It's time for Toku Titles! Episode 5: Enfatico, means emphatic or forceful as a direction of music, which is one of the topics of said episode. Episode 7: Omniarch, refers to the ruler of the world or everything, this can be connected to the Kaiju or Godzilla himself specifically. Episode 8: Graftage, is the process, practice, or technique of Grafting, referencing Ashihara's notes. And Episode 9: Erumpent, means bursting forth or through a surface, another reference to Godzilla.

Now, there's a lot to say, so get ready for a long one.

First off, this isn't exactly obvious to many, but this Anime is based off the 1974 Toho Disaster film Prophecies of Nostradamus. Now you all know Nostradamus, the film was basically centered around said prophecies while trying to make sense of the book of the man himself. Very similar to what's going on in this show. However, the same was true for Shin Godzilla, though the key difference is that unlike Shin Godzilla, which was about Godzilla himself, Singular Point has it more in line with the Prophecies of Nostradamus with the future and such.

I've already said how Anguirus is one of my favorite Kaiju, but the Anguirus Spear is also a really neat idea for a weapon. And not only that, Jet Jaguar gets an actual pair of legs! There's a reason people refer to this Anime as the Jet Jaguar Anime, and I'm all for that.

Now, interestingly enough, the other Kaiju are all based off existing Toho Monsters, albeit some with different names. So, first off, the Spiders, whom I think were called Kumanga(?), are based off Kumonga (the Spider Monster that first appeared in Son of Godzilla 1967) and Megalon (from Godzilla Vs Megalon 1973), while its main build is that of Kumonga, Megalon's drills and patterns are shown throughout the design. The blue goop monster is Hanega, based off Hedorah the smog monster (Godzilla Vs Hedorah 1971) and Dogora a giant energy jellyfish from space (Dogora 1964). Salunga is based off Gabara from All Monsters Attack/Godzilla's Revenge (1970), though the one in that film was named after the bully kid, here it refers to the Celestial Bow of the Hindu God Vishnu (remember how I said there was a lot of mythological references?), supposedly also based off Baragon (first appearance Frankenstein Vs Baragon 1965).

As for Godzilla, his Aquatalis Form is based off Titanosaurus from Terror of Mechagodzilla 1975 (apparently there's an actual dinosaur named Titanosaurus, so Toho likely couldn't keep his name trademarked). His Amphibia Form is based off Varan from the 1958 film of the same name (Toho initially tried to make Varan the new star as a replacement for Godzilla but it never really took off, partly due to the poor conditions of the suit). His Terrestris Form is either based off Gorosaurus, a Dinosaur Kaiju who first debuted in 1967 Film King Kong Escapes, or the 1998 American Godzilla. Now, Godzilla evolving was first introduced in Shin Godzilla in 2016, but here, it's more in line with Oni from Japanese Mythology, as some people have pointed out the similarities in the design of Godzilla in this Anime (who might I add, were all designed by the same person who worked on Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle), but the "Goshira" painting is further proof of the Japanese Mythology influence for Godzilla.

I think I've said enough trivia here, so I'll just let you get further in before diving into some more details about this Anime.
