After having a portion of blood coagulant pumped into his mouth, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at the trucks pumping the fluid and obliterated them before rising back to his feet. When Godzilla walked back onto the train tracks, several unmanned E231 and E233 series trains laden with explosives were sent ramming into Godzilla, striking and snaking up his body before exploding. The force of the explosions managed to knock Godzilla back down to the ground, allowing the remaining trucks to pump the remainder of the coagulant into Godzilla's mouth and render Operation Yashiori a success.
