* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Some people have theorized that the movie is a metaphor for the cold war with Godzilla and Rodan representing the US and the USSR, pointlessly fighting each other, causing destruction and refusing to let go of their grudges to stop a greater threat.
* TheWoobie: Mothra Larva.

** Becomes HilariousInHindsight later on when [[Film/DestroyAllMonsters Rodan attacks Moscow, USSR about 3 years later.]]
* TheWoobie: Poor Mothra Larva.Larva, first getting refused in aiding her against the threat Ghidorah represents by Godzilla and Rodan and the later on getting horribly abused by the powerful King Ghidorah, you'd just want to give the adorable little larvae a great big hug after everything she went through.

* CompleteMonster: This was the first appearance of Godzilla's ArchEnemy, and living catastrophe, the titular three-headed dragon [[Characters/GodzillaTheGhidorahs King Ghidorah]]. Reveling in the destruction that he causes, King Ghidorah flies from planet to planet, exterminating life for his own entertainment. Having already annihilated the civilization on Venus (Mars in the dub), King Ghidorah arrives on Earth, intent on repeating the process. Beaten by Earth's protectors, Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra, King Ghidorah did not accept his defeat gracefully, and returned again and again, ravaging the Earth on behalf of the Xiliens in ''Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster'', the Space Hunter Nebula M aliens in ''Film/GodzillaVsGigan'', and finally the Kilaaks in ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'', which proved to be the Great King of Terror's last stand. Essentially a life-hating demigod in the form of a dragon, King Ghidorah, undoubtedly the very worst of Godzilla's Showa Era, was responsible for the loss of millions of lives.
