I think Tsutsui’s observations are intriguing, because they highlight the deep-seated cultural anxieties that surround Tokyo’s place in popular culture. The city has been shown in films and literature as a site of great turmoil and destruction, whether through natural disasters or monster attacks. This fascination with destruction can be seen in the popularity of movies such as Godzilla, which make the city to a frequent target of destruction.
