Oh, cool. I didn't even see that. I thought she sacrificed herself (which in hindsight would be pretty dumb considering Gigan's head was already chopped off).

Zilla Jr. is basically a much more agile Showa Godzilla, incomparably stronger than Final Wars Zilla. Most of the Final Wars monsters were basically cannon fodder with the exception of Godzilla and Monster X, being beaten absurdly quickly with few to no redeeming showings of strength. FW Gigan had more weapons than his Showa counterpart, but not much in the way of feats, which is a shame because I absolutely love FW Gigan's design. He was beaten the moment Godzilla unleashed his atomic breath.

Even a near-fodder-level kaiju from Godzilla: The Series survived a mountain-busting eruption comparable to the Krakatoa eruption (judging from the fact that the ash plume immediately after the eruption was bigger than the island itself).

As for Zilla Jr.'s beam being weak, it should be noted that he can pump more juice into it when he wants, as seen when he fought the Mutant Bacillus (and as is implied in several other episodes). He once plugged a (different) volcano by blasting the wall of the volcano's mouth to rubble in just 3 seconds. Also, his beam clash with the ice breath creating a violent storm suggests his beam released multi-megaton nuke-levels of energy for that feat indirectly, as in it was a mere side-effect of the beam clash.
