Since that fateful day, humanity has been relentlessly pummeled, forced to endure near-constant, earth-shattering monster attacks. While the stoic people of Japan have tragically learned to treat these colossal threats like inevitable natural disasters, understanding that any futile attempts to directly combat Godzilla only amplify the danger, the American G-Force refuses to yield!
