It is then decided to wake up Godzilla using some copper wire Dayo found in the Red Bamboo base and an Infant Islander's sword as a channel. When Godzilla wakes up, one of the other protagonists named Ryota, and his brother Yata return to Letchi Island to aide the captive Infant Islanders. Shortly after Godzilla is spotted near the Red Bamboo base, they activate a nuclear bomb to destroy Godzilla.
