~ Dr. Kensaku Ijuin on Destoroyah. |
Destoroyah (also known as Destroyah or Destroyer in the English dub) is the titular main antagonist of the 1995 Godzilla film Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.
He was born from a colony of Precambrian crustaceans mutated by the oxygen destroyer, the weapon used to kill the original Godzilla. As it assumes more powerful forms, Destoroyah seeks to destroy all life on Earth out of pure spite.
In his aggregated form, he is portrayed by Eiichi Yanagida, and in his final perfect form, he is portrayed by Ryo Hariya.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- Disintegrated a group of fish.
- Planned on committing mass genocide on all life on Earth.
- Tried to kill Godzilla Junior unprovoked.
- Tortured Godzilla Junior by stabbing him and injected him with micro-oxygen.
- Killed a lot of people with no remorse.
- Nearly killed Godzilla Jr. right in front of Godzilla who was just about to reunite with his son (again with no remorse) out of pure spite, revenge, and sadism.
- Like SpaceGodzilla before it, Destoroyah was fully aware of the pain and suffering he caused, taking immense pride in causing it as it was shown deliberately destroying cities.
- While it did technically have a Freudian excuse because it was mutated by humanity, it hardly excuses wanting to destroy all life.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- While Destoroyah is aware of the pain and suffering he causes like SpaceGodzilla, Gigan and Showa King Ghidorah, and clearly enjoys inflicting both on others, he ironically lacks clear moral agency; his malicious personality was attributed to mutation via. exposure to Oxygen Destroyer and doesn’t really know any better at all, Although considering he shows the ability to use mental warfare by killing Godzilla son in front of him, This is a very minor prevention
- He fails the heinous standards to Spacegodzilla, who tried to kill Godzilla's son too and Nearly committed mass genocide with less resources.
Trivia[]
- Destoroyah is, alongside Godzilla from Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monster All-Out Attack, and Megaguirus, one of the three kaiju/monsters from the Godzilla franchise to be Near Pure Evil.
- He was originally considered Pure Evil, but was removed due to moral agency issues.
