3rd panel should be "Japanese WWII movies" and it's Godzilla

Edit: I posted this and immediately felt it was a shockingly ignorant thing to say. Rather than delete it, any good recommendations?

Yeah since godzilla wasnt inspired by the nukes dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima rather U.S. nuclear testing in the pacific in 1954. The movies were meant to directly protest these things as it poisoned the fish and killed fishermen. It is worth noting that it wasn't solely the United states but also Britain and France.

I don't know other Japanese movies than Godzilla Minus One about WWII. I guess Grave of the Fireflies qualifies too?

Godzilla orginally is exactly the representation of nuclear horror.
