any extra lore on GhidoraStan64?
duh!! i love worldbuilding on the little things so lets get it !
- ren serizawa in the ghidorahs voice au attended an elitist tokyo school from the years 2006-2009, his father was a fairly public figure who often preached about balances long before the 2014 attack which resulted in ren having a big target on his back throughout his school days, already having few friends due to being reserved on top of now being bullied.
- ghidorastan64 wasnât born until a particular incident involving one of rens peers going out of his way to put a salamander in his shoe, which can easily be considered the straw that broke the camels back.
- when ren got home that day, he did what any angry chronically online teenager in that era and beyond would do and created âghidorastan64â as a means to take out his frustration on others, its worth noting the internet was a very different place than it is today, with that being said, he frequently targeted monarch pages, pro titan pages, vivienne graham in particular, and later went on to troll real life lolcows such as chris chan.
- ren DID NOT know ghidorah was a real thing when he created the username, to him, it was an evil creature from mythology and he had no idea said creature would fuck him over.
- nowadays, the ghidorastan64 account became so infamous several people began to use the handleâ this means ren wasnât the only one trolling bernie and a few copycat trolls came along down the line. even nearly 20 years after the account was made, controller x!ren considers this his biggest secret and feels true fear whenever someone refers to him as ghidorastan64 as opposed to X.

real shit LMAOO
is there any characters u based the 4 mcs off (ren, ichi, ni, and san)
yesyes! theres a lot so let me list them đ
starting off strong w renâŠ
the first inspiration behind ren (despite being a competent character in the novelization, he did have a lot of gaps that needed to be filled in) isnât the real mark zuckerbergâ rather jesse eisenbergâs portrayal in âthe social networking,â both are condescending geniuses who are socially distant (though in rens case its by choice, in marks choice its not)
additionally, just as mark screwed over eduardo in the movie (and presumably real life) ren was planning on screwing over walter simmons the moment he was no longer useful.
the most important similarity is both thrive on being the smartest person in the room AND being painfully aware of it, silently resenting those who they deem as less intelligent.
thatâs where rens similarities with mark end, as heâs not a hideous bigot, mechagodzilla was renâs idea whereas mark is portrayed as a thief who steals concepts, rens motivations are deeply personal while marks are for people to like him, and lastly, marks social climb is about status, rens is about control and a vendetta.
the second inspiration behind ren is chris manawa from fear the walking dead, both had morally up-right, no-nonsense fathers who tried to do the right thing even if their sons had a different vision of what was right. (ishiro and travis, respectively.)
they both became disillusioned and villainous, drifting away from their fatherâs ethics by choice.. additionally, they had a similar radicalizationâ each dealt with the death of their mother in isolation with little to no support.
however, the descent of chris is a common trope in twduâ survival, desensitization, and seeing the new world as a ruleless land where they can do whatever they want, renâs descent is driven by vengeance, ambition, childhood frustrations, and a god complex.
ren is also more calculated and wouldnât be foolish enough to meet the fate chris did.
as some of you may know, one of the main inspirations behind ghidorahs voice was smile 2, and a lot of the events in the early chapters of ghidorahs voice mirror smile 2.
for example, both ren and skye suffer hallucinations after a traumatic eventâ skye after the drug-induced crash, ren after the mechagodzilla electrocution.
the mirror scene where skye hallucinating louis (luis?) in the mirror is a direct parallel to ren hallucinating ishiro in chapter 3.
ghidorah parallels the smile entity, theyâre both persistent, supernatural forces that feed on trauma and slowly erodes the mind. however, in ghidorahs case, he doesnât kill ren, he molds ren into controller x by cutting off all of rens options.
both ren and skye try to navigate public scrutiny while desperately trying to rationalize what theyâre seeingâ skye as a pop star, ren as an infamous nepo-baby who destroyed an entire city.
ren waking up from a coma and facing legal/ethical battles echoes skyeâs return from tragedy.
like skye dismissing morrisâ warnings, ren dismisses bernies warnings because he finds bernie annoying and has a deep âtheres a scientific explantation to EVERYTHINGâ value instilled in him.
on a more comedic note, the next one is ryan howard. walter simmons is rens michael scottâ a buffoonish, self-important boss ren both tolerates and despises depending on what walter could contribute in rens conquest to kill godzilla.
like ryan, ren is the âgolden boyâ who is expected to rise fast but they both harbor bitterness and ambition, not caring who they have to step on to reach their goals.
however, ryanâs downfall is due to incompetence and egoâ heâs lazy and self-sabotaging, ren is anything but lazy, rens downfall is more about flying too close to the sun, emotional instability and three headed alien forces.
in short, ryan is played for comedy, ren is steeped in tragic horror.
back to the tragic note, one of rens biggest inspirations was junior wheeler from chucky. (anyone who knew me in 2021 knew i was DEVASTATED when he kicked the bucket and was in straight denial for months) junior is manipulated by chucky, ren by ghidorahâ though not to the same extent, as ren is intelligent enough to see ghidorah is using him, but an enemy of his enemy is his friend.. however, this doesnât change how both are essentially possessed by malevolent forces praying on vulnerability.
both characters lashing out and transformations into killers are tied to emotional repression and manipulation.
additionally, from the dialogue to the context, ghidorah finally convincing ren his own humanity is whats holding him back is directly inspired by this scene
back to differences, juniors arc is short-lived and tragic, rens is longer and more strategic, involving tech, politics, and global stakes.
junior died as a teenager and didnât fully understand what he was doing, while rens frontal lobe is fully developed, and not only does ren embrace what hes doing, he even tries to justify it.
lastly for ren is the salesman from squid game, both are lapdogs to greater powers (the salesman to the frontman, ren to ghidorah.)
they both project confidence and control but are ultimately servants trying to feel special in a system they dont control.
both (at least after ren adopts the persona of x) have a certain aesthetic flair, masking their true insignificance.
as for ichi, his biggest inspiration is..
princess blister from wings of fire! both are the most cunning and manipulative of their respective trios, they act as the âbrainsâ of the operationâ always plotting several steps ahead, enjoying mind games and psychological warfare.
ichi and blister have a similar way of disguising their ruthlessness with eloquence, additionally, they both also donât give the facade much effortâ snapping the moment they get called out.
both were turned into dust đ
both are narcissistic, believing they are the rightful rulers and vastly superior to those around them.
naturally, since ichi is inspired by blister..
ni is inspired by princess burn! ni, like burn, enjoys cruelty for his own sakeâ not mindless brutality, but calculated, indulgent violence.
both ni and burn are often underestimated as âthe muscleâ and nothing else, but they show tactical awareness when it benefits them. just like burn using queen scarlet as a shield from glorys venom, ni is the kind of guy who would sacrifice anyone to gain an edge or survive.
the next for ni is nam-gyu from squid game (nam-gyu referring to other players as cockroaches was my direct inspo for ghidorah referring to humans as cockroaches), both are right hand figuresâ ni to ichi, nam-gyu to thanos, both act loyal but are really in it for their own gain and survival.
they both have a duality of superiority and inferiority complexesâ they feel like theyâre the most dangerous out of their respective groups, yet simmer with resentment at being second to someone else.
just like how nam-gyu only truly respects thanos, ni only respects ichiâ but even then, that respect is overshadowed by envy and loathing.
both revel in mocking those weaker than them, even more so if they sense emotional vulnerability.
for san, as i stated in chapter 20, his main inspiration is..
agatha harkness! san, like agatha, enjoys manipulating the emotions of others (ren and wanda respectively) under the guise of charisma or humor.
both are showboats, loving dramatic reveals, flashy speeches, and being the most memorable individual in the roomâ even if that means coming off as a nuisance and being hated.
do you have any hcs for the three Ghidorah heads?
i know you only asked ab the ghidorah heads but iâve been dying for a ghidorahs voice hc dump so im taking this as âdo you have any headcanons for ghidorahs voice?â which i do!
- since ghidorahs roar is more of a high-pitched screech or cackle, iâve always imagined his voice was high pitched and bordered on feminine with a demonic edge, so iâd say he sounds like âHIMâ from powerpuff girls, obviously ichi ni and san have slightly different voices but HIM is the closest i could find.
- ghidorah saw all 33 years of rens life play out while in the coma as if it were a movie, meaning they saw lots of unpleasant things theyâd rather not see (interpret this how you will)
- ichi actually isnât the best at combat, obviously hes ghidorah and can fight, but heâs much more gifted in psychological torment and usually says something to get under his enemies skin AND THEN going for the kill after stunning them.
- additionally, ichi pays attention very heavily to body language, heâs learned lots of sign of human nervousness and human body language in general from the three years he spent in a comatose rens mind, going through his memories.
- ni has always wanted to usurp ichi, he just knows ichi is way smarter than him and is uncertain on whether san would be on board. ~~possible au where ni and san successfully erase ichiâs consciousness and instead have ren/x upload his consciousness to mecha king ghidorahs middle head.. making ren the cady haron to ichis regina george LMAO~~
- that being said, iâve always liked the idea of ni being the henchman whos objectively more evil than their superior, ni is the best fighter out of the three and though he believes they wouldâve killed godzilla in round one under their leadership, ni lacks the critical thinking to plan attacks and is a very âclaws onâ kinda guy so he wouldnât want to waste time planning.
- san is big on theatrics and dramatics so while in rens body, he often drags his trenchcoat as if it were a cape.
- san is more mockingly curious than genuinely curious abt human life, like the tags of ghidorahs voice states, he is __just__ as much of a villain as his brothers, the three of them are simply different villain archtypes who hate eachother and wouldnât work together if they werenât attached to the same body.
- ghidorastan64 was one of the chris chan trolls, i got this idea because i watch chris chan documentaries while writing đ
- hate isnt a strong enough word to describe how ren/X feels about vivienne graham and godzillaâ for the same reason, might i add! he feels they stole ishiros time and attention from him.
- ren/X views ghidorah as a sensei figure of sorts, he believed ghidorah saved his life and wouldâve died from electrocution in 2024 if it werenât for ghidorahs interference and since ghidorah has unintentionally shown more and pride interest in his accomplishments than ishiro has, ren/X may even go as far as to viewing ghidorah as a father figure, though he still deems ishiro irreplaceable, ghidorah is a close second.
- that being said, the father/son affections are completely onesided and all three heads of ghidorah view ren/x as a desperate puppet, a means to an endâ they capitalize on his hatred for godzilla and overall mean spirited nature to mold him into the perfect lapdog.
