He's just one big buoyant boy.
He looks badass from the top, but under the water his lil legs are paddling at full speed.
That's a paddlin'!
My head canon for sea-based Kaiju is they have a sack of muscles somewhere inside their body that can expand a cavity, kind of like the diaphragm expands the lungs, except instead of taking in air or water it just creates a volume of vacuum inside of them. This makes them extremely bouyant relative to the surrounding sea pressure, so they rapidly ascend and can casually float like a boat near the surface.
But if they ever want to dive again, they just let that cavity collapse and all their bouyancy goes away.

That's all the explanation I need
I dunno. Seems a little unrealistic!
💯 This is the true answer
To get unnecessarily scientific here, that wouldn't change the overall density of the body, no? Even if there's now a cavity with vacuum, the matter that was occupying that space just moved somewhere else within the volumes of the body and the overall density remained the same.
Now, if it pushed some matter out, air or water, and created a vacuum cavity, that might work. But I'm not an engineer, so correct me if I'm wrong.
It's spelled 'buoy'
It's way cuter if he's kicking his stubby ol legs
Godzilla is a duck confirmed
Quackzilla
I like to think he’s treading water, Godzilla is an expert in synchronized swimming.
Yeah all the above is head canon for me now.
Squid locomotion.
He came from the deep ocean, and nobody thinks he's just the absolute master at treading water?? SMDH
I mean he clearly just walks out of the water in the movies, he’s not suddenly coming up, like you clearly see him slowly get higher and higher out of the water as he gets closer to shore. Also the ocean isn’t that deep close to shore.
OMG is this what whales do too? What about other fishes?? What have they been lying to us??
And boats and icebergs. Even me. I can't swim, I just extend my legs. and fake it.
Everyone always thinks the ocean is super deep from the beach outward. This is not the case. Just because a boat will float seemingly close to shore doesnt mean the hull is way down in the water
An aircraft carrier only has a draft of some 12 meters. Godzilla is over 100m. Much of the North Sea is only like 40m deep, with shallows much less than that.
That's how I usually interpret it except in Godzilla Minus One :
Tap for spoiler
A whole plot point is that he is in 1500m of water
He got on water wings(4 Pontoon boats).. or he's got a lot of gas from eating those spicy Asian femboys and is naturally buoyant
He's firing from both ends.
or maybe its godzillas stacked all the way down.
The new Godzilla Minus 1 movie actually goes over this, >!they even use it against Godzilla to try and defeat him.!<
Godzilla is Kaiju Jesus
He's obviously built himself thousands of little elevators over millenia. What did you guys think he was doing down there? Sleeping?
In his house at R'lyeh
clearly he swims when he's not in the shallows
I mean, most people doesn't even question how a dude walked on water, either.
He was the son of Godzilla, after all.
Yes.
Everyone is in here talking about Godzilla legs.
No one is talking about the Godzilla pizza slice.
Finally a pertinent question. Thanks
