Sick Episode |
| Kaichu - The Kaiju Dating Sim (Visual Novel) / int_25f33d8 |
comment |
Sick Episode: In Garudan's route, the army's plan to break him and Gigachu up at the end of act 2 is to infect him with bird flu near the end of his playthrough. For the rest of the route, he's visibly sick, does a weak thumbs-up instead of flexing when you give a great answer, and doesn't help trash the landmarks. |

The Unintelligible: Gigachu and the other Kaiju cannot speak the language of humans, but the news anchors are able to translate all communication successfully, and Gigachu can respond to questions with a positive, neutral, or negative expression, or by holding up their claws. |

| Kaichu - The Kaiju Dating Sim (Visual Novel) / int_328b32 |
comment |
Unequal Pairing: The military attempt to break up Gigachu and Queen Seadora but drawing attention to Gigachu being a commoner and Seadora being royality. General Panjandrum even has Mechachu given the title of Duke solely to try and take Gigachu's place as Seadora's mate. Subverted, as Seadora doesn't want an inferior, but an equal partner to rule by their side. |

Virtuous Character Copy: Queen Seadora is obviously based off King Ghidorah. However, whereas he's an Omnicidal Maniac and pure evil (most of the time), Seadora is actually explicitly a heroic kaiju with a strong sense of justice. |

Ambiguous Gender Identity: The playable Kaiju, Gigachu, is a pink, heart-themed Godzilla Expy whose default pronouns are "chu/chu"; the player can change the pronouns to be he/him, she/her, they/them, xie/xer, and a variety of other gender identities without altering their appearance in any way. |

comment |
Single Parents Are Undesirable: The end of the Mossra route reveals that Mossra has already laid eggs, leading to a brief break-up while Gigachu seeks out the other Kaiju for advice on whether they can accept the responsibilities of parenthood and that Mossra will always love her brood more than Gigachu. Ultimately, however, Gigachu decides that Mossra is still desirable, and helps rescue Mossra's eggs after Mechachu captures them. |

Lore Codex: You can access profiles of the six Kaiju anytime. At first, they only show their likes and dislikes, but by progressing in the route of a specific Kaiju, you unlock more data: what they look for in a mate, how they express their love, their main virtue, the Greek definition of love they fit the most, and the greatest challenge Gigachu will have to face to make the relation work. |
