Plot

One year after the defeat of SpaceGodzilla by the hands of Godzilla and JSDF's mecha M.O.G.U.E.R.A., Miki Saegusa of the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center (UNGCC) travels to Baas Island to monitor Godzilla and his son Little, only to find the entire island destroyed and both monsters missing as the island was engulfed in an explosion of nuclear fission. Godzilla, now covered in lava-like rashes, subsequently appears in Hong Kong, destroying great swathes of the city with an empowered atomic breath. The JSDF hires college student Kenkichi Yamane, a grandson of Dr. Kyohei who had encountered the first Godzilla, to unravel the mystery of Godzilla's condition. Yamane suspects that Godzilla's heart, which acts as a nuclear reactor, is undergoing a nuclear meltdown as a result of the monster absorbing the energy released from a volcanically triggered uranium deposit on Baas Island. Yamane theorizes that when Godzilla's temperature reaches , it will lead to a thermonuclear explosion with enough energy to melt the Earth down to its core.
