Plot

While flying in the sky, Chibi Rodan introduces the premise of the episode to an unimpressed Chibi Mothra, who simply wishes to go home. Chibi Rodan annoys her by replying that the only home to go to is the sky and begins to list positives of flying, such as not stepping in dog poo and not getting stiff shoulders. Neither point impresses Chibi Mothra, though Chibi Rodan points out that flying monsters like them live very different lives to those who can only live on the ground. Just after he invokes Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Mechagodzilla, both of them suddenly appear, Chibi Godzilla riding on Chibi Mechagodzilla's back and the robot flying with propulsion jets in his feet. Shocked at this, Chibi Rodan falls out of the sky, forcing Chibi Mechagodzilla to revive him with compliments before he can hit the ground. Chibi Rodan flies back up and begins to insult Chibi Mechagodzilla, calling his method of flying inelegant and saying that he might consider flying with one's atomic breath comparable to actual flying - which Chibi Godzilla proceeds to do, causing Chibi Rodan to fall out of the sky once again.

Chibi Mechagodzilla asks Chibi Godzilla to help revive Chibi Rodan, but discovers he's incapable of talking while flying. This revives Chibi Rodan, who proceeds to gloat about his method of flying being better than that of the other monsters present and compare Chibi Godzilla's flight to floating. Chibi Rodan realizes that this must be the first time Chibi Mechagodzilla has ever flown and recommends that he admire Monster Island from above, though the others have already left. Now on the ground, Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mechagodzilla, and Chibi Mothra discuss the positives of staying on the ground, such as Chibi Godzilla being able to properly talk, and he announces that staying on ground to be superior to flying. Chibi Rodan hears this and falls out of the sky yet again, landing headfirst into the ground and almost burying himself completely. Chibi Mothra helps him by complimenting his wings, causing Chibi Rodan to revive and praise his own wings as his most impressive feature. Chibi Mechagodzilla answers that his recovery speed is more impressive.

Trivia

  • The episode's title references Rodan's epithet of "Giant Monster of the Sky" (空の大怪獣,   Sora no Daikaijū), which appears in the Japanese title of his debut film.
  • A typo is present in the English subtitles of this episode, with Chibi Rodan saying, "If this is your fist time flying, then this scenery must be a first too."
