The King of the Monsters wrote: But he probably didn't know about the legend. And again, he would have had to travel to multiple different locations across Japan, channel souls into the Guardian Monsters, and wait for them to wake up. That would have taken at least days if not weeks, and Godzilla was only held back by the electrical barricade for a couple minutes. There's no way that would have bought him enough time to awaken the Guardian Monsters even if he knew about them. The film never said anything about souls (apart from the souls that revived Godzilla) or the Guardians being scattered across Japan.
