* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: Lampshaded by the opening narration. After a quarter of a century since the last kaiju attack, humanity entered a time of peace and, in turn, became lax. Humanity's idleness would backfire years later when the Gigans attack the city, and they obviously aren't a match for the rampaging kaiju.
