While Zilla is n’t referred to as such in the pic itself the kaiju was subsequently rebranded as such for distinguish it from the true King of the Monsters . Zilla is different to Godzilla in more ways that one , such as its appearance being much slim and walk with more of a suspicion than the upright Godzilla . However , Zilla is also far , far less powerful than Godzilla and many of the other kaijus .
Outside 1998’sGodzilla , Zilla also come along in the 2004 collaboration between Toho Pictures , CP international , Zazou Productions , and Napalm Films titledGodzilla : Final Wars . The movie was something of a kaiju battle royale , with several monsters , including Godzilla , Gigan , and Rodan , appear alongside Zilla . Godzilla managed to take out his 1990 ’s Westernized reimagining easily , and Zilla ’s lack of strong point compare to many other kaiju is plain from the military being able to dispatch it on their own in Roland Emmerich’sGodzilla .
9Mothra
First Appearance:Mothra(1961)
While Mothra is comparatively peaceful as far as kaiju ’s go , and over the decades has even been portrayed as an ally to both Godzilla and manhood when either is under scourge from other titantic monstrosities , her baron should n’t be underestimated .

However , while late movies likeGodzilla x Kong : The New Empirehave portray him as powerful enough to go toe - to - toe with Godzilla and many other kaiju . this has n’t always been the case . The earliest looping of King Kong were far smaller than his modern opposite number , and the grapheme ’s chronicle taken as a whole mean value he outrank among the rickety kaiju .
While this may be something of a triviality , it ’s also worth note that King Kong has no access to optical maser radio beam , atomic breath , or any other kind of limited attacks . While he is undoubtedly potent and has access to a diverseness of tool and weapons to power him up , the want of ranged power would still unquestionably number against him in a straight fight with most other kaiju . That being allege ( partially due to the plot - armour give way gratis of his huge popularity with audiences ) , King Kong has held his own against Godzilla a significant turn of times , and more often than almost any other kaiju .
