He's techanically the father due to being built on the original Godzilla skeleton. In terms of ressurection, he is a brother, which I prefer. He's tormented by his memories, has to prove himself, then protects the world with an almost Shadow the Hedgehog attitude. He doesn't really like his brother, but he can't bring himself to kill him.

He's just another member of the species mutated by fallout. Or are you just kidding?
I'm coming from the angle of their being a linear heritage between the Godzilla's. Whether this is true or not, whatever. Thats just how I look at it.

I've always preferred this theory as well, having Kiryu as an "older brother" makes more sense, and its kind of like a insanely heated sibling rivalry.

Director (and screenwriter of TOKYO SOS) Masaaki Tezuka described them as father and son.

So Vader is the good guy and Luke is the antagonist? Oh my, Japan, what have you done!?

I always assumed the were brothers, with SOS Godzilla being the same Godzilla as the one from GRA, but that's just me.

Godzilla has a regen like Wolverine, a skin like Luke Cage, a hero aura like Captain America, a strength like Hulk, an unstoppability like Juggernaut, an immortality like Deadpool.

There's a 'God' in Godzilla for a reason...

It has never been said if the first and second Godzilla are related or not in any official film. I myself, like to think the first Godzilla is the father of the next, but that is just me.

They're actually sisters.
I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

If that was true, Godzilla would've tracked Kiryu for the wrong reasons.

No real indication that they are related whatsoever. The alive G in this film is pretty dumb though in comparison to the 1st G, so I would call him the slow cousin if they actually are related

Unless there is alot of joking around, Obivous ignoreing of the guy (KPA) with trusted facts on the subject matter is obivous.

They are father and son. Fin
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

Sure, thats the explanation. But everyone has a preference.

Me, I like to think they are brothers.

Then you are wrong. If the director says it is a farher-son relationship then guess what? It is despite what you think.

Like I said, it is preference, opinion, whatever. I never said I was right. Now I know.

The director said that? I thought Kiryu was the Mom, and gave birth to the Godzilla in the movie.
