Gorosaurus or angirus. A juvenile angirus could have fought godzilla then and may have been in activity with soviet nuclear tests (adding gloable politics at the time)
@@DMan1954 I say pre-mutated anguirus or Rodan but have the final fight back to Odo island. What if anguirus has a type of venom or something to stop Godzilla's regeneration
Anguirus and Rodan were about as "naturally occurring" as Godzilla in their original continuities (ans Rodan in the Heisei continuity, too). Anguirus was irradiated by Soviet atomic testing and Rodan was exposed to natural radiation (in the Heisei continuity, he was exposed to Russian nuclear waste).
I mean, Anguirus is said to be a pre-historic creature and they never explicitly state he was created through H-Bomb testing. They say he was "awakened." And Rodan was awakened from atomic bomb testing as well, but was part of a species that was able to reproduce naturally.
@@DMan1954 from what I gathered about Anguirus (at least when Godzilla Raids Again was in production back in 1955), he was originally supposed to have an Atomic Breath-like attack called Incandescent Light much like the first Godzilla from 1954 and initially the second Godzilla we see through the rest of the Showa era. Harkening back to when he could've been woken up and somewhat further irradiated by Soviet nuclear bomb tests. So maybe this could happen again in the Minus One timeline. A pre-irradiated Anguirus got into a recent territorial clash with the pre-irradiated Godzilla, with Godzilla possibly retreating from their last fight hence why some of the scars are still somewhat fresh wounds in the progress of healing. Skip ahead to after the events of Minus One and Soviet nuclear bomb tests in the general vicinity of where Anguirus might be further irradiate him and give him similar powers to Godzilla and he's also ten meters taller just like in Raids Again. They have one last showdown in a major Japanese city with Godzilla just getting by as the victor after ten-fifteen minutes.
Dude, you're right. It is another Godzillasaurus... Goji's significant other. It coming up to Odo is the equivalent of sleeping on the couch. No wonder it was so irritable.
I feel like if it was another Godzillasaur we'd see more bite marks than claw marks. A really disappointing idea would be that the fresher looking scar was Godzilla tearing his skim from tacking the watchtower down but I think that's silly. I think the most likely thing is either another deep sea monster like Titanosaur or their shrapnel scars from attacking other ships that never got reported.
While Godzilla vs Godzilla sounds cool, Toho has historically had a strict rule on having Godzilla fighting another straight up Godzilla, hence Mechagodzilla, SpaceGodzilla, etc.
Not entirely true, the reason why we didn't have a Godzilla Vs Godzilla was it was too much of the same thing too fast . Godzilla did fight the first American Godzilla as a bad clone of Godzilla in Final Wars and beat the shit out of him quick. Toho isn't against the idea it's just when is the best time to do it type of thing.
The Godzilla Vs Godzilla situation, toho has been wanting that fight since the heisei era cause there were plans for the original Godzilla to fight Godzilla jr with time travel. Then there were plans to have the ghost of the original Godzilla fight the heisei Godzilla. Then (this is just a rumour) there were plans for the kiryu Godzilla to fight a cloned 1954 Godzilla due to the post credit scene of Godzilla Tokyo SOS having Godzilla DNA. So yeah the two Godzilla predictions are not far off
SOMEDAY! Someday I will be vindicated! I want to see it so bad! The closest thing we have is the first battle between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla in 1974, but it's such a rad idea!
Doesn’t really make sense because it’s already been done in concept. Biollante is part Godzilla, SpaceGodzilla is literally Godzilla but mutated from a black hole, and the skeleton of Godzilla in Kiryu.
Man screw Godzilla Godzilla is definitely gonna beat Godzilla Yet again Godzilla does have a tactical advantage over Godzilla so idk who will win, Godzilla or Godzilla
I feel like a lot of emotional themes could play in an almost war of the gargantuas style story line where Godzilla becomes the lesser evil/anti hero and faces off against another of his kind who was mutated by the nuclear bomb, perhaps one who’s more mutated and scarred up, similar to shin Godzilla to add the differences in appearance. It would be so awesome to see a full on Godzilla vs Godzilla movie. Anguirus is another choice I’d love, it’s been so long since the monster has been used in an actual movie, and plus it would make sense to have Anguirus be another mutated dinosaur like Godzilla and it would be such classic throwback to Godzilla raids again, definitely another choice I’m up for. Finally rodan is another pick I’d love, it would be really cool to see the design from Godzilla the Ride be touched up and utilized for a sequel where he fights Godzilla one on one, and like Anguirus a similar origin of rodan being a prehistoric animal mutated by radiation from an atomic bomb or perhaps some other incident would be cool, although I’d really love to have a stand-alone but still minus one connected rodan film where rodan is mutated and awakens and fights the Soviet Union. (due to rodan’s original metaphor.)
Hey remember where all thought Godzilla minus one will have two godzilla, one was radiated and one isnt have to battle each other? Wonder that be in the sequel
I had covered the origin of that theory as well as the name "Godzilla Zero." It was from a misunderstanding of some things overheard from the filming of Godzilla -1.0 mixed with a healthy amount of speculation and clout chasing. lol
Its probably an anguirus if anything, remmember the non mutated ang is only showa continuity. There is litteraly nothing stopping a potential yamazaki anguirus from ALSO having to be mutated.
Rodan or Angurius for me. Maybe Titanosaurus or even a returning Gabara would be interesting. I’d be pretty bummed out if it turns out to be another Godzilla. If Godzilla fights another Godzilla, I want it to be SpaceGodzilla lol.
I’m happy that the claw marks are confirmed to be wounds from something that fought Godzillasauras. But if you had to ask what I think it must’ve been, then here’s my best guesses. 1: another Godzilla. 2: Anguirus. 3: Gorosauras. 4: an entirely brand new monster that will be revealed for the sequel. 5: Varan, because I think he deserves to be brought back & seriously revamped to face MinusGoji in the sequel.
@ dude it would make sense & kinda new for alot of people if Varan was Godzilla’s sequel opponent. How I would see him taking on Godzilla, is that either his spikes generated its own special devastating power. Being able to glide short distances not to fly but dodge Godzilla’s atomic breath. And maybe because he lived in that one lake for so long, something in him helps nullifies Godzilla’s regenerative abilities.
I keep forgetting Titanosaurus exists. And while one of the least likely picks, he would make a perfect choice for a rival underwater species. I'd also like to extend the theory by saying that Godzilla killed the rival offscreen or it retreated. This version of Godzilla would probably go in for the kill when it can.
Another point for a second Godzilla is... Well it's right there in the movie: They use a recording of Godzilla's roar to make it think that another Godzilla is encroaching on its territory. Why would Godzilla even go after that if he's the only one?
Pretty much any prehistoric-themed monster works when you really think about it (including a secondary Godzilla). The problem with most of them is that they’ll either need to already be the radioactive monster we know and love, or get hit with a nuke during the film. This leads into a big problem with it being a second Godzilla, since that would either require a retcon where two Godzillas were hit by the bomb in first film or for the sequel to dedicate some time to showing a second Godzilla getting nuked (as well as giving a reason for the humans to do the same thing for a second time).
The monster that I would want Godzilla to fight the most is Godzilla but sadly if toho doesn't want him to be a species in the Monsterverse , then what's stopping them from having the same opinion with their own Godzilla. I think that a second Godzilla is what Yamazaki was going for with the scars and maybe if toho is putting as much faith as it seems in Yamazaki with the future Godzilla films, then maybe he will be able to change their mind or maybe they will just be going whatever he does and if that's the case then i believe that Godzilla vs Godzilla is verry possible.
I don't wanna get too much into it, but Toho didn't stop Legendary from making Godzilla a species. They stopped Legendary from turning "Godzilla" into a species. Godzilla is the character, not the species. There are more Godzilla-like creatures in the MonsterVerse. That is still canon.
I think Anguirus would be awesome to see after all we have not seen Anguirus in a film since Godzilla: Final Wars! And if anguirus was possibly killed off in the Monsterverse then why not in the minus one universe! Also great video!
Wow that is true that was not only before the rule was made but he's also different enough that he's legally distinctly a different monster (is crystals) so by toho's count he doesn't count as a Godzilla
Actually it could be very interesting it's just a matter of writing the story to explore the implications of something like that which unfortunately is something else that toho has a problem with
I would not bet on the two Godzillas 'cause of that bs new rule that he has to be one and only one specimen in every universe. Anyway,my hope,for once,follows the flow,I want it to be Anguirus,for a remake of Raids Again standpoint and because best boi Angy deserves better,it's been 20 years since we've seen him (not counting SP) and he needs to star in a movie again,I would love to see a (alive) MonsterVerse variant,but if it's gonna be a Toho movie,then so be it,but we need him back! My second answer is Rodan,I agree with you,we also need a Godzilla vs. Rodan flick,and I personally need it because I was sure we were getting that fight in KOTM,I was so bummed that we didn't,so I'd be all for a whole Toho movie about it
One note, Toho didn't create a "new rule" about there only being one Godzilla in every universe. That has been widely miss-reported. Toho corrected the MonsterVerses' use of Godzilla to be that Godzilla is not a species, he is a character. Godzilla is still part of a species, but the species is no longer called "Godzilla." They also likely made this change so that Legendary can't use a monster like Dagon in a film without paying them the licensing for it. They want Legendary to license characters like Godzilla Jr. rather than make their own that they don't have to pay for. But Godzilla is still part of a wider species in canon.
It’s might be Anguirus because in Godzilla raids again we see them fighting before they make their way to the main land and they usually leave each other after a while. So Godzilla might have gone to Odo island after having a battle with anguirus possibly in the water making the fish very worried and swimming up to get away from the threat.
It's possible they could be mating scars as Godzilla's anatomy and form is identical to therapod dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex so it could be possible he got those scars fighting another one of his kind over a mate or fighting for territory or possibly both though I'm only guessing here as our knowledge of dinosaurs is still limited.
The marking on the nurses neck from Goji's beams blast could be like the T-virus and several people get contaminated and they gather up like Clay Face from Batman to make a giant Hedorah! Hive mind kinda thing!
If they go that route I'd rather see Orga, Hedorah is way more about pollution and not being part-Godzilla or a conglomerate being of individuals like Orga.
I think you're potentially correct on the G Vs G angle. Great for marketing and unique for the series. My guess would be a prologue showing the Odo island Godzillasaurus getting into a gnarly fight with another of his species in some unspecified point in ancient history, injured but interrupted by something that naturally creates radiation (meteor impact?). Both injured animals are separated and develop low-key regenerative power. Nuclear weapon tests in Russia in 1950 accidentally excavate the 'other' Godzillasaur, mutating it out of hibernation...boom. We have 2x Godzillas reflecting national rivalry AND we explain the scars.
I think the most plausible explanation is that's he just got those wounds when he smashed in to the light tower... watch it again, he smashed it with that exact side. Maybe he got cut and scratched by the wood.
For the next Godzilla Zero-Minus One sequel title- "Godzilla vs Godzilla Kai". That would be a great idea, if another Godzilla appears, with an origin on why the two Godzilla's are enemies. Something I thought of.
Here's an idea, it was Titanosaurus. Titanosaurus would be a much bigger predator than Godzillasaurus, but more confined to the deeper waters further from land, perhaps Godzilla has to briefly venture into its territory while fishing, before heading back to the safety of the islands, and before the movie they had an encounter which is what led to those scars, which seem way too long and spread apart for something the same size or smaller than Godzilla.
Looking back, the whole “2 Godzillas in -1” theory, it kinda came true, since there were 2 Godzillas, they were just the same individual at different points in life.
Anguirus would be the most likely monster who left the scars on Goji. Also, Anguirus is my top pick for a sequel since it just makes the most sense. Plus, he hasn't been in a movie since 2004. They're both dinosaur-like monsters, and it would be a cool spiritual remake of Raids Again.
You should collab with @DangerVille and talk about it, loved the whole explanation you gave, keep it up buddy, and yes never noticed those scars, you gave me a very chill excitement 👌👌👌
I would love if in the sequel we get two Godzilla’s fighting each other. We’ve kinda had that with Kiryu and Space Godzilla (if that even counts), but yeah it would be a fresh kind of monster battle we haven’t seen yet.
The most fascinating piece of information shared in this video, is that Godzilla, pre-mutation, already had a regenerative healing factor, that is insanely awesome!!!!!!! As to who I think Godzilla will fight in the sequel to Minus One( Plus Two, Zero, +1, etc lol) I agree with you, its probably another Godzilla, or a more haeavily mutated member of his species that is unrecognizable as a Godzillasaurus due to said extreme mutation. Although, due to Mr. Yamazaki's interest, I wonder if we can safely rule out Hedorah, its still a possibility, I mean who knows, his new design could be given claws or some other sharp appendages.Thank you for the video, it was exceptional!!!!!!!
I believe that introducing biollante would be perfect.. the story could continue with Noriko slowly becoming biollante, due to the G-cells that were shedding of godzilla in ginza, and shikishima's love for her would make it heart breaking in the Finale.. "Doc" could study the effects of the G-cells and the environment/fond a was to defeat her and it would tie in perfectly with how Noriko survived/wtf is happening to her at the end of -1.. :) a serious godzilla vs biollante would be awesome..
Honestly I think Manda, Titanosaurus, or Ebirah make more sense as the ones who may have assaulted him. Since he spends so much time in the deep sea, those three track more than anything else. Plus it's easier to explain them being so big even without radiation since there's already a history of larger species in the deeper parts of the ocean.
Maybe Titanosaurus? It was naturally a dinosaurian creature unmutated, so it could plausibly exist (but I’ll admit, Titanosaurus would murder Pre-Irradiated Godzilla unless he were downscaled).
I'm good with the two Godzillas theory as to the scars. However, I doubt that's going to lead to an actual two Godzillas on screen movie. If anything, this second Godzilla will now be THE Godzilla since the first died. Remember, it's a tradition, when a new Godzilla shows up, the old is soon to die. Or, when the old dies, a new one shows up. We'll probably see this new one go up against another monster. I'm hoping for Anguirus.
I still think the next movie will start off with Godzilla and Anguirus randomly coming out of the ocean while they're fighting, and it will be very sudden, so everyone who see's it are shocked, confused, and utterly frightened as their nice sunday afternoon instantly becomes a total nightmare! And after the fight drags on for a good 8mins, Godzilla kills Anguirus and drags his body back to the ocean to eat his fresh kill, and the city is destroyed. But I think the main monster will be either Hedorah, or Biollante. And if its Biollante, I personally believe that the black mark on Noriko's neck will cause her to mutate into Biollante, it would essentially be a first in any Godzilla film. Where a human ultimately mutates into a kaiju!!
I'm thinking it was an un-mutated Angurius. Opening scene is showing them fighting. Then moves forward to show the nuclear explosion from Angurius's perspective and him mutating.
I've read theories online that suggest Noriko survived the blast in Godzilla Minus One because she became infected with Godzilla's regenerative cells. If that's true, then I believe that she will become a monster similar to Sanda or Gaira from "The War of the Gargantuas".
You’re all sleeping on a very critical point to narrow down who it could be. Godzilla in this continuity was said to live in the deep sea and rarely came to the surface, especially setting foot on the island. Therefore, the most likely option is a sea monster, and there are quite a few with claws in the Godzilla mythos. If it isn’t a new, original monster then it could be Titanosaurus, Manda, heck, even Kamoebas could work as an ironic nod to Tokyo S.O.S.
I’m leaning more towards another Godzillasaurs. If look back at Godzilla against Mechagodzilla (2002), the Japanese government took the bones of the 1954 Godzilla to create Mechagodzilla. That movie basically confirmed the existence of the species (although as fans we knew). If they do a retelling of Godzilla Raids Again, I’m fine with Anguirus as the other monster who also got caught up in the same radioactive blast as Godzilla.
If there’s two Godzillas appearing in the next film, I hope the 2nd one has a slightly different skin colour or even face design so we can easily differentiate between the two. Maybe have the 2nd one be greener, with its face slightly elongated like a crocodilian, and give it Kaprosuchus teeth design, as well as slightly ridged eyebrows, and its roars be a mixture of Heisei and Millenium roars. If its mutated, let its heat ray be a mixture of fiery and white colour.
I'm one of the very few Godzilla fans that actually doesn't want a kaiju fight for the Godzilla Minus One films....unless if Noriko turned into something and maybe have to try and find a cure. I think a cute little easter egg or idea would be if Noriko turned into Baragon and sound mix the suit actor roaring into Baragon's roar.
Lol. I love the BTS of that actress as Baragon! If Godzilla doesn't fight anyone, I just don't see too much potential. We've just had Shin Godzilla and Minus One, it's time to move on from the human VS Godzilla story.
@DMan1954 I wouldn't mind seeing the group of men who worked out the plan for Godzilla having a secret plan or something for a Mechagodzilla. Ik the Monsterverse already had Mechagodzilla but I really loved the CGI and I think he should of had more screen time. I'm more into that than a flesh and blood kaiju fight. I'm extremely curious about what will happen to Noriko. It would be interesting if she turned into another Godzilla and they could go the Shin Godzilla route where the song/s could talk about how much pain she is going through but I know that's too close to Shin in the end. I think it would be smart if the second one had Noriko going through her own war and Kōichi has to be by her side like she was when he was fighting his war.
Whatever made those scratches, either was large enough to have talons/claws/whatever to spread those (more or less) parallel scratches that far apart, or it had one attack that worked its way down that side pretty regularly. And it had to be something that just recently happened (though I gather the regeneration was kicked into a much higher gear by Shot Charlie). If a boat ran into him, the screw (or one of them) maybe could have done that? He wouldn't have thought 'humans running this boat', it would just be a weird armored creature like some kind of unlife to him. Then later humans are shooting at him and he can make a distinction, some humans have weird range stings. I have to say, this gets back to the theory that the original plot was about Godzilla's mate being recently slain by humans during the war, losing their child, thus explaining both the title (minus one, in yet another layer), the very odd icon design (which looks like a different animal gutted to death), and that line from the trailer which never made it into the film (that monster will never forgive us). We know Toho's original backplot they developed for Godzilla, hinted at in G54, was that Godzilla lost his final other species members in the H-bomb test and only he survived (so he thought, turned out another one also did which became 'the' Godzilla for the rest of Showa, as well as the some of the alternate canon Millennium films, especially the Mecha-G duology.)
I would love to see a 2nd Godzilla in this continuity. One thats been mutated in a diffrent way and does not look like a "normal" Godzilla would be great. Still a Godzilla but diffrent.
Tbh I would prefer it to be another monster rather than a Godzilla v Godzilla movie. I never liked the idea of having two Godzilla's simultaneously on screen. It just feels like it takes away from what makes Godzilla such a scientific anomaly. Also that type of story of having the same two monsters would fit much better with a War of the Gargantuans remake or sequel. If I had to pick a monster it would either be a naturally occurring creature like Angurius or Rodan. But I think Yamazaki would do an amazing job with King Ghidorah because of Godzilla the ride.
Hey Dman! You know how to Showa era had two Godzillas? Maybe a second Godzilla might be hiding somewhere in Odo Island and is sleeping inside a cave and maybe the humans could awaken causing him to cause destruction and fight monsters What do you think?
imo, odo godzilla and later godzilla may have been different ones, at no point did it get confirmed only "if this is" IF he questions it, i think personally its a separate more territorial one which was likely the one who attacked odo godzilla and won pushing odo to appear at night rather than during the day, while godzilla minus appears during the day specifically. another possible monster ocean wise is Tiamat making a japanese debut.
I'll love to see 2 Godzilla's throwdown and fight each other. Keep Godzilla a Villain like character and the other one like a Heroic figure that is either the same species of him or a subspecies of Godzilla. That'll be awesome to see🔥⚡️✨️💯💯. Can't wait for Godzilla-1.0 Sequel 💯!
The director stated we wanted an another villain monster,so it would make sense for hedorah to still be in there sequel,but he does not have to be the monster who attacked godzilla as well.
There are three monsters I’d like to see possibly be the ones responsible: Varan, Manda, or a new Toho Kaiju. Varan is one of the oldest Kaiju from Toho and needs some love and redemption. Perhaps a new spin could give us a neat version that finally fights other monsters. Manda, while not my preferred, I think would make sense as to who he could fight. And a new Toho Kaiju would be just plain old fun right?
I would like to see Anguirus and I believe they confirmed in the original showa continuity that Godzilla didn’t look much different than he did after the tests. He just gains radiation burn scars and an Atomic Breath. Who’s to say that they don’t do the same thing with Anguirus having a pre-mutated form. But Rodan is also a favorable choice.
I remember when we thought there was gonna be two Godzillas in Minus One. The one we got and one that didn’t get all fucked up by a nuke. I was so hyped to see that lol
I think that a mutated Ankylosaurus/anguirus fought godzilla which makes sense to me because in the sequel to godzilla 1954(had a similar story and reminder to how nukes can affect our world), godzilla fought anguirus
I would love to see Titanosaurus, Gigan or another Godzilla would also be cool. Don't want to see Anguluss, Rodan, or Mothra, they've been in plenty of movies.
What would be a good compromise for the fans and what Toho would want, it would be a team up villian fight. Anguirus and Rodan would fight him together. I would say that Anguirus is a new kaiju irradiated by Soviet testing from Siberia attracted to Japan by Godzillas calls, and Rodan who was irradiated by either testing by another Allied country, nuclear powers such as Great Britain, France, depending on the time frame between films, South Africa, or even pushing it now, China or North Korea, but those are more modern day Nuclear Powers, and were not likely at the time to cause it. Rodan would be the cause of the recent scars that we see the Godzillasauras have, and Godzilla when regenerated, would hunt him down after hearing a call from him after swimming around being careful not to alert humans due to what they caused to his body previously. This would appease Toho as they have been skeptical about letting Godzilla fight new enemies or anyone who isn’t one of his popular antagonists (check out the history of Godzilla Singular Point and listen to how they were worried to include Jet Jaguar) by letting him fight a pretty well known co-host Rodan, and a fan favorite Anguirus who just by fan demand got a figure in the SHMA line, so I think this could be a good option, but unlikely for how the G -1 universe is set so far…
I think you're overlooking the simpler explanation for your "he's got obvious, unhealed scars when he arrives". His naturally occuring healing factor is much slower and less efficient than post nuclear mutation. He's been alive for (potentially) millions of years, with a slowly acting regeneration doing enough to keep him alive - but not entirely immune to physical damage. He might have incurred that wound hundreds or even thousands of years before we see him.
I'll try to stick with monsters that can start out really small then grow to be a much larger size and keeping Godzilla territorial. So I think another Godzilla would be interesting or a Godzilla-like creature could work too. Anguirus and Rodan would be awesome. Also a brand new monster is a good possibility.
While probably very unlikely, Gorosaurus could probably be a realistic pick, would match up well enough with the Godzillasaurus
That could be plausible? Gorosaurus and Godzillasaurus species could be a natural rival to one another?!? I like this a lot.
Gorosaurus or angirus. A juvenile angirus could have fought godzilla then and may have been in activity with soviet nuclear tests (adding gloable politics at the time)
Gorosaurus be a good pick but anguirus be perfect but hopefully they bring in some of the other og Toho monsters
As much as I would love that, I just don't think he's a big enough draw to be on the menu

Hey remember where all thought Godzilla minus one will have two godzilla, one was radiated and one isnt have to battle each other?
Wonder that be in the sequel
I had covered the origin of that theory as well as the name "Godzilla Zero." It was from a misunderstanding of some things overheard from the filming of Godzilla -1.0 mixed with a healthy amount of speculation and clout chasing. lol
Its probably an anguirus if anything, remmember the non mutated ang is only showa continuity. There is litteraly nothing stopping a potential yamazaki anguirus from ALSO having to be mutated.
I completely agree!
I’m new to this channel but cool video
Thanks! I appreciate you checking it out!
A G vs G film with cameos from other Toho monsters would be fun.
It was either anguirus or rodan or another godzillasaurus
One can only hope!
Where's your proof?
Rodan or Angurius for me. Maybe Titanosaurus or even a returning Gabara would be interesting. I’d be pretty bummed out if it turns out to be another Godzilla. If Godzilla fights another Godzilla, I want it to be SpaceGodzilla lol.
Nooooo! Godzilla VS Godzilla is such a fun idea! I gotta see it :(
I’m happy that the claw marks are confirmed to be wounds from something that fought Godzillasauras. But if you had to ask what I think it must’ve been, then here’s my best guesses.
1: another Godzilla.
2: Anguirus.
3: Gorosauras.
4: an entirely brand new monster that will be revealed for the sequel.
5: Varan, because I think he deserves to be brought back & seriously revamped to face MinusGoji in the sequel.
I would LOVE for it to be Varan!
@ dude it would make sense & kinda new for alot of people if Varan was Godzilla’s sequel opponent. How I would see him taking on Godzilla, is that either his spikes generated its own special devastating power. Being able to glide short distances not to fly but dodge Godzilla’s atomic breath. And maybe because he lived in that one lake for so long, something in him helps nullifies Godzilla’s regenerative abilities.
I keep forgetting Titanosaurus exists. And while one of the least likely picks, he would make a perfect choice for a rival underwater species.
I'd also like to extend the theory by saying that Godzilla killed the rival offscreen or it retreated. This version of Godzilla would probably go in for the kill when it can.
Another point for a second Godzilla is... Well it's right there in the movie: They use a recording of Godzilla's roar to make it think that another Godzilla is encroaching on its territory. Why would Godzilla even go after that if he's the only one?
Pretty much any prehistoric-themed monster works when you really think about it (including a secondary Godzilla). The problem with most of them is that they’ll either need to already be the radioactive monster we know and love, or get hit with a nuke during the film. This leads into a big problem with it being a second Godzilla, since that would either require a retcon where two Godzillas were hit by the bomb in first film or for the sequel to dedicate some time to showing a second Godzilla getting nuked (as well as giving a reason for the humans to do the same thing for a second time).
The monster that I would want Godzilla to fight the most is Godzilla but sadly if toho doesn't want him to be a species in the Monsterverse , then what's stopping them from having the same opinion with their own Godzilla. I think that a second Godzilla is what Yamazaki was going for with the scars and maybe if toho is putting as much faith as it seems in Yamazaki with the future Godzilla films, then maybe he will be able to change their mind or maybe they will just be going whatever he does and if that's the case then i believe that Godzilla vs Godzilla is verry possible.
I don't wanna get too much into it, but Toho didn't stop Legendary from making Godzilla a species. They stopped Legendary from turning "Godzilla" into a species. Godzilla is the character, not the species. There are more Godzilla-like creatures in the MonsterVerse. That is still canon.
The plot thickens!
I think Anguirus would be awesome to see after all we have not seen Anguirus in a film since Godzilla: Final Wars! And if anguirus was possibly killed off in the Monsterverse then why not in the minus one universe! Also great video!
I completely agree!
Please be gåyera foe fucks sak
I een wanting ti see godzilla fight gåmera... for years
Damn bro, that’s a gigantic Godzilla collection in the background
9:33 unfortunately there's a rule against multiple Godzillas but we could get a new Godzilla loke creature
Space Godzilla was essentially a second Godzilla
Wow that is true that was not only before the rule was made but he's also different enough that he's legally distinctly a different monster (is crystals) so by toho's count he doesn't count as a Godzilla
@@Readspiraloyster a one for one copy of Godzilla wouldn't be interesting IMO.
Actually it could be very interesting it's just a matter of writing the story to explore the implications of something like that which unfortunately is something else that toho has a problem with
@@Readspiraloyster could be interesting but i like seeing different creature designs as well as the lore. Two of the same seems pretty boring to me.
I would not bet on the two Godzillas 'cause of that bs new rule that he has to be one and only one specimen in every universe.
Anyway,my hope,for once,follows the flow,I want it to be Anguirus,for a remake of Raids Again standpoint and because best boi Angy deserves better,it's been 20 years since we've seen him (not counting SP) and he needs to star in a movie again,I would love to see a (alive) MonsterVerse variant,but if it's gonna be a Toho movie,then so be it,but we need him back!
My second answer is Rodan,I agree with you,we also need a Godzilla vs. Rodan flick,and I personally need it because I was sure we were getting that fight in KOTM,I was so bummed that we didn't,so I'd be all for a whole Toho movie about it
One note, Toho didn't create a "new rule" about there only being one Godzilla in every universe. That has been widely miss-reported.
Toho corrected the MonsterVerses' use of Godzilla to be that Godzilla is not a species, he is a character. Godzilla is still part of a species, but the species is no longer called "Godzilla." They also likely made this change so that Legendary can't use a monster like Dagon in a film without paying them the licensing for it. They want Legendary to license characters like Godzilla Jr. rather than make their own that they don't have to pay for.
But Godzilla is still part of a wider species in canon.
It’s might be Anguirus because in Godzilla raids again we see them fighting before they make their way to the main land and they usually leave each other after a while. So Godzilla might have gone to Odo island after having a battle with anguirus possibly in the water making the fish very worried and swimming up to get away from the threat.
Im gonna lose my sh*t if they turn noriko into another Godzilla like those theories before minus one released
I hope she doesn't. She deserves better
Biollante
I wonder with noriko having his dna could develop a psychic connection making her the Miki saegusa of the minus one continuity
It's possible they could be mating scars as Godzilla's anatomy and form is identical to therapod dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex so it could be possible he got those scars fighting another one of his kind over a mate or fighting for territory or possibly both though I'm only guessing here as our knowledge of dinosaurs is still limited.
I'm still going for zilla as a still pre radiated Godzilla
He'd have to be partially radiated because the Odo Godzilla is pre-radiated.
@@DMan1954 true
Titanosaurus would be awesome
The marking on the nurses neck from Goji's beams blast could be like the T-virus and several people get contaminated and they gather up like Clay Face from Batman to make a giant Hedorah! Hive mind kinda thing!
If they go that route I'd rather see Orga, Hedorah is way more about pollution and not being part-Godzilla or a conglomerate being of individuals like Orga.
Scars were done by Major Spielberg's forces- "Take that you dinosaur!" 😆
I think you're potentially correct on the G Vs G angle. Great for marketing and unique for the series. My guess would be a prologue showing the Odo island Godzillasaurus getting into a gnarly fight with another of his species in some unspecified point in ancient history, injured but interrupted by something that naturally creates radiation (meteor impact?). Both injured animals are separated and develop low-key regenerative power. Nuclear weapon tests in Russia in 1950 accidentally excavate the 'other' Godzillasaur, mutating it out of hibernation...boom. We have 2x Godzillas reflecting national rivalry AND we explain the scars.
I think the most plausible explanation is that's he just got those wounds when he smashed in to the light tower... watch it again, he smashed it with that exact side. Maybe he got cut and scratched by the wood.
I doubt splinters cut him up that badly those scratches look more like teeth and claws
I wouldn't mind seeing two Godzillas and angeris.
Same here!
@@DMan1954Male and female Godzillas vs Anguirus!
Why minus one really having bad existence 💀💀💀
The poor lad just wants to chase fish and be left alone
I think it should be called Godzilla Zero
Same!
I wanna see a GmK type movie for the sequel
For the next Godzilla Zero-Minus One sequel title- "Godzilla vs Godzilla Kai". That would be a great idea, if another Godzilla appears, with an origin on why the two Godzilla's are enemies. Something I thought of.
1:07 seeing Minus One on your TV back there is cool
Ahh! I'm glad you appreciated it!
Here's an idea, it was Titanosaurus. Titanosaurus would be a much bigger predator than Godzillasaurus, but more confined to the deeper waters further from land, perhaps Godzilla has to briefly venture into its territory while fishing, before heading back to the safety of the islands, and before the movie they had an encounter which is what led to those scars, which seem way too long and spread apart for something the same size or smaller than Godzilla.
Looking back, the whole “2 Godzillas in -1” theory, it kinda came true, since there were 2 Godzillas, they were just the same individual at different points in life.
Gotta love ❤ the movie playing in the background in your room. Nice touch 👌
Ahh!! Thanks! Glad someone liked it
I knew that those scars from the godzillasaurus would be touched up upon later.
That's my guess
The Green Gargantua dammit!
If only!!!!
Anguirus would be the most likely monster who left the scars on Goji. Also, Anguirus is my top pick for a sequel since it just makes the most sense. Plus, he hasn't been in a movie since 2004. They're both dinosaur-like monsters, and it would be a cool spiritual remake of Raids Again.
I would throw out the possibility of it being Ghidorah. Besides another G-Man, Ghidorah could totally put a hurt into Godzilla.
You should collab with @DangerVille and talk about it, loved the whole explanation you gave, keep it up buddy, and yes never noticed those scars, you gave me a very chill excitement 👌👌👌
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video :)
I would love if in the sequel we get two Godzilla’s fighting each other. We’ve kinda had that with Kiryu and Space Godzilla (if that even counts), but yeah it would be a fresh kind of monster battle we haven’t seen yet.
Can't believe Next Year will be 11 years since I subscribed ✨
Two-Godzillas, something no film has done - but hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day!
King Ceasars a good option too. Maybe gigan
The most fascinating piece of information shared in this video, is that Godzilla, pre-mutation, already had a regenerative healing factor, that is insanely awesome!!!!!!! As to who I think Godzilla will fight in the sequel to Minus One( Plus Two, Zero, +1, etc lol) I agree with you, its probably another Godzilla, or a more haeavily mutated member of his species that is unrecognizable as a Godzillasaurus due to said extreme mutation. Although, due to Mr. Yamazaki's interest, I wonder if we can safely rule out Hedorah, its still a possibility, I mean who knows, his new design could be given claws or some other sharp appendages.Thank you for the video, it was exceptional!!!!!!!
GGs my guy
Could noriko turn into the humanoid Godzillas from shin Godzilla
That would be PRICELESS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
Maybe so
#TeamGodzilla Godzilla The Character is only of his species that’s powerful inside and out😍💙🙏
In a fight between Godzilla and Godzilla, I root for Godzilla.
@@DMan1954which one?
I believe that introducing biollante would be perfect.. the story could continue with Noriko slowly becoming biollante, due to the G-cells that were shedding of godzilla in ginza, and shikishima's love for her would make it heart breaking in the Finale.. "Doc" could study the effects of the G-cells and the environment/fond a was to defeat her and it would tie in perfectly with how Noriko survived/wtf is happening to her at the end of -1.. :) a serious godzilla vs biollante would be awesome..
Honestly I think Manda, Titanosaurus, or Ebirah make more sense as the ones who may have assaulted him.
Since he spends so much time in the deep sea, those three track more than anything else.
Plus it's easier to explain them being so big even without radiation since there's already a history of larger species in the deeper parts of the ocean.
That's what I've been wondering since it came out
Is it possible if the other creature that gave him the scars affected his regeneration
Maybe?
Maybe Titanosaurus? It was naturally a dinosaurian creature unmutated, so it could plausibly exist (but I’ll admit, Titanosaurus would murder Pre-Irradiated Godzilla unless he were downscaled).
I'm good with the two Godzillas theory as to the scars. However, I doubt that's going to lead to an actual two Godzillas on screen movie. If anything, this second Godzilla will now be THE Godzilla since the first died. Remember, it's a tradition, when a new Godzilla shows up, the old is soon to die. Or, when the old dies, a new one shows up. We'll probably see this new one go up against another monster. I'm hoping for Anguirus.
7:50 Yup.
If its not Godzilla maybe its another Kaiju, im here for it! I hope we slso get Biolante as the set up is literally right there!
I still think the next movie will start off with Godzilla and Anguirus randomly coming out of the ocean while they're fighting, and it will be very sudden, so everyone who see's it are shocked, confused, and utterly frightened as their nice sunday afternoon instantly becomes a total nightmare! And after the fight drags on for a good 8mins, Godzilla kills Anguirus and drags his body back to the ocean to eat his fresh kill, and the city is destroyed. But I think the main monster will be either Hedorah, or Biollante. And if its Biollante, I personally believe that the black mark on Noriko's neck will cause her to mutate into Biollante, it would essentially be a first in any Godzilla film. Where a human ultimately mutates into a kaiju!!
I love this idea!!!!! 💡 I’d be all for that!!!!
Clearly those are Gargantua scars.
If only!!!
I'm thinking it was an un-mutated Angurius. Opening scene is showing them fighting. Then moves forward to show the nuclear explosion from Angurius's perspective and him mutating.
I've read theories online that suggest Noriko survived the blast in Godzilla Minus One because she became infected with Godzilla's regenerative cells. If that's true, then I believe that she will become a monster similar to Sanda or Gaira from "The War of the Gargantuas".
Who else saw the Godzilla 0.1 trailer playing on the tv in the background
What about Ebirah?
I think that would be a really natural choice.
I just feel that wouldn't be exciting enough for Toho to include in a sequel
I love the idea of a second Godzilla and them going at it
Another Godzillasaurs seems the most likely and most exciting possibility.
You’re all sleeping on a very critical point to narrow down who it could be. Godzilla in this continuity was said to live in the deep sea and rarely came to the surface, especially setting foot on the island.
Therefore, the most likely option is a sea monster, and there are quite a few with claws in the Godzilla mythos. If it isn’t a new, original monster then it could be Titanosaurus, Manda, heck, even Kamoebas could work as an ironic nod to Tokyo S.O.S.
I’m leaning more towards another Godzillasaurs. If look back at Godzilla against Mechagodzilla (2002), the Japanese government took the bones of the 1954 Godzilla to create Mechagodzilla. That movie basically confirmed the existence of the species (although as fans we knew). If they do a retelling of Godzilla Raids Again, I’m fine with Anguirus as the other monster who also got caught up in the same radioactive blast as Godzilla.
If there’s two Godzillas appearing in the next film, I hope the 2nd one has a slightly different skin colour or even face design so we can easily differentiate between the two. Maybe have the 2nd one be greener, with its face slightly elongated like a crocodilian, and give it Kaprosuchus teeth design, as well as slightly ridged eyebrows, and its roars be a mixture of Heisei and Millenium roars. If its mutated, let its heat ray be a mixture of fiery and white colour.
I'm one of the very few Godzilla fans that actually doesn't want a kaiju fight for the Godzilla Minus One films....unless if Noriko turned into something and maybe have to try and find a cure. I think a cute little easter egg or idea would be if Noriko turned into Baragon and sound mix the suit actor roaring into Baragon's roar.
Lol. I love the BTS of that actress as Baragon!
If Godzilla doesn't fight anyone, I just don't see too much potential. We've just had Shin Godzilla and Minus One, it's time to move on from the human VS Godzilla story.
@DMan1954 I wouldn't mind seeing the group of men who worked out the plan for Godzilla having a secret plan or something for a Mechagodzilla. Ik the Monsterverse already had Mechagodzilla but I really loved the CGI and I think he should of had more screen time. I'm more into that than a flesh and blood kaiju fight. I'm extremely curious about what will happen to Noriko. It would be interesting if she turned into another Godzilla and they could go the Shin Godzilla route where the song/s could talk about how much pain she is going through but I know that's too close to Shin in the end. I think it would be smart if the second one had Noriko going through her own war and Kōichi has to be by her side like she was when he was fighting his war.
Whatever made those scratches, either was large enough to have talons/claws/whatever to spread those (more or less) parallel scratches that far apart, or it had one attack that worked its way down that side pretty regularly. And it had to be something that just recently happened (though I gather the regeneration was kicked into a much higher gear by Shot Charlie). If a boat ran into him, the screw (or one of them) maybe could have done that? He wouldn't have thought 'humans running this boat', it would just be a weird armored creature like some kind of unlife to him. Then later humans are shooting at him and he can make a distinction, some humans have weird range stings.
I have to say, this gets back to the theory that the original plot was about Godzilla's mate being recently slain by humans during the war, losing their child, thus explaining both the title (minus one, in yet another layer), the very odd icon design (which looks like a different animal gutted to death), and that line from the trailer which never made it into the film (that monster will never forgive us). We know Toho's original backplot they developed for Godzilla, hinted at in G54, was that Godzilla lost his final other species members in the H-bomb test and only he survived (so he thought, turned out another one also did which became 'the' Godzilla for the rest of Showa, as well as the some of the alternate canon Millennium films, especially the Mecha-G duology.)
I would love to see a 2nd Godzilla in this continuity. One thats been mutated in a diffrent way and does not look like a "normal" Godzilla would be great. Still a Godzilla but diffrent.
I’m hoping it’s titanosaurus in the next movie. He deserves more love and I feel he fits well with this universe.
Tbh I would prefer it to be another monster rather than a Godzilla v Godzilla movie. I never liked the idea of having two Godzilla's simultaneously on screen. It just feels like it takes away from what makes Godzilla such a scientific anomaly. Also that type of story of having the same two monsters would fit much better with a War of the Gargantuans remake or sequel.
If I had to pick a monster it would either be a naturally occurring creature like Angurius or Rodan. But I think Yamazaki would do an amazing job with King Ghidorah because of Godzilla the ride.
Now I need to know were he got scar's
Hey Dman! You know how to Showa era had two Godzillas? Maybe a second Godzilla might be hiding somewhere in Odo Island and is sleeping inside a cave and maybe the humans could awaken causing him to cause destruction and fight monsters
What do you think?
imo, odo godzilla and later godzilla may have been different ones, at no point did it get confirmed only "if this is" IF he questions it, i think personally its a separate more territorial one which was likely the one who attacked odo godzilla and won pushing odo to appear at night rather than during the day, while godzilla minus appears during the day specifically. another possible monster ocean wise is Tiamat making a japanese debut.
8:30 doesnt Raids Again mention that Godzilla and Anguirus are ancient rivals? That would imply Godzilla was also kaiju sized, just not irradiated
I'll love to see 2 Godzilla's throwdown and fight each other. Keep Godzilla a Villain like character and the other one like a Heroic figure that is either the same species of him or a subspecies of Godzilla. That'll be awesome to see🔥⚡️✨️💯💯. Can't wait for Godzilla-1.0 Sequel 💯!
Godzilla. Clash of the kings. Epic movie name for two Godzilla’s or a epic name for King Kong vs godzilla
The director stated we wanted an another villain monster,so it would make sense for hedorah to still be in there sequel,but he does not have to be the monster who attacked godzilla as well.
There are three monsters I’d like to see possibly be the ones responsible: Varan, Manda, or a new Toho Kaiju.
Varan is one of the oldest Kaiju from Toho and needs some love and redemption. Perhaps a new spin could give us a neat version that finally fights other monsters.
Manda, while not my preferred, I think would make sense as to who he could fight.
And a new Toho Kaiju would be just plain old fun right?
I would like to see Anguirus and I believe they confirmed in the original showa continuity that Godzilla didn’t look much different than he did after the tests. He just gains radiation burn scars and an Atomic Breath. Who’s to say that they don’t do the same thing with Anguirus having a pre-mutated form. But Rodan is also a favorable choice.
I remember when we thought there was gonna be two Godzillas in Minus One. The one we got and one that didn’t get all fucked up by a nuke. I was so hyped to see that lol
I think that a mutated Ankylosaurus/anguirus fought godzilla which makes sense to me because in the sequel to godzilla 1954(had a similar story and reminder to how nukes can affect our world), godzilla fought anguirus
I would like to see Godzilla battle Anguirus or Varan with a special power!!! Maybe lightning!!!
I would love to see Titanosaurus, Gigan or another Godzilla would also be cool. Don't want to see Anguluss, Rodan, or Mothra, they've been in plenty of movies.
What would be a good compromise for the fans and what Toho would want, it would be a team up villian fight. Anguirus and Rodan would fight him together. I would say that Anguirus is a new kaiju irradiated by Soviet testing from Siberia attracted to Japan by Godzillas calls, and Rodan who was irradiated by either testing by another Allied country, nuclear powers such as Great Britain, France, depending on the time frame between films, South Africa, or even pushing it now, China or North Korea, but those are more modern day Nuclear Powers, and were not likely at the time to cause it. Rodan would be the cause of the recent scars that we see the Godzillasauras have, and Godzilla when regenerated, would hunt him down after hearing a call from him after swimming around being careful not to alert humans due to what they caused to his body previously. This would appease Toho as they have been skeptical about letting Godzilla fight new enemies or anyone who isn’t one of his popular antagonists (check out the history of Godzilla Singular Point and listen to how they were worried to include Jet Jaguar) by letting him fight a pretty well known co-host Rodan, and a fan favorite Anguirus who just by fan demand got a figure in the SHMA line, so I think this could be a good option, but unlikely for how the G -1 universe is set so far…
I think you're overlooking the simpler explanation for your "he's got obvious, unhealed scars when he arrives". His naturally occuring healing factor is much slower and less efficient than post nuclear mutation. He's been alive for (potentially) millions of years, with a slowly acting regeneration doing enough to keep him alive - but not entirely immune to physical damage. He might have incurred that wound hundreds or even thousands of years before we see him.
I'll try to stick with monsters that can start out really small then grow to be a much larger size and keeping Godzilla territorial. So I think another Godzilla would be interesting or a Godzilla-like creature could work too. Anguirus and Rodan would be awesome. Also a brand new monster is a good possibility.
