* YouShallNotPass: Villainous example. While Godzilla is being shot down by the Godzilla tower's lasers, Gigan stands between him and Anguiras and spins his stomach buzzsaw to prevent the latter from coming to his aid. It's enough to make Anguiras hesitate for a while, but when he finally does, his efforts are thwarted with a painful gash to the face.

** Arguably, this applies to the other monsters also, as they seem to have found a way to share living on Earth without attacking humanity. This is demonstrated in film by Anguirus being fired upon by the [=JDSF=] due to a case of HelpMistakenForAttack and instead of retaliating in kind, simply turning around and swimming back to Monster Island.

* HelpMistakenForAttack: Inverted. After hearing the action signal tape that Gengo is playing (before he's aware of it's purpose), Godzilla orders Anguirus to go check on Japan to investigate. When Anguirus arrives at Sagami bay, there is no destruction happening (yet) and the JSDF fears that Anguirus came to cause trouble, scaring him away with artillery and maser beams.

* BadassNormal: Aside from his sheer size and strength (and maybe the spines on his back), Anguirus has generally always been depicted as otherwise powerless. Yet he is chronologically the first Kaiju to deal a strong enough attack upon King Ghidorah to draw ''blood'', something Godzilla himself wouldn't manage until the Heisei era. Worth noting is that this scene was stock footage from ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters,'' meaning Anguirus is the first to harm King Ghidorah in such a way in borth release order ''and'' the chronologucal timeline.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: The invading Nebulans are a race of cockroach-like aliens who used to be subordinate to another more advanced race that completely trashed their planet, which killed themselves off. However, as hardy as the Nebulans are, things are from continuing to get worse on their home planet, which is why they've singled out Earth as a desolate, polluted new planet and may be one of the few survivors of that world's wildlife or they might have been the dominant species there. They're man-sized roaches. to take over for themselves.



* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Gigan is notably the first villain to make Godzilla ''bleed''. Anguirus, due to stock footage, is the first and second to do so to Ghidorah as footage from ''Destroy All Monsters'' is reused in this film, and once again shows Anguirus drawing blood from the King of Terror. This film takes place chronologically before ''Destroy All Monsters'' (which was set in the then-future year of 1999, while Godzilla vs. Gigan was set in the 1970s) meaning this is technically the ''first'' time Anguirus does so. Score two for the BadassNormal!

Meanwhile, Anguirus, due to stock footage, is the first and second to do so to Ghidorah as footage from ''Destroy All Monsters'' is reused in this film, and once again shows Anguirus drawing blood from the King of Terror.

* MilitariesAreUseless: Subverted. After successfully driving away Anguirus, the JSDF send in tanks, army troops, Air Force and maser cannons to stop Ghidorah and Gigan. Ghidorah burns down all the ground units while Gigan literally swats away all the fighter jets. Even the highest ranking general admits to the human protagonists there's nothing he can do against them.

However, the JSDF proves to be a great help in taking down the Nebulans, as they load TNT into the Godzilla Tower's elevator as part of Gengo's plan to stop the aliens.

* DeadGuyPuppet: Zigzagged. in the dubbed version, the Space M Nebula aliens dig up human corpses from burial grounds and don them as disguises. The original version says that the disguises are photonic after-images.

* DentedIron: It can be a bit difficult to make out with the exception of a few close-up shots, but Godzilla is still in the process of recovering from [[Film/GodzillaVsHedorah his fight against Hedorah from the previous year]] by the time the Nebulans begin their plan, as his hand that had its flesh burnt off by Hedorah is still skeletal, with the soft tissue in the process of regrowing over it.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: While he's definitely OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank, Godzilla gets progressively more fatigued the more blood he loses, as if he were going through the early stages of shock. After he gets shot in the face by the Godzilla Tower's laser beam, Godzilla seemingly loses consciousness, allowing Gigan to viciously attack him while he's lying on the ground.

** Following Godzilla's [[Film/GodzillaVsHedorah bout with Hedorah the previous year]], in which the King of the Monsters nearly lost his life, Godzilla's back in fighting form, save for the fact that [[RedRightHand his hand is still in the process of regenerating its flesh from the bones up]], since it got dissolved down to the bone by Hedorah's acid when Godzilla punched into his body a year earlier.
