Little sidenote; those are katakana, not kanji.
To give more context, they're entirely different writing systems; kanji are words and verb-roots written in Chinese characters, katakana simply represent the sounds of loanwords and onomatopoeia. In this case the “menacing” part isn't represented by a word with meaning but by the sound of rumbling thunder, writtem as ゴロゴロ (goro-goro). There is no dictionary definition for this, only sound, so they're written in katakana instead of kanji.
Japanese is such a difficult language
Thanks, tho. I learned something :P
