This scene is cool and all, but have you ever stopped and wondered.. How exactly did this gojira
get in this situation? Why were they killing each other? How many kongs did it take to bring
this guy down? What happened to the rest of its body? In this video we will take in all the clues
found in the film and novelization to reveal the mystery behind the death of this unlucky gojira.

Number one: Kongs vs Gojiras
You probably guessed it by now, we are going to quickly cover the most intense war
on earth’s history. This fella was really just another casualty that occured in this war.
Meaning that this was not the only titan to fall to the hands of Kongs.
Note that this particular species was also dealing with the skullcrawlers. Meaning that these were
a battle hardened species whose way of life was war. The true origins of this rivalry is unknown,
but based on how powerful the Gojira’s were, the kong’s probably found some sort of value
within the Gojira body parts. Remember, these guys were smart. They were tool makers, and
in this arsenal of tools we find spears, clubs, and this elaborate weapon, axes. Which happen to
be made out of these guys.. There could be other reasons why these two kajus fight each other but
the fact is this. On one end you have a titan species who thinks of the other as a nuisance,
and a threat to their intellectual superiority and physical wellbeing. On the other hand,
you have a species who not only sees the other as a threat, but also as a valuable resource - One
which could potentially put them on top of the food chain. So the stakes are high in this war
and both sides cannot afford to take prisoners. Now lets talk about where this murder took place.
Number two: The setting
Welcome to the Kong species’ lair. Or more commonly known as the “throne” room or temple. But
we’d like to think this place was much more than this. First, we need to know who built this place.
In the novelization of Godzilla vs Kong, we find passages that suggest that this place was built by
a collaboration of the Iwi descendants, and the Kong species themselves. Now we are starting to
see that these guys were smarter than you once thought. This temple’s symmetrical architecture
included an arrangement of perfectly geometric columns which supported the entire cavern,
one central column which was reserved for the Alpha Kong, spectator seating areas, and possibly
more shrines located in these exitways. Given that there are many corpses lying around here,
It's clear that the main center of attraction was this area - an arena. Now why on earth would
a lone gojira come wandering all the way in here? It doesn’t make sense for a Gojira or skullcrawler
to invade this place especially since this is a closed location. The only other way that they
would end up here is if they are either lured to come in, or they were captured and then brought to
the temple to fight for their lives. Remember that there were many of these kongs around.
It’s possible that a few of these would have found a lone mega gojira somewhere in the hollow earth,
subjugated it and then brought it into the temple - Where there were some guys ready to give
this guy a not-so-warm welcome. Now let's talk about the weapons needed to take this guy down.
Number three: the Weapon
This particular battle axe used to kill the mega gojira was made from godzilla body parts. If it
isn't obvious already, this axe blade comes from one of the largest dorsals of an already deceased
Godzilla. The entire height of this weapon was approximately 207.4 ft. That’s almost double the
size of Kong back in 1973. The top swing speed of this weapon in the right hands would have
been at 62 miles per hour. Or 91 feet per second. This is enough force to hack off titan limbs or
in this case, penetrate another titan’s skull. So yes, this thing was quite the killing tool.
It is no wonder that the kongs found great value in the body parts of the Godzilla species.
They allowed the kongs to build these formidable weapons. But this doesn’t end here. It's
possible that these weapons were exclusively purpose-built for fighting the Godzilla species.
Meaning that the Kongs really wouldn't use these to fight other titans.
We will discuss how later. There were a lot of these weapons lying around,
which makes it clear that in order to build this arsenal of powerful weapons,
the kongs would have had to bring down multiple Godzillas. In Gvk We saw that a single kong was
basically no match for a single adult Godzilla specimen, which brings us to the next topic.

Up next! Number 4: The Assassins
In 2014, we saw that a slightly underdeveloped godzilla can take
on more than one opponent simultaneously. In Gvk we saw a Godzilla ragdoll single kong specimen.
So how many kongs does it take to bring down a single godzilla? Furthermore, how many does it
take to take down one of these Mega species? If you’re lost take a quick moment to pause this
video and go watch our Godzilla Genus Explained mini documentary - Where we explain a few theories
on how big these guys could get. A mega-gojira of this size would have required more than one kong,
Its skull alone would be able to clamp down on a single kong and divorce its head from its body.
Something as large as this however, would have provided the kongs with much needed resources
to help them build their arsenal of weaponry. More specifically, they would have provided the kongs
with these extra long axe handles. Because these bones are too big to be sourced from a regular
sized Godzilla. So, based on what we know, it's safe to assume that a group of kongs ganged up
on this gojira to bring it down. But we want to know more, how exactly did this guy get killed?
Number 5 The Execution
This scene shows us exactly where the wound was inflicted, the posterior part of the cranium.
This location is close to where the brain stem would have been. A traumatic intrusion to this
part of the nervous system would immediately shut down all bodily functions in this gojira specimen.
Causing paralysis and death at the same time. In other words, this was a very well placed blow.
No blow in any other location would have killed this gojira this fast. BUT. How did a Kong manage
to reach the head of this extra tall Gojira? Remember that based on the size of this skull,
this guy was probably much - MUCH larger than the Godzilla we know today. Kong specimens
can stand up to 335 ft in height. Godzilla stood up to 391 ft, and this guy was probably
way taller than that. We are going to discuss two ways the Kongs managed to reach up there.
1. As discussed earlier, taking down this Gojira would have taken a group of Kongs.
Based on the angle of how this axe is lodged inside this goji’s skull,
we can guess that there were a couple of kongs distracting the Mega Gojira
while a third kong climbed on the central pillar, and jumped from a higher position,
striking the gojira from the side. Bringing down the colossal titan in an instant.
2. This method might even change the whole reason why this Gojira died. Keep in mind that we are
in a temple. A temple is defined as a place of worship, veneration, respect, and in some cases, a
place where victims are killed in honour of other deities. What does this have to do with anything?.
Given that this gojira was most likely captured by many kongs, these individuals would have
probably held down this gojira. Waiting for the alpha kong to raise its axe, or in this case,
a ceremonial weapon, and execute this Gojira landing a blow on the top of its head. That's
right. If this Gojira was subdued in this manner, this method of execution was not for sport, or
for entertainment. This, ladies and gentlemen .. was a sacrifice. Knowing this, it's possible that
the rest of these creatures that were brought in here, were captured to suffer the same fate.
As outlandish as this may sound, there could be some truth to this concept.
It’s stated in the novelization of GvK that the Kongs and the Iwis were one
tribe. A society that coexisted and communicated with one another. The iwi would have taught the
Kongs many things including abstract concepts such as war and religion.
There is one important last thing left to discuss. Why couldn't this gojira defend itself?
Number 6. The Aftermath
Apart from the fact that this guy was being held by many Kongs, there's a chance that
this particular specimen of Mega-Gojira’s were not capable of expelling an atomic ray like its
cousins. The Godzillas. If it did, then this place would have been completely destroyed, No
godzilla with atomic breath would let themselves be brought inside for execution without a fight.
The fact that there are no signs of destruction left here leads us to believe that this particular
gojira mega species did not possess atomic ray capabilities. This cost it its life. Fast forward
many hundreds of thousands of years, This axe was still lodged on its skull. What happened? Where’s
the rest of its body? Chances are that the kongs took the rest of it and used it either for food,
or tools. But this still doesn’t explain why this axe was just left here after many years. This is
yet another mystery, but what we do know is that this door was left closed - and nobody ever opened
it again until Kong pulled up. Meaning that after these kongs left this temple after killing this
mega gojira, they never returned leaving all these weapons behind. Something had happened to them out
there causing them to never return. Perhaps the kongs were not expecting to face gojira specimens
out there when they went out, which is why they left their weapons in the temple since these were
exclusively forged to fight godzillas. Whatever the case, these guys never opened this door again,
they never came back. What do you think happened to the Kongs that used to dwell here? Let us know
