Baas Island

Baas Island (バース島,   Bāsutō) is a fictional island in the Pacific Ocean which serves as the home of Godzilla and LittleGodzilla in the film Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla.

Name

Baas Island's name was likely intended as a transliteration of the English word "birth" (バース,   bāsu). The translation Birth Island is occasionally used, such as in The Official Godzilla Compendium,[1] and more recently the video games Godzilla for the PS4, Godzilla Defense Force and Godzilla Battle Line. The island's name is nonetheless translated as "Baas Island" by dialogue and on-screen text in the international export version of Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla.[2]

History

Heisei era

The remains of Baas Island in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla

Baas Island is introduced as a lush island idyll that is home primarily to LittleGodzilla, whilst Godzilla comes ashore frequently to look after him. A group of U.N.G.C.C. researchers also visit the island. It is here where SpaceGodzilla makes his first attack on Earth, and captures LittleGodzilla in a series of crystals after temporarily incapacitating Godzilla. After SpaceGodzilla flies off, Godzilla gives chase, and leaves the island. After SpaceGodzilla is defeated by both Godzilla and MOGUERA, LittleGodzilla is set free from his crystal prison, and jumps about for joy.

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

When uranium deposits on Baas Island unexpectedly ignited, the ensuing explosion devastated the island, leaving behind only a few smoldering rocks. This explosion also overloaded both Godzilla and LittleGodzilla with nuclear energy, causing the former's body to begin melting down and the latter to rapidly grow into Godzilla Junior. With nowhere left to live, Junior decided that he would travel north to his birthplace: Adonoa Island, in the Bering Sea.
