LA conveys him fine,aside from the weird way he jumps. He's certainly my favorite of the MG's,with Showa being a close second.

Personally I think Kiryu sucks and is the weakest MG. It is such a piece of junk. However there is an aspect of him I do love and that is of course the whole thing with Godzilla 54's spirit. Instead of focusing on that though which could have made this kaiju way more interesting it was unfortunately put on the back burner.

I honestly love this version of MG and he's my favorite!

Being Japan's protector and also have the soul of Godzilla 1954 was a super cool concept for me and I wish they could have brought him back and/or mentioned him in Final Wars. :cry:

If Kiryu or MG had been in FW, it probably would have been as the final boss. Depending on your opinion of Kaiser Ghidorah, that might have been a good or bad thing.

Wasn't Kiryu intended to play the same role as the Gotengo in an earlier draft of FW?
