'''''Godzilla vs. Biollante''''' {{Nihongo|ゴジラ{{tt|VS|たい}}ビオランテ|Gojira {{tt|tai|alternatively 'buiesu'}} Biorante}} is a [[1989]] [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Kaiju Films|kaiju film]] produced by [[Toho]], and the seventeenth installment in the [[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla series]] as well as the second in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]]. The film was released to [[Japan]]ese theaters on December 16, [[1989]].<ref name="Godzilla.jp">[http://godzilla.jp/work/17/ ゴジラVSビオランテ|ゴジラ 東宝公式サイト] (official [[Godzilla.jp]] page)</ref><br />
<br />
The first ''Godzilla'' film to be released during the actual political Heisei period of [[Japan]], ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' picks up directly where ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'' left off. In the wake of [[Godzilla/Heisei|Godzilla's]] attack on [[Tokyo]], his cells have become a coveted scientific resource, with governments and the terrorist organization [[Bio-Major]] fighting over them. Five years later, Dr. [[Genshiro Shiragami]] uses a sample of G-Cells to try and preserve his deceased daughter's cells within a rose, unintentionally creating the hybrid [[kaiju]] [[Biollante]]. In addition, a botched terrorist ransoming by Bio-Major results in Godzilla being released from his prison within [[Mount Mihara]]. As the [[JSDF]] prepares to fight back against Godzilla with its new array of weaponry, Godzilla converges on Biollante's location at [[Lake Ashi]], setting up a battle in which the winner will be humanity's biggest enemy.<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
In [[1984]], a scientific team picks through the ruins of [[Tokyo]], searching for tissue samples left behind by the monster [[Godzilla/Heisei|Godzilla]] following his rampage there only a few hours earlier. The creature had returned after 30 years, and had reduced Tokyo to rubble. After destroying the [[JSDF]]'s [[Super X]], the monster had been lured to [[Mount Mihara]], where an eruption had been triggered that sealed the titan within the volcano. The scientific team soon find what they are looking for, but as they continue to search, a team of American paramilitary soldiers working for a United States-based genetics research company called [[Bio-Major]] ambushes them and steals the cell samples. As they flee with their prize, they are ambushed themselves by a lone mercenary, who kills the commandos and steals the cells back. The mysterious man, a killer known only as [[SSS9]], then takes the cells to the Republic of [[Saradia]], an OPEC nation in the Middle East, where Japanese geneticist [[Genshiro Shiragami]] and his daughter [[Erika Shiragami|Erika]] take charge of them. Shiragami is working with the Saradian government on a project to genetically breed a new species of plant capable of living in the arid Saradian deserts. This, the government hopes, will gradually take the country away from relying only on oil exports for profit, and will hopefully make them the world's largest grain exporter. However, before this can become a reality, the lab where the Godzilla cells are being stored is bombed by Bio-Major agents, and the cells are destroyed. Erika is killed in the blast, and the distraught scientist returns to Japan, unwilling to continue his research.<br />
<br />
Over five years later, in 1990, Japan has, for the most part, recovered from Godzilla's attack. Shiagami lives in solitude in a laboratory on the shores of [[Lake Ashi]], and has kept Erika's keep-sake roses alive for all this time, and has even spliced her genes into the plants in hopes that she might continue to live within them. After five years of wondering if this is even possible, he calls the Japanese Psyonics Research Center, who sends [[Miki Saegusa]] to test the roses for psychic energy. Miki, only seventeen years old, is an incredibly gifted psychic, and as she analyzes the roses, she can hear the voice of a girl calling the name of [[Asuka Okouchi]], a former friend of Erika who accompanied Miki to Shiragami's lab. As the two women leave, they do not know that they are being watched. In the trees rests a truck, and from the window two Bio-Major agents, [[John Lee]] and Michael Low, look on. As it turns out, they have been watching Shiragami for several years. Little do they know that they too are under surveillance. Behind them, the Saradian agent that stole the Godzilla cells in 1984 watches in silence.<br />
<br />
Asuka Okouchi is the daughter of Seido Okochi, founder and head of the Okochi Foundation, a genetic research institute. Her boyfriend, Kazuhito Kirishima, is a geneticist as well, but has recently become very concerned with the ethics of his work. He believes that if the scientists are not careful, they may create something terrible, something never intended to exist on the planet Earth. He fears that Okouchi's view of science, that being a way to gain power and money, goes against what science is really all about. However, as he is dating Okouchi's daughter and his lab is funded by the Okouchi Foundation, there is little he can do to voice his opinions.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, a small eruption at Mt. Mihara begins to worry the Japanese government. Godzilla has remained interred within the mountain for the last five years, and it is now becoming clear that the creature is stirring within. The Japanese begin their planning for the monster's return, and prepare several defenses. Lt. [[Sho Kuroki]] of the JSDF, along with [[Goro Gondo]] of the National Land Bureau's Godzilla Unit, begin to organize and prepare. The JSDF has constructed the [[Super X2]], a vastly improved version of the machine that fought Godzilla in 1984. The machine is now semi-aquatic, capable of functioning under water, and now features a vast array of weapons. The new mech also possesses a "Fire Mirror," a gigantic lens composed of synthetic diamond capable of deflecting Godzilla's atomic ray back at him at over one thousand times the force. The government also has another trick up their sleeves: they are planning to develop a biological weapon called the [[Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria]] (ANEB). The bacteria, designed to break down nuclear energy, was originally intended to clean up atomic waste. However, as the bacteria eats nuclear material, it could, theoretically, be used against Godzilla, who feeds off nuclear energy. However, the ANEB cannot be created without Godzilla cells. As it turns out, the cells of the King of the Monsters contain a special set of nuclear-eating genes that are used to allow the creature to derive energy from nuclear materials. These genes are needed to make the ANEB, and much like snake venom can be used to create an antidote for snake poisoning, it is believed that the G-cells can be used to create a bacteria that can poison and kill Godzilla himself. A group of cells recovered in 1984 are now stored at the Okouchi Foundation, safe from terrorists such as the Bio-Major agents. Kirishima and Kuroki attempt to lobby Dr. Shiragami to join the project, but he flatly refuses. He blames the G-cells for his daughter's death five years earlier, and has no intention of getting involved with them again.<br />
<br />
Several days later, Mt. Mihara erupts, spewing lava all across [[Izu Oshima]]. The resulting earthquakes are felt as far away as Shiragami's lab. The earthquake damages the terrarium containing Erika's roses. Fearing that Erika may die if the roses perish, he formulates a plan. He joins the ANEB project, but only on one condition: he is to keep the Godzilla cells for the one week until the project begins. On a dark and stormy night, Shiragami sits alone in his lab. Before him lie several rose petals and the Godzilla cells. Under his microscope, he carefully isolates one G-cell and one cell from the rose, and then, ever so carefully, combines the two together. Now, he hopes, his daughter will live forever in a plant given the regenerative properties of Godzilla himself.<br />
<br />
Several days later, Bio-Major's agents break into Shiragami's lab. Unbeknownst to them, SSS9 also breaks in. When the thieves and the assassin catch each other, a gunfight ensues. It is interrupted by an attack of a giant, mobile plant that kills Low and attacks SSS9. Lee flees, while the assassin barely escapes from the plant's grasp. They do not realize that they have just encountered the result of Dr. Shiragami's secret experiments. The next morning a giant flower is seen in Lake Ashi, and Dr. Shiragami confesses that he combined the DNA of roses with Godzilla cells, believing he had created an immortal plant species. Furthermore, he confesses to Asuka, Miki and Kirishima that in a fit of desperate grief, he added Erika's DNA to the mutated genetic structure, so that some of the creature is composed of Erika as well. He names his creation [[Biollante]], after a plant spirit from Norse mythology. Miki remarks that she can hear Erika's spirit inside Biollante, crying out in fear.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Bio-Major anonymously sends a letter to the [[National Diet Building|Diet]] of Japan, informing them that they have planted several bombs inside Mt. Mihara. If the Anti-Nuclear Bacteria is not handed over, the company threatens to detonate the bombs and release Godzilla. With the country held hostage, the Diet is forced to comply, sending Colonel Gondo and Dr. Kirishima to hand over the ANEB to Bio-Major's agent John Lee. However, the exchange is interrupted when SSS9 opens fire on them before the explosives can be disarmed. Lee tries to drive away in his truck, but is killed by a sniper bullet to the head, causing the truck to be overturned. SSS9 retrieves the ANEB and escapes, while Gondo and Kirishima are unable to disarm the explosives. Godzilla is released as Mt. Mihara erupts. Upon hearing Godzilla's roar, Biollante's blossom opens, and the monstrous plant begins calling out to Godzilla. Miki remarks that Erika's spirit is seemingly no longer in control of Biollante, leaving the creature a violent monster that is part Godzilla and part rose. With Godzilla's destination made clear, the JSDF, under the leadership of Sho Kuroki, prepare their strategies for dealing with the King of the Monsters. The Super X2 is deployed against Godzilla in the [[Pacific Ocean|ocean]], and though it at first seems effective in combating Godzilla, it is eventually overwhelmed by Godzilla's atomic breath, and is forced to retreat. After the battle, Godzilla comes ashore in Japan and approaches Lake Ashi, where Biollante is rooted. Shiragami wonders if Godzilla came all this way to see Biollante because he knew they were made from the same cells. As Godzilla stares at the monstrous plant, Biollante panics and attacks him, and a huge battle ensues, and briefly it appears that there is a stalemate. However, Godzilla seemingly defeats Biollante by burning her alive with his atomic breath, only for it to be revealed that Biollante is immortal as she escapes by dissolving into spores that float into outer space. Victorious for now and running low on nuclear energy following his last two battles, Godzilla heads towards the nearest operational nuclear reactor, which is located in Tsuruga, on the other side of the country. The military is sent out to meet Godzilla at Ise Bay. However, Godzilla unexpectedly surfaces in [[Osaka Bay]], avoiding a confrontation with the JSDF. Miki tries to help, attempting to make Godzilla turn away from [[Osaka]] using her psychic abilities. Her efforts distract Godzilla momentarily, but the force of Godzilla's will and his psychic brainpower overwhelms her, causing her to faint. A plan is put into action, involving infecting Godzilla with the ANEB, which was retrieved by Gondo and Kirishima from the Saradia Oil Corporation's Osaka office. Kuroki sends the still-damaged Super X2 to distract Godzilla while Gondo and his team prepare rockets loaded with ANEB. Godzilla destroys the craft with a blast of atomic breath, but Gondo and his team manage to get in position. Godzilla is infected with three rockets, including one fired directly into his mouth, but he kills Gondo and continues on, seemingly unaffected by the ANEB.<br />
<br />
The failure of the bacteria to work is attributed to Godzilla's low body temperature, which keeps the bacteria in a near-dormant state. If Godzilla can be heated, Shiragami theorizes, then the ANEB should work. The JSDF develops another plan: force Godzilla onto a field of [[M6000 T.C. System|microwave-emitting plates]] during an artificial thunderstorm, where he will be heated by the microwaves and a unit of [[MBT-MB92]] [[Maser Cannon]]s. The operation begins, and while Godzilla does briefly seem to weaken, he easily destroys the JSDF's forces. Just as everything seems lost, a low rumble is heard and Biollante's spores rain down from the sky. Suddenly, Biollante's gigantic evolved form emerges from the ground, obliterating the JSDF's remaining forces. Biollante attacks Godzilla and this time has the advantage. She stabs Godzilla with her spear-tipped tendrils and spits corrosive sap onto him. When Biollante attempts to bite down on Godzilla's head, he fires his atomic breath directly into her mouth, causing it to explode out the back of her head. Godzilla then begins to be affected by the ANEB, due to Biollante's corrosive sap raising his temperature. Godzilla tries to walk away but collapses headfirst into the ocean. With Godzilla temporarily knocked out, Biollante dissolves into spores and escapes into space again. As the monster's essence floats upwards, Dr. Shiragami sees the image of his daughter among the spores. Miki says that Biollante had told them "Thank you" as she floated into the atmosphere. Calling out to his daughter, Shiragami walks forward and is fatally shot by SSS9, who was ordered by his government to kill Shiragami now that the cells were lost. Dr. Kirishima chases the agent and fights him. The agent is at a disadvantage until he is able to grab his weapon again. The Saradian agent attempts to kill Kirishima, but Major Kuroki activates an artificial lightning generator that SSS9 is standing on, disintegrating him. Kirishima and Asuka celebrate their victory when Godzilla suddenly rises, his body temperature lowered by the water. However, Godzilla simply swims away, leaving Japan safe for the time being. Kirishima and Asuka leave together in Kirishima's car. The body of Dr. Shiragami is placed inside a tent, Dr. Okouchi briefly mourning him before leaving. Erika is heard to briefly comment on the recent events. Godzilla is seen swimming away, while Biollante is visible as a giant rose floating near the Earth in outer space.<br />

==Production==<br />
''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' began as a winner of a contest by Toho. The concept was created by Shinichiro Kobayashi, a dentist, though his script was widely different from the final film. The few parts that remained were Erika's death, Biollante's creation, a psychic girl, and for the most part, the ending. This first draft also had Dr. Shiragami create a rat-fish hybrid monster named [[Deutalios]] who was quickly killed by Godzilla. This was cut and replaced by Godzilla's battles with Biollante's rose stage and the [[Super X2]]. In another ending, Biollante begins to lose and makes a final attempt to kill Godzilla by turning into a wave of pure energy which Godzilla would absorb.<br />

After ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' was released in Japan, Toho commissioned a [[Hong Kong]]-based company called [[Omni Productions]] to dub the film into English for their international version. In early 1990, Toho entered discussions with Miramax to distribute the film. When talks broke off, Toho filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles Federal Court, accusing Miramax of entering an oral agreement in June to pay Toho $500,000 to distribute the film. This lawsuit delayed the film's release for two years. An out of court settlement was reached with Miramax buying the rights to the film for an unreported figure. While Miramax had entertained thoughts of releasing the film in theaters, but in the end it was decided to release the film straight to home video instead. HBO released the film on VHS in 1992 and Laserdisc in 1993. Miramax utilized the uncut English international version of the film for this release. The international version of the film was released on video in the United States by HBO Video in association with Miramax via Dimension Studios on November 25, 1992. The film was released on laserdisc the next year. ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' was released on DVD and Blu-ray disc in North America by Echo Bridge Entertainment through Miramax on December 4, 2012.<br />
<br />
''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' was the last new Godzilla film to receive a release in the United States until [[TriStar Pictures]] released ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'' and ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'' on VHS in [[1998]]. ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' was also the last Toho Godzilla film to receive its own international English-language title card. For every film since, Toho has elected to simply digitally superimpose the international title over the Japanese title card (except in the case of ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'', whose original title card is in English).<br />

==Box office==<br />
''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' had a budget of ¥700,000,000, or $5,000,000. When the film opened in Japan on December 16, 1989, it sold 2,000,000 tickets, earning ¥1,040,000,000, or roughly $7,000,000. Though the film was not a financial failure, it did not perform to Toho's expectations, causing them to place the series on a brief two-year hiatus and elect to bring back [[King Ghidorah]] for the next film.<br />

==Novelizations==<br />
A novelization of Shinichiro Kobayashi's original story for ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' is included in the 1993 publication ''Great Monster War (Monster Novel Complete Works II)'' from the Publishing Arts Company. In Kobayashi's initial story, key elements from the final film such as the [[Super X2]], [[Miki Saegusa]], and the [[Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria]] are not present. [[Genshiro Shiragami|Dr. Shiragami]] creates a synthetic rat-fish hybrid called [[Deutalios]] while in the process of creating [[Biollante]]. Deutalios escapes Shiragami's lab and grows to gigantic size, then proceeds to attack nearby ships out at sea. While battling the [[JSDF]], Deutalios is confronted by [[Godzilla/Heisei|Godzilla]]. The hybrid kaiju tries to escape onto land, but becomes weakened when out of water. Godzilla pursues Deutalios and finally kills it, then eats its corpse. A rough sketch of Deutalios by Kobayashi is included in the novelization.<br />
<br />
A novelization of the story of the completed film was also published by [[Kadokawa]]. While it was developed alongside the movie, it itself contains many original elements. The [[Super X2]] is codenamed the "Angler," and is equipped with a laser cannon instead of the Fire Mirror. Biollante possesses a heat ray in this novelization. Finally, neither Shiragami nor [[Goro Gondo]] are killed in the novelization.<br />
==Manga adaptations==<br />
{{main|Godzilla vs. Biollante (manga)|Godzilla 1990}}<br />
''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' received two different manga adaptations. The [[Godzilla vs. Biollante (manga)|first]], illustrated by Tatsuyoshi Kobayashi and published by [[Shogakukan]], is a mostly faithful adaptation of the film. The battle between [[Godzilla/Heisei|Godzilla]] and [[Biollante]] at [[Lake Ashi]] plays out somewhat differently, while earlier Biollante's Flower Beast Form kills a human on a boat by crushing him in one of her mouthed vines. The most radical departure is the manga's ending, which utilizes a scrapped sequence considered for the film itself where Biollante finishes off Godzilla after he collapses from the [[Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria]]. Once the ANEB finally takes effect, Godzilla attempts to fire his atomic breath at Biollante, only for it to fail. He tries to retreat before finally collapsing to the ground. Rather than retreat, Biollante approaches Godzilla before breaking apart into energy spores and flowing into his body, taking the form of a gigantic rose bud surrounding him. As Biollante's essence flows away from Godzilla's lifeless body, [[Erika Shiragami|Erika's]] face becomes visible in the sky, with [[Miki Saegusa]] reporting that Biollante says "thank you." Despite seemingly perishing, Godzilla revives shortly afterward and wades out to sea, just as he does in the film itself.<br />
<br />
A different manga adaptation titled ''[[Godzilla 1990]]'' was illustrated by Toshihiro Hirano and published by [[Kadokawa]]. In this adaptation, the [[Super X2]]'s design is drastically different, while Godzilla and Biollante's final battle takes place in [[Osaka]] rather than Wakasa Bay.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*While it is the second entry in the [[Heisei era|Heisei series]] of [[Godzilla (franchise)|Godzilla]] films, ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' was the first Godzilla film to actually be released during [[Japan]]'s political Heisei period.<br />
*The [[Oxygen Destroyer]] makes a cameo in this film - very briefly in [[Goro Gondo|Colonel Gondo]]'s office, the camera shot shows a statue of the [[KingGoji]] suit on the desk, and the Oxygen Destroyer is shown resting against the wall.<br />
*Special effects director [[Koichi Kawakita]] experimented with cell animation and stop-motion for the final fight between [[Godzilla]] and [[Biollante]], but neither technique was used in the finished film.<br />
*On March 17, 1992, as pre-production work was under way on ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]'', someone sneaked into Toho's special effects department and stole one of the two [[BioGoji]] Godzilla suits that was used in both ''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' and ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'', and which was slated to be used in the new film as well. A "Godzilla hunt" was launched for the stolen costume, valued at about $371,000, and it ended when an elderly woman found it in a bamboo patch in the suburbs about a week later (reported in ''The Hollywood Reporter'', March 26, 1992). While the costume was missing, Koichi Kawakita's staff began work on a new one, [[BatoGoji]].<br />
*This is the first Godzilla film for actor [[Koichi Ueda]], who would play a role in every Godzilla film afterward until ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]''.<br />
*''Godzilla vs. Biollante'' received a PG rating from the MPAA for "traditional Godzilla violence."<ref name="MPAA">[http://www.filmratings.com/search.html?filmTitle=Godzilla+vs.+Biollante&x=0&y=0 Search Results]</ref> Ironically, it is one of the most violent films in the series.<br />

<div>[[File:G54od.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Daisuke Serizawa]]'s research into micro-oxygen ultimately resulted in the production of a single [[Oxygen Destroyer]].]]<br />
'''Micro-Oxygen''' {{Nihongo|ミクロオキシゲン|Mikuro Okishigen}} is a powerful fictional chemical compound which is presumably created from the atmospheric elemental gas oxygen. It is a major ingredient of the deadly [[Oxygen Destroyer]].<br />
{{TOC}}<br />
==Chemical Properties==<br />
While not mentioned by name in ''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]'', it is explained that Micro-Oxygen's most powerful attribute is its corrosive properties, being able to reduce almost any living organism down to a skeleton in minutes. The properties of Micro-Oxygen are expanded upon in ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]'', where [[Kensaku Ijuin]]'s experiments reveal that Micro-Oxygen has the power to create as well as destroy. Ijuin discovered that small amounts of concentrated Micro-Oxygen made fish grow larger, and with this information he intended to market the chemical as a product to solve the world's hunger problem.<br />
==History==<br />
===[[Showa era|Showa series]]===<br />
====''[[Godzilla (1954 film)|Godzilla]]''====<br />
[[Daisuke Serizawa]] unintentionally developed a device called the [[Oxygen Destroyer]] while studying and experimenting with oxygen. Serizawa presumably discovered and experimented with micro-oxygen during this process, however the substance is never mentioned by name or alluded to in the film.<br />
===[[Heisei era|Heisei series]]===<br />
====''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]''====<br />
42 years after the events of 1954, physicist [[Kensaku Ijuin]] rediscovered the chemical compound used in the [[Oxygen Destroyer]] through his own experiments, dubbing it Micro-Oxygen and intending to use it to benefit humanity. Ijuin said that micro-oxygen could allow deep-sea divers to use lighter tanks that contain more oxygen, and an experiment showed that any fish raised in water containing micro-oxygen would grow much larger than normal fish, potentially alleviating the world's hunger problem. Ijuin admitted that micro-oxygen atoms were capable of penetrating any material and unleashing large amounts of energy, and would make a very effective weapon despite not being intended for the purpose. [[Yukari Yamane]], heeding a warning from her aunt [[Emiko Yamane|Emiko]], asked Ijuin if he was aware that micro-oxygen was very similar to Daisuke Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer. Ijuin stated that he consulted some of Serizawa's surviving work during his experiments, but never intended to recreate the Oxygen Destroyer, because his studies performed on the underwater soil where the Oxygen Destroyer was fired revealed that it could have reduced Tokyo to a graveyard if used on land. [[Kenkichi Yamane]] approached Ijuin and asked him to use micro-oxygen to re-invent the Oxygen Destroyer, believing it was the only way to destroy [[Godzilla]] before he could destroy the world. However, Ijuin had already discovered that the Oxygen Destroyer mutated several prehistoric crustaceans in Tokyo Bay in 1954, and that these creatures had evolved abnormally to manipulate micro-oxygen within their own bodies. Hoping to stop the creatures, Ijuin ran more experiments with micro-oxygen and discovered that it liquefied at low temperatures and was rendered ineffective. Ijuin urged the military to use freezer weapons against the creatures, as it should neutralize the micro-oxygen in their bodies and kill them. However, the creatures combined together into a single giant monster, and the chemical composition of their bodies changed once more. Ijuin noted that the creatures had become the living Oxygen Destroyer, dubbing it "[[Destoroyah]]."<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Though the exact chemical composition or processes of micro-oxygen are never discussed, it is implied that micro-oxygen atoms are simply miniaturized oxygen atoms that contain more chemical energy than normal oxygen atoms. When weaponized as the Oxygen Destroyer, micro oxygen can cause violent and corrosive chemical reactions that penetrate or disintegrate virtually any material.<br />
