Godzilla vs. Destoroyah Plot Synopsis
An incident on Birth Island mutates nuclear fission in Godzilla's body, prompting greater power and aggression from the Monster King. The grandson of Dr. Yamane, Kenkichi, predicts it will cause Godzilla to explode, taking the world with it. Meanwhile, Kenkichi's sister, Yukari, worries that Dr. Ijuin's micro-oxygen is too similar to Dr. Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer. Ijuin discovers micro-oxygen is inadvertently evolving Precambrian lifeforms awoken by the Oxygen Destroyer's detonation in 1954. The creatures combine into Destoroyah which could be the only hope of stopping Godzilla. With a heavy heart, Miki Seagusa uses her waning powers to lure Godzilla and its child against the overwhelming foe. As Destoroyah's casualties rise the cost of battle may be too high.
