There are various matters regarding the Toho and IDW Publishing comic book series Godzilla in Hell that are completely ambiguous, prone to many potential interpretations that may or may not be relevant for publication here on Wikizilla. So below here are the details and intricacies behind the lore of the series that remain factual regardless of what has been debated or argued.

Principles

• Godzilla is the protagonist of the comic series, thus is pivotal to understanding what is depicted in Godzilla in Hell.
• "Godzilla in Hell" is the name of the series for a reason. It is self-explanatory.
• Godzilla perishes prior to the depicted events.
• Godzilla resurrects himself during the final events (panels) of the sequence.
• Godzilla is determined to live, not thrive in the afterlife.
• Godzilla is completely uninterested in being worshipped, let alone praised.
• Godzilla is not all-powerful. His achievements come at a cost no matter what. Nothing is without effort.
• Godzilla does not qualify as an authentic evil in spite of appearing in hell.
• Each issue presents Godzilla with a different challenge, giving him multiple enemies that all represent one concept/idea that had lead to Godzilla’s arrival in hell.
• Godzilla does NOT enjoy continuously fighting in spite of his tendency to make enemies.
• The narration/dialogue of the comic series is not to be taken LITERALLY WORD-FOR-WORD. It is intended to be symbolic and metaphorical. Real-life culture references are consistently made to represent in-universe details of the comic series’ lore.
• The development of the comic series is generally based on Abrahamic religions. There is however a Buddhist quote towards the end of the final issue.
• Many of Godzilla’s enemies in the series are beings that he has already fought prior to his on-panel interactions with them in the issues.
• The characters that Godzilla faces in the series that are completely original are embodiments of concepts/figures that already exist in real-life record/media. For this case, Religion is to be researched to better understand both the comic series’ development and its in-universe canon lore.
• King Ghidorah appears in more than one issue, heavily emphasizing his history with Godzilla as the latter’s reputed arch-nemesis.
• Godzilla is deceived by both of his enemies in issue #1: The Nuclear reactor demon and the Doppelganger demon. In both cases, the situation revolved around physical consumption. Godzilla’s role is however reversed between the two scenarios.
• King Ghidorah and Destoroyah are explicitly described as "Devilish" in issue #4, directly referring to their nature both as characters and as symbols, especially when regarding their antagonization towards Godzilla.
• Godzilla faces two mountain-like beings meant to symbolize as two absolutes or all-existential concepts. To be precise: God-Mountain and God-demon.
• Issue #2 establishes that King Ghidorah played a vital role in Godzilla’s arrival in hell. Despite such, Godzilla swam away instead of engaging Ghidorah a second time.
• During their fight in issue #4, King Ghidorah attempted to kill Godzilla by dropping him from a height onto a pointed tower, but it failed to do so. Issue #1 begins with Godzilla falling from an immense height before crashing down in Hell.
• In issue #3, the sapient demons that Godzilla encounters chant "Enter its throat. Become one with Hell."
• After destroying a structure that read "Abandon all hope ye who enter here", the cloud of dust that formed behind Godzilla read "Lust".
• Godzilla approached the Nuclear reactor demon due to it posing as a nuclear reactor.
• Godzilla approached the Doppelganger demon due to it mimicking his appearance immensely.
• Despite opposing 3 beings that qualify as authentic evils given their appearances in Hell, Godzilla does not want to be in Heaven.
• Godzilla closed off the portal created by God-Mountain.
• Godzilla obliterated the God-demon.
• Godzilla vanished out of Hell after reaching the peak of the mountain that the God-demon guarded.
• Godzilla displayed visible frustration or annoyance upon seeing the God-demon.
• Godzilla sees a Christian cross twice in issue #3. The first one was telekinetically destroyed by SpaceGodzilla. The other was built by angels from Heaven while they aided Godzilla in hell.
• When sacrificing himself to the Hellbats, Godzilla stretched his arms out in a crucification pose.
• After reaching the peak of the mountain where the God-demon sat, Godzilla disappears from hell completely.
• God-mountain displayed clear shock when Godzilla rejected it the second time in hell.
• The God-demon displayed visible shock in its eyes at the sight of Godzilla reforming himself via the Hellbats.
