Tokyo Tower: Difference between revisions

 

[[Truth in Television|The top was bent by a powerful earthquake]] on Friday, March 11th, 2011.

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

** It was the nest of the Devil Gundam in ''[[G Gundam]]''.

** And it was seen in a ruined state in ''[[Code Geass]]''.

** Heck, it very nearly qualifies as a [[Weaponized Landmark]] when {{spoiler|Conan takes out the Black Organization's helicopter by ''turning Tokyo Tower into a giant slingshot''.}}

** Speaking of [[Gosho Aoyama]], the [[Big Bad]] of [[Yaiba]] blew up Tokyo tower as evidence of his power.

== [[Film]] ==

* Very mundane film sighting: The tower can be seen in the background of a scene in the [[James Bond (Film)|James Bond]] movie ''[[You Only Live Twice (Film)|You Only Live Twice]]'' set in Japan, when a helicopter uses a huge electromagnet to pick up a car full of [[Evil Minions]] that are chasing Bond.

** In the 1995 [[Heisei]] [[Gamera]] , the Gyaos deftly evades killer missiles, lets ''them'' take out Tokyo Tower, and proceeds to build its nest in the ruins, almost mocking its human prey.

** ''[[King Kong Escapes]]'' has Kong and his robotic foe climb Tokyo Tower during the film's climax.

** ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' reuses it. In Kabuto World, the Hikari Studios is placed right near the tower. Natsumi calls it "trendy". The tower is also used for the final battle. There is surprisingly little property damage.

*** ''Decade'' even lampshades the tower's prominence in ''Kabuto'': each of the AU worlds is represented in the photo studio by a backdrop that shows important elements from their source series. Kabuto's backdrop is Tokyo Tower with Tendou's skyward-pointing finger next to it.

** ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'', set in Futo, the Windy City, has its own Futo Tower, which is really a gigantic windmill.
