Gojira is the original Japanese name for Godzilla, the giant monster first introduced in the 1954 Japanese film of the same name. Over decades of sequels, remakes and parodies, the creature became a global symbol of unstoppable destruction, and its distinctive roar became instantly recognisable even outside the films. Online, editors now reuse that roar as shorthand for scale and menace, dropping it into memes, gaming clips and reaction videos whenever something enormous, powerful or unexpectedly threatening appears on screen.
