"Rebirth of Mothra III" released 1998


The third film in the trilogy, Rebirth of Mothra III, was released in Japan December 12, 1998.  For the three films, Mothra's powers have been beefed up since her Godzilla days.  In Rebirth of Mothra III, she has the power to travel back in time!

A meteor crashes to Earth bringing everyone's favorite bad guy, King Ghidorah, with it.  The three-headed menace begins snatching up children and trapping them in a glowing orb, feeding off their life energies.  The twin fairies (not the Cosmos in the trilogy) summon Rainbow Mothra who barely manages to defeat King Ghidorah by dropping him into a volcano. 

All is not okay, and Mothra has to travel back to the age of dinosaurs to defeat a younger King Ghidorah.  This new Mothra has armor plating and more kick-ass powers.

No spoilers here.
