Welcome, everybody to the newest episode of Godzilla Explained, this time we are going to be breaking down the controversial topic of Shin Gojira's tail. I know there is a lot of confusion about what is going on with it as well as a lot of strong opinions as to the "face" contained in the tail. In this episode, we will breakdown everything from the pre-movie concept art to the post movie promotional footage in order to truly explain what it is that is happening with Shin Gojira's tail. This includes the debunking of SHMA's Shin Gojira Awakening version that has an open mouthed tail shooting atomic breath.
Due to the amount of hate, I am bound to get for this video dislike if you agree that Godzilla's tail has no mouth until the 5th evolution starts which is what I feel, and like if you think the mouth is there all along. Thanks, guys, D Man out.
The video fucks up at 2:30 to 2:38, great video tho keep it up
David Dubay well I don't know why
David Dubay thanks for the heads up
D Man1954 no problem man shit happens. I'm really enjoying the video so far. Nice theory

Funny, I was thinking how similar they both are. Both the Thing and shin godzilla are able to rapidly change themselves and evolve to fit their current adversary and the unpredictability in both of them, and their cosmic horror vibes
The way Godzilla’s mouth splits when he uses the beam...wow
When he used hes atomic beam he fears and pain cause it burns the throat
It's freakishly scary and awesome
Snakes do that when they're swallowing their prey.
@@wetube6513 My friend’s snake would always atomic breath the frozen mice she’d feed it
@@FollowMe4REP cool
If I remember correctly the humanoids aren’t sequel setup, it’s meant to be thematic. I remember someone (I forgot if it was a crew member or someone else explaining their intention) explained it along the lines of “if Godzilla was killed by committee, then his next evolution was to become a committee.” The idea was humanity was the ultimate monster, so his ultimate evolution was to become a form of humanity
It was beautifully grotesque and thematic. Like no joke, they should've kept that prop of the humanoids breaking off from the tail as a monument to the Fukushima incident. It seriously even rivals H.R. Giger's work.
Yeah that was the Idea though they missed a great opportunity to actually make sequels for Shin Godzilla as Shin Godzilla itself brought back the interest for more Toho Godzilla films. I think they had something solid with Shin but both Toho and Hideaki Anno moved on to new projects
@@fcon2123agreed but it can’t rival something that absolutely was influenced by it. If anything it’s a total homage to Giger. In the Alien franchise, humans are even bigger monsters than the Xenomorphs!
They were gonna be sequel set up. It was gonna be a hive mind then slowly become a universe but it wouldn’t really look like Godzilla, wouldn’t really be Godzilla, and there’d be no way for humans to win. Or at least in the concept art
@@Dookieman1975 godzilla would take the form of a humanoid woman if the information about the tail being Goro Maki's DNA is true then Godzilla took the form of Goro Maki's wife that had died due to radiation sickness. I think it would've been cool if they would've made a sequel where godzilla remains as godzilla but the tail mutates to these things including the woman humanoid as she'd be like an antenna for Godzilla to control the new hivemind mutation
Those humanoid creatures coming out of Shin Godzilla's tail looks like a Xenomorph.
Yep

%99 of the video : *FACE IN THE TAIL*
%1 of the video : normal video
Well, I'm glad to know there's kind of a face in the tail, but it's good to hear a concise explanation about why there's no face in the tail. Toys don't have a face in the tail, but thankfully some toys have a face in the tail so we can have a discussion clarifying for 10 extra minutes why that's not really a face in the tail. I can't wait for the sequel "Shin Godzilla 2: Face in the Tail" so we can finally get to the bottom of the face in the tail issue, and tail in the face theories, because - let's face it - there's more to this tale than what's at face value (in the tail). we can talk about flat and round tails, phasing the tail, long tails, short tails, medium tails, tall tales, duck tales, tails with half faces, full faces, long faces, and sad faces that are sometimes in the tail and not in the tail, but out the tail. sonic's friend tails has a face, so that's technically a face in the tails. toss a coin, call face or tails: oh! nope! no face in the tail, you win. i lose. congratulations.

i want the sequel to be called Shin Godzilla POV
I mean, there’s no way for the humans to win if he thaws. The plans for the sequel was that it was gonna start evolving into a hive mind, then slowly become a universe. There’s no way to have the humans win without the plot armor being ridiculous. So for now, it ends with shin being frozen for who knows how long
@@Dookieman1975They Could Probably Bring The Og Godzilla (Heisei Or Legendary) To Fight Shin It Would Be Cool
@@Dookieman1975I mean, I wanna see him win
I feel like all of those weird humanoid beings are supposed to be Godzilla's ground defense, as he can't exactly see through buildings, so he pops these out to go through the city and cause chaos on the streets
That ending shot is just so chilling. The idea that all of this effort could have been for nothing and that there's so much more to this godzilla that we may never fully understand
To me it’s just a sign of the inevitable. One day Godzilla will wake up. His evolution will continue, he is a pure force of nature and reflects the whole commentary of the movie. Referring to the earthquake/tsunami back in 2011. No matter what nature will always win, we can only do so much. It’s one of my favorite movie endings of all time.
I always imagined his 5th evolution being less about DNA and more about adapting to a threat that could kill him. He adapted to every situation or weapon that held him back, the last of which being straight up human ingenuity. Therefore, the natural thing to do would be to evolve into something that could directly compete with humans: a superior humanoid, and many of them.
Shin doesn’t take DNA from another, he just evolves and reacts and adapts depending on the environment. Cuz it’s evolution, that’s how it works
This is true and is exactly what happens. You're right, and a lot of folks are wrong. Its neutral chaos. Massive evolution, as it evolves it gains intelligence. It even beats the need for oxygen, and water becit was faced with that delima.
my initial thoughts were that he was evolving so fast, like when he first stands up, it was reaction, and being defeated its as if his tail was the last part to die and it almost evolved to create humanoid monsters that could be even harder to track and destroy because its humans that have attacked him, he almost evolved again, and it would be a cool explanation of why he uses radiation energy, hes an irradiated mutant monster and evolves to whatever he learns or knows
Wait a minute... if the time skip thing is actually real, then the Yashiori strategy failed and Shin is still active. I originally thought that the tail-face opening was simply a loose fragment of Shin's falling out of place due to him being frozen from the inside out, but what you're proposing is that Shin is slowly but surely working himself up to full activity.
And given that the strategy was effectively Japan's hail mary against him, they're Uber-fucked once he starts walking, especially now that he sees humanity as a threat to his person. The fact that he's gonna have infinitely-spawning mini-Shin's tramping around with him doesn't help matters in the slightest.
if a committe defeated Godzilla, Godzilla will become a committe.
Someone said no one can kill shin because it keep evolving even when it cool down so the strategy are going to failed anyway because of that
The only way to win against Shin is not to fight it. The best thing they could've done was to lull it to sleep/wear it out by the end of the film, contain it on some spacecraft and launch it into deep orbit as fast as possible, and even then there's so many variables that could go wrong there's *no way* they could've determined that at the time.
"Everything happens for a reason. They're not going to leave this open-ended."
Except that's how Hideaki Anno writes and you kinda did what he wanted you to do by giving your interpretation of the ending.
Edit: Everytime I get notified about an old comment on videos like these I always find a thread missing my point. This isn't about criticizing Anno's writing, I'm criticizing how OP made this comment here after doing so much research on Anno for this video. So again, yes the ending is open ended, they would leave it open ended, do you see who wrote it?

@@Markzuckfuckerburg Evangelion had one of the more closed endings out there.
@@trascendentalsunset We are not shown or told directly what happens after the ending in ether anime or the movie. Manga is not by Hideaki Anno, so it doesn't count.
@@genyakozlov1316 Not knowing what happens after the ending doesn't mean that the we didn't get our closure, the end of the anime ties directly to the end of the movie and it can't get more definitive than that.

that moment when you havent seen Shin Gojira and are so confused as to why Godzilla looks like he was microwaved
Because for all intents and purposes, he has. Exposure to intense amounts of radiation basically microwaves from the inside out. Gojira's flesh looking charred and bleeding comes from documented radiation damage images. Kamata-kun's bleeding gills also references the severe bleeding experienced by victims of high-level radiation poisoning.

I’m not sure what you think “alive” means. My arm doesn’t have a face on it, but it’s definitely alive.
Also, I dealt with this “tail” back in 1994, if the camera kept panning up, you’d see Kefka floating above it, he’s grown some wings
1994?
@@volactic5240final fantasy 6, released 1994.
There are two faces, it is developing as each change happens . The skull is wrapped in the skin and slowly being exposed 14:57 the humanoid is pushing through I believe this is why the outer face was distorted and disfigured . Here's what I think. The two different creatures are developing independent of each other and much like a tadpole It's using up the over sized tail as building block for each creature. This ties to the original concept art of two Godzillas. The smaller creatures are a representation of this. Once free of the humanoid Godzilla will go through his final metamorphosis to be more in line with the traditional Godzilla The other will be something all together different. Now you have a new enemy and lets say a bad case of sibling rivalry .Food for thought. Good to see a video that's not shot in front of you bedroom closet .Your production value is getting better good job..
6 minutes into a 20 minute video about why there isn't a face on Shin Godzilla's tail, he says that it's official that there's a face on the tail. GG.
Long time no see
Michael Langfitt stylistically. There’s a face. Meaning. It’s intentionally designed to portray a face.
If you think about it there are reptiles that detach their tails as a form of self defence when their life is in danger so is it possible he severed or isolated his tail but without actually chopping it off from body as a means to stop the humans from completely filling him with those chemicals. The reason were seeing a mouth and other creatures forming slowly is because godzilla is regenerating from his unaffected tail which is actually still alive and only needs piece of his body to fully regenerate. Basically instead of regrowing a new tail the tail is regrowing a new body.
I also wonder if those humanoid growing out of the tail also function in a similar manner as a way to survive. Basically spawn little humanoid forms of godzilla who would detach and go into hiding somewhere safe till they regrow into a full size godzilla and the more he creates the more likely at least 1 will escape the threat.
Nice

Godzilla is the ultimate killing machine. He is constantly evolving to a more efficient killing machine. He was defeated by man, symbolizing man is the most destructive killing machine on the planet.
@N-word Surfer lol
@Mr Tiberius
After watching the film, I'm not too sure about that. I think the answer is less 'politics bad' and more that the nation has to be able to adapt and change to survive. Which is mirrored with Godzilla's own adaptations and changes allowing it to overcome every obstacle in its path. At the end of the film, it's not refuting politics that saves the day, it's embracing all the crazy insane ideas that they'd never originally consider because they're forced to risk massive collateral damage or lose everything.
At least, that's my take on things.
This is about the 2011 natural disasters in japan
@Mr Tiberius
Yeah, that's the rigidness of the system. And it works for covering the press, they got a conference out, kept panic down, etc. But when faced with a new crisis, they needed to adapt to deal with much different problems that wouldn't have as easy of a solution.
Nope
...what?
So... who are you debating, here? "There's not a face... there is a face... no there's a face but it's not really a face... there's a face but it wasn't always there..." You sound all over the place, you're not making any sense, and you're countering an argument no one has ever made. Why? The facts are that there is a face in the tail - which is 100% intentional - and that it does link visually with the further mutation of Godzilla at the end of the film. Is it the mouth of another Godzilla? Yeah idunno Shin Godzilla 2 kind of doesn't exist yet?
"Stylistically" is a distinction without a difference. Who cares? Why do you care so much? What is this video a response to? I don't... understand... any of this... :/
'There's not going to be THIS open of an ending."
...Anno's not doing Godzilla right now, he's back to Evangelion, even though his fans said they'd be happy to wait. The next one isn't related so far as we can tell. No announcement for either Evangelion 4.0 or Godzilla #31 is forth coming, so a prediction for a Shin Godzilla 2 is, at this time, really has no basis and is pure speculation.
"It's Goro Maki's DNA."
YES. ABSOLUTELY. 100% spot on. Godzilla is continually mutating throughout the movie and undergoes "fission" as a means to survive, but the "5th form" has non-Godzilla DNA in there and from the way they talk about Goro Maki, it's pretty clear he did SOMETHING that directly lead to Godzilla's appearance. And then these Godzilla-Human hybrids show up? In no way is that a coincidence.
Malyssa Trouble I like godzilla better why are there human hybrids now
It's clear to me from my first viewing that Maki initialised Godzilla's sudden current evolution in this film by somehow introducing himself to the creature's genetics. After remaining dormant in it's original evolutionary form for, how many decades, only NOW does all this happen.
I disagree with the video that the tail-only shot is Godzilla's first form, to me this is him already evolving. The aqua-tunnel floods with his genetic material before we even see it, and Goro's research describes the discovered mutation as a tiny, ancient thing which would then go unnoticed for decades. From the opening of the movie until the creature first making landfall, the blood in the aqua line, the vomiting of genetic material from it's gills, it is constantly evolving. For all we know Godzilla's first form is plankton or fish-like.
But then Maki does something this creature mutates, and makes a panicked dash for land. Almost like something in it's genes were telling it that land is where it belongs. It makes it to land, calms down, and attempts to stand. It fails, but it's genes are telling it it should be standing, so it's evolution kicks in again. And so on and so on. All because from the begining of the film it's genes are adapting to a land-based life-form, because Maki did something and all of a sudden this unknown creature is becoming more like him. So the final evolution in the film makes perfect sense.
Is there a mouth in the tail? Who cares, honestly. It's not important. Hideaki Anno does this stuff, and I know you say folks will be dismissive because it's him, it's also true. If you look at ANY of his earlier works, you will see that things end, suddenly, and without answers. Because Anno understands that sometimes art has more of an impact if it leaves you thinking. That is HIS stylistic choice.
ya but a half face still counts as a face.
Rizwan Fariz because of the consumption of human DNA, this godzilla can mutate, and adapt so fast, because of its ability to use the DNA of organisms that he eats! They do explain that on the movie!
"SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!
SHE'S MY SISTER!
SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!
SHE'S MY SISTER!

(blubbering)
The humanoid forms clearly makes sense with regards to how he evolves. He changes his form to achieve one to survive / defeat his biggest existential threat at the time.
Being a giant monster is clearly not working, humans have managed to hurt him and treated his existence repeatedly. So best way to combat them? Become like them.
This is my first time hearing anything about this shin godzilla movie... Is there going to be a continuation? Cause a bunch of humanoid godzillas..that sounds so good.
I don't see a face on the tail.
Action figure: oh their it is.
I'm sure that the "face" was simply Godzilla's offspring, or what it was originally supposed to be. After Godzilla realized that he was defeated by a collective, he adapted to the threat by producing a collective of his own.
how to stretch 2 sentences into a 20 minute video
a face here not yet but there's a face. Just fucking get to the point right?
,😂😂😂
its called making a clear, valid claim that's thoroughly supported with evidence... but u rite lol
That's not how you make a clear valid claim supported with evidence Anthony R. That's reiteration. D Man1954 repeated himself to extend his video to 20 minutes.
That my kind sir is a run on 😂😂
Shin Godzilla is what I call an ACTUAL monster movie, monsters are SUPPOSE to be scary, horrific, nightmare fuel, and things that makes little kids cry in fear, that’s EXACTLY what shin Godzilla is, just like the original 1954 gojira was.
So was this like a DC Doomsday version? Evolving so what hurt/killed him can’t do so again or at least is harder to do?
My God, I discovered the movie today, and that was exactly my thought ! What an endless concept !
Yes, but the problem is in Shin Godzilla's mind, it doesn't want to kill. it seems that it's in it's nature not to hurt anyone. but it's survival instincts that kicks in, killing anything that tries to kill it. you can listen to it's song where the song itself is Shin Godzilla's psyche.

Its literrally clear that toho said this movie is inspired by evangelion
Unit 03 angel tower
Here's my theory:
After Shin Gojira turn to stone everything shutdown except his evolving state so he can produce humanoid even when his body shutdown
Why would a non-human create humans? They should be lizard-like surely.
He evolves to combat what has previously hurt him/been an inconvenience. I read an article that theorized the humanoid creatures in the tail and it essentially said, “If a committee is able to overcome Godzilla, then Godzilla will become the committee.” So, essentially, if a group of humans could take down Godzilla temporarily, then Godzilla needs to become a group of humans, himself, in order to fight back. There’s also some credence to the fact that he acquired the human/humanoid DNA/humanoid evolving ability from Goro, the scientist that was studying Godzilla and who eventually killed himself by jumping into the ocean. If Godzilla encountered Goro while he was in the ocean, then he likely retained some of that human DNA/evolving ability, hence why we very briefly see the jaws in the tail right after the scene where the scientists are discussing what ended up happening to Goro Maki. I assume that it was meant to insinuate that Goro was essentially absorbed by Godzilla.
90% of this video: there is no face in the tail
What the Prof. Maki Goro left in his will in Japanese was "I DID what I wanted to do. So, YOU also do what you want to do." From view of the will, before his suicide (or not death but suspiciously DNA fusion) from a boat floating on Tokyo bay, he seemed to predict at least, a fish type sea creature (godzilla) would become a huge monster in a moment, the huge sea monster eventually would evolve to land on Japan where YOU live, the huge monster would not wander around randomly but would go straight to the center of Tokyo (The ex-fish in the sea knew about precise geography of Japan because it was almost a shortest straight line landing from Kamakura city via Musashi Kosugi (Tanks battle at Tama river) to Nagatacho, where the Diet of Japan locates which had killed the wife of Prof. Maki according to his will). Therefore, Godzilla somehow seemed to have a mind of Prof. Maki or Godzilla was controlled by Prof. Maki by fusion. (Since DNA cannot convey any knowledge or information that needs some experiences (geography, etc.) after birth in the world, it is not only DNA fusion but conveying information about anything Prof. Maki had.) Now, let's assume that Gozilla had a mind and knowledge of Prof. Maki who knew about geography, biology, DNA of godilla and its evolution. Before the coagulation of himself, he could create copies of himself and try to separate them from coagulating body. Hence, I would not be surprised if a mouth was differentiated from the tail or the skeletons (fusion of Prof. Maki and Godzilla?) were derived from the tail.
I said "Prof. Maki Goro's will" because some characters alleged so in the play. However, it might not be a will (it is not a Japanese traditional one at least) before suicide but his message just after the initiation process of fusion with a godzilla on the boat, to be exact intaking bacteria or microbe or its DNA (living in the cell membrane of the godzilla to control the conversion of atomic arraignment) with fish-type godzilla DNA in a glass tube or injection. "I DID what I wanted to do. So, YOU also do what you want to do." , which is past tense.
If the assumption that Prof. Maki Goro was a godzilla is right, the most suspicious is a research and development of the godzilla by U.S. Government. The mission of Ms. Kayoko delegated from U.S. Government was to just search for Prof. Maki Goro, especially "where he was". If he was found somewhere, then U.S. Gov. would comprehend that the huge creature was not a creature what they were investigating. But if he disappeared totally, then U.S. Gov. would comprehend that Prof. Maki had succeeded the fusion with Godzilla, the worst military biological weapon. Since he was afraid that the research and works would be utilized as a biological weapon by U.S. Gov., Prof. Maki fled to Japan with his data and tried to revenge to the Japanese Gov. for his lost wife at the same time.
So Pro. Maki use to work for the US gov. In research of the biological weapon which was Godzilla which they were studying in the sea with the nuclear waste and that he then fled to Japan only to the fuse with the creature to become the infamous Godzilla to have his revenge on Japan cause of his wife's death. They say that the past Godzilla is like a force of nature that destroys Japan like a typhoon, but here, Shin Godzilla is all about revenge of Pro. Maki's wife.
Good point. If Prof. Maki considered only about a revenge against Japanese Gov., then he would have not left the enigmatic molecular structural design of the Extremophile (microbes living in cell membranes of Godzilla) and Japanese Origami (Paper folding) which eventually hinted to solve the above design to lead to one and only resolution "Yashiori Strategy" and a poetory anthorogy "An Asura in Spring" written by Japanese Literature Mr. Kenji Miyazawa on the floating boat. As mentioned by Mr. Randou Yaguchi in the play, ”Prof. Maki probably had a grudge against Japan itself", Prof. Maki simultaneously seemed to imply a possibility of the function of transformation of elements in the cell membranes of Godzilla with the fact that he had left the design and Origami on the boat. Therefore, there are two motives; 1. Revenge against Japanese Gov., 2. Indicating indirectly the function of transformation of elements in the cell membrane of Godzilla. The psychological clue might be hinted in the "An Asura in Spring", but for me, those poems just soothed my mind and reminded of beauty of nature.
All of this is just speculation or hypothesis of how Godzilla came to be and that Pro. Maki knew that this creature will turn into Godzilla. The guy wants revenge and that somehow he knew that if he fused with the creature he turn into Godzilla and have the means to get his revenge by destroying Tokyo, Japan and that it becomes nothing but a radiated contamination zone. The irony is that his wife was killed by a radiation poisoning from the nuclear waste or from the atomic bomb(I cant remember exactly) and that he’s using the a monster that is all nuclear radiation. This almost sounds like Evangelion plot here. I know the director Hideaki Anno is the director, however the plot is that a man loses his wife and in both show and movie. Gendo Ikari and Goro Maki lost their wife, thats the only similarity that the two shows have. Im not into the show but didn’t Gendo Ikari playing with god just get his wife back? Here, in Shin Godzilla, Goro Maki has become somewhat of a god just to burn Tokyo and leave it to ruins. Hideaki Anno really has one fixation of… i can’t name it but it relates to god and viewing of the world. From what I can understand from this video is that theres going to another Shin Godzilla movie and that it will show more of the results of the tail of a new hybrid life of man and Godzilla. Im getting into this theory a little too much but it kept me thinking of whats going on with this Godzilla. I have to say that this Godzilla is very complex compare to the old ones since in the original they say that Godzilla was once a dinosaur that somehow lived on an island and survived all these years just to get hit by radiation from a bomb to turn into Godzilla while Shin is the result of a nuclear waste eating creature that somehow fuse with Goro Maki to turn into Godzilla. Hideaki Anno really turned Godzilla into a new road with new possible plot in the story.
take a shot every time dude says "face in the tail".
Im drunk
I died from too much alcohol intake

Can’t drink and drive...ran out of tequila before I got to the end of this video.
Wah.
8:47 godzilla uses atomic breath to set the whole city on fire. “This is a subtle evolution” lol what
But he means is that there's like no body changes like when kamata-kun turns into shinigawa-kun
I’ve always thought that the deal with the tail that these are the “ghosts” of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Paulette Rinck that would be eerie as hell, not to mention add some powerful imagery. But while the original was based off of the atomic bombings, Shin has more to do with the 2011 tsunami and subsequent reactor meltdown, though I guess it could still apply.
his tail is a fetus!!! I mean why else would the face not show any kind of definition until further maturity? And I know your argument for it only being half of a face makes it not a face but that is not an argument. If you took away half of my face would I still have a face? Yes! And the only reason we don't see any type of facial features in the first two stages is because they are underdeveloped and hidden beneath what is visible, like a fetus.
Phred Bishop that sounds legit
Phred Bishop
Phred Bishop
Phred Bishop no. the mouth shows up after godzilla being frozen by the coagullant (or something like that, i don't know how to spell it), not before, that's why the tail is cracked a little bit at the end, he even shows it on the video. the coagullant might kill godzilla, that's why his body is developing something to counter that. that something is the face on his tail. maybe it's a new body that will emerge from his tail that immune to the coagullant, or maybe that face can make godzilla live again by doing something like shooting breath that counter the coagullant symptons. even if you say that it's because he's matured, the godzilla before being frozen is already matured enough, so why doesn't the face developed when he's still healthy? he is frozen before the face shows up. how can something gives birth while it's own body is frozen to death? for the humanoid like godzilla, it's from the japanese guy's DNA. at least that what he's saying on the video.
It was implied something was going on with the tail earlier before being frozen in the ending when it split and fired that beam.
The creepiest part is the fact that the face in his tail when the humanoids are coming out is that it looks like a human jaw (15:54)
Christian Beaty omg yeah and its bloody
I have a theory,
if you look at 3:49, you see there's a jaw inside the face of the tail. If you look at 15:09, you see that jaw inside the tail. They are the same mouths. It's just it's detached due to the humanoid creatures.
Also,
The mouth in 15:09, for me resembles a lower jaw of Godzilla 1998. So what if, as the humanoid creatures come out, Shin Godzilla becomes something similar to Godzilla 1998?
Just a theory. Don't take this seriously.
You haven't really given evidence to prove the face in the tail so much as spent 20 minutes going over shots from the movie and saying "there is a face in the tail because the tail looks face-like."
I lost track of how many times you put up an out-of-focus shot of Godzilla from miles away and said something about there "clearly being no evidence of a face in the tail." I'm not sure how you could be so sure, considering you can't make out any details from that distance anyway...
Us: does shin Godzilla’s tail have a face in the tail
D man: well yes but actually no
Grimlock 1 well yess..but no..but yes..but no...
According to a SH toy, Shin does have a Tail Face... Or is a Face Tail?
Yes but no but yes but no but maybe but yes but no

Bobbyboy532 Sounds already more interesting than this. And I'm a Godzilla fan.
A lot of things sound more interesting when you have the brain the size of a walnut.
"There's not a face in the tail. As you can see, NO FACE. No face in the tail. Here you can see, NO face in the tail. Still no face in the tail! Showcasing in THIS scene... NO face in the tail. Here we MAY have a face in the tail, but not THIS scene...."
Jesus fucking Christ, why did I watch this whole thing?
There's no face in the tail, except when there is. Because you can clearly see in this scene there is a face, but there's no evidence of a face. Now look at this beam, it turns into a flame just like his mouth, but there's no mouth in the tail. Clearly they meant for there to be a face BUT ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE TAIL, but there's no MOUTH. In this scene you can see the tail is flat, no face. But in the face, there's a scene where you can see the tail face tail beam face face...does anyone smell burning hair?
When shin godzilla splits his mouth at 12:00 he was like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhvh
12:53 wtf are you even saying here what would half a beam even look like lmfao
Was wondering that also.
Yep. He made zero sense in this video.
I think the tail was designed to look like a face to resemble the after effects of a nuclear bomb/leakage, e .g hiroshima. If you look at photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and even Chernobyl survivors, and their children, their children often have mutations like extra teeth. I think this is what the tail is like.
Jay Penrake nice theory!
There are a lots of hidden messages in the movie. This might even be one of the hidden messages.
Shin godzilla is the events of Japan's disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis, and finally the nuke.
very possible
Yeah, I knew an Asian chick who had a tail. And it didn't have a face. But it had a face. But it wasn't a real face.
Face.
How many times did you say "Face in the tail" during this video? lol
Maru I can’t even count lol
Maru don't know
New drinking game..... =)
Rust Cohle o god why
Take a shot every time he says it
Another point i want to add was that the ending is meant to show just how close godzilla was about to evolve. Any more minutes and they couldve broke off from the tail. How close humanity's end was about to be brought.
Other people: there is face in the tail
Me: there will be a face on the tail
Also add to disprove the "mouth" during the final fight. The mouth beam has a loud high pitch sound, but the tail beam has the same sound effects as the back beams, a deeper crackling sound. If there was a "mouth" at the end of the tail then it would have had the same sound as the mouth beam
godzilla 154 true
Not really. The structure of the two faces (assuming it is a face in the tail) are different. They aren't exact clones of each other. It's not surprising that they would make two different noises. The pitch would change. It's like how if you blow into a straw with different diameters, they make different sounds...maybe...it's 5am and I never even seen this movie what am I doing...
D Man1954 Wasnt this Godzilla made by small organisms that tranformed into Shin Gojira
godzilla 154 Thats true
o
This whole video can be summarized in 1 sentence!
That is not a face, just a stylistic design.
Oh ✌
Say no more
A very gorey stylistic design
"There are not many mouths on the back of Godzilla"
...
Dude that sounds absolutely terrifying.
Hey you, before you watch this entire video, he just goes on about the tail having no face on it for 20 minutes, even though it's pretty obvious the tail is changing throughout the entire movie and it clearly has a bunch of malformed teeth and jawbones in it, so it doesn't matter at all in which scene there's a "face in the tail" since the concept here is being communicated clearly, and that is that the tail is the source of another mutation.
Ty for the warning. I went and clicked through a bit after reading your comment and seems you summed the video (and tail question) perfectly.
14:34 “everything was done for a reason” we’re literally talking about hideako anno here
I'm not a big follower of much Japanese media. Is Anno known for doing stuff just because?
@@jasonking7570 I once saw something like he called Neon Genesis Evangelion like that just bc it sounded cool but idk if its really true

This vídeo: There is a face! There is not a face! There is not a face yet! it is a face but only on the other side of the tail!!!
Not hating but god damn this comment is accurate.
Vascor He should've focused on the humanoids.
Juan Gonzalez Why did you bring me back to this video? Why?
But he isn't saying there isn't a face, he's just saying it isn't real
he mentions it's a controversial topic at the start of the video..
my tails real how dare u insolt me
Everyone: what up with shin godzillas tail?
Me: his back looks itchy 🤣🤣🤣.
A well put together vid btw. I too was wondering about a face on the tail.
The other thing to keep in mind too is that Shin originally was an ancient seas creature and as such, the tail is a vital part of the survival for said types of creatures. So, it makes sense for it to play an important role down the line for the next stage. I personally also like think that there was some sort of internal conflict inside it's body during these evolutions. The main body was suffering a lot during the process because it was being forced to evolve at a rate faster than it was supposed to in order to live on land but, that still doesn't mean there wasn't a part of it's DNA that wasn't trying to also keep it as an aquatic creature in some regard. In the end though, that clearly didn't happen as the next stage was going to be something drastically different. But still, survival is survival and the tail was going to play the part in protecting this creature as it always did. Well, that's my two-cents on the matter anyway.
I really love the design for Shin Gojira, Looks creepy and cool af
Totally.
When he first is on land he looks like s muppet
Is the red all over his body blood?
Code Red it's tomato juice
SolFunc thicc af
It was confirmed by the directors that there is a face in the tail
Oof.
I know it's old but can ya point me to the confirmation I want to know cause I didn't get shit from this video I'm more lost than anything else
@@NeomDrac I heard it in a video but I don't really remember what video it was
@@NeomDrac One of the art books i belive states it
@@NeomDrac ... There is a Half Face on the Tail. Not a Full Face. The begins of the Face's mouth fired tge Atomic Breathe beam from the tail. It continued to grow after that moment.
Inside the tail is a skull, that skull is one of those humanoids but giant, that giant humanoid will evolve to another Godzilla and it can also fire the atomic breath. That giant humanoid will go on as another Godzilla. Tell me if I’m wrong doesn’t it make sense? The tail opens up to see a mouth, but this means the tail DOESNT have a mouth the thing inside the tail has a mouth.
I literally just learned that Godzilla is also known as Gojira 😱 i didn’t even know that till my dad told me today
Gojira is his Japanese name
If there was anything good I got out of american Godzilla from 1998, it was just that.
Bruh

I need a sequel so bad. I need more!
Don't worry 😉
@@AhaanVerma Don't worry?!?
Ok Godzilla Transform in a Angel-Evangelion-Massproduction. o:
Obviously there was a face in the tail when the beam was firing. If you look at the screenshot you keep putting you can see a opening where you can see the blue sky behind it and even you say and show the face is half open and when he falls asleep you see half the bone structure. Obviously it’s not a complete face but complete enough to use the beams and it’s probably only not done because there’s a bunch of little people getting made in there too but there’s obviously a developing face
Like even the action figure backs up what I see in the screenshot you show right next to it, you see the shell covering the skull than the open jaw under, it’s a skelly face
My theory is, and I may be wrong of course, that Godzilla was beginning to mutate and create a second form of himself in a sort of asexual reproduction (why we see the two Godzillas in the concept art), but upon realizing that the humans were defeating and overpowering him, the evolution changed midway and instead of finishing this second Godzilla form to take on the humans, Godzilla decides to initially begin creating these human-like subspecies instead. So we see a partial evolution of a second Godzilla, but this evolution was halted and changed to keep up with how it would most effectively defend itself. That's just my idea, anyways.
My theory was that the face was inside the whole time. But, it was an inner layer and that the skin is just deteriorating so that it could potenetially start as a new gojira
I get PTSD when I think about Ostriches
That makes sense.
here's a drinking game. take a shot every time the narrator says "face" or "face in the tail."
Prepare to be drunk.🍺
M SF jdgfhksisvs eduf fuc
Or stylistic
Or 'nucular'.
Or just whenever he says tail
I swear if you say that his tail isn't 'alive' one more time. It's clearly alive. You mean that it's not independently sentient.
I love the part where he says "The Tail"
Dude... One word would have saved you tons of time: Vestigial.
An organ or part of the body degenerate, rudimentary, or atrophied, having become functionless in the course of evolution.
It is a face, no argument. It's just that it seems to be vestigial.

IT'S A FUCKING OPINION
This isn't an explanation as the title implies. It's simply a theory. TLDW A fan theory that has yet to be proven and really isn't worth wasting 20 minutes of your life for.
Agree. I hoped for some insights here. I got an extremely annoying butthurt angry fanboy crying on for 20 minutes... not worth it.
What you got a long ass rant from an autistic dude.
Joseph the only thing that annoys me is this guy's voice with his repetitive abysmal "that's not a mouth." "No indication there is a mouth."
Around 100 times. It's redundantly annoying.
And he repeats himself too much. We get it! It's not a mouth! It's not a face then...move on!
If only I'd read this comment before watching the video.
After seeing the ending scene in the movie, I started thinking that they should make a Shin Godzilla 2.
Too bad it was cancelled
@@Caz.Heisenberg why?
14:01 No. The "obvious difference" is that the one shot is very far away, and the other shot is literally right up on Godzilla where more detail is evident.
14:44 LOL what? They sell subtle variations in figures all the time. They didn't have to put that in there. Toy companies often get more behind the scenes stuff than the general public for reference.
Ya lost me at half a energy beam. how do ya fire half a energy beam ?
That is _not_ how energy, or energy beams, work. As long as this opening (mouth or half-mouth doesn't matter) is able to discharge a beam, it will always be a full beam - what changes is only the amount of energy the beam has.
Roninink yoooo I was stuck on that forever 😂😭
an energy beam is an energy beam, you can't have only half
+magic piss baby
Get your memes out of here, man.
There is a miner, he digs a hole, he then fills up half of that hole, what does he have left? He still has a hole, he does not have half a hole.
13:00 If the tail were a mouth, which it is, the beam would not be "half of a beam", as the beam is actually generated from his throat, not the mouth itself, the shape of the mouth would not affect the beam.
The tail is clearly a mouth due the beam behaving uniquely like the one from his main mouth and not the photons from his spines.
Exactly what I was thinking. Even if it had half a mouth formed, it would still be considereed an "atomic breath" because it is generated from the throat. and the shape of the mouth does not change the nature of the beam. It also has the same effect of the beam turning into flame before going out, instead of photons-to-nothing--the tail's beam behaves eaxctly like an Atomic Breath.
Isn't 'half a beam' just a smaller beam anyway?
+Aaron Davidson cool CZcams photo :)
I don’t think anybody says the face on the tail is alive, they just say it’s a face on the tail
9:21 did you just say nucular? And you're attempting to educate us?
This dude's obsession with Godzilla's tail creeps me out.
To me, I dont think of it as an obsession. He just wants clear the the whole "tail" argument and repeats himself to make sure people understand. Hence the vids time rate of 20mins.
@@PikaChu-zh8mu Yes but he doesn't actually "clear" anything, he just rambles on and makes a confusing 20min repetitious mess.
I forgot this video existed.
My tail creep you 😓
@Shin Godzilla 1:50 I’m your clone
I don't think it matters. The "tail face" can be vestigial
In the final scene of the movie, there is definitely a mouth in the tail. On the sculpture if you look directly into the top there is a set of human jaws with human teeth.
Putting a face on it works, Godzilla's tail always had a mind of it's own, no pun intended. It does what it wants
Half of a beam? That is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. If you block half of a beam of light, you get....a beam of light. Not half of it. That’s not how this works my friend.
I disagree with your point of the scene far away showing a balled up tail and a closer shot showing humanoids indicating that a time jump has occurred. I would say that the distance of the first shot would prevent anyone from seeing such specific details.
yeah i was going to say the same thing, also a massive portion of this video could have been cut down by just saying the tail has a vestigial face, way too much going over and over how has a face but is not alive.
Ohhh...thank God someone else is tired of him being so repetive
Oh and Yeah what you guys said are true by the way
12:53 I will say, this makes no sense. It doesn't particularly matter if the "mouth" is half covered or not covered at all, the beam will still be a full beam, it's kinda like covering half of a blowtorch, fuel is flowing out of some sort of orifice and igniting, producing a round shape, not to mention the fact that the ionizing point for the beam is basically hovering just a little bit away from the oriface.
