==Summary==
 is a kaiju who appears in the 2023 Toho Godzilla film Godzilla Minus One.
A huge dinosaur-like creature known only by the inhabitants of Odo Island, Godzilla rose from the depths of the ocean and attacked an Imperial Japanese airbase on the island during the closing days of World War II, killing all personnel save for Koichi Shikishima and Sosaku Tachibana. In July 1946, Godzilla was caught in the blast of a nuclear weapons test conducted by the U.S. military at Bikini Atoll as part of Operation Crossroads, causing him to grow substantially in size and power. Over the next year, Godzilla attacked American vessels in the Pacific before making his way toward Japan. Withstanding all attempts to stop him, Godzilla landed in Ginza, Tokyo, and leveled the surrounding area, killing countless civilians in the process. Dr. Kenji Noda formulated a plan to use Freon gas to rapidly submerge Godzilla in Sagami Bay and then draw him to the surface again with balloons, hoping to destroy him with explosive compression and decompression. A civilian fleet carried out the strategy, Operation Wada Tsumi, but it nearly failed before Shikishima crashed an explosive-laden plane modified by Tachibana into Godzilla's mouth. The blast destroyed Godzilla's head and the rest of his body subsequently crumbled, leaving Japan to celebrate the monster's defeat. However, unbeknownst to everyone, a fragment of Godzilla survived and began to regenerate.

Attack Potency: Small Building level (Generates this much energy by moving0.009439 Tons of TNT) | At least Building level+ (Generates this much energy by moving1.18 Tons of TNT. Can easily walk through buildings. Sheer size would grant him this tier, as he is 50.1 m tall and weighs 20120.240 metric tons. Completely devastated many ships), City level with Atomic Breath (His Atomic Breath is this powerful17.359 Megatons)
Speed: Superhuman by sheer size | Superhuman
Lifting Strength: Class K (Can lift 536.77 metric tons) | Class M (Weighs around 20000 metric tons. Godzilla is very strong, being able to throw around ships and trains)
Striking Strength: Small Building level | At least Building level+
Durability: Small Building level | At least City level (Tanked the explosion generated by his Atomic Breath17.359 Megatons), Regeneration makes him extremely hard to kill.
Stamina: Superhuman (Can run and fight for long periods) | Superhuman
Range: Tens of Meters | Tens of Meters; up to Kilometers with atomic breath
Intelligence: Average (Even before the mutation, Godzilla realized Shikishima was not attacking him, which made him not attack Shikishima back. This is further cemented when Godzilla only attacked the soldiers who attacked him, and he also had a lot of chances to kill Shikishima, even seeing him, but didn't. After the mutation, Godzilla started seeing humanity as its enemy, somehow linking the bombings and humans)
Weaknesses: Although his outsides are extremely durable, his insides are far more susceptible to damage. Godzilla is unable to fire his atomic breath in rapid succession due to the burns and physical injuries it inflicts upon him, which take time to heal. After being forced to the surface in the final stage of Kenji Noda's plan, he seemingly had trouble firing his atomic breath, likely due to the same reason. Despite his amphibious lifestyle, Godzilla is susceptible to injury from rapid compression and decompression caused by sudden changes in ocean depth.

Goji_nukes.gif|Atomic Breath
* Godzilla's most deadly weapon is his signature atomic breath or , a blue ray of superheated atomic energy fired from his mouth. The beam generates an extremely powerful explosion upon striking its target, creating a mushroom cloud and crater and generating incredibly powerful shockwaves that level anything around the blast. The atomic breath is so powerful that it leaves Godzilla's face burned, requiring him to regenerate before using the ability again. Godzilla first used his atomic breath to destroy the cruiser Takao instantaneously from below it, then to destroy a group of tanks in Tokyo and level most of Ginza in the process. In Novel Version: Godzilla Minus One, Godzilla's atomic breath is stated to be so hot that it sublimated the iron in Takao, as well as the National Diet Building and the buildings surrounding it. The ensuing shockwave of the blast in Ginza "pulverized" everything within a six-kilometer radius.
