Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla

Plot[edit | edit source] Forty-five years after the first Godzilla's attack and death, maser-cannon technician lieutenant Akane Yashiro of Anti-Megalosaurus Force (AMF) is unable to kill a new member of Godzilla's species during her first fight with him at Tateyama. During the battle, she panics and accidentally knocks a jeep off the road, where Godzilla steps on it, killing her comrades inside. As a result, Akane is demoted while scientists, including single father Tokumitsu Yuhara, are gathered to build a cyborg mecha from the first Godzilla's skeleton. In time, the cyborg codenamed "MFS-3 Kiryu" is finished and inducted into the Japan Xenomorph Self-Defense Forces (JXSDF) along with its human pilots, the Kiryu Squadron, with Akane as the primary pilot. However, memories of her actions during the first battle still linger as one of her squadron mates, 2nd lieutenant Susumu Hayama, hates her because his brother was among those killed. Four years later, Kiryu is unveiled in a global presentation where its remote systems, use of command aircraft, and Absolute Zero Cannon are shown. Simultaneously, Godzilla returns in Yokohama and Kiryu is launched into battle. In the midst of this, however, Godzilla's roar causes Kiryu to experience memories of its past life and go berserk while Godzilla retreats. The horrified Kiryu Squadron is powerless to stop the rampaging Kiryu until it runs out of energy and is brought back to headquarters for repairs. Meanwhile, Akane deals with Hayama's attempts to make her leave and Yuhara's attempts to get to know her despite her desiring solitude, though she begins to develop a bond with Yuhara's young daughter Sara. As Godzilla mounts another attack in Shinagawa, the repaired Kiryu is deployed and confronts Godzilla once more. Kiryu gains the upper hand, but as it prepares the Absolute Zero Cannon, Godzilla knocks Kiryu away with his atomic breath and diverts the blast. With Kiryu disabled and the remote piloting system offline, Akane orders Hayama to land his command craft so that she can use Kiryu's internal backup cockpit. Before she leaves, Hayama wishes her luck, forgiving her. Piloting Kiryu directly, Akane closes in on Godzilla, hoping to use the Absolute Zero Cannon at point-blank range. As the two monsters collide, Akane uses Kiryu's thrusters to propel them out to the ocean before firing. In the aftermath, an injured Godzilla retreats while Kiryu is heavily damaged. With Kiryu successful in repelling Godzilla, it is taken back to base for repairs. In a post-credits scene, Akane agrees to have dinner with the Yuharas and salutes Kiryu.
