- This page is for the Godzilla film era. For the political era of Japan, see Reiwa period.
The Reiwa era,[1][2] also simply called the current era,[3] is the fourth distinct era of Japanese Godzilla films and the fifth series of Godzilla films overall. Beginning in 2016, the series continues to this day, running concurrently with the United States' Monsterverse films. Despite being named after the political era of Japan which began in 2019, the Reiwa period, the majority of its entries were in fact released during the Heisei period; 2023's Godzilla Minus One was the first Reiwa-era film of the Reiwa period. The "Reiwa era" name was first used at Toho International's Godzilla booth during San Diego Comic-Con in 2019,[1] and has since been reiterated in the 2022 English informational book Godzilla: The Official Guide to the King of the Monsters.[2] No such terminology has yet been adopted in Japan, however.
Like the Millennium era before it, the films of the Reiwa era do not share one continuity. The era's first film Shin Godzilla and most recent film Godzilla Minus One are set in standalone continuities, while Polygon Pictures' trilogy of GODZILLA anime films are interconnected. The Reiwa era is also notable for being the first era to include fully-animated films, and the first to include both mainline and spinoff films; the anime trilogy and American Godzilla films are not considered to be numerical entries in the Godzilla series, thus making Shin Godzilla the 29th film and Godzilla Minus One the 30th.
