Plot
The manga begins in 2000, where an organization named, N.U.S.O.D (National Unidentifiable Super Organisms Defense) uncovers a cave art. One of the researchers was Dr. Serizawa, who discovers it to be from, according to cave arts, “Gojira”. In the next cave art, it shows Godzilla battling Bagan. The story begins going to Europe during 1400s, which by then, Europe has started recovering from the devastating Black Plague. Emma, who’s a citizen of London, was sitting in her home, when suddenly, she heard screaming outside. As she looked out the window, her eyes were in shock, as a giant saurian like entity walks across the city of London. Archers got their fire and poison arrows ready and began firing at Godzilla. At the same time they fire other weapons, none of which seem to affect Godzilla. Who walks by ignoring the humans, letting out a roar which knocked down buildings.

Unknown to the humans, he wasn’t here to destroy, he was on a hunt for prey. Up north of United Kingdom, another monster awakens, Bagan. Who was attacking cities and killing both humans and wildlife, which sparked a wildfire. Emma meets with her husband, Elijah, who was on his way to talk to the king. Meanwhile, Godzilla finally finds Bagan and ambushes it. It roars and slashes Godzilla with it’s horn before trying to retreat. Godzilla however, recovers and bites the tail of Bagan. Now outraged, Bagan turns around and fires a pure radioactive red breath, which knocks Godzilla off his feet. Bagan then uses it’s destructive ray to destroy a mountain, causing it to collapse on Godzilla. Bagan takes this time to get away from Godzilla, and continues to attack humanity. Other countries hear about this, and not wanting the Bagan to be a potential threat to their nations, they decide to help the United Kingdom. However, Bagan was able to destroy all of their forces. Godzilla recovers and finds the Bagan again, this time he learned tactics and was able to overpower it. Bagan was killed by Godzilla’s spiral atomic breath, however he was severely injured in the process. He takes a look at humanity and carries the lifeless Bagan back into sea. In Japan, Cosmic Twins are seen worshipping Mothra, to help them in case of another potential Kaiju attack.
