Godzilla Junior - Character Biography

Character Biography

Godzilla Junior first appeared in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II as an egg. Presuming it to be a Pteranodon egg, a scientific team unearthed it from Adona Island and shipped it to Japan for study. The egg displayed strange psychic properties, even imprinting itself upon the biologist Azusa Gojo, before finally hatching to reveal an infant Godzillasaurus, who is named Baby Godzilla. He was a harmless creature with teeth suitable only for chewing soft plant material. When Godzilla later appeared, having sought out Baby through an unexplained psychic link, Baby left with Godzilla, later settling on Birth Island.

By the time of Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Baby, who by now had grown to almost a third of Godzilla's height; (probably due to exposure to Godzilla's radiation). Now known as Little Godzilla, he interacted periodically with the human characters for a portion of the film, taking a particular liking to Major Yuki of G-Force and establishing a psychic bond with Miki Saegusa. Little One was injured and imprisoned in a cage of crystals by SpaceGodzilla upon his arrival to Earth and remained caged until SpaceGodzilla's defeat by the combined might of Godzilla and Moguera.

Little Godzilla continues to grow, and in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah is named Godzilla Junior. He had reached nearly half Godzilla's height. Junior proved himself to be quite a capable fighter, successfully defeating Destoroyah, though with difficulty. Junior is nearly killed during his second battle against Destoroyah at Haneda Airport, where Godzilla and Destoroyah soon fought. Unlike, his father, Junior has a very kind personality, even when older. Like his brother Minilla he is often very naive, seen playing with children in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II and saving Miki from Destroyah.
