When the alien Kilaaks seize control of the island, the creatures are unleashed upon major cities around the world. Humanity eventually breaks the aliens’ control, leading to the celebrated climactic confrontation with King Ghidorah at Mount Fuji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film assembled an unprecedented company of \u003cstrong\u003eeleven Toho monsters\u003c\/strong\u003e: Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra, Anguirus, Minilla, Gorosaurus, Kumonga, Baragon, Manda and Varan.

The \u003cstrong\u003eMoonlight SY-3 spacecraft\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts across the star-filled upper register, while the enormous red title typography dominates the centre. Beneath it, Godzilla confronts King Ghidorah amid a dense gathering of Toho’s greatest monsters, each identified by an individual Japanese name label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original artwork is framed by \u003cstrong\u003ered musical staves and notes\u003c\/strong\u003e, visually connecting the film’s kaiju spectacle with Ifukube’s celebrated score. The \u003cstrong\u003eToshiba-EMI and associated record-company marks\u003c\/strong\u003e printed along the lower edge identify this as the official soundtrack-related issue rather than an ordinary theatrical reprint.
