Terror Of Mechagodzilla Proved Just How Powerful Godzilla Really Is
Godzilla had to fight Titanosaurus and Mechagodzilla together
One year after teaming up with King Caesar against Mechagodzilla in 1974’sGodzilla vs. Mechagodzilla , the King of the Monsters was forced into a rematch with his automatic counterpart . But what made their fight inTerror of Mechagodzilladifferent from their last encounter is that their position were flip . Rather than pair Godzilla with another kaiju , the 1975 subsequence , and the last film in the Showa epoch , see Mechagodzilla get an ally of his own - Titanosaurus . Godzilla unfairly had to fight both villains at the same time and without any avail from another lusus naturae , which made it different from most of his other battles .
The previous movie was indicative of how difficult the betting odds were for Godzilla . After all , it had already been made clear that Mechagodzilla was solid enough to flap King Caesar , nigh kill Anguirus , and wreak havoc on Godzilla with his projectile arsenal . For these reasons , a casing could have been made thatMechagodzilla had already become Godzilla ’s strongest villain . arrive at thing bad was the inclusion of Titanosaurus ; It was evident during the engagement that Titanosaurus , a mind - controlled , aquatic kaiju , was a powerhouse in his own right with a power level belike close to Mechagodzilla ’s .
Godzilla ’s ability to hold out fighting both of them for several minutes at the same time is a testament to his resilience . Admittedly , though , he could n’t beat both of them together , and had to rely on the humans to temporarily distract Titanosaurus . Despite being severely wounded , Godzilla managed to destroy Mechagodzilla and get the better of Titanosaurus in quick succession , making the finale ofTerror of Mechagodzillaa fitting swan song for the Showa era ’s Godzilla that showcased his full electric potential better than all old movies ( and arguably all that follow . )
Godzilla Has Won Very Few Fights Against Multiple Opponents

Ghidorah , for case , was outnumbered in three of his four fight with Godzilla during the Showa epoch . Plus , Godzilla has received allies in many of the battles that did involve multiple resister , such as the fights that took place inGodzilla vs. GiganandGodzilla vs. Megalon .
Among the few movies that wedge Godzilla to crusade two or more kaiju without help were 2014’sGodzilla , Godzilla : Final Wars , Mothra vs. Godzilla , andGodzilla vs. Mothra . In regard to the latter two films , Godzilla was beaten at the oddment of both . In a much better display of his prowess , Godzilla imposingly plowed through a number of his old friends and foe , including Anguirus , King Caesar , and Rodan , inFinal Wars . But , none of those monsters are look at heavyweight in the franchise in the same vein as Mechagodzilla . The same can likely be said of the MUTOs , who miss the robot ’s raw power .
