Why do Titans cut each other's heads off? | Kaiju Executions EXPLAINED 

Don't forget to subscribe and to join our memberships to see the next faceoff early!

I think the decapitating of the head particularly as we seen from both Godzilla and Kong is a sign of showing dominance and in some cases of ego showing superiority.

Pertaining to the unnecessary treatment of Ghidorah's final head, after Godzilla had incinerated his body and other heads, it may have actually been necessary, the reason for this could be that due to Ghidorah's regenerative properties, which Godzilla may or may not have been aware of, he could theoretically regenerate his lost body from his neck stump beneath his head and Godzilla did not want to allow that possibility to become a reality. It may seem ridiculous, but Ghidorah has at least been hinted to be an alien creature and if that is the case, his biology, being potentially different from the organisms on earth, may allow him to perform such a feat. Also the head in Godzilla's jaws (final head) was still very much alive, which alone could have prompted Godzilla to completely obliterate it. Its very possible that there may be more decapitations in the future of the monsterverse.

Goji Center clapping back with Ghidorah’s head was pure gold 🤣☠️

Fun fact- tug-marks and feeding-bites show that the Tyrannosaurus also had a habit of ripping off heads! Though this was specifically to get at the tasty meat behind the head of a Triceratops or other large ceratopsian- horned dinosaurs needed a lot of muscle and powerful jaws to hold up and fuel the growth of their massive heads, so a post-mortem head removal would make it easy to get at an apparently-prized snack of jaw muscles and neck meat when the tyrannosaur's kill was running low on easier meat.

You’re models have become a lot more detailed and the animation too, it just keeps improving every episode!

I always figured it was a way to save energy and make sure the enemy stayed down. Cause a lot of Titans are ridiculously durable but unlike Ghidorah most can't just shrug off head loss.

Decapitation may also be one of the more reliable ways of putting down a Kaiju, in most versions, Kaiju can recover from gruesome a devastating wounds and take enormous amounts of punishment. Decapitation may be one of the only ways to know for certain that a rival is dead, and when asserting authority, it's not just a trophy or way to humiliate the victim, but also a way to show to other Kaiju that the challenger is dead and not gonna make a come back.

I think decapitation is the choice for killing because it's probably the most efficient way to kill an organism that's already incredibly resistant to most attacks.

The Legendary Titans have human level intelligence. They don't think like us, but they think on a similar level. The fact that Kong can speak in ASL is a huge give away. Godzilla repeatedly making moral decisions, and Mothra outright refusing to kill humans lends further credence to the idea that they're more than just animals.

Most animals, including humans, still can fight without limbs. Some reptiles can even regenerate their limbs even when severed, so taking off the head is the easiest way of a sure fatality. Ghidora’s head was taken off because that was the main head that controlled the other two on its body so it couldn’t regenerate like the other head did when Godzilla first chewed off the head in the first battle between the two.

This was a very fun video, and I thank the whole team for taking the time to create it. I do believe that we're going to see more head injuries in the next movie and probably some decapitations, but personally I think it would be interesting to see the main antagonist be killed by something other then a decapitation. On another note, I know I've mentioned this in at least a couple comments in the past, but one other reason for Titans decapitating their enemies could be sustenance. Granted we only saw this with Kong after he killed the Warbat, but brains would be a nutrient-rich source of food for Titans in need of a meal. In humans at least, around 20% of our nutrition is concentrated in the brain because of how vital it is to keeping us functioning. I'm not sure if this would be a main reason for removing the head or just an additional benefit, but it's something that I feel should be mentioned at least once.

Since we know that King’s used prices of Goji’s to build things like the axe, imagine the the Kongs learning Decaptition from the Iwi and wearing the heads of titans they defeat.

5:17 It's not unnecessary. Probably the only way to truly defeat him. Remember, Ghidorah can regenerate, so making sure nothing remained is the best way of doing so. Unsure if one head can regenerate an entire body, but it could take time but that time can end up becoming another fight in the future. Not to mention that Godzilla had a rivalry with Ghidorah. He kind of deserved it when you know what he did. Basically took Godzilla's title as king, almost destroyed the planet if Godzilla didn't interfere, Killed Mothra (yes I know she can reincarnate but still), and basically hurt him in the process. From making him fall over 50 feet in the air, to getting bodied and pulled, and thrown, Ghidorah's execution was brutal and you may call it unnecessary, but to Godzilla, he deserved it. 6:01 It's completely natural for King Kong to use a head like a trophy. Gorillas are very territorial and very aggressive, and knowing about that Godzilla like skull where the throne room is down in Hollow Earth, it'll make sense that Kong inherited that trait. Be in mind that Godzilla and Kong were at war with their own kind. So setting example for decapitating heads as trophies is reasonable to do.

Bros voice cracked 0:01

I always thought it was more of an intimidation tactic. Because of how brutal some of these fights can be, the Titans wear themselves out. Godzilla had to catch his breath after killing the first muto and then took a nap after the second, and kong even after getting a little jolt had to sit down and rest after killing mechagodzilla. So to allow themselves some rest maybe through some form of evolution, they developed this violent form of killing a creature to ward off any other titans from challenging them if they saw either the act of or the result.

The intro is GOLD! From the voice crack, godzilla beating ghidorahs skull against the screen and everything 😆

Another awesome video Goji, can’t wait for the next face-off

This video just reminds me how much I'd like a kaiju fighting game in the style of Mortal Kombat. The fatalities would be glorious.

Or it could be that all Kaiju have demonstrated the ability to take huge amounts of damage and rapidly heal. Like Rhodan looking just fine shortly after being impaled by Mothra.

I wish Kong had one of Ghidorah's head to slam towards the camera like Godzilla in that hilarious intro.

i love how creative the intro was, it made it clear what the topic of the video and its very interesting to watch, keep it up!

Of course, they always aim for the head, unlike Thor in IW. 😏 Edit: Guys, calm down. It's just a meme, y'all. Don't take it so seriously, man. 😩 Edit 2: 1K! Mom, I'm so famous!!

You hit 1 mill AND I DIDINT KNOW? GOOD JOB

Hey GojiCenter, I've just had a thought. Have you ever looked into making videos about the monster hunter franchise? It's got a lot of really cool monsters in it that would fit right in with the regular content here. Its got everything from dinosaurs, dragons and even kaiju in the series that I think would be awesome if they were covered in the really fancy editing style going on with your videos.

Kong torn off Mechagodzilla's head because he wanted it as a trophy to show off to the other titans. The Scar King is gonna be jealous when Kong meets him he gonna be like "I Did better". Kong gonna say "You killed something that almost killed Godzilla? Last time I checked you failed". Scar King says "I ENSLAVED A CRYSTAL MONSTER". Kong like "That's not fighting that's just mean." Scar King gonna be like "I fought armies". Kong says "and you still lost". "Eh, you know what I'm out of here" As the Scar King Storms Off.

I’ll start to wonder is head removing is at or near an end if we don’t see any of that in Monarch !!

Scarking and shimu seeing this. Ahhh fu- we are probably next,also very good video,one of my favs

This video brings joy to my heart knowing people still love godzilla ✨LONG LIVE THE KING✨🦖

Great video! I was just wondering about MechaGodzilla from GVK: So you know how you talked about MechaGs secret weapons? Jaw Grinders, Buzz Saws, Flight, Orca, Chest Missiles, and Drones? Well, I was wondering if there were anymore you didn’t talk about or know about at the time. Personally, I would love it if MechaG could shoot the hollow earth energy he used for his punch, kick, and knee could shoot out of his hands, and swords, among other things. They would be so cool! And if there is none, maybe you can talk about what MechaG could’ve been if they kept it in development/concept arts. Thanks!

Because they are smarter than Thor

Congrats on hitting 1 million 🎉🎉🎉

The start of the video got me rolling on the floor 😂💀

How do people not like gore in these kind of videos? Its one of the best parts.

If Kiju are basically immortal, cutting off the head is a sure way to make sure that a kaiju won't come back out of it's hibernation, gestation or rebirth.

Still voting in for Godzilla '98 Animated Series for Ways to Die "Mutation Madness/Mayhem"

cant wait for the next monarch legacy of of monsters explained

4:38 I have a personal head cannon that Godzilla wasn’t intentionally slamming ghidorah’s head but instead ghidorah was fighting back and Godzilla was reacting in response

They are smart enough to avoid Thor's mistake.

I think we might see them continue, but given that the Scar King is a human like Titan I don't think he's going to have it happen to him, since they want to keep the film in the PG-13 rating range

I want to express the fact, that over the videos of yours I have recently seen, your narration is one thing that keeps me coming back. Keep up the great work.

I have a few theories: Number 1. It is possible that a neck kill stops some titans regenerating if there are any in the monster verse. Number 2. is that the titans do this to show their dominance and power. Number 3. Some smart species like the Kongs could have kept the skull’s as trophies such as in the kong palace in GvK. And finally number 4. It looks cool for the camera.

Bayverse Optimus Prime finds everything in this video perfectly fine and 100% justified and reasonable.

Possible 4th reason: titans are extremely durable, regenerative, and can have wildly different biology from specimen to specimen. An injury that might seem fatal to one creature may be shakin off easily by another. Maybe the titans who have survived to the modern day have adapted to decapitating their opponent as to assure them that their enemy is truly, fully dead. And a titan that can survive being decapitated...well that's one to watch out for.

“Titans cut each other’s heads off” Kong: “I pulled a Skullcrawler’s tongue out!”

I think what happened to the kong specimen in the lair that tiamat likely killed is that tiamat could've eaten the kongs body and kept the skull as a throphy.

I think they do it as a display of strength and superiority

I think they do it as a dominance thing and as a war trophy thing, the kaiju seem to have a natural urge to be the most dominant one and to fight for superiority

Fun fact. Khan Krum ruler of the first Bulgarian Empire defeated Nikephoros I the emperor of the Byzantine Empire and decapitated him. But it doesn't end there. He also turned Nikephoros' skull into a silver plated cup to drink from. That's how Krum got his nickname ,,the Fearsome".

the animations are getting better keep it up goji center

Am so proud of you goji Centeri that you hit 1 milion subscribes

Great video. Can you make a video on how many different Godzilla species there might be?

Goji center plz introduce the monster from the original movie to Skull island or have him Face Godzilla Thank you soo much! love the videos

I think harpy eagles do decapitate the prey before feeding it to the chicks.

“A few people in the COment section-“ That voice crack

You guys should do videos on the monster hunter series! They have the best fictional creature designs ranging from realistic and plausible wyverns to epic elder dragons with kaiju proportions! It is one of my favorite video game series and i would love if you covered it!

Finally the legend has reached a million subscribers! Love ur vids

Can’t wait for upcoming face off videos !

Yay! Goji center used my Ghidorah model!! But yeah, I did make that model and a friend helped me with it.

I’m also thinking about buying some merch either soon or next year after the holidays

The human part makes sense. Since Mark found out that Emma was using humans to make the orca’s signature and we’ve seen that the titans display human intelligence and emotions. Godzilla showed sadness when mothra died and fear when Mecha G was about to finish him off. Ghidorah showed curiosity, anger, annoyance, and aggression. Rodan showed amusement when the fighter jets started to back off before he used his barrel roll. Another thing is that Rick understood that Emma used humans because we’re ruthless, viscous, carnivores (this may be different but this is what I remember) which does fit with some of the titan’s behavior.

Another example of human brutality that relates to the Kaiju in the monsterverse: Kahn Krum, one of Bulgarias greatest rulers, decapitated the Vizantian ruler Nikifor and made a cup out of his skull.

Very interesting theory. Never knew that humans used decapitated heads as trophies.

The female MUTO, Ghidorah’s left head, the Warbat, and MechaGodzilla.

“Give me your face.” -Titans (and totally not a truck robot)

Ghidora also was shown to almost do this to Godzilla as Mechagodzilla. So I can totally agree that the beheadings are done by alpha titans to show dominance.

My day is starting off good just had breakfast drank a soda and watched Goji center’s newest video.

THATS STUPID HOW CAN PEOPLE NOT LIKE KETCHUP

Oh my God, the way you said "GoRe faCtOr" at the beginning 😂

Taking account that titans have existed longer than humans, I think that humans might’ve learned to decapitate heads from the titans (this is obviously in the monsterverse if humans had the same timeline IRL) but the thing is that humans because of their intelligence and able to observe and take notes and stuff and because they had symbiosis with titans would’ve learned to and how to decapitate heads.

I have a feeling seeing that most Kaiju get decapitated by alphas, Scar King may get in the fun of decapitating heads, or he's probably done so already

Considering we see Scar King sitting on his throne looking over the skulls of a clearly decapitated Godzilla and Kong specimens in the trailer for Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, I think it’s pretty safe to say that decapitations are a running theme in this series that is not going away any time soon.

I guess all I can say is that when in a Titan invasion, always...ALWAYS...keep your heads on a swivel. BTW, love that Skullcrawler hint at the end tho.

Love this episode, been here since your Godzilla vs Kong battle analysis vid

Removing head is a show of dominance but also as a way to ensure that their opponent or prey doesn't come back for a revenge round.

Godzilla and Kong would do that handshake meme with the caption “Always rip your enemies head off”

Heads are to Kaiju what arms are to Yautja(predators) . Awesome intro animation with Goji 😂 I love to see more like those . Its funny seeing Goji kinda doing a fourth wall break

The opening was priceless man. That was very fun😂

Amazing video! And just a quick question, could yall maybe do a video on Titanus Shimu since he’ll be in GxK. And I’m pretty sure he is the first ever titan.

I just realized there could be more scarkings because in Godzilla king of the monsters we see a kyju that kinda looks like him bowing down to Godzilla with all the other kyjus. So there could be more

Damn, it's almost like that kills 99% of animals instantly.

I am sorry but Godzilla angrily slamming the camera with Kevin’s Head at the beginning was just hilarious it made me laugh but I wouldn’t dare accuse anyone especially the Kaiju King of all people for doing something that is directly coded in their nature besides Godzilla is not the only one who has decapitated heads kong does it too!

That voice Crack in the beginning made my day😂

Awesome video!!! Also I have a request, can you showcase us on how Ultimasaurus Imperatrix would survive the Monsterverse Skull Island plz?

My man, you were 1 second into the recording with that voice Crack bruh😂😂😂 you could have started over so easily🤣🤣

Congratulations on 1M subs!

This is simply an awesome way to finish a battle 🔥

Congratulations 🥳 so much on 1 million subscribers

MAN I LOVE GOJI CENTER THEY ARE AWESOME

YOOOOOOO, GOJIRA IS NOW A SUPER SAIYAN ROSEE AND HE LOOKS WAY MORE BADASS. IT REMINDS ME OF GODZILLA 2000

Also notice how Godzilla has an unusually thick skull which explains in part how his species became more likely to be an alpha as it makes decapitation harder

I like to think that they each contain a remnant of Maximilien Robespierre.

A subscriber's idea: Horrible ways to die in "Dinosaur King"

I just did a science exam and now I know that I was right, thx goji center

The gore factor is one of the reasons I like this channel

I think you should make a video about the Jurassic world trodon and it nesting behaviour

0:09 *That slap was personal* 💀☠️💀

The best beheading is still Godzilla’s kiss of death in 2014. That was iconic.

0:00-0:15 ahh this Is a funny scene. This channel should have more starts like this funny one😂😂😂😂

You made my neck twitch, to many types. Also amazing video.
