ゴジラの逆襲
Steve Ryfle (author of "Japan’s Favorite Mon-Star: The Unauthorized Biography of the Big G") noted that some writers felt that while "Godzilla" (1954) was a metaphor for the Hiroshima bombing, "Godzilla Raids Again" serves as metaphor for the Nagasaki bombing. Ryfle noted the scene of Hidemi gazing at the flames of Osaka strikes parallels with the imagery of a mushroom cloud.
