First, thanks much, Lasher. The nectar/DSI (deep sea ingredient) makes more sense than deep sea crabs with this recipe. The DSI being in the recipe is very intriguing, making it so that Slusho!'s secret ingredient isn't actually a secret ingredient at all, thus ending the speculation that Slusho! caused the attack.


Melampus, three reactions on what you said:
(1) Over"mining" of the DSI does sound like a cause for the awakening of a monster, and has capitalist overtones that are "more American".
(2) If they want to make this into a series of films, this storyline has advantages. The monster just woke up, he decides to attack a city. It happens. Then, in the next movie, a rival monster awakens/comes to Earth, and The Monster has an epic battle with it in the style of Cloverfield
(ARG, camcorders)
And, for the one I think is the most thought provoking, (3) doesn't the storyline you posted sound a bit like that of a certain creature from R'lyeh?

Really strange how all the recipes instructions are detailed except for what to do with the crab...they just chuck it into the sauce.

If you are to add "one crab", you should have to peel/chop it right?

It's obvious, the monster is a giant mutated crab, duh!!

Oops, thank you for correcting me! It helps to have a native japanese speaker. And the picture was so fuzzy... but now that it's correct, it's led to some really interesting things! I'm so excited!! ^o^

Many folks eat the crabs "mustard" That may be the case here. This is its digestive system. Its system's fatty tissues are known to contain toxins it has absorbed...

...
Research shows that chemical contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxin, mercury, and poison-inhalation hazards (PIHs) accumulate in the crab's fatty tissues and concentrate in the hepatopancreas. The contaminants, which are colorless, odorless and tasteless, and can increase one's chance of developing cancer, neurological impairments and miscarriage. Women of child-bearing age and children under the age of 5 are at particular risk.
...

Maybe the crabs dine on the secret ingredient and it becomes entrained in their fatty tissues. This could be the reason for specifying "deep sea" crabs specifically. Needs to get to the slusho right...

You guys do realize the recipe speaks nowhere of crabs, right?

I'm figuring you know this, and are just speculating as if it did...
Sorry if I bothered ya

has anyone considered the fact that whatever the monster is, as far as we know, it is the ONLY one of its kind to grow to a massive size and attack the city. (assumption) if this is true, then what is so unique about this one monster that it eats this deep sea ingredient and makes it huge and angry? it just seems odd, and completely discredits any polution theory to think that only one animal/reptile/crustacian would grow and not more, or even of different sorts of animal. even if it is a plant or something...why the hell wouldnt other life be eating it.

if the information we got is true about the monster shedding scales, maybe the scales are the crabs, OR the monster is made up of like 1 billion pissed off crabs......anyone ever seen crabs move in packs? stupid theory i know, but it is the only one that seems plausible. that way it would show that a billion of the creatures ate it, and all got pissed off when we stole it. or all melded together because of it somehow.

I don't think the ingredient itself has anything to do with the monster... I think that the act of finding the ingredient is what sets the thing loose.
