Godzilla

Godzilla (birth name, minilla) is one of the deuteragonists of the shanezilla series. he appears as the main protagonist of the Godzilla franchise. he is a titanus gojiranus kaiju and the rightful king of all titans and kaiju.

## History

### Millennium era

#### *Godzilla 2000: Millennium*

One night, Godzilla came ashore at Nemuro in Hokkaido, destroying a lighthouse and making his way into the heart of the city. Eventually, Godzilla reached an electrical plant and destroyed it. Yuji Shinoda, founder of the Godzilla Prediction Network (GPN), remarked that it appeared Godzilla was intentionally destroying mankind's energy sources. Godzilla returned to the ocean, and began to approach Tokai, most likely to feed on the nuclear power plant there. Mitsuo Katagiri, head of the government agency Crisis Control Intelligence, ordered the plant's reactors to shut down and mobilized the JSDF at Tokai to engage Godzilla. The JSDF deployed its new cutting-edge Full Metal Missile Launchers, which fired armor-piercing missiles which were believed to be able to penetrate Godzilla's hide. Shinoda traveled to Tokai and confronted Katagiri, telling him Godzilla deserved to be studied rather than destroyed, and that there was no way he could kill Godzilla anyway. Katagiri laughed and told Shinoda he would have GPN dismantled before leaving. The next morning, Godzilla swam close to the shore of Tokai, detonating mines in the water. Godzilla finally surfaced and began approaching the shore, withstanding artillery and missile fire from the JSDF and J.A.S.D.F. with no visible reaction. As Godzilla drew closer to the nuclear plant, the Full Metal Missile Launchers opened fire on him. This time, Godzilla was visibly fazed by the missiles, with chunks of his skin being blown off. While Godzilla was being blasted by the missiles, a gigantic floating rock flew over the battlefield and began scanning Godzilla. It proceeded to fire a laser beam from a hole on its side, knocking Godzilla into a building. Godzilla got up and fired his atomic breath at the rock, which fired another laser beam and knocked Godzilla into the ocean. Godzilla swam away, while the rock flew off into the distance. Shinoda returned and surveyed the battlefield, recovering some of Godzilla's flesh that had been blasted off by the missiles. Using CCI's electron microscope, Shinoda and his former colleague Shiro Miyasaka discovered that Godzilla's cells had completely healed in a matter of hours with no scar tissue. They learned the secret to Godzilla's regeneration was a substance in his cells called Organizer G-1, which granted him virtually limitless regeneration that made him practically immortal.

The rock was later discovered to be an advanced alien UFO, which was attempting to subdue Godzilla and transfer his genetic material to its occupants so they could adjust to Earth's atmosphere. The UFO descended in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo and used the City Tower to hack into the city's computer systems, draining all data it could find on Godzilla. After CCI's attempts to destroy the UFO failed, Godzilla emerged from Tokyo Bay to challenge the UFO again. Godzilla walked through downtown Tokyo until he reached Shinjuku. The UFO, still intending to subdue Godzilla, tried to restrain him with tentacles it telepathically formed beneath the street, but Godzilla destroyed them with his atomic breath. The UFO then released a shockwave that caused a skyscraper to collapse onto Godzilla, trapping him beneath the rubble. The ship began absorbing Godzilla's DNA and transferring it to its occupants, which emerged from the UFO in a single collective form. The alien suddenly began convulsing as its body became covered in growths and it finally collapsed to the ground. Godzilla broke free from the rubble and blasted the unmanned UFO, sending it crashing to the ground in a fireball. Just then, the alien stood back up, now mutated into the creature Orga due to its inability to control Godzilla's DNA. Godzilla immediately attacked Orga, but discovered the creature's healing factor was far more advanced than his own. Godzilla tried to blast Orga with his atomic breath, but Orga telepathically summoned the remnants of his UFO, using it to absorb the blast. With the UFO completely destroyed, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at Orga again, causing the beast to be consumed in flames. To Godzilla's surprise, Orga emerged from the fire and began walking toward him, with his gruesome injuries healing in a matter of seconds. Orga bit Godzilla and began draining his DNA, causing him to become covered in green Godzilla-like scales. Godzilla realized that Orga was trying to absorb more of his DNA in order to repair his damaged DNA matrix and become a clone of him. When Orga unhinged his jaw and opened his mouth wide, Godzilla ran headfirst into his maw. Orga began swallowing Godzilla whole, sprouting huge purple dorsal fins on his back. As Orga consumed Godzilla, Godzilla began glowing hot orange and giving off heat. When Orga realized his situation, it was too late as Godzilla unleashed an atomic shockwave that obliterated Orga's entire upper body. Godzilla roared at Orga's headless corpse, which collapsed forward and crumbled to dust. Godzilla then approached a rooftop where several people, including Shinoda and Katagiri were standing. Katagiri refused to move, and lit a cigarette as he remarked he had never seen Godzilla that close before. Katagiri looked up at Godzilla and screamed his name, as Godzilla destroyed the rooftop and sent Katagiri falling to his death. Godzilla turned and walked away, unleashing his atomic breath in a fiery swath across the city. As Godzilla rampaged through Tokyo, Miyasaka remarked that humanity created Godzilla, and ever since has tried to destroy him. Yuki Ichinose, a reporter, questioned why Godzilla kept protecting them despite this fact, with Shinoda answering it was because Godzilla was inside each one of them.

## Abilities

### Atomic Breath

Godzilla fires his atomic breath
As with other incarnations of Godzilla, this Godzilla's signature ability is his atomic breath. This Godzilla's atomic breath is unique in that, rather than being a whitish mist or blue beam, it is a fiery orange color. This version of Godzilla's atomic breath appears to be more incendiary in nature than previous versions, producing a fiery explosion whenever it is used. Whenever Godzilla charges his atomic breath, his dorsal fins glow orange and give off intense heat.

### Nuclear Pulse

Godzilla uses his nuclear pulse to destroy Orga
This Godzilla possesses what appears to be a variation of the Heisei Godzilla's nuclear pulse ability. This ability is seen only once in the film, when Orga attempts to swallow Godzilla whole. Godzilla's dorsal fins begin to glow and give off heat, then the rest of his body begins to do the same. Godzilla then unleashes a fiery shockwave of atomic energy from all directions, obliterating Orga. This ability is also present in the video games *Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee* and *Godzilla: Save the Earth*.

### Durability

Organizer G-1, the secret to Godzilla's durability
One of the most distinctive traits of this Godzilla is his durability. This version of Godzilla possesses a substance called Organizer G-1 (or Regenerator G-1 in the American version) in his cells, which is the key to his uncanny durability. Organizer G-1 allows Godzilla's cells and tissues to heal completely over a matter of hours with no scar tissue, even when they are not attached to his body. This is demonstrated when some of Godzilla's skin is blasted off by Full Metal Missiles, and recovered by Yuji Shinoda. When Shinoda examines the skin samples under a microscope, he discovers that all damage to them has been healed. By this logic, Shinoda hypothesizes that Godzilla holds the secret to immortality.

The Millennian aliens attempted to exploit Godzilla's durability in order to take on a form capable of surviving and thriving in the Earth's atmosphere. The Millennians used their UFO to restrain Godzilla and drain his Organizer G-1, then took on a collective form and incorporated the Organizer G-1 into it. However, the Millennian could not withstand the volatile properties of the Organizer G-1, and mutated into Orga. Despite being deformed and corrupted, Orga did gain a potent healing factor, potentially more effective than Godzilla's, that allowed him to heal any and all injuries almost instantaneously. However, Orga's healing factor did not appear to be as perfect as Godzilla's, as the monster's shoulder cannon was not present when he regenerated his shoulder after Godzilla's atomic breath damaged it.

### Intelligence

Godzilla displays a fair degree of intelligence during his battle with Orga, which allows him to overcome his foe. When Orga instantly heals from all damage Godzilla has inflicted on him and attempts to swallow Godzilla whole, Godzilla lets him do so, giving Godzilla the opportunity to destroy Orga from within using a shockwave of atomic energy.

### Fireball

In the Pipeworks *Godzilla* video games, Godzilla 2000 can spit balls of fire from his mouth that explode on impact. This ability is shared among all the Godzillas that showed up in the games.

### Weaknesses

Like all incarnations of Godzilla, the Godzilla from *Godzilla 2000: Millennium* is immune to conventional human weaponry. Godzilla is injured by the Full Metal Missiles, experimental armor-piercing missiles specifically designed to penetrate Godzilla's armored skin. However, the injury is not serious, and Godzilla's healing factor allows him to quickly recover from the damage. The Millennian UFO's laser cannon also appears to be effective against Godzilla, at one point blasting him directly into the ocean and forcing him to retreat.

#### *Godzilla vs. Megaguirus*

In 1954, Godzilla raided Tokyo and reduced the city to a smoldering wasteland in one night. Afterward, Godzilla slipped back into Tokyo Bay and disappeared beneath the waves. The damage was so great that Japan's capital was moved to Osaka. Japan endured a decade of rebuilding, eventually embracing nuclear power and gradually putting Godzilla's attack behind them. But in 1966, Godzilla returned and attacked the Tokai Nuclear Power Plant, feeding on the nuclear reactor. The Japanese government concluded that nuclear power was what attracted Godzilla, so all of the country's nuclear plants were shut down. Japan struggled to find alternate energy sources, but nothing proved able to replace nuclear power. In the 1990's, a breakthrough was made in the form of plasma energy. This clean, non-nuclear power source appeared to be the future of Japanese energy. But in 1996, Godzilla was attracted to the plasma reactor in Osaka, deciding to feed on it in the absence of nuclear energy. A team of JSDF soldiers were deployed to stop Godzilla, but they were massacred. The lone survivor of the operation was Major Kiriko Tsujimori, who went on to become a founding member of the JSDF's elite anti-Godzilla unit, the G-Graspers. By 2001, plasma energy was banned in Japan, and the G-Graspers had developed the ultimate anti-Godzilla weapon, a miniature black hole gun called the Dimension Tide. The Dimension Tide was test-fired in the outskirts of Tokyo, where it completely absorbed an abandoned building. The G-Graspers were certain the Dimension Tide would do the same to Godzilla, and the weapon was mounted on a satellite while the G-Graspers searched for Godzilla. Godzilla was discovered in the waters off Japan, and the GX-813 Griffon was sent to lure him ashore at Kiganjima. The Dimension Tide was prepared and aimed at Godzilla, but suddenly a swarm of giant prehistoric dragonflies called Meganula flew overhead and attacked Godzilla, draining his energy with their tails. Godzilla killed most of the Meganula with his tail and atomic breath, and the Dimension Tide was fired at him. However, the weapon merely buried Godzilla under a pile of rubble, and he quickly got up. Godzilla waded out to sea and vanished.

Shortly afterward, Godzilla came ashore in Tokyo Bay, heading directly for the science institute. En route, he was attacked by Megaguirus, the Meganula queen which had been mutated by the energy her swarm drained from Godzilla. Megaguirus attacked Godzilla near the Tokyo Telecom Center, easily avoiding his attacks and landing several of her own due to her incredible speed. After managing to slice off Megaguirus' claw with his dorsal fins, Godzilla turned the tide of battle when he caught Megaguirus' tail and stuck it into the ground. Godzilla jumped into the air and body-slammed Megaguirus. Megaguirus flew at Godzilla, aiming her stinger at his head, but he caught it in his mouth and bit it off. Megaguirus reeled back in pain, as Godzilla fired his atomic breath directly at her, causing her to erupt in flames before crashing to the ground and exploding. His enemy defeated, Godzilla reached the science institute and uncovered a hidden plasma reactor. While Godzilla was distracted, the Dimension Tide was fired at him. However, the satellite fell out of the atmosphere and was approaching Tokyo. Tsujimori used the Griffon to allow the Dimension Tide to lock on Godzilla's location, then ejected as soon as the weapon fired. When the smoke cleared, Godzilla had disappeared without a trace. Godzilla appeared to be finally gone, and the nation of Japan rejoiced.

A few weeks later though, the G-Graspers began to detect a series of tremors underneath Tokyo, and contemplated the possibility that Godzilla was merely pushed underground by the Dimension Tide like before. These fears were confirmed when Godzilla emerged from underground in Tokyo, roaring menacingly.

## Abilities

### Atomic Breath

Like other incarnations of Godzilla, this Godzilla possesses the character's signature atomic breath. This Godzilla's atomic breath is more or less identical to that of the Godzilla from the previous film. Godzilla's dorsal fins glow orange and begin giving off intense heat, then Godzilla unleashes a fiery orange beam from his mouth. The beam has incendiary properties, producing fiery explosions upon striking surfaces or other monsters. Godzilla's atomic breath was even capable of destroying a miniature black hole fired by the Dimension Tide on two occasions.

### Durability

The Godzilla from *Godzilla vs. Megaguirus* displays a great degree of durability and resistance to injury. Godzilla easily withstands all of the JSDF's attempts to attack him with conventional weaponry, and endures numerous strikes and attacks from Megaguirus, including being impaled in the stomach by her stinger, eventually outlasting and defeating her. Godzilla also survived being attacked twice by the Dimension Tide, a satellite that fires a miniaturized black hole designed to trap Godzilla in another dimension. When the weapon is first fired at Godzilla on Kiganjima, he uses his atomic breath to destroy it before it can reach the island, producing an explosion that only buries him underground. When attacked by the Dimension Tide a second time in Tokyo, Godzilla seemingly destroys the black hole with his atomic breath once again as it strikes him, but vanishes afterwards, causing many to assume he was successfully trapped in another dimension. However, this assumption was incorrect, as Godzilla rose from underground sometime later.

### Physical abilities

Godzilla catches Megaguirus with his prehensile tail
This incarnation of Godzilla is forced to rely a great deal on his physical strength and endurance during his battle with the much faster and more agile Megaguirus. This version of Godzilla displays the ability to use his tail as a weapon, first when battling a swarm of Meganula and later during his battle with Megaguirus. When Megaguirus tries to attack Godzilla from behind, he uses his prehensile tail to grab her stinger, then pins her stinger into the ground. Godzilla then jumps high into the air and body-slams Megaguirus. Godzilla also uses his dorsal fins as a weapon, managing to slice off one of Megaguirus' claws when she flies past him. Godzilla ultimately defeats Megaguirus by catching her stinger in his mouth when she tries to stab him with it, then bites it off. Megaguirus reels back in pain, allowing Godzilla to destroy her with a direct hit from his atomic breath.

### Intelligence

Godzilla is forced to rely on strategy and learning to a degree during his battle with Megaguirus when he is unable to defeat her through sheer brute force alone. Godzilla gradually learns and memorizes Megaguirus' attack patterns, allowing him to exploit openings when they arise. This is ultimately what allows Godzilla to overcome the much faster and more agile Megaguirus.

### Weaknesses

This version of Godzilla displays very few weaknesses in *Godzilla vs. Megaguirus*. His biggest disadvantage in the film is his bulk and relatively slow movement compared to the extremely fast and agile Megaguirus, who is able to dominate their battle for a period of time by outmaneuvering and quickly striking Godzilla.

## Filmography

* *Godzilla vs. Megaguirus*

IN THE MONSTERVERSE

## *Godzilla (2014)*

In 1999, the spores of two of his ancient enemies, known by humans as the M.U.T.O.s, were found in the Philippian mines. 15 years later (2014), the male M.U.T.O. hatched out of his chrysalis after 15 years of absorbing nuclear radiation from a power plant in Japan. Godzilla begins listening as the male M.U.T.O. lets out a mating cry to his recently hatched female counterpart, and attacks the creature as he is laying waste to a Hawaiian airport, though the male M.U.T.O. escapes by flying away, and Godzilla retreats into the ocean. By this point, he made his presence known to the public.

After this, Godzilla, while still in the ocean, hunts the M.U.T.O.s while they're lured to San Francisco with a nuclear warhead by the American military. Godzilla surfaces just before hitting the Golden Gate Bridge, and the military opens fire with tanks and gunfire. This has little to no effect, however, and Godzilla descends into the ocean once again, but not before clearing his path by accidentally destroying the bridge during the confusion.

Godzilla surfaces once again in San Francisco to confront the recently arrived male M.U.T.O., and the two battle all the way into the night, while a bomb disposal squad led by Ford Brody is sent in via HALO jump to defuse the bomb that was placed to lure the M.U.T.O.s to San Francisco. Shortly after their arrival, the female M.U.T.O. lays her eggs, and Godzilla makes a loud roar at her, prompting the both of them to fight. Godzilla gets the upper hand during the battle, but the male M.U.T.O. arrives, and both creatures take on Godzilla, who is quickly overwhelmed by the two of them.

Before either of them can kill Godzilla however, they're distracted by Brody, who saved the monster by destroying the female's recently-laid egg sacs. While the female is distracted by Brody, Godzilla used the opportunity to pummel her with his atomic breath. Before he can finish her off, the male M.U.T.O attacks Godzilla once more, but Godzilla fights back and manages to kill him by slamming the male M.U.T.O. into a skyscraper with his tail, rupturing the male M.U.T.O.'s internal organs in the process. The impact, however, brings the entire building down on Godzilla, and he collapses to his hands and knees, extremely weak. Godzilla briefly stares down at Brody and after identifying him as the one who saved him from the M.U.T.O.s, he is consumed by smoke and debris.

Brody then escapes to the pier, where the rest of his unit is trying to send the bomb out into the ocean where it can detonate without risk of fallout hitting the city. The female M.U.T.O., still alive from her encounter with Godzilla, follows the radiation and kills the rest of the squad, leaving Brody alone to send the boat out to sea with the bomb. As the M.U.T.O. closes in on the bomb and Brody, Godzilla emerges from behind, grabbing her and blasting her in the mouth with his atomic breath, making her neck explode, before tearing her head off and letting it fall into the water. With both M.U.T.O.s killed, Godzilla roars in victory before collapsing from exhaustion in the city, seemingly dead. When morning comes, however, Godzilla rises up from the ashes around him and lets out a triumphant roar as the humans below cheer and applaud for their supposed "savior", proclaiming him "King of the Monsters." With both of his enemies dead and with balance in nature restored, Godzilla descends back into the ocean to become dormant once again.

## *Godzilla: King of the Monsters*

While fruitlessly searching through the ruins of San Francisco for their missing son Andrew in 2014, Mark Russell, his wife, Emma and their daughter, Madison witnessed Godzilla walk past them. Mark (mistakenly) accused Godzilla for the death of his son and resigned from Monarch, maintaining a desire to have the monster killed. The U.S. government and a large portion of the public grew to feel the same way following the devastating events in San Francisco. After five years, Godzilla had (seemingly) disappeared. Monarch's Dr. Ishiro Serizawa, Vivienne Graham and Sam Coleman appeared before a Senate hearing to discuss the organization's future. The government and military expressed a desire to exterminate Godzilla and all of the other Titans like him, but Serizawa and Graham insisted that the solution was to find a way to co-exist with Godzilla and other possibly benevolent Titans in a sort of symbiotic relationship.

Monarch soon faced a bigger crisis, as they learned that Emma and Madison had been kidnapped from Outpost 61 in China along with Emma's sonar device the ORCA. They brought Mark with them to their underwater headquarters in Bermuda, Outpost 54, a.k.a. Castle Bravo. From there, they covertly had been observing Godzilla on his own turf. Inside Castle Bravo, Monarch determined that Emma and Madison had been abducted by Col. Alan Jonah, a British Army colonel-turned eco-terrorist bent on restoring the natural order. Evidently, he intended to use the ORCA to achieve his goal. While Monarch attempted to decipher where Jonah had brought the ORCA, the base detected Godzilla approaching unusually close. Readings of the monster showed his breathing and heart rate were elevated, and he seemed ready to attack the base. Members of Monarch's G-Team manned the base's Maser Turrets and prepared to open fire, but Mark convinced them to stand down and lower the base's shields to signal to Godzilla that they were not a threat.

As the shields were lowered, Godzilla could be seen swimming just outside the base, his dorsal fins emitting a periodic blue flash, which Graham identified as an intimidation display. Mark approached the window to get a better look, as the glow faded and Godzilla vanished into the blackness. Suddenly, Godzilla charged past the base and swam off. Mark asked to view Godzilla's movement routes, saying that if he left his territory it was because he must have felt threatened. Mark believed this could be because he detected the ORCA. Monarch's course projections showed Godzilla heading to a single location: Antarctica. The members of Monarch boarded the flying command ship the USS Argo and followed Godzilla to Antarctica. Graham explained to Mark that Antarctica was the location of Outpost 32, an off-the-books outpost in which Monarch studied a recently-uncovered specimen which Emma called "Monster Zero," possibly a rival alpha to Godzilla in the ancient past. Godzilla soon vanished from tracking, which Dr. Rick Stanton took to mean he was using passages within the Hollow Earth to navigate underwater more quickly.

Upon arriving at Outpost 32, Monarch was ambushed by Jonah's men and was unable to stop them from unleashing Monster Zero. The three-headed Titan menaced the members of Monarch before Godzilla erupted from the ice to confront him. The Titans charged at each other, with Godzilla trying to grapple with each of the beast's heads. Monster Zero seemed to have the physical advantage over Godzilla, who attempted to fire his atomic breath at his enemy. Instead, the beast's heads simply dodged the blast and countered with a series of gravity beams that knocked Godzilla off the ice shelf. Godzilla got back onto the ice and attempted to reengage, but after being bombarded by missiles from the Argo Monster Zero simply flew away. Monster Zero later vanished within a tropical storm, while Godzilla seemed headed to Isla de Mara, Mexico, the site of Outpost 56. Emma had actually sided with Jonah from the start to unleash the Titans in an attempt to "restore balance" to the world, and her next target was the pterosaur Titan Rodan in Outpost 56.

Monster Zero arrived over the waters near the island within the tropical storm and defeated Rodan in an aerial clash, only for Godzilla to intervene by leaping from the ocean and drag him underwater in an attempt to drown Monster Zero. Godzilla had the upper hand below the waves, tearing off one of Monster Zero's heads, but the U.S. military attempted to kill both Titans with the experimental Oxygen Destroyer missile. When the warhead impacted, it produced a huge green explosion that sent Godzilla sinking to the bottom of the sea, his vital signs dropping until he was pronounced dead by Stanton. Monster Zero, however, was unharmed by the blast and promptly regenerated his severed head before unleashing all of the Titans around the world while Rodan serves as his minion.

While Titans including Rodan around the world bowed to Ghidorah's will, Mothra did not and upon emerging from her cocoon made her way to Castle Bravo. Monarch analyzed the sonar she emitted and found that Godzilla was responding to her. Realizing Godzilla was still alive, Serizawa, Stanton, Chen, and Mark followed Mothra to Godzilla's location in a submarine, which was pulled deeper underwater by a sudden whirlpool. They discovered that this whirlpool led to the Hollow Earth, where they came upon the sunken ruins of an ancient city. Adorning its walls were murals depicting humans worshiping Godzilla. The submarine located Godzilla laying on a giant altar within a nearby underwater air pocket, which contained molten lava flows and extremely high radiation levels. This chamber was Godzilla's lair, and where he went to continuously feed on radiation, allowing him to continuously evolve and survive for an incredibly long time. While the radiation would allow Godzilla to recover from the Oxygen Destroyer, it wouldn't do it fast enough for Godzilla to stop Ghidorah. Unfortunately, the submarine's firing systems had been damaged, meaning it could not fire one of its nuclear torpedoes at Godzilla in order to speed up the process. Furthermore, no one would be able to survive the lethal heat and radiation within the chamber if they armed the warhead manually.

Serizawa declared that he would sacrifice his own life to do this task, and donned a radiation suit which would protect him long enough to arm the warhead. Serizawa departed in a smaller submarine which surfaced in Godzilla's lair. He brought the warhead to the altar and armed it. As the timer counted down, Serizawa removed his helmet and approached Godzilla, who opened his eyes and seemed to notice him. After Serizawa placed his hand on Godzilla's snout and said "Goodbye, old friend", he accepts his fate just as the warhead detonated. The explosion obliterated the sunken city and propelled the main submarine to the surface. Chen and Mark went above deck to see if Serizawa had succeeded, and witnessed Godzilla emerge from a whirlpool, completely rejuvenated. Godzilla fired his atomic breath into the sky, but then turned his attention to the nearby humans and leaned his head down to briefly inspect the group. At first, Godzilla didn't see them as a threat due to the fact he saw Serizawa in his lair before the warhead detonated, but then suddenly realized that the group helped heal him upon smelling the scent of Serizawa on them. Afterwards, Godzilla turns around and makes his way to Boston, where Madison had activated the ORCA after stealing it from her mother and Jonah.

Ghidorah, detecting the ORCA, had landed in Boston and began to attack Madison. Just before he could obliterate her with his gravity beams, he was struck and knocked off his feet by a blast of Godzilla's atomic breath. Godzilla came ashore in Boston accompanied by a full military escort, ready for a final battle with his ancient nemesis. Godzilla and Ghidorah charged at each other and began their fighting. Stanton observed that the radiation Godzilla absorbed from the blast had begun to reach critical levels, meaning that he would explode like an atomic bomb in 12 minutes. Two Ospreys were deployed from the Argo to try and locate Madison and the ORCA while Godzilla and Ghidorah clashed. Ghidorah used his heads to restrain Godzilla and pin him to the ground, but Godzilla forced him off with his atomic breath. As the monsters' battle continued, Mothra arrived to support Godzilla and pinned Ghidorah's heads against a nearby building with her silk. Godzilla lunged at Ghidorah and tackled him through the building. As Godzilla prepared to attack his fallen enemy, Ghidorah called out to Rodan for support, prompting the winged Titan to appear and intercept Mothra so that he can take her out of the fight. While Mothra and Rodan dueled in the sky, Godzilla and Ghidorah continued their struggle on the ground.

Ghidorah bit down on a nearby power substation and absorbed the electricity, projecting it from his wings in an attack that temporarily incapacitates Godzilla. Ghidorah then leaped at Godzilla and grabbed him in his claws before lifting him into the air. Ghidorah wrapped his middle neck around Godzilla's throat and strangled him until he went limp, then flew above the clouds before releasing Godzilla. Godzilla plummeted back to the ground, producing a blue explosion upon striking it. With Godzilla immobilized and injured, Ghidorah landed in front of him and prepared to finish him. However, a wounded Mothra crawled weakly onto Godzilla's body and shielded him from Ghidorah. She then flew directly at Ghidorah, who vaporized her with his gravity beams. Mothra's energy flowed into Godzilla, causing his skin to form glowing red cracks while he mourns over the death of his friend. Ghidorah bit down on Godzilla and lifted him, draining his atomic energy through his bite. However, Emma, Madison and Mark were able to reactivate the ORCA and draw Ghidorah away from Godzilla.

Ghidorah pursued the ORCA, which Emma transported in a jeep, finally destroying the vehicle with a blast of his gravity beams. As Emma lay wounded on the ground, she looked up at Ghidorah as he prepared to kill her and defiantly declared her last words "Long live the king" before eventually dying from her injuries. Ghidorah suddenly sensed something behind him and turned around to see Godzilla approaching, now covered in glowing bright orange patterns and emitting heat that melted everything around him. Godzilla's dorsal fins sparked and glowed before he launched forward a nuclear pulse shaped like Mothra's wings and making the sound of her shriek. This pulse incinerated the flesh of Ghidorah's wings as he tried to shield his heads from the blast. Wounded, Ghidorah tries to fight back with his gravity beams which seemed to not even affect Godzilla. Godzilla emitted a second nuclear pulse which disintegrated Ghidorah's left and right heads, leaving the middle head remaining. Ghidorah fell to the ground as Godzilla stomped on his chest just before the nuclear energy inside of him exploded. Boston was consumed by a ginormous explosion, and when the smoke cleared neither monster was visible.

After a few moments, Ghidorah's still-living burned head emerged from the rubble, followed by Godzilla, who was carrying the severed head in his jaws. After a huge struggle as Godzilla thrashes the head around, he then fired his atomic breath which incinerated the head, finally destroying Ghidorah for good. While victorious over Ghidorah and having avenged Mothra, Godzilla was soon cornered by the other Titans Ghidorah had awakened: Methuselah, Behemoth, Scylla, and a new female MUTO. Rodan, having survived being impaled by Mothra's stinger earlier, approached Godzilla and confronted him. However, Godzilla only responded by giving Rodan a stern look and snorted at him, causing the flying Titan to instantly reconsider his actions and submit to him. The other Titans each followed suit, all "bowing" to the new King of the Monsters.

In the aftermath of the battle, Godzilla kept the other Titans in check and prevented them from attacking human cities. Under Godzilla's leadership, many of the stray Titans began congregating at Skull Island, which had recently become affected by seismic disturbances.
