History Characters / GodzillaTheGodzillas

** [[spoiler:Although the creature survives being submerged to the bottom of Sagami Bay and then being hauled back up, the intense explosive decompression has caused it to suffer severe internal damage; bone and muscle tissue are bulging through huge cracks and fissures in its plating, and its eyeballs have prolapsed out of their sockets. Getting the top of its head minutes later seems almost tame by comparison.]]

* BodyHorror: Subtle, especially compared to the previous live-action incarnation in ''Shin'', but it is there when we compare Godzilla's original more realistic theropod appearance in the opening to his mutated classical form after the the Atomic testing at the Bikini Atoll that Godzilla appearance has taken a startlingly shift between the appearances, especially in their movements as the mutated Godzilla later in the film moves in a more stilted and laborous manner compared to the more animated and aggressive version shown at the start of the film that implies Godzilla is ''not'' in its own natural shape anymore and is in severe pain just by existing, which is presumably heightening its already HairTriggerTemper to a RageBreakingPoint when it re-emerges years later.

The chibi version of Minilla, as appear in ''Anime/ChibiGodzillaRaidsAgain''

[[caption-width-right:250:"Well, he's definitely a handful, but he's fun!"]]

* OnlySaneMan: One of the few sensible resident on Monster Island outside of Chibi Mechagodzilla.

!!!'''Modeled after''': Minilla

* FatalFlaw: Wrath. Godzilla is quick to temper, and doesn't rest until the subject of its ire is utterly destroyed. This is what allows the plan to kill it in the climax to even have a chance at success. [[spoiler:Godzilla had already made landfall before the civilian fleet even left port and was well on its way to Tokyo, until Shikishima uses the ''Shinden'' to [[DrawAggro fire on it and draw its attention]]. Angered, Godzilla gives chase and is lured back to sea, toward the waiting fleet of ships, which eventually ends in his (temporary) death.]]

* NoKillLikeOverkill: Due to his HairTriggerTemper in this adaptation, ''any'' aggression against him immediately sends Godzilla to responding with an extremely disproportionate response in kind even against the most laughably pathetic of threats to him, [[spoiler:such is what causes his ''complete obliteration'' of Ginza with his Atomic Breath when only a very small handful of tanks start peppering him to absolutely no effect]].
* NonMaliciousMonster: Downplayed, at first. It's left ambiguous in the movie, but the novelization for ''Minus One'' makes it clearer that its non-mutated form normally doesn't cause trouble on Odo Island because the natives of the island have learned to coexist with it, providing it with "gifts" in exchange for the deep sea fish he dredges up. It's also more clear in the novelization had the repairmen not shot at Godzilla in a panic, it wouldn't have massacred them, and it didn't attack Shikishima when he was in the plane turret for this reason. Nonetheless, it's still an extremely territorial animal with a HairTriggerTemper, which only gets much worse when it's mutated, as it starts attacking people who are no threat to it.

** Season 2 of ''Chibi Godzilla Raids Again'' has him dislike [[FeedItABomb things exploding in his mouth]]. [[spoiler:This is how Godzilla from ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne'' was defeated]]

* CloudCuckoolander: So much that it exasperates Chibi Mechagodzilla.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: Because he's Chibi ''Godzilla'', he ''loves'' to cause destruction, which Chibi Mechagodzilla dislikes when he destroyed his model city. Which of course is PlayedForLaughs.

* HavingABlast: Godzilla is occasionally show to have the ability to unleash a short range explosion of nuclear energy referred to as a Nuclear Pulse, which originated in ''The Return of Godzilla''. Generally it's only used to stun other monsters whenever they're on top of him and Godzilla needs to put some space between them. [[spoiler:''Godzilla 2000'' and ''Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) '']] are the main exceptions to this; in the first, he defeats [[spoiler:[[HealingFactor Orga]] by unleashing a Nuclear Pulse from inside its mouth]] [[YourHeadAsplode that blows his torso to smithereens]] in an explosion that devastates several city blocks, while in the second, he is upgraded in strength [[spoiler:to Burning Godzilla by Mothra's energy, and unleashes a series of enhanced Nuclear Pulses so powerful, it levels the city of Boston and almost completely vaporizes King Ghidorah]].

* SuddenlyVoiced: He, ''SOMEHOW'', develops the uncanny ability to speak with '''human speech''' for the English Dub of ''Film/GodzillaVsGigan'' after him and Anguirus were listening to the whirring signals from the M Space Hunter Nebula aliens' tapes. Upon sensing a suspicion, he commands Anguirus to Japan's mainlands to see if anything dangerous is happening. The mere notion of Godzilla talking is roughly just as infamous as [[Film/GodzillaVsHedorah using his Atomic Ray to lift off the ground as a method of flying]] or [[Film/GodzillaVsMegalon using his tail to perform a sliding dropkick.]]

* ArtEvolution: Heisei Godzilla's design changed over the course of the series, though not as significantly as the Showa Godzilla's, with his face becoming almost feline in appearance. The version who appeared in ''Film/TheReturnOFGodzilla'' had a permanent KubrickStare, which was done away with for the subsequent films to make his appearance more heroic.

* ArtEvolution: Heisei Godzilla's design changed over the course of the series, though not as significantly as the Showa Godzilla's, with his face becoming almost feline in appearance.

** In ''Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack'' he has black scales, glowing white eyes, and an appearance reminiscent of Heisei Godzilla.

** Season 2 of ''Chibi Godzilla Raids Again'' has him dislike t[[FeedItABomb things exploding in his mouth]]. [[spoiler:This is how Godzilla from ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne'' was defeated]]

* SummonBiggerFish: As he just tends to attack the first thing he sees infront of himself, the heroes weaponize this by portalling him into the final battle with [[Valdor BigBad]] directly in front of him.

* MightyRoar: Upon noticing Miku Hatsune's Shinkalion H5 Hayabusa, he lets out a roar powerful enough to blast the train-mech back.

** Subverted; it's pointed out that as the Apex Predator of Earth, Nature has now evolved to support Godzilla, instead of reverting to a 'natural' state without Humanity.

* PhysicalGod: The Exifs view Godzilla as a god of death and destruction that comes to punish civilizations that have grown hubristic, having seen entire planets decimated by similar kaiju in the past.

* OmnicidalManiac: Prior to the events of the films, he wiped out every other kaiju species, killed off roughly ninety-nine percent of mankind, and drove two alien races attempting to invade the Earth into an EnemyMine with the remnants of humanity. By the present, he's trying to find Mechagodzilla City and eliminate it too.

The result of Shin Godzilla using his Atomic Breath to inject the [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion EVA-01]] with his cells. Which results in a large fusion between EVA-01 and Godzilla to fight King Ghidorah.

* BreakoutCharacter: EVA-01 Godzilla Awakening Form first appeared as a piece of merch for the 2016 ''Godzilla vs. Evangelion'' collaboration before being added to the 2019 ''Evangelion: Breaking Dawn'' mobile game alongside EVA Unit-02's Godzilla hybrid form and eventually starring in the 2022 ''P Godzilla vs. Evangelion: G Cell Awakening'' pachinko game.
