So, I've only seen this movie once before - and while I've long loved Godzilla, I didn't really do a deep dive - mostly because of a lack of availability - until COVID hit. And when I watched Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), it was in, like April 2020. So imagine the headspace I was in.
Anyway - I think around this time was when I was trying to understand what the hell Toho was even doing in the 90's and 00's. And the answer is - it gets really confusing after Godzilla Vs. Destroyah. I have no idea if Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus are in the prior continuity. They certainly are not tied to this movie, which came next.
Here's there's a hard break in continuity, basically starting us over (again) as a direct sequel to the 1954 movie. Just as we'd seen in Godzilla Raids Again (1955) and Godzilla Returns (1984) and as we'd see in the movie following this one - Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla.
