Atragon, built in secret by Captain Jinguji of the former Imperial Japanese Navy after the war as a means of restoring his defeated country's honour. While at first he refuses to use it for any other purposes, his daughter's kidnapping by the Mu to prevent Atragon from being used against them would lead to him putting aside his pride and bring his super-battleship into battle against the forces of Mu.

You end up with a movie that, on paper, sounds like a wacky pulp TwoFistedTales type adventure, but is actually a surprisingly somber meditation on the postwar world order and Japan's place in it.

* CentralTheme: Blind nationalism is a self-destructive behavior, and both Captain Jinguji and the Empress of Mu are perfect examples of this. Captain Jinguji wants to use the Gotengo to restore Japan's honor after the country's defeat in World War II that he's willing to strike back against the Allied Forces even though Japan adopted the United States' Constitution. It took his daughter's kidnapping by Mu agents that he personally pushes his national pride aside to save her. The Empress of Mu however refuses to surrender to Captain Jinguji, and chooses to die with her country.

** The film itself was renamed by Toho for greater appeal in overseas distribution, Atragon being a portmanteau of the English words ''Atlantis Dragon'', a clear reference to Manda. The net result of this ExecutiveMeddling is that the movie's native-language title refers to the protagonist supership, and its overseas title does the same, but said overseas title was actually created in reference to the kaiju antagonist... a dragon that technically isn't even from Atlantis!
