They also have already learned the various names of the mecha, "Coyote Tango", "Striker Eureka" and so on.

Why are they called Kaiju anyway? If the first attack occurred in America, wouldn't the Americans give the beasts their official name? Hopefully the film itself will explain why the beasts are given a Japanese name...
(Obviously, there is nothing wrong with the fact that the name is Japanese. I'm just curious how the universe/characters decided to call the monsters Kaiju rather than something more western like Behemoth? Colussus? Hell even Cthulu.) |

Even then Americans would just call them Godzillas . I remember when Cloverfield came out, whilst some critics (and more than some viewers) identified the beast as a Kaiju films, the vast majority of critics and viewers simply said giant monster. Last edited by james0246; 2013-05-17 at 12:02. |

Also, I think Kaiju is easy to pronounce and quite catchy .

Even the American Godzilla used the Japanese name as a lead in:
So it will probably be explained why they're using Kaiju. I'm glad to see it's getting a positive reaction among Japanese fans though, hopefully the movie lives up to the hype.

I think you just proved why Americans/humans either wouldn't know the word or would viciously reject remembering the word . |

Besides, the one thing that people always remember about Godzilla before anything else is his roar. I'm hoping the monsters here have some personality and distinction too.
