History

One of Toho monster designer Kaoru Kamigiku's pitches for a "Godzilla 7" antagonist. Super-Nuked Godzilla was a Godzillasaurus that had since been mutated almost beyond recognition due to continued exposure to nuclear tests, far more so than the Heisei-era Godzilla. The two atomic beasts would have eventually fought, with the Russian city of Vladivostok being their primary battleground.

However, Super-Nuked Godzilla was more than likely never seriously considered as, like Ghost Godzilla before it, Godzilla fighting another Godzilla-type monster was dismissed by both Toho and director Takao Okawara. Instead, attention would turn to the shapeshifting creature Barubaroi, from Godzilla vs. Barubaroi, to be the final opponent for the Heisei VS Series Godzilla.
