* ObscuredSpecialEffects: Every time Godzilla metamorphoses into another phase, the red dust thickens and completely hides the transformation so they don't actually have to animate the model changing.

* StupidSacrifice: While fleeing from a swarm of Rodans, a little girl trips when her cat panics and breaks out of her arms to run for it, and Professor Li's assistant bravely scoops her up to carry her to safety. [[spoiler:Then Professor Li chases after and grabs ''the stupid cat,'' and is struggling to keep hold of it when a Rodan swoops down and eats her alive.]] A truly ''dumb'' way to die, made worse by the fact that it's literally ''the only'' human character death in the entire series.

* DarkerAndEdgier:In the previous cartoons Godzilla was good,here he is the hopeles future.

** The ancient mural of Godzilla and the Rodans is a reference on Utagawa Kuniyoshi's ''Tametomo Rescued by Tengu sent by Sanuki-in'' ukiyo-e painting, with Godzilla in place of the ''wani'' and the Rodan in place of the ''tengu''.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfRoles: Creator/BeauBillingslea plays the voice of ''many'' one-off characters, which is particularly noticeable given his distinctive voice.

* AlasPoorVillain: Anguirus is this. Even though he's an antagonistic, yet not villainous monster, he is portrayed more sympathetically compared to Rodan or Godzilla, thanks to his playful and shy, but unpredictable behavior. Who hadn't cried, or feel sympathy for him after witnessing his death?

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: The lullaby was sent back in time from an alternate future to do this. [[spoiler:Jet Jaguar PP implies that he was the one who did so, in and in a way was time travelling with it due to being encoded in it.]]

* TerrorDactyl: Rodan, as usual, is a terrifying GiantFlyer. However, he looks ''much'' more like a proper pterosaur than his earlier portrayals, being a quadruped with a large head and a wing membrane suspended by a single finger.

* PteroSoarer: Averted this time. Rodan, though still exaggerated, looks ''much'' more like a proper pterosaur than his more typical portrayals. He's even a quadruped now!

* MilitariesAreUseless: An old standby of Godzilla stories, and still valid in this one. When all is said and done, the three-man engineering firm Otaki Factory does more to stop the various Kaiju than the entire JSDF, both over the course of the entire series and in most individual episodes.

* BittersweetEnding:[[spoiler:The crisis with Godzilla and the red dust has been dealt with. But at the cost of Jet Jaguar and Pelops-2]].

* AllThereInTheManual: The ''Godzilla Singular Point'' novelization and ''Godzilla Singular Point Fan Book'' contain details and scenes that were left out of the show and clarify some of the questions left unanswered by the series, such as how the 1954 Godzilla -- whose skeleton rests in the basement of the Misakioku building -- died and its role in the 2030 Godzilla's emergence.

** In episode 12, the "multiversal" copies of Pelops-2 are mainly a gathering of cute to cartoonish Pelops-2's, with a wolf-like version at the bottom of the screen.

** At the end of the same episode, a fishing boat crew member tells his partner that "[[Film/{{Jaws}} we're going to need a bigger boat]]" as they witness a massive swarm of Rodan emerge from the red tide.

* AlienInvasion : according to some fan theories, since kaiju, as being described in the series, seem to be unlikely to be native of Planet Earth, or even it's dimension.

* AlasPoorVillain : Anguirus is this, even though he's an antagonistic, yet not villainous monster, is portrayed more sympathetically compared to Rodan or Godzilla, thanks to his playful and shy, but unpredictable, behavior. Who hadn't cried, or feel sympathy for him after witnessing his death ?

** Godzilla Ultima briefly reenacts the "atomic breath straight up" shot from Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019.

* MainliningTheMonster: SHIVA's Archetype turns out to be [[spoiler:derived from the red dust produced by the Godzilla skeleton in the basement of the Misakioku and Salunga]].

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Many of the kaiju shown have many rows of teeth. Anguirus seems to have an entire tongue covered in teeth, while Godzilla has four rows of teeth on both top and bottom and the addition of tusk-like fangs. The first Rodan takes this UpToEleven with the ''entirety'' of its mouth's surface covered in teeth.
