As Godzilla finishes off a [[Gigan|Gigan Miles]] with his atomic breath, Gigan Rex lands behind him, roaring. Gigan Rex extends its segmented forelimbs and begins whipping Godzilla. Gigan Rex opens a slit in his chest revealing an eye, and fires a powerful beam into his opponent. As Godzilla fires his atomic breath, Gigan Rex quickly dodges into the air and slashes at Godzilla with his extended Rex Blades. Godzilla grabs these, yanking Gigan Rex towards him. Gigan Rex attempts to stabilize himself with his splitting tail spike, but fails as Godzilla smashes his tail into Gigan Rex. As Godzilla blasts another atomic breath at him, Gigan Rex uses an aperture on above his eye and calls in more Gigan Miles. The Gigans' skins pull back, revealing massive chest saws, and begin to assault Godzilla with slashes and lasers. As the Gigan Miles pile on top of Godzilla, shredding at him with their buzzsaws, Godzilla begins to glow bright white, and unleashes a pulse, killing them. As Godzilla blasts the Gigan Miles out of the sky, Gigan Rex takes the cores from the remaining Gigans, and wraps its extended Rex Blades around itself, he uses the Gigan cores to power its beam, now turning from a yellow to a massive red laser. As Godzilla and Gigan Rex fire their beams, they engage in a beam lock, with Godzilla coming out on top and Gigan Rex getting killed in the explosion.
After Godzilla made quick work of the first [[Gigan|Gigan Miles]] squadron, Gigan Rex lands behind him. He roars before extending its segmented forelimbs and whipping Godzilla. After this proves mostly ineffective, Gigan Rex opens an eye hidden in his chest and fires a powerful beam into his opponent, knocking him off of his feet. As Godzilla fires his atomic breath in retaliation, Gigan Rex quickly dodges into the air and slashes at Godzilla with his extended Rex Blades. Godzilla uses this attack against this opponent as he grabs the weapons and pulls Gigan Rex closer. He attempts to stabilize himself with his tail spike, only to be interrupted as Godzilla smashes his tail into Gigan Rex at full force. Gigan Rex blocks another blast of atomic breath, calling in reinforcements using his forehead aperture. As the summoned Gigan Miles pile on top of Godzilla and attack him with their unsheathed buzzsaws, Godzilla begins to glow bright white before unleashing a newfound power and wiping them out with ease. Gigan Rex kills his remaining subordinates and takes their cores to power himself up.

Gigan Rex (ガイガンレクス,   Gaigan Rekusu) is an alien kaiju who first appeared in the 2022 3D-animated Godzilla short film Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex.

Name

Gigan's Japanese name, Gaigan, was derived from a nickname for actor Yujiro Ishihara, "nice guy" (ナイスガイ,   naisu gai), combined with the word for goose, gan (雁); both were influences on Gigan's design in his visor and body shape, respectively.[1] The name may have also been chosen as a contraction of "geiger counter," spelled in Japanese as ガイガーカウンター (gaigā kaun).[2] Rex is the Latin word for "king", also evoking the theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex.

Design

Pencil-icon.gif Please help improve this article by contributing useful information or discussing ideas on its talk page.

Gigan Rex appears largely similar to the character's design in the short film, only with a more detailed chest and with coloring alteration; his skin is red instead of green, a dark grey over some parts of his body instead of golden and magenta on his visor instead of red. It lacks the buzzsaw of its subordinates, replacing it with a giant eye hidden in its chest.

History

Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex

After Godzilla made quick work of the first Gigan Miles squadron, Gigan Rex lands behind him. He roars before extending its segmented forelimbs and whipping Godzilla. After this proves mostly ineffective, Gigan Rex opens an eye hidden in his chest and fires a powerful beam into his opponent, knocking him off of his feet. As Godzilla fires his atomic breath in retaliation, Gigan Rex quickly dodges into the air and slashes at Godzilla with his extended Rex Blades. Godzilla uses this attack against this opponent as he grabs the weapons and pulls Gigan Rex closer. He attempts to stabilize himself with his tail spike, only to be interrupted as Godzilla smashes his tail into Gigan Rex at full force. Gigan Rex blocks another blast of atomic breath, calling in reinforcements using his forehead aperture. As the summoned Gigan Miles pile on top of Godzilla and attack him with their unsheathed buzzsaws, Godzilla begins to glow bright white before unleashing a newfound power and wiping them out with ease. Gigan Rex kills his remaining subordinates and takes their cores to power himself up. Now positioned with his Rex Blades and the cores around him, Gigan Rex fires a crimson beam that collides with an especially-powerful atomic breath from Godzilla. This results in a beamburst, killing Gigan Rex while leaving Godzilla unscathed.
