Production

After Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II and Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla failed to match the attendance figures of the highly successful Godzilla vs. Mothra, producer Shogo Tomiyama announced in the summer of 1995 that the next Godzilla movie would be the series' final installment. In conceptualizing Godzilla's final adversary, screenwriter Kazuki Ōmori initially proposed a story treatment entitled Godzilla vs.

The character was initially going to be named "Barubaroi", though this was rejected on account of it sounding too similar to the Berbers, and thus could have been considered offensive. The Barubaroi designs were more chimeric, similar to the creature designs from The Thing, than the finalized Destoroyah look, though they shared Destoroyah's trait of surpassing Godzilla in height.

In the original script, the final battle was to have taken place in the then still under construction World City, a development project costing $2.35 billion, though Tokyo governor Yukio Aoshima scrapped the project on account of its unpopularity with taxpayers.

Toho promoted the movie via large placards featuring the kanji text ゴジラ死す ("Godzilla dies"). Five days prior to the film's release, a large bronze statue of Godzilla was erected on the Hibiya cinema district. After the film's release, several mourners gathered at the statue to leave ¥10-100 coins and tobacco.

Effects artist Koichi Kawakita originally envisioned Godzilla being luminescent, and coated a Godzilla suit with luminescent paint and reflective tape, though this was deemed to look too unnatural. The final product was the result of placing 200 small orange light bulbs on the suit previously used for Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla and covering them with semitransparent vinyl plates.
