Akira Ifukube Returns! It's 1996 AD and Toho decide to freeze their Godzilla franchise, so what better way to go out with than a nuclear meltdown, which happens in GODZILLA VS. DESTOROYAH. Directed by Takao Okawara, the epic kaiju flick has Godzilla deadlier than ever before, with the absorption of uranium sending the temperature of his nuclear reactor heart soaring, which will ignite Earth's atmosphere and kill everybody when it explodes. Oh, and there's also another kaiju on the loose, the prehistoric mutation Destoroyah. It never rains but it pours! Returning to score GODZILLA VS. DESTOROYAH was Akira Ifukube, the man who created the Big G's sound in 1954. Fittingly, for his final film, he got to lay Godzilla to rest once again, but first brought back several of his older pieces for the mayhem, including the original Godzilla theme, with another repurposed for the amazing new Super-X3. Destoroyah also receives a terrifying theme with powerful brass, but even his strength isn't enough for Godzilla's awesome force. But with that comes the death of the Big G, and Ifukube composes a beautiful requiem for his final scene. The king is dead. Long live the king! (Charlie Brigden)

トラックリスト香港に出現したゴジラは、体内で発生した核分裂により赤く発光していた。このまま核分裂が暴走し続けると、ゴジラ自身が熱融解し、チャイナシンドロームを引き起こすことが判明する。Ｇ対策センターは、ゴジラを冷却して活動を一時停止させ、中性子制御剤のカドミウム弾を打ち込む。それによって核分裂の暴走は収まったが、ゴジラの進撃は抑えられなかった。そのころ酸素の研究の果てにミクロオキシジェンを発見した伊集院健作は、さらにそれを発展させたオキシジェンデストロイヤーの研究に取りかかっていた。彼はかつてその最終兵器が発動された東京湾の海底から泥を採取、研究所に持ち帰ってオキシジェンデストロイヤーの痕跡を求める。だがその泥の中では、地球太古の異生物・デストロイアの幼生が永い眠りから覚めようとしていた……。
