MASSIVE WORK IN PROGRESS
==Plot==
In the special, taking place on March 11, 2016 (five years later than the actual earthquake and tsunami and, according to text shown during the episode, four months before "The Last Stand"), the Fukushima-Daiichi disaster attracts members of the Mutant Horde, including Zillas, Titanosauri, Ebirahs, and a few new kaiju not seen in the series during its initial run, mainly monsters from the Ultraman series, such as Red King, Neronga, Gomess, Jirass, and Telesdon. Godzilla, Rodan, Varan, every EDF Mech, and Alpha Squad defend the plant successfully. The special was released on DVD and Blu-Ray the next day, with all profits made going to the relief effort.

===Controversy===
The special was initially derided as "disrespectful" prior to release, especially since actual images of the disaster were used (creating an odd juxtaposition when live-action people appeared one minute, and animated characters appeared the next), but was an instant success in the Japanese isles since it was a badly-needed morale booster. Work on the special was actually commissioned by a presidential executive order to provide such a morale boost, and indeed, the special was the most-viewed program on WBC's Japanese affiliates on Tanabata, even managing to dethrone Mrs. Sazae as the most-viewed program of the week. On WBC in America, Europe, and Oceania, the special was also a success, and was highly anticipated by the fanbase, who unanimously agreed the special did not disappoint, delivering its message as well as a monster-and-robot brawl. Many fans also mentioned that at the least, it was great seeing their favorite characters and monsters again.
