History

A relatively short-lived concept developed for the final Godzilla movie of the Heisei era, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995). Immediately following the meltdown of Burning Godzilla, Godzilla Junior would have absorbed his father's radiation and experienced rapid growth to become the next generation of Godzilla in the form of New Godzilla. In the end, however, for the convenience of scheduling and budget, it was instead decided to reuse the Burning Godzilla suit with the LEDs and smoking effects off. While New Godzilla went unused, the idea behind it lived on in the form of Godzilla (Rebirth).

Trivia
  • Several concepts had their influence taken from the more dinosaur-like appearance of Godzillasaurus.
  • Some designs incorporated the aspects of older Godzilla incarnations, such as the 1964 design from Mothra vs. Godzilla and the 1962 design from King Kong vs. Godzilla.
