Otachi parece ser o primeiro kaiju * a passar pela brecha e foi capaz de voar.
Havia, no entanto, pelo menos um Kaiju para aparecer com asas vestigiais, mas ficou sem nome na novelização.
Some of those images were tattooed on his cerebral cortex the way Yamarashi was in the skin of his arm - and Hammerjaw on the back of his calf, and another kaiju, from Shanghai the year before, spreading its vestigial wings across Newt's shoulders
É possível que a passagem se refira a Scissure , que aparece no Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero em quadrinhos.
Like Mutavore, but larger, it spread wings deformity thought the precursor dying the kaiju fell back into the bio-slurry and was absorbed another sac split and another kaiju rose within like Mutavore but larger, it spread wings
Nota: SIC, Newt está enlouquecendo enquanto assiste a isso acontecer.
Newt vê mais tarde Otachi abrir as asas pela primeira vez. Embora ele não o identifique especificamente como o primeiro kaiju voador, sua reação interna e descrição indicam que é.
It raised its arms, and Newt got another surprise as it unfolded its wings - they were much larger than the failed version he had seen in his Drift. That kaiju had looked like a child's drawing of a flying kaiju, done with a child's idea of things like lift and load-bearing balance. These wings spanned twice the kaiju's height and when they began to beat, cars blew away underneath them. They beat slowly at first but quickly gathered speed until their motion was a blur. Newt found it uncanny how much the progression reminded him of Jumphawk rotors powering up.
Hannibal Chau faz uma observação que faz parecer que outros kaiju têm asas, mas isso não contradiz que Otachi seja o primeiro a ser capaz de voar.
"Okay, go for the wings first, the Germans go crazy for those things," Chau was saying. Then he saw Newt and stopped.
* Enquanto Otachi foi o primeiro kaiju que conseguiu voar, também se pode considerar o fato de que alguém (provavelmente os Precursores) parecia ter também enviado os dinossauros - muitos dos quais eram capaz de voar.
Newt considera os dinossauros como "versão mais antiga e mais crua do kaiju".
He almost told Chau that he thought the dinosaurs were an earlier, cruder version of the kaiju, but he just barely held himself back.
Ele nota a diferença / atualização mais fundamental entre os dinossauros e o kaiju.
The dinosaurs had been a dry run. Whoever sent them hadn’t liked what they had found. So they waited for the climate to change, and while they waited they did a carbon-to-silicon upgrade. Bam!
