Synopsis
In the summer of 2008, the G8 Summit is held at Lake Toya, a beautiful resort near the volcano in Hokkaido. At the same time, a Chinese rocket falls onto the island, causing a monster to be born from a spore attached to the rocket. The monster, Guilala, moves toward the summit conference site in pursuit of volcanic energy. Alerted to this foreign presence, countries around the world commit to battling the monster. They must terminate Guilala to prove their countries' power and prestige. The first mission is a missile attack by Japan, then Italy, Germany, and so on. However, when everyone starts to give up, a journalist finds a strange group worshipping the traditional idol at the lakeside.
