At last we have it now.

A robot to kill Godzilla.

The year is 1992 A.D.

In order to counter the threat posed to the planet's survival by Godzilla...

... Japan's Counter G Bureau...

... recruited the world's most brilliant scientific brains...

... to build a fighting machine.

The first machine was called "Garuda."

But its fighting capabilities were limited.

A far more powerful machine was required.

They salvaged a robot from the future, Mecha King Ghidorah...

... in order to study its advanced technology.

Its components were used to build a weapon to fight Godzilla.

They called it "Mechagodzilla."

Thirty minutes to nuclear systems check.

Its main engine is a reactor.

It uses a derivative of heavy hydrogen helium three in pellet form.

The armor is heatproof alloy, code-named NT-1.

And what about the protective shield?

Synthetic diamond, it's totally heat repellent.

It reflects the heat back to the source.

That's incredible.

I really believe this machine is the weapon to defeat Godzilla.

Oh, shit.

Hi, I'd like you to meet Yuri Katagiri.

Oh, hi there. I'm Kazuma Aoki.

So this is Robot One?

Yeah.

It's the ultimate in modern technology, otherwise known as Garuda.

Was the ultimate, now it's just junk.

Kazu here was on the team that built this machine here.

Of course he thinks...

So where do you work?

This section.

You do, do you? Well, then, welcome aboard.

Not quite. You've just been transferred.

- What? - Look.

"Mr. Kazuma Aoki is to report immediately to G-force."

G-force?

Single with no children.

- Hobbies, pteranodons? - Right, sir.

Don't you know what they are, sir? They're small flying dinosaurs.

Enough. You have been transferred over here...

...to take part in the Robot Two project together with three ace pilots.

But I'm beginning to have my doubts.

I'm wondering if there hasn't been some kind of mistake.

Flying dinosaurs!

I don't know where you think you are.

This isn't a summer camp for dinosaur freaks.

It's a training center.

Do you understand?!

Yes, sir.

Come in.

Sonezaki reporting for duty, sir.

Take him and drill him.

When attacking Godzilla, the safety zone is 43 degrees...

...in the horizontal direction, and 81 degrees...

...in the vertical direction from the rear.

The time from the radiation of his dorsal fins...

...to the discharge of his heat beam is 1.26 seconds.

Ready.

Start.

Simulation pattern J043, commence training.

- Prepare to fire laser cannons. - Roger.

Fire.

Raise the craft, increase the velocity.

- Report casualties. - No casualties to report, sir.

Goddamn it, I've lost all power in sector two.

- What's wrong? - The fuel line's damaged.

- Switch over to the auxiliary system. - Roger.

We were up here with the Russians doing a geological survey...

...for their national petroleum guys.

- Yeah. - We came across something strange.

We're nearly there.

Professor, is this really a pteranodon?

- Yes, I'm certain. - That's not all, professor.

- We found an egg. - Show me where.

That's incredible. I just can't believe it.

A pteranodon egg. And it would seem to be perfectly intact.

Look at it, it's enormous.

Professor, what do you think this could be?

Azusa, come here. Take a look at this.

- It's a plant substance. - Could it be some kind of fern?

Professor, look at the egg.

Look!

What the hell is that?

- Rodan. - Rodan?

It's a giant pteranodon.

You... You think it's from that other egg?

I'm certain.

It's been irradiated.

That's why it's so enormous. The same thing happened to Godzilla.

You know, this whole island is a junkyard of nuclear waste.

Godzilla!

Back to the helicopter.

The giant pteranodon egg found on Adonoa Island...

... has been taken to Kyoto. It will be examined by Professor Omae...

... of the National Institute of Biotechnics.

Right now, the question being asked is, "Will the egg hatch?"

Wow, that's incredible.

A 65-million-year-old egg right here. Amazing.

- What are you doing? - Oh, hello there.

My name is... Sorry.

Who are you?

- Do you work here? - No.

I'm a pteranodon enthusiast. Excuse me.

Hey, wait. You can't come in here. It's off-limits.

Oh, that's okay, don't worry. This is really most interesting.

- You can't stay here. - Tell me.

You think it'll hatch?

That would be a gas.

Just imagine it.

- Tell me, what are these? - Don't touch them.

Yes.

Yes, I'll be right there. All right, professor.

- Please get out. - Maybe I'll say hello to the professor.

Out of the question.

Right.

Okay.

But this was meant to happen.

- What? - What I mean to say is...

...who knows what it might lead to, you and me...

If you continue, you're gonna get a slap in the face.

I didn't mean to...

I want a constant surveillance on the egg day and night.

- Yes, sir. - Keep up time-lapse photography...

...one frame per hour. The color seems to be changing.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I guess it must have dropped into my pocket.

I'll bring it back as soon as I can.

I don't believe a word you're telling me!

If you ask me, you stole it from here.

Bring it back right now or else.

So I'm a thief now, huh?

Azusa, wanna hear my theory about our egg here?

Sure.

The egg's color indicates how it's feeling at the time, I think.

When we took it from its nest on the island, it turned red.

Because it was afraid.

It turns red whenever it's afraid or distressed.

- I see. - Azusa...

...I checked your duty hours for last week.

I found that whenever you were away, the egg turned bright red.

Otherwise, it stayed a normal color.

- Look here. - But why would it do that?

It's listening...

...to outside sounds, in hopes that maybe...

...it'll recognize its mother's voice somewhere.

That's my theory anyway.

But instead of her...

Azusa, it heard you.

Hey, what's this?

It's a prehistoric plant. Pretty old.

Yes, I can feel it.

- Hello, Miki. - Hello.

- How are you, Miki? - Fine.

- Nice to see you. Are you well? - Fine.

Well, I never! This is a surprise.

- Hello, sir. It's lovely to see you again. - You too.

- And who's this? - Aoki, G-force, sir.

G-force, did you say?

I don't trust you guys one little bit.

Please, sir, we need your assistance.

Can you take a look?

It emits something strange but very weak.

We can't seem to measure it.

Maybe they could find what it is.

- Music? - That's right, listen.

The children felt it when they concentrated.

Then fed it into the computer.

Yes? What? What's that?

What we've got is no pteranodon. This baby is something else.

- It's a Godzillasaur. - What's a Godzillasaur?

It's in the Godzilla family, but this species is not as aggressive.

Really? You sure?

- Well, he looks inoffensive. - He's kind of cute, isn't he?

Well, one thing's certain, this is no Godzilla.

What we have here is a plant-eating Godzillasaur.

Yeah.

I wonder... Maybe the egg was a parasite egg.

- What? - Professor...

...what's a parasite egg?

Well, it's like some birds.

They lay their eggs in the nests of other birds.

For example, the European cuckoo.

What?

Godzilla.

Yes?

What's that? Godzilla's attacking the city?

This is an emergency. All stations, position red.

Godzilla alert, level three.

All personnel to action stations.

- Control section, okay. - Roger.

Godzilla sighted. Godzilla sighted.

Ready Mechagodzilla for takeoff.

- Where's Kazuma? - I don't know.

What? Where the hell is that jackass?

Chase, get me a backup pilot.

Transport shuttle, sir, arriving cockpit in 15 seconds.

Godzilla presently located at point Q-back 108.

Set system with full 60 rounds of paralyzing missiles.

- Roger. Transfer to D2 block. - Roger.

Air system, on.

Retract ground air.

Missile system check okay. All laser cannons registering okay.

All systems green.

Rotate to standing position.

Activate lift.

Insert coolant now.

Insertion stand by. Okay.

Head, arms, open.

Open the body arms.

Elevate Mechagodzilla.

Extend all body arms.

- Start main engine. - Starting main engine.

Mechagodzilla, take off.

Maintain angles 120, go direct.

Roger. Changing course to 230.

Passing point delta one.

We have spotted Godzilla.

- Prepare for landing. - Roger.

Activating main screen.

Ghost Rider helicopters have taken position.

- Operation Exodus is in effect. - Report any casualties.

The time has come, finally, to put our technology to the final test.

Commence hover attack.

Launching megabuster.

Prepare to fire laser cannon.

Switching plasma energy on.

Plasma grenade port, open.

- Firing plasma grenade. - Fire.

You see, Mechagodzilla is stronger.

See, it can return your heat beam. We've got you, Godzilla.

Firing paralyzer missiles. Fire.

- Ready shock anchor. - Roger.

Commence discharge.

What's that?!

The power discharge. It's flowing backwards, sir.

The engine room's on fire!

- Evasive action! - We can't move!

- Get after him! - It is impossible for them...

...to fight in that condition. They'll be lucky to make it back.

Godzilla has passed point sierra five.

Scramble Green Hornet Division to location.

Things aren't looking good, I'm afraid. It'll take weeks to fix Mechagodzilla.

Damn!

I hope we're not too late.

Son of a bitch!

What's going on? Where's he heading?

Due west, sir.

Kyoto?

He must be stopped, whatever the cost.

Okay, go ahead. Maintain flight level.

Target in sight. Let's go in, boys.

Red Corps, engage at once.

He's through our defenses. So, what will we do?

It appears to be destroying everything in its path.

It's unstoppable.

There are explosions and massive fires all over the city.

Someone has to do something, or Kyoto will be destroyed.

Now it looks like it's heading for the Kyoto tower.

Evacuate the building. Evacuate the building.

Get out! Godzilla's coming!

Professor, do you think the baby called it?

Do you have a sealed room here? Maybe we can isolate the baby.

If we can stop it calling, there's a chance that we...

We can stop Godzilla.

Azusa, we could try the underground cell store.

I think that Godzilla went to the island for a reason.

I think it went there to collect the Godzillasaur egg.

Godzilla's up there.

He's above us!

Don't be afraid.

He's gone away.

Well, I...

You see, sir, I just...

...used up a few days' vacation I had coming to me, sir.

Well, next time, ask my permission first...

...before you go taking vacations.

I mean it.

Do you understand?

Well, let's just forget it this time.

Catch.

"Starting June 29, Officer Kazuma will be in charge of the parking lot."

That's what it says, Kazuma. Now get out. Goodbye.

Come in.

Excuse me, sir.

What, you mean, you...?

Baby.

You can't still be hungry. You've only just eaten.

Well, just a little bit, then.

Here.

It's really perfect. He'll love it here.

We'll raise it here, but we'll need your assistance.

We'll all be counting on you, miss, I hope you realize.

Don't worry, sir.

Take good care of it.

As you well know, it's a very important animal.

Welding team to sector three.

And also, check that transducer coupling.

If we were to take this and reattach it, okay...

...I think that would lead us, once again...

...to make that attachment there, which will help this...

Professor Omae of the National Institute of Biotechnics...

...has come up with a startling discovery.

It would seem that the Godzillasaur in captivity...

...has a second brain located in its body.

Right here.

So therefore the same must be true with Godzilla.

- Correct. - Go on, sir.

We'll change Mechagodzilla's attack plan, to attack this weak point.

Next time, we'll attack from behind and aim for his second brain.

This new attack plan has been given a code name:

G-crusher.

It'll paralyze Godzilla completely.

Without that brain, he won't be able to stand up.

You talked about how to increase Mechagodzilla's maneuverability.

Well, am I not right, professor?

Hey, hey!

- Stop this damn thing. - It wouldn't be impossible.

Why can't we modify the Garuda One?

Sir, what do you think?

We could increase the combat power drastically.

But then what are we going to do with Mechagodzilla?

We can get by with only minimum changes.

Yes, indeed, this would make it possible.

Baby, what are you doing?

Come here immediately.

Hey, babe.

What is that?

This is my new limousine.

And you can cut out the "babe" business.

I'm sorry. What's that?

He's been playing up.

Baby, you be good, okay?

You got promoted?

Yes, I did. I'm back flying again.

I'm really glad.

What's that?

This is my new robot.

It's called a pteranodon.

And, yes, it can fly.

- Can it really? - Why not come for a ride?

Take this. I think it should fit.

Hold on to me.

Baby!

You know, I pity your future husband. He's gonna be a real handful.

Just think. You'll need at least a mansion to house your dinosaur.

Right, here we go.

Oh, my God.

This way, girls.

Can I help you?

The girls wanted to come and see Baby.

- Are they all from the ESP school? - Yes.

- Hello, miss. - Hello there.

Isn't he lovely?

- He's still only little, though. - Yeah, he is so little.

The girls have learned to sing a song for him.

- Really? - Girls, sing for Baby.

Yes, please. Go on.

All right.

- Baby! - What's up?

- What? - Baby!

Baby, what's the matter?

No, Baby.

- I don't understand. - What's the matter with him?

What's wrong?

Yes, that must be it. It must be the song.

The song?

You remember.

The last time we heard the music, the baby started to hatch out.

Whenever he hears the plant's music...

...Baby somehow gets a huge intake of power.

The aim of the plan is to somehow try to lure Godzilla away.

The destination: The Ogasawara Islands.

They're remote and uninhabited.

And the only way to lure Godzilla is with a decoy.

And what will you use?

We've no alternative. The Godzillasaur.

Baby's life can't be put at risk.

Don't worry, you'll be looking after him.

I've decided that for this mission, you'll be onboard the Mechagodzilla.

- But what for? - Because, my dear...

...I need you to find the exact location of that second brain.

Believe me...

...it's very important.

I beg you, stop this operation.

I understand your concern, miss.

This dinosaur is an important asset. It would be foolish to waste it.

Baby's not an asset, he's just an intelligent being with a right to live.

Baby's not a commodity or a disposable asset.

Wait a moment.

The men of G-force have a responsibility.

They must rid the world of the threat posed by Godzilla.

That's why they've got to go ahead with this plan.

I'm sorry if you can't accept that.

You know, I did think...

...that fighting Godzilla was doing something worthwhile for humankind.

But now I guess I've just changed my mind.

Baby did that for you, I think.

I feel sorry for Baby.

I guess he was born 65 million years too late.

Maybe.

Or else too early.

Why too early?

Well, dinosaurs were around for 150 million years...

...and man has only been around for 2 million years.

Who knows, one day dinosaurs could make a comeback.

That's it. Come on. Easy, boy. Come on.

Come on.

There you go. Come on.

All right, come on. Come on.

Look, it's frightened.

Baby.

Baby.

Sorry, miss, you'll have to come down.

I'll stay here.

- Please close the door. - You sure?

Baby needs somebody.

There, there.

Everything will be all right.

All right, close it up.

Baby.

Don't be afraid.

I'll look after you. It's all right now.

This is Lizard One, course 167.

Roger, Lizard One.

What time is the attack scheduled to begin?

In 30 minutes, at 1700.

A report from Chitose Base, sir.

A giant bird was sighted above Amori 10 minutes ago.

A giant bird? Like what?

We have visual contact.

What the hell?

It's Rodan.

- Rodan? - Rodan's alive. Look!

The giant bird is now heading west.

Sendai's had a sighting.

- It's now turned south, sir. - Where's it going?

Maybe...

Listen, the baby's eyes were glowing red.

It could've been an SOS.

Baby is, after all, Rodan's half-brother.

They're communicating.

Contact Lizard One immediately.

Roger, returning to base, over.

Lizard One, come in.

Goddamn it!

We'll have to take another look at that one.

And what about this here?

Kazuma, the container's gone missing.

Operation checklist complete, sir.

Target system checklist complete, sir.

Johnson, climb to flight level 100.

Johnson? Do you read me?

Johnson! Answer me!

It's me, sir.

- Who's me? - Aoki, sir.

I'm sorry, sir, I had to do it.

Garuda was my idea, sir.

Climbing to flight level 100, sir.

Sir, Rodan's landed!

G-base to Mechagodzilla and Garuda.

Hurry! Rodan's landed. He's breaking open the container.

Oh, no!

- There they are. - Prepare for landing.

Roger.

- That's a heat beam. - Same as Godzilla's.

- Plasma grenades? - Wait. Aoki!

We're gonna use plasma.

You distract Rodan. Get him clear of that box!

Roger.

Damn that Rodan!

Turn on the energy storage switch.

Fire plasma grenade.

We've lost the right eye laser cannon, sir.

Fire!

Azusa!

- Where are you? - Hurry! Come on!

- Quick! - Azusa, are you okay?

Yes, sir. We're both all right. Baby's fine too.

Get down, professor. We'll open it.

Cut it open.

Godzilla's here at last.

Turn us around!

Garuda. Garuda!

Unable to contact, sir.

Plasma energy, on.

The energy pool's overheated, sir. We can't run it.

Shit!

- Switch to the auxiliary system. Hurry! - Roger.

What's the damage level?

Damage level eight, sir.

The joints won't hold up very much longer.

Aoki, you still there?

Damn!

Hurry! Godzilla's here. Aoki!

Godzilla?

All right!

You got here just in time. I was getting worried.

Well, where were you? Off on another vacation?

Let's see if you can get that tin can upright. Let's go.

Roger.

Set boosters...

...at full power.

Super Mechagodzilla formation, on standby.

Roger.

Super Mechagodzilla, ready to go.

Garuda, lock beam cannons on Godzilla.

Roger.

Fire all weapons.

Firing, sir.

Plasma grenades on standby.

Firing tranquilizer missiles.

- Prepare G-crusher. - Roger.

Preparation is complete.

Do exactly as you were told.

Do you hear?

Do it. You have to.

We have a lock-on.

Fire!

Commence discharge.

We got Godzilla. At long last we've won.

We've done it, commander.

Sorry, sir. Roger and out.

Aoki, where are you going?

Azusa, it's me.

Are you all right? Azusa!

Yes, we're all right.

All right, finish it.

Baby, it's okay.

Rodan is still alive.

What's that power?

That is Rodan's energy.

Godzilla's brain has reconstituted.

- What's that? - It's Rodan's energy.

- It revived the brain. - My God.

That isn't possible.

Incredible.

The armor plate is melting.

The armor's going, sir.

Hold on to your helmets. We're not beaten yet.

Emergency escape system activated.

Emergency.

Damage level 10. This ship has been destroyed.

There are no survivors.

Damage level 10. This ship has been destroyed.

- There are no survivors... - You're wrong.

There are plenty of us.

Azusa, Kazuma, hurry.

Baby...

...you must leave.

You must go back with the others.

It's the only way. Can't you see that?

Baby...

...I can't look after you anymore. See?

I'm so sorry.

Baby.

Baby.

I can't stay.

You have to understand.

And thank you, Baby.

Take care, now.

Miki, this is Azusa.

Do you read me? Over.

Please, Miki.

Try to make Godzilla understand.

Try using your telepathy...

...that he must take Baby away.

He doesn't belong here.

Do you think you'll be able to do that, Miki?

Yes, I'll try.

There's proof for all that life always conquers.

Life, sir?

Yeah, life...

...against artificial life.

Reptiles or humankind, we all fight to protect our offspring.

Take care, now, Baby.

You as well...

...Godzilla.

Will there be a dinosaur age...

...long after man's presence here has been forgotten?

It will come, I'm sure.

It may not be for another few million years.

I also know...

...they'll be waiting for it.
