King Ghidorah's roar gets Godzilla fans comparing notes
TOHO's fast-starting Godzilla Minus Zero teaser has viewers listening for familiar monster sounds, alongside a separate look at how they were created.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 110,117 views a day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (10,161).
King Ghidorah rises. #GodzillaMinusZero
GODZILLA OFFICIAL by TOHO saves the full monster reveal until near the end: storm clouds gather, a pilot looks out in terror, and a vast wing passes over a devastated landscape. Then King Ghidorah raises its heads and screeches.
That sound is giving viewers plenty to discuss. In the comments on "King Ghidorah rises. #GodzillaMinusZero," several listeners hear echoes of earlier versions of the monster, from the older Japanese films to Legendary's Monsterverse. Others single out the musical theme, recalling its impact in the theater. Those are viewers' interpretations of the soundtrack, but they make this comment section unusually specific: people are comparing what they heard, not just what they saw.
The Short drew roughly 72,000 views in eleven hours, a much faster start than the channel's usual Shorts. Its comments have already climbed well beyond the usual full-day total, too.
The teaser is a promotional clip for Godzilla Minus Zero, which its closing card announces is playing in theaters. An older man delivers the subtitled instruction to fight fire with fire before Ghidorah's reveal, setting destruction against the suggestion of a response.
For anyone more interested in the screech than the explosions, the channel also posted "Natsuko Inoue on creating the sounds of Ghidorah #GodzillaMinusZero" on the same day, putting the sound-making itself in the spotlight.

I'm glad the original roars are back
@JojoValenz-b8lSee it on YouTubeAbsolutely love how all of his previous roars and noises are incorporated into this one’s vocalisations, I think I even heard a bit of Monsterverse Ghidorah in one of the roars

That scene staring down the barrel of all three beams was one of the most electric scenes I have ever seen on IMAX, the depth of field changes as the lightning crackled by, the sound, the rumble of the seats; every single hair on my body was standing
