Congratulations, MonsterVerse fans! Episode 6 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters features a scene that longtime Godzilla fans have been looking forward to ever since the MonsterVerse cinematic universe officially began in 2014. Sort of. Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 2, Episode 6 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
Titled “Requiem,” the episode follows the unexpected death of Hiroshi Randa (Takehiro Hira), who is struck by debris after Titan X escapes during a botched Apex control attempt. He passes away in the arms of his mother, Keiko (Mari Yamamoto), and his daughter, Cate (Anna Sawai), who sing a childhood song to him.
