Description

“
Godzilla suddenly makes landfall from Tokyo Bay.
The Self-Defense Forces begin their attack in Kabukicho, Shinjuku.
However, during the battle, it is discovered that Godzilla's body temperature is rising rapidly...![3]
„

Plot

Two JSDF soldiers in a Tokyo subway discuss how Godzilla's temperature is climbing before they evacuate. The monster's foot crashes through the station moments later. Helicopters fire missiles and machine guns at Godzilla as he retaliates with atomic breath, appearing staggered by their attacks. Pursuing one helicopter, he enters Shinjuku's Kabukicho district, his temperature reaching 490°C. His next blast of atomic breath is tinged with orange, but misses the helicopter. Godzilla stops in front of the heavily-damaged Shinjuku Toho Building, roaring at a sculpture of his head resting at nearly eye level. He shoots down the first helicopter to resume firing at him, but the second knocks him over with a missile barrage. Smoke obscures the monster, but as his body temperature exceeds 800°C, he fires a powerful heat ray to annihilate the helicopter and devastate the surrounding area. He rises with yellow-orange patches throughout his skin, having becoming Burning Godzilla. A soldier stares at him in awe before hearing the arrival of a new monster. Godzilla stares down his next opponent and roars a challenge.

Notes

  1. ↑ While the word 炎上 would normally be pronounced as enjō, the furigana バーニング indicates it is in this case pronounced bāningu. At Godzilla Fest 2025, host Shinsuke Kasai introduced the film as Shinjuku Enjō but was later corrected by director Kazuhiro Nakagawa to Shinjuku Bāningu.
