Quick Glance: Godzilla's Pink Transformation and the Inspiration from Dragon Ball Z
- Godzilla's neon green transformation in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was inspired by Goku's early power-up in Dragon Ball Z, as revealed by lead character designer Jared Krichevsky.
- Kaio-Ken, a unique technique acting as a power and speed multiplier, sets itself apart from Goku's various Super Saiyan color palette transformations by providing him with a short burst of power and a significant side effect.
- Contrary to Goku learning Kaio-Ken from King Kai, Godzilla acquired his pink form through absorbing the DNA of another kaiju named Tiamat. Despite different power-up circumstances, Krichevsky confirmed that Godzilla's pink form, like Goku's Kaio-Ken, is temporary.
- Before Krichevsky's AMA, fans humorously theorized about Godzilla's new pink form as the logical conclusion of Barbenheimers' atomic pink aesthetic.
