Shin Godzilla (Godzilla Resurgence)

In 2016, the Japan Coast Guard initiates an investigation after an abandoned yacht is discovered in Tokyo Bay. The yacht is damaged, and a shocking scene reveals blood flooding the Aqua-Line, signaling a possible catastrophe ahead.

Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Rando Yaguchi views a disturbing viral video depicting chaotic scenes at the yacht site. He grows suspicious that a living creature is responsible, and soon, news reports confirm the creature's presence in the ocean.

As the creature begins its rampage, panic spreads through Tokyo, particularly in crowded districts like Kamata and Shinagawa. Citizens scramble for safety amid the devastation as the creature crawls inland.

The creature experiences rapid evolution, transitioning into a bipedal form before becoming overheated and retreating back into the ocean. This evolution raises alarms within the government regarding the potential devastation the creature can cause.

In response to the growing crisis, Japan's government appoints Yaguchi to lead a special task force tasked with investigating the bizarre entity. Their priority becomes the military strategy and ensuring civilian safety in light of the escalating threat.

The task force uncovers alarming radiation levels along the creature's path, pointing toward an energy source related to nuclear fission. This unsettling discovery intensifies the urgency to contain the evolving threat.

An unexpected collaboration emerges as the U.S. sends envoy Kayoco Anne Patterson to Japan. She provides crucial insights about Goro Maki, a discredited anti-nuclear zoologist whose research aligns with the creature's characteristics.

Godzilla re-emerges in its fourth form near Kamakura, prompting the mobilization of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. However, their efforts prove ineffective as Godzilla breaches defenses and storms into Tokyo, increasing the chaos.

In an attempt to subdue Godzilla, the U.S. devises a destructive airstrike plan while civilians and government officials are evacuated. Armed with bunker-buster bombs, the military finds itself underprepared for Godzilla's wrath.

Godzilla retaliates against the airstrike, unleashing atomic breath that wreaks havoc across Tokyo. This attack leads to catastrophic destruction, including the loss of a helicopter carrying the prime minister and key leaders.

After a fierce exchange and extensive destruction, Godzilla retreats, entering a state of hibernation due to its drained energy. This temporary reprieve raises questions about what might happen when the creature awakens again.

Yaguchi's team investigates further and uncovers that Godzilla's plates and blood act as a natural cooling system. They hypothesize that using a coagulant could potentially be the key to subduing the creature.

As tensions escalate, the United Nations warns Japan of potential thermonuclear action should Godzilla not be contained soon. Consequently, mass evacuations are ordered throughout several prefectures to safeguard civilians.

Using origami, Yaguchi's team successfully decodes Goro Maki’s research, which provides invaluable insights into their strategy to freeze Godzilla. Their successful decoding comes just hours before a planned nuclear strike.

In a climactic effort, Yaguchi's team orchestrates a plan to inject coagulant into Godzilla's mouth during an intense battle involving drones and explosions. This risky operation results in the creature being solidly frozen, marking a significant victory.
