I adore the original Rodan and have wanted to see the character get Justice ever since. And I love your take on how he could thematically tie in to a minus one sequel!

I'd be shocked if he actually did fight another monster. Outside of anime and shorts, Toho seem weirdly reluctant to do that again.

Godzilla Minus One vs. Hedorah Think about it. Hedorah's whole thing is that it was a sludge-pollution monster. It could be a niche and refreshing critique on either A) the environmental impact of nuclear testing B) it could be put in present day with a large/more powerful godzilla that fights a newly born Hedorah. that would certainly be exciting. Or if -1.0 migrated and fough Ebirah! Or if that brought back Destroyah and he wasn't outshined by the death of Godzilla. You could really flesh his character out, as well as his death. I'd be SO excited to have Destoroyah

I like the rodan idea, but I have an idea of my own. Anguirus. He would be perfect fitting in to the post kaiju, dinosaur thing. He just makes since in that matter. I heard a theory that Godzilla got mixed up in operation crossroads and was there because the sensed another monster (like how that how they lured Godzilla in operation Wada Tsumi) if that would be the case, pre kaiju Anguirus might have also got effected. He would also be a good metaphor for Japan being caught in the middle of the Cold War and struggling because of that. Godzilla minus one felt like a reboot of 1954, it would make sense for the sequel to be a rehash of raids again this featuring Anguirus There is also a really popular theory that Biollante because of the mark on the back of girls neck shaped like one of Godzillas dorsals. Biollante was made by mixed human and Godzillas cells together and that could mean Biollante could get created. Although if any kaiju were to fight Godzilla, it would realistically be another Godzilla. Maybe a peice of Godzilla grows independent after the final battle and regenerates on its own not with the main body. That would also mirror the Cold War metaphor with Godzilla vs Anguirus. Besides that,I don’t know what other kaiju would fight (if any)

If they don't call the sequel Godzilla minus 2 that's just a missed opportunity

Honestly, I like all the ideas this video placed on the table. I feel like trying to make a kaiju vs kaiju movie with the same depth, complexity and thematic elements as Godzilla Minus One is an incredibly hard task to pull off. Personally, I don’t mind which route the sequel will take, whether there will be another monster or not. As long as it’s done well and still feels like it’s set in the same universe as Godzilla Minus One. (Ghidorah or Mechagodzilla is obviously not the way to go). But Rodan has huge potential!

(Huge spoilers) I'm HEAVILY surprised you didn't say Biolante. I think Biolante could be GREAT for Minus two for these reasons : - Biolante was a creature born from grief. Godzilla meant to be a giant of humanity's grief, Biolante is a giant monster of grief made from a scientist who tried to reassurect his daughter or wife(i forgot) so it touches on the human aspect well 2. Maybe the human who makes Biolante could be a great antagonist that somewhat mirrors Minus One's main character darkest side when going through grief. Or in other words, remember how Minus One was in a way about trying to rebuild a life after tragedy and the main character changed his mind from self unaliving in the end because he learned to try handle his grief over his kind of wife who he thought was dead to stay alive for his child? Well maybe the man who makes Biolante is a dark reflection alternate. Like he also loses someone because of the war but unlike the main character of minus one, doesn't try to rebuild his life from that grief and makes Biolante unintentionally as a result of him not learning to let go. And maybe he has some conflict with the minus one character or not. But maybe in the end learns to let her go and like the original it's implied her spirit is inside Biolante and he redeems himself through helping learning to destroy the monster (which represents his grief) instead of trying to hold onto it. Or maybe even an entirely different story. In short I just think Biolante is great because its made of a human issue.

RODAN. Considering that Minus One gave us SUCH. A faithful take on the original Godzilla, I would LOVE to see a similarly traditional-yet-frightening take on my favorite monster, Rodan

I would definitely love to see Bagan as the villain in the sequel. He needs to be in at least one Godzilla movie in my lifetime. Plus, Bagan seems like he would be the perfect counter to this version of Godzilla. Think about it, to combat Godzilla’s constant regeneration and destructive atomic breath, Bagan would have to constantly evolve and adapt throughout the film in order to combat Godzilla leading to a final epic clash between the two. Plus, there would be a lot of symbolism in there as if Godzilla represents a Government’s need to constantly use destructive force even though it causes pain, Bagan would represent a Government’s need to constantly adapt and innovate on new destructive forces to combat an enemy.

Noriko's gonna mutate into a giant human and fight him herself.

Godzilla Plus Two.. Chromosomes.

Another recommendation for a continuation on G-Cell Mutation; Biollante

Personally. I would like a new kaiju for godzilla to fight. Or team up with. Like godzilla is leading an army or something.

British fan here. I wish it was extended in cinemas here. It's not 😔

Since the kady had that godzilla peice, what about something similar to ehst shin was evolving to, hunan godzilla monsters, to potray the distrust the world had, niw they cant trust their own neighbours

I'm not so sure Godzilla Minus One is set up well for a kaiju v kaiju fight. Just thinking of another monster tanking a single shot of his Atomic Breath is... a little hard to do. I think a whole new monster would be the best choice. Something equally as broken and devistating.

I think destroyah could work

I would like mechagodzilla to come to mi nus one like the people have it as a final precaution

Godzilla cannot become some good guy by the end of the film he has to be destroyed or at-least seem to be he cannot become some antihero lesser of two evils because that shits all over the first film. We obviously also can’t have the other monster that isn’t Godzilla be a good guy or the lesser of two evils antihero since that also shits in the theme. So what do end up with ? Two villains in the same movie that do the exact same thing just eating each-others screen time. God forbid they do a “let them fight” as having the humans just surrender their fate to two monsters during it out also shits on the theme. The only way in hell this works in some way is the monsters are Pulled towards each other via human intervention then once in the same location both killed via some human effort. But even then it’s messy just how much time can be dedicated to two monsters doing the exact same thing and also have a fight that has to end in a draw or the winner getting linked by humans will be unsatisfying. I can already hear the complaints “they didn’t even get to fight for very long” “the fight was unsatisfying they didn’t even show who won”
