atomic bombs and transformed into a passionate war opponent.
- Japanese doctors were helpless in the face of the aftermath of the atomic bombings, which claimed over 200,000 lives.
- The decision to drop the atomic bombs was questioned as Japan was already militarily defeated, with the bombs primarily serving to intimidate the Russians.

Quick Glance: The Hushed Response to Oppenheimer in Japan
- After eight months since its US premiere and a month after its Oscar triumph, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer has finally opened in Japan. Speculations surrounded the film's delay, being the only country to suffer the consequences of a nuclear bomb.
- The film opened like any other Hollywood blockbuster, with no organized protests, boycotts, or overt criticism. The extended delay may have diffused the debate.
- While there has been criticism, it has been measured and constructive. A positive commentary by lawyer Hiroyuki Shinju, published by the Tokyo Bar Association, highlighted the film's potential to address the legitimacy of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as reflections on nuclear weapons and war.
- A new Japanese take on the bomb story may be on the horizon, with director Takashi Yamazaki, known for Godzilla Minus One, tipped as a potential director, offering a powerful statement on nuclear catastrophe.

Quick Glance: Godzilla's Pink Transformation and the Inspiration from Dragon Ball Z
- Godzilla's neon green transformation in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was inspired by Goku's early power-up in Dragon Ball Z, as revealed by lead character designer Jared Krichevsky.
- Kaio-Ken, a unique technique acting as a power and speed multiplier, sets itself apart from Goku's various Super Saiyan color palette transformations by providing him with a short burst of power and a significant side effect.
- Contrary to Goku learning Kaio-Ken from King Kai, Godzilla acquired his pink form through absorbing the DNA of another kaiju named Tiamat. Despite different power-up circumstances, Krichevsky confirmed that Godzilla's pink form, like Goku's Kaio-Ken, is temporary.
- Before Krichevsky's AMA, fans humorously theorized about Godzilla's new pink form as the logical conclusion of Barbenheimers' atomic pink aesthetic.
