"Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle" immediately picks up from the first movie, where the world is left at the mercy of the 100,000 ton immortal giant with protagonist Haruo Sakaki imprisoned in a secluded area.
As per the summary posted on the official "Godzilla" website with translation by Crunchyroll, Haruo is rescued by the girl shown in the first movie's post-credit scenes. She is revealed to be Miana, who hails from the mysterious tribe of Futua.
Her tribe happens to be the remaining descendants of humanity left behind on Earth after the initial evacuation and with the help of Mechagodzilla, will fight to the death to end Godzilla Earth's reign once and for all.
On the other hand, "Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle" also sees Galu Gu, the leader of the Bilusaludo, learn that Houtua's spears are sourced from the "nanometal," the same material used to build Mechagodzilla and one that should have been destroyed at the foot of Mount Fuji a long time ago.
Apart from the release of the official poster, it is also revealed that XAI will return to perform the official theme song for the sequel, which is titled "The Sky Falls."
"Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle" will be released on May 18.
