Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira) is a giant monster who appears in the 2023 animated television series Chibi Godzilla Raids Again as the father of Chibi Godzilla. He resides on Monster Island.
Name
Chibi Godzilla typically addresses Godzilla as "dad" (お父さん otō-san). However, in the first episode, Chibi Godzilla called him by his English name while trying to get his attention, pronouncing it with a Japanese accent like Gajjīra (ガッジーラ). Upon first seeing Godzilla, Chibi Mechagodzilla recognized him as Daikaijū Gojira (大怪獣ゴジラ), which the English subtitles on the GODZILLA OFFICIAL by TOHO YouTube channel translate as "mighty monster, Godzilla." Daikaijū is otherwise typically translated as "giant monster."
Design
Godzilla appears similar to the Heisei Godzilla in Chibi Godzilla Raids Again's opening, though he sports a more nonspecific, cartoony design in the show itself.

Chibi Godzilla Raids Again
"Chibi Godzilla of Monster Island"
Shortly after introducing himself to newcomer Chibi Mechagodzilla on Monster Island, Chibi Godzilla spotted his father in the distance. Chibi Godzilla called out to him to no avail before confiding in Chibi Mechagodzilla that he dreamed of growing up to become a big monster so his father could hug him without crushing him.
"The Ruler of the Skies, Chibi Rodan"
Chibi Godzilla led Chibi Mechagodzilla and Chibi Mothra on a hike up a mountain in the hopes of speaking with his father, though their planned trip was derailed by the appearance of the narcissistic Chibi Rodan.
"Monster Study Session"
Chibi Godzilla taught a monster study session for the chibi kaiju of Monster Island, asking various questions such as what foe was hardest for Godzilla to defeat (with the answer being "sunlight in the summer"), or what made Godzilla want to go home ("when he bursts out of the ocean facing the wrong way").
"The Sage of Grudges, Chibi Hedorah"
While attempting to justify his hatred of humans, Chibi Hedorah revealed that when giant monsters such as Godzilla attacked, trains and planes still ran like normal instead of evacuating, which Chibi Mechagodzilla conceded to be a justifiable criticism against humanity.
"A Mighty Monster's Instinct"
While hanging out with the other chibi monsters of Monster Island, Chibi Godzilla sneezed, scorching the top of Chibi Mechagodzilla's head with atomic breath before unexpectedly roaring like his father. The others took this as a sign that Chibi Godzilla was reaching puberty and would soon grow big and strong like his father; however, these oddities later proved to be nothing more than the symptoms of a cold.
"Smartphones Are Handy"
Godzilla roamed in the background while Chibi Mechagodzilla taught Chibi Godzilla, Chibi Mothra, Chibi Rodan, and Chibi Anguirus how to use smartphones.
"Chibi Mothra's Secret Hobby"
A chalk drawing of Godzilla was present while Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Minilla talked to Chibi Mothra about her fanfiction. Chibi Godzilla later told both of them about his love of the Godzilla franchise.
"Dear Dad"
After Chibi Godzilla finished writing his last letter to his dad for Father's Day and read it aloud, Godzilla threw a huge fish to him as a way of telling Chibi Godzilla to grow strong.
"Chibi Mechagodzilla's Hidden Features"
While talking about Chibi Mechagodzilla's Absolute Zero Cannon, Chibi Godzilla mentioned that he knew about the attack because he is a massive Godzilla fan and his dad had fought Mechagodzilla before.
"Mr. Hedo's Lecture"
A chalk drawing of Godzilla was present while Chibi Hedorah taught a class.
"Mechagodzilla Shooting"
Godzilla was featured as the boss of the game Chibi Mechagodzilla had created, though wasn't beaten as Chibi Godzilla didn't want to fight him.
"Counting Godzillas"
Chibi Godzilla struggled to get to sleep so he decided to count Godzillas to try and get to sleep. On his first attempt, the Godzillas started going in the opposite direction which confused him as to what the actual number was. On his second attempt, a King Ghidorah, a Mothra, and a Rodan joined in, which led to a battle between them. On his third attempt, the Godzillas instead stacked on top of each other after he counted eight. On his fourth attempt, ingredients joined in with the counting and a "Godzilla veggie soup" was made with one of the Godzillas at the end. On his fifth attempt, a strawberry jam appeared instead of any Godzillas. On his sixth attempt, he was interrupted by a traffic volume survey as he tried to count the Godzillas - the survey counted a total of 74981 Godzillas, shocking him. On his seventh attempt, the Godzillas moved too fast for him to count and other kaiju also joined in. He vowed to stay up all night just to win, but revealed to Chibi Mechagodzilla the next day that he had been dreaming the entire time.
"Chibi Mechagodzilla Bugs Out"
Godzilla roamed in the background as Chibi Mechagodzilla and Chibi Ghidorah talked to each other about visiting Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Minilla's home that day, a first for Chibi Mechagodzilla. Godzilla was still seen in the background when Chibi Godzilla appeared to tell Chibi Mechagodzilla about his home being in the ocean, worrying Chibi Mechagodzilla. A drawing and a picture of Godzilla could also be seen in their home, as well as a DVD for Shin Godzilla.
"Godzilla King Showdown"
To celebrate Godzilla Day, Chibi Godzilla prepared a quiz on the Godzilla franchise which involved multiple questions on his father, Godzilla himself, such as what his name in kanji characters is.
"Chibi Minilla Gets Kidnapped"
While Chibi Minilla explained to Chibi Godzilla and Chibi Mechagodzilla what her hostage situation under Chibi Gigan was like, a picture book depicting Godzilla and Anguirus was briefly seen.
