* TheUnfettered: Malness again. To him, a giant, golden, lightning-spewing space dragon is a negligible inconvenience to his mission to kill a princess. Then again, Malness was threatened by his boss with death as punishment if he returned home without completing his mission, so he actually has a valid reason to keep going.

* DubNameChange: While in the U.S. dub, the princess is identified as "Princess Selina Salno," in the original Japanese dialogue her full name and title is "Princess Mas Dorina Salno." It is a Japanese pun for their phrase, "Ma, sudori nasaru, no/Well, are you passing through?"

Catchphrase is now a disambiguation page.


* CatchPhrase: Salno blandly states "I am from Venus" (or "I am a Martian" in the dub) any time her behavior or abilities are questions, and sometimes for no reason at all.

You either "break new ground" or "lay groundwork". "Breaking groundwork" would imply destroying what something else had set up.


Despite breaking the new the groundwork for the majority of the films that would follow, ''Ghidorah'' pretty much never saw theatrical distribution outside Asian and American territories for some reason.

If "What Happened To The Mouse" is that the "mouse" died, then this trope doesn't apply.


* BusCrash: The second Mothra Larva from the previous film Film/MothraVsGodzilla is revealed to have died between movies, likely from being battered about by Godzilla's tail.

** In the Japanese dialogue, Malness and his men also dismiss the appearance of Rodan as being a problem.



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The second Mothra Larva from the previous film Film/MothraVsGodzilla disappears without explanation. Officially, we don't know what became of the second larva. It may or may not be the Mothra who pops up about two years later in 1966's ''Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster''.

King Ghidorah is a life form from space... not a "cosmic monstrosity." That's just American fanboy edgelord nonsense.


* ButtMonkey: Godzilla is ''absolutely'' this in the movie in his fights with Rodan and especially King Ghidorah, with two {{Groin Attack}}s to boot.

** Mothra as well. Compared to the other monsters, he's tiny. Yet he throws himself at King Ghidorah again and again. It's this show of raw courage that brings Godzilla and Rodan into the fray to help him drive off the three headed space monster.

* EndangeringNewsBroadcast: At the Diet news conference announcing the new danger to Earth, a minister enquires about "the Martian girl's" location. Considering an attempt had just been made on Salina's life, Naoko rather foolishly [[LooseLips replies that she's at Tsukamoto's clinic]], which tips off the assassins. Oddly, [[PoliceAreUseless Shindo never registers]] his sister's mistake.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Malness had come within a hair's breath of being crushed to death by the first rockslide, which perhaps explains why he was unable to deal Salina a lethal shot while she was in his crosshairs. However, he manages to end the rifle-pistol duel with Shindo by [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands shooting the officer's gun]].

Fixed Mothra's gender. She is still female in this movie. She still has three claspers, demarcating her as such. Took out the bus crash because it was irrelevant after the last bit of information was incorrect.


* BadassAdorable: The Mothra larva. Even though by comparison to Godzilla and Rodan he isn’t very powerful, he's still got enough guts not only to try to get them to stop fighting and ask them to help save the world from Ghidorah, but to then go and take on Ghidorah himself on his own (at first) when it seems the other two won't lift a claw in humankind's defense. He also refuses to stay down no matter what Ghidorah does to him. Godzilla and Rodan are quickly impressed by his courage and come to her aid.

* BusCrash: One of the two Mothra larvae from [[Film/MothraVsGodzilla the previous film]] was assumed to have died between films for no explained reason. However the one in this film is referred to in the dub as ''male'' (the sub confirmed this). The female twin appears in later films, however.
