Premise
In the year 1954, ''Japan fell under siege by a devastatingly powerful monster who reduced Tokyo to rubble over the course of an entire night. Though the beast was seemingly destroyed, the name of the monster would go down in infamy: Godzilla. Now a century has passed and humanity has made sure to be ready in case Godzilla returns. However, something far worse has awakened in the form of monstrous beasts awakened by humanity's mistakes... something made even more desperate as Godzilla's resurgence finally occurs. But as Japan becomes a battleground, two questions remain: Why has Godzilla returned and what connection does he have with the mysterious girl found in a capsule beneath the sea? ''
