In ''[[Godzilla vs. Megaguirus]]'', the GiraGoji's name comes from another [[kaiju]]'s name, [[Megaguirus]] {{Nihongo|メガギラス|Megagirasu}}, and ''Goji'', which comes from [[Godzilla]]'s [[Japan]]ese name, ''Gojira'' {{Nihongo|ゴジラ}}.
In ''[[Godzilla vs. Megaguirus]]'', the GiraGoji's name comes from another [[kaiju]]'s name, [[Megaguirus]] {{Nihongo|メガギラス|Megagirasu}}, and ''Goji'', which comes from [[Godzilla]]'s [[Japan]]ese name, ''Gojira'' {{Nihongo|ゴジラ}}.
==Detail==
[[Godzilla]] returned from the grave, so to speak, in ''[[Godzilla 2000: Millennium]]''. The new suits, created for the film by [[Shinichi Wakasa]] and worn by new suit actor [[Tsutomu Kitagawa]], was an all-new, very radical look for [[Godzilla]]. Somewhat reminiscent of the [[KingGoji]] suit, this suit contained many new and old features. The scales on this suit were more detailed and prominent, his dorsal plates were large and jagged with a purple tint to them, and his head shape was thinner, making him look more reptilian. [[Godzilla]]'s mouth and eyes contained the trademark "frown" present on other suits; the tongue was long and the teeth had the old fangs, and his eyes were white with black pupils, much like the eyes used on the [[84Goji]] suit. The tiny ears that existed in the [[ShodaiGoji|original Godzilla suit]] and those in the Heisei series had also returned. These suits were painted a natural, dark shade of green. They were the first Godzilla suits to be officially painted green, whereas previous suits were mostly painted charcoal-grey.


==Detail==
For the next film, ''[[Godzilla vs. Megaguirus]]'', at least two new suits were cast from the same molds used to make the MireGoji suits, one for land scenes and one for water scenes.<ref name="GXMSCW">{{cite book|title=[[Godzilla vs. Megaguirus Super Complete Works]]|date=1 January 2001|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|page=55|isbn=4091014933}}</ref> Because the MireGojis had proven "heavy and difficult to move," they were made of lighter materials, reducing the suits' weight from 70 kilograms to 50.<ref name="GXMSCW"/> Most of the MireGoji design's colors were brightened, from its skin to its mouth, and streaks were added to its teeth.<ref name="GXMSCW"/> It also had a smaller mouth, flatter face, and longer neck, likely due to mold degradation. These suits are also called the '''GiraGoji''' {{Nihongo|ギラゴジ}}.<ref>[[File:all_godzilla6.jpg|200px]]</ref>

The tiny ears that existed in the [[ShodaiGoji|original Godzilla suit]] and those in the Heisei series had also returned. This suit was painted a natural, dark shade of green. It was the first Godzilla suit to be officially painted green, where as previous suits were mostly painted charcoal black, except the ones in the original film.


For the next film, ''[[Godzilla vs. Megaguirus]]'', very few changes were made to this suit design. It now had a smaller mouth, flatter face, longer neck, the skin color was changed to an even lighter shade of green, and the color of the dorsal plates was changed to more of a light purple color. Otherwise, it's the same suit. This suit is also called the '''GiraGoji''' {{Nihongo|ギラゴジ}}.

This article has been marked for deletion.
Reason: Plans to merge Godzilla design pages with Godzilla incarnation pages are underway. For more information, see the forum topic.
This article covers the Godzilla design from Godzilla 2000: Millennium and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus. For the Godzilla incarnations, see Godzilla (Godzilla 2000: Millennium) and Godzilla (Godzilla vs. Megaguirus).

The MireGoji (ミレゴジ) is the Godzilla suit design used in the 1999 and 2000 Godzilla films Godzilla 2000: Millennium and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus.

Name

In Godzilla 2000: Millennium, the MireGoji's name comes from the film's Japanese title, specifically mireniamu (ミレニアム), meaning millennium, and Goji, which comes from Godzilla's Japanese name, Gojira (ゴジラ).

In Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, the GiraGoji's name comes from another kaiju's name, Megaguirus (メガギラス,   Megagirasu), and Goji, which comes from Godzilla's Japanese name, Gojira (ゴジラ).

Detail

Godzilla returned from the grave, so to speak, in Godzilla 2000: Millennium. The new suits, created for the film by Shinichi Wakasa and worn by new suit actor Tsutomu Kitagawa, was an all-new, very radical look for Godzilla. Somewhat reminiscent of the KingGoji suit, this suit contained many new and old features. The scales on this suit were more detailed and prominent, his dorsal plates were large and jagged with a purple tint to them, and his head shape was thinner, making him look more reptilian. Godzilla's mouth and eyes contained the trademark "frown" present on other suits; the tongue was long and the teeth had the old fangs, and his eyes were white with black pupils, much like the eyes used on the 84Goji suit. The tiny ears that existed in the original Godzilla suit and those in the Heisei series had also returned. These suits were painted a natural, dark shade of green. They were the first Godzilla suits to be officially painted green, whereas previous suits were mostly painted charcoal-grey.

For the next film, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, at least two new suits were cast from the same molds used to make the MireGoji suits, one for land scenes and one for water scenes.[1] Because the MireGojis had proven "heavy and difficult to move," they were made of lighter materials, reducing the suits' weight from 70 kilograms to 50.[1] Most of the MireGoji design's colors were brightened, from its skin to its mouth, and streaks were added to its teeth.[1] It also had a smaller mouth, flatter face, and longer neck, likely due to mold degradation. These suits are also called the GiraGoji (ギラゴジ).[2]
