ATTACK OF THE KAIJU DAY: Fest Godzilla II: Shinjuku in Flames (2025)

First shown at Godzilla Fest 2025 on November 3, 2025, Fest Godzilla II: Shinjuku Burning is a short directed and written by Kazuhiro Nakagawa, funded by Toho and produced by Episcope. It’s a reboot of the annual Fest Godzilla series and the sixth entry overall. Unlike those movies, which use the FinalGoji design, this uses the MireGoji design for Godzilla (according to WikiZilla, it’s a “2015 promotional suit based on the Godzilla from Godzilla 2000: Millennium“).

It starts with two JSDF soldiers in a Tokyo subway talking about how Godzilla’s temperature is rising, but soon the foot of the kaiju crashes down as the kaiju battles defense forces with its atomic breath. As he destroys helicopters, his skin begins to turn orange, a sign of Burning Godzilla. A soldier stares at him just as another monster appears.

Made in a single continuous shot, it’s exciting to see a new Godzilla, even if this is short.

You can watch this on YouTube.
