Plot Summary


As the aftermath of Mechagodzilla City’s annihilation settles, the Bilusaludo on board the Aratrum, still reeling from their perceived betrayal, demand retribution against Haruo (actor’s name) for dismantling what they saw as a crucial deterrent against Godzilla. The humans, however, steadfastly believe that Haruo exposed the true intentions of the Bilusaludo - to assimilate Earth into their own - and therefore refuse to cooperate. In response, the Bilusaludo shut down the ship’s engine room, forcing the Aratrum to limp along on its secondary batteries for the next two days, a slow-motion ticking clock that amplifies the tension between the two factions.

Meanwhile, Haruo receives devastating news from Dr. Martin (actor’s name) - Yuko’s condition has deteriorated further, her brain activity reduced to near-zero, sustained only by the nanometal coursing through her veins. The revelation also sheds light on the Houtua, whose treatment with the same nanometal allowed them to survive its initial absorption attempt, thanks in part to Methphies’ (actor’s name) cunning manipulation of the survivors. As Haruo grapples with this new reality, Methphies reveals his ultimate plan: to summon the Exifs’ deity and bring it to Earth, but he needs Haruo’s cooperation to make it a reality - a proposition that Dr. Martin advises Haruo to reject until tensions ease.

As chaos unfolds on both fronts, Haruo finds himself in the care of the enigmatic Houtua twins, Maina and Miana (actor’s name). In a private moment, Maina explains to Haruo that her people are driven by an existential imperative - “winning” means survival and creating life, while “losing” implies death and disappearance. She offers to “connect life” with Haruo, but he declines. Later, when Maina extends the same offer once more, Haruo comes to realize that it was she who had saved him from certain doom, not her sister Miana. This epiphany prompts him to accept her proposal, sealing a bond that will prove crucial in the face of impending catastrophe.

In a stunning turn of events, Miana discovers Methphies telepathically communicating with Endurph, the Exif’s plans unfolding before her very eyes. As she reaches out to Haruo and Maina through the vast expanse of their minds, the stakes are raised to an existential level - the fate of humanity hangs precariously in the balance, as ancient forces stir and converge, threatening to upend the fragile equilibrium between humans and monsters alike.

As the ritual reaches its climax, Metphies (character) stands at the helm of a dark and ancient power, conjuring forth the behemoth Ghidorah in tandem with Endurph. The very fabric of reality warps as Ghidorah materializes, its ethereal form siphoning the life force from Metphies’ devotees and reducing the Aratrum to rubble. With an unyielding ferocity, Ghidorah turns its attention to Godzilla, exploiting the King of Monsters’ vulnerability by draining his energy with calculated precision. Dr. Martin’s keen mind pieces together the enigma that is Ghidorah, deducing that this otherworldly terror exists beyond the confines of our universe and is guided by Metphies himself.

As Haruo begins to grasp the sinister truth behind Ghidorah’s machinations, Metphies reveals a chilling revelation: his people have dedicated themselves to this monster since discovering the finite nature of their own reality. With an unsettling calm, Metphones explains that they’ve been offering planets as sustenance for Ghidorah, and that Haruo’s hatred towards Godzilla has made him an ideal offering to further their cause. The intensity of Metphones’ telepathic assault on Haruo serves as a stark reminder of the gravity of the situation.

Meanwhile, Maina and Dr. Martin employ the Houtuan god’s egg to establish a psychic link with Haruo, imparting crucial knowledge on how to halt Ghidorah’s destructive path. As the truth begins to unravel, Haruo is struck by a poignant realization: Metphones orchestrated the tragic fate of the Tau Ceti e exploration party in order to “save” them.

As Haruo’s recollections come flooding back, he recalls the charm that once brought him solace, now imbued with the symbolism of his name, “Spring”. The power of hope and resilience begins to course through his veins, energizing him to break free from Metphones’ mental grasp. With a surge of determination, Haruo cracks Metphones’ amulet, disrupting Ghidorah’s connection to our reality and paving the way for Godzilla’s triumphant resurgence.

In the aftermath, as Metphones succumbs to his mortal fate, he imparts a haunting warning: Ghidorah will forever be watching Haruo, its gaze fixed upon him so long as life remains within his beating heart. The weight of this foreboding pronouncement hangs precariously in the balance, leaving Haruo to confront the daunting possibility that this ancient evil may yet have unfinished business with humanity.

As the survivors settle into their new lives within Houtua society, the quiet rhythms of rebuilding civilization take hold. Maina, now pregnant with Haruo’s child, embodies the promise of a brighter future. Meanwhile, Dr. Martin reveals a groundbreaking discovery: he has managed to salvage the last remaining Vulture mech by harnessing the power of Mechagodzilla’s nanometal within Yuko’s body. This technological breakthrough holds the key to restoring the world as it once was.

However, Haruo is plagued by an unsettling feeling in his right eye, a sensation that eerily echoes Metphies’ prophetic whisper: that this development will ultimately pave the way for Ghidorah’s return to their reality. With Yuko by his side, Haruo deliberately goads Godzilla into destroying him and any remaining traces of living nanometal, making the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good of the Houtua people. This selfless act ensures that Ghidorah will not return to threaten their existence; instead, the Houtua learn to coexist with Godzilla, treating the mighty kaiju as a natural force to be respected and feared, but not warred with.

In the years that follow, Maina’s face lines with age, a testament to the passage of time. Yet, even in death, Haruo’s legacy endures. A post-credits scene reveals a poignant tableau: a group of children, their eyes aglow with reverence, conduct a ritual honoring Haruo’s memory. With knotted strings representing their deepest fears, they offer them up to the flames beneath a wooden effigy of a Vulture mech. Thus, Haruo’s story becomes a cautionary tale, passed down through generations as a reminder of the importance of sacrifice and resilience in the face of adversity.
