Anguirus will also return in Singular Point. However, he returned to the screen in Final Wars, where he once again battled against Godzilla.

As the pair of kaiju battled to death, they tore through Osaka, Japan. This battle sparked for no other reason than great hatred between the two creatures. In his first appearance, Anguirus viciously battled with Godzilla for well over 8 minutes on screen. While he does have a long, spiked tail, he rarely attacks with it.
