However, a horde of Gigan has invaded the Earth and wreaks havoc in their path. The JSDF are powerless against them, only the might of the King of the Monsters is able to defeat them. Godzilla finally returns to Japan to battle this threat. However, he faces the apex monster, Gigan Rex, and the two apex kings battle for the fate of the world. Will Godzilla prevail?Official Video LinkIn 2023 a sequel, Godzilla vs. Megalon, was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Godzilla vs. Megalon, pitting Godzilla against a revamp of the insectoid kaiju.

Ambiguous Situation
 Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: It is very heavily implied Godzilla is a grown-up Godzilla Jr. The opening shot being a shot for shot recreation of Junior's resurrection accompanied by his lullaby from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, the timeline of him being gone for a quarter of a century lines up with Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, the short's narrator is Miki Saegusa's actress, Megumi Odaka, and he also possesses a Nuclear Pulse, one of the Heisei Godzilla's signature abilities, and a Super Mode resembles a white version of Burning Godzilla's form. However, no official word has confirmed this.

comment
Mythology Gag: The film's opening and ending shots mirror the ending of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, with narration from Megumi Odaka and Baby Godzilla's lullaby from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, implying that the film is set in the Heisei continuity and stars the adult Godzilla Jr. The Gigan Miles are almost identical to the Showa iteration of Gigan.

comment
Bare-Handed Blade Block: One of the Gigan Miles' attempts to attack Godzilla with a flying slash. Godzilla catches it with one hand, bringing him to a dead stop. He then repeats it with the Gigan's tail blade. Godzilla catches' Gigan Rex's Whip Swords and then uses them to pull the kaiju into melee range.

 Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex / int_4bca5b2e
comment
We Have Become Complacent: Lampshaded by the opening narration. After a quarter of a century since the last kaiju attack, humanity entered a time of peace and, in turn, became lax. Humanity's idleness would backfire years later when the Gigans attack the city, and they obviously aren't a match for the rampaging kaiju.

Super Mode: The Gigan Miles summoned by Gigan Rex open up their bellies to reveal massive glowing red saws. When the Gigan Miles swarm and attempt to saw him to pieces, Godzilla supercharges himself in a form resembling Burning Godzilla — his dorsal plates and chest glowing white — and shoots them down with an augmented Atomic Breath, which he then uses on Gigan Rex.

The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort: Subverted: Godzilla's durability is no less impressive than any other Godzilla, but he still blocks, parries, catches, or dodges attacks thrown his way rather than just relying on his durability. He tends to use this to create openings to attack back.
