Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The horror of the Pacific War and specter of Godzilla have all become a distant memory for Japan. However, the destruction of a US submarine raises alarms for Admiral Tachibana. His estranged daughter Yuri, is working on a pseudo documentary when she comes across the legend of the three guardian monsters. The guardians are awaken by an old man, Hirotoshi Isayama, who informs Yuri that Godzilla, embodying the restless souls of the victims of Pacific War, has returned to destroy the nation for having forgotten the suffering of the war. As Yuri and her colleagues investigate, Admiral Tachibana and the guardian monsters attempt to defeat an unstoppable and vengeful Godzilla. Written by Plotjira |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Some of the Yokohama miniature sets from this film were used in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003). They were supplied for him by art director Toshio Miike. See more » |
| Goofs | The unnatural way King Ghidorah's two outer heads attach to his body, and the way they move, clearly reveal there's an actor inside his suit, and that these two heads are actually arm puppets. In other films, the heads were moved by strings, producing a much less fake-looking effect. See more » |

| Quotes |
SDF Adm. Taizô Tachibana:
At the end of the last century, a similar monster to Godzilla attacked the United States. The existence of abnormal organisms have since been reported around the world. Soldier one: That was Godzilla after all, right? Soldier two: The Americans reported it as that. Our academics don't agree. See more » |
