Top Ten Most Tragic Toho Kaiju

"Monsters are tragic beings, They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, they're not evil by choice, that's their tragedy".- Ishiro Honda, Director of 8 of the original godzilla movies as well as many other kaiju and scifi films, 24 in total.
The Top Ten
1 Godzilla (Heisei Era) - Godzilla 84 Godzilla is a giant monster originating from a series of tokusatsu films of the same name from Japan.

Godzilla was shot and nearly killed back in the 40s when he was just a Godzillasaurus, constantly get serious injurys in fights, is killed by Mechagodzilla (but get revived), witnesses his son get tortured by Spacegodzilla, and later killed by Destoroyah. He then has a meltdown and dies. What a sad life.

2 Godzilla Junior - Godzilla vs Destroyah

Junior grows attached to a human and is forced to leave her, witnesses his brother Rodan die, is tortured by Spacegodzilla, is killed by Desteroyah, get revived by Godzilla but no longer has his father. I feel bad for him.

3 Mothra - Rebirth of Mothra

She dies so many times and gets the crap kicked out of her very easily. I honestly think she has died more than any other kaiju in the toho films. Look at the "Rebirth of Mothra trilogy", She constantly gets her ass kicked and dies in more emotional ways and scenes than most modern movies do, and it's a damn puppet. Pluss the larva form Mothra always is in a life or death situation immediately after birth, and sometimes witnesses their mother get killed.

4 Titanosaurus - Terror of Mechagodzilla

A bit of an odd choice, but in his only film "Terror of Mechagodzilla", he was once a peaceful dinosaur that lived at he ocean floor before Dr. Mafune found him. The Dr. took control of him and turned him bad. He also gets hurt in vicouis ways and of course dies.

A monster that was forced to fight against its will, only to be beaten and blasted by Godzilla, and possibly even killed.

5 Mechagodzilla 3 (Kiryu) - Godzilla X Mechagodzilla

The skeleton and soul of the original Godzilla is trapped in Kiryu, in which makes it a living being that doesn't want to fight. Its simply trapped in the machine. The spirit does become unleashed a few times though. I guess we actually did get "Godzilla vs Ghost Godzilla" after all.

6 Biollante - Godzilla vs Biollante

An abomination against nature of a hybrid of Godzilla, a rose plant, and a dead daughter of the scientist who created this creature. I mean just let your daughter rest in peace, now she is in pain. Godzilla burns her alive, and plenty of monster gore happens here.

A monster that shouldn't exist. A hybrid of a plant, Godzilla, and a scientist's dead daughter.

7 Anguirus - Godzilla vs Gigan

You don't even need to say a specific movie, Toho OBVIOUSLY hates this guy. windpipe crushed, smacked into a mountain like a basketball, the guy had Godzilla, his so called "friend" literally sat on him and ripped his jaw open! He deserves to get his own SEPERATE movie with Jet jaguar. WITHOUT GODZILLA

He is basically cannon folder, He never wins and he is beaten to a bloody pulp half the time. I mean he gets his jaw ripped open in one film for god(zillas) sake. He also tends to always need help and plays sidekick to Godzilla.

8 Rodan (Heisei Era) - Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2

In his only appearnce in the Heisei era, he is just cannon folder, Godzilla damn near murders him in the first 15 minutes of the movie. Even once he gets a new power and becomes 'Fire Rodan', that doesn't do anything and Mechagodzilla simply destroys him. He starts internally bleeding and bleeding from his mouth. He then uses his life energy to save the resently dead godzilla, in which he just dissapears.

He was nearly killed by Godzilla in the first battle and beaten by Mechagodzilla, only to transfer his energy to Godzilla and die.

9 Orga - Godzilla 2000

I mean in his only move appearance (other than that cameo in Planet of monsters) the Alien ship wakes up after eions and gets killed by godzilla a day later. he's only in his monster form for like 5 minutes before godzilla blows him up.

10 Guiron - Gamera vs. Guiron

Who's the dumbass that put him here? He's not even that tragic, and not a Toho kaiju

The Contenders
11 Jet Jaguar - Godzilla vs Megalon

What? This robot was absolutely destroying Megalon until Gigan showed up. And when Godzilla finally came, they absolutely wrecked Megalon and Gigan. He's not tragic at all.

The robot may be the vocal point of Godzilla vs Megalon, but he constantly needs godzilla's help, gets double teamed and almost decapated.

12 Zigra - Gamera vs. Zigra
13 Jamila - Ultraman
