Do Your Best, Chibi Godzilla
Chibi Rodan and Chibi Ghidorah bested Chibi Godzilla in a footrace, causing him to cry. However, every time Chibi Godzilla cried he breathed fire, which delighted both Chibi Rodan and Chibi Ghidorah.
Close Friends, Chibi Godzilla
When feeling lonely, Chibi Godzilla set out to look for friends, encountering Chibi Rodan along with Chibi Mothra, Chibi Anguirus, and Chibi Ghidorah. Chibi Godzilla remarked that Chibi Rodan could fly through the sky. 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.
