Film Deaths[]

  • Godzilla (1954) [Godzilla / Power Station Worker]: Dissolves when Akihiko Hirata uses the oxygen destroyer on him, his skeletal remains are shown afterwards. (Note: Although the original Godzilla was killed, a second Godzilla emerged in the sequels. The filmmakers did intend it to be an actual death of the character, but we will be only listing the first 'death' in the franchise.) (Other Note: Godzilla 1985 and all of the Millennium Series movies ignored the events of all the sequels and is a different timeline; in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, the Oxygen Destroyer is never used, while in Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, the Oxygen Destroyer merely killed him but left his body intact, allowing it to be possessed by the vengeful spirits of those who died in the Pacific Theater of World War II to destroy Japan for trying to forget the atrocities it committed).

  • Rodan (1956) [Rodan / Meganulon (Kaiju): Both monsters suffocate when the army causes the volcanoes to erupt and 'destroy' the air in the sky above the monsters.
