(Godzilla's Theme - (King of the Monsters Suite))

https://youtu.be/j2iUQ6sta_c

Ziana: The year was 1954, less than a decade after the US dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki near the end of World War 2, forcing Japan to surrender. But in exchange, the nuclear age had began between the US and the USSR. But in the midst of testing of their hydrogen bombs in the Pacific Ocean, one of these woke an ancient beast from the depths, Godzilla.

Kira: Understandably pissed at being woken up AND being mutated by nuclear energy, Godzilla made his way to the nearest country, which unfortunately happens to be Japan and began wreaking havoc across Tokyo. No weapon could even come close to harming this Kaiju. That is until Dr. Serizawa invented the Oxygen Destroyer and sacrificed himself to kill Godzilla. But we all know how that went as another Godzilla appeared years later.

Zen: Though given appearances in movies and comics throughout the years, Godzilla's morality changes from time to time. Ranging from a benevolent Earth Guardian to its malevolent destroyer. Oh, and he technically has two sons, Godzilla Junior and Mi-

Ziana: *Pulls on Zen's ear hard* No. No! NO! We're not talking about that abomination!

Zen: *Yelps in pain* Ow, ow ow!

Zen: *Rubbing her sore ear* Aaanyways. As a creature mutated from nuclear radiation, it's no surprise Godzilla can weaponize such energy. Mostly famous in the form of his Atomic Breath, a breath attack which fires an energy beam made of radiation. But should Godzilla be outnumbered or restrained up close, he can blast them back with a short-ranged Nuclear Pulse.

Ziana: Godzilla also somehow knows martial arts and even perform gravity-defying dropkicks and "fly" with his Atomic Breath. Don't ask us. And while he is technically vulnerable to man-made electricity, he has shown to be able to draw natural lightning upon him and turn himself into a living magnet. And on the occasion he is hurt, his absurd healing factor can repair any damage taken.

Kira: However, if Godzilla's back is against the wall against an an opponent he can't overcome, he can bust out his Red Spiral Ray, a red and more powerful version of his standard Atomic Breath which can one-shot most Kaijus. But that's not all.

Zen: Whether it'd be absorbing too much radiation or Mothra giving him her powers, Godzilla can tap into his Burning Form. Sure the 1996 version proves to be a double-edge as it will also kill Godzilla and destroy Earth in his meltdown, but he'd have to reach 1200 degree Celsius first and within that timeframe, his power skyrockets and gains the even more powerful Super Red Spiral Ray.

Kira: Well there's also his Super Godzilla form, which gives Godzilla new abilities such as Nova Breath and Blast Nova. Strangely enough though, this form directly inspired SpaceGodzilla.

Ziana: Actually that makes sense since both were created by Minoru Yoshida and SpaceGodzilla was a year after the Super Godzilla game.

Ziana: Godzilla is without a doubt one of the most powerful Kaijus of his genre. He's strong enough to throw the 100,000 ton Keizer Ghidorah around with ease, defeated 10 Kaijus in a row in Final Wars, matched all three different versions of MechaGodzilla and defeated his arch-rival King Ghidorah, an alien Kaiju so powerful it took multiple Kaijus to fend him off, many times.

Popup: Various guides have stated that Godzilla's power has increase over 200 times throughout the years and is capable of destroying Earth in the 1993 Godzilla vs Mothra. After Godzilla absorbed Fire Rodan's soul, his power increased yet another 6 times.

Zen: He has been shown to shrug almost anything thrown at him, ranging from nuclear bombs to the Absolute Zero Cannon, which has the ability to freeze at the atomic level. Hell he's so tough, even the combined might of Mothra and Battra can only render Godizlla unconscious temporarily and the Cosmos stated Battra has the power to destroy a meteor capable of blowing up planets as big as Earth. And Toho has claimed Godzilla can shrug off Utsuno Ikusagami's planet-busting Sun Bolts should these two ever meet.

Kira: At first this seems far-fetched to you, but Godzilla has battle planet busters before, namely his rival King Ghidorah and clone SpaceGodzilla. Speaking of him, Godzilla's Atomic Breath is also capable of tagging the clone, who has travelled from a black hole to Earth in 3 days. The nearest known black hole is Gaia BH1, which was discovered in September 2022 by a team led by Kareem El-Badry. Gaia BH1 is 1,560 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus.

Ziana: Given it took 3 days for SpaceGodzilla to arrive, his speed reaches over 19 billion times the speed of light and that's not factoring his crystals arriving way faster at 218 billion. And in his Burning Form, Godzilla has been able to overpower and kill Destoroyah, who was not only declared as the strongest Kaiju in the Heisei Era, but possessed abilities from the Oxygen Destroyer, the very same one that killed the first Godzilla. And while considering his meltdown can destroy Earth, this would yield about 2.6 Ninatons of TNT.

Zen: But Godzilla could go even further beyond, because he has been able to match Thor's strength and literally stomped on the Hulk, two universe busters from Marvel. Thor could easily lift the Midgard Serpent and Hulk's fight with the Nameless One shattered an entire universe.

Weaknesses

Godzilla is not invincible; both his durability and healing factor has limits

The Oxygen Destroyer is his most iconic weakness; able to disintegrate his flesh

Burning Godzilla died from a radioactive meltdown; meaning enough radiation or heat can kill Godzilla (Though Fire Godzilla seems to be a counter from this weakness, as he shows no pain during and even after his transformation)

Atomic Breath becomes self-destructive if Godzilla has a massive hole near his neck or shoulders (GMK).

If his second brain is destroyed than Godzilla will be paralyzed and immobile.

Can be immobilized by certain artificial diseases, heavy blizzards or freezing attacks, UFO tractor beams, or Mothra's silk

Hedorah's poison easily burned through Godzilla's hand and eye and Hedorah's smog almost suffocated Godzilla

Massive missiles can still damage Godzilla (Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S, and Godzilla 2000)

Vulnerable to strong surges of artificial electricity

EMP from the prevent him from using his Atomic Breath to its full capacity

Gills and armpits are weak spots

Relatively slow; even compared to other Kaijus

Sometimes susceptible to mind control

Has been knock-out by Jet Jaguar (with one punch).

Godzilla's mutated DNA has spawned some of his deadliest enemies (Biollante, SpaceGodzilla, Destoroyah's Final Form, Orga, Megaguirus, and Kiryu)

Shin Godzilla is vulnerable to running out of nuclear energy or overheating from too much energy.

If Mothra doesn't die and transfer her essence inside him, Godzilla can't activate his Fire/Burning form

The occasion he destroyed the earth alongside Space Godzilla he died in the explosion (The energy necessary to do so is about 63 sextillion tons or 63 Zettatons of TNT)

Lost against the physically weaker King Kong and Mothra

Sensitive to light

Ziana: Godzilla is indeed powerful, but he's not unstoppable contrary to popular beliefs. He has died in four separate films and his healing factor has limits. As we discussed earlier Godzilla can't handle man-made electricity and he has notably struggled against aerial opponents like Mothra and King Ghidorah. And he can be paralyzed if his second brain is destroyed.

Kiara: Not to mention despite his insane strength, he has been defeated by physically inferior foes like King Kong and Mothra and is slow on land. And he can still be hurt by missiles and other things like Hedorah's poison. And again, his Burning form can kill Godzilla if used for too long. And his Atomic Breath has been shrugged off by SpaceGodzilla's skin and Magita's armor.

Zen: And yet, Godzilla's accomplishments far outclassed his failures. Whether he'd be Earth's benevolent defender or vengeful destroyer, Godzilla has more than earned his title of King of the Monsters.

Godzilla: SHREEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOONNGGGGGKKKK!!
