In the only continuation of the Millennium series, 2003's Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. followed where Godzilla X Mechagodzilla left off a year later. Godzilla rises yet again to continue his rampage. However, before the newly repared Kiryu could be deployed, Godzilla is challenged by a fully adult Mothra. Godzilla and Mothra battle into the night, an eventually Kiryu joins in. Godzilla eventually kills Mothra with his radioactive breath, but the insect was about to be reborn from a giant egg on Infant Island. Two little Mothra larvae hatch and head to Tokyo to join the melee. Kiryu and the two larvae battle with all their might, but Godzilla is too powerful. A crippled Kiryu finally launches itself into Godzilla and latches onto him. Kiryu flies into the sea, were it falls into the water, sinking both itself and Godzilla into the abyss.
In Godzilla's final appearance to date, 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars, the past of the monster is not built upon, all we know is that he first appeared in 1954. The Godzilla of this continuity was imprisoned in the Antartic at an unsaid period in the past. However, when the evil Xillians come from space to invade Earth with multipal monsters, the flying submarine Gotengo frees Godzilla in hopes that it will combat the monsters and save the Earth. The Gotengo leads Godzilla on a multi-country campaign to annihilate the likes of Zilla, Kumonga, Kamacuras, Rodan, King Ceasar, Anguirus, Hedorah, and Ebirah. While the humans enter final battle with the Xillians, Godzilla teams up with Mothra to do battle with Monster X and Gigan. Mothra destroys Gigan, leaving Godzilla and Monster X in the middle of a one on one duel. Monster X eventually mutates into a creature that resembles King Ghidorah, dubbed Keiser Ghidorah. The monster proves to be powerful, but Godzilla eventually conquers it as well, proving he is the true King of the Monsters. Godzilla briefly considers attacking his human allies, but his son Minilla convinces him otherwise. Godzilla silently turns around and heads out to sea.
The only hint we have of Godzilla's future at the moment is a proposed IMAX project entitled Godzilla 3D to the Max, which may be made, and may not. Toho's next official Godzilla film will probably not be until around 2014, but there's one thing you can be certain of...Godzilla will be back.
