Godzilla vs. Destoroyah is the 1995 sequel to Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, the twenty-second film in the Godzilla series and the final film in the Heisei series. It is directed by Takao Okawara, with Kazuki Omori writing the screenplay.The film involves Godzilla (Kenpachiro Satsuma) suffering from a nuclear meltdown with 2 scenarios: A. He will blow up, resulting in a nuclear explosion that will destroy the world. Or B. He will meltdown at 1200 degrees to the point he will destroy the world from the inside. New problems arise when fish in aquariums are being reduced to skeletons caused by creatures awakened by the Oxygen Destroyer, the weapon used to kill the first Godzilla in the original Godzilla. Now the world rests on Godzilla and his newly grown son Godzilla Junior (Hurricane Ryu) to take on this new threat, before the nuclear dinosaur dies.The film also stars Takuro Tatsumi as Dr. Kensaku Ijuin, Yōko Ishino as Yukari Yamane, Yasufumi Hayashi as Kenkichi Yamane, Sayaka Osawa as Meru Ozawa, Megumi Odaka as Miki Saegusa, Masahiro Takashima as Sho Kuroki, Momoko Kōchi (in her final film performance) as Emiko Yamane, Akira Nakao as Takaaki Aso, Shigeru Koyama as Goto, and Saburo Shinoda as Professor Fukazawa.As this is the Grand Finale of the Heisei saga, this is the last contributions by Kazuki Omori, and the actors' roles, as well as Momoko Koichi's final film role before her death in 1998. The series would briefly retire Godzilla so Tri-Star create their own Godzilla film, which would be released in May 20th, 1998. However due to the negative response to that film, Toho would release Godzilla from retirement in 1999 instead of their original intent to start a film in 2004 for its 50th anniversary.The film was released on December 9, 1995.Godzilla 2000 starts a new series of films called the "Millennium Series". | |

| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to the semi-soft hearted Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, this film is perhaps the darkest entry of the entire Heisei series (being the last film of this series notwithstanding). As dark as the first film as people say, since it deals with Godzilla dying, a villain that has no qualms killing anything in its path, and the idea to use the weapon to kill the original Godzilla. Several reprise from the music drives this further. | |

Crosses with Papa Wolf. Godzilla's son, Junior, is killed by Destoroyah, sending Godzilla into a frenzy wherein he nearly rips Destoroyah open, his own suffering be damned. The JSDF's freeze weapons and Destoroyah's own attacks did put nails in Godzilla's coffin, but it was his anger over Junior's death that ultimately causes Godzilla's meltdown. To put this in perspective, Destoroyah is the Anthropomorphic Personification of the only weapon to ever kill Godzilla. Godzilla's Unstoppable Rage causes Destoroyah to run away. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: The kaiju action gets more violent than ever, with scenes like Destoroyah spiking a gory hole in Junior's chest with its inner mouth, and when Destoroyah and Godzilla go hand to hand combat they slash and blow bloody chunks off each other (including Destoroyah spewing a mass of blood from its mouth). | |

| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Shinkichi Yamane, the boy next to Kyohei Yamane (Takashi Shimura), is the father of Ken and Yukari, who wants them to become scientists. Ken actually is one somewhat while Yukari is a newsreporter Serizawa's picture, which is Akihiko Hirata, plus Ken's room, with has Kyohei's stegosaurus. The simulation if Godzilla explodes shows him behind the Wako clock tower and the Diet Building, the two monuments the original Godzilla destroys in the first film. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Destoroyah can emulate the Oxygen Destroyer causing the target to be reduced to bones. Sounds cool right? The problem? He has to have them in a body of water and break up into a swarm of microbes for it to work. And even when he dropped Godzilla into the ocean he still couldn't use it because Godzilla's imminent meltdown was boiling the water and made it and him too hot to use this power. The only one to fall victim to this in the whole movie was an aquarium full of fish. Subverted with the chest laser it was supposed to use, that uses the power of the Oxygen Destroyer. This attack however was cut from the film. | |

Gentle Giant | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_36c64123 | comment |
Gentle Giant: Junior of course since Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, he seems more accustomed to humans than his father (for obvious reasons). Played straight AND horribly averted when he saves Miki and her psychic partner from Destoroyah from destroying their helicopter. The aversion is due to him eating whales in an earlier scene. When you get that big, eating tiny fruits on an island isn't going to cut it any more, also as mentioned earlier the Godzillasaurus is a carnivore. And to be fair he didn't see a far more plentiful source of fresh meat as food. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Holy crap. The entire film was basically 95% cynical, unlike the original film, which is 100%. This film heads towards the cynic route because Godzilla was dying, Junior being dead, and Destoroyah, being a monster that he is, is a living personification of the weapon that killed the original Godzilla. It got to the point people dreaded The End of the World as We Know It if Godzilla dies either explosion or meltdown. As Godzilla does die, the remaining 5% lands on the newly resurrected Junior, who would give Japan its eventual future it gains. | |

| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Both times for Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and this film: Godzilla never destroys Japan. In the ending, we see why, explaining Japan's economical boom in the future. Mothra successfully destroys the meteor heading towards Earth like she voluntarily does so for Battra in Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth. Godzilla's death itself, as he already has his fatal condition when the movie starts, and the tagline and the trailers proclaimed "Godzilla Dies!" | |

DestructiveSavior | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_3f4ec001 | comment |
Destructive Savior: Understandably for a teenaged Godzilla, Junior causes some destruction, but not nearly at a the level of his father's collateral damage. This is due to him in large part being Raised by Humans, at least initially. However, being Godzilla's son and able to breathe a stream of atomic breath, at least some collateral damage is inevitable. And in Junior's defense, the main piece of destruction he's "responsible" for (toppling a building) is due to Destoroyah blasting him into it. | |

Defeat Equals Explosion | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_471fdb9e | comment |
Defeat Equals Explosion: Kenkichi's first initial theory that if Godzilla explodes, he would inadvertently take the Earth with him. He also advises Aso to not hit Godzilla with any weapons, since doing so could cause him to prematurely explode. Destoroyah's body explodes after he is killed. Destoroyah also explodes midway through the final battle after Godzilla mortally wounds him, but this isn't fatal, and is actually his way of dividing his Perfect form back into an assortment of smaller Aggregates which he later recombines back into his Perfect Form, thus escaping dying. | |

I Just Want to Be Normal | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_4852f325 | comment |
I Just Want to Be Normal: Miki Saegusa notes that her psychic powers have been fading away lately, which worries her. Meru Ozawa, in contrast, says that she can't wait for her own powers to fade away, since it means she would be able to start a family as a normal person. Miki's reaction to Meru's response seems to indicate that she agrees with her colleague's sentiments more than she had realized. Averted in the Japanese version, Meru's reaction is actually the opposite from the dub's dialogue. She relishes having psychic powers and even says that she uses them to find out if the boys who loved her would ever marry her. Being that she's still single, apparently, the jury's out on that one. | |

Harmless Freezing: Both played straight and averted. It's played straight towards humanity in the case of the JSDF, whose freezer weapons meant that Godzilla didn't explode and breach the Earth's crust when he melted down. The aversion is due to Destoroyah's weakness to extreme temperatures. | |

Dying Moment of Awesome: Arguably the only known case of having a movie length version of this, as the film states Godzilla is literally dying from the film's very start, and despite this manages to fight off the army, the Super X-III, kill Destoroyah, and even resurrect his dead son! What makes the latter more impressive is that he did it in the process of finally going out while burning through an attempt to freeze him solid to prevent him from going into meltdown! | |

From Bad to Worse: Godzilla is about to explode if someone doesn't do anything about it. Freeze him, and crisis averted. Then Godzilla's going to undergo a literal Super-Power Meltdown. Then it gets worse: a mutated life form is killing fish, has the powers of the Oxygen Destroyer, can transform multiple stages, and its final form looks like the devil. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Destoroyah was awoken and mutated by the Oxygen Destroyer, which killed the first Godzilla. As it turns out, in ending one threat, Dr. Serizawa indirectly created another. Also way to go Rodan, you gave Godzilla his Hyper Red Spiral Atomic Breath which allowed him to destroy Super Mechagodzilla to avenge you and also to kill Spacegodzilla, but you also gave too much radiation to Godzilla in the process. Thus Rodan's Heroic Sacrifice is what ultimately ends up killing the Heisei era Godzilla. | |

Satanic Archetype: Given Godzilla is often considered a god (with his name meaning "God Incarnate"), it's only fitting that Destoroyah looks like a kaiju-sized demon. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Toho's international English credits misspell Kenpachiro Satsuma's name as KenHAchiro in this and every one of their international versions. There's a lot of cryptic, "Huh? What?" dialogue regarding Destoroyah and his powers in the international dub. The writing is certainly a far cry from say, Biollante's dub. Most of the dubbed dialogue script either over simplifies things or just plain made stuff up. For example, near the end of the movie when Colonel Kuroki is about to send the Super X-III out to stop Godzilla's meltdown, to drive home the gravity of the odds hinging on the film's climax, he morosely remarks, "Our budget for next year is zero yen... Then again, we may not even have a next year." This line in the dubbed version becomes, "Let's go freeze that overgrown lizard. This is gonna make my day." Unfortunately, this sort of thing is commonplace in the Heisei dubs. | |

They're both ancient creatures that existed long before humans before being awaken by a man-made superweapon. While Godzilla vented on humanity because of what he's become, Destoroyah is an Ax-Crazy murderer who has absolutely no qualms about killing everything in his path. | |

Death by Irony | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_9bca83eb | comment |
Death by Irony: Destoroyah is a creature mutated by the Oxygen Destroyer, a weapon that killed the first Godzilla. Godzilla of the Heisei era is the one who kills him (indirectly). Two years previously, Rodan dissolved himself into energy and got absorbed by Godzilla so that Godzilla could use the Spiral Ray. Now, close to death, Godzilla can't fire his normal strength beam, as he simply has too much radiation. Destoroyah dies in a similar manner to the way he killed Junior: Falling to the ground from a high altitude, with the impact killing him. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Junior, who in the previous film is portrayed as an annoyingly weak Super-Deformed foster son, actually grew up badass like his father. Apparently absorbing all the radiation from your melting-down daikaiju father will do that to you. Even better, after he was seemingly killed by Destoroyah, he actually absorbs the remnants of his father's melting body, growing further into a massive, full fledged Kaiju, continuing his father's legacy, and accidentally saves Japan from nuclear devastation. | |

Future Badass | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_9ce7c264 | comment |
Future Badass: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah implies this will happen to Junior as the plot of this film covers Godzilla's death, and the resurrection of Junior, though exactly how depends on whether the Futurians were telling the truth or not. According to their statements, Japan becomes a global superpower stronger than any other on Earth, and Godzilla supposedly destroys it. If Godzilla does trash Japan after it becomes a global superpower, then it will in fact be Junior who teaches the nation a lesson; if this doesn't happen, then it's Junior's kindness and affinity towards humans which will enable the nation to succeed. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: After putting down Destoroyah after defeating his Aggregate Forms, Godzilla makes his way to Junior's lifeless body. For the shortest of moments, the sheer radiation he gives off causes Junior to briefly come back to life, but he is so badly injured that he can only make the slightest of movements on the ground, and his eyes gently close, indicating that he truly is dead. This foreshadows his eventual resurrection following his father's death, as in his final moments, Godzilla gave Junior his radiation, allowing him to come back to life and grow into an adult, the New King of the Monsters. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Several connections with the original Godzilla appear on this film: Emiko (played once again by Momoko Kochi) senses Kensaku Ijuin's Micro-oxygen being similar to Daisuke Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer, thus, the flashback (with the stock footage from the original Godzilla) making the connection. Emiko's nightmare after Ken Yamane's Nice Job Breaking It, Hero moment when he declares using the Oxygen Destroyer on Godzilla's current state. Emiko's nightmare sequence plays another flashback scene in which Ogata and Serizawa went underwater and Serizawa using the weapon underwater. Of course, Emiko and Miki Saegusa both object to this. While the Oxygen Destroyer is the only weapon to ever kill Godzilla, it mutated Precambrian life-forms that could survive without oxygen. This is similar to Godzilla's mutation from the H-Bomb testing, which could wipe out anything within proximity and mutated the poor creature. This returns to one of the dark themes of the original Godzilla. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: In the original film, Serizawa feared that the Oxygen Destroyer in its current form is nothing but a destructive weapon more powerful than an atomic bomb, and burned his notes so he won't have to be forced to make another one. Kensaku Ijuin's Micro Oxygen is a near identical, but weaker, version of the original weapon despite his intentions to respect Daisuke's wishes to not replicate it as a weapon, only to realize that Destoroyah gets stronger after the Micro Oxygen doesn't kill it. And so Kensaku accidentally made Serizawa's fear come to reality. | |

Taking You with Me: In the manga adaptation, this is how Destoroyah is killed. As Godzilla begins to melt down, he grabs the weakened Destoroyah, and the combination of the dying Godzilla's extreme body heat and the JSDF's freezing laser beams basically disintegrate Destoroyah. This was the original ending for the movie as well, but the writers felt it took the focus off Godzilla's death so it was scrapped. | |

Word of God says that it is Godzilla who lands the killing blow, not the military. As Destoroyah falls out of the sky, Godzilla refuses to move out of the way. This is because he has been superheating the ground. The sudden change in temperatures between freezing cold and blazing hot is what destroys Destoroyah, which is Godzilla's doing. Rather than through just straight-up brutal violence, Godzilla kills Destoroyah scientifically. But it is still his actions (however relatively passive they may be) that end the monster. | |

Along with the Super X3, they prove their worth in the final moments of the battle, where they assist Godzilla in putting down Destoroyah once and for all, and also manage to help save the Earth by stopping Godzilla's meltdown from breaching the crust, although his released radiation does render Tokyo uninhabitable for a few moments, until Junior absorbs the radiation given to him by his father. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Godzilla's response to Destoroyah killing his son is not pretty. When you take away his son, he literally has nothing to lose. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Godzilla reaches the 1200 degree point, he starts to implode and Destoroyah tries fleeing for his life but the humans stop him dead in his tracks with freezing cannons, and Godzilla superheating the ground meant Destoroyah would die from thermal shock, which is why Godzilla refused to move. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Godzilla is undergoing a nuclear meltdown, and so the military is trying to find a way to cool him down before he accidentally destroys the world. At the same time, Kensaku Ijuin created a micro-organism which bore similarities to the Oxygen Destroyer that killed the original Godzilla back in 1954. Said Oxygen Destroyer awakened and mutated Precambrian life-forms 41 years after the death of the original Godzilla, which now means things went From Bad to Worse. So now Japan is between a rock and a hard place now that the atomic God of Destruction fights the devil of the Oxygen Destroyer to determine the end of the world. | |

Made of Explodium: After Destoroyah's wings get shot by the freeze weapons and lasers, he explodes after crashing into the ground. Averted with Godzilla, since he was thought to explode. Instead, he was having a literal meltdown. | |

11th-Hour Superpower: Burning Godzilla wasn't seen in a movie before or since until 2019 (though Burning Godzilla does make an appearance in the 2014 video game), and it makes sense since this was made for the final film of the Heisei series. | |

| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Both Godzilla and Destoroyah during the final battle use every extent of their abilities during the final battle, with Destoroyah only opting to make an attempted retreat when it becomes obvious that he no longer stands any chance of survival. Not even the loss of his son and repeated grievous injuries will stop Godzilla from securing his final victory. | |

The Load | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_e68b72 | comment |
Junior, who in the previous film is portrayed as an annoyingly weak Super-Deformed foster son, actually grew up badass like his father. Apparently absorbing all the radiation from your melting-down daikaiju father will do that to you. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Just as Godzilla is about to attack another nuclear plant, the Super-X III launches in defense of the plant. It not only survives the battle, it actually wins, a feat that only a handful of Kaiju movie vehicles can boast. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Averted in the Japanese version, Meru's reaction is actually the opposite from the dub's dialogue. She relishes having psychic powers and even says that she uses them to find out if the boys who loved her would ever marry her. Being that she's still single, apparently, the jury's out on that one. | |

Dark Reprise | |
| Godzilla vs. Destoroyah / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: Several music scores by Akira Ifukube are either darker or somber versions of his score from 1954. Some are even mixed with the new tracks to drive the point home that the world itself is in danger, and Godzilla knows he's dying. | |

Survivor Guilt: This may imply what Emiko Yamane went through after the events of the original film, as it was her that Serizawa chose to use the Oxygen Destroyer on Godzilla while making a Heroic Sacrifice. Her nightmare scene seems to support this. | |
