The film’s strong anti-nuclear consciousness was doomed from the almost original copy of the fifth Fukulong Maru incident, and the Tokyo fire in the middle section showed the charm of the special film to the fullest. The panoramic perspective of Anno Hideaki's version is derived from this film, and the self-sacrificing resurrection of Godzilla in the legendary GKM Dr. Serizawa is also a reverse tribute to the end of the film. The iconic Godzilla March of Ifobu Zhao is more like an army theme when used in this movie.

Chief of Emergency Headquarters: This is quite a problem, professor. If this keeps up, we'll have to suspend the international shipping routes. Have you found a way? Is there something we can do to defeat it?
Kyohei Yamane-hakase: So, that's it...
Chairman of Diet Committee: Professor Yamane, let's be honest. If there's a way to defeat Godzilla, we need to know.
Kyohei Yamane-hakase: It's impossible! Godzilla absorbed massive amounts of atomic radiation and yet it still survived! What do you think could kill it? Instead, we should focus on why it is still alive. That should be our top priority!
