An underwater base was recently established near Ogasawara Island, and scientists are studying the habits of marine life.

New kinds of fish are being bred here, while on land, all of the earth’s monsters have been collected and are living together in a place called Monsterland: Godzilla, Rodan, Angilas, Mothra and Gorosaurus. If the monsters try to leave the spaces provided for them, a special control apparatus goes into operation. They are confined within scientific walls, each according to their own instincts and habits. Rodan can fly within a limited area of water that is shelled by a magnetic wall. There is food in abundance here and the monsters are free to eat as much of it as they please. Everything is automatically controlled here from the control center that is situated deep in the earth.

Is CHX all right?

Yes, it’s OK.

That’s good. The monsters look cute when you look at them from this angle.

Yes, they do!

Well I’m glad you agree. I was afraid they would frighten you.

Oh no!

Now. Your job will be to help me make a thorough study of them.

Right! [The first of many in this dub.]

Kyoko Manabe, a long distance call is waiting for you on panel number four.

Go ahead.

Hi!

Well, it’s Katsuo! Where are you?

I’m at the moonbase!

What?

This phone call costs a lot!

Oh?

I’ve been very worried about you on that island.

You have, huh! You can see that everything’s fine.

Right! I really wasn’t worried about you. I was more worried about Godzilla!

Oh.

Hehe, But I really think that monsters are here too!

Is that so?

(Laughing) Well, maybe. I can’t say for sure, but it worries me. Can you put Dr. Yoshida on the phone now?

The chief’s in Tokyo now attending a committee meeting.

Well, when he comes back… <The video call turns into static.> Hello? Hello!

What’s wrong?

Hello! Hello!!

Power station! Power station! This is the operator speaking. Power station, what’s wrong!

What’s going on?

I can’t understand! Oh -wait!- the controller apparatus is out of order! Hmm… What’s causing this? Now, we’ll investigate this right away!

Right!

Quick, check out the trouble circuit!

No good!

What’s wrong? Huh?

I don’t know, sir!

(Gasp) Doctor!

Oh, gas!

Hurry up!

Suddenly, all communication has been cut off from Monsterland. The United Nations Scientific Committee has called a special meeting in Tokyo. It is now in the process of establishing contact with Ogasawara Island.

Number six has Ogasawara.

Good. Amplify it!

Right.

No good. Someone’s jamming us.

Once more. Try to get them again!

Doctor, this is deliberate interference!

I fully agree with you. But just who is causing this?

Doctor, look!

This is terrible. It’s changed so.

Maybe volcanic action?

Now, amplify it again!

Right.

What caused all that destruction? Those people’s lives are in great danger.

This is a special broadcast from Radio Moscow. This is Radio Moscow reporting. Rodan has suddenly attacked Moscow!

It’s Rodan!

The attack started at eleven o‘clock, and now he has destroyed everything in the city! The Russian leaders have called out their defense force. There is no doubt that this is the same Rodan who comes from Monsterland on Ogasawara Island!

He’s in Moscow! What’s gone wrong with him?

This is Paris. Radio Paris reporting! A subterranean monster has just broken through the ground! Our city’s most famous landmark is about to be destroyed by the monster! All of Paris are holding their breath! Oh! [unintelligible] has been destroyed at last! [unintelligible] destroyed, and the rest of Paris will be destroyed with it!

The major cities in the world are being destroyed one by one by the monsters. Moscow by Rodan, Beiping by Mothra, and London by Manda. Paris by Baragon. Here’s a special news bulletin: Godzilla is now in New York City! The city’s been invaded by Godzilla!

Doctor, what do you think has caused this?

How did the monsters escape!

Couldn’t you foresee this!

We are not trying to conceal anything from you. The truth of the matter, gentlemen, is that we don’t know what has happened.

Is that true, Doctor?

Uh… All I can say now is what I said twenty years ago. Remember that typhoon? We must be on our guard! <Press reacts> Quiet. Quiet! We know nothing! But every one of us fears the very same thing. I’m trying to find the answer to this.

But Dr. Yoshida, Monsterland is close by, so why wasn’t Tokyo attacked?

I’d like to know that answer myself! Now please excuse me. I’m tired.

Moonlight SY-3. Moonlight SY-3.

This is Moonlight SY-3. Over.

Return to the base.

Why, what’s wrong?

You’ll find out. Hurry and come back!

Huh?

Hey! Catch it!

Right.

We can’t let it get away.

But we have to return.

Hold on a minute. That’s a UFO out there!

This is too dangerous.

What is it?

Moonlight SY-3! Moonlight SY-3, what’s wrong!

Again? (Grunt)

But, what’s going on down there? Is it some kind of an emergency? Is that why they called and asked for our help?

They didn’t ask us for help.

Then what do they want?

They want us to return.

Huh?

We’ll guide you in a few moments. Landing place is Monsterland. You’ll go underneath the ground. I know that you’re the only people who can do this job. Watch out for possible trouble.

Huh? Should we be armed?

Yes. Watch yourselves.

All right.

We’re on it.

We’re on the guiding beam.

All right, let’s go!

Everyone, get ready to land!

Reverse engines, OK.

Hang on, everyone!

This is Moonlight SY-3. We’re now at the entrance of the control center.

Good! Some creature has taken over there. Your job is to find out what it is. This is dangerous, so watch your step.

Right.

Gas and acid: they check out all right.

Good. Let’s go!

Careful!

Right.

(Hmm?)

Hey, look!

Well, welcome back to Earth!

Kyoko! Doctor!

Have a good trip?

What’s going on around here?

I didn’t think that’d you really come here.

Can you explain this? Doctor!

Don’t get yourself so excited. I want all of you to cooperate with us. Things will run a lot smoother then.

Cooperate?

What do you think you’re talking about? You let all the monsters loose when the chief was gone!

No, you’re wrong. We’re controlling them from here.

Remote control?

Watch the screen. Mothra is now near Beiping. Godzilla is here. And Rodan is flying. If we want to call these monsters back, it’s a simple process. Now, I’ll introduce you to the inventor of this unit. Follow me.

Come this way.

I’ve been waiting for you.

They must have questions for you.

I want you to know that I am not your enemy. It is my dream to build a new scientific civilization on Earth with the help of you people.

You’ve just destroyed some of our major cities. Now who are you!!

Katsuo! Why don’t you let her finish her story?

Listen, Kyoko-.

In order to build this scientific civilization, we have to sacrifice some lives.

What’s that!

Where are you from?

Kilaak.

Kilaak?

From outer space. There are many small planets moving between Mars and Jupiter, and this lady comes from one of them.

Do you really believe that?

Yes I do. I highly respect this person because of her scientific ability. The remote control unit is just one example. She’s truly brilliant, a living genius!

Okada, come back!

(Laughing) See? Better give up. You cannot penetrate that wall.

What will you do?

You’re coming with me. Where are the others?

They’re all right. Why don’t you leave them alone?

You better call them!

Don’t bother them. Will you join us?

No I won’t, and I’m taking some of you out of here.

Captain’s right. Now get ready to leave.

Now move!

Hey, it’s gas! Quick!

Stop!

Hurry up!

Oh, Captain, quick!

Here’s the masks!

Catch her!

Take him to the ship!

Kyoko! Kyoko!!

Look out! Look out!

Get back! Get back!

Captain! Captain!

Oh, Captain!

Now, let’s go!

What’s happened to you, Doctor? Have you been brainwashed?

He won’t answer any of our questions. Something’s wrong with him. Dr. Otani: If you want to be saved, you have to answer our questions. Understand?

I think that he’s faking. He’s keeping quiet cause he knows too much!

The Self Defense Force is standing by to protect us. We’ve checked out the island and no one’s there. Tell us where their new base of operations is and the courts will go easy on you. Don’t you care what happens to you now?

What now?

Doctor!

Don’t touch him!

It’s you!

You’re all slaves to the people of Kilaak!

Come with us quietly. You won’t be hurt. Now! Come on.

Where are you taking that man?

You be quiet. I think we should use these on this fool!

(Gasp) The special police!

Let’s go!

Hey! Hey!

Wait!

Scalpel.

Was he hard of hearing?

No.

It’s not a hearing aid.

It’s hard to tell what it is, but I think it’s some kind of metal. I can tell you right now that this is some sort of miniature transmitter. But why would they put something like this inside his body?

Doctor, is this how he controlled the monsters?

Possibly, Otani and the monsters were being controlled by the same device.

That’s right. And those Kilaak people were probably afraid that we’d find out about this.

(Grunt) They must be sending radio waves from somewhere. If we can find these waves, we can jam them!

All right, I’ll begin my search for the source of the waves from the sky!

We’ve got something. Check out where it comes from.

Right.

Huh?

The waves are coming from a mountain area.

Huh… I’m busy! I don’t know what kind of a stone it is, but I don’t have any time to take it somewhere to have it examined!

Won’t you help?

Officer!

Huh?

Look up in the sky!

Huh?

Up there, look!

Oh… What is it?

Oh… It’s -uh- Rodan!

Why it can’t be! Here!

What is it!

That looks like the moon rocket, SY-3.

Huh?

Gee!

Heh! Maybe I told you that my young son is on the moon!

Yes, I remember! (Laughing) Is he all right?

Yeah… Huh?

Huh?

What’s wrong?

Uh, we’re checking a wave.

Oh, go right ahead.

Thank you.

Look, he’s using radar!

And now, it has finally been established by the members of the United Nations Science Committee that this object that looks like a stone is being used by the people of the planet Kilaak. They have been manipulating the monsters and throwing the entire world into a state of mass panic. It was found in Dover, in Spain, in steeples of churches. Also, it was found in the Alps in very large chunks of ice. In Guam, it was found inside of a coconut. Now, Dr. Yoshida will give us an explanation.

Uh, this object is a special sending and receiving device that’s limited. And we have estimated its power in terms of kilometers. We can assume the monsters are manipulated by these special machines. And next, in regards to the members captured by the people of Kilaak, we presume that they have all returned to their own countries. With your cooperation, we will find them very soon.

These men are dangerous: Minoru Kudo, age 35. Tetsuo Ise, age 30. Hiro Kada, age 28. Kyoko Manabe, age 23, please watch for this girl. Also, Michael Dawson, age 32. He’s a British subject. Elmer Hughes, age 29.

You’re all right, go ahead.

Uh, excuse me, we have to check you. We’re sorry.

Thank you very much.

Go ahead, please. Thank you.

Uh… all right, go on.

Rodan is now flying over districts seven and eight. Everyone, take shelter at once!

He’s come at last.

Yes.

The people have all taken shelter.

That’s right.

An emergency: Godzilla is now in district one!

What?!

Manda!

Manda’s arrived!

Get ready to attack. Get ready to attack.

Now… ready, fire!

I didn’t think Tokyo would escape this terror. But Rodan, Godzilla and Manda are here at the same time!

That’s correct. New York, London, Moscow… They were all very lucky.

(Grunt)

An emergency! An emergency: Mothra has appeared in district number five!

Oh. The damage is horrible.

Yes, Tokyo is in ruins. There were four of them. The people of Kilaak are now set up in Izu.

Izu?

The hot springs are dried up. Just like what happened in Monsterland.

You think there’s some sort of a connection there?

(Grunt) They’ve also got another monster.

Baragon.

Mm-hmm. While all of the other large cities were being attacked, Tokyo was left alone. You see, they turned our attention away from Japan and built a new base in Izu.

I see. And now I’ll bet that they’re using something new.

Right. That’s why your job is to find out where they are. You’ll go underground with your spaceship, and if you’re lucky, you’ll find them and put an end to these people once and for all.

Well, hello. How are you?

I’m fine, and you?

Hello.

(Gasp) Kyoko Manabe!

You!

Let’s go to another room.

No, I have something I want to say to everyone who’s in this room.

I know what you’ll say. I’ve heard it all before!

You don’t want to hear me, but maybe the others do, especially the newspaper people.

All right, where are you from?

From the base at Izu.

And what is this base?

It’s a base of operations for all the people of Kilaak.

Did you come here to deliver a message to us?

Yes. If all of you agree to let them stay here and will abide by their laws and rules, the monsters will go back and live in peace on Ogasawara Island.

Unless we agree to these terms, the monsters will destroy all of us. Why, this is just like blackmail!

I am talking to the others. You keep quiet!

Come here!

What do you want!?

(Grunt) Don’t move! You’re being controlled by those people!

(Grunt) Keep still!

Doctor!

Well this is what’s controlled her.

Dr. Otani was murdered, and others at Monsterland are being manipulated just like this. Doctor.

We will investigate. We’re short of time.

Kyoko! Kyoko, wake up! Kyoko!

She’s all right. And now, we have to help her out.

(Gasp)

Take it easy!

Listen, you’ve got to help. We have to know where this special Kilaak base is.

Kilaak base?

That’s right. Where is it located in Izu?

I think… I think… (Gasp) That poison gas! (Crying)

Her memory’s a complete blank because of them!

All right.

Everyone is ready now for action.

Ground troops are in position.

All right.

Ready to fire!

Ready to fire.

Now, let’s go!

Right.

Right!

SY-3 on target.

Right!

Look, there’s Godzilla!

(Grunt) Cut rockets!

Emergency!

Emergency!

All right, men.

Ready, fire!

Ready, fire!

Hey, what’s wrong?

They’re jamming us.

Angilas!

Angilas? Why, that…

Stop at once! Stop right now!

Oh, no…

Well, let’s go back.

Why, those…

So they’ve won again… Hey!

Let’s follow!

Right!

It’s headed towards Fuji.

This has something to do with those Kilaaks! Hurry, check out it’s bearing.

Right!

15 degrees.

Look!

Captain, let’s not run away. Let’s fight it.

We’ll do that later on, but right now let’s get out of here! Open all rockets.

Open all rockets.

Open ‘em all the way!

Heh! That’s funny! Rodan was our escort.

But we didn’t find their base.

Well, we have some idea of where it is. If we investigate the area, we’ll find out where the Kilaaks are.

Forward!

Scatter! Scatter! Hurry up!

Come on, let’s go! Quick!

You all right?

I’m all right!

I think this is it.

(Gasp)

(Grunt)

Be careful.

It won’t move.

This is their cave all right. Now, let’s find those people.

Right.

All right. Step back, I’ll shoot!

No good!

Welcome. I’m glad to see you all again. And now, you will finally see our base.

What’s that?

I lured all of you here today because I want to tell you something.

You lured us?

Look over there! Their whole city. [?]

That’s it!

(Grunt)

Yes. What you just saw is the same spaceship that you saw near the moon. So now you’re convinced that we’re from outer space.

That’s right. What do you have on your mind?

Peace terms.

Peace terms?

I want Major Tada to listen with care. The earth does not belong to you people! Fuji’s secret underground area belongs to every man, woman and child in the Kilaak race. And if you fools intrude on us anymore, you’ll die!

What!!

Let’s go.

Right.

Meanwhile, a new control center has been built on Ogasawara Island. Every effort is being used to construct a machine that will bring the monsters under control.

(Gasp) It was the moon! The waves came from there! And now, we will stop them!

We won’t land. We’re not going to stop fighting until we’re rid of those people. Let’s go over the plans again.

Well, I’m ready.

Look at the map.

Right.

You will fly just as planned right on target, very near Cassini Crater and Alpine Valley. Be sure and watch out for UFOs and keep flying low.

Right, we will.

We’ll approach from the left side. Then we’ll pass a mass of vapors. Then by the west slope of the Alpine Ridge. Then we’ll move north towards the swamp and arrive near the crater.

Yes, sir!

It looks like a UFO and it’s coming right behind us!

You see it?

Yes, it means trouble.

What now?

Does anyone want to turn back?

Let’s go on. We’ll win the battle this time.

All right, let’s go. Time is running out for the human race!

Stop jets!

Stop jets.

Ready, everyone? Here we go… Descend!

Descend.

Stop!

Stop.

Ground car ready!

Ground car ready.

(Gasp) [The Kilaaks begin shooting flames at the SY-3.] Fuel off!

Fuel off.

Cooler ready!

Cooler ready.

Time’s running out!

Hurry up!

The temperature’s going up!

What’s wrong!

No good! At this rate the fuel tanks will explode! What now?

It’s too late. To the car, quick!

Right!

Right!

Stop!

Stop.

Get ready to fire!

Be ready to fire.

Fire!!

(Grunt) Sir.

Hmm?

SY-3 is now in combat, and they’re near Mt. Cassini.

All right, let’s get in touch with the moon. I hope they’re winning.

We can’t tell what’s happened yet. We’ll send a report as soon as we know.

This is the moonbase, go ahead.

That’s enough!

Oh…

They fail, then we’ll be attacked. All of this base will be completely destroyed. Stay alert for anything.

Right.

Let’s go.

Now, you three, come on. Follow me.

Right.

The others: wait.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Huh, look! [The Kilaak base “dies”.] (Grunt)

Now, you two: check out that equipment. Destroy all of the important parts.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I’d no idea we’d done this much damage.

(Grunt) Even these kind of people have their weak points. Look!

Oh, there, too!

They’re from Kilaak.

Huh?

Seems they can only exist in a hot climate. We broke down their wall and then the temperature went down.

They’re dead?

Well, I don’t know.

Captain! Captain!

Check them out!

Right.

What is this thing?

I don’t know. Now, we’ll remove it and take it to Earth.

Right.

Moonbase. Moonbase!

No answer?

No, there’s none at all.

No answer and no waves.

Is it a failure then? Are we all doomed?

No good. Now… we’ll have to burn it loose!

Right!

What happened?

Bring the tools.

Right.

Now, open it.

Power.

OK!

Let’s go!

Considering the amount of time that has elapsed since the battle started, I’m afraid the mission is a complete failure.

Now, switch in!

What’s wrong?

No use, the circuit’s burning!

So what! Put the switch in again!

The voltage is too high!

Hurry up and do it! Hear me?

Right.

They did it!

(Over-emphasized sigh)

The waves are gone. Now hurry! We’ll control the monsters from here!

[Group] Right!

Hurry, the Kilaaks on Earth know what we’ve done!

They’re still alive?

Yes, they are alive. But it’ll take a temperature of several thousand degrees to awaken them.

They’re living metal! Right?

That’s right.

This explains why they like the volcanic region of Mt. Fuji.

Their scientific level is far higher than ours, but their number is very small. It must have taken the Kilaaks thousands of years to get to this stage.

That long? That’s amazing!

It is. Under very high temperatures, these people might be able to live forever.

Live forever…

That’s right.

But they are helpless in low temperature.

(Grunt) That settles our means of attack. Do you agree with me, doctor?

I do.

Make the plans.

Right.

(Gasp) What’s happened?

Oh no, Godzilla again!

Hello!

Doctor!

That’s where you are.

Yes.

How are you? I’d like to thank you now.

Doctor, don’t thank me now, because Godzilla’s here!

What? Is that true?

Yes.

Godzilla’s in Tokyo?

Yes!

Now I see… We’ve just finished our new machine and we’re trying it out.

What?

And he’s close by?

But, doctor!

Hmm… the monsters will listen to us. Things are normal. We’ve just worked out a new plan. Wait and see what happens now!

Today the Fuji area will experience something different. In deep silence, the forests seem to be waiting for the monsters’ charge on the Kilaaks’ base of operations here. And the defense force is in position. However, no monsters are in sight. And now, the question is who will be first? Godzilla, Rodan or Angilas? Here they come. And they’re -ah!- to the right, and down a little bit, just beyond those woods over there. Godzilla! No it’s not. The first is the son of Godzilla. And after him, I see Godzilla himself! And next is Mothra. Both Godzilla and Mothra are in the same area. Now we can see Angilas. Angilas is approaching from the left. Coming next are Manda, Baragon, Gorosaurus and Spiga’s there. They’re all coming to the base of Mt. Fuji to attack the people of Kilaak. Now Rodan’s here! We can see him in the background. He’s now heading towards Mothra and Godzilla. We think Godzilla will probably be the first to attack. He seems to be quite ready to fight. The Kilaaks have shown no reaction to what’s going on here today. Godzilla will lead these monsters in mortal combat, and I’m sure they’ll win!

Sir, I’ve just discovered a UFO.

What’s that?

Ghidorah. He’s not from the Earth. They called him.

The control section is out. What now?

Godzilla and the others will unite their strength. Right now!

Right.

What’s happened? The Kilaaks!

Ghidorah is a space monster. The monsters from Earth cannot win. I will get in touch with you when you feel like giving up.

Why that…

It’s Ghidorah! Ghidorah, the space monster. He’s going to attack them from the sky! The monsters are waiting. Oh! Ghidorah is ready to start his attack!

This is horrible! Listen to the monsters and their cries of horror and sudden death!

A burning monster is on its way!

Burning monster? I’ve never heard of one.

It’s from space, and it’s alive!

Doctor, it’s coming closer to us!

Quick, hide!! [“Hurry”?]

Doctor Yoshida’s machine has been destroyed by the Fire Dragon! If you don’t give up, things will get a lot worse for you!

What now? Do we attack?

The great Fire Dragon will burn all of Tokyo within a few hours!

Godzilla!

At last, he’s found the underground base of the Kilaak people!

They’re going to attack them.

The monsters will fight even if there’s no machine!

They know their enemies by natural instinct. Now the Kilaaks must pay!

Go back! Go back!!

We’re saved!

We’re not safe yet. The Fire Dragon will be back soon.

All right, I’ll shoot him out of the sky!

Katsuo!

The Dragon’s ahead of us to the left.

All right, get the cooling missile ready. Fire!

No good, the gear doesn’t work.

What’s that?

A misfire!

[Group] (Shouts and screams)

Now, shoot it down!

Right!

Let it pass and then pursue it. You got me?

Right!

Get ready! Fire!

(Grunt) Now we’ll get him!

[Group] (A lot of silly grunting)

Look! What’s that thing? [The Fire Dragon’s true nature  is revealed.] I see! The dragon was really a saucer!

Everything’s clear! What now? Captain!

All right… fire!!

We did it!!

(Laughing) We’ve won!
