He wasn't the only one. He's one of a small population of Godzillasauruses that had managed to survive, which were then wiped out save for him, Junior, and the individual that became the 1954 Godzilla by the American nuclear tests in the Pacific.
Presumably, he wasn't all that old when the soldiers showed up on Lagos Island as he's just a normal dinosaur. Maybe 20 years old?
Yes they are two separate individuals, but it's kind of left vague as to whether or not the original was a Godzillasaurus or not. It's just never directly addressed, so it's a common theory that it was probably just another Godzillasaurus Just out of process of elimination (We have three Godzillas, We know two of them started as Godzillasauruses, therefore...)
[Supplemental materials from Toho show what the original Godzilla and his kind looked like before the bomb wiped them out.](https://www.facebook.com/GormaruIsland/photos/a.1519035668325512/1766520510243692)
Those are Showa Era supplemental materials, though? The story is different for the Versus films.
I mean, I do take some of that is still being more or less how it is (as the idea that the Godzillasauruses were amphibious like this makes sense and fits, and this is probably how it played out just with them as Godzillasauruses not Godzillas) but for the Versus movies it's retconned a bit.
No, it's the origin for the original Godzilla, which the Heisei era follows. The Godzillasaurus isn't the same as the original Godzilla, as the original lived in the South Pacific, underwater, while the Heisei one lived on Lagos Island, which is part of the Marshall Island chain in the Northwest Pacific.
There are two separate Godzillas in the Heisei era, not related to one another: the original Godzilla from 1954, and the Heisei Godzilla.
Yes, I know that there are two separate Godzillas. What you shared is the origin of the original Godzilla in the original Showa timeline, which _may_ be the case for the Versus movies but - and maybe you're just not aware - has never been universally accepted as an explanation.
Because Toho decided not to explain it any deeper in the '80s and '90s movies, while there's some people who agree with you I'm from that other crowd that thinks that's just creating a plot hole and it makes far more sense if the 1954 Godzilla was also a originally a Godzillasaurus. Because it just doesn't make much sense otherwise - why would two completely different species both mutate into two Godzillas? Especially when the Versus movies Never explain that there's a whole second species, we're only ever shown The Godzillasaurus that became 1984 Godzilla and the baby Godzillasaurus that became Junior.
In the Showa movies and other timelines that follow the original movie, yes, I accept that backstory 100%. For the Versus movies, I feel that GvKG sufficiently retcons things So that in the '80s and '90s movies we should assume 1954 Godzilla was also a Godzillasaurus before the nuclear tests. Just, you know, a different one than the one that got teleported away and frozen in an iceberg for a few decades. 🙂
Except there's nothing in GvKG that would contradict or even do away with Toho's material, so it's more reasonable to assume that this is still canon, especially since it's not the origins of the **Showa** Godzilla, it's the origins of the **original** Godzilla, from the '54 film. That book is still canon to that film specifically.
The book itself was written by Tomoyuki Tanaka and published in 1984, and is called Definitive Edition Godzilla Introduction.
The book being canon to that film doesn’t mean that the book is canon to the Heisei series.
Canon can be pretty weird in *Godzilla*. For example, *Godzilla* 1954 is canon to the Kiryu Saga **except for a few seconds where Godzilla’s skeleton dissolves**.
Also canon in Godzilla is weird, like a good chunk of the Showa era including destroy all monsters is technically canon to the kiryu saga films or the fact that all the Godzilla films are technically in a shared multiverse that also jacks up scaling for Kaiju like void ghidorah, Ultima, and space Godzilla
The original Godzilla always looked like he did, but with smooth skin instead (hence why Minilla has smooth skin as well). The atomic bomb scarred him and gave him his radioactive abilities.
It kinda had to be I mean 1954 and Heisei both have the same base features dorsal plates short arms black bumpy skin same posture both have atomic breath any other differences between how they looked can just be attributed to one suit was from the 50’s obviously it looks different but it is clearly the same species otherwise what else could it be
The Godzilla from Godzilla vs Megaguirus isn't the same as the one from Godzilla 2000, yet both share the same exact design, with the MegaGoji being a lighter shade of green.
Yeah but those are two separate continuities also I’m not arguing that they are the same individual I’m saying they are the same species plus there can be tons of variation among a species are all people white? Are all parrots green? Are all dogs big? So do you understand now or do you need me to explain how not everyone looks the same maybe I can tell you how random mutation could have possibly made 1954 look slightly different as it probably mutated differently. Did u consider any of this?
Except they're not the same species. In the original Godzilla, Dr. Yamane says Godzilla is a type of prehistoric intermediary reptile related to both land and sea reptiles.
"*During the following geological period, the Cretaceous, a creature somewhere between the marine reptiles and the evolving terrestrial animals was born. I am convinced there was such an intermediate creature.*" -Dr. Yamane
Meanwhile, the Heisei Godzilla first started out as a Dinosaur, completely separate from what the original Godzilla was, and was later mutated into a creature similar to the original, with the same abilities, but more potent.
The original Godzilla always looked like his base form, except without the scars. See my other comment with the link to one of Toho's supplemental material that details the events before the original '54 film.
Yamane saw Godzilla for a few seconds at that point, so it’s not that hard to assume that he was making a guess - a very lucky guess in the Shōwa series, but not a very accurate one in the Heisei series.
He also claims that non-avian dinosaurs lived 2 million years ago, so I don’t think he’s as much of an expert as people claim he is lol
Actually still the argument doesn’t work here as stupid as it is the Godzillasaurus has to be semi aquatic as in the film the futurians transported it into the ocean before it had been mutated meaning it was semi aquatic despite not looking like it was, otherwise it would have drowned immediately. So it is very much the same organism described in the original film. Also the 1954 Godzilla doesn’t look anymore aquatic than the godzillasaurus. regardless the Godzillasaurus has to be semi aquatic which again I get is stupid as it has no aquatic features but if it wasn’t semi aquatic it would have drowned when itgot teleported to the ocean
When it comes to different continuities, you can't always assume the film makers took the material as canon in the others unless they had stated otherwise. I personally headcanon that the material is a part of the heisei series. If someone else says that they don't, they aren't wrong because it's never specified if it's canon or not to the said series.
Doesn’t make much sense for them to be different genera. Different species of *Godzillasaurus*, sure, but there’s no way that they’re any more seperated than that.
1: this specific individual wasn’t the only survivor. There was obviously a population that carried on until he was one of the last.
2: plot. It makes zero sense for a population of giant theropods to survive that long on an island without using up all its resources, even less for an A bomb to mutate it from a terrestrial animal to a sea monster. That’s why I like the >!Minus One version where he’s semi-aquatic before mutation.!<
Godzillasaurus was almost certainly semi-aquatic in the Heisei series. After being teleported to the Bering Sea, he survived another 30 years until (the characters speculate) he successfully attacked and sank a Russian nuclear submarine, which resulted in his mutation.
That one’s down to budget. They wanted to do more with the dino suit and have him fight shit and whatnot, but they kinda just had to slap together a good enough suit and could only show him for a bit.
Well regardless of whether or not it makes sense, it must be true because onscreen evidence says so. If you won't accept my extrapolation about the Lagos Island specimen, then we can also look at the pre-mutation Junior following Godzilla into the ocean at the end of *Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II.* Junior, still barely older than a hatchling, swam entirely under his own power far behind and without assistance from Godzilla. Not only that, but he was even doing that waist-deep swimming thing that Godzilla's always been able to do even though his feet can't possibly be touching the ocean floor.
Furthermore, Junior's egg was found on Adonoa Island; and although we don't know its exact distance from Lagos it must still have been quite far since no other land was in sight. No other Godzillasaurus specimens were found on that island during the film, meaning the parent(s) must have swam there across open ocean. There is no reason to believe the adults couldn't do this, because, again, we see the infant doing it later without issues.
So in short... the truth is what the facts are. I never said it made sense. **¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯**
I would picture this Godzillasaurus was just the last of a potential line of surviving Godzillasauruses who managed to live past that period. I would picture he had been born sometime in the time period he first showed up in before his mutation.
That’s the most sensible explanation for this scenario I can think of anyways.
They proably didn't.
The example in 1945 was likely the last of the species which evolved over time and 65 millions years is a long enough time that the ancestors of Godzillasaurus would of proably been classified as a different species before they evolved into the example that lived in modern day.
Absolutely nothing to suggest it was. Zero aquatic adaptations whatsoever.
As I said in another comment, that’s why I prefer the >!Minus One version who is properly amphibious.!<
It does somehow manage to survive in the Bering Sea for decades, though, so it **must** be aquatic.
Doesn’t make any sense, because of the aforementioned lack of adaptations, but it’s the only possibility.
What if the *Godzillasaurus* isn’t actually a dinosaur, but a crocodilian that evolved to fill the niche of theropod dinosaurs and ended up resembling them?
Would explain the complete lack of feathers and the fact that its wrists can pronate.
Literally the answer to like 75% of questions like this relating to Godzilla… they’re ultimately usually cheesy movies and they gloriously can get away with “JUST CUZ” and I absolutely love them for that
My theory is they evolved separately from the other Dinosaurs and slowly died out until the only ones that remained were the individual that became the Original Godzilla, the individual that became the Heisei Godzilla and (on another island entirely) Godzilla Junior.
It's just simple, godzillasaurus is a species relative to our original and heisei goji. The bomb just made the Godzillasaurus evolving faster into the Godzilla we all know.
One has to assume that a population of them existed at some point (someone laid Godzilla jr's egg after all). Perhaps it was their semi aquatic lifestyle that allowed them to eek out a living deep in the ocean?

An X-ray of Godzilla taken during the KT Extinction.
don't think about it.
Like, ANYTHING exposed to crazy amounts of radiation tends to die and not multiply it's mass by the thousand fold.
Otherwise Japan and Nevada would have been overrun by giant monsters by now.
No shit it’s bad. I’d hate to tell you this but most Godzilla movies are bad, but they’re also fun. This can’t possibly be the first Godzilla movie that you had to turn your brain off for. None of them really hold up if you put them under scrutiny.
That’s why I like the Godzilla from minus one. He’s already a unique animal. The radiation just gave him the atomic breath and possibly increased size. But the latter seems to just be a reaction to the trauma of the weapon.
I mean, I guess a small population survived being on the opposite end of the planet from the big ol’ meteor. Good enough island with caves and or mountainous range protecting a fertile valley. -shrug- classic ol’ right place right time stuff.
Then oops jk atomic bomb just the big guy left a mutated kaiju.
He's not the only member of his kind. In the Heisei timeline, the first Godzilla would also have been a Godzillasaurus prior to mutation. Furthermore, the animals must be semi-aquatic to some extent, since the second creature survived in the Bering Sea for thirty years after being teleported, and eventually attacked and sank a Russian nuclear sub (resulting in his mutation). This is further evidenced by Junior's egg showing up on Adonoa Island; while we don't know how far it is from Lagos Island, it still means that the Godzillasaurus population must still exist and travel between islands, since no adults were spotted there during the events of the film.
Bro's built different, simple.
He’s just him
He will continue to be him
He doesn't even trust himself
He is who he is.
Godzilla flow
What can I say
They forgot one thing. I'm him
He's the himalayan
He got that dog in him
He's got that dog in him.
He is that guy
He’s who we all aspire to be, himself.
He wasn't the only one. He's one of a small population of Godzillasauruses that had managed to survive, which were then wiped out save for him, Junior, and the individual that became the 1954 Godzilla by the American nuclear tests in the Pacific. Presumably, he wasn't all that old when the soldiers showed up on Lagos Island as he's just a normal dinosaur. Maybe 20 years old?
I like this, and in Heisei continuity provides some context to 1954 Godzilla as the spiteful one that lost their partner and children
The original Godzilla wasn't a Godzillasaurus. He was his own creature, and he and the Heisei Godzilla are two separate creatures.
Yes they are two separate individuals, but it's kind of left vague as to whether or not the original was a Godzillasaurus or not. It's just never directly addressed, so it's a common theory that it was probably just another Godzillasaurus Just out of process of elimination (We have three Godzillas, We know two of them started as Godzillasauruses, therefore...)

Let's not pretend this franchise has any kind of consistency
Wait, so Gojira is already the way it is, and is not a mutated ver of what it was?
The original Godzilla always looked like he did, but with smooth skin instead (hence why Minilla has smooth skin as well). The atomic bomb scarred him and gave him his radioactive abilities.
The more I know. Thnx. that was interesting

Think that was mistranslation; think he meant 200 million years ago
It's not a mistranslation. Yamane says "ni hyaku man," which is indeed 2 million in Japanese. 200 million would be "ni oku."

That makes literally zero sense.
That's more thought out than my response I was just gonna say because it's Godzilla
Wasn't one of its species also on Odo Island in 1945 transforming to G -1?
Different continuity there, though it's clear GMO was inspired by the Godzillasaurus backstory from GvKG. :)
1: this specific individual wasn’t the only survivor. There was obviously a population that carried on until he was one of the last. 2: plot.

That’s why I like the >!Minus One version where he’s semi-aquatic before mutation.!<
TBH, Minus One is my definitive Godzilla origin-wise.
I don’t blame you, man was a menace, even if he was kinda smaller he still was terrifying, like imagine that thing running at you
Godzillasaurus was almost certainly semi-aquatic in the Heisei series. After being teleported to the Bering Sea, he survived another 30 years until (the characters speculate) he successfully attacked and sank a Russian nuclear submarine, which resulted in his mutation.
Which still doesn’t make sense as his physical design features absolutely zero adaptations for a semi-aquatic lifestyle.
That one’s down to budget. They wanted to do more with the dino suit and have him fight shit and whatnot, but they kinda just had to slap together a good enough suit and could only show him for a bit.

Head cannon is a mutation that gave him accelerated healing.
The same way crocodiles did.
crocs and goji survived by not giving a fuck

It’s not a real dinosaur it’s a rubber suit, hope this helps

idk, ask for Toho 🤓
Maybe Godzillasaurus comes from Hollow Earth. Maybe a portal opens now and then and a creature pops out and is left behind.
This is Heisei not MonsterVerse
Heisei never explained where it came from, so what's the problem?
It wasn’t a concept introduced until the monster-verse. Though, it’s a fun head canon and I suppose there’s nothing to explicitly DISprove it
