It doesn't happen often, but Godzilla has lost to the humans more than once in his movies. In fact, they've managed to defeat him seven times.
It’s a rare occurrence, but there have been situations in the Godzilla franchise where the humans actually got the best of the kaiju. Typically, Godzilla is regarded as a force so powerful that the human characters in the movies have little hope of stopping his rampages. For that reason, it’s usually his fellow monsters – and not the military – who provide the biggest challenges to the pop culture icon.
Sacrificing himself to ensure that no one else ever recreated the technology behind it, Dr. Serizawa secured the humans’ victory over Godzilla by activating it in the ocean. The blast destroyed all the oxygen in the immediate area, causing Godzilla’s entire body – his bones included – to dissolve. This moment on its own cemented the Oxygen Destroyer’s place in the Godzilla mythos, as it now lives on in notoriety as the only manmade weapon to kill the King of the Monsters.
5 Return of Godzilla After years of utilizing Godzilla as an ally to the humans, Toho went back to the formula of the first two movies when it pressed the reset button on the franchise in 1984. Titled Return of Godzilla, the first installment in the Heisei era once again made fighting humans the focus of Godzilla’s story. Given the timeframe of the film, the military was much better equipped technologically in Return of Godzilla, yet still found themselves outmatched.
