Line 4:
The Japanese built a rough copy of the [[Eiffel Tower]] in Tokyo in the 1950s as a tourist attraction and as as an antenna for TV and radio broadcasting. It's clearly visible from most of town, and is a frequent destination for [[Class Trip|class trips]] from local schools. (It is also sometimes referred to as "Touto Tower".)
Apparently, they built the thing out of [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]], because it's also a major weirdness magnet. If the [[Big Bad]] or [[The Dragon]] are going to attack, they'll attack '''Tokyo Tower''' at the precise moment that the protagonists are visiting it. If the [[Ordinary High School Student]] and her friends are going to be [[Trapped in Another World|sucked into another dimension]], it'll happen while they're visiting Tokyo Tower. [[Kaiju]] and [[Robeast]]s seem to [[Monumental Damage|knock it over or blow it up]] on a regular basis. The government might secretly [[Weaponized Landmark|turn it into a superweapon.]] In fact, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100623131011/http://www.tapanime.com/fandomfun/humor/animeguide.php Livin' and Lovin' In The Anime Universe: A Basic Guide]'' warns, "Try to stay away from Tokyo Tower. It appears to mark an inter-universal nexus."
With all the suffering and destruction that happens there, it's a wonder that anyone is permitted near it...
