Gojira

**Gojira** (ゴジラ, English name *Godzilla*), nicknamed "Jira" by Shimura, is one of the main characters in Boku no Kanojo wa Gojira. Jira is a kaiju, from Hollow Earth. Despite that she is 252 million years old, she looks 19. Many people from Monarch declares that Jira is a male, despite her appearance in monster form. However, her true gender is female.

Jira is also dubbed as Titanus Gojira, she is the Queen of the Monsters (Although she is titled 'King') alongside Mothra.

## Appearance

Jira has always resembled a colossal bipedal reptilian in her monster form that stands upright like a human. Jira's back is covered in three rows of maple leaf-shaped dorsal plates, and her skin is a charcoal grey colour.

In human form, Jira is a young lady with an average build and height, a curvy shape, and huge breasts, which she later reveals as the reason for its size. Jira wears a black tattered trench coat and a shirt that features a grey underbelly on her chest that exposes her stomach during fight. She also has a black bandage wrapped around her arm. She also wears her tail all the time, anyone would see as some kind of costume for a festival or some sorts. She has reptilian scales all around her body - notably on her back, arms and thighs.

While she is Shimura's private residence, Jira wears a white tank top that exposes her cleavage and stomach and wears denim shorts, which she sometimes unbuttons it that nearly revealed her groin.

## Personality

Before meeting Shimura, Jira takes up as a territorial animal. From the MonsterVerse movies, Ishiro Serizawa inferred that Jira is the driving force to restore the natural balance whenever this balance is broken, which shows that she basically believes that the entire earth is her territory. It seems that Jira initially does not like humans nor does she hate them, though she will stand shoulder to shoulder with humans against common threats. However, she has made no special effort to protect human life or property and will have human allies opposed to it on a whim. The first human that she had encountered and can have physical contact with was the late Ishiro Serizawa.

Jira has become a cheerful and optimistic kaiju girl and does not desire to fight with anyone unless necessary. Having said by Shimura that he'll feel bad if the government had taken her, he becomes her first human companion. Not only does she ever cared about Shimura, she also respects other humans whom she’s closest to. Likewise, she would always stand up to Shimura against anyone who tries to harm him. Although her tail is her most sensitive part, she does not flinch or shiver when she allows Shimura to lie down on her tail.

## History

### Background

Jira is a prehistoric amphibious reptile that lived during the Permian epoch and fed on radiation on the Earth's surface before vanishing deep underwater during the Permian catastrophe. In 1954, an American nuclear submarine reawakened her.

### Plot

Jira, before she reveals her human form to Shimura, has fought with many of her own kind in Hollow Earth, some to wipe out humanity.

### Godzilla (2014)

Gojira arrives in San Francisco after the presence of MUTO. Many of the humans there sees her as an enemy until she appears to save them after defeating MUTO.

### Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

Despite that she is dubbed as 'King of the Monsters', most humans see her as male. She had a difficult moment during this time while battling an invasive species, yet a false sovereign, Ghidorah. However, she is unable to face her alone without Mothra's help. She was on the brink of death after being injured by an Oxygen Destroyer while she was taking offence on Ghidorah. Eventually, she was revived by Serizawa, who sacrificed his life by initiating a nuke bomb. His sacrifice enables her to become much stronger than before, enabling her to go thermonuclear with the help of Mothra. She soon battles with Ghidorah and defeats her in Boston. With other kaijus around, they finally accepted her as King of the Monsters, while she and Mothra are actually Queen of the Monsters.

### Godzilla vs Kong

Jira doesn't seem to be hostile to the humans. However, she seems to be destroying everything that is in her path, especially Kong. The two fought one on one, which Jira overpowers Kong, injuring him, later revived. One human named Madison Russell, realizes that she wasn't attacking humans, but instead looking for an artificial 'kaiju' that tries to replace her. Soon as Mechagodzilla is awakened, Kong and Jira unite, defeating Mechagodzilla. The two then acknowledge each other as King and Queen, with Jira returning to Hollow Earth to reunite with her kind.

## Powers and Abilities

Jira has a variety of powers, so long as she has more radioactive energy.

* **Atomic Breath**
	+ Jira's atomic breath was more of a concentrated, fiery-shaped energy beam. As years go by, she begins to evolve, as mentioned by Ishiro Serizawa in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Her breath is much more powerful and beam-like in appearance, hinting that her breath isn't at full strength in Godzilla (2014) and may be much stronger when she's in better shape. Moments before and after she discharges the beam from her mouth, her eyes and various orifices surrounding her scales likewise light neon-blue. Her breath has grown more powerful. She used this to destroy many structures, as well as Kong. Her breath was so powerful that it enables her to drill through the Earth and into her home Hollow Earth.
* **Immortality**
	+ She is known to have lived on Earth for millions of years, despite that she looks like a 19 year-old in her human form.
* **Intelligence**
	+ Everytime in battle, Jira would always figure a way to find her enemies' weakness. In Godzilla vs Kong, she powers up Kong's axe by using her atomic breath in order to defeat Mechagodzilla.
* **Human shifter**
	+ Jira is known to carry a special DNA that enables her to transform into a human and into a monster whenever she wants.
* **Superhuman speed**
	+ She is able to swim incredibly fast underwater, sometimes using Hollow Earth's tunnels to travel from one location to another faster.

* **Thermonuclear**
	+ Jira has the ability to emit radioactive energy pulses. In the 2019 movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Jira begins to heat up with a blazing red glow after absorbing the radiation of a nuclear bomb and Mothra's life energy, scorching and melting things in his proximity while becoming entirely resistant to Ghidorah's gravity beams.

## Relationships

### Kouki Shimura

After Shimura saved Jira from her injuries, she fell in love with him. She has a sweet, gentle, and soothing tone when she speaks to him. She also offers to assist Shimura with any problems he may have, and she makes every effort to become Shimura's roommate in the hopes that Shimura will accept her as his girlfriend.

It is implied at the end of Chapter 13 that Shimura professed his feelings for her, resulting in the two kissing.

### Mothra

She and Mothra form a symbiotic relationship in which they trade life-force to obtain an advantage in fight. When she took Ghidorah's gravity rays, she managed to transmit every ounce of her life power to Jira in order to enhance her.

### Ishiro Serizawa

Though there is no interaction between them, Jira respects Serizawa for his heroic sacrifice while trying to revive her back in order to fight against Ghidorah.

### Shiro Takizawa

Jira did not show any hostility nor kindness, yet she demonstrates a neutral behaviour and sometimes flirtatious towards him.

### Kong

Initially, Jira hated Kong when they both fought for the first time when transporting Kong to Hollow Earth. After the two teamed up and defeat Mechagodzilla, they showed mutual respect for each other as a King and Queen of the Monsters.

### Hikari Mado

Hikari is Shimura's next door neighbour. She finds Jira an "awesome beast" as she was amazed by her powers and the ability to transform into her monster form. Jira would often come over to her apartment to give her homemade meals.

### Ghidorah

Jira and Ghidorah are both long-time rivals that the two had fought in many wars as told in myths. She soon meets Ghidorah once again, confused why she is alive. The two begins to fight until Jira revealed to her that she is the new alpha. Devastated, Ghidorah stopped fighting, feeling left out as an extraterrestrial kaiju. The two gradually became friends with her after having a change of heart and no longer being sworn enemies.
