K105 Tsukioka calling head office.
At 34° north and 136° east...
there's a large school of bonito. Please inform Kokuryu Maru III.
Over.
K105, this is the head office.
Roger that.
Continue to monitor the school's course. Over.
Roger. This is K105, Out.
"Kokuryu Maru III: This is the head office.
Large school of bonito at 34° north and 136° east.
Proceed at full speed.”
K105 Tsukioka calling head office.
I'll guide the Kokuryu Maru III from here. Over.
Roger.
Aren't you tired?
Hidemi, want to go dancing tonight?
Roger.
Let's get dinner at the Astor first.
I'll borrow Daddy's car.
That's against the rules even for the boss's daughter!
Forgive me. I'll buy you some red bean soup.
Then I take it back. Carry on!
You're easy to buy off!
This is K104 Kobayash, calling head office. Mayday!
Engine trouble!
Kobayashi, this is head office.
Report your present location.
Approaching the south shore of Iwato Island.
My engine's dying!
My engine's gone!
Send rescue!
Kobayashi! Come in!
Tsukioka, Kobayashi's making an emergency landing near Iwato Island.
Proceed at once!
What's that? Kobayashi?
Roger. Diverting to Iwato Island.
- Daddy! - What's going on?
Kobayashi's plane!
What? What's happened?
Tsukioka calling head office.
I see the crash site.
Landing now.
Roger. Be careful!
Tsukioka, we're counting on you!
- Does it hurt? - I'll be fine.
It's just a little sprain.
Good thing you got here so fast!
You should thank those two ladies on the radios.
You mean I owe my life to those nags?
They'll really lord it over you now.
Run!
What is that thing?
It must be Godzilla!
Godzilla?
Hey! It's now or never!
OSAKA CITY POLICE HEADQUARTERS
This is it!
Yes, that's the one!
I see...
Dr. Yamane, our supposition was correct.
It's the worst possibility of all.
So there's another monster besides Godzilla?
That's right.
The hydrogen bomb test awakened Godzilla.
Now Ankylosaurus has also been roused.
Ankylosaurus?
That's right.
This is an Ankylosaurus.
It's also known as Anguirus.
It's a dinosaur that walked the Earth in prehistoric times...
between 70 and 150 million years ago.
Needless to say, Godzilla lived during the same period.
This is a report by a leading authority, Dr. Piotr Hodor,
of the Polish Paleontology Association.
Allow me to read it.
"Anguirus, ranging from 150 to 200 feet in height,
is exclusively carnivorous and extremely violent.
It's extremely nimble for its massive size.
Furthermore...
the most remarkable difference between it and other animals
is that its brain is distributed across its thorax and abdomen,
which contributes to its remarkable agility.
Anguirus is extremely aggressive
and hostile toward other species.”
Indeed, the pilots who witnessed the battle have confirmed
that it made a surprise attack on Godzilla from behind.
It's terrifying to ponder,
but we must acknowledge that this is in fact Anguirus.
Next we'll hear from Dr. Yamane, who just flew in from Tokyo,
about measures to take against Godzilla.
As for measures to take against Godzilla...
I'm afraid that right now...
there are none.
We have no plan at present...
and no proven countermeasures.
However, I brought some film footage from Tokyo
that shows how Godzilla devastated that city.
After you watch it, I'll answer questions,
and then I hope we can devise a plan together.
As you just saw...
even with all our weapons and collective ingenuity...
we weren't able to stop...
Godzilla's frenzied, radioactivity-fueled rampage.
But wasn't Godzilla taken out in one shot?
Yes, we used the Oxygen Destroyer.
It destroyed Godzilla in a blink
but then sank to the bottom of Tokyo Bay.
Its inventor, Dr. Serizawa, is also no longer with us.
There's no hope of finding another way to destroy Godzilla.
So you're saying there was more than one Godzilla?
That's right. That was our greatest fear.
And now, besides a second Godzilla,
we have a new threat in Anguirus.
We now face a threat even greater than nuclear weapons.
But we have to minimize the damage somehow.
You're right.
Right now that's all we can hope to do.
To do that we must find out where they are...
predict where they'll come ashore...
evacuate the residents...
and impose a complete blackout.
There is one thing I can say based on what happened in Tokyo:
Godzilla is acutely sensitive to light.
It sends him into a rage.
We suspect it brings back memories of the hydrogen bomb test.
His reaction to light is peculiar indeed.
We may be able to use it to our advantage.
We could drop flares...
that would lure Godzilla far out to sea.
Right now I can only offer these passive measures...
but the blackout is absolutely essential.
KAIYO FISHING, INC.
I wonder if Osaka will be okay.
I can't say...
but I hope there won't be a repeat of Tokyo.
It's too quiet. It gives me the creeps.
I know what you mean.
It was quiet like this on Iwato Island too.
Mr. Kobayashi was quite impressed with you.
He said you were very brave.
Nonsense!
You can't call that bravery.
I was resigned to our fate.
But you made it.
When I thought it was the end, all I could see was your face.
Really?
It's finally started.
Calling all search personnel.
Despite searching all night,
we still don't know Godzilla's whereabouts.
Continue the search.
If you spot Godzilla, make a full report of his movements.
Over.
Where could Godzilla be hiding?
The seabed in that area has countless caves
formed by movements of the Earth's crust.
If he's hiding in one of those,
we may not find him for quite some time.
There's nothing easy about any of this.
Headquarters...
this is F1654.
At 34° north and 135° east, radar indicates a Godzilla-like subject.
We're in pursuit. Over.
Headquarters, this is Frigate T105.
At 34.5° north, 134.83° east,
we've spotted a Godzilla-like object and are pursuing. Over.
Task Force HQ to all search personnel:
Proceed to 34.5° north
and 134.83° east immediately.
Professor, judging from Godzilla's path -
Yes,
he's headed for the Kii Channel between Shikoku and Wakayama.
WILL GODZILLA COME ASHORE? HEADED FOR KII CHANNEL
Godzilla Task Force, 3:00 pm. announcement.
An evacuation order has been issued for southern Shikoku.
Aerial reconnaissance shows Godzilla moving northeast.
He's expected to come ashore on the southern coast
today or tomorrow.
All ships in the area and residents near the channel
are to evacuate immediately.
Mr. Yamaji, if Godzilla runs amok in those waters -
We'll lose some of our most valuable fishing grounds.
That would be a terrible blow to production.
Why don't they hurry and lure it away with flares?
It isn't some little animal -
But if they don't, we won't be able to eat fish!
GODZILLA SHIFTING COURSE? OSAKA AND KOBE SIGH WITH RELIEF
Twilight draws near
On the shores of the lake
Together on the balcony
Of a hilltop hotel
Such sweet agony, this love
How happy I am
Don't say a word
Let us stay just as we are
Just the two of us together
With no one else around
This is an official announcement.
An alert has been issued for the Osaka region.
The Godzilla Task Force reported at 19:30 that Godzilla,
who'd been expected to come ashore in Shikoku,
has suddenly changed course and appears headed for Osaka Bay.
Flares will soon be air-dropped over the ocean
in an attempt to lead Godzilla away from the bay.
In addition, a blackout order will soon be imposed.
Everyone please exit the hall calmly...
OSAKA STATION
What's that?
Quick! Take cover!
Battle stations!
The Konohana area has been evacuated.
The Sumiyoshi area has been evacuated.
Task Force directive:
All police in our jurisdiction are to evacuate
prisoners in their custody to the safe zone.
It seems to be working.
Thank goodness.
We're all right now.
We did it.
Tsukioka, the boss went to the cannery.
The cannery?
Yeah. I'm headed there myself.
I see. All right.
Hidemi, I think you'll be safe here,
but if anything happens, run toward the mountain.
I Will.
You be careful too.
Come on, I'm leaving.
Bye for now.
Please look after my father!
Thanks to our air unit's skillful deployment of flares,
Godzilla is moving away from Osaka Bay.
But to continue to protect lives, property, and the city of Osaka,
we ask that you maintain a strict blackout.
Mr. Yamaji!
Godzilla's been led out to sea, about a mile from the breakwater.
It seems Osaka has escaped destruction.
We just have to hold out a bit longer.
You there, sit down!
What's going on?
Number 14 had another seizure.
Again?
Stop!
Hurry up!
Stop!
Freeze or we'll shoot!
The truck! Get in!
Damn it! Stop!
Sorry, but follow that truck!
Damn it!
What's that?
That's Anguirus!
Anguirus?
Take cover!
Mr. Yamaji!
It's too dangerous here.
Sir, let's get out of here!
I see what's happened.
The flares that drove Godzilla off
drew the other one in!
Mr. Yamaji, let's get out of here quick!
Sir, there's no hope now.
Let's go.
That way!
What? I see.
Everyone evacuate!
Godzilla has finally defeated Anguirus.
The battle of the century is over.
But look at the streets of our beloved Osaka,
at our world-famous Osaka Castle, all trampled by Godzilla,
the bastard spawn of the hydrogen bomb.
We're powerless against Godzilla's rage.
Defeating Anguirus seems to have pacified him.
He's now calmly heading back out to sea.
Shibaki...
that smoke is where our cannery was.
It's far worse than I expected.
We'll get back on our feet.
Rest assured of that.
That's heartening to hear, sir.
But was it worth flying all the way from Hokkaido for?
Oh! When did you arrive?
Miss Hidemi, I rushed here on a morning flight.
Sir, we can't find any trace of Godzilla.
The Coastal Defense Force hasn't found him either.
I see. Thanks.
We looked everywhere.
Kobayashi, would you mind going to the Hokkaido office?
Hokkaido?
The manager and I have talked it over.
We're in bad shape here, but we can't let our ships sit idle.
Hokkaido will be our center of operations for now.
We want to make full use of the fisheries and cannery there.
Anywhere is fine as long as I can keep flying.
Thank you. You'll play an important role.
Daddy, there must be work for us there too.
No, you have lots to do here rebuilding the head office.
I see.
You can go to Hokkaido after that.
Darn!
Miss Hidemi, I sympathize.
Godzilla has delayed your wedding.
To paraphrase Confucius: “A long engagement - is that not a joy?”
Right?
You win!
All right, once I'm in Hokkaido, I'll start looking for a bride.
You can search by plane.
Mr. Kobayashi, women aren't like fish, you know.
She got me again!
As your boss, I'll be happy to be the go-between.
Thank you for your help.
He'll need it!
KAIYO FISHING, INC. HOKKAIDO OFFICE
- Thanks for your help. - Yes, certainly.
Sir, I'm off to look for “brides.”
Good luck.
Where's the “go-between”?
Our ship is waiting in this area.
Then it's time the groom made an appearance.
The nuptial sake will be waiting when you return.
Roger that.
Be careful, “Mr. Groom.”
It's under control!
Captain!
We've received a report of a large school of cod.
42° north, 146° east.
Great!
There's Mr. Kobayashi!
That's taken care of.
Just a minute.
We have to prepare the nuptial sake.
Call the Yayoi and tell them to expect a large party.
“I hope it's a big haul!”
Leave it to us!
Hokkaido office calling Kobayashi.
Kobayashi here.
Please return at once.
Is this Hidemi?
Yes, I just got here.
Is Tsukioka with you?
Yes, Daddy and I flew up in his plane.
- I'm glad you finally made it. - Hey, Kobayashi!
You're there too?
Yeah. Things in Osaka are under control, so we rushed up.
I see.
Listen, there's someone who wants to see you.
See me? Who?
Someone special.
Someone special?
Mr. Kobayashi, who is it?
- You'll see. - Come on, it's me.
It's a secret.
You're mean! No present for you.
Oh no! What'll I do?
Who could it be?
I don't know. All the way here in Hokkaido.
THE YAYOI RESTAURANT
So who is it?
You'll see.
Hello?
Can we get some service?
Ah, Mr. Groom!
They've all been waiting.
Tsukioka, it's me!
It's you guys!
You're still alive?
You're looking well.
Tajima, what are you doing now?
They went to college and flew in the war together.
- Captain Terazawa! - Tsukioka?
I heard from Mr. Groom you'd be flying in.
- Glad to see you're well, sir. - Ditch the formalities.
- Time to drink and catch up. - Mrs. Tsukioka, join us.
Just like you to jump to conclusions!
I'll go check on the company banquet.
See to the other party.
The girls at the fishery need no makeup...
Tsukioka, have more.
No, I've had enough.
What the hell? Henpecked already?
Sorry, no offense.
Mr. Groom, let me pour you one.
Thank you.
In the capital in spring
The clouds are colored purple
The scent of flowers hangs in the air
Around our banquet on a straw mat
They're having a good time too!
Would you excuse me a minute?
Excuse me.
Mr. Groom!
The firm's paying.
Mr. Groom, you're late.
Sorry!
Mr. Kobayashi, now I get it.
“Mr. Groom” means you, right?
Yeah, it's a strange nickname.
Is it really just a nickname?
Yes, for now.
You still haven't found a bride?
There is one girl...
Let me see!
- Not yet! - You're no fair.
Excuse me.
Kobayashi! Tsukioka!
The Zuiko Maru ll has sunk!
Sunk?
This is still unconfirmed, but it seems Godzilla did it.
Godzilla?
Go inform the Coast Guard.
Excuse us.
How do you know it's Godzilla?
This man received a radio message.
The Zuiko Maru ll reported seeing a Godzilla-like object.
That was followed by an S.O.S. and loss of radio contact.
Ikeda!
Put your men on emergency alert.
Tajima,
set out in the morning with a search party.
Hokkaido office calling Tsukioka.
Tsukioka here.
No sign of Godzilla yet. Over.
Severe weather forecast.
Please return at once. Over.
Request to continue the search.
Present position: 50° north, 147.5° east.
You don't have to search that far away!
You'll end up in another country. Please come back now!
Roger. Don't worry.
Hokkaido office calling Tsukioka.
Tsukioka here. I'm continuing the search.
Tsukioka, come back immediately!
Stubborn man!
Miss Hidemi...
I have a question for you.
What's the matter?
What do you want to know?
What kinds of things do girls want?
You don't have to tell me now.
No, it's fine. Ready?
Wait a minute. You're a rich man's daughter.
- You want me to stop? - No!
No, I want to know.
Girls want lots of things.
I thought so. What's first?
A handbag.
A watch.
A watch? Ouch!
Stockings will do.
How old is she?
Well, she's -
No, you can't trick me!
You can tell me.
Isn't Tsukioka kind of late?
Tsukioka here.
Godzilla spotted. In pursuit. Over.
Roger.
Please don't pursue him too far.
You have enough fuel?
Just enough to return.
Are you crazy? I'll take over. Your location?
148° east, 53° north, over Kamiko Island.
Godzilla may be going ashore.
- Got it. Get back here! - Mr. Kobayashi!
I'm counting on you.
Be careful.
Roger!
In return, you think of the best gift.
Okay, I will.
I'm counting on you.
Follow Godzilla's position closely.
No vessels within 20 miles of Kamiko Island.
Tajima!
Load up the bombs and prepare to launch!
If Godzilla escapes through this inlet, there'll be no trapping him.
We have to seal this off and pin him in.
We can buy time by creating a fire fence.
Ikeda.
Load the landing craft with gasoline cans and set out.
Tajima, you lead the air squadron.
Son of a bitch!
Kobayashi here. Godzilla's heading for the ocean.
We need Defense Forces aircraft right away. Over.
Defense Forces aircraft are en route. Over.
Roger.
Son of a bitch! Think you can get away?
Commence attack!
Tajima, it's not working.
Damn you!
Tajima, look!
That's it! An avalanche!
Bury Godzilla with an avalanche!
All right!
All planes bomb the mountaintop! Trigger an avalanche!
Daddy!
What is it?
- It's Mr. Kobayashi. - Has something happened?
Yes.
He's never coming back.
I see.
Kobayashi's gone?
But he showed the others a way to destroy Godzilla.
It's not working!
We'll fire missiles into the mountainside.
First formation, head back to base to load missiles.
Everyone else, keep an eye on Godzilla.
The best way to trigger a massive avalanche
is to aim here.
But it's a very difficult maneuver, understand?
We fly in from here, fire the missiles,
then pull up into a steep climb.
The first danger is Godzilla's atomic breath.
The second is not pulling up in time
and hitting the peak.
Avoiding both will take nothing short of a miracle.
But we must try...
and we must succeed. Understood?
Missiles loaded.
Good. We leave now.
Sir.
Tajima, take me with you.
I'm sorry to ask again, but let me do this.
Tsukioka, you'll be risking your life.
I'm ready, sir.
Unload the drums!
Godzilla could appear any minute!
Hurry up! Quickly!
They're taking too long.
Back to the ships!
Hurry!
Watch out!
Godzilla will crush you!
Quick!
All right. Fire!
No sign of them yet?
The fire will only last three more minutes.
Here they come!
That's it, boys!
Hit it good!
Damn it!
Be careful, boys!
Damn it!
He did it! Tsukioka!
Kobayashi...
we defeated Godzilla at last.
THE END
