I expect Watanabe if he was deplorable when he register the playscript and see that his Serizawa dies in the movie . He replied that when he read it , he enjoy how the story rivet around a scientist and how philosophical the movie gets regarding the relationship between humans , civilization , and scientific discipline .

Even thoughDr . Daisuke Serizawadied in the 1954 Godzilla film , Hirata continue closely associated with Godzilla throughout his life , appear in King Kong vs. Godzilla as “ Doctor , ” Son of Godzilla as “ Fujisaki , ” Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla as “ Prof. Hideto Miyajima , ” and Terror of Mechagodzilla as “ Dr. Shinji Mafune . ”

“ I like the estimation where he comes back as 400 - groundwork tall radioactive Serizawa , ” Dougherty joked . “ Like , Serizilla . ”
