I agree, but I think it has multiple meanings. Female voice: the "humanity," alluding to the fate of Dr. Goro Maki, and its own will to simply not suffer Male voice: the "monster," it's will to live, spread, evolve out of its pain, and destroy what made it suffer.
@@TheEggHunterThats what makes shin godzilla so sad to watch .not because its referencing something tragic that happened but its captures that the animal doesnt want to kill anyone it just wants to have someone kill it
Most Godzilla's: *F U C K J A P A N* Legendary Godzilla: let's help humans, they give me Radium. Shin Godzilla: _I wear a void, not Even hope, a downward slope, is all i see..._
Most Godzilla: Sinful little sh*ts DIE Legend GZ: Order and Peace must be protected Shin GZ: I don't want to kill :( but I have to punish you, please free me, I'll kill you if you don't.
Godzilla 1954/1984: Oh god, put me out of my misery. Godzilla Heisei: I just want to live with my son Godzilla Millennium: Peace? Can I eat that? Godzilla Showa: **F U C K J A P A N**
I just love how both vocal represent Godzilla. One is his mind, is pure pain, he wants to die and he can't take it anymore pain. He's just in pain and don't know why. The other one is his body, his survival instinc saying "I know it hurts, but we need to live. I don't know why, but we need to carry on even if this pain is hellish, we need to evolve so this pain go away". Is a angel and a devil, nature and radiation. The creature and the god
*Shin only roars when he's in severe pain.* After learning that, I couldn't see this movie the same again. Knowing he's constantly in pain but can still have his limits where he can't handle it anymore that he screams. All i see is a creature that never asked to be born and cries for his misery to end.
1:44 absolute chills Now imagine you woke up on fire, but there is no fire. You run outside screaming in pain begging for help, but you're the last human so no help is coming and your only hope for peace is if the ants can get their shit together and put you out of your misery.
Isn't there a chemical that create actuall fireless fire? I remember something about racing fuel and racing crash that got that exact incident. Is horrfying
I just realised this song embodys shin "if i die in this world, who will know something of me?" refers to if he dies, he will only be a beast in the eyes of others that dont know his feelings,intentions, or thoughts. For it is just a monster.
Thats why i cant listen to the opera or watch that scene without crying 😭 Also Shin Godzilla doesn't attack until they make him bleed by dropping missiles on him. Shin made the ultimate decision to defend himself against the darkness (humans) in order to survive 😭
@@kennethcarloscomar6900 Mostly because of how THIS Godzilla doesnt choose to BE godzilla. Its just running around in constant pain, and everytime it gets attacked for the collateral damage he does by simply walking around, its forced to defend himself by causing more destruction. Its not a monster, its just forced to be born AS A MONSTER
In my opinion, Shin Gojira is the best written Godzilla ever! This song explores on Shins emotions and his feelings. He was never evil or bad. He only defends himself from everything around him. Shin doesn't know why he was born into this world and his powers.
@@Giuseppegranata7067 They do their own seperate thing. Minus One upgrades the original Godzilla and truly makes us feel for the humans. Shin on the other hand puts a spin on the original Godzilla while keeping it's essence.
"Shin Godzilla was a dark lord of the Godzilla's. So powerful and so wise, He could mutate to different but keep making people...... Dying. He had such a tragedy, he could not even keep the pain, from going away. He became so painful to see, the only thing he was afraid of was, keeping the pain, which, eventually of course he did, unfortunately the humans set explosives onto his feet, then they fed him a poison, which froze him. It's Ironic, he had the pain, but he couldn't get rid of it."
"a shaft of light is all i need to cease the darkness killing me"..... Shin's breath, his shaft of light, was created to defend himself from the dark stealth bombers. what a sad creature
HOLD UP, YOU ARE TELLING ME THE GUY WHO BRING DEPRESSION TO ME THROUGH NEON GENESIS EVANGELION IS THE SAME GUY BRING DEPRESSION TO ME THROUGH SHIN GODZILLA!?
This godzilla wasn't a representation of nuclear warfare btw it was a representation of the government's slow response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
@@quantumpanic and? It's still a representation of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and a satire of the Japanese government just because they change it to Americans dumping the waste doesn't take away the fact that that's what its a representation of that
A E S T H E T I C He probably wandered by it totally by accident or from a random current. Either way, if humans disposed of the waste properly he would’ve been fine. But we didn’t and Gojira is the price we pay.
He wasnt evil. He never was. He was hurting. He was angry. He was scared. Whatever transpired into what this thing became was never its fault. It never asked to be this way. Yet life says otherwise.
And the fact that radiation caused this. The humans threw radioactive waste in the water the fish mutated and felt horrible pain he comes to land humans think *oh no big scary mutated abomination comes to attack us* not knowing they caused it to exist the fish evolves again and is red tall. And still shin lives the rest of his life in pure pain the lyrics do mean what shin Godzilla feels.
Shin and 54’ are so similar yet different as beings. 54’ is so…angry, his rampage is wrathful and deliberate. “You are why I am in pain, you insignificant ants, suffer as I am suffering”. But shin is a scared child lashing out at the world around it. “Why does everything hurt? How do I make it stop hurting? Why can’t I make it stop hurting?! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP HURTING!”
A creature that rapidly evolved complete intelligence, a young mind that doesn't know what it is or why it is, all it knows is unimaginable pain, although the lyrics do suggest that it knows why the humans are attacking it & how misunderstood he is 😢 rest easy shin.
Fun godzilla fact: in the second film "Godzilla Raids Again" they basically confirmed that godzilla has ptsd from the atomic bomb and will lash out at any bright lights.
He’s not immortal but it would take him a very long time to die. His body is kinda like a siphonophore. Even if it’s just down to one cell he’ll still be alive. So in theory shin is immortal but through other things like atom decay he is finite.
Shin Godzilla is a masterpiece, and this song only shows us further his struggle. He was a creature, dying, but mutating beyond his control. He didn’t mean to destroy anything, or to hurt anyone. In fact, that’s probably the last thing he wants to do. But he has to, because it’s the one thing keeping him alive, and he knows that no one will understand his struggle. His roars are not of victory, but of pain and depression. He’s crying for help, but no one will save him. He doesn’t kill for sport or for fun, he kills because that’s the only thing he can do.
I feel bad for Shin, he really is a sad creature. But for the humans who died and had nothing to do with Shin, the ones who lost families, homes, income and friends. This is just one BIG tragedy. For everyone.
"A shaft of light is all need, to cease the darkness killing me." He doesnt know what hit him, but his body is automatically defending itself from the threat. Thats chilling.
Shin only really roars when in pain, it's a tad hard to notice but I think it's correct The first roar when second form, when he started to heat up, he roared and ran into the ocean, In the next, it's when the bunker buster bombs (which they dropped on his HEAD earlier in the movie and did Jack squat, as well as bunker buster bombs being designed to tunnel deep into something before blowing up) impact, when he's hit in the back and blood showers the streets, he roars in pain before laying waste to the city atomic fire style, but then, a tiny detail, when he funnels it into the purple laser, after he closes his mouth to shoot the beams from his back, in fact the moment he closes his mouth, he squeaks a small roar can be heard, along with the sound of hissing flames being extinguished, and some smoke Even his atomic breath causes him pain, and in his last roar, he is being "put down" so to speak by the coagulatent, it's the moment he actually begins to freeze, and this one, I feel is different, I feel its a thank you, his pain, his suffering, his torment, it can end Shin is ANYTHING but stupid, I think it knew it was being stopped by the coagulatent, but it wasn't allowing itself to be defeated, somewhat like "who will know", there are 2 voices, what I believe to be the body and mind The female voice seems to be the mind, mourning it's pain and yearning for death, while the deeper male voice is the body, the primal urge for self preservation at any cost, to survive no matter the pain, and once the mind realises it can finally rest, he roars as a thank you, Or maybe I'm digging WAY too deep then again this was made by the NEON GENISIS EVANGALION producer and that story is layers upon layers so I dunno
If the Legendary Godzilla is an action movie, Shin would be a tragedy. A tragedy about a creature too strong, too big and too monstrous for his own good.
Speaking of Legendary’s films, Ken Watanabe’s character was named Dr. Ishiro Serizawa as a tribute to Dr. Daisuke Serizawa and even has a scene in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” that pays tribute to the original 1954 film, with a twist. As a result, I often liked to imagine G14 and GKOTM as unofficial sequels to G54 (kind of like how the Heisei and Millennium films still incorporate G54 into its official continuity), and Daisuke Serizawa as Ishiro Serizawa’s uncle to tie the films together. When G54, G14, and GKOTM are then watched back-to-back as a trilogy, one can then interpret G54 as the tragic film like Shin Godzilla, while G14 and GKOTM are more uplifting stories about mankind having another chance to reconcile with nature, by learning to cooperate with the second Godzilla in protecting the Earth rather than once more making enemies with tragic consequences for both.
This is much more than a monster movie. It's just hits too deep, the conflict between losing the will to live for no fault of yours and another part inside of you fighting your inner demons. On the other perspective how humanity has fallen to the point of polluting the only rock of life for every being and the suffering of those beings for no fault of theirs. No words, it's a masterpiece.
Imagine trying, over and over and over, to destroy yourself out of desperation and mercy. Smashing your skull against brick walls to take away the pain you were fated with, but your entire physical being was designed to survive, and so it won't let you leave.
I hadnt realized this song was actually lyrical until now, I JUST watched the movie. This scene was incredible, truly tragic and beautifully destructive. This is one of the best Godzilla movies in my opinion!!
Fun fact: the reason that Shin Godzilla's atomic breath is purple, unlike almost every other Godzilla, is because it symbolically represents his pain and desperation. Purple is the color of great suffering, part of the reason purple is worn by catholic priests during lent, the season of suffering and atonement. This meaning is also highlighted when you consider that Shin only develops his atomic breath after he has been wounded by the bombs and roars in agony.
Everytime I think this movie can't possibly get even sadder, it does. It's always one more comment adding another layer of sadness. Christ, I love Shin G.
This movie went back to the roots of Godzilla being an accident and something that was created by mankind's folly. This Godzilla is simply put, an abomination. Something that shouldn't even exist let alone walk among man. He is in constant, unbearable pain from *SIMPLY BEING ALIVE* and confused as to why he is even here or what his purpose is. Shin Godzilla is a complete and total accident gone horribly wrong, and is suffering for no reason other than simply existence being a cruel mistress. He never asked for this, he never wanted this yet it was forced upon him. Humanity transformed him into the ultimate being of terror and destruction from our own negligence and stupidity, and as a final act of retaliation Shin Godzilla punishes us to remind us what the true downfall of man is: arrogance.
godzilla was created to portray what the nuclear bombing of hiroshima meant to the Japanese, this Gojira buttons that feeling of terror back, absolute horror that humanity created themselves and can't stop said terror.
totally agree.just look at the Atomic breath scene.hes vomiting.he throws his head in all directions hoping to get this strange thing that comes out of his mouth off.or when he uses the back spines.for the Lack of a better comparison,it looks like a pimple bursting open! best Wishes have a good day!
"He is in constant, unbearable pain from SIMPLY BEING ALIVE and confused as to why he is even here or what his purpose is. " he doesnt need to be confused anymore then because everyones purpose is to praise allah
@@adnan_honest_jihadist5775 I'm pretty sure he couldn't pray even if he desired, or even understand Allah. And even in this case he would probably suffer until death.
@@sailorquestion3229 animals and every other things created from allah pray in a different way yk its not all the time the say animals pray to allah but it depends which animal if for example a lion roars allah then the lion is praying to allah i can show you a video where different kinds of animals pray to allah and im also sure that godzilla would pray to allah in a way. well allah created everyone and everyone will suffer in this life it could be a lot suffering or it could be a small number of suffering but if those who suffer praise allah still then they will enter paradise and will no more suffer in paradise you can do and get whatever you want doesnt matter if it is sinnful or not because you fullfilled the test of this life and the sins of this life will not be a sin in paradise example: murder, robbery, alcohol, drugs, cheating, playing with money, sex before merriage, misrepresenting stuff ect. islam is a beautiful, logical and good religion
Fun Fact: Godzilla is seen as a metaphor or personification of the destructive power of nuclear weapons, particularly in response to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The original 1954 Godzilla film was heavily influenced by the fear and trauma caused by those bombings and the dangers of nuclear testing. Godzilla's appearance and destructive abilities often symbolize the horrors of nuclear warfare and its impact on society and the environment. Knowing this, makes this song hit 8 times harder to the feels. 😢
@@finnedreaper7069 Bro who cares, same diff. Both involve nuclear shit and human beings being dumbasses. 💀 Like, as if how such tragedies were executed somehow makes any sort of difference when nuclear disasters are nuclear disasters. There is no difference, both scenarios are of the same level of tragic and horrifying. Edit: Anyways erm Alexa, play Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult.
While not entirely wrong, it wasn’t the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that specifically inspired Godzilla. The event that inspired it was actually the Bikini Atoll tests that were the catalyst for creating Godzilla. In the first film you actually see a ship get to close to the Bikini Atoll and they suffer from the radioactive fallout. This is based on a real event that happened.
@@SilverBell1999Wrong. Godzilla was originally a protest film on America's nuclear test that affect Japanese fishing, Johnny Harris explains it, check him out. As for Shin Godzilla, as previously answered, its a protest to the Japanese government's slow response to disasters, especially the Fukushima. Calling the two same is like a guy getting killed by a gun by another guy versus a guy who got killed by himself in an accident by his own gun.
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them." - Ishiro Honda
@@neo7588 he can’t control it I think fo it as a expulsion of radiation as his body is dumping some radiation so he doesn’t end up like burning Godzilla
If he didn't do it, he will likely become burning godzilla and will cause more damage to his surrounding, there wasn't much of a choice to make, either expel the excess radiation he has since the start of his evolution or to lessen the damage or keep it and wreak havoc as burning godzilla
Interviews with the monsters: Gojira (Japanese): "Have I worked with Shin? Well... no, not really. I've talked with him, but he never seemed to be comfortable around crowds. He always looked sad, but always came to parties. And you know Mosura, she doesn't like bad vibes so she tried to cheer him up one time. He just stared needles through her. He kind of freaks us out a bit, but I guess knowing what we know now it makes sense." Godzilla (American): "Everyone knows Shin, I do too. I was put on this earth to be a protector, a balance scale if you will. Gojira is a hero to the Japanese even if some of his past acts weren't all that heroic. Then there's Mosura, she helps Goji win fights cuz she's cool like that. Ghidorah, although he's evil on set is a great guy who doesn't want to destroy the world. Then there's Shin. I... can't really place Shin. I got to talking with him one night, all he ever did was nod or shake his head. Like all of us he's very method, so when I asked if those missiles in his back hurt a lot, all he said was, 'they weren't as bad as the rest of my life'. That kind of stuck with me. He hasn't told anybody what's bugging him but we know something's wrong now. Just... hey Shin, if you're hearing this, we're here for you man, you're a monster like us too." Ghidorah Ichi: "Guys? You ever talk to Shin?" Ni: "Only when you have." San (Kevin): "He's weird, I kind of like him though." Mosura: "He's odd... that's about all I can say about him. But I told everybody why he's like that. I think it gave us some new input on his life. The poor guy never asked for this. I'm surprised he took on the Godzilla role with such gusto. I think he had talks with the director, asked him to make the movie less of a monster movie, more of a view into his life. I think that was the right decision."
"to cease the darkness killing me..." oh my god, this line right here hit me in the heart. it perfectly encapsulates the unending pain of godzilla's radiation eating away at him.
Another thing to note: In traditional Opera, the soprano role was often given to the damsel in distress or female protagonist, whereas the bass role was given to the villain of the story. The balance between the distressed original creature in the soprano and the villainous monster in the bass makes this a great piece.
Yeah that’s a nice touch, the song starts with the female opera I guess signifying how shin is in distress and is confused of where they are, and later in the song the bass singer comes in in reference to how people and shin themselves portray them as the villain later in the movie, because shin knows the damage they are causing, they can’t control it because of the pain and agony it’s in, and the constant evolution is just making it worse, (that’s what I think don’t take my word on it)
The fact that this is playing during the first time he uses the atomic breath, which I believe is the only time shin isn't in pain, then slowly dies off when he goes to sleep is both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
I like the fact that, without the lyrics, the music is almost incomprehensible. Really shows that shin Godzilla tries to talk, to make everyone understand... *but no one will truly know...*
This song really highlights Shin's pain. As if he's having an existential crisis. He wants to die but his body isn't allowing him to. He's suffering just by being alive. Poor Shin. :(
Sometimes, we all feel like Shin. But we just accept and move on. Sometimes we never knew about the spectrum of Shin, of his pain. And how he never moved on because of that pain. This song is a perfect example of it. We hope for the best for Shin.
People say shin Godzilla is evil. He is a nuclear blast victim, cursed with constanty growing cancers and suffering to forever bleed. The god of suffering. The god of pain. The god of death. The god of torture. He is The god Of War
"You created me, now you wanna kill me. My body is collapsing on itself everytime worse because of radiations, and you blame me for this destruction. I'll let you try to kill me, but if I die but you're all coming down with me."
Shin Godzilla An example of the curse of immortality. A curse where the sweet release of death will never come for you. A curse where to be stronger, a greater pain must be applied. A curse that hide its self as a blessing.
_"As long as breath comes from my mouth, I may yet stand the slightest chance. A shaft of light is all I need to cease the darkness killing me."_ The bomb scene
28StabWounder - nah that’s purple think of the bomb and how it relates to the aftermath smoke and the beams are purple His pain and agony is cursed on him by this bomb and atomic waste and as he mutates he cannot ‘cease the darkness’ Shin is known mostly for his self mutation and that is his curse in this world
It showed that humanity was the one who started its suffering, but humanity was also the one who ended it and let it rest... Like... Humanity's sh*t, but not everyone's the same. Others might've hurt you, but that doesn’t mean everyone will.
You're saying this like the original kamen rider series and shin kamen rider isn't about Nazi, WW2, Finding your place in the world and warcrime, what a way to downplay a historically traumatizing event lmao
@@emiyashirou1858 It's funnier in Shin prequel manga(Spoiler) Colonel Zol is still a Nazi fanatic like his OG TV version This person here really underestimate the plot/lore of Rider, despite being for kids
This song evokes the image of a creature in unspeakable pain, stranded in a place unknown, yet that keeps going despite it all, because it's all it has. No matter how much suffering it brings, no matter how much more deformed it gets with every step, how much more monstruous it becomes... it has to continue. Because it has to live.
This changed the meaning of the movie for me. Before this, I though that it was a Horror Godzilla film of an "angry Godzilla", but no. Shin Godzilla is actually a Living Creature that wants to die, but his body wouldn't allow him. This shows that you should never see a monster looking creature a monster. Because Shin Godzilla was seen by the people as a Scary Creature. Yet. He isn't. . “ Godzilla... Truly a god incarnate. „ - Kayoco Anne Patterson (Shin Godzilla)
The struggle between succumbing and fighting brought on by the fear of death, being the duality for Godzilla and the victims of the 2011 tsunami and nuclear disaster is so heartbreaking
This movie was the perfect portrayal of Godzilla and the personification of the effects of the nuclear bomb testings and atomic bomb droppings. Even the director ishiro Honda wanted to create that message by doing a movie based on monster with a radioactive core and constantly suffering. Ishiro Honda may you rest in peace and be proud of your masterpiece
Knowing the song's meant to take place from Godzilla's perspective, it makes me think of that quote... "Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy." -Ishiro Honda
Rachit Garg True that. Destroyah and Gigan are Assholes. Most of the others are alright, though. They're just sick of people fricking shooting things at them.
I just watch shin godzilla as my first godzilla movie and this part was majestic. Big shiro sagisu fan already but just wow. ı will probably continue to other godzilla movies but this is probably impossible to best.
This ost does an unmatched job at making me feel distressed and uncomfortable, incredible score and a perfect fit for the Godzilla that made the monster scary again
"Imagine your very existance caused you pain, and all you really wanted was to die once and for all, but you're so god-like that you cant, you are a god cursed to live"
before learning about this song’s lyrics and shin’s constant pain, suffering and confusion, I just thought he was a monster rampaging through tokyo, causing destruction just for the fun of it. now, the entire movie has a different meaning to me. it’s not like your average godzilla movie. it’s much darker, realistic, and somewhat depressing. I never thought I’d say this, but damn… poor gojira.
@@Leostar-Regalius Wait what they do? Last I heard they were sending in robots to pick up any radioactive materials but the radiation was too much to handle for the robots, unless that was another country please correct me.
Both my favorite Godzilla movie and scene in the entire movie. I could gush on and on about it for hours but I don't think the limited boundaries of the comment box could hold my love for this movie.
A beast who feels agony constantly and can’t stop it, a beast who isn’t the beast and is the victim, the victim that is humanity’s creations and a victim that can’t escape this hell
We look at Shin Godzilla and are obviously horrified about how he looks and what he’s doing, but we don’t realize until later that he’s in so much pain and is suffering because of humanity. He’s simply an animal that was exposed to something that turned him into a monster. I bet he really has no ill will; he looks angry, tired but most importantly, scared. Look at his movements and his skin. You can’t tell me that he doesn’t look like he’s in pain. Shin Godzilla himself really is the tragedy, not the destruction he brings. I honestly felt sympathy for him after a while. What do y’all think?
@@sidewinder1209 1. Most of those areas were evacuated, few people died 2. It's humanity's fault that he even exists 3. It's not like it's intentional. He was just walking around, this led to destruction caused just by him existing. As for the atomic breath he only uses it after he's been attacked, and it might not be intentional, he lives in constant pain, for him it could be like throwing up or coughing up blood.
@@shinyshuckle3771 1. "Few people" is still people. 2."it's humanity's fault" you edgelords need to stop talking as if humanity is a collective entity with a hive mind sharing the same mentality. Every single human is different and capable of good or evil. You say it's humanity's fault. What exactly was the fault of the children and innocent men and women that died, who were only living their daily lives? I'm pretty sure they didn't plan to dump radioactive waste into the ocean. 3. I know it's not intentional. But that doesn't change anything. Fact is, he is a source of harm for innocent people and so, removing him from existence should be the priority. Think of putting down rabid dogs. It's not the dogs' fault that they're rabid, yet to prevent humans and other healthy animals from being harmed, we must kill the rabid dogs all the same.
The lyrics, "I wear a void" haunts me. If we just stop and think for a second, what exactly is a void? A void is something you can't physically see or feel. A void refers to an empty space in our mind that expresses our emotional, if not mental health. So going back to the lyrics, "I wear a void" refers to Godzillas overall state, unkown to the human eye, it's hidden by the sheer horror of the monster, and it's overall appearance. Godzilla destroys the city to tell the people, "stop attacking me," his efforts are in vain when the people don't understand. At the end of the movie, when Shin Godzilla roars one final time, I see it as his way of saying, "Thank you for putting me out of my misery." As if he finally got the message to the people.
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their *tragedy*. They do not want to attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend themselves.

Thirsty Water some are natrualy evil using there power to inflict pain others become monsters because the world makes them. But to those lucky few that may be monsters on the outside but within have hearts of gold. Now they are truly strong.
@@thirstywater3936 consider this, imagine if Destroyah, King Ghidora, and Space Godzilla existed as its own monster not held within the context of our chosen champion (another monster we now adore called Gojira), we would show the same love for them as we did our big atomic death Lizard.
Shin was just a confused animal at the end of the day, he had no malice or evil. Just a confused animal that was constantly in pain, not a monster by choice. This song embodies him greatly, just hopelessness
Scorpio Rekt Productions ya shin godzilla didn't want to be a monster humans made him an abomination by putting toxic chemicals in the ocean. godzilla doesn't know why he exists .godzilla came to land without evil intent but the humans attacked because it looked like a monster so godzilla defended himself. So in this movie the humans are the bad guys same with Frankensteins monster doesn't know why it exists. It was created for a experiment but people attacked because it looked like a monster it so it defended it self very similar
This just… this is just sad… shin gojira, it doesn’t- it CANT live with itself, but it has to. shin is the embodiment of everyone on earths pain and suffering, everyone depression and sorrow, their grieving, etc. who will truly know… how much pain this poor kaijus soul is…
The fact that shin destroyed 3 of the most advanced aircraft in the world in mere moments is terrifying and also the way one of the bomber says that they were circling back for payback really shows they thought they were going to survive
This is the tale of a creature gravely damaged by the mistakes of humanity. The unknown damages they are causing. This creature had no idea what to expect. At one point, he’s a normal aquatic creature living in the ocean, the next, he’s getting nuclear waste dumped on him by the creatures from above and mutates into a creature he never wanted to be. A monster. He had no choice. He does not know why this happened to him. It just... *happened* to him. Scared, he flees to dry land, not knowing what damage befalls him or the things on land. Once there, he is then bombarded with screams and loud noises he is unaware of with creatures he is unaware of all the while losing blood. This throws him into an even bigger panic, losing more blood, adding to the pain, and prompts him into destroying everything in his path in order to live. He then learns that he must adapt to his new environment and force himself to evolve. Braking his bones and replacing them with new ones, stretching and tearing apart his flesh for new parts to be filled in, and suffering all that pain just in order for him to live, he lets out his first roar. A roar of pain. He is then attacked by the ones he calls “alien” to him, and learning he is still not suitable for this environment, he flees in a panic to the place he feels most comfortable. Deep below. He soon mutates even more and gets bigger and bigger. He soon realizes he is to big for his home. Knowing his death is slowly drawing near, and what lurks above, he returns to the world above. He then re-encounters the sounds and creatures he hates most but fights through it. However, this time they retaliate. Bombarding him with explosives all because they are scared. Which only adds to his fear and confusion. And adds a new emotion. Sadness. Sadness that the creatures who ruined his life now want to kill him. Sadness that he does not know why this is happening to him. Sadness that the world may never know of his tragedy. He has become empty. His heart is now hollow and void. He sees nothing for him in the near future. Nothing else left for him. All he does know is that he must continue his path of destruction. Follow this downward slope of chaos. All in order to live. He must become what these creatures see him as. A monster. Even knowing his fate in the end. It is then that he is gravely damaged by these creatures dropping more explosives onto him. He then let’s out another roar. However it is not a reaction to pain. Though he is feeling immeasurable pain. It is a cry for help. A cry that his pain could end. That this attack would cease! That his life could be spared and that he could return to a normal life as an animal! Even though he knew it could never happen and he had no more hope left he still clung desperately to that wish! But his cry is ignored. All he knows now is that he must adapt in order to live. He then forces himself to forgo evolution once more. Braking his jaw, shredding his throat, and burning his insides, a raging fire falls out of his mouth. But these flames are not out of any pure hatred or rage. They are out of desperation. As the flames of Hell burn through his throat they turn to a shaft of light to allow him the slightest chance at living. This amount of pain and energy he puts out just to live quickly tires him out and he then goes into a rest where he either wishes he could Rest In Peace or soon be able to cease the darkness killing him. Forever cementing himself as the thing he hates the most. A monster.
Well both are victims, humans have to kill it since its destroying shit theres no option, Shin is pretty much an abomination mutated with a lot of organisms wich explains the ending of those organisms escaping by evolving meaning that they can evolve at will, it was just to late, and they didn't know what was happening, neither did humans, so in this case both were victims shin was just a tragic abomination that got forced and put together without knowing, and humans can't let a giant monster roam the planet, if anything it's helping this beings dream to just die.
@@duck7835 the humans are the enemies there the antagonist shin is basically the main character… he has his own song he also has the characteristics of a main character and he really just seems like a depressed human.
@@duck7835 The point of the story is that the humans are by definition, the villains. But they're not 'evil' per say. They mutated Godzilla with the nuclear waste they dumped away. They ruined an innocent creatures life with something they don't even need to survive naturally. Then, when Godzilla arrived. Screaming in pain, begging for help from anyone and driven by an animal need to survive. The people who did this to him tried to kill him. They end up freezing him which according to the lore, he is STILL suffering. Because as far as we know, his body isn't dead. As that requires every cell to be destroyed. They did this. Then they tried to kill a creature who just wanted help. Then froze him in - as far as we know - constant torment. But, humanity has no CHOICE but to defend themselves. Humanity has no sympathy for what they created but they can't let him near their cities whether they do or not. Sad.
Shin and Minus one have both been incredible movies. I love the big monster fights of the Legendary films but when it comes to story telling Toho is unmatched
Shin godzilla is easily my favorite one, not just because he's powerful as all hell, but he proves that even forces of destruction can be nuanced and tragic

@@ReddBoiii then why did they say the nuclear waste was dumped by the americans?

Godzilla says "Why did you do this to me?"
Lol
Shin gojira: i do this to you because you turned me into this
Shin Goji: I do this because this is what you do to me, to do to you.
I mean he didn't need to eat the radioactive waste he could have just left like a normal animal
A E S T H E T I C He probably wandered by it totally by accident or from a random current. Either way, if humans disposed of the waste properly he would’ve been fine. But we didn’t and Gojira is the price we pay.
He wasnt evil. He never was. He was hurting. He was angry. He was scared. Whatever transpired into what this thing became was never its fault. It never asked to be this way. Yet life says otherwise.
But Wait What Can Make Godzilla Evil And Irredeemable
Hes a creature burdened with existence. A painful agonizing existence. He a being that never wanted to be....
@@OjetskySantos-1 is basically that
And the fact that radiation caused this. The humans threw radioactive waste in the water the fish mutated and felt horrible pain he comes to land humans think *oh no big scary mutated abomination comes to attack us* not knowing they caused it to exist the fish evolves again and is red tall. And still shin lives the rest of his life in pure pain the lyrics do mean what shin Godzilla feels.
Shin and 54’ are so similar yet different as beings. 54’ is so…angry, his rampage is wrathful and deliberate. “You are why I am in pain, you insignificant ants, suffer as I am suffering”. But shin is a scared child lashing out at the world around it. “Why does everything hurt? How do I make it stop hurting? Why can’t I make it stop hurting?! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP HURTING!”
I know right...
Poor shin
I just 1954 was like "WHAT THEY BOMB ME AM MAD."
A creature that rapidly evolved complete intelligence, a young mind that doesn't know what it is or why it is, all it knows is unimaginable pain, although the lyrics do suggest that it knows why the humans are attacking it & how misunderstood he is 😢 rest easy shin.
Fun godzilla fact: in the second film "Godzilla Raids Again" they basically confirmed that godzilla has ptsd from the atomic bomb and will lash out at any bright lights.
A being almost impossible to kill...
A victim... *An immortal victim.*
that summed up SG
He’s not immortal but it would take him a very long time to die. His body is kinda like a siphonophore. Even if it’s just down to one cell he’ll still be alive. So in theory shin is immortal but through other things like atom decay he is finite.

@@dances_with_myself9305 if life finds a way to live around black holes then he will probably die before them
If shin godzilla fought shin ultraman and what would happen
Shin Godzilla is a masterpiece, and this song only shows us further his struggle. He was a creature, dying, but mutating beyond his control. He didn’t mean to destroy anything, or to hurt anyone. In fact, that’s probably the last thing he wants to do. But he has to, because it’s the one thing keeping him alive, and he knows that no one will understand his struggle. His roars are not of victory, but of pain and depression. He’s crying for help, but no one will save him. He doesn’t kill for sport or for fun, he kills because that’s the only thing he can do.

Agreed. It's not a situation where anyone can truly win.
"A shaft of light is all need, to cease the darkness killing me."

lmao
Yea
Thanks Hideaki Anno
Ah yes, ShinG (Shinji)
It's the opposite of 54 because 54 GIVES clinical depression
Shin only really roars when in pain, it's a tad hard to notice but I think it's correct
The first roar when second form, when he started to heat up, he roared and ran into the ocean,
In the next, it's when the bunker buster bombs (which they dropped on his HEAD earlier in the movie and did Jack squat, as well as bunker buster bombs being designed to tunnel deep into something before blowing up) impact, when he's hit in the back and blood showers the streets, he roars in pain before laying waste to the city atomic fire style, but then, a tiny detail, when he funnels it into the purple laser, after he closes his mouth to shoot the beams from his back, in fact the moment he closes his mouth, he squeaks a small roar can be heard, along with the sound of hissing flames being extinguished, and some smoke
Even his atomic breath causes him pain, and in his last roar, he is being "put down" so to speak by the coagulatent, it's the moment he actually begins to freeze,
and this one, I feel is different, I feel its a thank you, his pain, his suffering, his torment, it can end
Shin is ANYTHING but stupid, I think it knew it was being stopped by the coagulatent, but it wasn't allowing itself to be defeated, somewhat like "who will know",
there are 2 voices, what I believe to be the body and mind
The female voice seems to be the mind, mourning it's pain and yearning for death, while the deeper male voice is the body, the primal urge for self preservation at any cost, to survive no matter the pain, and once the mind realises it can finally rest, he roars as a thank you,
Or maybe I'm digging WAY too deep then again this was made by the NEON GENISIS EVANGALION producer and that story is layers upon layers so I dunno
So true 😢
You want this Godzilla to die…
Not because he is evil…
Because you want to end his misery.
If the Legendary Godzilla is an action movie, Shin would be a tragedy. A tragedy about a creature too strong, too big and too monstrous for his own good.
Shin also lives in constant pain and will never die. No one knows about his pain and at the end he creates beings that will understand him.
Oh, I hadn't thought of that. You make me sad. :(
Speaking of Legendary’s films, Ken Watanabe’s character was named Dr. Ishiro Serizawa as a tribute to Dr. Daisuke Serizawa and even has a scene in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” that pays tribute to the original 1954 film, with a twist.
As a result, I often liked to imagine G14 and GKOTM as unofficial sequels to G54 (kind of like how the Heisei and Millennium films still incorporate G54 into its official continuity), and Daisuke Serizawa as Ishiro Serizawa’s uncle to tie the films together. When G54, G14, and GKOTM are then watched back-to-back as a trilogy, one can then interpret G54 as the tragic film like Shin Godzilla, while G14 and GKOTM are more uplifting stories about mankind having another chance to reconcile with nature, by learning to cooperate with the second Godzilla in protecting the Earth rather than once more making enemies with tragic consequences for both.
tragedy about a creature tearing itself in every direction, agony beyond recognition.
The tragedy of God
This is the literal definition of “I simply live with the pain.”
I'd hardly call it living. Shin doesn't live. He's simply tortured.
Shin isn't a God he's just a mutated creature but if he keeps up his evolution he probably will become not just mortal which puts the GOD in godzilla

I used to live somewhere else there was a school shooting the principal was a big fan of Godzilla so he played this song
@@bruh-ht1uj he is both a mix between zilla and gojira
No wonder he is in pain
This is much more than a monster movie. It's just hits too deep, the conflict between losing the will to live for no fault of yours and another part inside of you fighting your inner demons.
On the other perspective how humanity has fallen to the point of polluting the only rock of life for every being and the suffering of those beings for no fault of theirs.
No words, it's a masterpiece.
There is also a lot of commentary on Japan in particular, mainly about its painfully inefficient bureaucracy and the government's inaction.
Well the earthquake and tsunami was in a heavily populated area, it was bound to slow any government.
Imagine trying, over and over and over, to destroy yourself out of desperation and mercy. Smashing your skull against brick walls to take away the pain you were fated with, but your entire physical being was designed to survive, and so it won't let you leave.
In the words of another commenter, Shin Godzilla is the equivalent of a mind that wants to die but with a body that fights to survive

This is one of the best Godzilla movies in my opinion!!
Fun fact: the reason that Shin Godzilla's atomic breath is purple, unlike almost every other Godzilla, is because it symbolically represents his pain and desperation. Purple is the color of great suffering, part of the reason purple is worn by catholic priests during lent, the season of suffering and atonement. This meaning is also highlighted when you consider that Shin only develops his atomic breath after he has been wounded by the bombs and roars in agony.

This movie went back to the roots of Godzilla being an accident and something that was created by mankind's folly.
This Godzilla is simply put, an abomination. Something that shouldn't even exist let alone walk among man.
He is in constant, unbearable pain from *SIMPLY BEING ALIVE* and confused as to why he is even here or what his purpose is.
Shin Godzilla is a complete and total accident gone horribly wrong, and is suffering for no reason other than simply existence being a cruel mistress.
He never asked for this, he never wanted this yet it was forced upon him.
Humanity transformed him into the ultimate being of terror and destruction from our own negligence and stupidity, and as a final act of retaliation Shin Godzilla punishes us to remind us what the true downfall of man is: arrogance.
godzilla was created to portray what the nuclear bombing of hiroshima meant to the Japanese, this Gojira buttons that feeling of terror back, absolute horror that humanity created themselves and can't stop said terror.

Fun Fact: Godzilla is seen as a metaphor or personification of the destructive power of nuclear weapons, particularly in response to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The original 1954 Godzilla film was heavily influenced by the fear and trauma caused by those bombings and the dangers of nuclear testing. Godzilla's appearance and destructive abilities often symbolize the horrors of nuclear warfare and its impact on society and the environment.
Knowing this, makes this song hit 8 times harder to the feels. 😢
this godzilla isnt about the nukes, its about nuclear waste and the government acting too slow to act upon it
@@finnedreaper7069 Bro who cares, same diff. Both involve nuclear shit and human beings being dumbasses. 💀 Like, as if how such tragedies were executed somehow makes any sort of difference when nuclear disasters are nuclear disasters. There is no difference, both scenarios are of the same level of tragic and horrifying.
Edit: Anyways erm Alexa, play Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult.
@@SilverBell1999 pretty sure there is a difference between the after eddects of nuclear bombing and nuclear waste
While not entirely wrong, it wasn’t the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that specifically inspired Godzilla. The event that inspired it was actually the Bikini Atoll tests that were the catalyst for creating Godzilla. In the first film you actually see a ship get to close to the Bikini Atoll and they suffer from the radioactive fallout. This is based on a real event that happened.
@@SilverBell1999Wrong.
Godzilla was originally a protest film on America's nuclear test that affect Japanese fishing, Johnny Harris explains it, check him out.
As for Shin Godzilla, as previously answered, its a protest to the Japanese government's slow response to disasters, especially the Fukushima.
Calling the two same is like a guy getting killed by a gun by another guy versus a guy who got killed by himself in an accident by his own gun.
It's *MY* existential crisis and *I* get to choose the music
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them."

I'm with Godzilla's side.
Interviews with the monsters:
Gojira (Japanese): "Have I worked with Shin? Well... no, not really. I've talked with him, but he never seemed to be comfortable around crowds. He always looked sad, but always came to parties. And you know Mosura, she doesn't like bad vibes so she tried to cheer him up one time. He just stared needles through her. He kind of freaks us out a bit, but I guess knowing what we know now it makes sense."
Godzilla (American): "Everyone knows Shin, I do too. I was put on this earth to be a protector, a balance scale if you will. Gojira is a hero to the Japanese even if some of his past acts weren't all that heroic. Then there's Mosura, she helps Goji win fights cuz she's cool like that. Ghidorah, although he's evil on set is a great guy who doesn't want to destroy the world. Then there's Shin. I... can't really place Shin. I got to talking with him one night, all he ever did was nod or shake his head. Like all of us he's very method, so when I asked if those missiles in his back hurt a lot, all he said was, 'they weren't as bad as the rest of my life'. That kind of stuck with me. He hasn't told anybody what's bugging him but we know something's wrong now. Just... hey Shin, if you're hearing this, we're here for you man, you're a monster like us too."

Ichi: "Guys? You ever talk to Shin?"
Ni: "Only when you have."
San (Kevin): "He's weird, I kind of like him though."
Mosura: "He's odd... that's about all I can say about him. But I told everybody why he's like that. I think it gave us some new input on his life. The poor guy never asked for this. I'm surprised he took on the Godzilla role with such gusto. I think he had talks with the director, asked him to make the movie less of a monster movie, more of a view into his life.

"to cease the darkness killing me..."

Another thing to note: In traditional Opera, the soprano role was often given to the damsel in distress or female protagonist, whereas the bass role was given to the villain of the story. The balance between the distressed original creature in the soprano and the villainous monster in the bass makes this a great piece.
thats because you're supposed to realise at the end of the movie that shin gojira was just trying to survive
it's not even a villainous monster, just his body telling him to survive
Shin was scared, angry and in pain. His atomic breath was him defending himself while finding a way to release his heat.
@@MAL1GNANT he wasn't even angry he was confused
Yeah that’s a nice touch, the song starts with the female opera I guess signifying how shin is in distress and is confused of where they are, and later in the song the bass singer comes in in reference to how people and shin themselves portray them as the villain later in the movie, because shin knows the damage they are causing, they can’t control it because of the pain and agony it’s in, and the constant evolution is just making it worse, (that’s what I think don’t take my word on it)
"I wear a void, not even hope, a downward slope, is all I see."
Logically speaking, that's kinda tragic.
Not even kinda Thats depressing
Lol nice rhymes
The fact that this is playing during the first time he uses the atomic breath, which I believe is the only time shin isn't in pain, then slowly dies off when he goes to sleep is both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
I like the fact that, without the lyrics, the music is almost incomprehensible. Really shows that shin Godzilla tries to talk, to make everyone understand...
*but no one will truly know...*
This spoke to my heart, a Godzilla soundtrack that speaks about how Godzilla feels?
Wow, so gorgeous.
The feels, man.
For real, man. The feels.
So fucking sad
Godzilla would wreck your shit jaeger!
Feels bad, man.
This song really highlights Shin's pain. As if he's having an existential crisis. He wants to die but his body isn't allowing him to. He's suffering just by being alive. Poor Shin. :(
:( :(
Springtrap moment 💀
Like a man who walks the earth for eternity while suffering immensely
Yea because he bleeded so much
Fact:even he evolved to any other form he still always in pain
Sometimes, we all feel like Shin. But we just accept and move on. Sometimes we never knew about the spectrum of Shin, of his pain. And how he never moved on because of that pain. This song is a perfect example of it. We hope for the best for Shin.
People say shin Godzilla is evil.
He is a nuclear blast victim, cursed with constanty growing cancers and suffering to forever bleed.
The god of suffering.
The god of pain.
The god of death.
The god of torture.

An example of the curse of immortality. A curse where the sweet release of death will never come for you. A curse where to be stronger, a greater pain must be applied.

This changed the meaning of the movie for me. Before this, I though that it was a Horror Godzilla film of an "angry Godzilla", but no. Shin Godzilla is actually a Living Creature that wants to die, but his body wouldn't allow him. This shows that you should never see a monster looking creature a monster. Because Shin Godzilla was seen by the people as a Scary Creature. Yet. He isn't.

This movie was the perfect portrayal of Godzilla and the personification of the effects of the nuclear bomb testings and atomic bomb droppings.

"Imagine your very existance caused you pain, and all you really wanted was to die once and for all, but you're so god-like that you cant, you are a god cursed to live"
before learning about this song’s lyrics and shin’s constant pain, suffering and confusion, I just thought he was a monster rampaging through tokyo, causing destruction just for the fun of it.
now, the entire movie has a different meaning to me. it’s not like your average godzilla movie. it’s much darker, realistic, and somewhat depressing. I never thought I’d say this, but damn… poor gojira.
I wanted to write the absolutely same thing.
this is like an updated version of the 1954 film.First film was showing the 1945 atomic bombs as godzilla.(I hope I managed to explain it)
eh godzilla can suck it ah boo hoo im sad now let me go cause mass genocide but its okay but im too big and stupid to understand what im doing

Both my favorite Godzilla movie and scene in the entire movie. I could gush on and on about it for hours but I don't think the limited boundaries of the comment box could hold my love for this movie.
A beast who feels agony constantly and can’t stop it, a beast who isn’t the beast and is the victim, the victim that is humanity’s creations and a victim that can’t escape this hell
We look at Shin Godzilla and are obviously horrified about how he looks and what he’s doing, but we don’t realize until later that he’s in so much pain and is suffering because of humanity.
He’s simply an animal that was exposed to something that turned him into a monster. I bet he really has no ill will; he looks angry, tired but most importantly, scared. Look at his movements and his skin. You can’t tell me that he doesn’t look like he’s in pain.
Shin Godzilla himself really is the tragedy, not the destruction he brings.
I honestly felt sympathy for him after a while. What do y’all think?
I cried...
I'd feel more sympathy if he didn't murder all those innocent people.
@@sidewinder1209 1. Most of those areas were evacuated, few people died
2. It's humanity's fault that he even exists
3. It's not like it's intentional. He was just walking around, this led to destruction caused just by him existing. As for the atomic breath he only uses it after he's been attacked, and it might not be intentional, he lives in constant pain, for him it could be like throwing up or coughing up blood.
@@shinyshuckle3771
1. "Few people" is still people.
2."it's humanity's fault" you edgelords need to stop talking as if humanity is a collective entity with a hive mind sharing the same mentality. Every single human is different and capable of good or evil. You say it's humanity's fault. What exactly was the fault of the children and innocent men and women that died, who were only living their daily lives? I'm pretty sure they didn't plan to dump radioactive waste into the ocean.
3. I know it's not intentional. But that doesn't change anything. Fact is, he is a source of harm for innocent people and so, removing him from existence should be the priority. Think of putting down rabid dogs. It's not the dogs' fault that they're rabid, yet to prevent humans and other healthy animals from being harmed, we must kill the rabid dogs all the same.
@@sidewinder1209 when you are in agony to the point where existence is nothing but pain, do you stop to consider ants that wander on the floor?

And horrifying...
@@Dr_Al_
And tragic...
I wouldn’t say he’s a monster
He’s just a victim not a monster
i agree
The lyrics, "I wear a void" haunts me.
If we just stop and think for a second, what exactly is a void? A void is something you can't physically see or feel. A void refers to an empty space in our mind that expresses our emotional, if not mental health. So going back to the lyrics, "I wear a void" refers to Godzillas overall state, unkown to the human eye, it's hidden by the sheer horror of the monster, and it's overall appearance. Godzilla destroys the city to tell the people, "stop attacking me," his efforts are in vain when the people don't understand.
At the end of the movie, when Shin Godzilla roars one final time, I see it as his way of saying, "Thank you for putting me out of my misery." As if he finally got the message to the people.
The most extreme case of thugging it out
The problem is, his pain will be everlasting as his body adapts to anything that tries to kill him. The pain of Shin G will never end.

"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their *tragedy*. They do not want to attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend themselves. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them." -Ishiro Honda
I don't think that statement works for Destoroyah, King Ghidora or Space Godzilla....they are just assholes who kills anyone.
Thirsty Water some are natrualy evil using there power to inflict pain others become monsters because the world makes them. But to those lucky few that may be monsters on the outside but within have hearts of gold. Now they are truly strong.
Thirsty Water I dont think it works for battra and mothra too,cause their guardians,and have a purpose
So is this song basically the thoughts of shin?
@@thirstywater3936 consider this, imagine if Destroyah, King Ghidora, and Space Godzilla existed as its own monster not held within the context of our chosen champion (another monster we now adore called Gojira), we would show the same love for them as we did our big atomic death Lizard.
Shin was just a confused animal at the end of the day, he had no malice or evil. Just a confused animal that was constantly in pain, not a monster by choice. This song embodies him greatly, just hopelessness

So in this movie the humans are the bad guys same with Frankensteins monster doesn't know why it exists. It was created for a experiment but people attacked because it looked like a monster it so it defended it self very similar

This just… this is just sad… shin gojira, it doesn’t- it CANT live with itself, but it has to. shin is the embodiment of everyone on earths pain and suffering, everyone depression and sorrow, their grieving, etc. who will truly know… how much pain this poor kaijus soul is…
The fact that shin destroyed 3 of the most advanced aircraft in the world in mere moments is terrifying and also the way one of the bomber says that they were circling back for payback really shows they thought they were going to survive
This is the tale of a creature gravely damaged by the mistakes of humanity. The unknown damages they are causing.
This creature had no idea what to expect. At one point, he’s a normal aquatic creature living in the ocean, the next, he’s getting nuclear waste dumped on him by the creatures from above and mutates into a creature he never wanted to be. A monster.
He had no choice. He does not know why this happened to him. It just... *happened* to him.
Scared, he flees to dry land, not knowing what damage befalls him or the things on land. Once there, he is then bombarded with screams and loud noises he is unaware of with creatures he is unaware of all the while losing blood. This throws him into an even bigger panic, losing more blood, adding to the pain, and prompts him into destroying everything in his path in order to live.
He then learns that he must adapt to his new environment and force himself to evolve. Braking his bones and replacing them with new ones, stretching and tearing apart his flesh for new parts to be filled in, and suffering all that pain just in order for him to live, he lets out his first roar. A roar of pain. He is then attacked by the ones he calls “alien” to him, and learning he is still not suitable for this environment, he flees in a panic to the place he feels most comfortable. Deep below.
He soon mutates even more and gets bigger and bigger. He soon realizes he is to big for his home. Knowing his death is slowly drawing near, and what lurks above, he returns to the world above. He then re-encounters the sounds and creatures he hates most but fights through it. However, this time they retaliate. Bombarding him with explosives all because they are scared. Which only adds to his fear and confusion. And adds a new emotion. Sadness. Sadness that the creatures who ruined his life now want to kill him. Sadness that he does not know why this is happening to him. Sadness that the world may never know of his tragedy. He has become empty. His heart is now hollow and void. He sees nothing for him in the near future. Nothing else left for him. All he does know is that he must continue his path of destruction. Follow this downward slope of chaos. All in order to live. He must become what these creatures see him as. A monster. Even knowing his fate in the end.
It is then that he is gravely damaged by these creatures dropping more explosives onto him. He then let’s out another roar. However it is not a reaction to pain. Though he is feeling immeasurable pain. It is a cry for help. A cry that his pain could end. That this attack would cease! That his life could be spared and that he could return to a normal life as an animal! Even though he knew it could never happen and he had no more hope left he still clung desperately to that wish! But his cry is ignored. All he knows now is that he must adapt in order to live. He then forces himself to forgo evolution once more. Braking his jaw, shredding his throat, and burning his insides, a raging fire falls out of his mouth. But these flames are not out of any pure hatred or rage. They are out of desperation. As the flames of Hell burn through his throat they turn to a shaft of light to allow him the slightest chance at living. This amount of pain and energy he puts out just to live quickly tires him out and he then goes into a rest where he either wishes he could Rest In Peace or soon be able to cease the darkness killing him. Forever cementing himself as the thing he hates the most. A monster.
My gosh I never heard someone same something like this..
And his tragedy was him evolving into a monster
Man that's deep
STOP YOU MAKING ME SAD
Pain , Sadness , Cry , fight , is the only one he can do
Shin gojira isn't the villain.
He isn't the hero neither.
He's the victim.
Well both are victims, humans have to kill it since its destroying shit theres no option, Shin is pretty much an abomination mutated with a lot of organisms wich explains the ending of those organisms escaping by evolving meaning that they can evolve at will, it was just to late, and they didn't know what was happening, neither did humans, so in this case both were victims shin was just a tragic abomination that got forced and put together without knowing, and humans can't let a giant monster roam the planet, if anything it's helping this beings dream to just die.

They ruined an innocent creatures life with something they don't even need to survive naturally. Then, when Godzilla arrived. Screaming in pain, begging for help from anyone and driven by an animal need to survive. The people who did this to him tried to kill him. They end up freezing him which according to the lore, he is STILL suffering. Because as far as we know, his body isn't dead. As that requires every cell to be destroyed. They did this. Then they tried to kill a creature who just wanted help. Then froze him in - as far as we know - constant torment. But, humanity has no CHOICE but to defend themselves. Humanity has no sympathy for what they created but they can't let him near their cities whether they do or not. Sad.
