Mutsumi was two different aliens in each film. I can't remember what the first alien's name is, but I know he had one (can anyone help me out here?). The second alien's name, I know, was Mugar.GojiDog wrote:Weird thing about the two Showa Mechagodzilla movies was casting Goro Mutsumi as the lead villain in both films. This is more of an issue for Terror since it came 2nd, but it kind of confused me as a kid. When I saw Terror at age 6, I recognized him from the previous film (might be the first time I ever recognized a Godzilla cast member in a different film), and I thought "Wait...didn't he die last time?".
Do all black hole alien leaders assume the exact same Earth disguise? (Which is my head canon explanation. New leader, same suit/skin/shell/whatever, lol)
I personally think that the two of them were twin brothers on the Third Planet of the Black Hole and thus assumed a similar look for their human disguises. And yes, I know the appearance of the aliens in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla did not match the one in Terror of Mechagodzilla (one of the storyline's few major flaws). I don't know why Toho let that happen.
