In Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, Misato Tanaka provides the anchor while Shôsuke Tanihara introduces a contrasting energy. Without revealing later complications, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus opens from this situation: Japan creates an artificial black hole device to trap Godzilla forever, but a test of the device creates new foes for Godzilla, car sized dragonflies called meganula and their queen, Megaguirus.
