1954

Monarch, overseen by General Douglas MacArthur, is authorized unofficially in order to expand understanding of so-called Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms.


 * In March, the two Shinomura fuse into one and attack Moansta Island. The Moansta Islanders contact Ishiro Serizawa's father, who contacts Monarch and Godzilla battles it and uses his atomic breath on it, splitting Shinomura into two. Godzilla kills one of the halves but the other escapes and Godzilla goes after it. The U.S. army decides to intercept and try to kill them at Bikini Atoll. The Castle Bravo nuclear "test" is conducted, killing the Shinomura. Godzilla, however, survived.
