Continued from Match 56
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The people at NERV headquarters watched in a mixture of awe, terror, and in their leader’s case, stoic impassiveness as the meteor cracked open and a jet of bright golden flames ripped into the sky. The light poured over Eva 00’s body and the machine crouched slightly, aiming the sniper rifle carefully at the burning mass in front of it. Trying to locate a weak spot.

“Rei.” Mistato’s steady voice hissed through the intercom static. “Try to keep Terminal Dogma safe as long as you can until Shinji and Asuka get back up. You’re the only one still attached to your cable right now so don’t be afraid to go all out. Understand? We can’t afford to lose Terminal Dogma. On top of that, you need to protect Shinji and Asuka.”

Rei’s face frowned a fraction of an inch, staring at the view in front of her. A boiling, writhing ball of golden fire churned and shone like a beacon, lighting up the entire underground area. “Understood.”

Misato sighed and removed her headset, before turning around at the various technicians and scientists. “Does anyone know what the hell that thing is exactly? It’s not an angel, is it?” She looked at Ritsuko hopefully, willing the scientist to have the answer.

“We had detected blue blood on the meteor it crashed on,” Ritsuko began, unmoving from her spot on the computers. “However, we can swiftly determine that whatever this creature is, it essentially rammed into an angel either on route or in orbit of the Earth. As such, we’re not detecting anything from the strange fireball in the sky now. It’s not an angel, that much we do know.”

Misato pursed her lips unhappily, wondering how the hell she could combat some alien entity that was seemingly made of pure fire. As her brain attempted to work out what this creature was, all of the computers in Terminal Dogma whistled in a shrill alarm as the MAGUS began pouring out data. If Misato hadn’t known that these were machines, she would have assumed that they were screaming in fear. She didn’t need all of the warnings to tell her what she was seeing in front of her on the viewscreen though. “Something’s happening.”

Rei’s eyes narrowed briefly as the flames began to morph into a draconic shape and brightened sharply. Giant wings unfurled from the thing’s back, flapping powerfully as two thick tails formed underneath strong and meaty legs. The golden scales seemed to glitter in the Geofront’s natural lighting and three heads formed into a dragon’s features, spewing golden lightning into the sky of the Geofront and raining down debris from above. King Ghidorah had finally come to finish the job he started so many decades ago and turn the world into ash.

“This isn’t going to be easy.” Fuyutsuki murmured to his old friend. “We had doubts that the children could beat Godzilla, but King Ghidorah?” He shook his head a bit, sighing. “We’re as good as dead.” Gendo steepled his fingers tightly, and predictably said nothing.

Rei waited patiently, eyes locked on King Ghidorah’s middle head. Enhanced scope swirling around to get a clear shot at the thing’s brain. When the creature finally stopped flailing around, she fired without hesitation. There was a loud bang and a gigantic sniper bullet roared out of the sniper in Eva 00’s hands, slamming into the middle head of Ghidorah and forcing the creature to take a step back, heads thrown back by the force.

All of Ghidorah’s heads moved slowly back up, all six eyes glaring death at the Eva in front of him. With a massive bloodthirsty shriek, King Ghidorah beat his powerful wings and tore off towards Eva 00. The battle for the Geofront had begun.

Rei quickly fired off a series of shots that barely slowed King Ghidorah down, wafting through the explosions of bullets easily. Golden lightning crackled and fried out of the space dragon’s mouth and it forced Rei to throw her rifle away and erect a hasty AT Field. The lightning crackled and spit dangerously as it slammed into the AT Field. Rei grunted a little as Eva 00 buckled a little under the power. Gravity beams tore up chunks of rock and dust around Eva 00 and Ghidorah flailed his multiple wildly, shooting in every direction possible. The golden lightning arced in the sky and crashed into the ceiling, sending chunks of rock crashing down around them.

Eva 00 rolled out of the way of another chaotic volley of energy and dove to avoid the energy cord being snapped. The destroyer of worlds belted out a mocking laugh and crashed body first into Eva 00. Rei grunted again, pain flooding inside her body as Eva 00 was thrown like a ragdoll. Realizing quickly that her ranged weapons would be useless, she unsheathed her vibro-blade and squinted her eyes. The blade hummed with lethal energy and Eva 00 charged forward, although Rei was perfectly aware that until Shinji and Asuka reawoke, she had no chance of beating off this monster on her own. That wouldn’t stop her from trying.

Rei sprinted forward, shouldering through the barrage of gravity beams and slamming into King Ghidorah’s midsection before bringing up the vibro-knife and stabbing it into King Ghidorah’s gut. The space dragon shrieked in pain and outrage and lashed out, kicking harshly at Eva 00 and flapping his wings to try and create some space.

Blood spurted out of King Ghidorah’s stomach when the knife was violently removed. Rei pushed forward calmly on her controls to have her Eva move forward again, only to be forced to erect another AT Field as the alien monster concentrated its fire and a triple beam of gravity bolts collided with Rei’s barrier.

A burst of wind forced both King Ghidorah and Eva 00 from advancing any further. Rei squinted slightly as a familiar screech pierced the air. King Ghidorah wheeled around, whipping Eva 00 in the face with one of his clubbed tails and gaped in astonishment as Rodan soared overhead, barking a challenge at King Ghidorah. Anguirus slowly pushed himself out of the rubble and joined his comrade, honking in anger at the golden dragon.

King Ghidorah seethed in fury at the sight of Rodan, remembering the last couple of times that he had encountered the creature. Although he didn’t recognize the spiked one, he knew that if Rodan was here, then he was here somewhere.

Spurred on by rage and bloodshed, King Ghidorah took off into the air without a second thought to begin his war against Rodan anew, firing into the air after his opponent. Rodan swooped around, nimbly avoiding the gravity bolts. The two airborne kaiju circled around the battlefield and the Geofront, battering Anguirus and Eva 00 with harsh winds.

Seeing her chance, Rei moved back over to her abandoned Sniper Rifle and took careful aim, tracking the flailing and angry Ghidorah slowly. She had to time this right, frowning in concentration as Rodan swirled around mid-air.

The two creatures whooshed past each other, playing a similarly dangerous game of chicken they had done decades ago. Rodan screeched mockingly and charged again, trying to ignore the Gravity Bolts assaulting his body when Ghidorah fired on him wildly.

Seeing her chance, Rei aimed at one of Ghidorah’s wings and fired, the shell puncturing a hole through the membrane of the golden dragon. Ghidorah shrieked in pain before Rodan crashed into him, forcing both opponents to crash onto the ground.

Seizing his chance to join his ally, Anguirus rose to his feet and charged at Ghidorah, howling in anger before goring Ghidorah with the horns on his snout and head. Anguirus reared his head, forcing Ghidorah to sink lower on his spikes as blood washed over his face, jerking his head to rip toss King Ghidorah down onto the ground. Thrashing around violently, the space dragon kicked hard at Anguirus’s face, sending blood and teeth flying with a vicious crack before righting himself and unloading a torrent of gravity bolts at both Rodan and Anguirus, sparks flying as they collided with chest armor and shelled spikes.

Misato watched the chaos unfolding just a few miles away from NERV HQ with an intensity that sent shivers up her subordinates' spines. She had dug up every scrap of information about this golden dragon still available and from what the records had shown even Godzilla had been unable to fight this menace on his own. Godzilla was mercifully still unconscious, but she prayed beyond hope that Asuka and Shinji were still alive.

Gripping the railing tightly, Misato prayed her latest plan would work out. The thought of being responsible for her charges’ deaths made her feel sick.“Rei. Engage with King Ghidorah and help Rodan and Anguirus. I’ll keep trying to get Asuka and Shinji back up. Ideally, we can kill Ghidorah before the worst happens.”

“And Godzilla?”

Misato went quiet for a few moments, unsure of what to say to her. “That will be the worst.” She said gravely.

King Ghidorah and Rodan took off into the air again while Anguirus was forced back thanks to more Gravity Bolts. He screeched in anger, stamping on the ground in frustration that he couldn’t join the fight. Rei moved Eva 00 forward, making her move as fast as she could make her machine go. Stepping carefully onto Anguirus’s spiked shell, she vaulted herself high into the air and didn’t flinch as her umbilical cable snapped off and forced her into emergency power.

Landing on Ghidorah’s back, Rei clung on for dear life as the space demon gave a shriek of surprise and began bucking around in a desperate attempt to get Rei off of his back. Clutching her vibro blade, Rei took a deep breath and switched it on, letting the blade shine evilly before stabbing it down into King Ghidorah’s back, having to grab onto one of Ghidorah’s wings to keep from being thrown off as he seized up in pain.

Ignoring the violent shudders and spasms of her opponent, Rei swiftly brought her knife around and carved a deep gash into one of Ghidorah’s wings. Ghidorah howled in agony, and before Rei could jump back off Rodan once again slammed into Ghidorah. The force of the attack sent Rei flying off of Ghidorah and crashing onto the ground, unable to roll away in time when Ghidorah collapsed on top of Eva 00.

“ShinjI! Asuka! Get up!” Misato barked into the radio, one of the cameras switching to the gigantic pile of rubble. “Rei needs your help! Are you two still alive?” The rubble shifted slowly. Her heart stopped beating as a figure began to emerge from the wreckage of Tokyo-III, girders and steel groaning as Eva 01 slowly forced herself into a standing position. “Shinji.” She breathed in relief.

She quickly forced herself back into a more neutral tone, but she was unable to keep her composure entirely. “I’m sorry Shinji, but I need you to go help Rei if you can. I’m afraid the situation’s gotten worse, a kaiju known as King Ghidorah was in the meteor that took you and Asuka out of commission. Rei is currently fighting it alongside Rodan and Anguirus but I don’t think she can do it without your help. We’ll keep trying to get in contact with Asuka, but your main mission is to stop King Ghidorah at all costs. Understood?”

“Yes,” came the tired and faint reply. Eva 01 swayed slightly, before with a mighty roar Shinji pushed his machine onwards and charged headfirst into the battle, leaping into the frantic mess of limbs and energy attacks. He tackled King Ghidorah to the ground, savagely pounding at the golden dragon’s chest with his fists until a series of Gravity Bolts exploded directly against his face, forcing him off of Ghidorah. Eva 00 quickly moved over, heaving the fellow Eva away as Ghidorah rose to his full height, his chest coated in blood. Rodan slowly got up, regrouping next to Anguirus.

A familiar roar pierced the air. In the distance, the wreckage of Tokyo III flashed blue before it exploded from raw atomic fury. Clawing his way from the wreckage, still alive, was Godzilla. His eyes narrowed when he locked eyes on King Ghidorah. The Evas and the kaiju parted away as Gozilla slowly moved towards Ghidorah, the two enemies glaring death and spitting at each other.

A silence fell across the Geofront as everyone waited for the other to make the first move. Godzilla stood motionless, his eyes flickering between Ghidorah, his former allies, and the Evas. It was only with a low roar of anger and a flash of blue did Godzilla fire an atomic ray directly against King Ghidorah’s chest before charging forward.

King Ghidorah instantly beat his powerful wings and forced Godzilla to stumble back, gravity bolts slamming into his chest that caused the King of the Monsters to shriek in agony and start convulsing a little. Dorsal spines flashing, Godzilla fired another atomic ray that clashed with the golden lightning and the ground rumbled from the force of the explosion that occurred between them.

Godzilla moved closer again, braving the gravity bolts slamming down his back and uncaring of his pain as he tackled Ghidorah. Both monsters wrestled with each other, rolling around and trying to strangle the life out of each other. Ghidorah bit down hard against Godzilla’ shoulder, only for Godzilla to grab the right-most head and began squeezing it hard. Foam and blood spurted from the choking head of Ghidorah.

Rising back to his feet, the golden dragon flexed his wings and beat them rapidly. Godzilla howled as the winds began to pick up and he was flung from his opponent, tumbling across the ground like a tumbleweed and bellowing in frustration as his chance to finally kill his arch-enemy slipped away yet again.

Soaring high overhead, Rodan swooped up from behind and pecked energetically at Ghidorah’s heads, distracting the dragon enough to cease the massive torrent of winds. Rodan screeched and cackled as he soared around Ghidorah, pecking at him just out of reach of the heads and swerving to avoid the gravity beams.

Eva 01 and 00 saw their chance and each unsheathed their vibro knives. Anguirus pawed at the ground and all three of them began sprinting forward. The three each gored King Ghidorah with their knives and horns respectively, blood spraying like a fountain as Ghidorah gave a high pitched scream of agony at the feeling of his insides being violated.

Godzilla bellowed angrily and fired another powerful atomic ray at King Ghidorah’s bleeding and wounded chest which floored the space dragon. Godzilla fired another atomic ray, cleaving the middle head clean off with a vicious shriek. Eva 01 ran forward and slashed with the vibro knife, carving a deep gash in the thick neck of the left head before grabbing at the flailing limb. “Now Ayanami!”

Unit 00 darted in with surgical precision, carving and hacking away at the rest of King Ghidorah’s left head before with a spurt of blood, it was sawn clean off. Godzilla marched over, roughly shoving aside the two Evangelion units and stamped viciously on the last remaining head. He kept stamping on it, blood splattering across the ground. He only stopped when there was nothing left than golden-red paste smeared across his foot.

Godzilla turned to Rodan and Anguirus and glared at them hatefully. The two hesitated for a moment, before backing off and turning around. Both tired and bleeding, they had no need to continue the fight anymore. They each left, Rodan taking off for the crater in the sky and Anguirus to find a suitable place to burrow out of. With three opponents taken care of, he turned his attention towards Eva 01 and 00.

Shinji glanced at how much time he had left and cursed when he saw it was nowhere near enough time. “Asuka, please… where are you?” But Asuka was somewhere else right now.

“I’m a failure. I’m a failure.” She whispered in the darkness. She had failed to stop Rodan and Anguirus, she had failed to stop Godzilla. She had failed to get up and keep fighting and now she’ll fail to save the only two people on the planet that ever meant anything to her.

Do you really want to give up that easily? A voice whispered in her mind. “Mama…. I’m sorry.” Asuka wept, clutching herself tighter and letting out a wretched sob.“I failed you…” [/i] Are you willing to give up Shinji and Ayanami that easily? [/i]

“What else can I do?” She muttered bitterly. “I can’t fight like they can.” She heard Godzilla roar again and even though she couldn’t see them she could imagine Godzilla ripping them apart. Advancing to HQ. Burning everything she had trained her whole life to protect. You can fight.

“I can’t fight.”

You want to fight.

“I’ll fail.”

Only if you give up.

“What if I lose?”

Then you die.

“Will it be worth it?”

You want to save them?

“Yes.”

Will you die to save them?

“Yes.”

Eva 01 and 00 powered down before they could even do anything. Shinji cursed loudly and pumped the controls of his Eva. “Ayanami, get out now!” He called, furiously trying to eject the plug from his Eva to no avail. He could see Godzilla’s angry, hate-filled expression towering over him. His dorsal plates flashing as he charged up his power to take them out now and move on to the creature that they harbored. The one that killed his son. That’s when the pile of rubble behind Godzilla exploded outwards.

A shower of plaster, dust, and rock rained down as Godzilla wheeled around in alarm and saw two glowing eyes in the torrent that was coming down. Its figure was hunched over and the jaw parted, revealing sharp needle-like teeth. As it stepped out into the natural sunlight, there was no mistaking what it was. Its whole body shimmering as red as its painwork, Eva 02 reared up its head and roared into the sky.

Misato gasped out in alarm, nearly slamming her face against the screen as she realized what had happened. “Asuka, no!”

Eva 02 gave a furious shriek and sprinted forward, easily outpacing Godzilla and tackling the King of the Monsters to the ground in a violent, frenzied and animalistic assault. It reared its hands up and formed a ball, jackhammering them down against Godzila’s chest. A sharp crack of bones made Godzilla wheeze in pain, blood coughed up as he tried to push the berserker Evangelion away from him.

Asuka screamed, frothing at the mouth like a dangerous animal and Eva 02 surged forward again as Godzilla’s dorsal plates lit up and an atomic ray fired. Immediately, an AT Field formed and the nuclear fire washed harmlessly around it, coating Eva 02 in an eerie blue light.

Eva 02 bowled over Godzilla with a powerful dropkick and marched over to the dazed monster. It grabbed his writhing tail, gripping it tightly and starting to spin. Eva 01 began spinning faster and faster, lifting Godzilla up into the air as it spun like a whirlwind. With a mighty yell, Eva 02 hauled Godzilla around and tossed him like a ragdoll across the battlefield, away from NERV HQ and the de-powered Eva 01 and 00.

Godzilla rose slowly, panting hard but glaring at Eva 02 before slowly walking, then turning into a full bodied sprint as he charged fearlessly at the Evangelion. Eva 02 seemed to hiss in anger and it sprinted forward and the two met each other with a thunderous punch to the gut and jaw. There was a sick snap as Eva 02’s jaw hung limply. Godzilla howled in pain but despite that he grabbed Eva 02’s jaw and twisted, shearing synthetic tissue and metal away as he forced it open wider and wider, only to be batted away by a snarling robot.

The two lifted their hands and grappled at each other. Each pushing against each other with unholy strength. The two roared at each other and pushed with all of their might, neither making any headway until Godzilla suddenly fired an atomic ray point blank into Eva 02’s face. Flesh and steel melted away from the heat of the atomic, and Asuka gave a deranged shriek of agony that only fueled her bloodlust. Eva 02 screamed out and its broken jaw seemed to snap back into place before slamming into Godzilla’s shoulder, viciously tearing at it like a rabid dog. The King of the Monsters cried out in alarm and panic, batting away Eva 02 as a gigantic chunk of his flesh was ripped out and swallowed whole by the berserker Eva.

Godzilla swung his tail around and grunted when Eva 02 grabbed it. He felt his feet skid across the ground and he dug them in hard, the momentum allowing him to swing his tail and fling Eva 02 down across the ground, getting into an awkward tumble before the Eva righted itself and began barreling towards him on all fours and started to climb on top of him. He kicked out violently, but Eva 02 scrambled around and sent him toppling to the ground again. Eva 02 mounted Godzilla again and reared up, sinking its teeth into his flesh once again.

Godzilla battered desperately against Eva 02 and screamed out when more of his body was eaten by the crazed machine. He tried to fire another point blank atomic ray but an AT Field formed between them. Godzilla could feel the heat of his own atomic fires as he continued his attack for a few more moments, two wounded enemies glaring at each other. He snarled, shoving his hands out and digging his claws into the AT Field.

Flexing his muscles, he pulled with everything he had. Godzilla felt his arms scream in pain but he kept pulling, determined not to lose. The AT Field began to rip slightly and Godzilla pulled even harder, stretching the weird energies with everything he had. The AT Field sizzled and crackled, seeping around Gozilla’s fingers until he fired another point blank atomic ray that completely shattered the AT Field and floored both combatants.

“I can’t believe it,” Fuyutsuki commented, watching the fight with wide eyes. “Not only is Godzilla keeping up with a berserk Eva 02, but he even ripped through the AT Field.”

“As impressive as it is,” Gendo commented coldly, watching the screen where the battle was taking place. “He’s no match for Evangelion Unit 02. He’s already been weakened by hours of fighting. He won’t have much left.”

Godzilla breathed raggedly. He felt his energy being depleted by the minute even as his body healed the physical damage done to him. The pain however, failed to go away. The pain never went away, and his whole body felt like it was on fire. He wondered how long he could keep this fight up. His intelligent eyes watched as Eva 02 moved forward again with relentless aggression, and he charged to match, but his mind drifted elsewhere for a brief moment.

His son would be avenged or he would die trying. His hatred was the only thing keeping him alive and burning away at his broken and tortured spirit.

The two clashed again with a clap of noise that reminded watchers of thunder. Misato watched as Eva 02 swiped at Godzilla, who responded back with a fierce uppercut to the already broken jaw. The two continued to trade blows, battling for supremacy in a brutal and swift fashion.

Eva 02 howled and flicked out its vibro knife, and jammed it into Godzilla’s beaten chest. The King of the Monsters instantly jerked back in alarm, giving a pained wheeze as he felt the knife carve into one of his lungs. The knife was taken back out and stabbed into his chest again, barely missing his heart.

Out of desperation, Godzilla kicked out against Eva 02 and yanked the knife out of his bleeding and wounded chest. He let out a choked gasp, gripping the hilt of the knife before slowly turning the vibro-knife around and charging at Eva 02, slashing clumsily and wildly. He stabbed downwards and managed to nail a direct hit. Sparks flew everywhere as the vibro-knife began to carve and cut into Eva 02. He roared, firing another atomic ray at the hilt of the knife still stuck in Eva 02’s chest and watched as an explosion engulfed the upper half of the Eva and a loud echoing howl of pain boomed across the Geofront.

Then Eva 02 screeched. Through the debris of burning skin and melting steel stepped a half-destroyed Eva 02, blood-like substance oozing down as it held the melted remains of the vibroknife in its hands. Asuka wheezed from inside the cockpit, blood seeping down her nose as her mind was flooded with nothing but pain and anger. It slashed lazily with the vibroknife, only for Godzilla to move out of the way and backhand Eva 02. Finally on the offensive, he fired an atomic ray that was repelled only by a weak AT field that shattered on contact, staggering Eva 02.

Seeing an opening, Godzilla charged forward to tackle Eva 02 and take the knife back. Eva 02 lurched at the same time, awkwardly stumbling to try and meet Godzilla’s pace. Finally, at the last possible moment, Eva 02 ducked and slammed the melted remains of the knife into Godzilla’s chest. Straight into his heart. Time seemed to freeze as Godzilla felt his heart pierced by the blade. Each beat seemed to get slower, more distant. Blackness crept into his vision and for a brief moment he could hear his son’s own cries, beckoning him to join him in the afterlife. Godzilla gave an unearthly death howl, trying to claw Eva 02 in his last moments before he fell over dead.

Godzilla had finally died.

Eva 02 swayed for a moment, and in unison both Eva and Asuka screamed out a victorious war cry before it toppled over, completely silent.

Help was already one the way, Misato was personally leading the charge to eject all three pilots and get them into intensive care. Her superiors be damned, her only concern was getting her charges to safety as quickly as possible now that the nightmare was finally over.

“Incredible.” Fuyutsuki commented. “Even you have to be impressed by that, Gendo.”

“Yes, Asuka was rather impressive. I shall make sure to personally tell her, and to eventually let the press know that our Evangelions were the ones responsible for finally killing Godzilla.” Gendo replied, surprising his old friend. “Right now, I want a team to harvest the bodies of Godzilla and King Ghidorah. We can use them for our goals. I also want our best medical staff to attend to the pilots.”

Fuyutsuki nodded, and together they watched in silence as Rei, Asuka, and Shinji were put onto stretchers and wheeled off to the best medical attention they could afford. For once, Fuyutsuki thought, they had earned a well deserved rest.

I really enjoyed this match, great character stuff and kickass action combine to make something that feels like a fine blending of Godzilla and Evangelion. Especially love the menace given to Showa Ghidorah here.

What a lovely Kaiju mash, as someone not as familiar with Eva this did a good job selling me on them and they seemed to blend in well with the Godzilla Kaiju. Also loved how Showa Ghidorah was presented and always could use more of that. A fun read to be sure

Nice to see the sequel for this matches prequel came into fruition!
Spoiler:
I do gotta say though, it's kinda.. short. We have all this action going on between the three EVA's, Godzilla, Anguirus and Rodan, plus the new arrival of Ghidorah. It goes by a little fast to really let anything to sink in; at least for my liking.

Spoiler:
I think this match was overall decent, but it does have problems. For the pros, the action is entertaining and the fact that this is the first sequel to another KWCE match (discounting GVJ's parody matches) is a nice record breaker. And Godzilla's death at the end is delightfully brutal.

For the cons however; one, King Ghidorah's role felt kind of pointless. He just comes in, causes a little bit of conflict, and then gets curbstomped by the EVAs, Godzilla and his Kaiju peers; a very underwhelming delivery on what was a pretty nice buildup in the previous match. If anything, Godzilla felt far more spot-lit as an antagonist, and as such maybe the focus instead should've been geared towards him.

Speaking of which; we have a little hint of Minilla's death being the source of his rage, and I think such a notion works very well—except that all it sadly is, is a brief mention and that's it. Unless I'm misremembering something from beforehand, we don't get even a brief explanation of how Minya died or why Godzilla's choosing to take it out on humankind, we just get "Godzilla's on the ropes, but he refuses to die because guess what? Minilla's dead, and he has to avenge him." Which is a shame, because with more focus on that aspect, that could've made for an amazing story. What's more, Godzilla's death, despite its great brutality, also felt rather rushed and over-with too fast.

Lastly, Rodan and Anguirus' roles also felt very short. Once more, they briefly tangle with Ghidorah, and then once he's dead they both just leave in the blink of an eye and are never seen or mentioned again.

This was a pretty cool match! It's written well (with a few typos though) and the action is properly brutal. As for specific comments and critiques...
Spoiler:
For all his buildup as a powerful threat, King Ghidorah definitely could've at least lasted a bit longer in the fight. His death felt slightly rushed to me, especially with how easy it suddenly became for everyone else to blow off his heads, in quick succession nonetheless. Like ShinGojira14 said, Godzilla seems to be built up more as the main threat, consider how dreaded he is and how everyone is seemingly intimidated by him when he first shows up, since they make way for him to fight Ghidorah.

Additionally.... yeah, I'm not too sure if I like how quickly Rodan, Anguirus, 01 and 00 were put out of the fight. While both are slightly justified, it's a bit too clear that all this happens to make way for the final battle between 02 and Godzilla. On a positive note though, Berserk 02 vs Godzilla is definitely the highlight of this match with how brutal it got. I also kinda wish the ending was expanded a bit, but that's just me.

This match was pretty fun. I prefer the first match but I had a lot of fun here. King Ghidorah is shown to be a menace and the overall fight is fun. Some great build up and action. In some spots it feels fast but its still a nice match.

Very good! I liked the characterisation of the monsters and the Evas (and the pilots, of course), and the little interjections by Misato, Fuyutsuki and Gendo. Great action, and a satisfying conclusion.
Spoiler:
Like all the others said, King Ghidorah felt a bit obsolete, and I didn’t really like how Anguirus, Rodan, Shinji and Rei were sidelined so fast. Apart from that, the 02 vs Godzilla fight was spectacular, and very, very brutal. It was very draining for both, with basically both combatants surely being covered in blood. I never thought I’d like seeing Showa Goji die (poor soul), but this felt different. It felt right.
