Legend[]
Massarai's illustration is about the incident of the Zuiyo-maru carcass,[1] called New Nessie, where it was entangled by the Zuiyō Maru, a Japanese fishing trawler, off the coast of New Zealand in 1977. Where the peculiar appearance of the carcass led to speculation that it might be the remains of a sea serpent or prehistoric plesiosaur. It is not clear where Mizuki cited the names Massarai and Wairutoruki from.
