The Man in the Suit
The Man in the Suit / "Gojira" / "Goji"
Wake up. You have a purpose. Stop trying to stop the inevitable.
The titular main antagonist of the series. A mysterious man obsessed over his Gojira costume who ended up fused with it somehow.- Ambiguous Situation: It's currently unknown if he's an unnamed Haruo Nakajima or another actor played Gojira in the series' version of events.
- Ax-Crazy: Any sanity The Man in The Suit had was destroyed when he merged with the Godzilla suit. He proclaims himself a God with a desire for revenge against those who hurt Japan, and he murders the entire filming crew and the cast of King Kong vs. Godzilla just because they want to make a movie with the Americans. So great is his vengeance that he forcefully converts other suit actors with their respective kaiju suits into beings like him to act as his army against the Americans, whether they like it or not.
- Becoming the Mask: He was the actor hired to play Gojira in the original film, and grew obsessed with the character to the point where he spent more and more time in the suit than out of it. Then the incident happened and he's basically become Gojira himself, in more ways than one.
- Berserk Button: Americans. The Man in The Suit hates them for dropping their nukes on Japan, which killed thousands of lives as well as the lives of his family.
- Big Bad: The main antagonist of the series.
- Body Horror: And how. For starters, the process in which his body filled the suit is compared to the cream filling inside the donut. Whatever's inside the suit no longer resembles a human body. Additionally, The Man also began to grow hard scales and spines that weren't present in the original costume.
- Breath Weapon: After escaping into the forest, The Man in the Suit attempted to fight off Toho agents by projectile vomiting a mysterious and corrosive substance that left a steaming, hazardous puddle. This was very obviously the Man's horrific take on Godzilla's iconic Atomic Breath.
- Category Traitor: He feels this way towards any Japanese person who would associate themselves with the Americans. In the translated description of Godzilla Encounter (1962), he professes his hatred towards the "traitors" (i.e., the filming crew and cast members) for working with the ones who bombed their country. His hatred is so great that he attacked and killed Shoichi Hirose and the whole staff working on King Kong vs. Godzilla because of this.
- Death Glare: While the Anguirus actor was fusing with his costume, The Man kept the staff members away from the body by glaring at them as shown on the right.
- Disproportionate Retribution: The Man in the Suit attacked and killed Shoichi Hirose and the film crew and cast of King Kong vs. Godzilla because he saw them as "traitors" for working with the Americans, even though they were just doing their jobs. Hirose got it worse, as The Man in the Suit killed him solely because he was playing an American monster.
- Expy: As a version of Godzilla centered around Body Horror, The Man in the Suit shares similarities with Shin Godzilla. And much like The Man in the Suit, Shin is heavily implied to be born from a man merging with Godzilla.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: As the military closed off the area surrounding The Man's toxic blood pool, one of the scientists investigating the lake saw an eye floating in it. The other scientists didn't believe the claim, but they searched the pool for it just to be safe. While they didn't find anything, Unknowingly would post a picture of a close-up of a lake. Guess what's in it?
- A God Am I: He considers Gojira, and by extension himself, a God that will deliver justice to the Americans who killed his family.
- Hypocrite: He holds a grudge against the Americans for killing his family but showed no remorse when he killed the Woman in the Larvae Suit's parents when they tried to intervene. And while he sees himself as Japan's avenger, he regularly slaughters other Japanese people either for working with Americans or because they inconvenience him and his plans.
- Maker of Monsters: The reason why he's turning other Kaiju actors into monsters. He wants to make an army of costume-human hybrids just like him to kill the Americans.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Holds a grudge against the Americans as his family was killed by the nuclear bombs. During the production of King Kong vs. Godilla, he would harass the American film crew and would later kill a Japanese actor for portraying the American monster King Kong, seeing him as a traitor to his country.
- Radiation-Induced Superpowers: "Elise", a friend of The Cameraman, hypothesises that the cause of The Man's transformation is radiation.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: His mutation has given him permanent bloodshot eyes. Toho had to give him contact lenses to hide it from the audience.
- Revenge: His motivation. The Man in the Suit wants vengeance against the Americans for their bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed thousands of Japanese people, including his own family, who died in the former city.
- Rivers of Blood: Trying to fight off the Toho agents sent to capture him, The Man in The Suit vomited a stream of a boiling red substance (likely his blood) that turned into a small pond. The pond became toxic and started blowing out poisonous smoke. It got so dire the military had to shut off the area and wear hazmat suits to get close to it.
- That Man Is Dead: Whoever the Man was before he fused himself with the Gojira suit is gone. In his own words, he's Goji now.
- Tragic Monster: At the end of the day, The Man in The Suit's desire for revenge against the Americans and justice for the Japanese people is because he lost everything when the U.S. dropped their nukes, and he's willing to forsake his humanity to become a real-life Godzilla to do this.
- Sanity Slippage: Even before he fused with the Godzilla suit, the first video entry showed something was seriously wrong with the Man's head. He was very passionate about the Gojira suit to the point of obsession. He barely took the suit off of him to the point where nobody in the studio ever saw his face outside of the costume, and he even took it home despite being told not to as it was studio property; the Man even insisted they call him "Goji", a nickname for Gojira. After merging with the suit itself, any sense he had was gone. All that's left is a vengeful monster.
- Viral Transformation: Whatever caused his initial mutations allows The Man to transfer that effect to other actors through his bite.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He's willing to become a real-life kaiju to exact revenge on those who hurt Japan and her people, even if it means transforming more suit actors into monsters like him, whether they like it or not.
The Cameraman
The Cameraman
- Detrimental Determination: Exposing what goes on behind Toho's walls and showing The Man in The Suit's actions needs to be done, but it comes at a personal cost for our Cameraman. He's stuck in Japan and gone into hiding, and he has to remain anonymous to protect himself and the lives of his friends and family, the latter of whom miss him very much. The Cameraman muses that he should've stopped looking into Toho and the Man while he still could, but he's too far gone the rabbit hole to stop. If he tried to leave Japan now with what he knows, he'd get arrested, and everyone he cares about would be in danger. All he can do now is see through it to the end.
- He Knows Too Much: Part of his contract with Toho mentioned that he is not allowed to tell anyone about The Man in the suit. After The Man massacred the other staff members in the production of the Gojira vs Kong movie, he is forced into hiding as he fears his life would be in danger should he try to escape the country.
- I've Come Too Far: The Cameraman says how he should've stopped investigating Toho and The Man in the Suit when he had the chance and left Japan, but realizes he's too far down the rabbit hole to stop. If he tried to leave the country now, he'd get arrested at the airport because of what he knows.
- No Name Given: Lampshaded. The Cameraman is intentionally not giving out names (as well as his own) to protect himself, his family, and his friends and associates, such as calling a friend of his "Elise" instead of revealing her real name.
- Point of No Return: 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.
- Sole Survivor: The unnamed Cameraman lucked out when he ran out to get some air during Godzilla Encounter (1962). If he stayed in the room where they were filming King Kong vs. Godzilla, he probably would've died with the rest of the filming crew when The Man in The Suit killed them all for their "treachery".
- The Stool Pigeon: The Cameraman has been trying to document and reveal the horrors behind Toho's walls, from cruelly treating the transformed suit actors like animals or test subjects instead of getting them help to whatever deal they have with the military regarding the "kaiju". In Dorsal Extraction, Toho gives him the boot when they think he's been telling people what they're doing. They were right.
The Toho Company
General
Toho Co.
The company being the Gojira films and the employers of The Man in the Suit along with various other Kaiju actors- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Despite how dangerous and aggressive The Man is, the company still insists on having him as the film's lead. Even after the deaths of countless staff members, two more actors fused with their costumes and the murder of Shoichi Hirose.
- Greater-Scope Villain: While The Man is the main antagonist, they're the ones pulling the strings by suppressing his existence from the public and conducting experiments with him. All this served to worsen his already bizarre condition even further.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Despite the actors being mutated and fused with their respective monster suits, Toho isn't doing anything to help them.
- 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 Mosura Suit Incident, 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.
Suit Actors / "Kaiju"
Anguirus
The Man in the Anguirus Suit / "Anguirus"
- And I Must Scream: Turns out, getting fused to a Kaiju costume is not the most pleasant experience. As The Man in the Anguirus suit's cries of pain reveals.Anguirus: Help me, someone help me, it hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts, I can't get out, please help me, oh god!
- Throw It In!: It turns out that the infamous bloody neck bite in Godzilla Raids Again was not scripted; meaning the blood gushing out was also not an effect, The Man in the Suit had bitten into the actor's head hard enough to cause it to bleed.
Mosura
The Woman in the Larvae Suit / "Mosura"
An actress portraying one of the Mosura larvae suits- Deadly Gas: When people tried to take the cocoon down from the ceiling, it sprayed a poisonous (or radioactive) orange gas at the people. It immediately flooded the room and caused them to evacuate with surprisingly no casualties.
- Bait-and-Switch: Much like The Man in the Suit and The Man in the Anguirus Suit, the Woman in the Larvae Suit was bitten and her body mutated to fuse to her costume. Instead of simply filling out the inside of the suit however, a picture revealed that the suit instead became an actual cocoon.
- Spectator Casualty: The actress's parents were watching her film some scenes and witnessed The Man in the Suit attacking her. When they tried to intervene, The Man murdered them.
King Ghidorah
Other Characters / Associates
Associates of the Cameraman
"Elise"
The Spy
The Spy
Another Toho employee working for the company. After going into hiding and getting fired, the Cameraman convinces him to turn on the company and act as his man on the inside.- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The Spy is, well, a spy for the Cameraman.
- The Mole: For the Cameraman. After going into hiding and getting fired from Toho, the Cameraman convinced him to turn on the company. He now acts as his informant and keeps him posted on whatever is going on.
- Mr. Exposition: Like the Cameraman, he provides details on what Toho and The Man in the Suit are up to, from The Man escaping captivity, the fallout from the blood vomit pool he spewed out, and the mysterious deal the company has with the military regarding the mutated actors.
- No Name Given: Like everyone in the series, the Cameraman refers to him as "The Spy" to protect his identity.
