Godzilla Minus One Ending Explained

Godzilla Minus One has been embraced by fans, critics, and even the 2014 reboot director, and the movie’s climactic conclusion has played a significant role in its near-universal acclaim. The latest Toho production sees Godzilla returning to his terrifying roots, acting as a destructive antagonist to mainland Japan. The movie follows Kōichi Shikishima, a former kamikaze pilot who elects to forgo his self-sacrificial duty at the end of World War II. Shikishima makes a new life in the ruins of Tokyo with a young woman, Noriko, and an orphaned baby, Akiko, both of whom he chooses to take in upon his return home.
