Meaning of Tokyo SOS cliffhanger

[SonOfGorgo]

This thread's for anyone who wish to express their theories on the cliffhanger of Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.

Just to recap, this post-credits scene shows a tank containing DNA from either the original '54 Godzilla or the new Godzilla that attacked in '99, 2003 & 2004. It also shows that the extraction date of such was either 11th March 1999 or 3rd November 1999. As the tank closed and sealed, an announcer said that a "bio-formation experiment" will begin.

What do you think this means? Were they planning on making a new Kiryu? Or maybe it took place durng the start of the first Kiryu's construction back in '99, bookending the Saga? Please feel free to leave some thoughts, ideas, opinions, and theories in the comments down below. Thank you.

^There was a concept art of different Kiryu-esque mecha creatures, like MechaKumonga, maybe a Mothra. Had they went with that idea in the 2004 film instead of Final Wars, we'd might have seen that.

I thought myself when I seen that they were maybe going to create clones that are controlled instead of mecha, like how Ghidorah was controlled by the aliens in the Showa film and in the Vs. series.

Yeah, I saw that once recently. Maybe they'd revived Moguera.

Perhaps.

I think I remember some people thinking that it was Zilla but that doesn't make much sense since SOS is not in continuity with FW

Literally how?

It says '54 right on the thing. Even if it was connected to Final Wars, it makes no sense.

Actually now that you mention this, I think it was some theory that "GINO" was going to be introduced as some sort of gene-spliced clone imitation created using Gojira 54's DNA but since they dropped the sequel concept, they instead decided to include him in FW. I believe the reasoning had something to do with Tristar's rights to "GINO" expiring in 2003, allowing Toho to introduce the character.

I saw it as a suggestion of things to come. We'd get some biotechnology produced monsters or perhaps more living weapons systems. Anyhow, it was a way to tease the audience regarding future films.

Like cyborg/cybernetic versions of familiar Kaijus?

[Terasawa]

It's almost a fulfillment of Dr. Yamane's warning in the first Godzilla. Yamane warned that continued nuclear testing would bring another Godzilla to life. In the Kiryu films, the new Godzilla appears when its ancestor's remains are disturbed. Here, Tezuka is saying that man will continue with the genetic experiments and DNA extraction; we haven't learned from our mistakes, and it may mean the return of Godzilla.

I'd love to see a continuation of this story whether in film or animation.

[Ivo-goji]

It was just continuing the tradition of cliffhanger endings the Millennium series had followed up to that point.

I think if they put that clip before the credits, it would have worked better as an ominous ending. Putting it after the credits, though, makes it seem more like a tease for possible future films. Still, it works in both contexts as is.

All it needed was Nick Fury to seal the deal, lol.

Whoa.... Mecha Kambeos really looks like a mecha gamera cause of the flying

[LordGuyver-VII]

Here.

Holy crap they have Sanda and Gaira's heads in mechs! It looks like their brains are also exposed, pretty disturbing.
I would've liked to see this on screen.

I actually really like this idea. I wish they would've done it.

[edgaguirus]

I'm glad Toho didn't do it. Gino may have been available, but another Godzilla clone would be too much. There was other kaiju DNA in the lab, so bringing back one of the past monsters would be more interesting.
