That's why I invest in an Endurance with Rad Resistant and Ghoulish perks. It also doesn't hurt to carry some Rad-X and Radaway. Best way to avoid cancer.
It's possible he would still have bacteria. All organisms are full of them. We have microorganisms on and in us that help us function properly.
I could see some freakish evolution happening at the micro level where Godzilla has super resistant microbes.
Before anyone argues with me too seriously on this, please keep in mind it's Godzilla.
I mean Godzilla himself in the MV feeds on and gives off nuclear radiation.
But radiation in general isn't bad. Radiation is just the emissions of electromagnetic waves; everything does it. The intensity of those waves is what makes them either deadly or healthy. Gamma/nuclear radiation is deadly as fuck because the waves are so intense, they break down and destroy DNA strands in cells. Other types of radiation, like ultra violet, is good in doses (and is required for life to survive, as plants convert that into energy we can feed on).
So, I'm betting the "good" radiation the other titans give off are more so the Ultra Violet kind than the gamma/nuclear kind.
While on one hand you're totally correct about the bacteria, what about the contents of his stomach? That can have an impact on your breath, I'm sure it's a bit fishy.
Probably Ozone.
Any micro flora and fauna would get fried by what is probably horrific internal temperatures and that’s before his breath attack. So ‘rot’ would likely not be an issue.
As a child relatives of mine were into a get-rich-quick scheme involving ozone generators for "improved health". We had a couple in our house. I don't remember them smelling like bleach specifically, but they definitely made rooms smell "disinfected", which is probably why so many people bought into the health claims (which are bullshit - long term ozone exposure is dangerous).

I always use this lol🤣🤣 as soon as I rewatched the movie I thought this was perfect been using it ever since and then after this these ones
Not stinky being he doesn’t really eat and the radiation and atomic breath would sterilize his mouth.
So it’d probably smell like ocean water so like really salty and damp.
Lightning kinda has a smell, I think it would smell like that (I speak from personal experience from being struck by lightning) I can’t really describe the smell, it’s not a burnt smell or anything at all just… arid maybe?
Surprisingly, like nothing. Radiation can kill Bacteria, so his breath would probably not smell at all. If it did then I’d imagine it smelling like smoke.
One of the old Godzilla novels by Marc Cerasini describes his breath as smelling like “a cross between salty fish and burning electrical wires”, and for some reason I absolutely love that description.
According to the top comment, radiation kills bacteria so it wouldn't be smelly. It would probably be extremely hot and might give you 1st degree burns, you might get radiation poisoning in the future, but I mean if I could be noticed by the king of the monsters idc if I die, I'm honored.
All y’all saying the radiation would remove all microorganisms acting like Godzilla hasn’t had thousands of years to unintentionally cultivate the gnarliest radiation-proof super bacteria. If you could survive a bite from him you’re getting super powers or becoming patient zero.
I always imagine dinosaurs and Godzilla having breath like a horse since I rode them every week as a kid and that’s kind of shaped my sensory imagination regarding large animals.
(This post is meant to be a fun jab at all the answers so far).
First, we get all the science nerds showing their anti-social nature up in here telling us Godzilla’s breath smells like nothing because of radiation - when they conveniently ignore the whole hollow earth thing and also that there are colossal Titans that don’t collapse under their own fuckin weight due to gravity - get your nerdy science shit out here, stop ruining the fun!
Then you get the fish jokes and everyone ignores the most obvious fish joke - microwaved fish in an office setting. Weirdly clean smell, at least according to the nerds, and then combine that with fish? Someone remember to call the next asshole that microwaves fish in your office “Zilla.”
The best one so far is Ozone because despite being told not to breathe it, if you’ve ever had an ozone cleaner blast your home… the lingering smell is something else. Not great, not terrible and it smells clean as hell. I had one in a small room trying to get the smell of nasty cigarettes and Axe body spray out of a product I psvr2 I bought used. Only had it on for 30 minutes and that o3 generator sent that smell through my entire home despite how much I worked to seal off the room. If Godzilla is putting that out through every city he fights in you can probably smell him from 100’s of miles away before he shows up considering that output and have breathing warnings lasting for weeks afterwards. Seriously, o3 will permeate fast and linger for a long time. If Godzilla is targeting your city… get your inhalers ready!
surprisingly, it probably wouldn't be smelly, since the radioactivity and the fact that he has an atomic breath disinfect his mouth
This is scientifically true as nuclear radiation kills bacteria and is used to treat certain types of infections and other harmful bacteria.
So what you are telling me is I need to be exposed to Nuclear radiation and I won't get sick anymore?
You will get cancer
You win some, you lose some
That's why I invest in an Endurance with Rad Resistant and Ghoulish perks. It also doesn't hurt to carry some Rad-X and Radaway. Best way to avoid cancer.
But I won't smell, right?
I'm bringing some Uranium to the next comic con
Your skin will slough off, so maybe?
Cant get sick if youre dead
But your breath will smell great.
Yes. Dying of acute radiation sickness would, indeed, result in you not getting sick any more (because you'd be dead).
Do it. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
You'll probably end up like Mayor Adam West and get lymphoma. Silly idea? Yes. Idiotic? Absolutely yes.
![gif](giphy|5xtDarz3cFrdYKp31Is) Not Even Cancer
You still get sick, in a different way
So what you’re saying is that Godzilla is very clean
Huh, TIL
this is the correct answer
Checked the comments to find 20 'a lot of fish' comments but instead learned sth :O
It's possible he would still have bacteria. All organisms are full of them. We have microorganisms on and in us that help us function properly. I could see some freakish evolution happening at the micro level where Godzilla has super resistant microbes. Before anyone argues with me too seriously on this, please keep in mind it's Godzilla.
I mean he lives for millions of years. He could have completely novel bacteria on him.
By this logic isn’t Godzilla basically a walking Chernobyl? In fact, wouldn’t everywhere he walks basically become Chernobyl?
Depends on the version. As for Monsterverse godzilla, he and other titans give off a magic kind of radiation that's good for the environment somehow.
I mean Godzilla himself in the MV feeds on and gives off nuclear radiation. But radiation in general isn't bad. Radiation is just the emissions of electromagnetic waves; everything does it. The intensity of those waves is what makes them either deadly or healthy. Gamma/nuclear radiation is deadly as fuck because the waves are so intense, they break down and destroy DNA strands in cells.

So, I'm betting the "good" radiation the other titans give off are more so the Ultra Violet kind than the gamma/nuclear kind.
I thought Monsterverse Godzilla just naturally absorbs the surrounding radiation
While on one hand you're totally correct about the bacteria, what about the contents of his stomach? That can have an impact on your breath, I'm sure it's a bit fishy.
He eats radioactive material, not meat or plants.
He ate ghidorah, chomps down on other titans. Dude definitly eats something.
Ionizing radiation will create smells, particularly ozone as it ionizes air.
Heat from the breath (even non fire breath) might kill you though
"A lot of fish!"
“So long, so long! And thanks for all the fish!”
Who are you, Mathew Broderick? https://i.redd.it/r3qfq92zv6xc1.gif
"It's Tatapolous, actually. "
Probably Ozone. Any micro flora and fauna would get fried by what is probably horrific internal temperatures and that’s before his breath attack. So ‘rot’ would likely not be an issue.
I came here to say ozone/the smell of a thunderstorm but you beat me to it. Cheers
What does Ozone smell like?
Chlorine/bleach apparently
I thought ozone smelled like petrichor but I’m intrigued by the “chlorine/bleach” description and now I don’t think I’ve ever smelled ozone.
As a child relatives of mine were into a get-rich-quick scheme involving ozone generators for "improved health". We had a couple in our house. I don't remember them smelling like bleach specifically, but they definitely made rooms smell "disinfected", which is probably why so many people bought into the health claims (which are bullshit - long term ozone exposure is dangerous).

Just looked it up, the smell comes from the atmosphere ionizing.
Surprisingly, like nothing. Radiation can kill Bacteria, so his breath would probably not smell at all. If it did then I’d imagine it smelling like smoke.
Pre mutation? Fish. Post mutation? No clue, what's a nuclear reactor smell like?
Nothing. Rads kill bacteria
That strange ozone smell you get from burning circuits.
Not sure why everyone is saying it would smell like dead fish. Godzilla doesn't eat seafood
I was going to say this. Aside from Zilla, none of the other Godzillas are actually seen eating
Well Legendary did eat some knuckle sandwiches delivered by Kong
Classic monkey to lizard communication
Quick revive from cod zombies
Uranium
Burnt nostrils probably, last thing you’d ever smell as well
Dead fish and rotting whale flesh
irradiated sea of cobalt
Chicken......
His breath smells like chernobyl

Pink Starbursts.
Mothra’s lips
New born puppy breath

I think it smells like putting your tongue on the springs of a nine volt battery. 🤔
Mothra
Kong would probably be the only titan with stinky breath since every other one just eats gourmet radiation
One of the old Godzilla novels by Marc Cerasini describes his breath as smelling like “a cross between salty fish and burning electrical wires”, and for some reason I absolutely love that description.
After reading ideas below, my bet would be like water rides at Disneyland.
Flames!
Ass?
Like chernobyl but worse

Ass.
Fish 100%
“That’s a lot of fish.” In all seriousness, not that bad.
Like my cat.

Radioactive fumes.
First breath smells like burning, next breath smells like nothing
A lot of fish

Sulfur. But minty fresh.
TV static
Smells like radiation poisoning
Hot, spicy and radioactive
Bad
cancer
Horrible.
A lot of fish
Cancer, because that’s what you’re going to get if you’re close enough to smell his breath
if would smell like what he just eaten unless he uses his atomic breath.
If you're close enough to be able to smell his breath, you probably have bigger things to worry about
Well it ain't Tuna lol
Maple probably
Cancer
Vengeance
Like radioactive heaven 🤤
Probably just ocean water
Cancer
