Total Number of Fights Won by Each Kaiju in Godzilla Movies

The legacy of Godzilla spans an impressive 70 years, featuring a staggering array of kaiju (giant monsters) that have invaded the franchise over the decades. These colossal beings often embody a spectrum of roles; some serve as allies to humanity, while others emerge as formidable adversaries. Regardless of their allegiance, one element unites them: fierce battles that captivate audiences. Whether you’re an aficionado of the latest CGI-laden MonsterVerse or a devotee of the classic tokusatsu films from the Showa and Heisei periods—especially the more whimsical tales featuring Godzilla—kaiju confrontations are undoubtedly one of the franchise’s most exhilarating aspects.

As expected, Godzilla boasts the most impressive combat record. However, many other monsters have secured notable victories along the way. Conversely, certain kaiju, like the floppy-eared Baragon, the oversized shrimp Ebirah, the insect-like Megalon, and the threatening Monster X from Godzilla: Final Wars, have consistently fallen short, with none managing a single victory on-screen. With anticipation building for the next installment from Studio Toho, let’s examine the win-loss records of these monumental creatures.

As the undisputed king of the kaiju, Godzilla’s victory tally reflects his central role throughout the series, particularly since many films feature his name prominently. While he has faced formidable foes such as King Kong, Mothra, and Ghidorah, Godzilla often emerges as the victor, delivering the final blow even against the mightiest adversaries.

His win rate is remarkable, standing at approximately 75% across all appearances in Japanese films. In the MonsterVerse, his victories extend further, with six wins and just one loss in a total of eight major battles.

2. MechaGodzilla

7 Wins (+ 1 MonsterVerse Win)

None

The robotic counterpart, MechaGodzilla, has also carved out a notable legacy with a commendable win record. His debut in 1974’s Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla showcased his formidable power, where he managed to crush Anguirus and overpower Godzilla himself. Despite this impressive start, his fortunes shifted in the following film, Terror of Mechagodzilla, where he met his match.

In a twist of fate, its return in the 1990s as a defense mechanism for Japan yielded mixed results, but the “good”MechaGodzilla consistently brings engaging combat to the franchise.

Mothra, another iconic figure, has a rich history as both a rival and ally to Godzilla. Often characterized by self-sacrifice, Mothra has played pivotal roles, particularly in battles against threats such as Ghidorah. Moreover, she has showcased her innate abilities by aiding Godzilla in crises, occasionally falling in battle but leaving a lasting impact.

2 Wins (+ 2 MonsterVerse Wins)

None

Despite being hailed as an intergalactic menace, Ghidorah’s record is surprisingly modest. In his initial appearances, he struggled against both Mothra and Godzilla, showcasing the fallibility even of such an imposing creature. However, the MonsterVerse incarnation demonstrated greater prowess, especially in pivotal encounters against Godzilla.
