Scientists are forced to build a giant killer robot from the first Godzilla's bones. Four years later, the cyborg, called Kiryu, is finished and inducted into the Japan Self-Defense Forces along with its human pilots as the Kiryu Squadron. Lieutenant is congratulated by her captain as the new "Kiryu" (main pilot). Released to the pres, Kiryu, or Mechagodzilla, most powerful attack is reviled. Everyone is shocked as the Absolute Zero Cannon is tested on a building. The building is surrounded by a block of ice. As Mechagodzilla hits its tail on the ground, the building is obliterated. At the same time, Godzilla shows up once again, even though the JXSDF seemed to finally defeat him. Kiryu is released at the same place of Godzilla. In the midst of the first battle, Kiryu's soul is awoken by Godzilla's roar and brings with it the memories of his death years ago. This action makes Kiryu extremely angry and he proceeds to destroy the city around him. Horrified, the Kiryu Squadron can only watch in terror and alarm as the rampaging cyborg destroys more city property than Godzilla did. It takes 1 hour for Kiryu's energy source to run out. Kiryu is brought back to headquarters for further work. Meanwhile, Kiryu's main pilot, Lieutenant Akane Yashiro, tries to settle matters involving second lieutenant Susumu Hayama, scientist Tokumitsu Yuhara and his distressed daughter, Sara. Later, Godzilla attacks again. Afterwards, a nearby hospital is evacuated. A nurse quickly realizes a baby girl is still in it. Godzilla then creeps up on the hospital and charges for an atomic beam. Just then Kiryu is released from the air, and hits Godzilla with immense speed, saving the nurse and the baby. After hours of fighting, Godzilla is near death but still walks away, with a huge gash in his chest. Mechagodzilla is 37% destroyed, missing his left arm, and the Absolute Zero cannon destroyed.
