* SympathyForTheDevil: Downplayed in that he's more of an antihero in this film, but near the end, Dayo expresses feeling sympathy for Godzilla and not wishing to see him come to any harm when the island is set to explode. This prompts all the people to call to him to get off the island before it's too late while they're being carried away by Mothra, and they're happy when they see he does.

* BreatherEpisode: The film takes place after the DarkerAndEdgier ''Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster'', and while the film does have its dark moments, it's not overshadowed by an AlienInvasion with three monsters, and two StarCrossedLovers ends in a tragedy (for the male's LoveInterest).

* SuperPoweredShrimp: Ebirah is a kaiju-sized shrimp that is controlled by the [[FarEastAsianTerrorists Red Bamboo]] as a bodyguard and warden to keep their slaves on the island. [[spoiler: Outside of its size, it has little else going for it, leaving it the victim of a CurbStompBattle from Godzilla.]]

** The Red Bamboo themselves react this way twice, first when Godzilla suddenly appears while they're chasing Dayo, and later when they realize the repellant liquid isn't working on Ebirah as they attempt to flea the island.

** This also extends to other actions scenes. The first fight with Ebirah has a sequence in which Godzilla is pulled underwater and the film plays this up as a threat. For Kong, drowning would be an issue. Not so much for the amphibious Godzilla.

* MsFanservice: Dayo. She is so sexy that even the King of the Monsters himself is entranced by her.

* MsFanservice: Dayo. She is so sexy that even the King of the Monsters himself is entranced by her. [[note]]Considering that this was originally a ''King Kong '' project, this would have definitely worked well with the Eighth Wonder of the World who has a thing for sexy women...the King of the Monsters...not so much.[[/note]]



* OutOfCharacter: Godzilla's behavior patterns. This is clearly evident when he first sees Dayo, and he certainly did not care about humans since his first appearance in ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain''. His belligerence towards Mothra counts as well, since they were allies at this point in the series. Partly justified when the role was originally given to King Kong.

Number seven in the long running ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' series and more well known under the title ''Godzilla vs the Sea Monster'', this film started [[WhatCouldHaveBeen life as a]] ''Film/KingKong'' project until the proposal was rejected in favor of ''Film/KingKongEscapes''. Not wanting to put the script or monster costumes to waste, the film switched stars to Godzilla. Known in Japan as ''Gojira, Ebira, Mosura Nankai no Daikettō''.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bank robber Yoshimura is abrasive, openly derides his new companions and makes no secret of hating the situation they're stuck in. However, as the movie goes on he begins to soften, taking charge of the efforts to defy the Red Bamboo, chasing after Yota to save him when he stupidly charges in to save the islanders and even commenting in the climax he'l go straight from now on.

* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: Literally! Godzilla is not on any side of the conflict, and is just a neutral third party tucked away in a deep sleep on the island. Once he wakes up, everything goes absolutely haywire for the previously untouchable Red Bamboo as neither they nor their crab are equipped to handle the radioactive dinosaur.
