They both have very valid and understandable arguments (although admittedly, Katagiri loses points for not-so-subtly trying to bump off Shinoda during the skyscraper sequence), and Godzilla simultaneously displays attributes of both a destroyer ''and'' a guardian in the film proper. He's most certainly a recurring menace to Japan, but he's also the one thing that ends up saving the Earth, and humanity by extension, from the Millennian invasion.
