History Film / GodzillaVsMegaguirus

** Considering that this is the same Godzilla from ''Film/{{Gojira}}'', he does not die at the hands of Daisuke Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer (nor is it clear if that existed).

* DelayedCausality: At one point, Godzilla and Megaguirus rush at each other, strike, come to a stop, and turn to look at each other. After a {{beat}}, one of Megaguirus' claws falls off, cut by one of Godzilla's dorsal spines. It has all the ingredients of the classic samurai SingleStrokeBattle, except Megaguirus doesn't die and the fight continues from there.

* PetTheDog: Sugiura lets Kudo get Dimension Tide back online.

* BigBadEnsemble: On one hand you have Godzilla rampaging across Japan ever since the 50's, with killing him being the end goal of the protagonists. On the other hand you have Megaguirus, an ancient giant dragonfly queen who's mutated into an even bigger size thanks to feeding off Godzilla's energy and who could potentially start an apocalyptic scenario with her insect swarm. Then there's also Motohiko Sugiura, who's illegal energy experiments are what's been attracting Godzilla to Japan in the first place, with him keeping them going even after discovering this.

* TheEndOrIsIt: Godzilla's been defeated! The Meganulon are gone, and so is Megaguiurus! But what's been causing earthquakes? IT'S ''GODZILLA!!!''
* ExtremeGraphicalRepresentation: The program Kudo uses to fix all the faltering tech is represented by a little man in a jetpack flying through a digital space and shooting corrupted data patches with a laser.

** He rush into using Dimension Tide when it hasn't been properly tested yet.
** He doesn't bother answering Kirko's Question of Godzilla's return and when Professor Yoshizawa asks him what's he hiding from the G Graspers when he decideds to go out on his own.

* GiantFlyer: Megaguirus.
* HellIsThatNoise: Megaguirus' shriek.
* ImplacableMan: Godzilla himself. Seriously, being attacked by energy sucking bugs, and being hit with a freaking ''miniature black hole'' is nothing to him in his quest for a secret energy reactor.

* PetTheDog: He lets Kudo get Dimension Tide back online.

** Considering that this is the same Godzilla from ''Film/{{Gojira}}'', he does not die at the hands of Daisuke Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer (nor if that existed).

* SlasherSmile: Megaguirus seems to sport one at various moments during her battle with Godzilla.

* StoryReset: set after [[Film/Godzilla1954 the first film,]] disregarding previous movies.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It is unknown what became of Sugiura after Kirkio punch him, he isn't on the Helicopter, its possible he got fire for violating the banned of Plasma Energy.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: As mentioned above, the Godzilla in this movie is the original Godzilla. Therefore, either Godzilla managed to evade the Oxygen Destroyer, or Dr. Serizawa would not budge on his refusal to use it.

The 24th entry of the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise and the second of the Millennium era. Another ContinuityReboot (albeit with some BroadStrokes cues from ''Film/{{Godzilla 2000}}''), it's a direct sequel to the first film. It involves the return of the obscure Meganulon[[note]]While this is the usual romaji for these monsters, the creators probably intended Meganeura, an actual genus of extinct giant-- though not kaiju giant--dragonflies.[[/note]] from ''Film/{{Rodan}}'' and the introduction of Megaguirus, their queen and an addition to the tiny number of female monsters. Called ''Gojira tai Megagirasu Jī Shōmetsu Sakusen'' (''Godzilla x Megaguirus: The G Elimination Project War'') in Japan.

* SignatureScene: The honour of the most discussed scene in the film goes to Godzilla jumping into the air, then body slamming Megaguirus to the floor.
