History
Heisei era
Godzilla vs. Mothra
During the final battle between Godzilla, Mothra, and Battra in the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama, Godzilla used his nuclear pulse to knock Mothra into Cosmo Clock 21, then fired his atomic breath at the base in an attempt to topple the structure on top of her. Before the giant Ferris wheel could crush Mothra, Battra flew overhead and grabbed it. He then lifted the wheel into the air and dropped it on Godzilla, trapping him in the mess of wires and metal, giving the two divine moths an opening to bombard him with their rays.
