![]() It was constructed by the Japan Self-Defense Force at the behest of the United Nations to combat a second Godzilla that had surfaced in 1999. Unlike previous incarnations of the character, which were complete robotic in nature, Kiryu is a bio-mechanoid automaton. However, he is shown to be more empathetic to Godzilla, breaking out of his control and flying Godzilla to the bottom of the sea, sparing him and allowing Kiryu to rest in piece. In 2004, Kiryu is still the same in terms of personality, even with his new pilot. By the end, it is shown that he has grown a connection to Akane. Kiryu is also shown to be quite a brutal fighter, fighting Godzilla no matter what. It is only once in the final battle that Kiryu starts connecting with Akane, finding new purpose. However, as the story progresses, like Akane, Kiryu is implied to believe that he is not worth living for. ![]() Originally, Kiryu acts exactly like Godzilla, destroying everything in his path with malicious intent. There are instances where its roar sounds similar to the Heisei Mechagodzilla.ĭue to Kiryu having the original Godzilla's bones inside of him, Kiryu shares the kaiju's personality. The presence of Godzilla's roar in Mechagodzilla's roar varies, but is generally noticeable anytime it occurs. Mechagodzilla's roar during the Millennium series is a more mechanical sound, which is also mixed with Godzilla's guttural roar. Mechagodzilla was portrayed through the means of suitmation, much akin to its predecessors. After the suit is damaged in the battle with Godzilla, its right eye is removed, exposing more metal and wiring underneath. The suit's rocket launcher's and railguns are the same color as the suit instead of being blue. The rest of the suit is mostly identical, although the exposed wires are a lighter shade of black, and there are many ridges and patterns present on the suit that were not present on the previous one. The suit's chest is composed of three plates like the previous suit, however each one has a ridge on it, and the left chest plate has "MFS-3" written on it. This mecha's eyes are slightly smaller, and are further apart. This suit is overall thinner and more streamlined than the previous suit, and features a smaller head and shorter neck. First of all, this suit is painted a darker gray color than the previous suit. The TokyoMekagoji is nearly identical to its predecessor, the MireMekagoji, but has some differences upon closer examination. When the suit is used to portray Super Weapons Kiryu, two blue rocket launchers are attached to its shoulders, while blue railguns are attached to its wrists. The suit's chest features three rounded plates that come together to cover the Absolute Zero Cannon housed underneath. ![]() A red scar extends underneath both eyes, and it will often glow when Kiryu roars. They are usually yellow in color, but will turn red when Kiryu is possessed by the first Godzilla's spirit. The eyes are large and relatively close together. The head has a long metal spike extending from the top of its forehead upward towards the back of its head. The MireMekagoji is light silver in color, with various areas on its body explosing thick black wires underneath. This Mechagodzilla redesign is radically different from previous versions, and bears a closer resemblance to Godzilla himself. Kiryu's legal name is simply "Mechagodzilla," while his official designation in the films is "MFS-3," which is short for "Multipurpose Fighting System Type-3." ![]() Kiryu's nickname is derived from 機龍 ?, Ki ryū, meaning machine dragon. 8.2 Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee.
