Chibi Godzilla Raids Again
"The Roaring Dragon, Chibi Anguirus"
While Chibi Godzilla was teaching Chibi Mechagodzilla about hunting on Monster Island, Chibi Mechagodzilla ended up caught in a bear trap that the former had set. Chibi Mechagodzilla suddenly heard the loud frightening roars of an approaching kaiju and was scared out of his wits until seeing that they belonged to small monster. Chibi Godzilla introduced the monster as Chibi Anguirus, explaining that his voice change has left him only able to communicate in roars incomprehensible to the chibi monsters. Chibi Mechagodzilla asked how they could even communicate while Chibi Godzilla explained he mostly just guesstimates, with his flimsy attempts at translation frustrating Chibi Mechagodzilla. Chibi Godzilla then had the idea of having the Shobijin use their telepathy to translate, but their attempts proved to be just as inaccurate as Chibi Godzilla's. After Chibi Anguirus repeatedly denied the supposed translations of the Shobijin and Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mechagodzilla theorized that Chibi Anguirus had come to free him from the trap, only for Chibi Anguirus to once more reject the suggestion.
"All Chibi Monsters Attack"
Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Ghidorah, and Chibi Anguirus destroyed a model city in Chibi Mechagodzilla's cabin, much to the robot's dismay. Chibi Ghidorah and Chibi Anguirus both apologized for their actions, pacifying Chibi Mechagodzilla, who forgave them. Chibi Godzilla then got Chibi Mechagodzilla to leave by telling him they would clean up the mess, though this proved to be another ruse as he planned to wreck even more of the city and proceeded to tempt the other monsters with more destruction. Before they could initiate their second assault, however, the enraged Chibi Mechagodzilla caught them and blasted the trio with his eye beams before ordering them to fix what they could.
"An All-Chibi Monster Chorus"
Chibi Anguirus joined several others on a trip to Chibi Biollante's bar, where Chibi Biollante informed Chibi Mechagodzilla that the establishment offered karaoke. Chibi Anguirus attempted to sing "Grandfather's Clock", but could only sing through roars. Eventually, Chibi Biollante recommended that they all sing a song together, with Chibi Godzilla selecting "Godzilla's Theme". Because the song had no lyrics, the group could only hum along, much to Chibi Mechagodzilla's annoyance. However, the group ultimately earned a perfect score on the karaoke machine's scoring system.
"Smartphones Are Handy"
Chibi Anguirus waited alongside Chibi Mechagodzilla, Chibi Mothra, and Chibi Rodan for Chibi Godzilla to arrive so that he could show them something. After Chibi Godzilla realized that the others couldn't hear him when he spoke to himself, Chibi Mechagodzilla gave smartphones to everyone present, including Chibi Anguirus, so they could communicate more easily. Chibi Anguirus later joined the others in announcing "Plan Smartphone" in lieu of actually doing anything they had previously planned, much to Chibi Mechagodzilla's confusion. Chibi Anguirus participated in the group chat the next day, announcing that he was running late and making fun of Chibi Mechagodzilla using the Japanese online slang "www".
"Dear Dad"
Chibi Anguirus, Chibi Mechagodzilla and Chibi Mothra listened to Chibi Godzilla as he told them about his struggles in writing a father's day card to his dad, Godzilla himself. Chibi Anguirus was unresponsive to his first attempt at writing a letter which consisted entirely of him thanking his dad for giving him multiple ways to say father, but roared a "tearful roar" at his second attempt in which he admitted he had no clue what his dad was saying to him in their conversations. Chibi Anguirus was unresponsive to his third successful attempt which Godzilla heard and threw a fish to Chibi Godzilla as a way of telling him to grow big and strong.
"Mr. Hedo's Lecture"
Chibi Anguirus joined Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mechagodzilla, Chibi Ghidorah, and Chibi Mothra for another lesson in growing up to become giant monsters, responding enthusiastically to Chibi Godzilla's words until it was revealed their teacher for the day would be Chibi Hedorah, who was infamous for long and boring lessons. Chibi Anguirus listened in boredom as Chibi Hedorah taught them about various mistakes humans have made, listing insignificant examples such as ordering unlimited drinks but only being able to finish one due to being too full up. After two hours of the lesson, Chibi Anguirus was still listening in incredible boredom but eventually collapsed alongside Chibi Mothra and Chibi Ghidorah, roaring a "roar of unbearable ennui" as he did so. Chibi Anguirus remained in this state even as Chibi Hedorah continued to speak.
"Find Nessie"
While preparing to search a lake on Monster Island to find Nessie, Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mechagodzilla, Chibi Ghidorah, Chibi Mothra and Chibi Rodan heard mysterious roaring. Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Ghidorah wondered if it was Nessie roaring but quickly realized it was actually just Chibi Anguirus. The group were disappointed by this and Chibi Anguirus left as soon as he appeared.
"First Date Butterflies"
While Chibi Mechagodzilla and Chibi Mothra were touring Chibi Mothra's favorite spots together, they arrived at Chibi Gabara's restaurant only to find a state of complete chaos. Chibi Anguirus was arguing with Chibi Rodan as he divebombed into his seat while Chibi Godzilla waited for his food and Chibi Gabara was doing nothing helpful as usual. Chibi Anguirus remained angry and ignored the conversation around him in which Chibi Godzilla brought up an alleged duel between Chibi Mechagodzilla and Chibi Mothra. Chibi Anguirus continued to ignore this as the two of them left the restaurant to the next place on their tour.
"Chibi Anguirus' True Feelings"
Chibi Anguirus stared down at the meal Chibi Godzilla had ordered for him in complete disgust: a fried remote control and medium spicy pudding. Chibi Mechagodzilla commented that he looked angry and asked Chibi Godzilla if that was really what he wanted, which Chibi Godzilla confirmed despite Chibi Mechagodzilla being skeptical due to Chibi Anguirus' obvious anger. As Chibi Mechagodzilla continued to question this, Chibi Godzilla claimed he and Chibi Anguirus were soul-bonded and could understand him with little difficulty. Chibi Anguirus roared in disagreement which Chibi Godzilla somehow managed to translate as Chibi Anguirus wanted to eat the Chewing Gum Bowl, further angering Chibi Anguirus.
While at his home, Chibi Mechagodzilla checked his social media out of boredom and saw a post from Chibi Anguirus complaining about Chibi Godzilla's taste despite claiming he doesn't care though he did admit he enjoyed the Chewing Gum Bowl, with Chibi Mechagodzilla questioning how it was even edible. Chibi Anguirus then responded to a post from Chibi Godzilla saying he realized he wanted an extra spicy pudding instead by calling him absolutely useless and apparently blocking him. Chibi Rodan then made a post in which he claimed to have stopped a "hooligan" chatting up a "shop girl" by annoying the hooligan away, with Chibi Anguirus dismissing this as a lie and calling Chibi Rodan "a try-hard drama-bird", making Chibi Mechagodzilla comment on him coming off aggressive online. Chibi Godzilla then made a post in which he commented that tone and nuance can get lost online and so it is better to talk in person, inviting Chibi Anguirus to eat with him at the restaurant. Chibi Mechagodzilla agreed with this sentiment, though noted Chibi Anguirus, who is incapable of speech, to be an exception. Chibi Mechagodzilla contemplated if he should speak to Chibi Godzilla.
Later in the day, having decided not to bother trying to talk sense into Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mechagodzilla checked his social media. He saw a post from Chibi Anguirus talking about how they ate random garbage once again and how it was admittedly quite fun, with Chibi Mechagodzilla relieved they were able to get along. He then saw a post from Chibi Anguirus questioning Chibi Godzilla's interest in deep-fried remotes, with Chibi Mechagodzilla commenting that now they were "speaking the same language".
"Weekly Shonen Gawdzilla"
Standing on the beach, Chibi Anguirus read the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Gawdzilla that had washed ashore with Chibi Ghidorah and Chibi Rodan, and roared in happiness. He continued reading as Chibi Rodan and Chibi Ghidorah described some of the stories serialized in the magazine to Chibi Godzilla.
Chibi Anguirus came to the beach again with the other three a week later to read the next issue. When Chibi Rodan found it, Chibi Anguirus read it with him and Chibi Ghidorah as Chibi Godzilla demanded to read it. Upon finishing, Chibi Anguirus passed the issue to him with a roar of contentment just as Chibi JJ arrived and confiscated it on the basis that it was a lost item and so should be turned into the station.
Six days later, Chibi Anguirus turned up at the beach along with Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Ghidorah in anticipation of the next issue as Chibi JJ also appeared, seemingly searching for lost items that needed confiscating, though he was actually also obsessed with reading Weekly Shonen Gawdzilla. Chibi Rodan appeared with the next issue and revealed it washed up a day earlier on the other side of the island. Chibi Anguirus could only watch as Chibi Godzilla burnt the issue to a crisp in anger as he realized one of the series, Samurai Bun, had been canceled.
"Chibi Anguirus' Changing Voice"
Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Mechagodzilla ran into Chibi Anguirus, who roared in happiness while holding a rock. Chibi Anguirus roared in response to Chibi Mechagodzilla asking about the rock and Chibi Mechagodzilla wished he could understand what he was saying, asking if he could explain via phone but was annoyed when Chibi Anguirus used the phone to write "dummy". Chibi Godzilla suddenly recognized the rock Chibi Anguirus was holding and commented on its nostalgic qualities, with Chibi Mechagodzilla asking if said memories were from before Chibi Anguirus's voice changed. Chibi Anguirus used the phone to sarcastically ask if it was a voice change if he sounded like that from the start, Chibi Mechagodzilla admitting this was a good point, and Chibi Godzilla initiated a flashback in which he and Chibi Anguirus talked in the mountains until Chibi Rodan appeared and spoke to them about a legendary rock supposedly nearby. Chibi Rodan proclaimed it a jewel among stones much like him but fell headfirst to the ground when Chibi Anguirus responded he did have a face like a rock, with Chibi Mechagodzilla commenting he hadn't changed much as the flashback ended.
Back in the present, the three continued to talk about the rock as Chibi Godzilla initiated another flashback of him and Chibi Anguirus sumo wrestling as Chibi Anguirus proved himself stronger and proclaimed himself the best as sumo wrestling as he then decided the next mission was to find the legendary rock. Chibi Mechagodzilla was shocked by how different Chibi Anguirus's voice sounded in this flashback despite it only being a day after the first flashback. Chibi Mechagodzilla began to become suspicious as Chibi Godzilla started another flashback in which Chibi Anguirus sold roast sweet potatoes and explained to Chibi Godzilla that stones were crucial in the process, with Chibi Anguirus once again having a completely different voice. Back in the present, Chibi Godzilla explained that the rock Chibi Anguirus was holding was the one involved in all three flashbacks and was used for roasting sweet potatoes, confusing Chibi Mechagodzilla as to what was legendary about that though Chibi Godzilla explained the legendary rock was made up. Chibi Mechagodzilla continued to doubt the flashbacks until he was shocked by Chibi Anguirus using his phone to explain that the sumo flashback was the genuine one.
"Monster Island Marathon"
Chibi Anguirus was one of the monsters taking part in the Monster Island Marathon alongside Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Rodan and Chibi Ghidorah though he and the latter two were easily able to outpace Chibi Godzilla due to him having accidently turned into his much slower second form and not returned to his usual self in time for the race. Chibi Anguirus was the only racer not present when Chibi Godzilla finally got over the finish line hours later.
"Guess the Twin"
While trying to learn how to tell the two Shobijin twins apart, Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Mechagodzilla watched to see if the one currently in the café would eat the strawberry on her shortcake at the beginning or end of the meal. However, while the twin was busy taking selfies, Chibi Anguirus forked the strawberry and claimed it for himself, annoying Chibi Mechagodzilla.
"Monster Island's Year-End Party"
When a large group of chibi monsters gathered at Chibi Biollante's bar to share memories at the year-end party, Chibi Anguirus was mentioned by Chibi Titano when he mentioned that he had been continuing to do rap battles but Chibi Anguirus was too good, surprising Chibi Mechagodzilla.
"Chibi Rodan Has a Hard Head"
Chibi Anguirus slept as Chibi Rodan told Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mechagodzilla, Chibi Ghidorah and Chibi Mothra about recent reduced pain from falling headfirst. The group decided to test out how tough his head really was and one of the tests used involved Chibi Rodan falling onto the sleeping Chibi Anguirus's spiked carapace and subsequently feeling no pain, with Chibi Mechagodzilla also being surprised at how Chibi Anguirus was still sleeping after this. Chibi Anguirus remained asleep throughout the rest of the episode, even when a rockslide occurred right next to him.

Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla
When feeling lonely, Chibi Godzilla set out to look for friends, encountering Chibi Anguirus along with Chibi Mothra, Chibi Rodan, and Chibi Ghidorah. Chibi Godzilla remarked that Chibi Anguirus was covered in "cool" spikes. When the other monsters asked what Chibi Godzilla could do, he responded saying he could breathe fire and exhaled a blast of fire at them, prompting them to flee. While running after them, Chibi Godzilla's fire breath caused fruit to fall out of a nearby tree. He asked the other monsters to share the fruit with him, and they all ate until they were full. Chibi Godzilla was no longer lonely as he befriended the other monsters.

Roar
In Chibi Godzilla Raids Again, due to hitting puberty, Chibi Anguirus roars instead of speaking like the other monsters. He uses the same roars as Anguirus from Godzilla Raids Again, which were created using a saxophone.[1]
