The Three-Headed Monster battles Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan for the world! (tagline)
UFO Expert
[on the disappearance of the princess] Yes, I think she survived because she fell into a gap between dimensions. You may not be aware of this...but there are other dimensions besides those we know. And there's a whole other world therein. The explosion created a gap between the two worlds. She was saved when she fell into it.
Dialogue
Mas Selina Salno, Princess of Sergina: Why does no one pay heed to my warning? The entire human race will perish from the Earth. When the monster Ghidorah passes, only flaming ruins are left...
Detective Shindo: Ghidorah?
Mas Selina Salno, Princess of Sergina: Centuries ago, the monster appeared in the skies of Mars. Within a month, the culture of Mars had been wiped out completely. The civilization on my planet had reached a stage of development which you people will not achieve for a long time. Centuries, at least. Today, because of the space monster, it is a dead world. Dead and uninhabited.
Dr. Tsukamoto: It would be a bad situation if that creature came here to Earth.
Mas Selina Salno, Princess of Sergina: It's worse, because he's arrived.
Naoko Shindo: [as Mothra converses with Godzilla and Rodan] Mothra's talking to them. What do you think she's saying?
Detective Shindo: How would I know? I don't speak monster!
[Everyone turns to the fairies]
Professor Miura: What's she saying?
Shobijin, Shobijin: She's trying to persuade them, but they're not convinced. "Let's stop fighting each other. Let's join forces and protect the Earth from King Ghidorah."
Naoko Shindo: Do Godzilla and Rodan agree?
Shobijin, Shobijin: No, they say they don't care. They say it's none of their business.
Professor Miura: Damn them!
Detective Shindo: Those bastards!
Shobijin, Shobijin: Godzilla's saying, "We have no reason to help humans. Humans are always bullying us." Rodan says he agrees.
