History
Showa era
Godzilla vs. Hedorah
As it became clear that Godzilla was losing the battle against Hedorah in the countryside and was close to being killed by the alien menace, the J.S.D.F. decided to launch a last-ditch attempt at fighting the monster themselves. The two massive electrodes were set at either end of the field where the Template:Kaiju were fighting each other, and power was applied to them. Godzilla, realising that this was his best chance at defeating his opponent, grabbed Hedorah and managed to pull him towards the electrodes, but the devices shorted out; the numerous power lines providing electricity to the two devices had been damaged during the battle. In an act of quick-thinking, Godzilla recharged the electrode by firing his Atomic Breath at them, repairing them as well. Hedorah, now severely dehydrated from the electrode's relentless charges, tried to flee in his flight form, but Godzilla famously flew off after him, and brought him down to the ground, once again pulling him towards the electrode. After a few more minutes of Godzilla using his Atomic Breath to dry out Hedorah in conjunction with the electrodes, the King of the Monsters was finally victorious.
Weapons
- The Giant Electrode can discharge a massive amount of electricity. However, it requires a large amount of power in order to do so.
