Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira) is a giant monster which first appeared in the 2025 IDW comic one-shot Godzilla: The New Heroes and will return in the ongoing series Godzilla releasing the same year.
Name
- Main article: Godzilla#Name.
Godzilla's Japanese name, Gojira (ゴジラ), comes from a combination of the Japanese approximation of "gorilla" (ゴリラ gorira), and kujira (クジラ), the Japanese word for "whale".
Development
As the first issue of Godzilla was in development, IDW Publishing received permission to redesign Godzilla for the new Kai-Sei Era series. The team worked with Toho to refine the design and ensure it remained true to the character. Godzilla artist Nikola Čižmešija served as the primary designer while Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone artist Pablo Tunica helped with the head shape, introducing the distinctive jawline befitting of the series' more villainous take on Godzilla.[1] While discussing the design process, Čižmešija additionally credited series editor Jake Williams with suggesting the change from Godzilla's traditional blue atomic breath and dorsal fins to green.[2]
Design
Godzilla possesses a uniform charcoal coloration interrupted by glowing green veins that haphazardly wind their way across his body. His dorsal plate arrangement and shape are similar to that of the Monsterverse's Evolved Godzilla, though they are instead a solid green as opposed to pink in color. His head is blocky, featuring prominent brown fangs, jagged scales on the top of his head, and orange, pupilless eyes.
Personality
TBA
Origins
Godzilla was first awakened when a United States military experiment with an unknown form of energy known as Kai-Sei empowered the kaiju. Godzilla would then make landfall on the coast of Japan shortly afterward and destroyed Tokyo, igniting the ongoing conflict between humanity and kaiju for decades to come.

Godzilla #1
Godzilla makes landfall on the shores of New York City, laying waste to the metropolis and its defenses. Upon rampaging through Gravesend Charter Academy, the kaiju would briefly battle the G-Mutant Jacen Braid, who survived a direct blast from Godzilla's atomic breath and landed an energized punch to the monster king's foot. Godzilla was startled by this display of power, though quickly ended the skirmish with a tail swipe that sent Jacen through a building.
Abilities
Atomic breath
Godzilla's atomic breath, green in color and supercharged with Kai-Sei energy, is capable of cutting through walls and buildings with ease.
