The humans in the films are under the impression that there is only one Godzilla, hence why they believe that removing a Godzillasaurus from the area of the H-bomb test will effectively remove Godzilla from history. What they didn't know is that there were actually two, and the one they removed was the very one that had raided Japan in 1984 and 1989. This is finally referenced in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, where they repeatedly refer to "the first Godzilla" being killed by the Oxygen Destroyer, finally establishing that the humans are aware that the 1954 and Heisei Godzillas are different individuals.
