In film[]
Tokyo Bay played a key role in the 1954 daikaiju film, Gojira. At the end of the movie, the bay was used as the nesting place for the monster known as Godzilla. Having already suffered devastating losses from the creature's rampage, members of the Japanese government as well as the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force were forced to take desperate measures. They employed the assistance of a scientist named Daisuke Serizawa, who had invented a device that could liquefy living tissue called the Oxygen Destroyer. Serizawa brought the prototype weapon aboard a vessel out on Tokyo Bay and donned a deep sea diving suit. He was lowered down into the depths until he found Godzilla's nesting place. Serizawa opened the canister containing the Oxygen Destroyer and activated it. The water in the surrounding area began bubbling as the compound took effect. Godzilla awakened, surfaced briefly to emit a roar of agony, then sank down again beneath the waves. His body disintegrated leaving nothing behind but a skeleton, which was lost to the tumultuous sea. Doctor Serizawa watched the entire affair until he too was consumed by his own weapon.
