Notes
- ↑ While the characters S.P would normally be read as esupī (エスピー), the furigana 「シンギュラポイント」 indicates its pronunciation as Shingyura Pointo ("Singular Point"). In the absence of furigana, the title may be written with angle brackets as 「ゴジラS.P<シンギュラポイント>」. The series' official logo capitalizes its English title as "Godzilla Singular point."
- ↑ Episode 1 premiered ahead of their Netflix release at a screening on March 19.
