* EvilInc: The Toho Company. Toho is painted in a more villainous light in this story, as they're willing to keep The Man in The Suit alive and imprisoned to make more Godzilla movies, as well as the other suit-hybrid actors, even though they should be getting them help for their conditions. What's worse is that they treat them more as animals than people, as they've been trying to use tasers to get The Man in The Anguirus suit to act for them even though he clearly doesn't want to be there and wants to see his family again.

* CentralTheme: Grief and vengeance. Goji's desire to kill all Americans is from his grief, which turned to revenge for the death of his family after Japan got nuked. Said vengeance became blind, as most of the people Goji killed or transformed into "kaiju" were fellow Japanese people who went through the same grief he was going through. Take The Man in The Anguiris Suit, for example. It's implied the actor also lost his family to the nukes, but unlike Goji, he tried to move on from the pain. Goji's shock at how Japan is not preparing for revenge parallels how the real world handled the horrors of after the war, not in world-ending vengeance or genocide, but in peace and learning, while also not forgetting humanity's mistake.

* AmbiguousSituation: Are we in an AlternateHistory? It's not clear if the big names involved with the ''Godzilla'' franchise are involved with the events of the story, as nobody except King Kong actor Hirose Shoichi is directly namedropped, and even then Shoichi is claimed to have been killed by The Man in the Suit despite having lived at least until TheNineties in real life. So we have no idea if it's supposed to be implied that this is an alternate timeline or if this is a "true story" that Toho covered up. It's thus also not clear if Creator/HaruoNakajima is The Man in the Suit.

It's thus also not clear unknown if Creator/HaruoNakajima is The Man in the Suit.Suit or if it's another actor who played Gojira in this version of events. Nakajima also played other Kaiju in later ''Godzilla'' films as did Katsumi Tezuka, who played Anguirus in ''Film/GodzillaRaidsAgain'', particularly the larvae form of Mothra, a role both shared in the same movie. This obviously wouldn't be possible if Nakajima and Tezuka, assuming they are still the actors, were merged with their respective suits. And the series claims that an unnamed actress played Mothra's larvae form.

Added DiffLines:

* MythologyGag: The Man in the Suit has several similarities to Film/ShinGodzilla, as a take on the King of Monsters that's based heavily on BodyHorror and follows the movie's implied origin for Godzilla as a TragicVillain who merged with the monster's body.

* BodyHorror: Whatever The Man in The Suit did to irradiate himself caused his body to explode and reshape itself within the Godzilla suit before fusing with it. The results of which aren't pretty. What's worse is that according to "Elise", The Man in The Suit's body is constantly changing, becoming more animalistic than human to the point where he can move the fake tail of the Godzilla suit as if it was his own. As if that wasn't bad enough, ''Rare Newspaper'' reveals that he's getting ''bigger'', big enough to ''tower over people's houses''. It's as if The Man in The Suit is becoming a ''real-life Godzilla''.

* GreaterScopeVillain: You can argue that the Toho Company (in this universe) is the true villain of the story as they insist on keeping the actors inside the monster suits locked up and treating them more like animals instead of getting them help for the sake of making more movies and money.
* TheMole: After Toho fires the cameraman for thinking he was trying to expose the incidents happening on-set (he was), he manages to befriend someone to be his spy and keep him updated.
* NoNameGiven: Aside from the actor inside the King Kong suit, Shoichi Hirose, no one has been given their name yet. The cameraman is purposely not giving names out to protect his and the identities of his family and associates/friends, such as calling a friend of his "Elise" instead of revealing her real name.
* PointOfNoReturn: A non-video game example. The cameraman lampshades how he's gone too far down the rabbit hole to stop. He thought about abandoning his investigations and leaving Japan but realized he'd be arrested at the airport if he did.

** In ''Anguirus Suit'', the spy reveals that Toho has been trying to get The Man in The Anguirus Suit to "cooperate" using force, like tasers, even though "Anguirus" clearly doesn't want to be there and wants to go home.
** In the ''Mosura Suit Incident'', [[spoiler:the spy also reveals that The Man in The Suit broke out because Toho was putting him through terrible conditions for their next movie, from forcing him to wear contacts to hide his bloodshot eyes, getting knocked over due to fake high winds, and getting dragged around. The cameraman says they were treating him like a circus animal]].
