"Electromagnetic Shock Wave"

This is the first film in the "Godzilla" series. Due to the excessive exploitation of natural resources by human beings and the deterioration of the environment, the earth's ecosystem has been disrupted. In the last summer of the 20th century, on that day, human beings finally knew that they were not the earth. The sole ruler of the planet. The giant creature "Monster", and the ultimate existence "Godzilla" that banishes monsters appeared. After a half-century-long war with monsters, human beings have suffered repeated defeats and finally plan to escape from the earth. In 2048, after being screened by the artificial intelligence managed by the central government, a part of human beings embarked on a journey to the "Tau Ceti e" 11.9 light-years away in the interstellar immigration spacecraft "Alatram". However, the environmental gap between the planet that humans have spent 20 years reaching and the earth is far beyond expectations and is not suitable for human survival. There is a young man on the immigrant ship, Haruo. When he was 4 years old, he witnessed his parents being killed by Godzilla. For 20 years, he has been researching ways to defeat "Godzilla", always thinking of returning to Earth to destroy Godzilla and regain his homeland.

The possibility of immigration has been wiped out, the living environment inside the spacecraft has become worse and resources are gradually becoming scarce, the central government has issued regulations on abandoning the elderly to save resources and provide a glimmer of hope for the young survivors. Haruo, who witnessed his biological parents being killed by "Godzilla", hated Godzilla extremely, because he was forced to have such a regulation. He resolutely opposed it, but was arrested and locked up. In order to defeat "Godzilla", he anonymously posted on the post about how to defeat Godzilla, which aroused a heated discussion and brought a glimmer of hope in order to defeat "Godzilla". The "Return to Earth faction" centered on Haruo became the mainstream. 600 elite troops were ready to go. They decided to return to Earth through dangerous long-distance warp teleportation. However, after 20,000 years of evolution, the earth has formed an ecosystem with Godzilla as the top, and it has completely become an unknown world. The jungle birds and beasts are full of dangers everywhere. As the only one who clearly knew the weakness of "Godzilla", Haruo became the combat commander and designed a battle plan to lure him to the trap point and attack the back with artillery fire.

First of all, the mobile unit was divided into two groups, and the machine gun attacked "Godzilla" to attract its attention and lure it to the trap point. After reaching the trap point, blast it to limit its movement, and then the mecha unit will attack its back with an electric fork, so that it cannot release the "electromagnetic shock wave", and then annihilate it. In the end, "Godzilla" was buried deep in the ground, and everything went according to plan, but Godzilla was not expected to be reborn and become more powerful. Not only was the "electromagnetic shock wave" more powerful, but it would also sweep with its tail, causing the troops Heavy damage. Haruo, who was determined to defeat "Godzilla", once again witnessed the parting of death, lying inside the mecha, roaring in grief...

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters quotes

  • Haruo Sakaki: You bastard, I have... killed you!

    [fires at Godzilla]

  • Martin Lazzari: You've accomplished it, Captain.

    Haruo Sakaki: Because everyone believed in and supported me. I could be so daring and get this far. Even though we defeated it... What was it, really? How was it able to live for 20,000 years?

    Martin Lazzari: This is just my opinion, but I think this is a different Godzilla than the one that drove us from Earth.

    Haruo Sakaki: But its appearance and abilities were almost identical.

    Martin Lazzari: And that's why exactly why. Life's true nature is found in change. No matter how gradual the renewal cycle may be, it's impossible to maintain the exact same appearance. So this only may be an offspring that inherited Godzilla's form and nature. Such a guess would actually be the most natural. Although the question remains of why there was only this one. Also...

    Haruo Sakaki: So, there's no guarantee only one of them survived.

    Martin Lazzari: I apologize if what I'm saying spoils the victory, but that is correct.

    Haruo Sakaki: That's fine. Thanks to this battle, we proved that we can defeat Godzilla. Even if another one shows up, we have nothing to fear. Since we've established a valid strategy, we can be more effective next time.

    Martin Lazzari: Personally, I would never want to cross a tightrope like that ever again, though.
