ROUND 1-

Godzilla (2014) Vs Biollante

GODZILLA 2014-

Species: Prehistoric Amphibious repltile

Height: 108 metres (355 feet)

Length: 550 feet, 4 inches

Weight: 90,000 tons

The Legendary Godzilla is the second incarnation of Godzilla to be featured in an American-made film, after the Tristar Godzilla from the 1998 film, and the tenth onscreen incarnation of the character overall. A colossal apex predator hailing from a time in Earth's past where surface radiation levels were considerably higher, Godzilla retreated deep underwater as this radiation declined to feed on the planet's natural geothermal radiation. Godzilla occasionally surfaced throughout history, inspiring some of humanity's mythology. In the 20th century, the advent of the nuclear age drew Godzilla to the surface, attracting the attention of the American military, which carried out a campaign of nuclear strikes against the monster in the South Pacific under the guise of nuclear testing. Godzilla vanished up until 2014, when parasitic creatures from his time period dubbed MUTOs were unleashed and prepared to begin reproducing. Godzilla hunted the MUTOs down to San Francisco, where he engaged in a protracted battle which ended when he killed them both and returned to the ocean. This incarnation of Godzilla has appeared in only a single film so far, but is referenced in the film Kong: Skull Island and is scheduled to reappear in the films Godzilla: King of The Monsters and Godzilla Vs kong.

ABILITIES-

Atomic Breath

The Legendary Godzilla retains the character's trademark atomic breath, however it appears to be used as a weapon of last resort rather than his primary weapon. When Godzilla charges his atomic breath, a blue glow slowly moves from the tip of his tail up his dorsal plates. Godzilla then spews a fiery blue blast of radiation from his mouth, which is capable of wounding and knocking down the female MUTO When he fires the beam directly into the female MUTO's mouth, it decapitates and kills her almost instantly. It appears that once Godzilla has fully charged his atomic breath he can fire it multiple times, as he fires the beam twice in rapid succession after he charges it for the first time.

In the film's official novelization and in an earlier screenplay, it is mentioned that the MUTOs' EMP evolved to interfere with Godzilla's atomic breath, meaning it is possible that the atomic breath is not shown at its full strength in the film. However, it is unknown if this use of the EMP applies to the film.

It is possible that using his atomic breath significantly drains Godzilla's energy, as he is shown collapsing from exhaustion shortly after using his atomic breath a third time to kill the female MUTO, though this could also be attributed to fatigue from the rest of the battle or from swimming from Hawaii to San Fransisco.

Durability

The Legendary Godzilla displays an impressive degree of durability. He is shown in the film's opening to have survived the detonation of Castle Bravo, a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb, while directly next to the bomb in 1954. When blasted by missiles and artillery by the United States military, Godzilla reacts but appears unharmed until one missile strikes him directly in the gills, causing him to reel back in pain and plow through the Golden Gate Bridge. Godzilla survives his battle against both MUTOs with little visible physical injury, and despite collapsing from exhaustion awakens hours later and walks back into the ocean completely unharmed.

Physical Abilities

While relying less on his atomic breath than previous incarnations, the Legendary Godzilla makes greater use of his physical strength and combat skills when fighting. Godzilla is able to defeat the male MUTO in each encounter, due to his size advantage. Godzilla is also able to overpower the larger female MUTO when he confronts her, although he does experience difficulty when trying to battle both MUTOs at once. When fighting the female MUTO, Godzilla first grabs her by the neck and pushes her backwards then bites down on her neck. He also at one point pushes the female MUTO to the ground and steps on her chest to pin her down, which could have allowed him to finish her had the male not intervened. Godzilla finally kills the female MUTO by grabbing her from behind when she is distracted and prying her jaws apart so he can fire his atomic breath down her throat. Godzilla's tail is also a formidable weapon, shown when he uses it to smash the male MUTO into a skyscraper when it tries to attack him from behind, impaling it on the building and killing it instantly.

Amphibiousness

The Legendary Godzilla possesses gills and amphibious lungs, which close whenever he comes onto land, allowing him to breathe both underwater and on land. An adept swimmer, Godzilla swims by undulating his tail like a crocodile. Godzilla is capable of swimming extremely quickly and eluding the United States Navy despite his size.

Intelligence

The Legendary Godzilla demonstrates learning and strategy during his battle with the MUTOs. When he is unable to overpower both MUTOs at the same time, he instead gradually learns their weaknesses and attack patterns after repeated clashes with them. After being repeatedly attacked from behind by the male MUTO, Godzilla anticipates its attack and allows it to fly behind him before swinging his tail and impaling the male MUTO on a building. After his atomic breath proves effective against the female MUTO, Godzilla sneaks up on her while she is going after Ford Brody and pulls her jaws apart, then fires his atomic breath down her throat and kills her. The Legendary Godzilla also appears to avoid unnecessary conflict, as he completely ignores the military's attacks and does not at any point retaliate, even after being visibly hurt by a missile striking his gills. After defeating both MUTOs, he leaves San Francisco peacefully, without causing any further destruction.

WEAKNESSES-

The Legendary Godzilla, while a formidable opponent, demonstrates a few weaknesses. The gills on his neck appear to be a weak point, shown when he reels back in pain after being struck directly in the gills by a missile. The MUTOs are able to draw blood from Godzilla and cause him to collapse to the ground by striking his gills with their hooked claws. Godzilla was also easily overwhelmed when both MUTOs attacked at once, being unable to fight the female head on and anticipate the male's attacks at the same time. Godzilla's endurance is also not limitless, as he suffers from apparent exhaustion multiple times during the fight. After killing the male MUTO, Godzilla pauses to breathe, only to be pinned under a collapsing skyscraper. After killing the female, Godzilla roars victoriously before collapsing to the ground and passing out.

BIOLLANTE

SPECIES: Mutated Rose

HEIGHT: 120 metres

WEIGHT: 200,000 Megatons

Biollante (ビオランテ Biorante) is a genetically-modified rose hybrid kaiju created by Toho that first appeared in the 1989 Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. Biollante.

Biollante was Godzilla's first opponent in the Heisei series of films, and was the first major Godzilla monster to be plant-based rather than animal-based or mechanical. Biollante was born out of Dr. Genshiro Shiragami's splicing of Godzilla cells into a rose that he had already spliced his dead daughter's cells into, causing it to mutate at an accelerated pace and become a giant flower monster with the consciousness of Shiragami's daughter still inside of it. Biollante initially took the form of a colossal rose rooted in Lake Ashi, where she was confronted by Godzilla and defeated. However, Biollante later returned in her larger and deadlier Plant Beast Form and attacked Godzilla at Wakasa Bay in an intense battle where both monsters were badly injured and forced to retreat.

After her second battle with Godzilla, Biollante dispersed into the atmosphere, and in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, it is hypothesized that Biollante's cells escaped the atmosphere and eventually lead to the birth of SpaceGodzilla.[note 2]  While she has only been featured in one film to date, Biollante has come to be a popular monster among fans, and has made appearances in other media ranging from comic books and manga to video games. Biollante also exists in the continuity of the GODZILLA anime trilogy, as there is an entire chapter dedicated to her in the novel GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse, while she also makes an appearance in the manga adaptation of GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters.

ABILITIES-

Tendrils

Biollante can constrict and grapple with an enemy with her many tendrils and mouthed vines, each of which are capable of spitting a highly corrosive sap that can blind an opponent. Some of her tendrils in her Plant Beast Form resemble spears and are capable of piercing through Godzilla's flesh relatively easily, with one even impaling Godzilla's hand.

Biollante can also use her tendrils for defensive purposes, as in her Flower Beast Form she used them to construct a wall to deflect Godzilla's atomic breath

Energy Spores

Biollante can break apart her entire body into golden energy particles, ascend into the atmosphere, and return, healing completely. She used this ability to survive both of her fights with Godzilla.

Acid sap

In her Plant Beast Form, Biollante retains all previous abilities, though she does acquire an additional one, which is the ability to spit large quantities of radioactive corrosive sap from her large mouth (the radiation is clearly visible as orange energy spores within the sap stream). She combines diamonds inside of her head to create this sap.

Movement

Despite her plant-like body and rather grounded-looking appearance, Biollante is capable of moving across the ground rather quickly, using her four main tendrils like rudimentary feet to propel herself forwards.

Regeneration

Biollante also sports extremely enhanced regeneration capabilities, shown when she seemingly completely regenerated the back part of her head after it had been blown off by Godzilla's atomic ray (though this may just be a continuity error). According to Dr. Shiragami, Biollante is completely immortal and cannot die, due to both her regenerative capacity and ability to break apart into energy spores when wounded.

Biollante's regenerative capacity is further showcased in the comic series Godzilla: Cataclysm, when she is incinerated and reduced to a small chunk of plant matter by Godzilla's atomic breath. This chunk begins rapidly regenerating and growing, developing into a core and sprouting numerous vines and roses. Even while just a small regenerating core, Biollante maintains her ability to use her vines in combat, shown when she restrains Destoroyah and allows Godzilla to defeat him. Biollante's regenerative capacity seems to extend to other nearby plants as well in this comic, as she restores plant life in the devastated remains of Tokyo once she successfully becomes planted into the ground again

Tunneling

Biollante can submerge her vines and tendrils and then have them rise up from the ground further away from her in a surprise attack. This ability is seen specifically in the video game Godzilla on the PlayStation 3 and 4, as well as in the IDW comic series Godzilla: Cataclysm.

In Godzilla: Unleashed, Biollante has the ability to submerge her entire body underground and tunnel around toward opponents.

WEAKNESSES-

In Biollante's Flower Beast Form, her cellular division is abnormally affected by Godzilla's atomic ray, resulting negatively in heavy body damage. Direct blasts from the atomic breath inside of her also can prove catastrophic, as with her final battle against Godzilla when Godzilla fired his atomic breath into her mouth, causing it to explode out of the back of her head.

In GODZILLA: Monster Apocalypse, Biollante was destroyed when the underground combat vehicle Moguera destroyed an organ in her root cavity, described as a "heart." After this organ was destroyed, Biollante immediately crumbled into dust.
