I did the same thing - i just watched this movie and was gonna ask some takes on the ending. Die? Godzilla? Without melting down? How do these people figure? Godzilla has been perforated and punctured a few times in his illustrious career, and has yet to die from it. Even in Giant Monsters All Out Attack the hole is not what kills him, it was just an escape route. Under water, cocooned up deep in a magma trench is probably exactly what the doctor prescribed to heal him right on up. And don't you think a re-realizing MechaGodzilla (with Godzilla 54s bones in him) would know the right thing to do to help him?
I like to see it like this - the cells in the DNA 'Special Biotechnology Institute' are the ones when they discovered Regenerator G1 in Godzilla 2000. Which i might add just strengthens the theory that Godzilla doesn't die often; remember his super regenerative powers? I think the door is left open for a showdown between what may be a mutated Godzilla/MechaGodzilla/Godzilla54 creature (similar to Mecha King Ghidorah), and a human engineered Godzilla clone from those cells. Which just might equal out to be something we have all been waiting for - a past versus present Godzilla fight. I can see a storyline, this new Mecha54Godzilla surfaces and is even more bent on Japan's destruction than Giant Monsters All Out Attack Godzilla. He looks part mechanical, part biological due to the fusion of the two giants being under lots of water pressure and magma pressure. The 'Special Biotechnology Institute' has no choice but to use the cells they have to create a new Godzilla clone that they can control and manipulate to stop this new menace. And so it goes...
Eh, too far fetched.
