The seventeenth [[Godzilla]] film and sequel to [[The Return of Godzilla (Film)|The Return of Godzilla]]. This film is notable for introducing psychic Miki Saegusa, who would go on to become the longest serving human character in the Godzilla series. The story originates from a script contest Toho held, which was eventually won by a dentist. While no means a classic, the film is praised for being a creative and imaginative entry. This would be the last Godzilla film to be distributed to the United States due to the incident with ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (Film)|Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'', which would not be released until 1998 to tie in with the [[Godzilla (Filmfilm)|American film]].
 
World politics are kept and joined with the dark underbelly of energy revolution and espionage. After Godzilla's rampage in Tokyo, various groups scramble to get their hands on Godzilla's cells for their own profit. In spite of four years passing since Godzilla's fall into Mt. Mihara the Japanese have created counter measures for Godzilla and wish to use his cells to create a defense against him, with fears they will create a greater threat. However, Dr. Shiragami has already taken one step too far into learning the unknown...

=== This film contains examples of: ===
 
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The Manga adaptation explains that Miki's parents were killed during Godzilla's attack on Tokyo in 1984.
* [[Badass]]: Gondo and SSS9. Yes, SSS9 is still a bad guy, but he is also undeniably a badass.
Line 24 ⟶ 22:
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Still very, very dark and only lighter because there isn't a nuclear war hanging over the entire film.
* [[Mid-Season Upgrade]]: The Super-X 2. Unfortunately, the fire-mirror only works for a short while, and it doesn't have any cadmium or flares to distract the monster.
* [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands]]: The first time Godzilla uses his thermo shockwave trick. For the rest of the 90s he used it roughly once per movie.
** It was even given an official name by Toho, the Nuclear Pulse.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Breaking It, Villain]]: [[SSS 9]], the Saradian agent, is responsible for Godzilla's return when he prematurely kills the American agent before he can turn off the detonator in the truck. He also is responsible for stealing the Godzilla cells from the American spies in the beginning of the film. In many ways, [[SSS 9]] is indirectly responsible for most of the action in the film.
