G-Claw
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The G-Claws (Gクロー Jī Kurō) are a pair of bladed weapons modified from Gigan's claws for Jet Jaguar. They appear in the 2024 short film Fest Godzilla 5: All Monsters Showdown.
Name
Given the G-Claws' relation to Gigan, the "G" in their name is presumably short for "Gigan."
History
Fest Godzilla 5: All Monsters Showdown
With Godzilla and Jet Jaguar outmatched by King Ghidorah, the military authorized the G-Claws for use to turn the tables in their favor. Two Ospreys flew them in and dropped them towards Jet Jaguar, who equipped them in an instant, and the battle resumed. Using the G-Claws to block King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams, Jet Jaguar closed the distance and fought the space kaiju in close quarters, delivering powerful slices which caused Ghidorah to reel back in pain. When Ghidorah tried to bite Jet Jaguar, the robot blocked the attack using one of the G-Claws, then broke free with a backflip.
Shortly after King Ghidorah temporarily defeated Jet Jaguar by blasting him through a building, he had Godzilla at his mercy as well, lifting him into the air using his Gravity Beams. Jet Jaguar got back to his feet and caught Ghidorah by surprise by firing one of the G-Claws directly into his chest, piercing it and injuring the kaiju to the point that he dropped the King of the Monsters. Together, Godzilla and Jet Jaguar formed a strategy to finally gain the upper hand against Ghidorah. As Jet Jaguar charged Ghidorah, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at the remaining G-Claw, infusing it with incredible amounts of energy. With one clean slash, Jet Jaguar removed King Ghidorah's central head, then ejected the G-Claw to grab his two remaining heads, holding the monster steady as an act of sacrifice so Godzilla could finally defeat him.
Capabilities
Durability
The G-Claws are shown to be impressively durable, able to withstand the force of King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams and Godzilla's atomic breath without any signs of damage. They also resisted Ghidorah biting down on them.
Launching
Jet Jaguar can fire the G-Claws off his arms. The G-Claw he launched at King Ghidorah pierced the monster's chest, causing him to break off his Gravity Beam attack on Godzilla.
Energy absorption
Jet Jaguar charged the remaining G-Claw on his arm by having Godzilla fire his atomic breath at the blade. In this energized state, the G-Claw glows bright blue, and appears to have improved sharpness, as it effortlessly sliced through King Ghidorah's central neck, severing it in one clean motion.

Trivia
- The G-Claws share similarities with Kong's battle axe from the Monsterverse, absorbing Godzilla's atomic breath to perform an energized attack which sliced off an enemy monster's head.
