Godziburst (ゴジバースト Gojibāsuto) is a Japanese kaiju web series directed by Masami Fujita and written by Junichiro Ashiki. A collaboration of Toho, Bandai, and Bandai Spirits produced by MagniFIKA, it serves as a promotion for Bandai's toy line of the same name. Figures from the line are manipulated as puppets or filmed in stop motion to portray battles between Godzilla kaiju, similar to the 1997–98 TV series Godzilla Island. Each episode's starring monsters are given stat readouts and elemental Burst Types which allow them a unique Burst Move.
The series premiered with an "episode 0" on the BANDAI OFFICIAL YouTube channel on August 28, 2025, but was not followed by the official first episode until a month later on September 20, the day of the toy line's launch. The first season ran for five more episodes until November 7, after which a compilation of episodes 1–6 was posted on November 14. A second season was announced to be in development at the end of episode 6, and further information was given at the end of the compilation. It began a month later on December 12 and ran until February 27, 2026, with another compilation on March 6. The season 2 finale ended with the text "to be continued..." and a third season was formally confirmed at the end of the compilation. It began March 13.
