In the first two shorts by Kazuhiro Nakagawa, Godzilla has battled Hedorah and Gigan, destroying most of Tokyo. To save the human race, a robot named Jet Jaguar is sent to stop Godzilla.

I love the fighting style they gave Jet Jaguar here as he uses Superman punches and acrobatic kicks as well as parkour as he jumps and flips over buildings, using his speed to avoid Godzilla’s attacks.

There’s a fantastic scene where Godzilla dodges a punch and we get a point of view shot of Jaguar’s fist entering the building. He looks upset at the destruction that he’s created and loses Godzilla long enough to get hit with Atomic Breath.

Just as Godzilla is about to deliver the fatal blow, he’s blasted by Gravity Beam, which can only come from Ghidorah. The most evil of all kaiju descends from space, destroying the city, wrecking everything as Jet Jaguar helps Godzilla to his feet and in a reprise of their friendship in Godzilla vs. Megalon, released fifty years before this short, they shake hands.

Five year old Sam loved Jet Jaguar and Godzilla teaming up. Fifty two year old Sam feels exactly the same way, even if my body hurts when I jump up and down.

This leaves only one thing: to be continued. I can’t wait to watch Godzilla Fest 5: Battle of the Monsters.
