"is Godzilla your favorite?" "He's a superman!" "Come on, Ken, time for lunch." "Okay." "Darling." "Darling!" "Good afternoon." "Oh, good afternoon." "Got something interesting for my husband?" "Some kind of strange fish that looks very weird to me." "Well, professor, what kind of fish is it?" "It's a tadpole, isn't it?" "It's much too big to be a tadpole." "Anyway, they don't live in the sea." "Oh, yeah." "Where did you catch this?" "Down on the point, where l usually get the shrimp." "I didn't catch a single one today." "With the fish getting worse every day, Suruga Bay is done for." "What in the world is this monster that appeared at the accident site in Suruga Bay?" "Could it be some kind of sea monster or was it some kind of new military weapon?" "Whatever it was it has enough frightful power to destroy two ships." "Oh, that was a monster tadpole." "Papa, it's the same fish the old fisherman brought here today." "I'll be back in 30 minutes." "That'll be 2:00." "Right." "Now, set your watch." "Bye." "Man, it's empty." "Papa!" "The tadpole!" "Papa!" "Papa." "Papa...." "Papa." "Please come back, Papa." "Ouch!" "Papa!" "Papa!" "The monster that attacked you was smaller than the one..." "...that sunk the tanker." "Right." "There isn't just one Hedorah." "They come in different sizes, right, Papa?" "Hedorah?" "That's just a name my son dreamed up for them." "They come from the sludge." "Sludge?" "Professor, is it possible that's the reason?" "Well, maybe. I'm not sure." "It's too early to say." "Excuse us." "Oh, no." "No pictures, please." "Yes, I want pictures taken." "I want people to see this on the television." "They need to realize how big the threat is." "Go ahead." "Hedorah got me too." "Since the first tragedy in Suruga Bay, other tankers have been involved in similar accidents." "The survivors tell us that in each instance, they saw a dark-colored monster." "This could be the work of Hedorah." "Cheerful" "The atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb cast their fallout into the sea." "Poison gases, sludge." "Everyone throws them into the sea." "Even sewage." "Godzilla would really get angry if he saw this." "He would do something." "Class A, second grade, Ken Yano." "Oh, darling, what are you doing up so late?" "I put some muddy water in one of those test tubes." "Stop this." "You should be resting." "This the strangest thing I've ever seen." "This so-called fish is actually a mineral." "It's the same as diamonds and other crystallized carbons." "Papa." "Ken, what are you doing up?" "Don't you know how late it is?" "Papa, Godzilla's coming to save us." "Godzilla?" "He's gonna come and kill Hedorah!" "I saw it happen in my dream." "He'll come, won't he?" "Mama, what do you think?" "If you saw it in your dream, I'm sure he'll come." "Now it's time to go back to bed." "Papa." "I understand now." "This water is just muddy water." "Hedorah comes to life in polluted water, just like you thought." "Cool!" "Look, Mama." "Now, these will join together too." "No wonder it can grow so quickly." "They combine when they meet each other." "So the Hedorah I saw, and the one that sank the tankers grew big this way." "This means they can reach an enormous size." "Bigger than Godzilla?" "Yep as long as we keep feeding the ocean with sludge." "If this thing came up on land, it would be a disaster!" "But would a tadpole be able to come up on land?" "You never know." "This is a new and unusual mutation." "We have to do something before it's too late." "Did you say Hedorah?" "Knock it off!" "Hedorah is a sea monster." "It's Godzilla!" "Let's take a closer look." "Why is Godzilla here?" "If the two monsters start fighting, they'll destroy the entire port." "Thirty-five people are dead and 8 1 have been injured in the fight, on land, between Hedorah and Godzilla." "Three hundred and twenty-two buildings have been lost." "In areas that Hedorah passed through metal objects have been completely corroded as if by some form of acid." "is this terrestrial Hedorah the same monster that sank the tankers?" "Where did Hedorah come from?" "Why was Godzilla here?" "There are still many unanswered questions regarding this strange event." "He doesn't know anything." "Godzilla came to beat Hedorah." "Right, Papa?" "You know everything, don't you, Ken?" "is that your Godzilla impression?" "Brother, are you okay?" "Yeah." "Yukio seems to think you can be of some help." "Well, I might be able to find out what Hedorah really is with the help of Yukio and Miki." "is this where you saw the sparks?" "Yeah, that's right." "Papa." "This is it. lt's burnt." "It's ash from the sparks." "You want me to pick them up?" "All that you can find." "It's exactly like the tadpole." "So it came onto land after it changed like a frog does." "That may be the case but is it possible for a living organism to be made up of minerals?" "You're sure you saw sparks coming from it?" "Yes, without a doubt." "It was very beautiful." "And it didn't eat the cat it captured but inhaled smoke from the smokestacks instead." "That smoke should be toxic to any living animal." "I know." "Hedorah is completely different from all other life on Earth." "The colored, gooey stuff is waste material." "The white, shiny stuff is the crystallized carbon." "It's a mineral called hedrium." "What you see there is the eyeball of the tadpole ground into powder." "I gave it the name hedrium and I think that is the key to the life force of the monster." "If its body is formed by minerals and waste material it wouldn't have a nerve structure as we know it." "It wouldn't be unusual for it to spark if Godzilla breathed fire on it." "If Hedorah lived off of our smoke wouldn't that end our air-pollution problem?" "Don't be ridiculous." "Hedorah is much more dangerous." "Why did all that metal corrode?" "Take another look." "That yellow substance you see there that's sulfur." "The hedrium is probably a catalyst that produces sulfur when it reacts with other substances." "Sulfur is a component of sulfuric acid." "The burns on my face are very similar to burns caused by sulfuric acid." "The small particles in sulfuric acid create a sulfuric mist that corrodes metal." "If Hedorah consumes our smoke and releases a sulfuric mist it wouldn't clean our air." "We'll be enveloped in a poisonous smog." "The appearance of Hedorah, believed to have formed in polluted bays has placed the entire country in a state of terror." "Hedorah appears to avoid daylight but the threat of another landing remains on rainy or foggy days." "Residents within one kilometer of rivers or the ocean should stay on alert." "Especially along industrial coastlines where pollution is a problem" "Forget all this Hedorah talk until you get better." "Fine." "I was just watching the news." "Papa, if Hedorah isn't from this planet, then how did it get here?" "Ken, do you know what a meteor is?" "M 82 Nebula which has exploded" "A shooting star that falls to Earth." "That's right." "Hedorah must have been on a rock that landed on Earth." "I wonder what kind of planet it came from." "It probably came from a sticky, dark planet far, far away." "Now, let's go to sleep." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Careful!" "Be careful!" "I saw Godzilla." "Hedorah must be here too!" "Hedorah wouldn't come on a nice day like this." "Ken!" "He's so hard to keep up with." "Yes." "What?" "Godzilla?" "lt's true!" "Right, go to your mother's school and come home together." "Ken?" "What's wrong?" "Ken!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "One, two, three, four five, six, seven, eight." "Teacher!" "My throat!" "What was it?" "Girls!" "Michiko!" "Quickly, come along, girls." "We must go inside." "Hurry!" "Everyone, help each other." "Gas tanks at the Japan Oil Company have exploded." "Residents in the area, evacuate immediately." "The fire may spread." "Residents, please evacuate immediately." "lt'd be faster to walk." "Now, don't get impatient." "Something wrong?" "I don't know." "What is that?" "!" "Run for it!" "Ouch!" "Anti-Hedorah Oxygen Masks Now on Sale" "The southwestern area of Fuji City has virtually been destroyed." "So far, 1 600 people have been killed while the number of people injured exceeds 30,000." "Hedorah has left a trail of very high levels of sulfuric mist ranging from 2000 ppm to 2800 ppm affecting rescue workers' eyes and throats." "Dead bodies are reportedly piling up in the streets." "It was so frightening when the students started collapsing." "That's no learning environment." "If this continues, there's no telling how bad it will get." "Will Hedorah just get bigger and bigger, Papa?" "If we don't get rid of the pollution, he'll just keep growing." "As it gets bigger it'll absorb more pollutants into itself and it'll be able to go anywhere." "Will it climb Mount Fuji?" "It might." "Ken, do you know what a nuclear explosion is?" "The atomic and hydrogen bombs." "Yes." "Atomic nucleus" "When the atoms of a substance undergo nuclear fission..." "Neutron ...they create different atoms and emit a tremendous amount of energy." "The Nuclear Explosion of an Atom of Silver ln space, there are explosions much bigger than atomic bombs, even bigger than the sun." "Bang!" "That's wild." "Hedorah is probably flying by means of its own nuclear power." "After all, it is a space creature made up of metal components." "There's no telling what kind of destructive power it may develop." "Could it become more powerful than Godzilla?" "It's possible." "But, you see, there's only one Hedorah." "If everyone pulls together, we can defeat it." "Can't we do something?" "The next time the monster lands we must have something ready to destroy it." "It has to have a weakness." "Why don't we dry it?" "It's only sludge." "Hedorah has won after all." "Everything produces waste." "We humans created Hedorah with ours." "Down with Environmental Pollution!" "The March of One Million People" "Sponsored by All-Japan Youth Federation" "A million people on the go." "How about that?" "We'll get all the young people." "Then we'll throw a huge party on top of Mount Fuji before Hedorah gets to it." "1 ." "Aquatic Phase" "When Hedorah first appeared, it looked like a huge tadpole sinking tankers left and right." "This is its aquatic phase." "2." "Terrestrial Phase" "On a foggy night, it transformed into a creature like a four-legged reptile absorbing smoke from smokestacks, growing steadily." "This was its terrestrial stage." "3." "Airborne Phase lt transformed into a saucer-like flier and spread large amounts of sulfuric mist over the city in broad daylight." "This is its airborne phase." "The question now is:" "What terrifying form will the monster take next?" "Professor, what do you think?" "Its growth rate is frightening." "I have no idea what it will do." "Then what is Hedorah's weakness?" "Well, you see Hedorah lives in a world in which no earthly creature can exist." "A negative world of death." "That is to say, it lives in sludge and polluted air." "So it's possible that oxygen might deter its growth." "Give them oxygen/ That'll do it" "Yeah" "Who gave birth to Hedorah?" "Neither the land nor the sea is suitable for life." "What will Hedorah do next?" "Oh, thank you." "One positive electrode and one negative." "Feed the electric current and anything between them dries instantly." "It's been tested in Hokkaido as a way to dry out the fields." "Well, let's try it." "You'll use this to dry out Hedorah?" "That's right." "Good." "We just need to increase the size of the model." "Call the Self-Defense Force." "Orders have been given for the entire Self-Defense Force including the reserve forces, to guard the main industrial cities." "The government issued orders for all factories to cease production and placed restrictions on movement of vehicles." "Over 1 0 million people in Tokyo, Osaka and other large cities are suffering from the effects of the sulfuric mist." "I thought a million people were coming." "There's only 1 00." "Why complain about it?" "Green pastures exist only in our hearts now." "Let's sing." "Let's dance!" "Let's at least use our energy to make a stand!" "All right, let's do it!" "It is 5;40 p.m. This is a special news bulletin." "Hedorah has made a landing and is heading north." "It seems to have grown to a size of at least 60 meters long." "Self-Defense Forces along the coast have fired at Hedorah but the bullets shot straight through it with no effect..." "...as it continues in its destruction." "Toshi!" "Toshi!" "Darling!" "Make a phone call for me." "I can sense it." "Godzilla is here." "That means Hedorah is here too." "Are you sure?" "Good, it's Godzilla!" "He's here!" "Get him, Godzilla!" "Hello, Self-Defense headquarters?" "The electrodes." "Have you finished making the electrodes?" "What?" "You're constructing it in Sakaigawa?" "Hedorah's in the Mount Fuji area?" "Please do your best." "Ken is in danger." "He's not the only one." "Every living thing is in danger." "Toshi, we must go to Mount Fuji." "You're in no condition to travel." "If the electrodes fail there's no way of stopping Hedorah." "The survival of this planet depends on those electrodes." "Look!" "The fire." "Get your torches!" "Drop the oxygen!" "Here we are." "Are you all right?" "Professor, the electrodes are ready." "Good." "We've set up the electrodes one kilometer apart." "They are 40 meters tall and 60 meters wide." "How do you plan on getting Hedorah to come between the electrodes?" "We bait it with artillery and helicopters." "When it's close, we'll use blinking headlights and supersonic waves." "What's the voltage?" "Three million volts." "We're rerouting all the electricity from the Kanto and Chubu areas here." "The power lines are down!" "Repair them immediately!" "Headquarters!" "Temporarily stop current transmission!" "Unit one!" "Unit one, report!" "We've lost contact." "What about unit two?" "lt's on its way, sir." "Hurry!" "It's coming." "The headlights." "Use the headlights." "You've got to get its attention." "But we still don't have power." "If you don't use them, it'll leave here." "Hurry!" "Please do as he says." "Hey, blink the lights!" "Aren't the repairs done yet?" "Almost." "When will you be finished?" "ln about 1 0 more minutes." "How close to us is it now?" "About 1 00 meters." "It's stopped." "Stupid bastard!" "It's coming." "ls it ready yet?" "Another five minutes." "We don't have time!" "You've got one minute." "You've got 30 seconds!" "Okay!" "is it ready?" "Do we have any power?" "Hurry, we need the power now!" "We've got full power now!" "You damn fool!" "It's too late!" "Hey, they're coming right for us." "All right, turn it on!" "Open circuits!" "Now what?" "l think we blew a fuse. lt's no good." "Why can't anything be done right?" "Godzilla!" "Godzilla!" "Godzilla, goodbye!"
