Plot

Godzilla-kun, Minilla, and Little, the Three Godzilla Brothers, introduce themselves to the viewers. Godzilla-kun aims to teach his younger brothers various necessary skills, beginning with their roars, so they can become "cool and awesome monsters." Godzilla-kun first demonstrates a roar, and Little soon follows with his own, lesser cry. When they turn to Minilla, the small monster lets out a weak cough, causing Godzilla-kun and Little to fall to the ground in embarrassment. He tries again, but to much the same effect. Godzilla-kun encourages him to inhale deeper, and he begins to grunt and sway as if to prepare for a third attempt as his brothers look on with excitement, only to let out a small sneeze. This happens a second time, but he instead lets out a fart, causing Godzilla-kun and Little to faint. Minilla apologizes while snickering.

Soon after, the trio approach some mounds of rocks sitting by a small mountain range. Godzilla-kun begins by firing a blast of his atomic breath at the center stack, causing it to explode and crumble. Little is the next to try, sending a small blast at another of the mounds and knocking a single stone off from the top. Minilla, however, can only muster some useless smoke rings. As he prepares for his last attempt, Godzilla-kun stomps on Minilla's tail, causing him to blast smoke rings wildly at the remaining rocks, destroying all of them. They then look into the sky, and notice clouds floating past in the shapes of a banana, grapes, pineapple, strawberry, and melon. Their stomachs grumbling, the group take a break from their training and devour a feast of fruit. As the sun begins to set, the brothers climb atop a mountain and fire their beams into the air, creating fireworks in the night sky. As they marvel at the display, the monsters turn to the viewers and again proclaim themselves the Three Godzilla Brothers.

The episode concludes with a Grandpa Hedo segment:

Young Hedo: “Hey, Grandpa Hedo. I was born from sludge. Does my life have worth?
Grandpa Hedo: “Well... Your life is worth a lot more... than that of those who created sludge.
Young Hedo: “Okie Hedokie!

Trivia

  • Godzilla-kun stepping on Minilla's tail to make him fire stronger smoke rings is a reference to the films Son of Godzilla and All Monsters Attack, in which Godzilla stepping on Minilla's tail causes him to fire a proper atomic breath instead of smoke rings.
