00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most exciting and entertaining

00:11 Godzilla team-ups. Beware of minor spoilers ahead about these awesome alliances.

00:24 10. Godzilla and Rodan Unite Against Monster Zero – Invasion of Astro-Monster

00:31 A group of extraterrestrials known as Exilians claimed that Monster Zero was too much for

00:37 them to handle alone. Desperate for help, the aliens politely asked humanity if they

00:49 could take Godzilla and Rodan into space to take on their monster. Once the Earth agreed,

00:55 the two Kaiju were unwillingly beamed up for a wickedly cool collaboration. Godzilla admittedly

01:09 does most of the work in the first fight. However, Rodan really steps up in the second

01:14 clash against Monster Zero, by using its skills for solo attacks and timely assists. Both

01:21 clashes are full of hilariously over-the-top action and great teamwork. Although Godzilla

01:27 and Rodan never agreed to be partners, they still worked extremely well together.

01:48 9. A Morphinominal Crossover – Godzilla vs. the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

01:55 These super-powered teenagers with attitude had tons of experience using Megazords to

02:01 fight giant monsters. But they still weren't prepared to face Godzilla when they ended

02:12 up in his dimension. Initially, the Kaiju and the Rangers nearly fought to the death.

02:18 However, everything changed when the evil Rita sent in a group of her big monsters.

02:29 The resourceful team of Rangers quickly decided to make a hasty alliance with Godzilla in

02:35 order to survive. It was amazing to see the Kaiju working side by side with our childhood

02:40 icons. And as a hilarious twist, Godzilla immediately tried to exterminate the Rangers

02:47 once they defeated every other enemy. We're willing to bet that the teens were happy to

02:52 go back to fighting their own monsters after this crossover.

02:57 8. Mothra's Last-Minute Assist – Godzilla, King of the Monsters

03:04 Although Mothra is introduced fairly early on into the first MonsterVerse sequel, she

03:22 stays out of most of the fights. But when Godzilla takes on King Ghidorah for the third

03:28 time, the Queen of the Monsters suddenly swoops in to help. The duo's combined talents instantly

03:35 put the powerful Monster Zero on its back. Unfortunately, they don't get to fight side

03:40 by side long because Rodan cuts in and severely injures Mothra. The Queen ultimately decides

03:54 to lay down her life to give Godzilla the boost it needs to win. Although the King's

03:59 partnership with Mothra was short, it still left a big impact. The Queen's efforts made

04:05 Godzilla's victory – and a bunch of MonsterVerse sequels – possible.

04:12 7. Godzilla Backs a Superhero Up – Zone Fighter

04:30 Godzilla has historically had trouble getting along with aliens. However, the King of the

04:35 Monsters had an incredibly fruitful alliance with the extraterrestrial hero, Zone Fighter.

04:41 Throughout the short-lived series, Godzilla and the alien protagonist teamed up for numerous

04:46 battles. The creative fight choreography made each brawl feel fresh. And since the show

04:57 was free to use both new monsters and old Godzilla foes, we never knew what creature

05:03 might come roaring in next. It all ultimately worked because the King of Monsters and Zone

05:09 Fighter made for a tight and believable team. We'd love to get a modern reboot that gives

05:14 us more of this criminally underrated duo.

05:20 6. Godzilla Makes a Royal Alliance – Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

05:32 Shortly after a robotic alien kaiju landed on Earth, it severely wounded the King of

05:38 the Monsters. After Godzilla recharged itself with actual lightning, it returned for a rematch

05:44 against Mechagodzilla. But this time around, the heroic kaiju accepted help from the ancient

05:50 King Caesar. What made this team-up so fun to watch was the fact that the good kaijus

06:02 were completely outmatched. Every time they got an edge, Mechagodzilla whipped out a new

06:08 weapon that kept them at bay. Although victory seemed impossible, the heroic duo managed

06:14 to dig deep and hold the robot down long enough to knock off its head. Their narrow win felt

06:20 immensely satisfying because they came so close to losing it all.

06:28 5. Anguirus and Godzilla Defeat a Monstrous Duo – Godzilla vs. Gigan

06:47 If you're a kaiju that wants to rampage across Earth, you better have approval from

06:51 the King of Monsters. Gigan and Ghidorah learned that the hard way in 1972. Before the twisted

06:59 twosome could wreak havoc, Godzilla led his friend Anguirus into a tremendous battle.

07:05 The massive melee was so lengthy that it required multiple location changes and nearly 20 minutes

07:11 of total screen time. Both Godzilla and Anguirus are also pushed to their absolute breaking

07:18 points against their tremendously powerful opponents. In the end, the two heroic kaiju

07:23 turned things around by communicating and coordinating their attacks. Together, Godzilla

07:29 and Anguirus ultimately proved that raw power alone can't beat good old-fashioned teamwork.

07:38 4. Joining Up With Jet Jaguar – Godzilla vs. Megalon

07:50 An impressive robot named Jet Jaguar was prepared to take down the villainous Megalon alone.

07:57 But it got wrecked after the sinister kaiju teamed up with the vicious Gigan. Fortunately,

08:03 Godzilla came roaring in to help Jet Jaguar out. The big G was so pumped up when he arrived

08:09 that he took on the two evil creatures solo. As awesome as it was to see Godzilla go at

08:14 it alone, the battle got better when Jet Jaguar jumped back in.

08:29 The heroes easily overwhelmed their opponents with insane combo attacks. Their alliance

08:34 also led to the infamous scene where Godzilla executes an absurd flying kick. Thanks to

08:40 Jet Jaguar, we got a great team-up battle and an excellent meme.

08:49 3. Godzilla Allies With Mothra And Rodan – Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster

09:13 It was a miracle that the first official hero team-up in the long-running monster franchise

09:18 even happened. The Godzilla that appeared in 1964's Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster

09:25 did not play well with others. In fact, the king was fully prepared to kill his rival

09:30 Rodan. However, Mothra is able to convince the warring monsters that they should all

09:36 team up against Ghidorah. The three heroes initially have trouble working in sync. But

09:42 after a while, they find a natural rhythm that proves to be too much for Ghidorah to

09:48 handle.

09:56 After this triple-threat team successfully stopped Monster Zero, Godzilla kept making

10:00 new friends. We might not have so many team-ups to talk about if it wasn't for this unlikely

10:07 trio.

10:08 2. Everyone Is Here – Destroy All Monsters Anyone who says Avengers Infinity War was

10:20 the most ambitious crossover of all time has clearly never seen this kaiju mashup movie.

10:26 In Destroy All Monsters, Toho brought its most popular creatures together for a movie

10:32 where they lived in peace and harmony. Just kidding. Due to an evil plot, virtually every

10:38 kaiju on Earth is forced to work together to fight Ghidorah. Each monster gets time

10:43 to shine throughout the big battle. And although Ghidorah is grossly outnumbered, it never

10:55 backs down.

10:56 By the time this movie debuted, we were used to watching Godzilla face off against legions

11:01 of enemies at once. That's why it was such a nice change of pace to see him triumph with

11:06 the friends he made along the way.

11:44 After Godzilla beat Kong for the second time in their 2021 crossover movie, we expected

11:50 the credits to roll. But that was before Mechagodzilla burst onto the scene to challenge the king

11:56 of the monsters. Although Kong wasn't Godzilla's biggest fan, the big primate helped defeat

12:02 the metal menace. It was exhilarating to see two of the world's most famous monsters work

12:07 together.

12:19 The tense battle kept us on our toes by having both creatures come inches away from death.

12:25 And like any great team-up, Kong and Godzilla decimate their opponents with an incredible

12:31 combo. After audiences responded well to the duo, they were immediately put back together

12:36 for a direct sequel. Kong and Godzilla truly feel like a winning team.
