![]() ![]() Some designs looking much akin to the final film's featured eyes, a sharp row of teeth akin to Godzilla's fourth form and exaggerated skull-like features around the cheeks. Another variant of the monster possessed a longer head, seemingly one eye, and a larger nose and mouth. A female design featured a very blank expression, with no nose, and small eyes. Multiple facial concepts for the creatures were created, as well. Some other dorsal plate designs took more wing-like liberty, stretching the established designs to look like wings. The dorsal plates also differed in design, being more crystal-like in appearance, looking akin to SpaceGodzilla's. While the designs for the fifth form remained relatively similar to the final product, different aesthetics were played with, including different types of eyes for the creatures. This concept was ultimately rejected by Toho.Ĭoncept art for the monster's original fifth form was also detailed greatly. Certain concept art pieces showed Godzilla possessing a conjoined twin dynamic, with Godzilla having two upper bodies, split around the waist, while others had a second Godzilla growing off the back of the original. Self-replication was depicted as Godzilla growing additional heads and body parts. ![]() The fourth form originally possessed different abilities, including self-replication, a concept cut from the film, although the remnants of the plot point made its way into deleted scenes. These traits included similarly designed dorsal plates, the traditional tail-dragging posture, and larger arms. Changed aesthetics for the monster's fourth form included Godzilla originally possessing a body much more akin to the Heisei era's Godzilla. The first-ever created concepts for the 2016 Godzilla's fourth form, created by Mahiro Maeda, had the monster bearing a closer resemblance to the 1954 monster, right down to including small "ears". Webbed toes for the creature was a design aspect that was also played with but ultimately dropped in favor of a more traditional foot design.Īlso, the arm size of early forms, alongside the creature's posture was different early on, with Godzilla originally crawling on all fours, rather than dragging itself along the ground. ![]() Additionally, Godzilla's earlier forms were illustrated in a more whale-like fashion, looking very much akin to a Basking shark, featuring a wide-open mouth, and a ribbed neck and throat. Head designs for the beast's early forms went through a myriad of incarnations, ranging from more traditional head sculpt designs, to designs that look identical to a Tyrannosaurus rex. Said changes range from basic design elements to abilities being altered over time, and were detailed in The Art of Shin Godzilla. The 2016 Godzilla underwent large developmental changes during the film's production. However, there are no names for his first and fifth forms. However there are some names (the names are never revealed in the film) like Godzilla's second form is named 'Kamata-kun', his third form named 'Shinagawa-kun' and his fourth form named 'Kamakura-san'. Throughout the film's running time, Godzilla's multiple forms are never given specific names, and are just referred to by numbered titles, such as the 'fourth form'. This English translation was adopted by the Department of Energy, and was referred to as the "DOE's codename". Unlike previous incarnations of Godzilla, the name Goro Maki gave it is spelled in ateji (呉爾羅, Gojira ?) as opposed to katakana. On top of the Japanese native name given to the newly discovered creature, Maki also gave him the English name of "Godzilla". At his home of Odo Island, this term means "Incarnation of God". Evangelion: The Real 4-Dĭuring the events of the movie, the name Gojira comes from Goro Maki's referral to him as such. ![]()
