GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA (GOJIRA TAI MEKAGOJIRA) Blu-Ray Version By SHOWA VIDEO Hey! What's wrong?! Hang in there! Hey! Nami! Nami! Nami! Oh... Grandfather! A monster! A giant monster will destroy the city and burn all of the people running away! What? A monster! So, the old man and the girl are descendants of the royal family of Azumi? You're pretty smart, brother! You'd think so, brother. I've been working on the marine exhibit here so long that I feel like I'm an Okinawan. Even so, her prediction was pretty scary. This is the entrance to the cave. I'd go inside with you, but I have work to do. I understand. Thank you! See you! Ah, Shimizu! Shimizu! We've been waiting for you! What's the matter? We've discovered the entrance to a cave. A cave? This is it. We have the right to see what's inside! Just a moment! Reporters are not allowed into the restricted area! Hey, you! No reporters are allowed in the area! You can't go in! A reporter? What is so funny? I'm the archaeological investigator from the Shuri University. I'm Saeko Kanagusuku. You? This is great! This mural was painted by the ancient Okinawans. Are you sure? Yes. This is a mountain floating in the sky. This is the sun... But it's strange how they have two of them here. I'm not sure about this. This is the coming of their monster. Look, what kind of prophecy could this be? A prophecy? Perhaps it's this... This thing looks like it... But what is it? Of course! It's the guardian of the Azumi family, King Seesar. King Seesar? It's the one treasure of the Azumi royal family. It is handed down by tradition. Anyway, a legend states that the people of the mainland tried to conquer the Okinawan people. A brown monster came forth and began rescuing the royal family and their subjects. The monster's name was King Seesar. When the time... black mountains... ...appear in the sky... Oh, Shimizu! Hello! Are you going to Tokyo as well? Yes, I'm going there for a while. And you? I am, with this... I've deciphered some of the wall paintings. But I can't understand the mystery of this statue. I'm going to see Dr. Wakura at Tokyo University about this. Dr. Wakura? Really? That doctor is a world renowned archaeologist, huh? You know him? And you are? I'm a freelance reporter... No, I'm a scandal hunter. No, I'm really interested in that statue you have there. If I could get the scoop on that, I would be very well off. Well, nice meeting you. It's incredible! What's happening? Those clouds look like a black mountain. When the black mountain rises over the clouds... ...a great monster will come forth to destroy the world. It's what I've learned from the mural. The mural? The prophecy continues... "But when the red moon sets and the sun rises in the west... two monsters will join forces to save the people." A monster! A giant monster will destroy the city and burn all of the people running away! Thank you for accompanying me from the airport. Here. Hey, I'll be alright here. Just a moment! Hello. Welcome back home. Hello. I brought you a guest. Oh, you're mean! How was I to know that Dr. Wakura was your uncle? I'm sorry, but I wanted to see your reaction. Well... aren't you a jerk! Uncle, where is Masahiko? It seems he found a strange piece of metal in the caves. He took it to Professor Miyajima's laboratory. This material can only be... ...some kind of space-titanium. Space-titanium? You mean this metal is from space? An earthquake! It's been like this for the last ten days. Right, father? The earthquakes continue to be in the news. A slight tremor of the second magnitude was felt in Cape Namura, in Hokkaido. The quake's center moved south to Wotsuhoku and is continuing to move in a southward direction. The cause of the epicenter's movement is still unknown. Some think that a monster is burrowing underground... Next. These murals are very strange... But they seem vaguely familiar. Doctor, perhaps you should get some sleep. No, I'm okay. Hey, could you get me some coffee? Sure! Make it strong. Right! Give the statue to me now! Doctor! Get out of here! Right! Shimizu! Are you alright? Professor! It's Godzilla! "When the black mountain rises over the clouds... ...a great monster will come forth to destroy the world." The ancient prophecy is coming true. Yes, but who would have guessed that the monster would be Godzilla? Uncle, I have to go. Where are you going? To Mount Fuji. I'm worried about Professor Miyajima and my brother. It's dangerous! That area is a battlefield! I know... But I'll find a way to get there! Nami! What's wrong, grandfather? A monster! The prophecy that you foretold is coming true at last! The only one who can defeat Godzilla is our own King Seesar! But in order to release him, we must find the one who holds the key! Godzilla! Punish those who once sought to conquer the people of the Azumi royal family! Go... Godzilla! That's strange... What would cause Angilas to attack Godzilla? What a mess... There's no mistake. This is the same metal that Masahiko found in the caves. This is space-titanium. Of course... It looks like the same metal. Masahiko. Yes? Would you mind taking me to the cave where you found this sometime? Sure. Now, we're going to get a closer look at Godzilla. Would you like to go? That's fine. I'll go as soon as your ready. This is an unusual pipe. I made it myself. The bowl's metal contains Astrenocon. ...magnetic waves develop, capable of destroying positive and negative electrodes. Come here. Okay? Watch how this unit reacts. That's an incredible pipe! There are two Godzilla's? What's going on here? I didn't expect the real Godzilla to appear so soon. The earth people must be shocked. Now I understand... The Godzilla we saw at Mount Fuji was only a cyborg. A cyborg? It's whole body must be made of metal. You could call it a kind of Mechagodzilla. That's it! Angilas must have called for Godzilla! Godzilla... You're mistaken if you think Mechagodzilla is the same type of life form as you. Alright! Commander! Mechgodzilla's head controls are out of order! We cannot continue the attack! Oh well... We'll have to postpone our operation in Tokyo. Bring Mechagodzilla back to the base for repairs. Masahiko! Yes, sir! We're flying to Okinawa first thing tomorrow morning. I'm sure that Mechagodzilla is being controlled remotely by an alien race. The space-titanium is the proof. I'm sure we'll find the key to the whole thing in the caves. Commander, the repairs will take some time. Commander! If we lose too much time, headquarters will discover our mistake! Don't worry... We'll capture an earth scientist who understands our space technology. I have it! Look at this. These tattoos are a form of hieroglyphs from the ancient Azumi family. Used thousands of years ago, they pointed the way to their weapon. They will tell us where King Seesar is sleeping. What does it say? "When the sun rises in the west... ...place this statue on the sacred shrine, above the gate of Azumi Castle." The sacred shrine of Azumi Castle? That's... "When the red moon sets and the sun rises in the west... ...two monsters will join forces to save the world." That's the prophecy on the mural. Right. The sun rising in the west... That's impossible... What could it mean? Tell our agent... ...to steal the statue of King Seesar as soon as possible. Now that they've solved the puzzle of the statue, they can wake the monster at any time. We'll be in trouble if King Seesar brings other monsters to life. The aliens will never guess that we're taking the Queen Coral to Okinawa. They won't expect us on the sea. We've fooled them this time. Incredible, huh? Which direction? It's that way. lko, careful where you step. Right. I've been waiting for this moment, Professor Miyajima. Who are you? We are the spacemen from the Third Planet of the Black Hole in outer space. Then you really are aliens. I admire your deductive reasoning. Our Mechagodzilla is the weapon we'll use to conquer earth... ...but the controls in its head have gone out of order. Unless we repair it quickly, our schedule of conquest will be delayed. Therefore.. . We hoped we could employ the expertise... ...that won you a Nobel Prize. I refuse! But Professor... Mechagodzilla was developed by our scientists after studying the earth's greatest enemy... ...Godzilla and turned it into a great cyborg. I think you'll agree that it is an interesting invention. What are you doing?! Stay where you are, please! Father! Ikuko! Father! Professor! Father! Where are you taking them?! Where?! To their execution. Of course... You still have a chance to save them. I wonder how Professor Miyajima is doing. I hope they find some clues to the mystery. Is something wrong? No, but I think someone is watching us. Reay? What's wrong? I thought I heard Godzilla's roar... I don't hear anything. You're right... But I'm sure that I heard something. Tell me why you took the statue! Talk! Keisuke! The statue... The statue was stolen! I chased after the thief, but he fell into the sea. Did he fall with the statue? I'm not sure why he fell. Why? It seemed like someone shot him. Blood! Hey! Tonight's a fine time for romance. Here. Thank you very much. You said it was important, so I locked it in the safe. Sorry to trouble you. You're welcome. How was your trip? Wonderful. I'm glad to hear it. Enjoy your stay in Okinawa. You made a fool of me! I didn't know you set a trap for him! What you didn't know, he didn't know. Masahiko Shimizu hasn't returned here for several days now. Hasn't returned? - Yes. What about Professor Miyajima and his daughter? Yes... He told me that he wouldn't be returning for a few days. That was the last time that I saw him. Really. . .? Have you finished the repairs? Thanks for your help. Please come down here. Mechagodzilla will begin operations at 6 AM. A toast to Mechagodzilla's return and success. Keep your promise! Release my daughter and Masahiko! Oh, is that it...? Well, I'll release them right away. Come with me. Professor! Father! Ikuko! Masahiko! Please enjoy your final night together... Professor, we were worried! I'm glad you two are okay. Come on, father... Father! - Professor! Are you okay? Damn! They planned to kill us off! This is Professor Miyajima's! Stay right there! Who are you? Are you an alien? Where is my brother and Professor Miyajima? Tell me! We've killed them. Anyway, you're going to join them. Who are you? I am with Interpol. My name is Nanbara. International police? Yes... We've been trailing this group trying to find out what kind of threat they posed. We threw out a net to catch them... ...and then you were caught in it as well. I decided to follow you instead. Get up... You're going to take us to the entrance of your base. Too hot... I can't stand it! lko, don't give up! lko, hold on. Get moving. Who is it? Kentaurus! Right! Turn this off! Masahiko! Masahiko! Masahiko! Are you alright? Shimizu! You're safe now! - Let's hurry! Let's get out of here! You're finished! Raise you hands... Raise them! Get back! Well, hurry! Hurry! Let's go! This way! Professor! Just a little further. My car is parked outside. What a bunch of fools... Wait! That makes three times you've saved my life. Three times? You saved me on the boat, didn't you? Oh! Did you notice the color of the moon? A red moon... "When the red moon sets..." The prophecies are coming true one at a time. Shimizu... I'm going back in there to take care of those bastards. You go to Azumi castle. Right! Please let me go with him. Brother, is it alright? Yes, go ahead. I'm going too. In order to save my daughter, I had to give them my cooperation. I made a deal with the devil. But you didn't have any choice. You can't be... No. I fixed the controls in Mechagodzilla's head. I'm the only one who knows how to destroy it. Don't you see, Shimizu? I understand. Professor, please hold on to this for me. I don't know what you'd do without it. It's a good thing you found this. Thank you. How are they? Ask me later. Let's go to the castle! Who is it? Kentaurus. Hurry! There? - Yes. Give us the statue! Damn! It's all your fault! You brought this trouble on us! If you hadn't touched the statue, we'd not be suffering like we are now! Shut up! Grandfather! Hurry and give us the statue! Saeko... Give it to them. Interpol agent, Tamura. Then, you're Nanbara's... Yes, we're partners. Is that a fact...? It's almost six o'clock! Look! The sun! The sun is rising in the west! That's it! The sun rising in the west... It's a mirage! King Seesar... Commander, King Seesar has been released! So, they managed to use the statue... Alright, we'll begin by defeating King Seesar. Begin Mechagodzilla's attack! We're too late! Not yet... We can stop him by destroying the control room! Right! Let's go! Mechagodzilla. . . Destroy King Seesar while he's still asleep! Hey, you! It's dangerous! Where are you going?! It's alright... King Seesar can only be awakened... ...by a descendant of the Azumi royal family and no one else. Mechagodzilla! Hurry and crush him! I'm surprised you're still alive, Professor. But you shouldn't underestimate us, either. Let's go! Right! Please watch while Mechagodzilla wins. Professor. . . I would like to thank you again for your cooperation. Godzilla is still alive! The other monster the ancient prophecy said would appear... It must be Godzilla! Godzilla is still alive? We'll have to teach it another lesson. Mechagodzilla! Destroy both of the monsters! This is its end! What's wrong? Mechagodzilla! So... Godzilla has managed to turn himself into an electro-magnet. Fire his foot rockets, now! Hey, listen... Throw my pipe at both ends of the control panel. Get out! I don't believe it... Mechagodzilla, our greatest weapon, has been defeated. It's too dangerous! Let's get out of here! Just a moment, please! Father. . .? He's alright... I'm sure of it... Professor Miyajima is still alive. Finally, the ancestors of the Azumi royal family can now rest in peace.
