Had there been a Kiryu Trilogy, the concluding chapter would've ended up being the official 50th Anniversary film and replaced Final Wars.
GxM introduced to us the characters and arguably the main character of this trilogy, Kiryu.
Tokyo SOS, the first sequel, expanded the story and introduced new characters. Arguably might've been the weakest of the trilogy, even though the third usually is.
The third might've had the return of the lead from the first film, and the rules of the third film as follows:
Many films followed this like The Dark Knight Rises, Spider-Man 3, Gamera 3, Scream 3.........and etc.If you find yourself dealing with an unexpected back-story, and a preponderance of exposition, then the sequel rules do not apply. Because you are not dealing with a sequel. You are dealing with the concluding chapter of a trilogy. Yes a trilogy. .........................., and its a force to be reckoned with, because true trilogies are all about going back to the beginning and discovering something that wasn't true from the get go. "Godfather", "Jedi", all revealed something that we thought was true, that wasn't true. So if it is a trilogy you are dealing with, here are some super trilogy rules. You got a killer whos going to be super human. Stabbing him wont work, shotting him wont work, basically in the third one, you gotta cryogenically freeze his head, decapitate him, or blow him up.
Anyone including the main character can die. This means you....... its the final chapter...................
The past will come back to bite you in the ass! Whatever you think you know about the past, forget it. The past is not at rest, any sins you think were committed in the past are about to break out and destroy you.
The after credits scene of Tokyo SOS kinda left it open for a continuation. Humans still have Godzilla's cells and are still doing tests. They clearly didnt learn their lesson yet..
Kiryu and Godzilla are at the bottom of the ocean. It is supposed that they're dead, but they're still intact. Godzilla has come back from worse than that and Kiryu is a cyborg.
What do you think a third film would've been?
Would it have continued with the human still having Godzilla's cells or would it still have been a Final Wars type story, except the antagonists have control of Kiryu, only for him to switch sides at the end again and help Godzilla defeat said "super villain"
