Adm. Tachinaba Quotes in Gojira, Mosura, Kingu Gidorâ: Daikaijû sôkôgeki (2001)

[recalling his encounter as a child with Godzilla in 1954]

Adm. Tachinaba: The sky was blood red and filled with smoke. And through it a devil appeared, its face was twisted with rage and hatred. When it was over my parents were gone. I will never forget the wretched cries of the dead...

Adm. Tachinaba: I had been very proud, up to this moment, that I had never seen any real combat in my life.

Captain: You felt that way too?

Adm. Tachinaba: I think everyone feels that way.

[Yuri is saluting her father who has just defeated Godzilla]

Adm. Tachinaba: Yuri... stop it. You're embarrassing me. Don't salute me; instead salute my comrades... and the guardian beasts.
