- SDF Adm. Taizô Tachibana: At the end of the last century, a similar monster to Godzilla attacked the United States. The existence of abnormal organisms have since been reported around the world.
- Soldier one: That was Godzilla after all, right?
- Soldier two: The Americans reported it as that. Our academics don't agree.
- [recalling his encounter as a child with Godzilla in 1954]
- SDF Adm. Taizô Tachibana: The long-lasting peace has dimmed the terror of Godzilla. But I vividly remember as if it were today. Fifty years ago. The sky was a bloody red... buildings and railroads trampled... and a huge, dark mass... slowly advancing through the flames. Its face looked like a devil, furious with hate. I ran and ran among the crowd helplessly seeking refuge. When I realised it, I was separated from my parents. I never saw them again. Not a single day goes by where I don't remember the wretched cries of the dying.
- SDF Adm. Taizô Tachibana: I had been very proud, up to this moment, that I had never seen any real combat in my life.
- Captain: You felt that way too?
- SDF Adm. Taizô Tachibana: I think everyone feels that way.
- [Baragon is approaching in the distance]
- Husband: Hey! Look. It's a real monster.
- Wife: It's frightening, but also cute!
- Husband: Take a picture before we run.
- [Yuri is saluting her father who has just defeated Godzilla]
- SDF Adm. Taizô Tachibana: Yuri... stop it. You're embarrassing me. Don't salute me; instead salute my comrades... and the guardian beasts.
- Store Manager: [into bullhorn] : Attention, Godzilla is approaching. Everyone evacuate this store at once.
- Woman Shopper: Godzilla... who cares.
- [Yuri watches an interview she conducted with the old man]
- Prof. Hirotoshi Isayama the Prophet: Godzilla can not be killed with conventional artillery. The prehistoric dinosaur has survived millions of years. Even if atomic bombs gave it extraodinary powers it's still an animal, and can be killed. But no weapons can kill it. Because it is a collection of lingering thoughts.
- Yuri: Lingering thoughts?
- Prof. Hirotoshi Isayama the Prophet: The souls of countless people who fell victim in the Pacific War have congregated in the body of Godzilla.
- Yuri: Souls? In its body?
- Kadokura: Yuri. You believe this old man's story?
- Yuri: I don't think it's just a delusion. Everything said is written in this book.
- Kadokura: Some of my wife's relatives were attacked by Godzilla.
- Yuri: Are you rejecting this after all?
- Kadokura: Godzilla is irrelevant now. But continue on with your investigation.
- Yuri: Why is it trying to destroy Japan?
- Prof. Hirotoshi Isayama the Prophet: Because people have forgotten it completely.
- Yuri: What?
- Prof. Hirotoshi Isayama the Prophet: Forgotten the agony of those killed in the war... Forgotten their cries...
