Showa era
Terror of Mechagodzilla
After Titanosaurus made landfall in Tokyo, a fleet of Phantom IIs were deployed by the JASDF to attack the sea monster, arriving in formation and unloading their fire on the giant beast. Most of their shots hit, some even appearing to briefly set Titanosaurus's skin on fire, but suddenly he jumped into the air, colliding with and destroying two of the aircraft. Additional Phantom IIs later took part in the final battle when they came to Godzilla's rescue by attacking Mechagodzilla, who was about to shoot Godzilla with its finger missiles. Godzilla used the attack as a distraction to shove Titanosaurus out of the way and grabbed hold of Mechagodzilla, but the robot shot down the jets with its Space Beams.
Heisei era
Gamera the Guardian of the Universe
A squadron of six Phantoms were among the equipment fielded by the JSDF during their attempt to defeat Gamera at Mount Fuji alongside a battalion of Type 74 Tanks. Following the attack by the tanks, the jets performed an airstrike against Gamera using bombs, knocking the monster onto his back and leaving him temporarily immobilised as Gyaos approached. Just as it seemed that Gyaos was about to land a fatal blow using its Supersonic Scalpel, Asagi Kusanagi - using her connection to Gamera via her Atlantean magatama - was able to make Gamera dodge the beam at the last second, sustaining a gruesome laceration to his arm in the process.
