-black and white rough sketches with ideas and ideas about how to fight Mothra and Godzilla. Naming such as wing chop, dynamite kiss (kick?), head down, drop kick, polaris attack, hurricane attack is fun. In addition, for the spider web attack where adult mothra spits threads, it may be because the settings are wrong, but it is interesting that there is an X mark next to the sketch. In addition, there is also a naming that is used as it is in the material such as Mach 3 wing chop.
