"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
Tony Stark: I have the saddest heroic death of any hero. Godzilla: Kid, I was an anti-hero for the majority of the 90s, and I still had a more sad heroic death than you ever will.
It almost frightens me when Godzilla gets to the point where he's either so exhausted, or in so much pain, that his roars are little more than grumbles.
Poor Godzilla, first his home was destroyed, and then his son died. Godzilla then melted to the ground because of his radioactivity. This ended the Heisei Era, but his legacy continued.
4:20 Once, there was a fierce battle. And a quarter century has passed since you were gone. People forgot, but didn’t mind because it had been peaceful. But, Here they come. - Miki Sagusa Godzilla Vs Gigan Rex (2022)
What hurts me especially about Godzilla's death is knowing that he died in grief. After the destruction of Birth Island, despite his horrid mutation caused by it, basically running a nuclear fever, all he could think about was finding his son. He spent almost the entire movie searching for him, hoping he's alright, despite not even being related by blood. And as soon as he found him, they were torn apart again by Destoroyah, who killed the only thing Godzilla truly cared about before his very eyes. He ultimately let his anger out on Destoroyah, but the damage was already done. Finally, as Godzilla dies, he uses his dying breath to let out one last roar, but not fierce, proud, intimidating or strong as the King Of The Monsters did so many times, but tired, weak and sad. As his live fades, he felt as though he had failed, never knowing that he actually won. His energy revives his son, and the will of the king is carried on into the next millenium. _You have lived a battle, now rest in peace, Heisei Godzilla, in my opinion to this very day the most iconic incarnation of them all._
This scene hurts me more since we've lost another Godzilla legend today, Kenpachiro Satsuma... May he rest in peace with Haruo Nakajima and Akira Ifukube. No matter how cheesy the Heisei series was, that series will always be a special place in my heart. Especially, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah...
Godzilla's death was indeed very painful to watch as a kid. But then, to see Godzilla Jr fully resurrected as a full grown adult, I literally thought Godzilla Jr will carry on his father's legacy
The most solemn thing about this scene is for the entirety of the Heisei series, humanity was actively trying to find any way possible to finally defeat and kill Godzilla. Yet, when he finally dies: Nobody cheers. Nobody celebrates. Nobody starts clapping. Nobody says a word. They simply stand there in silence feeling pity and sorrow for this creature that, for all intents and purposes, was nothing more than a victim of Mankind’s hubris.
Saddest moment in godzilla history, the first time I watched this I was in shock. It’s hard to believe the one Godzilla we love and made this franchise come to life, suddenly dies because of his own ability’s. Thats when I saw Godzilla junior evolve, I knew this franchise wouldn’t come to an end. when I saw this in g fest, the audience also cried as if it was their first time watching the film. This will remain an unforgettable moment in godzilla history.
I can understand why the Audence was crying I can related to the Audeance I felt the same way when I lost my grandpa long live Heisei godzilla 1984-1995
Something a lot of people dont catch is at 2:16 the flesh from his upper face and throat fall out from the eye sockets through his bottom jaw. Its what actually cuts off his roar, his vocal cords melt off right after his chest rips open and his heart explodes. Which is what the orange stuff is. Kawakita really wanted his death to be gruesome. What really sets the tone is unlike the 54 Godzilla who struggles as its dying this Godzilla just stands there. This is done on purpose as the idea was to sell to the audience losing Jr was more painful than the pain Godzilla is actually going through in his final moments. Going so far as to make Godzilla sound like he's sobbing as he's dying mourning he couldnt save his son.
This beautiful ending shows how well executed the Heisei series was. It built up its characters so perfectly and made this ending so much more impactful. I still cry when I watch this. It’s such a powerful send off to the greatest series of Godzilla films imo.
I saw this movie when I was a kid and it still makes me cry so hard as an adult. I literally can't watch this ending without crying. It just goes to show you how good this timeline if Godzilla was. Saddest Godzilla movie period. It would be perfect to see something similar done in legendary. The last movie as our king of the monsters fights a creature born from man's foolishness. But in the end, he wins, but at the cost of his own life. The world left in ruins due to monsters fight. Earth may never recover either. But they still mourn his death.
This scene's theme stirred in my head when I heard about Haruo Nakajima, the original Godzilla suit actor's death, and it made me break down. That's how powerful this scene was to be resonant with loss of a legendary actor.
@@anarchism50 They were trying to cool him down so he wouldn't destroy everything since he is a living/melting down nuclear reactor. Without freezing him, the entire city/planet would be ash.
Don't worry this godzilla is actually a shin godzilla they thought it was godzilla but it wasn't the other godzilla wasn't around with shin godzilla but the other godzilla is 23 years old in 2023 he is still alive he is unstoppable he is still young and he is extremely powerful.
I'm honestly still bummed that Toho decided against continuing the Heisei series with Junior, due to Zilla '98 being in production. It would've been awesome seeing Junior following in his father's footsteps and battling other kaiju to protect civilization, which would make sense since he was initially raised by humans in GvsMG2.
One of the hardest cries I’ve had as a kid. Still makes me tear up. Then the haunting rebirth of the son of Godzilla to tie things completely together. Such utterly well-done cinematography. I am still left in awe every time I watch.
True so sad. Just watched it now. same as the kongs endings when he dropped of the tower saying "goodbye" to the ladies. But they always come back in another good version.
I’m a very hardy person. I hardly get emotional over anything. But I’ll admit this made me tear up a bit. The confusion and fear on Godzilla’s face when they start shooting him and the pain in his roar as he slowly melts away combined with the music got to me. Goes to show how amazingly executed this was
Good news!!! Those were cyro weapons, they were tying to save him and cool him down! I'm not sure why they waited so long though.... I'm guessing the hotter he got the more powerful he was, but they had to keep him cool enough to not go nukeywukey
They were firing at him with freeze lasers and missiles to try and mitigate the damage from the meltdown. He was frozen once earlier in the movie and it just delayed the inevitable….Godzillas death.
I didn't cry when viewing this Godzilla movie, but I was kinda old when I saw it. However, I *DID* cry when Optimus Prime was killed by Megatron in the Transformers animated movie. I was a kid, dammit.....
It’s quite painful and emotional seeing Gojira in mental and physical pain. The loss of his adopted son that he spent the entire movie to search for only to have him ripped in half and die to the hands of Destoroyah, and the pain of literally melting because of something he could not have controlled. To die to the hands of something that you never thought would’ve happened to yourself. He cried in pain, in pain of his uncontrollable amount of energy and the pain of his lost son. He let out one last cry, a cry of failure that he could not save his son, but also a cry of relief as he knew that when he died he would see his son. However, to Gojira’s delight, his son was resurrected with his death, and his spirit lives on.
Junior has been Reborn. And now he has Inherit the Powers, the Size, and the Title of the New King of the Monsters. He’s gonna make his Father proud once he takes his place
I will never forget how depressing and sad this scene was. The audience just sat there watching Godzilla die. Now I feel more depressed cuz I keep thinking about Jr in this scene.
Wait I just died in 1954 and now my son who was on fire had a meltdown and his son just turned into an adult? My family is confusing but also sad that my son died cuz of meltdown :(
I remember reading a comment somewhere that hits the feels more. When Jr. is revived and roaring, he was actually calling out to his dad but of course, no response… I’m like damn, as if the ending wasn’t enough of a gut punch.
@@genociderex93imperator84 I don't think so. While not canon, the Godzilla vs Gigan Rex short implies that Junior dissapeared after GvD, and came back to fight for the Earth again 25 years later. It makes sense since Junior was a less agressive, more calm and reasonable version of his old man
Long live the king, even though I never fully seen this movie, I can tell that Godzilla was in a lot of pain and seeing him in his final moments really is heartbreaking.
I decided to revisit Godzilla vs Destoroyah and it was such a beautiful film, Godzilla's meltdown always get's me in the feels due to us of course knowing this Godzilla for so long. I loved the growling before He started to melt completely it sounded as if He was crying or just struggling to even breathe, and the roar was just so upsetting to listen to. Godzilla in this scene wasn't Angry, or triumphant, He lost the only thing He cared about and soon his own life, and all He could do as He started to melt was just sob, He never moved an inch while in meltdown. Like another comment stated the pain of loosing Jr was more painful than the meltdown Godzilla was experiencing. And I loved the calls from Jr, they sounded as if He was calling out to Godzilla, and to of course no response. And of course this was Akira Ifukube's last Godzilla film, this was more a less a farewell to both Godzilla and Ifukube himself. His Track "Requiem" hit me so hard during Godzilla's death. Bravo to everyone who worked not just on this film but the entirety of the Heisei series. And special thanks to Kochi Kawakita for His hard work making all those special effects to make Meltdown not only look so good, but make it look so real and painful.
@@jarrodskufcagaming5203 I said as if, not He was. I did know that the director said this scene was trying to show him crying but when I first viewed it I did think it was him struggling to breathe and or crying, the ladder of which being correct. Non the less thank you for letting me know
This scene now even hits harder, with the recent passing of Kenpachiro Satsuma. Thank you Mr. Satsuma, for have giving us a childhood that we couldn't have asked for. Rest in peace you legend, long live the king.
@Sandra Chudziak but Junior didn’t stay dead for long. As the leftover radiation emitted from Godzilla’s meltdown was enough to resurrect Junior as an adult. Turning him into a new Godzilla ready for action. But the series would continually be rebooted dropping him all together.
@@tyrannosaurusrex3629 Oh that one. I heard about that short. But I haven’t watched it yet. Also FinalGoji is not Junior. That’s just a fan theory that claims FinalGoji is Junior as an adult. But it was confirmed that FinalGoji is a completely different Godzilla and not the adult Junior we saw at the end of Godzilla Vs Destoroyah. So that theory was debunked. The same thing was brought up with Godzilla 2000. But that incarnation was also confirmed to be a completely new and different Godzilla.
4:28 A new begines... To new era........ Millenium.................................... A new gojira births A soul for another soul........ "Most epic gojira roar"
I heard that a film maker confirmed that mv godzilla won't die, but if it has too.. mv could most likely continue with a godzilla Jr unlike heisei era.
@@-ThatGuy_ IIRC Toho had it in the rights agreement that legendary can't kill godzilla unless its either the last film of the mv or godzilla Jr is a thing. So they probably could introduce godzilla Jr in the 3rd film. Ahe him up over time and then kill the main godzilla
Rest in Peace to another Godzilla actor Kenpachiro Satsuma May 27 1947-December 16 2023. Thank you for all the times you made me laugh and scream for joy and cry for sadness and all the lessons you taught me about the importance of nature and our duty to keep her safe thank you for being Godzilla
The fact that this is such an old movie yet it still gave me tears in my eyes shows how good or sad they made Godzillas death and it takes a lot to make myself cry
This scene was super sad to me, but in a "WOAH" sense. It then put tears in my eyes after I learned the significance of the music. Made by the Legend himself, the creator of the original theme. When he was given the task of making another musical masterpiece he was brought to an emotional point on the inside, because he felt the music he was composing felt like he was composing funeral music for his own son. His baby boy which he helped raise was dying, and ironically enough Godzilla had lost his own son in the very movie the music would be composed for. Not to mention the final cries out from Godzilla is like he is crying out for his boy, or something more heart wrenching, Godzilla giving up his life by exerting energy to explode his heart to try and save his boy before all the radiation runs out. This will always send me on an emotional/thought filled trip over those things.
It's even more significant that that. Requiem was the very last musical piece that Ifukube ever composed for Godzilla, and one of the last pieces he ever composed before he passed away.
@1:31, this scene is almost like an orchestra. The tanks are the instruments and Godzilla is the conductor conducting his final piece... Absolutely breathtaking
"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
Amen.
Guess that is why this 56 year old man has tears in his eyes. Honda-sensei knew.

This was such a heartbreaking death. It's what I always remember the most... :(
I cried more at this point in the movie than most family deaths.
Poor Godzilla, first his home was destroyed, and then his son died.
Godzilla then melted to the ground because of his radioactivity.
This ended the Heisei Era, but his legacy continued.
This movie was so good and I’ve seen Godzilla go so far and it feels so emotional to see him go down like this.

This will never not make me cry 😢
A bit of a production observation. If you pause at 1:42 you can see the air holes in the suit for the actor to breath. Right along the neck.

To die to the hands of something that you never thought would’ve happened to yourself.
He cried in pain, in pain of his uncontrollable amount of energy and the pain of his lost son. He let out one last cry, a cry of failure that he could not save his son, but also a cry of relief as he knew that when he died he would see his son. However, to Gojira’s delight, his son was resurrected with his death, and his spirit lives on.

Girls: I cant belive he didnt cry in Titanic! Do men even have fealings?
Where Men cried: 2:05
I will never forget how depressing and sad this scene was. The audience just sat there watching Godzilla die.
Now I feel more depressed cuz I keep thinking about Jr in this scene.
Wait I just died in 1954 and now my son who was on fire had a meltdown and his son just turned into an adult? My family is confusing but also sad that my son died cuz of meltdown :(
Hol up. Wait a min have I had too much sons earlier and now there’s only one left
I remember reading a comment somewhere that hits the feels more. When Jr. is revived and roaring, he was actually calling out to his dad but of course, no response… I’m like damn, as if the ending wasn’t enough of a gut punch.
@@Igorgetyou95 He eventually turns on humanity, blaming them for his father's death, and a new war begins.

I don't think so.
While not canon, the Godzilla vs Gigan Rex short implies that Junior dissapeared after GvD, and came back to fight for the Earth again 25 years later.
It makes sense since Junior was a less agressive, more calm and reasonable version of his old man
I will agree with the fans this is the saddest Godzilla moment in history and will live on forever and ever
Long live the king of the heisei era
Truly the greatest moment in all of Kaiju cinema history. This was literally the end of an era.
怪獣王の最期に相応しい。
神々しささえ感じる。
その後のエネルギーを吸収し成長したジュニアが2代目として濃煙と光の中から・・・。
RIP Kenpachiro Satsuma
1947-2023
My childhood Godzilla ❤
Long live the king, even though I never fully seen this movie, I can tell that Godzilla was in a lot of pain and seeing him in his final moments really is heartbreaking.
Watch it. Its good.
You've got to see it man. Best Godzilla movie out there (in my opinion)
子供のころからゴジラが大好きで、そんなゴジラの最期の死様に、まだ子供だったけどすごく泣いた
怪獣王と言われたゴジラが溶けるように、最後の咆哮を上げて崩れる姿は悲しく神々しくあった
R.I.P. Kenpachiro Satsuma, who played Godzilla in this film, and in the six films before). We miss you!!!
Rest in peace Godzilla a king of the monsters.
Rip heisei king ;(
You mean the king of the monsters
@@rabik3920That made me cry 😢
That last line really is speaking directly to the audience.
"My work with Godzilla is finished."
2:16 is what got me crying
このシーンを見た時一つの時代が終わり新しい時代の始まり悲しくもあり嬉しくもあるジュニアが生きていたそしてゴジラのエネルギーをそのまま受け継いだ形になった
🤔
I decided to revisit Godzilla vs Destoroyah and it was such a beautiful film, Godzilla's meltdown always get's me in the feels due to us of course knowing this Godzilla for so long. I loved the growling before He started to melt completely it sounded as if He was crying or just struggling to even breathe, and the roar was just so upsetting to listen to. Godzilla in this scene wasn't Angry, or triumphant, He lost the only thing He cared about and soon his own life, and all He could do as He started to melt was just sob, He never moved an inch while in meltdown. Like another comment stated the pain of loosing Jr was more painful than the meltdown Godzilla was experiencing. And I loved the calls from Jr, they sounded as if He was calling out to Godzilla, and to of course no response. And of course this was Akira Ifukube's last Godzilla film, this was more a less a farewell to both Godzilla and Ifukube himself. His Track "Requiem" hit me so hard during Godzilla's death. Bravo to everyone who worked not just on this film but the entirety of the Heisei series. And special thanks to Kochi Kawakita for His hard work making all those special effects to make Meltdown not only look so good, but make it look so real and painful.
no that is not the reason. he was crying because he lost his son. PERIOD. that is the truth and reason, PERIOD
@@jarrodskufcagaming5203 I said as if, not He was. I did know that the director said this scene was trying to show him crying but when I first viewed it I did think it was him struggling to breathe and or crying, the ladder of which being correct. Non the less thank you for letting me know
Losing*
薩摩剣八郎さん、ありがとうございました
3:13三枝未希としての心境なんだろうけど、女優・小高恵美さんとしてのこの瞬間の本音も聞きたいですね。
This scene now even hits harder, with the recent passing of Kenpachiro Satsuma. Thank you Mr. Satsuma, for have giving us a childhood that we couldn't have asked for.
Rest in peace you legend, long live the king.
0:30 ここからゴジラのレクイエムが流れ始める。怪獣映画で感動したのはこの作品ぐらいで、BGMが良い味をだしている。
2:14 断末魔の叫びが如く最後の咆哮が何とも悲しくなる。身体が崩壊する描写が何とも言い難い綺麗で美しい散り方。
因みにゴジラが死んだということで、この後にゴジラの葬式が開かれた。
ゴジラにも寿命があるのが、なんとも
いえない。微妙
@@shunblack332 怪獣だって生き物っていうのは怪獣映画全般の常識というかそういうテーマで作られてるからなにもおかしくないと思うけど
生物らしさも怪獣達の魅力だよ
4:02 Life finds a way....
Jrが新しい『ゴジラ』として誕生した瞬間泣いたわ
"A monster always accept their good fate"
Adam wingard just announced during an interview that in the third instalment of GxK he wants a emotional Godzilla movie like (Godzilla vs Destoroyah)
I remember watching this and it was the saddest part of the Godzilla franchise and I had tears in my eyes, he still had a son to look after 🥺🥺🥺🥺
@Sandra Chudziak but Junior didn’t stay dead for long. As the leftover radiation emitted from Godzilla’s meltdown was enough to resurrect Junior as an adult. Turning him into a new Godzilla ready for action. But the series would continually be rebooted dropping him all together.
@@sammontanez6908 until godzilla vs gigan rex
@@tyrannosaurusrex3629 What?
@@sammontanez6908 u know, the new short out from yesterday?
@@tyrannosaurusrex3629 Oh that one. I heard about that short. But I haven’t watched it yet. Also FinalGoji is not Junior. That’s just a fan theory that claims FinalGoji is Junior as an adult. But it was confirmed that FinalGoji is a completely different Godzilla and not the adult Junior we saw at the end of Godzilla Vs Destoroyah. So that theory was debunked. The same thing was brought up with Godzilla 2000. But that incarnation was also confirmed to be a completely new and different Godzilla.
4:28
A new begines...
To new era........
Millenium....................................
A new gojira births
A soul for another soul........
"Most epic gojira roar"
Rest in peace Kenpachiro Satsuma thank you for your hardwork rest easy good sir
If the monsterverse ends with godzilla dying like this I'm gonna cry.
We all will my friend. Legendary Godzilla is a good Godzilla, heck I’m gonna say it, 98 zilla was one of my favorites.
fax broo
I heard that a film maker confirmed that mv godzilla won't die, but if it has too.. mv could most likely continue with a godzilla Jr unlike heisei era.
@@-ThatGuy_ IIRC Toho had it in the rights agreement that legendary can't kill godzilla unless its either the last film of the mv or godzilla Jr is a thing. So they probably could introduce godzilla Jr in the 3rd film. Ahe him up over time and then kill the main godzilla
@@gekozilla7339 i feel like this would also help in introducing destoroyah or spacegodzilla as the final big bads of the monsterverse
The fact that this Godzilla died thinking Jr (his child) was dead is honestly really depressing for me
RIP Satsuma-San. Thank you for making my childhood so memorable and awesome. You will always be MY Godzilla. ❤
R.I.P. Ken Satsuma, who played Godzilla in this film.
After all these years, it still breaks my heart to see this scene.
人類の平和を脅かしたのはゴジラだったが、人類を救ったのも間違いなくゴジラだった…
Rest in Peace to another Godzilla actor Kenpachiro Satsuma May 27 1947-December 16 2023. Thank you for all the times you made me laugh and scream for joy and cry for sadness and all the lessons you taught me about the importance of nature and our duty to keep her safe thank you for being Godzilla
この頃の特撮の雰囲気とてもいいですよね
The fact that this is such an old movie yet it still gave me tears in my eyes shows how good or sad they made Godzillas death and it takes a lot to make myself cry
Well for me at least
Yeah screw the newer movies
@@Godzilla-jr5gidid you see the new Toho movie Godzilla Minus One? It was amazing
@@colewarnerreviews5834 yes I did it was amazing
Anyone here after recently Kenpachiro Satsuma, the actor of Godzilla in the Heisei era unfortunately died yesterday. 😞
三枝さんの「私の役目は終わった」って言葉が印象的だった。
ほんとに終わったんだなあ、って思って子供ながらに泣いた。
R.I.P Kenpachiro Satusma
The Godzilla Legend 💔🌹
This scene was super sad to me, but in a "WOAH" sense. It then put tears in my eyes after I learned the significance of the music. Made by the Legend himself, the creator of the original theme. When he was given the task of making another musical masterpiece he was brought to an emotional point on the inside, because he felt the music he was composing felt like he was composing funeral music for his own son. His baby boy which he helped raise was dying, and ironically enough Godzilla had lost his own son in the very movie the music would be composed for.
Not to mention the final cries out from Godzilla is like he is crying out for his boy, or something more heart wrenching, Godzilla giving up his life by exerting energy to explode his heart to try and save his boy before all the radiation runs out.
This will always send me on an emotional/thought filled trip over those things.
It's even more significant that that. Requiem was the very last musical piece that Ifukube ever composed for Godzilla, and one of the last pieces he ever composed before he passed away.
Can't you stop saying boy? lol

この感動的な最期を飾るゴジラシリーズは、この作品以降生まれてないと俺は思う
Rest in peace a real one.
3:52 this is my most favorite part
世界のみなさん、そして世界の一番偉い人達、ゴジラ対デストロイヤー見てほしいです、核の恐ろしさ、その後の悲劇さを😟核の使い方考えてほしいです😟
When he lets out that roar my face scrunches. That bun dun dun plays and I remember all the times he saved the earth.
@1:31, this scene is almost like an orchestra. The tanks are the instruments and Godzilla is the conductor conducting his final piece... Absolutely breathtaking
Now that would be aesthetically
I almost cried when i watched this scene. We will never forget you big G. Hail to the king!!!!
Yaaaay, junior is back from the dead and he is gonna show us that he is not a little kid anymore. He’s a man!!!
