Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994)

Director: Kensho Yamashita

Written by: Kanji Kashiwa, Hiroshi Kashiwabara

Deep in outer space a massive crystalline object hurtles toward the Earth, destroying a deep space NASA station in the process. Eventually, this massive object strikes the Earth with great force, creating a structure of jagged crystalline outcrops.

In its latest attempt to destroy Godzilla, the G-Force has concocted two schemes, an attempt to peacefully manipulate the King of the Monsters using series regular Miki Saegusa and a psychic amplifier and a new battle robot called Moguera (Basically if you ordered MechaGodzilla from Wish).

This experiment is interrupted when Motha and The Cosmos appear to Miki, warning her of a terrible monster approaching the planet. Shortly after, the monstrous Space Godzilla arrives, easily defeating Godzilla and imprisoning his son in a crystal Prison.

It seems that at some point, most likely when Mothra left Earth, some of Godzilla's cells were transported into deep space, where they were consumed by a black hole and mutated into the creature known as Space Godzilla.

With Tokyo in its sight, the alien menace creates a new crystalline fortress to amplify its already fearsome telekinetic powers. It falls to Godzilla and Moguera to unite and crush this formidable foe, once and for all.

Featuring the most ambitious and explosive Kaiju battles yet seen and one of Godzilla's most intimidating foes, the penultimate film of the Heisei Era does not disappoint. Despite his wrathful nature, Godzilla's humanizing motivations, to protect his son, plant him firmly in the audience's favor this time around and would set the tone for the tragic finale that would soon follow.

The improved MogeGoji suit boasts a sturdy, triangular physique with broad shoulders and robust legs. Unlike its predecessors, the MogeGoji sports a neck that widens at the shoulders and exhibits less pronounced ribbing. Its facial features resemble those of the BatoGoji and RadoGoji suits, yet with slightly larger eyes and more pronounced white areas, resulting in a less intimidating expression.

Notably, the MogeGoji suit pioneered the inclusion of a mechanical mechanism allowing for multi-directional head movement, a departure from the conventional up-and-down motion. Additionally, it introduced a ventilation system aimed at cooling the actor wearing the suit during filming.
