* PietaPlagiarism: One of the posters (see above) shows Metphies cradling Haruo in this manner while Godzilla Earth fights Ghidorah in the background.

* TimeDilation: Ghidorah's summoning causes this in and around the ''Aratrum''. [[spoiler:While the people on the ''Aratrum's'' bridge monitor Ghidorah's appearance from one of its orbs, they comment the video has been looping for about 2 minutes. They later send and receive a transmission from the Bilsulado who had mutinied only to comment the area the transmission was from was already destroyed. Right before the ''Aratrum'' is destroyed, the bridge personnel can't detect any life signs onboard the bridge from 40 seconds ago, just before Ghidorah wipes them out.]]

* HotterAndSexier: This is the only ''Godzilla'' movie where there are not-so-subtle (offscreen) sexual encounter, and two female characters strips themselves to the protagonist, though camera doesn't show any exposed bits. [[spoiler:Both Houtua twins offer themselves to Haruo, but he has sex with Maina instead]].

* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:The fight between Godzilla and Ghidorah is this first in one direction then the other. At first Ghidorah is intangible and Godzilla can't really do much at all against him, then when he's rendered material by Metphies' defeat Godzilla demolishes him in a few hits.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Haruo kills Metphies and stops his evil plan, while Godzilla Earth is able to defeat Ghidorah; but that still leaves Godzilla as undisputed ruler of the planet and Hauro realizes that the dangerous cycle of {{revenge}} and hatred will continue and potentially corrupt the Houtua's way of life if he continues living among them. In addition, Martin reveals he plans to use Yuko and the Vulture's nanometal to restore human civilization; leading Haruo to the epiphany that humanity will not only repeat the mistakes of the past that gave rise to the kaiju, but that if this happens Ghidorah could return to harvest the planet. To prevent this, Haruo goes takes the comatose Yuko and the remaining Vulture to confront Godzilla, who vaporizes them. On a brighter note, the remnants of humanity have successfully integrated with the Houtua, Maina raises Haruo's child, and Haruo himself is honored as a hero by future generations. With the egg still intact, Mothra's offspring may one day bring Godzilla's reign to an end, but that doesn't seem to be for a long time.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Haruo kills Metphies and stops his evil plan, while Godzilla Earth is able to defeat Ghidorah, but that still leaves Godzilla as undisputed ruler of the planet and Hauro realizes that the dangerous cycle of {{revenge}} will continue if he himself still lives. In addition, if Yuko's nanometal is harvested, humanity will not only repeat the mistakes of the past, they may create another monster like Godzilla, and it's heavily implied Ghidorah may return to harvest the planet. To prevent this, Haruo goes takes the comatose Yuko and the remaining Vulture to confront Godzilla, who vaporizes them.

* BloodlessCarnage: During Metphies' summoning ritual of Ghidorah, the monster's shadow starts biting people, even a woman who's missing ''her face'', but no blood or organs are shown, instead a blue glow.

* IdenticalTwinMistake: [[spoiler:Maina is revealed to have been the twin who saved Haruo and treated his injuries at the end of ''Planet of the Monsters'' when Miana couldn't take off his suit while attempting to offer sex to him.]]

* SignatureRoar: Garbetrium devices used by the Exif emit King Ghidorah's classic Showa cackle, while Ghidorah itself uses its Heisei roar.

* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:When Martin is able to reactivate the last Vulture by harvesting the nanometal from Yuko's body, Haruo realizes that humanity is on the path to repeating the same mistakes that created Godzilla and the kaiju, and is implied to set up Earth to be harvested by Ghidorah again. In order to rid mankind of the sins of the past, Haruo takes Yuko's body and pilots the Vulture towards Godzilla, who vaporizes them with his atomic breath.]]

* ReligionOfEvil: After it destroyed their homeworld of Exifcalus, the Exif took to worshipping the EldritchAbomination Ghidorah as a god of chaos and destruction; and began wandering space, converting the inhabitants of civilizations they come across to their religion, and then summoning Ghidorah to devour those planets.

* SexForSolace: Seeing how depressed Haruo is, Miana offers to "connect life" with him; though he turns her down. [[spoiler:Not long afterward, Maina reveals that she was the one who saved Haruo at the end of ''Planet of the Monsters'' and offers herself to him, saying that she's scared he'll disappear; Haruo [[RelationshipUpgrade reciprocates her affections]] and has sex with her, which leaves her pregnant at the end of the movie.]]

* SignatureRoar: Garbetrium devices used by the Exif emit King Ghidorah's classic Showa cackle.

* SuddenDownerEnding: At the film's conclusion, [[spoiler:Haruo marries Maina and seems happy -- or at least content -- to spend his life living peacefully among the Houtua... and then Martin Lazzari happily reveals he's fixed the Vulture and found a way to utilize the nanometal in Yuko's body as a weapon against Godzilla. Cue Haruo undergoing a rapid downward spiral noticed only by Miana, taking Yuko and the Vulture, and provoking Godzilla into vaporizing them to bring an end to the cycle of hatred]].
* TimeSkip: [[spoiler: TheStinger shows a set of twins making tribute to Mothra with Maina, now an old woman, looks on]].

* UpToEleven: Traditionally, King Ghidorah is the tallest monster in any Godzilla continuity, ''GodzillaMothraKingGhidorahGiantMonstersAllOutAttack'' being the exception. It is therefore both incredibly unusual and incredibly fitting that the King Ghidorah in the anime continuity is ''over twenty kilometres'' long.

* CentralTheme: The [[InYouNatureToDestroyYourselves cycle of progression will lead to destruction]]. Metphies points out humanity's progression would eventually lead to the rise of monsters, and their own destruction. [[spoiler:Haruo realizes what he means, and chooses to kill himself, along with the repaired Vulture, to break this cycle of vengeance and prevent humanity from progression of creating more monsters]].

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:When Martin is able to reactivate the last Vulture by harvesting the nanometal from Yuko's body, Haruo realizes that humanity is on the path to repeating the same mistakes that created Godzilla and the kaiju, and is implied to set up Earth to be harvested by Ghidorah again.
