Line 18:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Several connections with the original ''[[Gojira (Film)|Godzilla]]'' appear on this film:
** Emiko (played once again by Momoko Kochi mentioned above) senses Kensaku Ijuin's Micro-oxygen being smiliar to Daisuke Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer, thus, the flashback (with the stock footage from the original Godzilla) making the connection.
** Emiko's nightmare after Ken Yamane's [[Good Job Breaking It Hero]] moment (to some people, it doubles as [[What the Hell, Hero?]]) when he declares using the Oxygen Destroyer on Godzilla's current state. Emiko's nightmare sequence plays another flashback scene in which Ogata and Serizawa went underwater and Serizawa using the weapon underwater. Of course, Emiko and Miki Saegusa both object to this.
** Due to nature of the Oxygen Destroyer, it became a high octane nightmare fueled worthy when while it's the weapon to ever kill Godzilla, it ''mutated'' precambrian life-forms that could survive without oxygen. Similar to Godzilla's mutation of the H-Bomb testing, which could wipe out anything within proximity and mutated the poor creature. This returns one of the dark themes of the original [[Gojira (Film)|Godzilla]].
* [[Cool Plane]]: The Super-X III is capable of tanking Godzilla's fire head-on.
* [[Dead Line News]]: Averted, as Yukari Yamane was about to fall victim to one of the Destoroyahs until Kensaku saves her when Destoroyah blasts a car in half and flips the car over.
* [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells]]: The freeze rays, and several weapons that actually ''worked'' on a kaiju.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: The Super-X III is one of the few Anti-Kaiju weapons to actually A: Survive the end of the movie, and B: {{spoiler|win a battle against the Kaiju. It actually puts Godzilla ''down'' and slows his meltdown for several precious hours, and at the end of the movie, it and the Maser Cannons work together to finish Destroroyah off.}}
* [[Freeze Ray]]: The Super-X III and several modified Maser Tanks use these and freezing missiles against both Godzilla and Destoroyah {{spoiler|(They actually ''work'').}}
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Junior of course since [[Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla (Film)|Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla]], he seems accustomed to humans than his father (for obvious reasons). Played straight ''AND'' horribly averted when he saves Miki and her psychic partner from Destoroyah from destroying their helicopter. The aversion is due to him attacking whales in an earlier scene.
Line 31:
** [[Defeat Equals Explosion]]
** Averted with Godzilla, since he was thought to explode.
* [[One
* [[Posthumous Character]]: 3. Shinkichi Yamane (the boy in the photo with Dr. Yamane), Dr. Kyohei Yamane (Takashi Shimura), and Daisuke Serizawa (Akihiko Hirata).
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Godzilla's response to Destoroyah killing his son.
Line 38:
** Serizawa's picture, which is Akihiko Hirata, plus Ken's room, with has Kyohei's stegasaurus.
** The simulation if Godzilla explodes shows him behind the Wako clocktower and the Diet Building, the two monuments the original Godzilla destroys in the first film.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Is it Destoroyah, Destroyer, or Destroyah?
** Technically, the English version used ''Destroyer''.
** [[Word of God]] says "Destroyer" is the correct pronunciation, but rights issues with the word "Destroyer" caused the change in spelling to "Destroyah".
