Jared Krichevsky, the lead character designer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, spilled the beans that Godzilla’s flashy pink transformation took a cue from one of Goku’s first power-ups in Dragon Ball Z.
When Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire dropped its full trailer, folks online were shocked to see Godzilla shining in pink. This pink makeover quickly became a hit on social media as fans couldn’t stop talking about it.
Soon, they started wondering if this power-up was inspired by Dragon Ball transformations, and it turns out, there might just be a connection.
Yesterday, Jared Krichevsky, a seasoned artist known for his creature designs, kicked off a fan Q&A session to chat about all things Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. In a post that’s since been deleted, he spilled the beans that they drew inspiration from Kaio-Ken Goku when creating Pink Godzilla.
“I didn’t see Goku Rose until years later. But I did base the transformation off of Kaio-Ken. Yeah, it was always supposed to be a temporary transformation. In the movie, he absorbs the DNA of Tiamat,” Krichevsky shared.
