Tear Jerker / Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II

• Godzilla Junior was just a cute, lovable baby, being raised by a kindly biologist named Azusa Gozo. It's established that he imprinted on her while in his egg and saw her as his mother. At the end, Azusa tearfully knows she can't care for him anymore and tries to get him to go with Godzilla. When she attempts to board the escape chopper, Junior tugged on her coat like a scared puppy and didn't want her to leave. After she embraces the infant and tells him they have to part ways, you can see Junior weeping. It's possibly the first time in the franchise we've ever seen a kaiju visibly cry.
  • And the music does NOT help one bit.
  • What also doesn't help is how heartbroken Asuza really is. Even in the English dub, the voice actress for her sounds like she's giving her waterworks overtime. That was the last time either of them saw each other as Asuza didn't show up in later movie. Although it would lead to further heartbreak to see her child die in front of her.
  • Plus, after Gojo leaves and Godzilla shows up, Baby's first reaction is to run in fear back to his holding crate.
• Godzilla's own demise (and subsequent revival as Rodan sacrifices himself) at the hands of Mechagodzilla also counts; especially considering how Godzilla was really only looking for Baby, and would have left on peaceful terms had humanity not irrationally unleashed Mechagodzilla on him with little hesitation. Remember that this Godzilla is (supposedly) psychic.
