The many stories of the legendary force of nature Godzilla, also known in Japanese as Gojira, from the titular Godzilla franchise.
Origin Story[]
Over the years, Godzilla's origin has been rewritten at least 5 times. However, the only thing that remained consistent was his eventual transformation into a nuclear-enhanced reptilian kaiju.
Showa Era[]
Dr. Yamane stated that Godzilla was an amphibious reptile from prehistoric times that had his habitat destroyed by an American H-bomb test, which not only killed his family, but also mutated him into a 50 meter kaiju. Consumed by grief and rage over the death of his companions, Godzilla used his newfound powers to destroy humanity and avenge his family until Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer ultimately killed him. Though this Godzilla did indeed die, Dr. Yamane feared that nuclear weaponry would've inevitably created another Godzilla. His fears turned into reality when a second Godzilla emerged one year later.
In the Millennium series, the original Godzilla had a greater impact as an overarching antagonist than in the Heisei and Showa eras as:
- In Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monster All-Out Attack, the original Godzilla's terror was largely forgotten and became myth among Japanese populace. This didn't prevent JSDF officials, Taizo Tachibana included, who prepared for every possiblity which further motivated by appearances of other kaijus. Unfortunately, neither of them were fully prepared when another Godzilla showed up as a literal embodiment of vengeance imbued with souls of those who perished during World War II aiming to punish the nation for forgetting its sordid past.
- In Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, the first Godzilla's skeletal remains were used to create Kiryu (the third MechaGodzilla), for the purpose of combating a second Godzilla. As its creation also involved using the first Godzilla's DNA to enhance Kiryu's movements, Godzilla's memories were unexpectedly integrated into its programming and made it go berserk whenever the second Godzilla roared in pain.
Heisei Era[]
In the Heisei era, the species that Godzilla originally was prior to his mutation was re-established as Godzillasaurus, a huge dinosaur mutated by nuclear tests performed on a nearby island called Rongerik in the 1950s. In Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, the Futurians tried to prevent this by removing the Godzillasaurus away from Lagos Island and frozen him in the Bering Sea, only for him to actually become Godzilla by being mutated by a crashed nuclear submarine. It was revealed that the Godzilla the Futurians tried to erase from history and 1954 Godzilla are separate individuals, true to Dr. Yamane's fear that other prehistoric beasts may have survived to the present day and could be transformed into nuclear-enhanced kaiju by nuclear tests.
MonsterVerse series[]
While his previous incarnations were mutated into nuclear-enhanced kaiju by nuclear testing, the MonsterVerse incarnation of Godzilla came from a species of prehistoric amphibious reptiles known as Titanus Gojira that naturally evolved to consume natural radiation during the Permian period. During the Permian period, Earth was more radioactive than it was today. Because of it, Godzilla's physiology allowed him to manipulate the nuclear energy within him to fire a beam of atomic energy. Novelization of Godzilla vs. Kong suggested that Godzilla's species would attain their fuel potential via. exposure to certain radiation only found in Hollow Earth
There, his species were the absolute strongest predators of the ancient world. The realm changed forever, however, when the Permian-Triassic extinction event wiped out 95% of all life. With the radioactivity of Earth vastly diminished, Godzilla retreated closer to the Earth’s core to absorb radiation from there. Over the course of the next couple hundred million years, Godzilla emerged many times during history, becoming a figure in various cultures around the world as a towering and powerful monster.
In 1954, Godzilla was awakened by humanity's nuclear submarine and out of curiosity, caused it to crash. This motivated humanity to study him, while researching methods to kill him by using nuclear weaponry under the guise of the Castle Bravo tests. Though Godzilla was not killed by these tests, he gained awareness of humanity's presence and Godzilla returned to the depths of the Earth, believed to be dead by humanity.
Reiwa Era[]
Reiwa Era saw explorations of different origin story for Godzilla n addition of reimagining that of his 1954 iteration.
Godzilla: Resurgence[]
In Godzilla: Resurgence, Godzilla was proposed to have evolved from a prehistoric marine animal that was surrounded by nuclear waste at the seafloor during the 1950s and rapidly adapted to withstand it. As the creature evolved and began feeding on radioactive materials, it gradually grew over a period of 60 years before taking on a form capable of moving around on land. After coming ashore, the creature evolved further as means of adjusting its physiology until it sprouted arms and adopted an upright stance.
An essay included in The Art of Shin Godzilla theorizes that Godzilla's original form must have possessed large claws and fangs to feed on the canisters of radioactive waste. This was supported by damaged canisters uncovered from the bottom of the sea, as most of those canisters had been partially chewed and bitten by a reptilian creature bigger than a shark. The essay also theorizes that the creature must have spent its entire life underwater and its species was closely related to prehistoric marine reptiles which first emerged in the Paleozoic Era, whose physiology was more ancient than that of the Heisei Godzillasauruses.
Godzilla Anime trilogy[]
Rather than being an irradiated prehistoric reptile or marine creature, promotional materials state this incarnation of Godzilla was the ultimate product of evolution on Earth and originated as a plant that acquired new abilities via horizontal gene transfer. While he was still portrayed as a radioactive kaiju due to giving off radioactive pollutants, he was also endowed with electromagnetic abilities that allowed him to produce powerful electromagnetic pulses.
GEMSTONE Shorts[]
While it has yet to be confirmed whether this Godzilla and Godzilla Junior are one in the same, GEMSTONE Shorts Godzilla is stated to involve in an epic battle which ensured years of peace. He eventually returns in response of Gigan Rex's invasion at Tokyo.
Godzilla: Singular Point[]
While Godzilla's origin is a mystery, it seems that he is a extradimensional Lovecraftian entity being with god-like status that is able to manifest into earth's dimension as a large dinosaur-like creature. He was worshipped in feudal times as a god of destruction, and is connected to the mysterious reality-warping substance called Archetype, which it radiates from his body in the form of red dust.
Godzilla: Minus One[]
Godzilla's origin story combines elements of 1954 iteration as well as Heisei one. Here, he is originally a marine theropod akin to Godzillasaurus from Heisei series yet adapts amphibious lifestyle not unlike amphibious reptile mentioned 1954 film.
Toho Company Ltd. Godzilla Movies[]
Showa Era (1954-1975)[]
The Showa Godzilla films were among the first of the entire film series. In total, there are fifteen Showa films, amounting to over half the total Godzilla movies currently in existence. The first film, made in 1954, was simply titled Godzilla. In the original film, Godzilla was portrayed as a terrifying, destructive monster. Following the success of Godzilla, Toho started filming a quickie sequel called Godzilla Raids Again. In this film, a new Godzilla was set up to fight another dinosaur-like creature, Anguirus. This second film started a trend for Godzilla films, where Godzilla would fight other giant monsters. In the 1962 film King Kong vs. Godzilla, Godzilla battles King Kong, and ends on a draw. In the film Mothra vs. Godzilla, Godzilla battles Mothra, killing her, and then her two offspring, only to be cocooned in webbing by them and defeated.
In his fifth film, Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, Godzilla took the role of a hero. From that point on to the end of the Showa series, Godzilla stayed a hero, protecting Japan against attacks from other monsters, aliens, etc. At one point, Godzilla even adopted a son, Minilla, in Son of Godzilla, who would make appearances in later Showa films. The Showa movies played on a lot of fears and interests of people during the period in which they were made. For instance, the original Godzilla film was a movie designed to warn people about the use and testing of nuclear weapons. Likewise, Godzilla vs. Hedorah was designed to carry a message about the dangers of pollution. As space exploration and the Space Age were extremely popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s, many of Godzilla's films revolved around Godzilla fighting alien monsters or involved an alien invasion in some shape or form. For instance, in the movie Destroy All Monsters, an alien race had managed to take control of all of Earth's monsters, who were eventually freed from their control, and destroyed the aliens who had put them under control.
Godzilla serves as the titular main antagonist of Godzilla, Godzilla Raids Again, King Kong vs. Godzilla, and Mothra vs. Godzilla.
Heisei Era (1984-1995)[]
The Heisei Godzilla films were the second of the film series. In total, there were seven Heisei films, making them amount to one-fourth of the total Godzilla movies in existence. The Heisei films differed drastically from the Showa films in a variety of ways. The most prominent difference is that Toho did away with Godzilla being the hero of the films. While occasionally Godzilla would take the role of an anti-hero, he was still consistently portrayed as hazardous to humanity throughout the films. The Godzilla outfit was updated to look more realistic and much more intimidating than previous suits. Another significant difference is that the series was given an overall plotline with story arcs. Each movie happened in some sort of sequence, and generally referenced previous movies to further the plot of the series. As in the Showa era, in the first Godzilla movie of the Heisei era, The Return of Godzilla, Godzilla was the only monster to make an appearance. All succeeding Heisei movies would have Godzilla fight other giant monsters.
Like the Showa series, Godzilla adopted a son, Baby Godzilla, as his own child. In the final Heisei movie, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Godzilla dies after undergoing a nuclear meltdown, and his son (by that point almost half as tall as his father and called Godzilla Junior) absorbs the radiation and quickly matures to become the new King of the Monsters. In much the same way that the Showa played on fears and interests of people during the time period of production, Heisei Godzilla films made some attempts at making statements on popular topics for their time period. One good example would be Godzilla vs. Biollante, which made explicit warnings against research involving genetic engineering. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah touched on US-Japanese relations stemming from World War II and introduced a time-travel plot. Other themes in the movies included commenting on research into hazardous material and making environmental statements. He serves as the main antagonist of The Return Of Godzilla & Godzilla vs. Mothra. He was the main antagonist of the second half of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and a supporting antagonist in Godzilla vs. Biollante.
Millennium Era (1999-2004)[]
The Millennium era of Godzilla films are the third of the film series. There are six of these films, making them slightly under a fourth the total of the series. The Millennium series attempted to bring Godzilla back to his roots by eliminating a few of the things that the Heisei films had done. The most notable of these changes are, with one exception, the lack of any real continuity in the movies. Godzilla is, however, still a hazard in the Millennium series and is always a destructive force. He serves as the main antagonist of Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.
Reiwa Era (2016-present)[]
Shin Godzilla[]
The Reiwa era starts with the 2016 film Shin Godzilla (also known as Godzilla: Resurgence outside of Japan). The film was written and directed by Hideaki Anno with special effects by Shinji Higuchi. Godzilla served as the main antagonist of the film. The film was released in Japanese theaters on July 29, 2016. It will not be connected to the MonsterVerse series, marking the first time two individual Godzilla film series have been in progress at the same time. The film is notable for its use of "hybrid" special effects, a combination of traditional tokusatsu effects techniques and CGI. It is also the first Toho Godzilla movie to have no connections with the original 1954 film whatsoever.
In the 1950s, when humanity dumped their nuclear waste into the ocean, they unknowingly poured the waste around a prehistoric marine animal in its habitat that happened to be within the site where nuclear waste being dumped at. As a result, the creature, who later becomes Godzilla, irradiated by the waste, and mutates where he rapidly adapted to withstand it. As the Godzilla evolved and began feeding on radioactive material, he gradually grew over a period of 60 years, and eventually, become the nuclear-powered kaiju that began to approach the mainland.
When the Japanese coast guard investigated a small yacht floating in Tokyo Bay, it discovered that the craft was completely abandoned with no sign of a struggle or the owner's whereabouts. Suddenly, the water began to erupt and steam, causing the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line to collapse and become flooded by a strange red liquid. The Japanese government concluded that the disaster was due to an underwater volcanic eruption, but assistant cabinet secretary Rando Yaguchi proposed the incident was caused by a gigantic living creature. Yaguchi's claims were dismissed until a huge tail breaking the ocean surface not far from Tokyo Bay. The government assured the citizens that the creature would not surface, only for it crawl out of the bay and into Tokyo with it's evolved form that enables it to walk on land. Stumbling around on its hind legs and pushing itself forward with its tail, the monster destroyed everything in its path while secreting the red liquid from its gills and pouring it onto the streets. The Prime Minister deployed a squadron of helicopters to attack the beast, but when they approached, the monster suddenly evolved again, where the evolution enables it to stood up on two enlarged legs and sprouted arms. The attack was called off when the Prime Minister learned civilians were still evacuating the area, while the still-evolving monster, whom for an unknown reason, sprints off for the ocean.
Kayoko Ann Patterson, the representative of the American ambassador, revealed that the abandoned yacht at Tokyo Bay belonged to a zoologist named Goro Maki, who was researching a huge living creature moving on the seafloor that he named "Gojira" after a legend in his hometown on Odo Island. The said living creature is the same Kaiju that attacked Tokyo earlier. His research later learned by the American Department of Energy whom dubbed the monster "Godzilla" instead. Based on this information, the researchers concluded that Godzilla was feeding on nuclear waste on the seafloor, and sustained himself through nuclear fission in his body that explained how he leaves a trail of radiation in his wake during the rampage in Tokyo, but also made him overheat and forced him to return to the ocean to cool off just as he evolved to the point of sprouted developing arms and having his legs enlarged for better locomotion.
Godzilla once again emerged shortly afterward at Kamakura, with new, better form after cooling himself off in the ocean. The J.S.D.F. scrambled its forces to engage Godzilla, with the Prime Minister finally giving the order to fire. Unfortunately, the J.S.D.F.'s weaponry had absolutely no effect on Godzilla thanks to the kaiju's nigh-impenetrable hide. Godzilla himself, on the other hand, ignore the assault and proceed to Tokyo due to him not seeing them as a threat, right toward the government's current meeting location. Once Prime Minister allowed United States to deployed several B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers, however, that was the moment Godzilla decided to fight back: Their bombs successfully penetrate and injured his hide, enraging him that he released his atomic breath that also obliterating three districts of Tokyo. The stray atomic breath unexpectedly downing the helicopter holding the Prime Minister and the high-ranking government officials. After expending such a huge amount of energy from counterattack, Godzilla stopped moving and entered a state of hibernation.
The attempt to study his physiology by both Japanese and American forces once he becomes incapacitated proved difficult with nuclear radiation that emitted from his body would be threatened to damage their equipment should they went too close. At the same time, Yaguchi and the other members of his research team uncovered the rest of the zoologist's research on Godzilla's physiology. The combined research led to the conclusion that Godzilla expelled so much radiation (which worsened with him exhausted his powers) that he would be unable to move again for approximately fifteen days. It was also determined that Godzilla came about as a result of prehistoric marine animal feeding on nuclear waste on the seafloor evolving into a superorganism he has become now. Aside from nuclear fission in his body that becomes a source of his powers, Godzilla is capable to survive as long as air and water are available as additional sustenance for his survival. Also, due to nature of his creation, Godzilla's healing factor was so potent that not only he able to regenerate his wounds in an instant, but any pieces of his flesh that broken off from his body (whether it was due to injuries from his enemies' attack or self-mutilation) can continue to live on their own and evolve and regenerate into entire creatures in the same manner with starfishes, becoming new Godzillas. In this scenario, Earth could be overrun by rapidly-evolving progenies of Godzilla if Godzilla himself was not stopped.
The UN, headed by the US government and unaware of this weakness, informs Japan that the use of thermonuclear weapons against Godzilla is inevitable after learned the Godzilla's physiology. Unwilling to see nuclear weapons detonated in Japan again, Patterson decides to use her political connections to buy Yaguchi's team as much time as possible to finish the better plan in handling the kaiju, even if it puts her own career at stake. Fortunately for her and Yaguchi, they discovered that Godzilla's blood and dorsal plates acted as a natural cooling system for his body. With it, Yaguchi had his team worked on a blood coagulant that would cause Godzilla to overheat and die as Patterson convinced the French government to make the U.S., China, and Russia to postpone the nuclear strike until the day Godzilla was to awaken.
On the day Godzilla was to awaken, Yaguchi officially began Operation Yashiori, the name given to his plan to use blood coagulant against Godzilla. To render Godzilla incapacitated once again, Yaguchi provoke Godzilla to waste his own energy with trains laden with explosives that sent to attack him. Predictably, Godzilla becomes enraged and retaliate by attacking the approaching enemies on sight with his atomic beams that fired from his back, mouth, and dorsal plates. Once Godzilla become weakened after realized that he wasted too much energy, skyscraper buildings near him detonated by Yaguchi's men, pinned him underground and render him helpless as the operatives force-fed Godzilla the blood coagulant. Realizing that the coagulant's effect would stop the blood flow in his body, Godzilla attempted to resist by fires his atomic breath on the trucks that fed him the coagulant before rose and continue the counterattack. Unfortunately, a small ounce of coagulant that entered Godzilla's body weakened him that allowed Yaguchi's team pinned him again with bombs that carried by unmanned trains and force-feed the kaiju with the whole remaining coagulant. Yaguchi's team believed Godzilla was defeated after they force-fed the kaiju with the rest of the coagulant, but Godzilla, with the last of his strengths, manipulate remaining nuclear energy in his body that made him freeze himself solid to prevent himself from overheating, leaving him in a state of suspended animation. In spite of his unexpected last resort defense to save his life, the operation was declared a success, and the American nuclear strike was called off. Scientists concluded that the half-life of Godzilla's radiation was only 20 days, allowing Tokyo to recover quickly from the nuclear fallout. The Americans warned that if Godzilla were to reawaken, they would not hesitate to use the H-bomb against him. Yaguchi, meanwhile, expressed his desire to rebuild the Japanese government to be better prepared to combat Godzilla should he reawaken.
As Godzilla stood frozen in the streets of Tokyo, several humanoid skeleton-like creatures with Godzilla's dorsal plates on their backs were seen sprouting from the end of his tail, reaching out to the sky. This indicated that when Godzilla reawakened, he would likely break into smaller, numerous Godzillas that had better and stronger forms.
Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters[]
The second film in the Reiwa series was Godzilla: Monster Planet (otherwise known as Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters), which was released in November 2017 in Japanese theaters and worldwide through Netflix. He also served as the overarching antagonist in Godzilla: Monster Planet, and the central antagonist in the second film, City at the Edge of Battle and the anti-heroic deuteragonist of the third film, The Planet Eater. Set in a post-apocalyptic world 20,000 years in the future, Godzilla and his progenies have dominated the Earth, leading the surviving humans, along with their alien allies the Exif and Bilusaldo, to clash against the kaiju forces in order to reclaim their planet. It was the first animated film of the franchise.
Once the humans finally destroyed Godzilla, one of them put forth a theory that the Godzilla they killed might not be the only one left on Earth, given that the 20,000 years that have passed should logically have allowed Godzilla to grow larger than the last time they saw him. Unfortunately, this was proven true as the original Godzilla, now standing at a whopping 318 meters tall (over 1000 feet), emerged from the ground, causing the survivors to stare in awe before attempting to evacuate. However, Godzilla proceeded to destroy their ships using his new abilities such as the Super Oscillatory Wave and his Plasma Cutter.
Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle[]
Godzilla Earth appears once again in the next installment. When the survivors discovered Mechagodzilla City, a gigantic hidden area that had been assimilated by Nanometal by the original Mechagodzilla’s head (whose body had been destroyed by Godzilla in the 21st Century), they decided to use its technology to set a trap for Godzilla and destroy him with a similar strategy to how they destroyed Filius. After making preparations, they proceeded to lure Godzilla to a gigantic hole within the city with three smaller robots called Vultures, where they proceeded to pour and harden some nanometal to trap him. They then proceeded to rapidly fire at him, tricking him into putting up his electromagnetic shield. When the shield went down, they proceeded to destroy his dorsal plates and fire several charged harpoons into his back, expecting him to blow up like Godzilla Filius did. However, Godzilla began to convert the excess energy into heat, causing him to become so hot that the surrounding area began to melt, along with the harpoons on his back.
With the Vultures unable to reach Godzilla due to the heat being dangerous to their pilots, the assimilated Bilusaludo aliens proposed another plan: the Vultures would dive into Godzilla to destroy him, but only after repairing another part that would be susceptible to heat. The statement turned out to mean assimilating their pilots with nanometal and integrating them into the City, with Haruo and Yuko refusing. However, while Haruo was immune due to the treatment given by the Houtua villagers, Yuko tried to resist and was almost killed. Haruo then faced a choice: go through with the plan and kill Godzilla, but let Mechagodzilla’s nanometal consume the Earth, or prevent Mechagodzilla’s spread and save Yuko, but let Godzilla live. With guidance from Metphies, Haruo ultimately decided to fire at the control center of the city, stopping the spread of the nanometal but freeing Godzilla. He then proceeded to destroy the rest of the city with two blasts, ending Mechagodzilla.
Godzilla: The Planet Eater[]
Godzilla returns in the final installment of the AniGoji trilogy as a lesser evil. When Ghidorah is summoned to destroy Earth, Godzilla awakens and tries to attack Ghidorah, who he perceives as a threat. However, he soon finds that none of his attacks are able to hit Ghidorah, but due to his reality-warping abilities, Ghidorah can hit him. Soon, Ghidorah circles around Godzilla and bites him, passing through his shield effortlessly and shocking him with electricity. Godzilla heats up again, trying to have Ghidorah release him, but the Lovecraftian god simply absorbs the energy. Godzilla then makes several futile attacks that simply pass through Ghidorah, leaving him in a one-sided fight.
When Haruo shatters the golden bead in Metphies’s eye that allows him to guide Ghidorah on Earth, Ghidorah releases Godzilla due to him losing his reality-warping abilities in this dimension. Godzilla then swipes at Ghidorah, finding that he can now make contact with him. Taking advantage of this, Godzilla proceeds to slice one of Ghidorah’s heads off with a Plasma Cutter, disintegrating it, ripping the jaw off of another head, and destroying the last head in a blast that also destroys the portal it came from. Godzilla then destroys the other two portals, finally ending the threat of Ghidorah.
Godzilla last appears when Haruo approaches him in the last Vulture with the comatose nanometal-infected Yuko, shouting at Godzilla to destroy him, Yuko and the Vulture so that Mechagodzilla or Ghidorah cannot use them again to come back. Godzilla obliges (though he most likely did not hear Haruo), blasting the Vulture into bits and making it crash beside him. It is inferred that after this, Godzilla did not seek out the remnants humanity anymore or he simply is unaware that they are still around. The surviving humans and the Houtua now treat Godzilla as a Necessary Evil, no worse than any natural disaster.
GEMSTONE Shorts[]
Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex[]
In this animated short, three Gigan Miles invade Tokyo a quarter of a century since Godzilla's fearsome battle there, drawing in the attention of Godzilla himself when JSDF failed to contain the invaders. He easily dispatches extraterrestrial cyborg kaijus, prompting the apparent leader of the invasion, Gigan Rex, to reveal himself and personally engage Godzilla.
A battle ensues with both kaijus evenly match in strength. When Godzilla blasts him with his atomic breath which Gigan Rex promptly blocks, the latter summons the rest of Gigan Miles from the space to overwhelm him with their circular saws. The battle escalates further with Godzilla evens the odds by unveiling an empowered state not unlike Burning Godzilla albeit with white hot cracks instead of yellowish one, repelling Gigan Miles swarm with enhanced Nuclear Pulse and blasted some with his enhanced atomic breath that also vaporized unfortunate buildings nearby. Undaunted, Gigan Rex rips his remaining Gigan Miles of their cores and uses them to empower himself. The fight culminates with both kaijus engaged in a catastrophic beam fight. Struggling at first, Godzilla begins to push his opponent back and eventually defeats the leader of Gigan Miles horde.
Godzilla vs. Megalon[]
Godzilla will make an appearance in the sequel combating Megalon.

TriStar Pictures remake[]
- Main article: Zilla
In 1998, TriStar Pictures produced a remake set in New York City, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Matthew Broderick; the film's name was simply 'Godzilla'. Despite negative reviews from film critics and negative reception from the fans of the original Japanese Godzilla, the film made over $379 million at the box office and spawned an animated television series called Godzilla: The Series, which drew much better reception all-around. However, the 1998 film was still a weak leak in the franchise and being a complete flop, all sequels were cancelled. Toho classifies the monster in this film as Zilla, and it was featured briefly in their film Godzilla: Final Wars. Makers of this film stated in cinematic magazine interviews that the American incarnation of the monster did not merit having "God" in his name. Zilla's roars were partly by Frank Welker.

Fall Guys[]
In the 2020 multiplayer party game Fall Guys, there exists two separate costumes released for Godzilla, naturally being the first two costumes released that represent his series. In particular, his original costume was released in November 2020, while a variant for the costume (based on his "Burning Godzilla" form in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah), was released in March of the following year.
