A theme that will assume some prominence in Leviathan Rising is the impact on biology and physics in the wake of Godzilla's destruction of Osaka. Kaiju violate more laws of biology and physics than you can shake a stick at, and the appearance of a massive, invulnerable, radiation-spewing monster from the sea that violates all those laws would have some major cultural impacts.
The arrival of Godzilla upends everything established since Newton, and this causes an epic shitstorm across the world. This being an Omniverse tale the real consequences of a multi-ton behemoth stepping on streets made of asphault show up, and Godzilla's parallels to the atomic bomb receive the same parallels as the Japanese film. Including long-term deaths from radiation poisoning and the ability of Godzilla's beams powering up to start fires and melt glass and steel.....
