Answer: Top-Godzilla, bottom-Evangelion, left-Ultraman, right-Kamen Rider.

When various superhero universes in the United States were developing rapidly, on February 14 this year, four IPs in Japan also decided to join forces to create a project. This project is called "New Japan Hero Universe" (SJHU), and consists of four works: "New Godzilla", "New Evangelion Theater Edition: The End", "New Ultraman" and "New Kamen Rider". Also released were logos and collaboration illustrations of the project. The logo appears in Godzilla, Centennial, Ultraman and Kamen Rider, while the collaborative illustrations draw the full body of the four characters together.

Cooperation illustration

looks very absurd, but it does have the possibility of implementation, because these four works are written by Hideaki Anno, and he also participated in the directorial work of three other works except "New Ultraman", which gives the formation of the universe a possibility of unified expression. The relationship between Anno Hideaki and these four works makes it possible for the four companies behind these IPs to cooperate.

on the official website of the plan said that in 2021 they held a joint meeting of four companies to decide to start the project. With the support of Anno Hideaki, they made a good start. At present, "New Godzilla" and "New Evangelion Theater: The End" have been released, "New Ultraman" is scheduled to be released on May 13, 2022, and "New Kamen Rider" will be released in March 2023.
