From GODZILLA MINUS ONE (ゴジラ-1.0/ゴジラマイナスワン, Gojira Mainasu Wan, 2023) to the latest installment, GODZILLA MINUS ZERO (ゴジラ-0.0/ゴジラマイナスゼロ, Gojira Mainasu Zero, 2026)—

The special exhibition “Godzilla Expo: The Minus World” (ゴジラ博マイナスの世界, Gojira Hiroshi Mainasu no Sekai), which delves behind-the-scenes of these films, will be held at two venues in Tokyo and Osaka starting in November 2026.

This special exhibition traces the journey of how the “Minus World” came to life on screen through a variety of production materials that reveal the backstories of both movies, as well as the props that brought them to life.

From conception to filming, cutting-edge visual effects, and finally to completion—the exhibition comprehensively chronicles the ideas, passion, and little-known trial-and-error processes poured into each stage of film production, following the narrative in chronological order.

The venues will also have a wide variety of special merchandise available to commemorate the event.

Discover the meticulous craftsmanship and creativity of the Yamazaki crew—aspects that cannot be seen in the films alone. Please come and experience firsthand the expansion of the world from GODZILLA MINUS ONE to GODZILLA MINUS ZERO.

About GODZILLA MINUS ZERO

War reduced Japan to zero, and Godzilla plunged it into minus. Two years have passed since then, and the country has faced agonizing struggles to achieve recovery and finally reclaim its daily life.

Just as humanity managed to cling to a hard-won peace, a new threat strikes, crushing hope in an instant.

There is no third time. Everything ends here.
