Burning Godzilla's History
The Heisei Godzilla is a kaiju who first appeared in the 1984 Godzilla film The Return of Godzilla.
30 years after the death of the original Godzilla, this Godzilla was awakened by a volcanic eruption at Daikoku Island in 1984, and attacked the Fifth Yahata-Maru. He next made landfall at the Mihama Nuclear Power Plant, where he fed on the plant's reactor before suddenly departing. Godzilla then appeared in Tokyo Bay and came ashore, easily destroying the JSDF's forces. After damaging much of the heart of the city and destroying the defense aircraft Super X, Godzilla was lured to Mount Mihara by Dr. Hayashida's magnetic wave transmitter and sealed in the volcano's crater by a controlled eruption. Five years later, Godzilla was released from his volcanic prison by explosives following a botched ransoming by the terrorist group Bio-Major. Godzilla battled the Super X2 at sea before arriving at Lake Ashi, where he fought and defeated the plant monster Biollante who was created from his cells. Godzilla moved on to Osaka, where he was successfully infected by the JSDF's new biological weapon: the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria (ANEB). Godzilla engaged the JSDF again at Wakasa Bay, where they attempted to raise his body temperature so the ANEB could take effect. There, he was attacked by Biollante's second form and forced to retreat after the ANEB began affecting him. The ocean lowered Godzilla's body temperature enough to allow him to survive underwater, where he remained in hibernation in the Sea of Japan for two years.
In 1992, time-traveling terrorists called the Futurians attempted to erase Godzilla from history by moving a Godzillasaurus from Lagos Island to the Bering Sea in 1944, believing it would prevent the creature from being exposed to the Castle Bravo H-bomb test in 1954. Instead, a nuclear submarine crashed in the dinosaur's vicinity sometime prior to 1984, mutating it into Godzilla anyway. When the Japanese government, in a misguided attempt to try and recreate Godzilla so he could defeat the Futurians' pawn King Ghidorah, sent a nuclear submarine to the Bering Sea where they believed the Godzillasaurus was, it was intercepted by Godzilla. Godzilla fed on the submarine's nuclear energy, revitalizing him and causing him to grow from 80 to 100 meters in height. Godzilla fought and defeated King Ghidorah in Hokkaido, then swiftly turned his wrath on the rest of Japan. Emmy Kano, a defector from the Futurians, traveled to the year 2204 and converted King Ghidorah's comatose body into Mecha-King Ghidorah, then returned to the present day to engage Godzilla in Tokyo, eventually carrying him out to sea. The following year, Godzilla was awakened by a meteor impact, and appeared off the coast of the Philippines to attack Mothra's egg as it was being transported. While battling the newly-hatched Mothra, Godzilla was attacked by the larval Battra, with both monsters eventually being swallowed by the Philippine Trench. Godzilla resurfaced from Mount Fuji and approached Yokohama, where the imago Mothra and Battra joined forces to defeat him. In 1994, the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center completed Mechagodzilla, a robot weapon created using components salvaged from Mecha-King Ghidorah. When Godzilla tried to recover BabyGodzilla, an infant Godzillasaurus in the U.N.G.C.C.'s care, Mechagodzilla was deployed to attack him, and nearly killed him before Fire Rodan transferred his life force into Godzilla and revitalized him. Godzilla proceeded to destroy Mechagodzilla and adopt BabyGodzilla as his son, then took up residence with him on Baas Island. After a year, Baas Island was invaded by SpaceGodzilla, an evil extraterrestrial clone of Godzilla himself. SpaceGodzilla captured Godzilla's son, now larger and known as LittleGodzilla, forcing Godzilla to pursue SpaceGodzilla to Fukuoka. With the help of G-Force's robot MOGUERA, Godzilla defeated SpaceGodzilla and freed his son.
In 1996, uranium deposits under Baas Island ignited, overloading Godzilla with atomic energy and causing him to become Burning Godzilla (バーニングゴジラ Bāningu Gojira). In this state, Godzilla's nuclear heart threatened to explode and destroy the planet with it. Godzilla was temporarily frozen by the Super X3, successfully bringing his heart's fission under control, but his heart soon began to break down and overheat instead. Now, he would undergo a catastrophic nuclear meltdown which would destroy the Earth as well. G-Force formed a strategy to lure Godzilla to Tokyo using his son, now grown into Godzilla Junior after the Baas Island explosion, where he would hopefully be killed by the new monster Destoroyah. After Godzilla arrived at Haneda Airport and reunited with his son, Destoroyah attacked them and killed Junior. Godzilla engaged in his final battle against Destoroyah, finally bringing the demon down with the assistance of the JSDF. When Godzilla's heart finally began to melt down, the JSDF used their freezer weapons to freeze him as he melted down, successfully minimizing the damage. The deadly radiation emitted by Godzilla's meltdown was subsequently absorbed into Junior's lifeless body, reviving him and maturing him into the next Godzilla.
