— Giant Shark (Godziban, multiple episodes) |
The Giant Shark is a shark kaiju who first appeared in the 67th episode of the web series Godziban, "I'm Home, Mama", uploaded in 2023. The Giant Shark lives in the waters off Godzi Godzi Island, where it occasionally comes into conflict with the island's residents, such as Minilla, Radon, and Ebirah.
Design
The Giant Shark strongly resembles a real great white shark. However, the inside of its mouth is pink instead of a reddish-pink, it has a larger and differently-shaped dorsal fin and larger second dorsal and pelvic fins, and it lacks an anal fin.
Personality
The Giant Shark is highly territorial, attacking Minilla, Radon, and Ebirah without provocation. It proved to be a sore loser, chasing Ebirah and the Three Godzilla Brothers after losing its duel with the former.
History
- Godziban (2019-2025) [episodes 67 and 70]
Godziban
"I'm Home, Mama"
Minilla spotted the Giant Shark swimming through the ocean towards the unconscious Radon and was able to draw its attention. The Giant Shark chased Minilla and trailed him as he swam with a flotation device. Minilla threw the device at the Giant Shark, which became lodged in its mouth, but fainted afterwards and began to rink. Radon, having regained consciousness, came to Minilla's rescue and carried him away. The Giant Shark summoned a tornado, which ripped the flotation device out of its mouth, then allowed it to ascend into the air and lunge at the two kaiju. After Radon outflew it, the Giant Shark fell back into the water.
"Ebirah vs. Giant Shark: Great Duel in the South Seas (Gezora is Also There!)"
After conversing with Gezora, the Giant Shark suddenly appeared again to engage Ebirah in a volleyball duel using a rock. Ebirah and the Giant Shark batted the rock back and forth several times until the shrimp leapt out of the water and smashed the rock past the shark. The Giant Shark quickly ascended into the air via tornado during the second round, prevailing after an intense volley by hitting the rock at such an angle that it spiraled through the air. When it tried the same technique in the third round, however, Ebirah successfully countered by leaping out of the water and launching his claw at the rock, which flew back to hit the giant shark in the head. The Giant Shark was angered by this, chasing Ebirah and eventually the Three Godzilla Brothers through the ocean as they tried to escape.
Abilities
Physical abilities
The Giant Shark has a mouth full of sharp teeth, though it has not been seen using them against any prey. It used its head, tail, and body to hit a rock in its volleyball match against Ebirah.
Agility
The Giant Shark can leap out of water with ease, especially when assisted by tornadoes.
Tornado
The Giant Shark can manifest tornadoes out of thin air and travel up them to lunge at flying prey. It can also change its elevation in the tornado with ease, allowing it to return most of Ebirah's rock volleys.
Weaknesses
The Giant Shark temporarily halted its pursuit of Minilla after he threw a floatation device into its mouth, which it could not remove until it summoned a tornado.

Trivia
- The Giant Shark's ability to create tornadoes is likely a nod to the Sharknado franchise. Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017) previously referenced Godzilla via a radioactive mass of sharks dubbed "Sharkzilla" which attacked Tokyo.
