Why do Titans cut each other's heads off? | Kaiju Executions EXPLAINED

I think the decapitating of the head particularly as we seen from both Godzilla and Kong is a sign of showing dominance and in some cases of ego showing superiority.

Pertaining to the unnecessary treatment of Ghidorah's final head, after Godzilla had incinerated his body and other heads, it may have actually been necessary, the reason for this could be that due to Ghidorah's regenerative properties, which Godzilla may or may not have been aware of, he could theoretically regenerate his lost body from his neck stump beneath his head and Godzilla did not want to allow that possibility to become a reality. It may seem ridiculous, but Ghidorah has at least been hinted to be an alien creature and if that is the case, his biology, being potentially different from the organisms on earth, may allow him to perform such a feat. Also the head in Godzilla's jaws (final head) was still very much alive, which alone could have prompted Godzilla to completely obliterate it. Its very possible that there may be more decapitations in the future of the monsterverse.

Fun fact- tug-marks and feeding-bites show that the Tyrannosaurus also had a habit of ripping off heads! Though this was specifically to get at the tasty meat behind the head of a Triceratops or other large ceratopsian- horned dinosaurs needed a lot of muscle and powerful jaws to hold up and fuel the growth of their massive heads, so a post-mortem head removal would make it easy to get at an apparently-prized snack of jaw muscles and neck meat when the tyrannosaur's kill was running low on easier meat.

Goji Center clapping back with Ghidorah’s head was pure gold 🤣☠️

Decapitation may also be one of the more reliable ways of putting down a Kaiju, in most versions, Kaiju can recover from gruesome a devastating wounds and take enormous amounts of punishment. Decapitation may be one of the only ways to know for certain that a rival is dead, and when asserting authority, it's not just a trophy or way to humiliate the victim, but also a way to show to other Kaiju that the challenger is dead and not gonna make a come back.

You’re models have become a lot more detailed and the animation too, it just keeps improving every episode!

I always figured it was a way to save energy and make sure the enemy stayed down. Cause a lot of Titans are ridiculously durable but unlike Ghidorah most can't just shrug off head loss.

I think decapitation is the choice for killing because it's probably the most efficient way to kill an organism that's already incredibly resistant to most attacks.

The Legendary Titans have human level intelligence. They don't think like us, but they think on a similar level. The fact that Kong can speak in ASL is a huge give away. Godzilla repeatedly making moral decisions, and Mothra outright refusing to kill humans lends further credence to the idea that they're more than just animals.

Of course, they always aim for the head, unlike Thor in IW. 😏 Edit: Guys, calm down. It's just a meme, y'all. Don't take it so seriously, man. 😩 Edit 2: 1K! Mom, I'm so famous!!

Most animals, including humans, still can fight without limbs. Some reptiles can even regenerate their limbs even when severed, so taking off the head is the easiest way of a sure fatality. Ghidora’s head was taken off because that was the main head that controlled the other two on its body so it couldn’t regenerate like the other head did when Godzilla first chewed off the head in the first battle between the two.

This was a very fun video, and I thank the whole team for taking the time to create it. I do believe that we're going to see more head injuries in the next movie and probably some decapitations, but personally I think it would be interesting to see the main antagonist be killed by something other then a decapitation. On another note, I know I've mentioned this in at least a couple comments in the past, but one other reason for Titans decapitating their enemies could be sustenance. Granted we only saw this with Kong after he killed the Warbat, but brains would be a nutrient-rich source of food for Titans in need of a meal. In humans at least, around 20% of our nutrition is concentrated in the brain because of how vital it is to keeping us functioning. I'm not sure if this would be a main reason for removing the head or just an additional benefit, but it's something that I feel should be mentioned at least once.

This video just reminds me how much I'd like a kaiju fighting game in the style of Mortal Kombat. The fatalities would be glorious.

5:17 It's not unnecessary. Probably the only way to truly defeat him. Remember, Ghidorah can regenerate, so making sure nothing remained is the best way of doing so. Unsure if one head can regenerate an entire body, but it could take time but that time can end up becoming another fight in the future. Not to mention that Godzilla had a rivalry with Ghidorah. He kind of deserved it when you know what he did. Basically took Godzilla's title as king, almost destroyed the planet if Godzilla didn't interfere, Killed Mothra (yes I know she can reincarnate but still), and basically hurt him in the process. From making him fall over 50 feet in the air, to getting bodied and pulled, and thrown, Ghidorah's execution was brutal and you may call it unnecessary, but to Godzilla, he deserved it. 6:01 It's completely natural for King Kong to use a head like a trophy. Gorillas are very territorial and very aggressive, and knowing about that Godzilla like skull where the throne room is down in Hollow Earth, it'll make sense that Kong inherited that trait. Be in mind that Godzilla and Kong were at war with their own kind. So setting example for decapitating heads as trophies is reasonable to do.

I always thought it was more of an intimidation tactic. Because of how brutal some of these fights can be, the Titans wear themselves out. Godzilla had to catch his breath after killing the first muto and then took a nap after the second, and kong even after getting a little jolt had to sit down and rest after killing mechagodzilla. So to allow themselves some rest maybe through some form of evolution, they developed this violent form of killing a creature to ward off any other titans from challenging them if they saw either the act of or the result.

Since we know that King’s used prices of Goji’s to build things like the axe, imagine the the Kongs learning Decaptition from the Iwi and wearing the heads of titans they defeat.

Another awesome video Goji, can’t wait for the next face-off

i love how creative the intro was, it made it clear what the topic of the video and its very interesting to watch, keep it up!

Taking account that titans have existed longer than humans, I think that humans might’ve learned to decapitate heads from the titans (this is obviously in the monsterverse if humans had the same timeline IRL) but the thing is that humans because of their intelligence and able to observe and take notes and stuff and because they had symbiosis with titans would’ve learned to and how to decapitate heads.
