This I do not understand.

The Japanese text above says “You have your fear, which might become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.” Ogata said that to Serizawa when he and Emiko were trying to pry the formula for the oxygen destroyer out of him. Serizawa was reluctant because he understood that the market for antioxidants would be huge someday, but eventually gave in. But this is more complicated than it sounds. That line – which I first heard when I saw the film in 1956 as a child – was all the philosophy I’ve ever needed. However, it was a dubbed in line and was never actually a part of the original Japanese dialog. By translating it back into Japanese, I have constructed what Jorge Luis Borges, in his short ficcione “Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius,” called a hron. This may be a bit convoluted, but trust me, it has legs.
