History Awesome / GodzillaFinalWars

** This requires a bit more explanation to underscore the awesome even more. Ebirah successfully destroys multiple vehicles, including at least two tanks. What does Kumasaka decide to do? Send five mutant soldiers against it ''on foot'', only two of whom are armed with masers. And they '''win'''.
--> '''Kumasaka''': [[PreAssKickingOneLiner We're gonna fry that lobster!]]
* Kumasaka's superior fighting skills against all the brainwashed mutants in a YouShallNotPass moment to let Ozaki and the few to escape. He actually holds his own for several minutes before the mutants have to physically all jump on top of him to force him down. [[{{Determinator}} And he's still trying to resist even as they kill him...]] and he manages to dig out of the rubble and SURVIVES!

* Gigan's revamp for this movie. He got a ''[[TookALevelInBadass seriously]]'' [[TookALevelInBadass badass upgrade]] from his Showa version; gone are yellow/gold and green, in are silver, black, and dark blue! Not to mention his hooks are now long scythe-like blades, his wings wouldn't be out of place on Destoroyah, the first thing he does upon waking up and completely demolish the building he's in! As if he couldn't get more badass, one of his upgrades replaces the scythes with motherfreaking ''[[ChainsawGood Chainsaw hands]]''!!! His chainsaw hands make [[Franchise/TheEvilDead Ash's chainsaw]] look like a plastic toy fork. His sheer badass look, weapons, and personality are almost enough for you to want to cheer for evil, if you aren't already doing that!

** For fans of Zilla, seeing him in a proper Japanese Godzilla movie at all is pretty awesome, despite the CurbStompBattle he gets from the real King of the Monsters.

* Kumasaka's superior fighting against all the brainwashed mutants in a YouShallNotPass moment. He actually holds his own for several minutes, and the mutants have to physically all jump on top of him to force him down. [[{{Determinator}} And he's still trying to resist even as they kill him...]]
** Better still, HE SURVIVED barely!

* Minya (yes, ''[[TheScrappy Minya]]'') gets one of these, despite still being highly disliked. He gets between Godzilla and some humans to stop him from outright obliterating them. And Godzilla actually backs down and leaves. Yes, a baby monster was able to convince his own father (who had been ''[[CurbStompBattle utterly demolishing his opponents until now]]'') to leave just by standing his ground. That's badass.

* Gigan's revamp for this movie. He got a [[TookALevelInBadass SERIOUSLY badass upgrade]] from his Showa version; gone are yellow/gold and green, in are silver, black, and dark blue! Not to mention his hooks are now long scythe-like blades, his wings wouldn't be out of place on Destoroyah, the first thing he does upon waking up and completely demolish the building he's in! As if he couldn't get more badass, one of his upgrades replaces the scythes with [[ChainsawGood motherfreaking CHAINSAW HANDS]]!!! His chainsaw hands make [[Franchise/TheEvilDead Ash's chainsaw]] look like a plastic toy fork. His sheer badass look, weapons, and personality are almost enough for you to want to cheer for evil, if you aren't already doing that!

** For fans of Zilla, seeing him in a Japanese Godzilla movie at all is pretty awesome.

* Godzilla blasts the meteor carrying Monster X while it's still in space.

** Might damper the Awesome a bit but could cross into heartwarming as there might be a REASON why they held out longer. Godzilla didn't want to truly kill his friends.
* Godzilla killing Gigan even though not in continuity with Showa it was satisfying seeing something of an end to a monster that fled away in two films with no conclusion (unless you count his appearance in ''Zone Fighter'', where the titular hero actually kills him). Fulfilled again by Mothra later in the film.

* Minya (yes, ''[[TheScrappy Minya]]'') gets one of these. He gets between Godzilla and some humans to stop him from obliterating them. And Godzilla actually backs down and leaves. Yes, a baby monster was able to convince his own father (who had been ''[[CurbStompBattle utterly demolishing his opponents until now]]'') to leave just by standing his ground. That's badass.

* Godzilla killing Gigan even though not in continuity with Showa it was satisfying seeing something of an end to a monster that fled away in two films with no conclusion. Fulfilled again by Mothra later in the film.

* Ozaki single handedly kicking the ass of the new controller while making him suffer and pay for all of his cruelty, sadism, and arrogance against Earth.

* Kumasaka's superior fighting against all the mutants in a YouShallNotPass moment. He actually holds his own for several minutes, and the mutants have to physically all jump on top of him to force him down. [[{{Determinator}} And he's still trying to resist even as they kill him...]]
** Better still, HE SURVIVED!

* Ozaki single handedly kicking the ass of the new controller.

* Monster X changing into Keizer Ghidorah, pitting Godzilla against his most classic adversary, is positively chilling.

* Godzilla killing the American Zilla in less then twenty seconds is flat AWESOME. Adding "We're All To Blame" in the background is icing on the cake.

** Better still, [[spoiler: HE SURVIVED!]]

* [[spoiler:Monster X changing into Keizer Ghidorah, pitting Godzilla against his most classic adversary, is positively chilling.]]

* Godzilla [[spoiler:killing Keizer Ghidorah by ''pushing him into outer space with his Hyper Spiral Ray and exploding him into a million pieces'']]. Definitely the most appropriate climax for this type of movie.
* The last shot of the series, ending with Godzilla's signature roar.

* Godzilla [[spoiler: killing Gigan]] even though not in continuity with Showa it was satisfying seeing something of an end to a monster that fled away in two films with no conclusion. [[spoiler:Fulfilled again by Mothra later in the film.]]

* Godzilla and Mothra, the King and Queen of the Monster World joined forces in stopping the Xilian Invasion. Most notable was when Godzilla was captured by Monster X who had Gigan to cut the Kaiju to pieces. Godzilla turned this around and pushed Monster X to received that exact treatment. With both of aliens distracted, Mothra flew in and smacked them right to the floor.

* Mothra [[spoiler: killing Gigan by using his own buzz saws against him and then ramming into him at full speed while ''on fucking fire'', blowing him to utter pieces. The kicker? The end credits heavily imply '''MOTHRA SURVIVED'''.]]

* Mothra [[spoiler: killing Gigan by using his own buzz saws against him and then ramming into him at full speed while ''on fucking fire'', blowing him to utter pieces.]]

** The Xillians are running amok, the Gotengo is Earth's last ship, so what do they do? They [[GodzillaThreshold free Godzilla]]. And when they see he thinks the battle from the last time is still going on, they ''have him chase where the other monsters are rampaging to have him fight them]]''.

** For fans of Zilla, seeing him in a japanese Godzilla movie at all is pretty awesome.

* The sequence of the Gotengo crew fighting Manda. It's such an action packed introduction to the kind of batshit-crazy bullshit Gordon can get away with.

* Minilla stopping Godzilla from killing what's left of the EDF by putting himself in front of them.

* Godzilla and Mothra, the King and Queen of the Monster World joined forces in stopping the Xilian Invasion. Most notable was when Godzilla was captured by Monster X who had Gigan to cut the Kaiju to pieces. Godzilla turned this around and pushed Monster X to received that exact treatment. With both of aliens distracted, Mothra flew in and smacked them right to the floor.

* Godzilla and Mother, the King and Queen of the Monster World joined forces in stopping the Xilian Invasion. Most notable was when Godzilla was captured by Monster X who had Gigan to cut the Kaiju to pieces. Godzilla turned this around and pushed Monster X to received that exact treatment. With both of aliens distracted, Mothra flew in and smacked them right to the floor.

* Godzilla's reawakening is one of the most epic moments in the whole franchise, especially with the flames burning in his eyes.

* [[{{Badass}} ANYTHING]] Captain Gordon does.

-->'''Gordon:''' Listen, kid. There's two things you don't know about the Earth. One is [[{{Badass}} me]] and the other is... [[{{TheDreaded}} Godzilla.]]
