Lore & Background

Serizawa discovered the reaction by accident while studying oxygen after the war. Horrified at how it could be misused in an age of nuclear weapons, he used it only once, to kill Godzilla.

He gave his own life in using it, to make sure the weapon could never be replicated, and became the first character to kill Godzilla.
