** “[[https://youtube.com/shorts/fyPmCPJ3vhE?si=-UM57IpUsnFLyoHG I AM MEGALON!!]]”[[note]]On the year of his anniversary, this meme emerged online, based on a 4chan post where a VideoGame/VRChat user with a Megalon skin interrupted some cringy RPers by barging in on them, screaming the aforementioned catchphrase, then crashing the map. The phrase has since gone on to be associated with Megalon himself.[[/note]]

** Jet Jaguar shaking Godzilla's hand at the end is so bizarre it's brilliant. Then the slow zoom toward Jet Jaguar's face just takes the awkwardness of the scene up to eleven.

A response to 'Ho Yay', giving information about the Japanese version

Added DiffLines:

** In the Japanese language version, this becomes a little more clear. Rokuro calls Goro as "Ni-chan", a childish version of "Ni-san", meaning "older brother". Hiroshi calls Goro "Senpai" and Goro calls him "Jinkawa" (his last name) consistently. Given the time period and the forms used, the most common explanation would be that Hiroshi is Goro's assistant and Rokuro is Goro's little brother. Rokuro calls Hiroshi "Jinkawa-san", which is correct for someone who is not a member of the family and older/more senior than him.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The movie was a complete bomb in Japan but when it was released in America it became a surprise financial hit and was a lot of [[NewbieBoom people’s introduction to the king the monsters]].
** Sadly this also tainted Godzilla’s reputation in America, many seeing him as a big joke. For example when ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'' was planning to be distributed in America, New World wanted to turn into a comedy. The critical reaction to the film itself in America was complete confusion. To them they were wondering why the film was taking itself too seriously and was trashed by most critics. Up until the Franchise/MonsterVerse started in 2014, when an American thought of Godzilla (not [[Film/Godzilla1998 Zilla]], mind) they were probably thinking of ''Film/GodzillaVsMegalon''.

** However, this perception did have its downsides, as part of the audience instead decided to not take Godzilla seriously.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The actual score for the movie may be as much of a rushed mess as the movie itself, but the [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X1naojEFdOY Jet Jaguar song]] is widely considered the best song of the movie for its crazy lyrics and surprisingly catchy instrumental.

** Despite the movie itself not being well received, Megalon himself was very much well accepted by the fans for having a cool design and some decent fighting ability. It helps he has appeared in the [[VideoGame/GodzillaDestroyAllMonstersMelee Atari/Pipeworks Godzilla games]] as an easy to pickup and play fighter.
** Gigan's status as one no doubt was the reason for his inclusion in this title.
** Jet Jaguar has become this in recent years from fans who love him for having a [[NarmCharm ridiculously amazing design]], excellent fighting capabilities, and above all else, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic his awesomely cheesy theme song]].

** The overly enthusiastic "Punch! Punch! Punch!" from the Jet Jaguar song became its own minor meme, even getting an EasterEgg reference in the ViralMarketing to [[Film/{{Godzilla2014}} the 2014 Godzilla]].

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Godzilla, for reasons that have never been explained, slides on his tail ''twice'' to beat Megalon. It’s never been done before and it’s never referenced again.
