. This is the only film in the Millennium Godzilla Series to have a direct sequel to another film in the same series.

Story

The story line of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla is continued, this time with Mothra and Kameba thrown into the mix along with two brand new larvae.

In the film, Mothra's twin fairies warn the Japanese government that using Godzilla bones as the basis for Kiryu (Mechagodzilla's nickname in both films) is wrong and that the taking of the original Godzilla's bones is what brought him back and if they don't return them to the sea, then Mothra would declare war on humanity. They say that if Kiryu's bones are returned however, Mothra will defend Japan. Soon enough, Godzilla comes back. Godzilla and Mothra fight, but Mothra proves to be no match for Godzilla. Kiryu is deplyed to help, and manages to even the odds. However, Godzilla manages to knock out both Kiryu and Mothra. Meanwhile, on Infant Island, a pair of twin Mothra caterpillars hatch from Mothra's egg, and rush to Japan to help their mother. While the human characters rush to repair Mechagodzilla, Mothra's caterpillars try to hold off Godzilla, and in the process Mothra sacrifices herfelf to protect her children, bursting into a Butterfly shaped fireball.

Just in time, the puny humans manage to repair Mechagodzilla, and it faces off against its flesh and blood rival once more. They grapple, and Mechagodzilla lands a powerful hit on Godzilla, stabbing him in the belly with a drill mounted in his right arm. Weakened by the attack, Godzilla roars in agony, and Mothra's caterpillars bind him up in webbing. However, instead of killing Godzilla off for good, Mechagodzilla chooses instead to pick up the battle weary, trussed up Godzilla and carry him off to sea. They plunge into the ocean together, and sink beneath he waves. A temporary solution, as one is left to wonder how Japan will defend themselves once Godzilla regenerates from his wounds and returns to Japan...
