Godzilla vs. the Tigers (ゴジラVSタイガース,   Gojira buiesu Taigāsu) is a 2022 short film directed by Toshifumi Shimizu for April Fools' Day. It is presented as a trailer for a nonexistent movie starring players of the Hanshin Tigers, a Nippon Professional Baseball team. When Godzilla suddenly attacks Koshien Stadium, the Tigers must use the giant robot Toraryu, a parody of Kiryu based on the Tigers' real-life mascot To-Lucky, to stop him. Both shorter and extended versions of the "trailer" were uploaded to the Godzilla Channel YouTube channel on March 31, 2022 (April 1 in Japanese time).

A merchandise campaign was launched in conjunction with the short and included limited-edition T-shirts and other goods, as well as an exclusive repaint of the Movie Monster Series Godziham-kun.[1]

Description

“
Godzilla has suddenly appeared. Amidst the destruction, it is reported that he is advancing toward the Koshien. In order to protect the sacred Koshien from Godzilla, the Toraryu Squad "Tigers" decide to launch the ultimate anti-Godzilla superweapon Toraryu (MechaTo-Lucky), which was developed in secret below the Koshien. This top-secret MT Development Project was deemed to be too dangerous, and thus remained incomplete. Ryutaro Umeno takes up the post of commander-in-chief against Godzilla, Yusuke Oyama independently investigates the mystery of Godzilla, Koji Chikamoto is the developer of MechaTo-Lucky, and Teruaki Sato boards MechaTo-Lucky as its pilot. As the winds of the Rokko Mountains rage on, each of them must face the destinies at the ends of their conflicts and battles... what will be the outcome of the match between Godzilla and the Tigers? A life-or-death championship with a full cast of Hanshin Tigers players is about to begin!![2]
