Come on.

Whoa! No, no, no.

Hello, gentlemen.

Am I a free man?

Takuya Fujito. Thirty years old.

An archeologist and a former assistant professor at Toto University.

He is single.

To be exact, he is divorced.

He has a daughter.

But he seldom pays alimony.

Masako.

The National Environment Planning Bureau?

What would a government organization possibly want

from an average citizen like me?

Last month, a very large meteorite fell to Earth.

We have been investigating its effects

on the environment from various aspects.

During the investigation, we've found this.

It's a satellite photograph.

Interesting.

Where is this?

I can only tell you that it's one of the Indonesian islands at this point.

My firm owns the island.

Who are you?

I am Andoh, secretary to the president of the Marutomo Company.

Some tea?

We plan to develop the island.

The Japanese government is also funding the development.

I see. So what?

You want me to go and collect this thing for you?

Of course, you can refuse.

If you think that the job is too tough.

Of course not.

There isn't a job that's too tough for me to handle.

Except this one time, when there was this tough woman I couldn't handle.

I told you we should forget about this crazy guy.

- You jerk. - Now, now. Ms. Tezuka.

We can't allow for personal feelings.

So, then. If I do this, am I a free man?

Well, forget it.

I will be released from here in another week or so anyway.

Why in the hell should I help you people?

Takuya, you sound like a man with no ambition.

Masako, don't worry. You'll get alimony soon.

I don't think it's gonna be all that soon.

Theft is a major offense in this country.

On top of that, you ruined precious historical remains.

Hey, wait a minute. Hold on! How long am I gonna be in here?

Oh, I'd say another 15 years.

What? Fifteen years?

Wait! Masako! Hey! Just hold on a minute.

Please come back! We can talk!

Miss Masako!

Yes. Come in.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Morning, Professor Fukazawa.

- Thank you for your work. - My pleasure.

So, he and Miss Tezuka have left for the island?

Yes, they left from Bangkok today.

What do you think? Will they succeed?

Hmm. I hope so.

I think this will be a difficult task for Miss Tezuka.

I mean, having to work with her ex-husband.

I don't think so. Actually, I think they're still in love.

Well, there have been some terrible changes in the climate recently.

Men are destroying the very Earth they live on.

We can't go on like this for very long.

This meteorite isn't helping things.

Abnormal atmosphere. Rising sea level.

The effect on ocean plates.

I'm afraid it looks like we may be headed for doomsday.

Point 0-5 off Alaska.

Have we found him?

We've found where the meteorite landed.

It's right next to where Godzilla was sleeping.

He was resting deep in this ocean trench.

When it landed, it woke the giant creature up from its hibernation.

Boy, what a day. Godzilla's at large once again.

We're heading too far South by three degrees.

Oh, all right. Do you think maybe you can tell me where we're going?

Well, I guess so, because you sure can't run away now.

Here.

Infant Island.

Shall we land?

Alright!

Don't drink too much.

It's a long way.

Oh, my God.

This is terrible.

Men destroy what nature has been creating

for billions of years.

One clay, all of this will happen to Japan.

You think it'll be this bad?

Wait. Can this thing hold us?

Well...

The three of us together weigh about 180 kilos.

No problem.

Sure.

It's okay.

Oh, Well.

You said it was okay!

Hold on tight!

So what are we supposed to do now, you liar?

This is your fault. I think you've gained weight. Huh?

You're the same. I'm glad we're not married anymore!

You two! This is not a good time to argue.

Uh-oh. We're gonna have to jump!

What are you waiting for?

You mean, jump from here?

Where else? Go now. Hurry up!

You jerk! You want me to die!

Maybe there's a god after all.

It'll be even faster if we float down this river.

Yeah, cool.

You're pretty good for a white collar.

Thank you. I had to take a survival training course at work.

Working for a big firm isn't that easy, huh?

Row!

- Hey. - What?

- Row! Row! - I'm rowing.

I thought you said this was a shortcut.

What are we gonna do now? Climb this damn thing?

Yeah.

I think we should camp here tonight.

We'll figure it out tomorrow.

For you.

Daddy. I hope you're catching lots of bad guys.

What's this mean? Did you tell her I'm some kind of policeman or something?

Anything's better than telling her you're a thief.

Hey! Wake up!

Hey! There's a cave behind the waterfall.

- A cave? - Yeah.

What is it?

Cave painting.

It looks very old.

How old could it be?

Well, I'd say tens of thousands of years.

This is tens of thousands of years old? That's amazing.

That's hard to believe.

Hey.

Look at this.

Look!

There is another path.

Look at that!

What could it be?

It's not rock. It's not metal.

It's like some kind of eggshell.

You mean, it's an egg? An egg this big?

You think it's a dinosaur's egg?

It's too big to be a dinosaur's egg.

It's Mothra's egg.

It belongs to Mothra.

- Who's there? Who said that? - Wait, Masako.

We are here!

That flower talked!

How can this be?

Hi.

Can you tell us who you are?

We are the Cosmos, my friends.

Cosmos?

And... Are you from space?

We have been living on Earth since before humans ever existed.

Over 12,000 years ago,

there was a guardian of the Earth named Mothra.

At that time, there was an advanced civilization on Earth

and the Cosmos were in perfect order.

But then something terrible happened.

Some scientists created a device to control Earth's climate.

This device greatly offended the Earth.

Offended the Earth?

The Earth is a living being. It can also be offended.

Since its climate was being controlled, it felt that it was in danger.

Oh, yes it did. So it created the black Mothra.

The black Mothra?

Yes, my friend. Battra was its name, and it was a very fierce beast.

It destroyed everything and anything that was endangering the life of the Earth.

Mothra battled Battra in order to protect the Cosmos.

Battra was laid to rest in the northern sea by Mothra.

But when the climate controller was destroyed by Battra

there was massive flooding on the Earth, and most of our land sunk underwater.

Mothra survived in the mountain with a few Earth Cosmos.

Once again, men are endangering the planet in all sorts of ways.

Yes, we agree.

Then came the meteorite.

Typhoons and landslides.

My company has destroyed forests. I feel very guilty.

If it wasn't for the destruction of forests and the meteorite

Mothra's egg would have remained underground.

But now Mothra's egg has been exposed.

Tell us. What do you think will happen next?

Not only Mothra has awoken, we fear that the dreadful beast

Battra has also awoken somewhere!

What is that?

What's happening to our planet?

Marutomo Architect Office Marutomo Construction

- Save the forest. Don't kill the forest. - All right, stay back. Keep back, please.

- Get back. Get back. Come on. - Stop the destruction!

- Go home! - No more Marutomo!

Where has the green gone?

Golf Course Development

Welcome, sir.

Who are those irritating people?

They're just a bunch of radical environmentalists

trying to make a big fuss about nothing.

They won't interfere with the construction.

Of course not.

You'd better make sure of it.

The development in Indonesia is nowhere near restarting yet.

If the Fuji project is late as well, I'd lose face.

You know I won't stand for that.

What did you say? A giant egg?

Mothra? That doesn't matter!

I'll speak to the government and make a deal with them.

Make sure you bring it back to Japan!

What an attraction this'll be. My God.

Now, how are we supposed to bring that thing back?

Do you really think that it's okay to move it?

I guess it'll be better to preserve it in a stable environment

than letting it go rotten here.

The egg would be better off if it was in Japan instead of here.

Since when did the Marutomo Company start caring about a stable environment?

We will put our trust in you.

We hope that humans who live on this Earth now

don't make the same mistakes that destroyed our world.

We'll do whatever we possibly can to help you this time.

Both Mothra and we.

So you'll go to Japan?

Well, thank you. And I promise, I'll help you.

I'll spread your word to anybody who will listen.

Do you think

it's a giant creature moving underwater?

Godzilla!

It's Battra.

- Battra? - Yes.

This report's just come in from Miss Tezuka.

It's confirmed to be "Mothra's egg".

"Battra" was created.

The Sixth Wing scrambled from the Komachi Base.

The tidal waves moving in the Sea of Japan

has been determined to be a living creature.

The gigantic creature's presently heading towards Noto Peninsula at 56 knots.

Roger. Destroy it before it gets near the mainland.

We repeat. Destroy it before it gets near the mainland.

Roger.

It's not even hurt!

It's gonna land. We have to stop it.

It could destroy us!

The ropes are all secure.

All stand-by. She's ready for towing.

There is something good about working with a big firm.

A giant creature that landed in Noto

is now presumed to be traveling underground.

Currently, a warning has been issued for all the cities in the Chubu Region.

So that's Battra!

Where's he going to go now?

After the creature wreaked havoc and nearly destroyed Nagoya

it disappeared underground leaving nothing but destruction.

It hasn't been seen since.

Something big's approaching.

What could it be?

That is...

So, where's Godzilla now?

Offshore of the Philippines.

I can't believe this.

All it was was one meteorite.

How could it bring about so many disasters at one time?

The meteorite was simply a detonator.

Nothing more.

All it did was set off a time bomb that was created by us humans.

What are you doing?

We're in danger. I'm gonna let the egg go.

Otherwise we all go down!

No, you can't!

My boss ordered me to get that egg back to Japan.

That's why I don't work for anyone!

No!

Damn it.

Godzilla's gonna attack Mothra!

- Hey! - Yes.

We have to leave the area!

What's that?

Battra!

Oh, God!

Mothra! Look out!

Wow, they're both mad!

Mothra's going back to the island now.

Right! Get away while Godzilla and Battra are still fighting!

Oh, no!

What am I gonna say to my boss?

How can I go back empty-handed like this?

Don't worry about it.

What is it he wanted?

He didn't want a big ugly worm. He wanted an egg!

We have to get out of here right away.

What's happening under there, captain?

The temperature at depths of 7,000 meters has reached to twenty...

It looks like a large volcanic eruption.

Now it's thirty degrees. Still increasing.

It's the border of the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Plate.

They're gone.

Both Battra... And Godzilla?

No more signs of life, sir.

Then the volcano must have gotten them both.

Godzilla drowned in the magma?

It's a good thing that we lost the egg, don't you think?

One can never tell what Marutomo would have ended up doing with it.

I agree. I'm pretty sure they just wanted to use it to make money for themselves.

That's the first time in years we've agreed on anything.

Godzilla and Battra are certainly both gone for good now.

We have a happy ending.

This reminds me of our honeymoon.

Remember? We were having drinks at a hotel in Cairo just like this.

Nobody could have been happier than the two of us.

I was so young at the time. And so naive!

Yes, I was too.

That's why...

Why what?

That's why I should have done things differently, if I'd known.

That's life.

Everyone grows and learns from their mistakes.

We can't stay happy inside an egg forever.

That's right.

Perhaps people should take Mothra as an example.

Yes, including us.

Takuya! I can't find the Cosmos.

They've disappeared.

Andoh!

This is fantastic.

We can feature them in our advertisements and promotional stunts!

The media will go crazy.

I agree. Completely.

Andoh. You did well.

Thank you.

Ladies?

Do not worry. You'll be paid generously.

We must prepare a nice place for them.

Andoh.

Make a room somewhere in this room and furnish it.

A room? Where would I find things to make a room for them?

Uh, well, try a toy shop!

Buy something for dolls.

Great idea!

- Wait! Wait! - What?

What's your hurry?

What if Mothra comes to Japan to save the Cosmos?

Well, that'd be...

The only reason Cosmos came was to protect the environment.

The only thing the great Marutomo Company is doing is helping to destroy it.

Now, don't you feel guilty about that?

Well, l feel...

Midori! Hi, I'm back.

- Welcome back, Mommy. - Has my girl been good?

Yeah.

- Welcome back! - Sis, thanks for looking after her.

How was your flight? You got here quick.

Professor, you came too?

He has to leave though.

How are you?

I'm leaving for the observatory in Mount Fuji right now.

What will you be studying?

-It's that bad? - I'm afraid so.

The meteorite has destabilized the Philippine Plate.

What could possibly happen to the Earth next?

Where's Daddy, Mommy?

He's disappeared.

CEO Tomokane insists that Marutomo has the ownership of the Cosmos.

He has no intention of returning them to us.

How selfish of him.

Well, after all, it was his destruction of the forest that woke Mothra up.

We can just wait and see how the Earth is going to punish us all now.

Here it comes.

Mothra

Our dear Mothra

Mothra oh Mothra

If we were to call for help

Over time Over sea

Like a wave you'd come

Our guardian angel

Mothra oh Mothra

If we were to call for help

Over time Over sea

Like a wave you'd come

Our guardian angel

ls Mothra coming here for the Cosmos?

Yeah.

If the predictions are right, it should reach Japan tomorrow.

Yet another terrible disaster.

Mothra is different than Battra. It's not coming to destroy us.

It's coming for the Cosmos.

I don't care what it wants!

That thing's big enough to destroy a whole city.

We'll block off Tokyo Bay.

We'll test it to see if it's aggressive.

If the creature doesn't show any willingness to stop

we'll have to attack it and kill it.

It's in our best interest to prepare for the very worst.

Right. That's why we must get the Cosmos back into our possession.

Only they can tell Mothra not to attack.

The Cosmos are missing.

The president of Marutomo just called me.

He suspects that we stole them.

Chief. The blockade is doing no good.

The Self-Defense Force will now attack with live ammunition.

Mothra oh Mothra

If we were to call for help

Over time Over sea

Like a wave you'd come

Our guardian angel

Mothra oh Mothra

If we were to call for help

Over time Over sea

Like a wave you'd come

Our guardian angel

Mommy, is Mr. Mothra coming to Tokyo?

That's what I hear.

How's it going? Hear something?

Please turn off the radio!

I can hear it. Their song.

It's close.

Heard any news from Miss Tezuka?

Nothing yet, sir.

Our dear Mothra

Righteous Mothra

Fight the great war

Fight the great war

Our dear Mothra

Righteous Mothra

Mothra has landed in Tokyo. Please evacuate.

Quickly, quickly! Keep moving!

Keep moving! This way!

Mothra has landed in Tokyo.

Come on! This way, people! Quickly!

So that's Mothra.

Sir. Let's get away. It's our fault.

We brought that monster here.

That's ridiculous, you fool!

Go on! Destroy the city!

I'll build it again. You'll see!

This way!

This is it.

You did? I see. Okay.

- They are in Akasaka! - Chief!

Mothra is heading to Akasaka!

Mothra is approaching!

You must evacuate the hotel immediately.

Hi, Daddy! There you are!

Hey. You've grown up.

Yep. You look younger than you did before, Daddy.

Really?

I'm ashamed of you.

Daddy, please return the Cosmos to Mommy.

I'm not proud of what I did

but you've done something just as foolish bringing a child here.

So just how do you plan on paying my alimony?

Daddy, I don't want you to be a thief.

I didn't tell her. She just knows.

After this, I wanted to start my life over again.

All alone?

I'd like to be with the two of you.

Well, if you sell the Cosmos, it just won't be possible. I won't have it.

And if I don't?

I believe we can work something out.

Mothra's getting close. We have to go now!

Hey! You all right?

Midori!

Please Cosmos. Please tell Mothra to stop.

I'll tell my Daddy not to steal anymore, and I'll make him nice.

She wants a father she can be proud of.

We understand. Please, don't cry, little one.

Take us outside.

Somewhere that Mothra can see us.

- Evacuation completed, sir. - Well done.

We're ready to fire at any time.

Mothra, we're here, and we're all right.

Please don't worry, and don't hurt any more people. Do you understand?

Mothra wants to tell you thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Mothra.

Mothra?

Fire.

Stop!

- Don't fire! - Don't fire!

There're still people in the hotel!

Cease fire.

Looks like Mothra's dying.

Where is it going?

No, not the National Diet Building.

Finally, Mothra got to...

Professor! Some really terrible news.

Oh, no!

The pressure of the magma has risen significantly.

This is urgent. In an hour...

No, in half an hour, I want this entire area evacuated.

Do you think Mothra is dying?

Mothra's not dying. This is just the end of its larval stage.

Its larval stage?

Reporting from the National Diet Building.

There has been a significant change in the situation.

Mothra appears to be making some sort of web or cocoon.

Look! They've got the Cosmos in that basket! Get them back!

Don't you understand, sir?

Mothra and the Cosmos are special creatures with a special mission.

If we use Mothra for our own benefits

it will completely destroy Marutomo!

Marutomo?

How dare you! Fool!

It's Mount Fuji.

Pull over here.

Are you okay?

- Hurry! - Yes, sir!

What did you say?

First the island.

Now Mount Fuji.

Why?

Why should I suffer more than anyone else? It's not fair!

The Earth is getting its revenge.

Andoh, have you really gone crazy?

No, I'm not crazy.

You're the only one here that's crazy!

You're fired! Get out!

You don't have to ask me to leave.

Your company will be destroyed.

This company helped to destroy the Earth.

Now, it's getting its revenge!

The Earth wants its revenge, does it?

Fine with me! I don't care!

I don't care. I don't care!

The marine divisions are in place and ready, sir.

Okay.

- Lights are in place. - Start operation in four seconds.

Godzilla.

Oh, my god.

Godzilla!

How can this be?

He must have gone under the Philippine Trench.

Then he traveled through the lava streams and came out at Mount Fuji.

That's impossible. Any lava stream is at least 1,500 degrees, isn't it?

It's a creature beyond our understanding.

Turn on the emergency circuit.

Miss Saegusa? It's Godzilla!

Godzilla's still alive!

General! Godzilla is back!

What?

Godzilla?

He came out of Mount Fuji.

What a creature.

They said he's heading for Tokyo.

Mommy! Look!

Nice!

Mothra will go find Battra and fight it again.

Battra is still alive, too.

We have Battra coming from the ocean.

And Godzilla in the mountains.

What now?

We have a plan that we hope will work.

We're gonna try and lead Godzilla to South.

Just maybe we can get him back into the sea.

Godzilla is approaching Yokohama.

The entire city must be evacuated.

Godzilla is passing through Hodogaya.

Kanagawa is expecting significant damage.

The entire city must be evacuated.

Godzilla is on the move. It's approaching Yokohama.

Oh, dear!

What could possibly stop it?

Midori!

Godzilla!

Look there. It's Mothra.

Our dear Mothra

Righteous Mothra

Fight

The great war

Fight

The great war

Our dear Mothra

Righteous...

- Watch out, Mothra! - Get away!

Look!

Mothra's reflecting Godzilla's beam.

That's Mothra's final attack.

No!

Mothra!

Battra, thanks for saving Mothra.

- Battra saved Mothra. - They've become friends.

That's crazy.

Battra and Mothra are joining forces against him.

Together they can beat Godzilla.

Godzilla!

They won!

Can they be... It seems as though they're communicating.

Yes, there is some sort of communication going on.

What about?

Battra!

Don't give up, Battra.

You've got him!

You can do it!

They did it!

They beat him!

What?

There's going to be a huge meteorite in the last year of the century.

I just can't believe it.

Battra was going to stop the meteorite from landing.

Will it destroy all life on Earth?

It will. Battra's been waiting around for many years.

It was going to destroy the meteorite.

But now, Battra's gone.

That's why Mothra has to go to protect us?

Mothra will do it.

The large meteorite is presently on its course to Earth.

Mothra will fly out and try to change its course before it reaches here.

Why are they making such a sacrifice for us?

That's something I'd really like to know.

Because that was the mission given to Mothra and Battra. And it's a promise.

A promise?

Of course, that's right.

Good-bye!

Bye, my friends!

See you later!

If the world lives to see another century

please remember what Mothra did for you and the planet you live on.

Are they ever gonna come back and see us again?

Sure, they will.

But until that time, we must take good care of the Earth ourselves.
