## Summary

The **Third Generation Godzilla** (**三代目ゴジラ *Sandaime Gojira***) is a kaiju who first appeared in Godzilla's 1984 film The Return of Godzilla. He is the third film incarnation of the character.

30 years after the death of the original Godzilla, this Godzilla was awakened by a volcanic eruption at Daikoku Island in 1985, 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 Birth Island. After a year, Birth 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 Birth 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 Birth 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.

## Mentality

**Personality**: The Heisei Godzilla does not retain the heroic personality of the Showa Godzilla, but instead returns to the villainous persona of the original Godzilla. However, while the 1954 Godzilla appeared actively vengeful towards humanity, the Heisei Godzilla is initially portrayed as a sympathetic and tragic being who is simply lost in human civilization and trying to survive, causing destruction as a consequence. As the Heisei series progressed, Godzilla began actively causing destruction more often and was portrayed as the primary villain of several films. In *Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II*, Godzilla began transitioning into an anti-hero character, and once again raised an infant member of his species as his son, this time named Godzilla Junior. In the last two films of the Heisei series, Godzilla battled against monsters that were much more malevolent than himself, SpaceGodzilla and Destoroyah, while the human character Miki Saegusa insisted that Godzilla was actually an intelligent being with human-like sentiments. This is shown in *Godzilla vs. Destoroyah*, where Godzilla displays visible grief when his adopted son is killed by Destoroyah.

**Intelligence**: **Average**, He acts mostly on instinct, although he still has memories of Yasuaki Shindo leaving him to die when he was a Godzillasaurus. As Godzilla, he kills Shindo for revenge. In his battle against SpaceGodzilla, he understood that his foe was draining energy from the Fukuoka Tower, and with the help of Land Moguera, he destroyed the tower. He demonstrates emotions like sadness as he fails to resuscitate Godzilla Junior and sees his dead body.

**Weaknesses**: None notable | Susceptible to infection from the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria | Draining his nuclear reactor heart of nuclear energy fast enough will incapacitate him. Destroying the "*second brain*" in his lower torso paralyzes him, leaving him helpless. Absorbing too much radiation at once will turn him into his Burning form | Absorbing radiation accelerates his meltdown/burning, having his temperature brought down enough can potentially stop the meltdown, though the immense radiation will still be present.

## Arsenal

#### **Notable Attacks/Techniques**:

* **Atomic Heat Ray**: A powerful beam of atomic energy fired from Godzilla's mouth. The temperature of Godzilla's standard atomic breath in the Heisei series is 500,000 degrees Celsius.

* **Spiral Breath**: This version of Godzilla's atomic breath is typically portrayed as much more powerful than his normal atomic breath and is wrapped in an electrical spiral. It is used by Godzilla in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah to decapitate King Ghidorah's middle head after his normal atomic breath was shown having little to no effect on his enemy. The spiraling heat ray is still blue but is surrounded by a purple spiral of energy. Before Godzilla fires the spiral breath, his dorsal plates are surrounded in blue electricity.

* **Uranium Atomic Heat Ray**: A redder and more powerful version of Godzilla's atomic ray that was gained after Godzilla absorbed Fire Rodan's life energy. It has a temperature of 1.2 million degrees Celsius, which is hot enough to burn Godzilla's mouth.

* **Nuclear Fusion Heat Ray**: In Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Godzilla uses the runaway cosmic energy he absorbed after the destruction of SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals to fire a version of the spiral heat ray called the Nuclear Fusion Heat Ray. This beam only reaches a temperature of 900,000 degrees Celsius but demonstrates even more destructive power than the Hyper Uranium Heat Ray as it destroys both SpaceGodzilla and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. in three blasts, along with a large portion of Fukuoka.

* **Burning Heat Ray**: Burning Godzilla's default beam weapon, presumably a stronger form of the Spiral Fire Ray used by his previous form.

* **Infinite Heat Ray**: The strongest Red Spiral Ray was used by Burning Godzilla near the end of his battle against Destoroyah, when Godzilla's body was melting down and his unstable radiation was boosting the beam's power significantly. It is said to increase infinitely in power the more Godzilla uses it.

* **Nuclear Pulse**: An omnidirectional attack where Godzilla emits atomic energy from every inch of his body. He can also use this move to channel energy into his physical attacks.
