In the real world

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla is released on December 14th in Japanese theatres.

47 years after its first attack, Godzilla returns and attacks Japan. However, the demonic monster is forced to contend with the three Guardian Monsters of Yamato: Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. After dispatching all three of the Guardian Monsters, Godzilla is eventually destroyed when his Atomic Ray fails to discharge and blows up the monster's body. Unfortunately, the creature's heart survives and continues to beat, foreshadowing its possible return. (Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack)
