Introduction of the Cosmos Characters
Masako Fujita
Hi, can you tell us who you are?
The Cosmos
We are called the Cosmos, my friends.
Kenji Ando
What Cosmos?
Takuya Fujita
And, could you explain?
The Cosmos
Earth's Cosmos; the two of us keep the Earth's natural order of things in balance. Over 12,000 years ago, there was a guardian of the Earth named Mothra. At that time, there was an advanced civilization on Earth, and the cosmos was in perfect order. But then something terrible happened; scientists created a device to control the Earth's climate. This device greatly offended the Earth.
Masako Fujita
Offended?
The Cosmos
The Earth is a living being. It can also be offended.
Masako Fujita
Since its climate was controlled, was it put in any danger?
The Cosmos
Oh yes, it was. So it created the black Mothra.
Takuya Fujita
The black Mothra?
The Cosmos
Yes, my friend. Battra was its name, and it was a very fierce beast. It destroyed everything that was endangering the life of the Earth, and then some. There was a fierce battle between Mothra and Battra. When Mothra finally won, Battra was laid to rest in the northern sea. When the climate controller was destroyed, there was massive flooding on the Earth, and most of the land was underwater. Mothra survived in the mountains, along with us; the Earth's Cosmos.
