Imagine a flea dragging a Red Bull to you in your hour of need

My headcanon is that Godzilla used that Atomic Breath to send Serizawa's soul to Heaven. _Personally._

Serizawa: It is an honor to die by your side Godzilla: It is an honor to live by yours

The original Serizawa sacrificed himself to kill Godzilla, in order to save humanity. The new Serizawa sacrificed himself to save Godzilla, in order to save humanity. No matter what side Godzilla is on, Serizawa is will always be ready so give his life for humanity.

People have been commenting how Serizawa in the original film died to kill Godzilla while this one died to save him, but both versions died with the same intent: to protect humanity.

Imagine how upset archeologist and historians are when they find out these guys nuked the lost city of Atlantis

He was the only one who TRULY believed in Godzilla. Everyone else feared him, but Serizawa never did. He respected him. He understood him. In a way, I think Serizawa loved Godzilla. That's why he sacrificed himself to bring Godzilla back. As someone who's been a Godzilla fan all my life, this is how I always wanted to see Serizawa die - by Godzilla's side.

I've seen people say that Godzilla wouldn't have even understood what was going on... His intelligence and level of empathy was established in the first movie. When he had an emergency nap after fighting the male MUTO, he was visibly exhausted and even distraught. He realised what was happening and what Serizawa did for him. People need to pay attention to the movie before they start tearing it apart...

He is the only person that was able to boop Godzilla's nose.

critic: "he should of left the nuke timer for an hour and left, so dumb" me, an intellectual: *"the radiation was burning his insides and his death was honorable and he took off his helmet to connect humanity with godzilla, it was a touching moment that should stay."*

What always stood out to me about this scene... after Godzilla comes back... he gives the people on the Boat this look.... that just screams. "Now.... are we Done with *your* bullshit?...." loved it. Makes Serizawa's death mean something when the beast they tried to kill is willing to overlook something.

This will remain my most favorite scene in all of the MonsterVerse. Serizawa's sacrifice to save Godzilla, the ancient city, the music in this scene, Serizawa walking up to Godzilla and putting his hand on Godzilla's snout saying his farewell in Japanese, the slight smile he gives him seconds before the bomb explodes, the raw emotion of it all. It's perfect. By far one of the best scenes in the Godzilla Franchise. KOTM might be underrated to many, but it has heart and respect for the history of the franchise. And THAT'S why as time goes on, it will be recognized more and more.

*nuke detonates* Godzilla: Yow wtf my house

Dr Serizawa 1954: Sacrifice himself to kill Godzilla. Dr Serizawa 2019: Sacrifice himself to revive Godzilla back.

2:58 If you look closely, you can see Godzilla’s eyes full of tears, which indicates that Godzilla knows Serizawa is sacrificing his own life

I guess it was a very emotional moment for Serizawa who spent his life studying and admiring Godzilla and gave his life to save him, touching him as his final act and saying goodbye to a dear friend

So we're just going to ignore that the lost city of Atlantis was just destroyed.

The critics don’t have to like a film, movies aren’t made for critics.

...The part at the end could be interpreted as Godzilla both unleashing a roar to the heavens to herald his return... And as a Sign of respect and a cry of grief for the one person amongst the humans who truly understood him.

He fought for us. Died for us. He is not only proof coexistence is possible... He is, the key to it.

He is the only human character that I like

**crib gets wrecked** Godzilla: so that’s what that feels like

Considering Godzilla “speaks” Japanese, that goodbye from Serizawa really had to hit close to home for big G

1954: Dr. Serizawa Sacrificing Himself to kill Godzilla. 2019: Dr. Serizawa Sacrificing himself to make godzilla stronger.

Godzilla 2014: "Let them fight" Godzilla 2019: "Let me die"

Astronauts on the ISS seeing a massive blue beam heading towards them: 👁👄👁

The music in this scene really contributes to the sacredness and intimacy of a human and monster bond. A sense of true understanding is exchanged, along with a great respect and admiration that transcends species.

I've read many of the comments here below this vid and here's my take on it. This scene for me is a very touching one, it shows the amount of love Serizawa has for Godzilla. One thing I noticed is when Serizawa places his hand on Godzilla's muzzle and they have eyecontact with one another, Godzilla has tears in his eyes. It's subtle but to me it shows recognition and understanding between them. When Godzilla resurfaces and sends his atomic breath into the air, it's obvious to me that the King is sending Serizawa heavenward. The amount of emotion here is unmistakable, to go above and beyond for a creature such as Godzilla, there has to be some sort friendship there. Godzilla is far more than just a simple killing machine, he's strong, he's fast, he's intelligent and shows how tactical he can be in a fight. He understands what the humans were doing to help him in the fight with Ghidorah. I just think some people don't the big guy enough credit when it comes to how much understanding, intelligence and emotion he actually shows.

After reading the Godzilla Dominion comic. (prequel to GvK). Godzilla remembers Serizawa's sacrifice and the time when ancient humans populated his temple. He is able to distinguish human actions and is in tune with the entire planet. Smarter than most people would think.

Imagine discovering Atlantis and not being able to tell anyone since you had to destroy it for a greater good.

This scene makes me cry everytime i watch the film. Dr. Serizawa's unshakeable faith in Godzilla is truly something to be admired

Serizawa: goodbye old friend Godzilla: thank you for everything

This scene has a really great message, serizawa is holding his father's watch from when the first bomb landed on Hiroshima. In a way serizawa is conquering his demons and letting go of what happened (nuclear warfare). He is saying goodbye to Godzilla because he is at peace

The only human character in the Monsterverse that I genuinely love and is memorable.

People keep saying we don't need human character and just more Titans. However this scene is such a great example how great human character adds a lot to the movie. The feeling and emotion in this scene is definitely the best out of any Monsterverse movies so far, by a long shot. Dr.Serizawa will be missed for sure.

When I saw this in theaters, I had chills run through my entire body. because of the score, the visuals, everything. I don’t know how anyone would not like this scene. It’s perfect. Showing the connection between human and Titan. I would gladly do the same for godzilla. My last moments among such an incredible being.

I think this scene was made to honor the late Haruo Nakajima for when he went and saw the first *new* Godzilla in 2014 and saw him on screen at the airport scene for the first time. He was allegedly heard saying "There he is, my old friend." Brings it all full circle and I shed a tear because of it.

One of the many cool things about this scene is that serizawa says saraba instead of sayonara.. saraba is used when the goodbye is final and inevitable. Which is obviously the case here since serizawa is gonna die.

I love it when Zarizawa says “goodbye.. Old friend” in Japanese.

A man finally meeting HIS god is the greatest gift of all.

The amount of honor and respect in this scene is what made it so perfect! Take to the consideration that this probably the first time in thousands of years he's had a visitor to his home! Serizawa died a hero and a legend to give humanity its greatest hope in the face Ghidora!

Imagine you've had possibly the worst day of your life, your enemy has beaten you up, a bomb has hurt you, your at home, exhausted, your lying on your bed. Thinking that you might die. Then suddenly, a Lego man comes walking to your face and he touches your nose. Realising he has made an effort to try and save you. What would you be thinking about that?

The only human in this Monsterverse to do anything substantially helpful.

Mr. Watanabe is a legend

Serizawa: Goodbye. . .Old friend Godzilla: Thank you for believing in me.

Who's gonna say, "Gojira" now that he's gone..?

I was lucky to see the original Gojira from 1954 just before the premiere of KOTM. It was a real emotional shock. I did not expect something like this. One of the three most touching scenes in the entire history of this franchise.

Anyone else still come back to this clip? Its beautiful

When the 1954 theme started playing I lost my shit

Serizawa- *Nukes himself in order to save the Earth last hope against the False King and goes down with honer. Godzilla- *Rises from the water and fires a beam of Atomic Fire breath into the sky as what seems to be a "flex" but in truth is a king sending off a brave man to the afterlife the only way a king knows how.

Godzilla: im badly wounded Human: here some nuclear for breakfast

This was probably the most saddest scene but was yet heart warming in the whole 2019 film.

I hate how the critics of the movie said there weren't enough human moments when this was the best and most impactful part of the entire story

A deeper nod to history that not a lot of people noticed. The doctors wristwatch is set to the exact same time the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Serizawa respected Godzilla for all that he was trying to do to see Godzilla honor his death with an atomic breath to the sky was the ultimate sign of respect for believing in him And now look at him Him and kong fought a common enemy even after those two were trying to kill each other and now a new titan will awoken in Godzilla X Kong a new empire and they gonna fight at first amd then team up to face a new threat the monsterverse is becoming the best thing ever.

I’ve been a fan of Godzilla and I must say that this whole scene got me excited for the next battle. The way Godzilla came out was like ahhhhhhh! You can tell he’s pumped up!❤❤❤❤❤

My favorite scene in the entire movie...especially that walk Serizawa takes up those ancient steps...like a final honor granted to him as a privilege for all his faith in...and lifelong dedication to studying Godzilla...

The critics can slam this movie all they like, I don't care, this was a fun movie for me. And this scene actually was pretty touching and poignant.

Godzilla let that breath off into the air to honor that man’s sacrifice it’s crazy how intelligent he is.

Thor: "Bring me Thanos!" Godzilla: "Bring me Ghidorah!"

This scene made me so sad. I don’t care what the critics think, this was a great movie!

I'm almost positive they surfaced way too fast 3:15

2:57 Godzilla: Thanks for being there for me. 3:01 Serizawa: Goodbye… …old friend.

Dr.Serizawa: “Good bye, old friend.” *Nuke explode* Godzilla: “MY HOUSE!!”

1954: I will sacrifice myself to kill him 2019: screw that I'm gonna sacrifice myself to save him

Rest in peace not only Dr. Ishiro serizawa but also the unfortunate souls of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

0:48 The choir in the score for this scene is singing in *Babylonian* That's how far back this frienship goes.

The way Dr. Serizawa says 'goodbye' is really indicative. He says 'saraba' which is a very old expression (think samurai times) for saying goodbye and perhaps the closest equivalent expression is 'adios' and in English similar to 'farewell'. It is very poetic and like 'farewell' in its normal sense also used like that ... as a last goodbye.

R.I.P Serizawa 1954:Died to kill Godzilla 2019:Died to Save Godzilla

This scene especially the ending when he roars with that music is just awesome.

It's still sad to think about how Godzilla went home so it could be his final resting place. Luckily Serizawa was willing to help the true king 👑

1954: Sacrificed himself killing Godzilla 2019: Sacrificed himself saving Godzilla

When he was looking at the humans once he got to the surface, I believed Godzilla was trying to say, "I am doing this because of your friend's sacrifice. I do not plan to waste it and I hope you do the same"

Für mich die schönste Szene im ganzen Film. Godzilla kennt ihn und er verabschiedet sich. Allein Godzillas Blick sagt mehr als tausend Worte

Even in the original (1955) movie, Serizawa feared his own creation (The Oxygen Destroyer) more than he feared Godzilla, believing that his creation could be more dangerous than the monster that was wrecking Tokyo. This is a good way to end the character (Serizawa) in respect to the original character as well.

Honestly Godzilla looks like a big teddy bear that I really wanna snuggle with.

Probably the first time anyone had ever referred to Godzilla as "friend". Seriously, Godzilla by all accounts has one dreary existence. He has no friends or even companions among the other Titans, barring Mothra of course, he is hated and treated as a menace by almost all of mankind, when he once lived in harmony with them, and he has lived hundreds of thousands if not MILLIONS of years of seclusion, loneliness and violence. Then, at his weakest point, a lone human courageously enters his lair (which is highly radioactive, might I add), places a nuclear device at his feet (his "medicine", you could say) and even places his hand on his snout, calling him "old friend". That must really move him. He always thought that humans would never accept him as they once did, and now he's getting just that- acceptance. To hear a human call him "friend" must be truly uplifting. Wouldn't you say?

Courage, honor, discipline.... All learned from his samurai ancestry... respect!!!!!

“This was his place. A place they built for him. The place where they lived with him The place where they died for him.”

Other titan's : "did you got revived by serizawa?" Godzilla : "yes" Other titan's : "what did it cost?" Godzilla : "my home and serizawa's life"

This movie is criminally underrated and was one of the best of the summer 2019. While not without its flaws I still enjoyed it

There it is. Two of the best scenes in the movie back-to-back. I really really want the Monsterverse to continue.

(Hours before leaving the ship) Serizawa: "I'll go, I'll be the sacrifice..." In reality, he just wants to be the one to Boop the snoot of a near-dead Godzilla/Gojira) Serizawa: "Ha, Worth it!"

Someone actually made a good point. It seems if serizawa's soul was transferred into Godzilla's atomic Breath and his soul was shot up into heaven.

Despite Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen not returning for the sequel, i'm so glad they kept Ken Watanabe as Serizawa back to the sequel. In my opinion, Serizawa is the heart of the movie, he truly cares that these monsters are not really monsters that killed people. He's the likeable human character in the movie

The transition to the deep trombones of the Godzilla theme... Right when he makes eye contact with the sub. Gave me such chills when seeing it in theaters.

Poetic. The Original Serizawa died to kill Godzilla, The Last Serizawa died to save Godzilla.

Serizawa in heaven: “I died honorably and valiantly! I wonder what my son will become!” His son: **becomes Emo and makes an evil robot** Serizawa: 👁👄👁

When some say he could have set a 1 hour timer and left understand the radiation was burning his inside yo pieces. Taking off the helmet and fully connecting with Godzilla. This is way more peaceful and honorable death than running out. This movie was far too heavily criticized. The sound track when godzillas powered up is amazing

Can we all appreciate the soundtrack behind sarizawas sacrifice? Holy hell this never ceases to stop me in my tracks

3:01 Serizawa: Goodbye old friend... Godzilla: I dont even know who's this guy.

Human: gibs Nuke Godzilla: *Yeets a laser beam using 60% of his energy as a flex*

A nuke isnt just radiation and heat. There is a massive kinetic punch from the shock wave. Being able to take that kinetic energy in the face at ground zero should mean Kong punching Godzilla isnt much more than a flea bite.

Such a great character in the godzilla franchise one of the best(if not the best) human characters it’s amazing how he managed to bring godzilla back to life by sacrificing his own life for the Big G and sure enough his line “Let them fight” will always be a legend

芹沢博士の名台詞「Goodbye…old friend.（さらば、友よ）」は泣けた。

In the first Godzilla film Dr. Serizawa sacrificed himself to *kill* Godzilla. In this Godzilla film Dr. Serizawa sacrificed himself to *save* Godzilla. That is some good story telling right there.

4:35 holy frick the camera man is not surviving this time, Godzilla has spotted the camera man.

bro he was like the only human character I actually liked in the MonsterVerse movies and they killed him… *R.I.P. Serizawa*

Bear McCreary making me ball my eyes out with his unbelievable score. AMAZING
