WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Season 1 of Godzilla Singular Point, now streaming on Netflix.

In Godzilla Singular Point, as protagonists Mei, Yun and their respective crews, such as the Otaki mechanics and the Shiva Consortium, try to deduce what the apocalyptic catastrophe to come is, it becomes perfectly clear in Season 1 that the Red Dust affiliated with the kaiju incursions has a key role.

Mei, using her in-depth knowledge of physics and trans-dimensional travel, eventually realizes that singular points -- breaches in space and time -- will save the day, which ultimately happens with the heroic robot/AI Jet Jaguar killing Godzilla. However, with Mechagodzilla to come, as well as more monster attacks, one of the biggest things Mei was studying, the Archetype, could actually be the big weapon for next season.

What Is the Archetype?

Archetype is a cube Mei learns of when she meets Li, one of Shiva's brilliant scientists. She also discovers Ashihara, a professor from years ago, worked with Shiva to unlock the secrets of Red Dust -- first finding it in jellyfish in his Japanese village, and then in the first Godzilla carcass in a cave. This is what he based his work on, the first singular point, which Shiva has been trying to crack ever since.

Mei learns the cube, which refracts light in many dimensions and generates energy, is transtemporal -- it exists in many dimensions of space and time, meaning that part of it is on her Earth and part is elsewhere simultaneously. This all links back to Ashihara's work because Archetype is the 13th state of Red Dust. The professor discovered the cube but he didn't decode the secrets of the prior states as Shiva only understood the first and second.

Li's job is to now figure out the others so they can unlock the cube's potential, which is why Mei's so crucial. The latter posits the dust might be what's teleporting the kaiju to their planet, ergo why the dust messes with radio waves and tech in general. Interestingly, using the Orthogonal Diagonizer bomb, BB, one of Shiva's executives, can render the dust inert and turn it into red shards. These crystals impale the kaiju Salunga but notably, they can't kill the beasts.

Why Archetype Could Be Singular Point Season 2's Big Weapon

The bomb's effectiveness changes when the right code for it emerges, thanks to Mei's A.I., Pelops II, visiting various dimensions. Using this, Jet Jaguar PP blows up and turns the dust into blue crystals. In fact, all the dust on the planet is rendered inert, weaponizing the Red Dust in humanity's favor.

These shards finally kill Godzilla and Salunga at the end of Singular Point Season 1, making them perfect for BB to study. He'll need Mei, though, because with Shiva and a returned Ashihara making Mechagodzilla from Godzilla's remains, the villains could use the blue crystals to harness Archetype to make new weapons, control other kaiju or instill fear into these beasts.

BB and Mei, on the other hand, are also intelligent, out-the-box thinkers and could therefore harness the crystals for good: both against Shiva and other kaiju that threaten their mission of preserving all dimensions. But most of all, these blue shards could help them uncover the remaining secrets of the Archetype and all its states, which might make it more than just a weapon. If Mei can decode the cube fully, she could also visit various dimensions through portals, learn more about the kaiju incursions and gather tech, bio-organic material and intel from other realms.

The problem is, Shiva owns the cubes, so they may figure all this out first or force Mei to do their bidding in Season 2. This would give them what they need to turn Archetype into everything from self-generating fuel sources to bombs for the military to rifts that Shiva will undoubtedly try to exploit and colonize.
