Description

Origins
Ghost Godzilla was originally conceived as a pitch by Shogo Tomiyama, who envisioned the monster as a collective of bioenergy, that would unite over the course of 40 years, following its destruction at the hands of the Oxygen Destroyer.

The Oxygen Destroyer's original function was altered for this, and instead of Godzilla being disintegrated by the device, it'd instead cause a 10,000 year timeskip to occur in an instant, which is what destroyed his body and bones, but not his life force and consciousness.

Once the monster coalesced, it'd possess Godzilla Junior, with the resulting forced growth causing the monster's skin to begin tearing apart, in an attempt to replicate its once powerful form. Now in a new form, Ghost Godzilla would then target the second Godzilla of the time, and attempt to possess it to become more powerful.

Godzilla vs. Godzilla (Story Plan A)
Kazuki Omori would run with this proposal, and create a draft that deviated slightly from the original plan. In the plot to this proposed film, Ghost Godzilla was to have an origin similar to the Millennium Mechagodzilla, where the disturbance of its bones would result in its resurgence. Its attacks would be in similar areas to where it once roamed, in an effort to recover the last of its disturbed bones.

As its final bone was relocated, Godzilla would cease attacking for some time, but return in the form of Aurora Godzilla. Using this form, Little Godzilla would be possessed, and as the original Godzilla now possessed a body, it would begin another reign of destruction. This would only be stopped once the second Godzilla defeated Little Godzilla, to which the last bone of Godzilla would be destroyed, shattering to dust. The remnants of Ghost Godzilla's energy would mix with this dust and the end result would be Crystal Godzilla.

The concept of Ghost Godzilla, despite receiving multiple drafts and submissions would ultimately go unused. This was scrapped as Godzilla's previous two enemies, Mechagodzilla and SpaceGodzilla, resembled him aesthetically. Director Takao Okawara said that "having three movies in a row where Godzilla fights a monster that resembles him is just too much," so the project was dropped in favor of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.

Abilities
[1st version] Atomic Ray; invisible to the human eye; instantaneous movement; levitation; able to pass through solid objects; can spit ectoplasm from mouth to create alter egos; can freely control the environment using its bioenergy; body possession; able to corrupt the hearts of others with its evil influence; can mutate possessed victim's body into self's original living appearance or revert to host's original appearance; may leave host in a state of suspended animation when exorcised; can manifest itself into a visible Aurora Godzilla form; can physically materialize by mixing its life energy with the dust of one of its bones to become Crystal Godzilla
[2nd version] Atomic Ray; able to manifest itself without the need of a conduit.
