Kanji Watanabe
] is brief, fall in love, maidens... Before the crimson bloom fades from your lips... Before the tides of passion cools within you... For those of you who know no tomorrow...

The Nature of Truth and Deception
Woodcutter
It's a lie. It's all a lie. Tajômaru's story and the woman's.
Commoner
It's human nature to lie. Most of the time we can't even be honest with ourselves.
Priest

Commoner
Not another sermon. I don't care if it's a lie, as long as it's entertaining. What story did the woman come up with?
Priest
Well, it's completely different from Tajômaru's story. So different that her face didn't even show the fierceness he spoke of. She was so docile, she was almost pitiful.

Warning of Ghidorah's Destructive Power
Mas Selina Salno, Princess of Sergina
Why does no one pay heed to my warning? The entire human race will perish from the Earth. When the monster Ghidorah passes, only flaming ruins are left...
Detective Shindo
Ghidorah?
Mas Selina Salno, Princess of Sergina
Centuries ago, the monster appeared in the skies of Mars. Within a month, the culture of Mars had been wiped out completely.

Dead and uninhabited.
Dr. Tsukamoto
It would be a bad situation if that creature came here to Earth.
Mas Selina Salno, Princess of Sergina
It's worse, because he's arrived.
