Godzilla, now covered in lava-like rashes, subsequently appears in <a href="/wiki/Hong_Kong" title="Hong Kong">Hong Kong</a> and destroys great swathes of the city with an empowered version of its atomic breath. The <a href="/wiki/Japan_Self-Defense_Forces" title="Japan Self-Defense Forces">JSDF</a> hires college student Kenkichi Yamane to unravel the mystery of Godzilla's condition. Yamane, a grandson of the same Dr. Kyohei Yamane who had encountered the <a href="/wiki/Godzilla_(1954_film)" title="Godzilla (1954 film)">first Godzilla</a>, suspects that Godzilla's heart, which acts as a <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_reactor" title="Nuclear reactor">nuclear reactor</a>, is undergoing a <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown" title="Nuclear meltdown">nuclear meltdown</a> as a result of the monster absorbing the energy released from a volcanically triggered uranium deposit on Baas Island. Yamane theorizes that when Godzilla's temperature reaches 1,200 °C (2,190 °F), it will explode with enough energy to melt the Earth down to its core. </p><p>The JSDF deploys the <a href="/wiki/Super_X" class="mw-redirect" title="Super X">Super X III</a>, an aerial combat vehicle outfitted with ultra-low temperature lasers, in an attempt to reverse Godzilla's self-destruction. While Godzilla's meltdown is not stopped, it is halted long enough to render Godzilla unconscious temporarily. Meanwhile, a colony of <a href="/wiki/Precambrian" title="Precambrian">Precambrian</a> organisms mutated by the Oxygen Destroyer used to defeat the original Godzilla are awoken during the construction of the <a href="/wiki/Tokyo_Bay_Aqua_Line" class="mw-redirect" title="Tokyo Bay Aqua Line">Tokyo Bay Aqua Line</a>. The creatures combine into several man-sized crab-like creatures and engage the JSDF in several deadly skirmishes. The creatures, dubbed "<a href="/wiki/Destoroyah" class="mw-redirect" title="Destoroyah">Destoroyah</a>," are revealed to be vulnerable to subzero temperatures and are temporarily held at bay with low-temperature lasers. The creatures respond to the threat by merging into a larger 'Aggregate' form, which destroys the lasers and takes to the skies in its Flying form. </p><p>Godzilla awakens, its condition having worsened to the point that its meltdown could potentially destroy the planet through a <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown#China_syndrome" title="Nuclear meltdown">China syndrome</a>-like incident. Miki locates Little Godzilla - renamed <a href="/wiki/Godzilla_Junior" title="Godzilla Junior">Godzilla Junior</a> on account of its increased size - and telepathically lures it to Tokyo, hoping that Godzilla will follow and be killed by Destoroyah. Junior arrives and battles Destoroyah's Aggregate form, who absorbs its DNA before being seemingly defeated. Godzilla arrives at <a href="/wiki/Haneda_Airport" title="Haneda Airport">Haneda Airport</a> and reunites with Godzilla Junior, only for Destoroyah, bolstered by Junior's DNA, to reappear in its final, 'perfect' form. Destoroyah kills Junior by dropping Junior onto the <a href="/wiki/Ariake_Coliseum" title="Ariake Coliseum">Ariake Coliseum</a> and blasting it with its Micro-Oxygen beam. Godzilla manages to drive off its adversary and unsuccessfully attempts to revive Junior. </p><p>Godzilla's bereavement accelerates its temperature increase which melted off his dorsal plates. A second attack by Destoroyah further worsens Godzilla. In the ensuing battle, Godzilla's temperature reaches a critical state, granting it access to an even further empowered heat ray, which it uses to critically wound Destoroyah. Destoroyah tries to retreat, but the JSDF fires its low-temperature lasers at its wings, causing it to plummet onto the superheated ground and dissipate. </p><p>Following the defeat of Destoroyah, Godzilla goes into meltdown, but the JSDF is able to minimize the damage with its freezer weapons. While successful in preventing Earth's destruction, Godzilla slowly and painfully melts to his death, which renders Tokyo uninhabitable. Suddenly, the radiation in Tokyo abruptly decreases to <a href="/wiki/Background_radiation" title="Background radiation">background levels</a>. Godzilla Junior's lifeless body had absorbed the senior Godzilla's radiation, resurrecting it as the new King of the Monsters and the new Godzilla. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Godzilla_vs._Destoroyah&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Takuro_Tatsumi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Takuro Tatsumi (page does not exist)">Takuro Tatsumi</a> as Dr. Kensaku Ijuin</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Yasufumi_Hayashi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Yasufumi Hayashi (page does not exist)">Yasufumi Hayashi</a> as Kenichi Yamane</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Y%C5%8Dko_Ishino" title="Yōko Ishino">Yōko Ishino</a> as Yukari Yamane</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Megumi_Odaka" title="Megumi Odaka">Megumi Odaka</a> as <a href="/wiki/Miki_Saegusa" title="Miki Saegusa">Miki Saegusa</a></li> <li>Sayaka Osawa as Meru Ozawa</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sabur%C5%8D_Shinoda" title="Saburō Shinoda">Saburō Shinoda</a> as Professor Fukazawa</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Akira_Nakao" title="Akira Nakao">Akira Nakao</a> as Commander Takaki</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Momoko_K%C5%8Dchi" title="Momoko Kōchi">Momoko Kōchi</a> as Emiko Yamane</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Masahiro_Takashima" title="Masahiro Takashima">Masahiro Takashima</a> as Major Sho Kuroki</li> <li>Takehiro Murata as Soichiro Hayami, Yukari's Editor</li> <li>Shigeru Kamiyama as Goto</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kenpachiro_Satsuma" title="Kenpachiro Satsuma">Kenpachiro Satsuma</a> as <a href="/wiki/Godzilla_(Heisei)" title="Godzilla (Heisei)">Godzilla</a></li> <li>Ryo Hariya as <a href="/wiki/Destoroyah" class="mw-redirect" title="Destoroyah">Destoroyah</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hurricane_Ryu" title="Hurricane Ryu">Hurricane Ryu</a> as <a href="/wiki/Godzilla_Junior" title="Godzilla Junior">Godzilla Junior</a></li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Godzilla_vs._Destoroyah&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ghost_Godzilla.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Ghost_Godzilla.jpg/220px-Ghost_Godzilla.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="344" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f1/Ghost_Godzilla.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="240" data-file-height="375" /></a><figcaption>Concept art by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Shinji_Nishikawa&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Shinji Nishikawa (page does not exist)">Shinji Nishikawa</a> for the scrapped concept of having <a href="/wiki/Godzilla_Junior" title="Godzilla Junior">Godzilla Junior</a> possessed by the spirit of the original 1954 Godzilla<sup id="cite_ref-nishikawa2016_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nishikawa2016-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></figcaption></figure> <p>After <i><a href="/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Mechagodzilla_II" title="Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II">Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Godzilla_vs._SpaceGodzilla" title="Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla">Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla</a></i> failed to match the attendance figures of the highly successful <i><a href="/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Mothra" title="Godzilla vs. Mothra">Godzilla vs. Mothra</a></i>, producer <a href="/wiki/Shogo_Tomiyama" class="mw-redirect" title="Shogo Tomiyama">Shogo Tomiyama</a> announced in the summer of 1995 that the next <i>Godzilla</i> movie would be the series' final installment. Screenwriter <a href="/wiki/Kazuki_%C5%8Cmori" title="Kazuki Ōmori">Kazuki Ōmori</a> initially proposed a story treatment entitled <i>Godzilla vs. Ghost Godzilla</i>, in which the current Heisei Godzilla would have faced off against the ghost of the original 1954 Godzilla.
