History Film / ShinGodzilla

* BreathWeapon: Godzilla, of course, has his Atomic Breath, [[spoiler:a purple beam capable of slicing through skyscrapers and setting half of Tokyo ablaze in a few sweeps]].

* ButNotTooForeign: Kayoko Ann Patterson (Satomi Ishihara), the American envoy to Japan, is half-Japanese. She starts off as [[{{Eagleland}} condescending, arrogant, and sexualized]], but as “the blood of her ancestor’s country stirs within her” she becomes more sympathetic to the Japanese.

* ContinuityReboot: This will actually be an actual reboot instead of how previous movies connect with the first film.

* MetamorphosisMonster: [[spoiler: According to leaked spoilers, Godzilla has four forms that he mutates into over the course of the film, starting off an armless lizard-like creature with pronounced gills, with the form seen in the trailers being his third form.]]

* PurpleIsPowerful: A preview clip shown at the Toho Shinjuku Cinema reveals that [[spoiler:Godzilla's Atomic Breath is purple/violet, rather than blue or red]].
* RecycledSoundtrack: The film's composer is Shiro Sagisu, and as such its score incorporates original Akira Ifukube tracks, "Decisive Battle" from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', and "What Can You See In Their Eyes" from ''Franchise/{{Bleach}}''.

** In addition to the recycled music from previous ''Godzilla'' movies, the soundtrack contains references to Shiro Sagisu's work on ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' and ''Bleach''.

* FrickinLaserBeams: [[spoiler: Godzilla's atomic breath can be focused into a purple laser beam that fires from his mouth ''and'' the mouth on the tip of his tail. Not only that, but he can now fire a barrage of beams from his spines.]]

* MetamorphosisMonster: [[spoiler: According to leaked spoilers, Godzilla has four forms that he mutates into over the course of the film, starting off a small tadpole-like lizard, with the form seen in the trailers being his third form.]]

** Godzilla's Atomic Breath is a narrow purple beam [[spoiler:that can cut through skyscrapers and sends torrents of molten metal cascading to the ground]], much the same as the aliens' BreathWeapon in Anno's and Higuchi's short film ''God Warriors''.

* BreathWeapon: Godzilla, of course, has his Atomic Breath. [[spoiler:It starts off as an orange flame, then condenses into a purple beam.]]

* ShoutOut: In addition to the recycled music from previous ''Godzilla'' movies, the soundtrack contains references to Shiro Sagisu's work on ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' and ''Bleach''.

* NightmareFuel: The basic premise of the film.

* {{Toku}}: The film's special effects will be a combination of ''tokusatsu'' puppetry and the best CGI Japan has to offer, similar to the 2015 ''Film/AttackOnTitan'' film.

The film's Japanese title is a multiple entendre that can be read as "New Godzilla", "Pure Godzilla", "True Godzilla", or "God Godzilla". Few details about the film's plot and cast have been revealed, beyond that it stars Hiroki Hasegawa and Yutaka Takenouchi as government officials, and Satomi Ishihara as an American agent. The film's incarnation of Godzilla will be a hybrid of computer graphics and practical special effects, and is slated to be the biggest one yet, standing 118 meters tall, and takes design cues from the original [[Film/{{Gojira}} 1954 film]].

Unlike Toho's other Godzilla films, [[http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2016/06/13/godzilla-resurgence-exclusive-high-res-photos-from-toho/ this one will be ignoring the original 1954 film completely, with it being the first time Godzilla appears in Japan]].

It has been announced that ''Creator/{{Funimation}}'' (yes, you read it right) [[http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2016/07/21/exclusive-funimation-licenses-godzilla-resurgence/ has the license for the film and will be released late 2016]].

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: According to leaked spoilers, Godzilla starts off a small tadpole like lizard in this movie, and over the course of the movie continues to evolve, even after taking the form we see in the trailers.]]

* [[spoiler:FrickinLaserBeams]]: [[spoiler: Godzilla's atomic breath can be focused into a purple laser beam that fires from his mouth ''and'' the mouth on the tip of his tail. Not only that, but he can now fire a barrage of beams from his spines.]]

%%* BeamSpam: Leaked images reveal that Godzilla is capable of not only firing his Atomic Breath from his mouth, but from the tip of his tail... and all over his body.

* RecycledSoundtrack: The film's score incorporates original Akira Ifukube tracks and "Decisive Battle" from Evangelion.

* ThemeTuneCameo: The film's composer is Shiro Sagisu, who also worked on ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' and ''Bleach''. As such, some of ''Shin Godzilla''[='=]s songs are remixes of particularly iconic tracks from those shows.

* RecycledSoundtrack: The film's score incorporates original Akira Ifukube tracks and even some of Shiro Sagisu's work on Evangelion.

* {{Toku}}: The film's special effects will be a combination of ''tokusatsu'' suitmation and the best CGI Japan has to offer, similar to the 2015 ''Film/AttackOnTitan'' film.
