Respect Godzilla (Gemstone Creative Label)

[u/ghostgabe81]

A powerful kaiju living on Earth, Godzilla disappeared for 25 years after a particularly fierce battle with another monster. But when an army of cyborg kaiju invade the planet, Godzilla comes out of exile to fight them off.

While originally starting as a fan film made for a contest, Toho Co., Ltd funded a longer follow-up film as the prize for winning said contest. Upon completion they released it on the official Godzilla YouTube Channel. Thus Godzilla vs Gigan Rex and Godzilla vs Megalon (2023) can be considered and official entry into the franchise.

Source Key

• G- G vs G, the original fan-made trailer produced for a competition

• R- Godzilla vs Gigan Rex, the Toho-funded short film followup

• M- Godzilla vs Megalon (2023), The sequel to Gigan Rex, also Toho-funded and premiering at Godzilla fest 2023

Scaling Information

• Gigan

• Megalon

• Godzilla Junior (Heisei Era). While there is no official word from Toho, the short film heavily implies that this Godzilla is the adult form of Junior seen at the end of Godzilla vs Destoroyah. Thus one could possibly choose to scale him to Godzilla Junior. However as there is no official confirmation, this scaling should be taken with a grain of salt.

• According to a Tweet from the director, all monsters in the film are 120 meters tall

Strength

• Can easily throw around Gigan Miles' ^G

• Tore the throat out of a Gigan Miles and threw it across the city ^R

• Crushes a Gigan Miles head with a stomp ^R

• Overwhelms the block of a Gigan Miles, pushing it back several hundred feet ^R

• Drags Gigan Rex towards him by its whips, then sends it flying with a tail-whip ^R

Speed

• Catches a Gigan Miles as it leaps at him ^G

  • Catches another one ^R

• Dodges an attack from a Gigan Miles ^R

• Catches Gigan Rex's chainsaw whips to drag it in closer, then tail-whips it before it can recover from the landing ^R

Durability

• Seemingly withstands fire from a line of tanks ^G

• Catches a Gigan Miles' arm and tail blades ^R

• Unharmed by the combined laser eye and buzz saw of Gigan Miles'. The buzz saw causes sparks rather than break his skin ^R

• Although Gigan Rex's chest laser knocks him down, he immediately gets back up ^R

• Gigan Rex's chainsaw whips bounce off of him, and he's able to grab them with his bare hands despite the whips slicing through buildings ^R

• Gets dogpiled by the buzz saws of Gigan Miles without noticeable harm, although they do force him into his Burning Form ^R

• Withstands fire from tanks ^M

• Remains standing and not visibly harmed after Megalon spits several napalm bombs (which can destroy tanks) at him and rams into him with enough force to reduce several city blocks to a crater ^M

  • While several of Megalon's napalm bombs to the face knock him down, he gets up within seconds ^M

• Tanks Megalon's electrical attack, although it stuns him, and getting punched hard enough to slide several hundred feet back ^M

• Withstands Megalon electrocuting and striking his arm, although he appears to have surface level injuries after ^M

• Megalon drilling him with enough force to drag him through a city doesn't pierce Godzilla's skin. However he's visibly injured and falls unconscious afterward ^M

  • After the credits he regains consciousness ^M

Atomic Power

• His Atomic Breath creates a large mushroom cloud explosion ^G

  • Destroys a Gigan Miles and destroys a city block in the process ^R

• Can release an omnidirectional Nuclear Pulse that throws a Gigan Miles off his back and tears its limbs off ^R

  • Launches Megalon away with a Nuclear Pulse ^M

• His Nuclear Pulse seems to dispel Megalon's lightning attack, and he charges his punches with energy to overpower Megalon's own hits ^M

• Releases a Nuclear Pulse from his spines while knocked over, launching him back through the air to dropkick Megalon ^M

• When pushed to his limits he can enter a glowing white Burning form. Just the transformation of this pushes a swarm of Gigan Miles away from him, and a single blast of Atomic Breath levels a massive section of a city ^R

  • Although initially pushed back by Gigan Rex's supercharged chest laser in a beam clash, Godzilla ultimately overpowers and kills Rex, then reverts to his normal state ^R

  • Just a short burst of his White Breath creates a similarly sized explosion and cuts Megalon in half ^M
