{{Infobox Location |era=Showa |image=Battra 1.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Battra attacks Nagoya in Godzilla vs. Mothra]] In 1993, Nagoya was attacked by the larval form of Battra, who had been awakened by a meteor impact in the North Sea and was now traveling across Japan to engage Mothra in combat. The J.S.D.F. deployed a squadron of their new MBAW-93 Maser Cannons to engage Battra in the city. After destroying Nagoya Castle and Nagoya Tower, Battra fought back against the J.S.D.F., making quick work of the Maser Cannons before returning to the ocean and continuing on his way.
