Legendary Godzilla fans: Mothra and Goji love each other they would never hurt each other
Toho Godzilla fans: *gestures at*
That time we found out Goji blood is yellow as Mothra and her brother- Battra- lifted him in the air to drop him in the ocean. This is, of course, immediately before Godzilla kills her brother.
The iconic. The flawless. The always a win: Mothra tail drag. In OG Gojilore: Mothra’s never seen a tail she isn’t gonna bite or grab lmao. This is also the movie where Godzilla killed her mother.
And who could forget that time Goji got possessed by the spirits of everyone who died in the Pacific Theater of WW2 and everyone had to team up to put him down like Old Yeller.
They fight guys, it’s okay. Mothra is a defender of peace and the balance of nature; Godzilla is a force of nature summoned to bring vengeance down on humanity because of the havoc caused by industrialization, nationalism, and nuclear power. They’re often on the same side as a result, but there’s definitely times when Goji’s drive for vengeance upsets the balance of nature and Mothra has to fight to rein him in.
For some reason, there's a rumor going around online that the suit from Godzilla (1984) was stolen and to this day, nobody knows what happened to it. I don't know how this started or where it came from, but it's wholly untrue.
Firstly, there were two Godzilla suits made for the film. One for the main shooting, the other for "stunts" and water scenes and such. One of these suits was taken by Teruyoshi Nakano to North Korea and transformed into Pulgasari for Kenpachiro Satsuma to act in again.

The other suit was at some point sent to America to do a publicity tour for the release of Godzilla 1985. Svengoolie (then, "Son of Svengoolie") even did a show back then with the suit on hand!

After that was over, the suit was sent back to Toho where it was used in several commercials. Since nobody's ever mentioned it, I presume Pulgasari was left over in North Korea where it eventually rotted away.
The only Godzilla suit ever actually stolen was the 1989 Biogoji, refurbished and used again in 1991. It was somehow swiped in mid-1992 just before shooting of Godzilla vs. Mothra began. Koichi Kawakita fully intended to use the Bio/Gidogoji suit yet again for the entire movie, even with its aging, floppy plates. But when it was stolen, he was forced to have a new suit made. The effects staff were relieved when the suit was stolen because there was some kind of problem with it and they didn't want to deal with it anymore. The suit was eventually discovered discarded in a ditch, probably because the damn thing was just so unwieldy (keep in mind, the lightest Godzilla suit for shooting ever made was still like 100 pounds). Kawakita ordered it repaired and it was used as like a stunt suit in vs. Mothra, which would be the final onscreen appearance for it.
