The KiryuGoji suit is among the most expressive of the Godzilla suits, and has animatronics included which allow for some facial expressions and more notably, the ability to widen or narrow the suit's eyes, giving Godzilla genuine expressions of surprise, shock or anger. Godzilla's skin also returned from the MireGoji green to the old charcoal black, Godzilla's traditional color. The dorsal plates were reduced a bit and lost their purplish hue, deciding to keep the classic bone-white color, but still remained jagged like the MireGoji's dorsal plates. The head was completely changed and made smaller, almost imitating the head of the Heisei series Godzilla. This new version, dubbed KiryuGoji, did however go under some pretty obvious changes from those two previous designs. Godzilla's name within the Millennium series follows the convention of that of the Showa era Godzilla, being a transliteration of Gojira (ゴジラ ?), a combination of two Japanese words: gorira (ゴリラ ?), meaning gorilla, and kujira (鯨 or クジラ ?), meaning whale.įor the film, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, Toho decided to stray away from Shusuke Kaneko's SokogekiGoji and go back to the look of the MireGoji.
