Origins
The GMK Godzilla (ＧＭＫゴジラ Jī Emu Kei Gojira) is a kaiju that appeared in the 2001 Godzilla film, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.

It is the third incarnation of Godzilla to appear in the Millennium series of films and the seventh onscreen incarnation of the character overall. Unlike other interpretations of the character, this Godzilla is a supernatural entity spawned by the restless souls of those killed by the Japanese military during World War II. Godzilla sought revenge against Japan for its past crimes, and came ashore to punish the nation by obliterating its cities. To combat the beast, the prophet Hirotoshi Isayama awakened three Guardian Monsters, Baragon, Mothra and King Ghidorah, in the hopes they would defend the country. Godzilla easily defeated all three monsters, but their efforts exploited a weakness in Godzilla that the JSDF used to finally defeat him. However, even after Godzilla's body was destroyed, his heart was left behind, continuously beating on the sea floor.

The Godzilla in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack is unique among other incarnations in that, instead of being either an anti-hero or force of nature with no true malicious intent, he is completely evil and malevolent. This Godzilla seeks nothing except for the complete and utter destruction of Japan and all of its people as punishment for all of the deaths and atrocities caused by the Japanese military during World War II. This version of Godzilla actively seeks out individual humans and attempts to kill them, shown when he spots a crowd of civilians and blasts them with his atomic breath. For this reason, this is the only version of Godzilla to be truly evil.

Origins
The Godzilla in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack is a malicious entity created from a combination of the restless souls of those killed as a result of the Japanese military's actions during World War II, who comes ashore in modern-day Japan to seek vengeance against the nation. It is never specified in the film whether he is the same Godzilla that attacked Tokyo in 1954 and was seemingly killed with a chemical weapon, or another individual entirely. However, the 2012 informational book Toho Special Effects Movie Complete Works distinguishes between both Godzillas, calling the 1954 Godzilla "first generation Godzilla" and the individual featured in the film the "second Godzilla," while also mentioning that the second Godzilla is larger in size than the original.

Abilities
Atomic Breath

Godzilla uses his atomic breath against Baragon.
Godzilla's signature weapon is his powerful Atomic Breath (放射熱線 Hōsha Nessen, lit. Radioactive Heat Ray). The GMK Godzilla's atomic breath returns to the traditional bluish-hued laser of the Heisei series rather than the incendiary fiery-orange beam fired by the first two Millennium Godzillas. When charging the beam, Godzilla's dorsal fins actually stand up as they are surrounded by an intense blue glow. This Godzilla's atomic breath is extremely powerful, and is capable of producing a mushroom cloud upon impact or crippling or destroying other kaiju in a single hit. It also possesses pinpoint accuracy, demonstrated when Godzilla easily blasts numerous fighter jets out of the sky with it. The beam is also not impeded when fired underwater, shown when Godzilla uses it against King Ghidorah when they are fighting underwater.

Gravitational Atomic Breath

Godzilla fires his gravitational atomic breath to destroy King Ghidorah
Godzilla demonstrates a variation of his normal atomic breath at the end of the film, when he absorbs energy from King Ghidorah's gravity beams into his dorsal plates and combines it with his atomic breath, producing an even stronger blue beam wrapped in a yellow electrical spiral, called the Gravitational Atomic Breath (引力放射熱線 Inryoku Hōsha Nessen). This beam was powerful enough to completely destroy King Ghidorah in a single hit.
Durability
Several D-03 Missiles explode harmlessly against Godzilla's hide.
One of the GMK Godzilla's greatest assets is his extreme durability. Godzilla proves to be completely immune to all of the JSDF's weaponry, including the D-03 Missile, an armor-piercing warhead designed to penetrate solid rock, which explodes harmlessly against his armored hide. In addition, the various attacks used against him by the Guardian Monsters, while able to hurt Godzilla, are unable to penetrate his skin. Only a powerful energy ball fired by King Ghidorah and powered by Godzilla's own atomic breath is able to penetrate his skin. Godzilla's capacity for survival extended far beyond that of a natural creature, as even after the destruction of his body, Godzilla's disembodied heart was still beating continuously on the sea floor.
Physical abilities
Aside from his atomic breath, the GMK Godzilla uses other tactics to fight the Guardian Monsters. Godzilla stomps Baragon into the ground during their battle. He bites down on one of King Ghidorah's necks and draws blood, then easily knocks Mothra away with his tail when she attempts to attack him from behind. Godzilla displays impressive strength when he flips King Ghidorah over onto a building by grabbing him by one of his necks. Godzilla also grapples with King Ghidorah while underwater, at one point managing to pull one of his heads into the path of a D-03 Missile.

Weaknesses

Godzilla's atomic breath fires out of a wound on his shoulder.
Despite his near-invulnerability, Godzilla is ultimately defeated by the combined efforts of the Guardian Monsters and the JSDF. A small wound is opened on Godzilla's neck during his battle with King Ghidorah, which is exploited when Godzilla swallows the Satsuma whole, allowing Taizo Tachibana to fire a D-03 Missile at the wound from the inside. The missile actually is able to penetrate through Godzilla's skin, then explodes, opening a gaping wound in his shoulder. When Godzilla attempts to fire his atomic breath, it fires out of the wound multiple times until Godzilla falls over and sinks. While underwater, Godzilla charges his atomic breath once again, but this time the pressure built up from the previous attempts reaches a critical level and causes him to completely explode. Although his entire body was destroyed, Godzilla was not truly killed, as his disembodied heart continued to beat on the sea floor.
