Tokyo, Japan - The stage is set for the greatest economic tag-team match in Japan's history, starring the country's very own Godzilla. Starring in approximately 32 movies over his illustrious career of terrorizing humanity, trampling cities, and eliminating other gigantic foes from other planets, Godzilla has made a monumental decision: he is going to aid Japan in its latest financial struggle. Feeling a certain responsibility for destroying innumerable cities and generally wreaking havoc on Japanese infrastructure during his many rampages, Godzilla has finally decided that it is time for restitution. The beloved - and feared - monster from the deep will tag team with the Japanese government to pull the nation from the depths of stagnation. Our insider source reveals, "Godzilla-san has been watching Japanese TV from the bottom of the ocean for some time now. Seeing the Land of the Rising Sun's economy besieged by deflation, it took a toll on his health. So, he extended an olive branch to Prime Minister Yoshida Suga through a swim-by near the Diet building in Tokyo.” The response from the economically distraught Japanese government has been tepid though Godzilla had raised a giant banner from the ocean depths that read, “Let's make Japan roar again.” Just as it began entertaining the prospect of collaborating with the monstrous deity, Japanese film company Toho Co. Ltd. decided to flex its financial muscle, launching a legal claim and accusing the government of exploiting the image of its greatest monster to further a political agenda. According to an unofficial Toho spokesperson, "The Godzilla brand will not be cheapened by political gamesmanship. Toho Co. Ltd. will ensure that the much-deserved integrity and respect of our iconic character will be retained." While Toho boldly attempts to stake its claim in the financial tug-of-war for it's prized possession, Godzilla's newfound ambition to revive the Japanese economy remains a significant factor. Circumventing this escalation, the Japanese government is now left to define how they plan on utilizing Godzilla's prowess, so as to not violate the intellectual property rights held by Toho. An unnamed psychic clairvoyant dolphin within the political circle has suggested that Godzilla might be appointed as the new Minister of Reconstruction or the new economic czar to help craft a modernized financial blueprint to boost Japan's growth. We might even see Godzilla participating in international economic summits or wrestling his fellow giants into financial submission. In an ironic twist of fate, Godzilla will now be sharing the same stage with some of his infamous cinematic opponents such as Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla. But instead of engaging them in city-demolishing clashes, he will negotiate with them as his economic rivals representing various multinational conglomerates in the battle for Japan's economic dominance. Although the outcome of this economic tug-of-war saga is still in question, Japan's population can be confident of one thing: behind every swiped tail, crushed building, and fiery breath on screen, Godzilla's heart still belongs to Japan, and their wallets.
