Or Gamera's 120% plasma spit? or his aerial beyblade? or his escape manuever in 13;36 that he did against Legion? I thought those weren't either, DEATH BATTLE is not fully scientific and actually orients more on entertainment, surprising the viewer by pulling out something not aforementioned is a common weapon to entertain the viewer, and it will give even more impact if it was something decisive, which Godzilla's energy absorption and growth factor were. Sir, those thing on 16:46 re-appear again on his other body parts like the forehead seconds later and they seem to prominently emit from his back like pulses, they appear at one body part then disappear in a blink except for his scutes. if it were blood, it should have been animated to stick consistently to the wound like Gamera's in the video, since it doesn't even look like a profuse bleeding WHICH EXAMPLE ALREADY EXIST in the video, I still won't buy it as a bleeding of wounds And why exactly did it need to be "sticking blood flow" like Gamera? Animation is not perfect, the colour and texture doesn't fit "aura" that you speak of, the areas of of the spurts are inconsistent towards being primary conduits of energy flow of any Godzilla iterations, and the possibility that Godzilla survived with less serious wounds than predicted are all pieces of evidence that don't support your non-acceptance.

As well, something as serious as absorbing the Mana Beam and getting suddenly and inexplicably bigger are extremely unknown factors that would've been unpredictable and necessary to back-up and explore, as feats like "biting the hand off" and "lifting into space" are all documented and accepted feats seen in the characters' respective franchises, but sudden absorption of an energy source not documented to be be able to be absorbed by Godzilla and getting bigger from it isn't, even though it's been represented that the size Godzilla was displayed in the end lines up with his original size albeit straighter in posture. Well, animations aren't perfect, but at least we've seen that the people who worked on this video was capable enough to make it distinct between energy beams pulses and auras or the more liquid-looking blood that was on Gamera, and it came to me that it would be easier to notice the bleeding if the blood colour was made different to the color of the energy burst if it was anything meant to be visually worthy, and that's what Im saying, the animation spurts inconsistently to many body parts and blinks away unlike Gamera's continuous flow of green, it might indicate a larger area of wound, but re-skinning the model with wound would be more representative than that and consume less time if my calculation is right.

Extremely unknown factor? Godzilla's absorption of foreign energy is nothing extremely unknown and Plasma is obviously one of them, watch Godzilla vs Megaguirus. Godzilla being able to bite a monster's hand off was also a poorly explained event, not until people realize Godzilla is fighting on a different level of physical force and the fact that the only time Gamera got amputated before was from his self-inflicted plasma fire, even if their weight difference was given, you can't simply assume people's average insight or interest on physics is so big for them to be able to take explainable conclusion just from such raw data. and there's also no explanation how on the realm of Kaiju Gamera could lift something that was believed to be 9 times heavier than himself or even the fact Godzilla could survive in vacuum which need some research on one of his Showa movie. I said before thay ScrewAttack is not a bland science forum, the element of unpredictability was meant to be there, and the gaps of explanation makes people discuss more and research more about the subject, an effective way to promote pop culture. If they were to handout all data (well, even if their datas are fully accurate) to the audience and decide the winner with the plain purpose of finding out the victor, they shouldn't bother to make cool videos about the duke-out, and Godzilla's energy absorption is there for the audience to explore and find out about, and huala... The franchises got their fame spread onto the new generation by ScrewAttack, and Death Battle gains more audience on the way.
