Trivia

  • This novel mentions that Battra awoke in order to intercept the asteroid Gorath before it could strike the Earth. This is a reference to both Godzilla vs. Mothra, where Battra's purpose was to prevent a meteor from striking and destroying the planet, and the film Gorath, which featured a runaway celestial body named Gorath on a collision course with the Earth.
    • Godzilla destroys Gorath with his atomic breath, just as he did in Godzilla: Final Wars. It is also suggested that Gorath may be contain a space monster, while in Godzilla: Final Wars it served as the vessel for Monster X.
  • The coalition of people who want humanity to co-exist with Mothra is named the Cosmos, which was the name given to Mothra's twin priestesses in the Heisei series.
  • It is mentioned that only the combined forces of Mothra and Battra could truly defeat Godzilla, which is why Mothra could only make him retreat by herself. This is a nod to the film Godzilla vs. Mothra, where Mothra and Battra were able to defeat Godzilla by working together.
  • This novel features a battle between King Caesar and Megalon, which may be a reference to issue #10 of the IDW comic series Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, which also featured a battle between the two monsters.
  • The codename given to the military operation to pit monsters against each other is "Operation: LTF," an acronym for "Let them fight," Ishiro Serizawa's famous line from Legendary Pictures' Godzilla.
  • This novel discusses the potential origins of Orga, who attacked Turkey during the events of GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse, and suggests he was either an extraterrestrial lifeform that fell dormant after arriving on Earth in prehistoric times or an approximate species to Godzilla or monster derived from Godzilla. Both proposed origins reflect Orga's origins from Godzilla 2000: Millennium, where he was the result of aliens that crash-landed on Earth and fell dormant in prehistoric times mutating after absorbing Godzilla's DNA.
