Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla

When a new Godzilla rises from the depths off Tateyama, the Japan Self-Defense Forces answers with Kiryu, a towering cyborg built around the fossilized remains of the original beast. Designed as humanity’s ultimate deterrent, the machine brings spectacular clashes of metal and atomic fury as it squares off against the living nightmare it was created to destroy.

At the heart of the conflict is young pilot Akane, whose fateful encounter with Godzilla forces her into Kiryu’s cockpit and into a reckoning with loss, duty, and identity. As the line between weapon and relic blurs—with the machine revealing traces of the original monster’s restless spirit—the film balances blockbuster action with quieter emotional beats about reclaiming agency and finding meaning amid inherited trauma.
