GD did slow its descent at one point. But yeah, it was still a ridiculous durability feat, being unharmed from re-entry and the impact. IIRC, the impact leveled a city block and/or a stadium.
On the flip-side, the Otachi's body was more or less intact from re-entry (and it couldn't slow down like GD), and GD's Sword easily cut through it.
There's also the Jaegers withstanding the pressure when they're several hundreds of meters underwater, but that isn't as impressive.
