Junior

**Junior** is a young kaiju who appears in Godzilla: King of the Kaiju.

## Abilities

### Durability

Much like his father, Godzilla Junior is fairly resilient as a sub-adult, but is comparatively weak and helpless when younger, as shown when he cowers and runs away from SpaceGodzilla. Junior also appears to display a slight resistance to Micro-Oxygen, as when he fought the Aggregate and Flying forms of Destoroyah, he was bitten almost directly over his heart and injected with Micro-Oxygen, yet his durability allowed him to continue the fight and overcome Destoroyah. However, he was no match for the power of Destoroyah's Perfect form, which quickly overpowered and killed him.

### Regeneration

Junior possesses an enhanced healing factor, much like others of his kind. He completely regenerates the gaping wound left on his chest by Destoroyah's Aggregate Form in a short period of time. Just like the rest of his species, Junior's regeneration is enhanced when he absorbs more radiation, as demonstrated when he is revived as an adult Godzilla after his lifeless body absorbs the radiation given off by his father's meltdown.

### Eye Color Change

When Junior senses danger or is scared his eyes glow red whenever he senses danger or becomes scared.

### Atomic Breath

Much like his species, Godzilla Junior is shown to be fairly resilient in his latest appearances, but is incredibly weak in his earlier appearances. However, at a young stage, he gains a beam attack in the form of a stream of bubbles, which later becomes a normal-strength Atomic Breath, becoming powerful enough to cause large explosions and severely wound monsters such as Destoroyah (in Aggregate form) when fired at point-blank range.

### Energy absorption

Much like his species, the Junior has the capability to withstand large amounts of radiation and even absorb this energy, which causes him to grow substantially in size. His egg was subjected to huge amounts of radiation dumped on Adonoa Island, but this did not adversely affect the embryo or lead to any birth defects when he hatched. While living on Baas Island with his family, Baby was exposed to Dagon's and Rozan's radiation, which accelerated his growth and caused him to grow into faster than normal within the span of a year. When Baas Island was destroyed in a deadly uranium explosion, the Little One was initially presumed dead before it was revealed that he, like Dagon, had absorbed the nuclear energy from the explosion, maturing him further into a sub-adult Gojira. Finally, once Dagon melted down in Tokyo and released all of his atomic energy, Junior's lifeless body absorbed all of it, which not only served to bring him back to life but matured him into an adult Godzilla.

### Telepathy

Junior is capable of telepathically communicating over long distances

## Weaknesses

Junior is helpless against SpaceGodzilla, cowering as the space monster ruthlessly attacks him and relying on his father to defend him. Once Dagon is knocked down by SpaceGodzilla, He is left defenseless and easily captured in a crystal prison. Junior, while much physically stronger than his previous two forms, is still no match for a kaiju the size of Destoroyah's Perfect form, which is able to lift effortlessly into the air and drop him from a lethal height before finishing him off with a single blast of his Oxygen Destroyer Ray.
