In fact, Pacific Rim 2 is clearly an otaku pick, but I didn’t recognize it.

Pacific Rim: Uprising is often said to have lost the otaku giant robot feel of the first game.

In reality, it is true that the movie is less fun than the first part, but…

In fact, if you look closely, it’s as much as part 1.

An homage that only enthusiasts recognize

There are quite a few.

Appears as the main villain until the beginning and middle of the movie.

Obsidian Fury

Is

Black appearance + Stealing the monster’s body

In that sense, Evangelion’s

Bardiel

Homage.

The portal opening scene in the middle of the movie

Drone Jaeger

heard

White smooth exterior + unmanned aerial vehicle + mass-produced type + a tool for rituals or procedures rather than for combat

In that sense

Mass-produced Evangelion

homage

and

blue biological tissue

The dot that wriggles through this armor is also

The Kaiju in the final battle of the movie combine to become Mega Kaiju.

No matter who sees it

Destoroyah

The Kaiju’s ultimate goal is

Contact Mt. Fuji and cause a volcano to erupt, terraforming the Earth.

The purpose of doing this is

The apostles in Evangelion

Contact terminal dogma

Activate Third Impact

An homage to what you are trying to do.

…Like this, if you actually look at it, part 2 is also different from part 1, only in a different direction.

A work that captures the tastes of otaku

It can be said that

If the work is well done!!!
