Everyone listened (or read the subtitles) as the brave young girl (even if the cynical noted she was shaking like a leaf and clutching her sceptre to her chest with both hands stood against something many times her size.
They'd seen as the JSDF (some of those viewing WERE JSDF) had unleashed weapons and seen them as ineffective. They'd heard the breaks to various people debating on the use of chemical or nuclear weapons against the monster.
"So, uhm, how about you not destroy Tokyo, and then..." said Sailor Moon, trying to think of some course of action that didn't involve her being smooshed into jelly or fried by radioactive breath or something else painfully fatal. "We can be friends! Whatta ya say?"
The assembled audience watched as Gojira slowly brought one "finger" up to touch the outstretched hand of the cheerleader.
The assembled audience went wild.
Staid Japanese businessmen broke out in tears. Japanese housewives hit the beer. Baseball players threw their caps in the air. JSDF Generals sighed in relief and took their hands off the buttons.
Sailor Moon stared as a hand was held out. Slowly, carefully, she stepped out onto that hand with her friends.
Though he was trying to move slowly and carefully himself, Ranma put the tiny itty bitty girls up on a shoulder. That way he could actually hear them when they tried to say something.
The Sailor Senshi had a wild elevator ride, found themselves on a shoulder, and looked out on the world from a very different perspective.
"Man, I'd like to see one of our usual menaces go after us now," said Sailor V. Images of Dark Generals being smooshed to jelly under big feet or blown up by plasma breath weapons danced enticingly through her head.
"Look, I can see Mount Fuji!" said Sailor Jupiter, pointing.
"Hmmmm," said Sailor Mercury, scanning for all she was worth.
"I thought I was going to die," confessed Sailor Moon.
"GrunnnnnnnnnnnnnKKKKKKK," said Gojira, sounding concerned.
"No no, I'm fine now," said Sailor Moon, guessing at meaning.
A giant rotating turtle shell flew through New York City, occasionally thwacking into a building as it went, then gaining altitude enough that it merely scraped the antennae off the next three skyscrapers.
"Mulder?"
"Scully?"
"Don't even start."
"But the flying saucer just knocked the torch off the Statue Of Liberty."
"...swamp gas?"
"Are you okay, Scully? You look a little dazed."
"I think this was revenge for that Matthew Broderick/Tristar movie," mused an FBI agent.
