Furthermore, the long-awaited sequel to GEMSTONE’s G vs. G short fan film will be released at Godzilla Fest 2022. A trailer for this new short, titled “Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex,” has been released on YouTube.

In addition to these events, there will be a live Godziban puppet performance, with an appearance from Chibi Godzilla.
