More Godziban with a Katatte focused fourth episode. Don’t worry, there is still a Hedojii bumper for fans of pollution monsters!

Kamatte Godzilla
A lady is doing ballerina practice super hard, but continues to fail to do the super hard spins. Problem because the big recital is coming up! Kamatte Godzilla hears her in her time of need and appears in the studio to cheer her up by being weird. At first she thinks she’s seeing things, but the next day he’s back and keeps appearing wherever she spins.

A tear of frustration drops from her eyes, but gets sucked into Kamatte Godzilla’s mouth. Because EWWwwwww! This is followed by more tears, but it also turns out to be the secret sauce to making her feel better. She realizes Kamatte Godzilla is good and hugs him.

It’s now the big recital day, and the ballerina can now do the ballet recital effortlessly, thanks to the power of Kamatte Godzilla!

Also Kamatte Godzilla spins in wearing a tutu. This is canon, it’s canon, people, Shin Godzilla wore a tutu and does ballet! 100% canon, no takebacks!!

Hedojii
Hedoji and Hedochi are still wandering the wastes, but by now the moon is big and red as it too sets in the sky. It soon becomes dark, but both Hedojii and Hedorah glow in the dark. After the explanation part of the skit, both of them fade their glow except their eyes glow red for a few more seconds before going out. Then small one says his joke and we get a flash of Hedojii annoyed. Good stylized change to the format while keeping the same basic structure, who needs to understand the joke to understand this is good?
