Synopsis
After a fishing boat is attacked, the sole surviving crew member realizes it is none other than a resurrected Godzilla.

Memorable quotes from The Return of Godzilla
"Chief Editor: The official line of the police and Maritime Security Agency is that the Yahata-maru with Okamura and 10 others on board, is still missing."
"Goro Maki: What are you saying?!"
"Chief Editor: The government is well aware that the monster exists."
"Goro Maki: But why keep it a secret?"
"Chief Editor: The monster is Godzilla, that's why."
"Goro Maki: Godzilla? I knew it..."
"Chief Editor: Suppose Maki, that we print your story. There would be a mass panic on all levels of society. The stock market would collapse. The cabinet would be out of power. For now, just keep it to yourself."
"Goro Maki: What's that you're working on?"
