Godzilla vs. Megaguirus 2000

Godzilla's 1954 awakening and Tokyo devastation

In 1954, repeated nuclear tests revive Godzilla, who rampages through Tokyo. The city is left in ruin as authorities scramble to respond to the monster's attack. The event sets the stage for decades of fear and response from Japan.

Reconstruction and capital move

During Tokyo's reconstruction, Japan relocates its capital to Osaka as part of the recovery effort. The move signals a shift in national priorities and resilience in the face of disaster. The memory of Godzilla's first assault continues to shape policy.

G-Graspers formed; Tokai attack

Twelve years after the first attack, the G-Graspers are created within the Japan Self-Defense Forces to combat Godzilla. They confront the monster at the Tokai Nuclear Power Plant, highlighting the escalating battle between humans and kaiju. This era cements the ongoing effort to contain Godzilla.

Plasma energy era begins; Godzilla hits the reactor

Thirty years after the initial crisis, clean plasma energy replaces nuclear power in Japan. Godzilla attacks the original plasma reactor, causing substantial damage and casting doubt on the new energy source. The attack leads to a ban on plasma energy.

G-Graspers decimated; Kiriko survives

During the aftermath, Godzilla is responsible for the deaths of most G-Graspers, sparing only their captain Kiriko Tsujimori. The losses galvanize continued efforts to remove the threat and tighten controls on dangerous energy sources. Rebel scientist Hajime Kudo becomes involved with the mission against Godzilla.

Dimension Tide opens wormhole; Meganula arrives

Five years later, the Dimension Tide fires miniature black holes and opens a wormhole, allowing Meganula to slip into the present. A dark egg sac is deposited on Earth and begins oozing, signaling a new wave of invasion. The threat arrives in the current era and ties the past to the present.

Jun Hayasaka finds the egg sac

A boy named Jun Hayasaka finds the egg sac and moves to Tokyo with it. He remains unaware of the peril the egg contains. The discovery begins a chain of events that will bring Meganula into the city.

Egg sac hatches in the sewer

Jun tosses the oozing egg sac into a sewer, where it splits into numerous eggs that hatch into Meganulon. The Meganulon molt into Meganula, signaling a rapid evolution of the threat. The urban sewers become a cradle for the creature brood.

Godzilla returns; battles the G-Graspers

Godzilla reappears in search of energy and clashes with the G-Graspers, who are aided by renegade scientist Hajime Kudo. The monster demonstrates relentless pursuit of energy sources even as human factions try to contain him. The city readies for another devastating encounter.

Meganula swarm attacks near Kiganjima

The Meganula swarm is drawn to Godzilla's energy near Kiganjima and launches an attack. The Dimension Tide is fired again during the confrontation, but Godzilla survives the strike. The skirmish marks a turning point as the insects begin to threaten the kaiju's energy reserves.

Megaguirus is formed

A Meganula injects Godzilla's energy into a queen nymph, triggering her molt into Megaguirus. Megaguirus emerges as a winged queen and begins to terrorize Tokyo, forcing Godzilla into a new kind of duel. The metropolis braces for a clash of titans.

Megaguirus vs Godzilla

Megaguirus devastates Shibuya with wing-generated shock waves and heads toward Odaiba for a final clash with Godzilla. After a lengthy battle, Godzilla kills Megaguirus by crushing her stinger and blasting her with atomic breath. The city endures another epic kaiju confrontation.

Revelation: Godzilla drawn to plasma project

It is revealed that Godzilla was attracted to a secret plasma energy project housed at the Science Institute, violating the plasma ban. This reframes his motive from random destruction to energy-seeking behavior. The revelation prompts a reevaluation of energy policy and kaiju threats.
