This one did not make me want to return to that well. Despite his powerful attacks and surprisingly high intelligence, Gamera lost to Godzilla because he had more combat experience, much greater endurance (he once survived being hit by a giant, city destroying meteor without a scratch and Gamera almost died after being hit by a much weaker nuclear explosion), was far greater in size and strength (he is multiple times bigger and heavier than Gamera and has lifted monsters even bigger than himself, even matching Marvel's Thor in strength), with a powerful attack called the "Red Spiral Ray", which has obliterated Kaiju much stronger than himself, such as SpaceGodzilla and Mechagodzilla.Rewatch Value 1.5 Having exhausted my list of Gojira movies, I dipped into the well of Gamera flicks. Gamera was featured in an episode of Screwattack's online series, Death Battle, in a fight to the death against Godzilla.About 16 years after Gamera's death, a new Gamera, named Toto by Toru, hatched from an egg to defend humanity against various monsters, starting with Zedus. In 1973, Gamera would apparently sacrifice himself to stop a swarm of Gyaos that had invaded the Earth. After giving the monster a through beat-down, including using rocks to play his theme on Zigra's dorsal fins, Gamera delivered the coup de grace by setting Zigra on fire.
Gamera then flew back to the island with the Devil's Whistle still impaled in Jiger's corpse.Ī large shark-like monster called Zigra invaded Earth in 1971, and Gamera returned to do battle with yet another monster. After stunning her with a body slam, Gamera retrieved the statue from the ocean and shoved it through Jiger's skull, killing her. After being revived, Gamera flew over to the World's Fair and fought Jiger once again. They then convince the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (J.S.D.F.) to revive Gamera with electricity. Two kids accidentally get onto a mini sub into Gamera's body and discover the parasitic offspring of Jiger inside Gamera and kill it. After two fights, Jiger stabs Gamera with a stinger from her tail, causing him to faint and turn into a deadly white coloring as Jiger throws the statue in the water and rampages over Japan. In 1970, Gamera approaches Japan after a statue known as Devil's Whistle is taken from an island for the 1970 World's Fair in Suita, Osaka, as well as the monster known as Jiger. Despite being injured by the sharp shurikens that Guiron flung at him, Gamera managed to destroy Guiron and return a couple of abducted human children to Earth. The following year, Gamera traveled to the planet Terra to battle with Guiron, a large blade headed monster that had already dispatched a Gyaos living on that planet. The aliens combine together to create the squid-like monster Viras, which Gamera defeats by tricking him into impaling his head on Gamera's shell, then flying into the stratosphere, freezing Viras, and slamming him into the ocean, shattering the alien into pieces. However, they manage to attach a mind-control device onto Gamera, forcing him to destroy Japan once again, until two kids manage to sabotage the mind-control link and return Gamera to his senses. The next year, a group of aliens known as Virasians attempt to conquer the Earth, only to be halted by Gamera who destroys their ship. Gamera would continue to do battle with other Gyaos over the next several years. Gamera returned to do battle with him, eventually defeating the monster by dragging him into Mount Fuji. In 1967, a highway construction crew awoke yet another daikaiju named Gyaos. After thawing out Gamera, he successfully defeated the injured Barugon by dragging him into a nearby lake and drowned him. The humans desperately tried to destroy Barugon but none of their efforts were successful.
The initial battle resulted in Gamera being frozen solid. When an egg retrieved from a remote island grew into another large daikaiju called Barugon. While enroute to Mars, Gamera destroyed the rocket and returned to Earth. Gamera was finally lured to a missile complex, where they trapped him within a large rocket which they then launched into space on a course for Mars. Scientists and government officials made several attempts to destroy Gamera, none of which were successful. Gamera then found his way to Tokyo, which he quickly rampaged around and destroyed. After destroying a research ship, Gamera showed off his new flying abilities. Gamera then surfaced near the city of Fujisawa, Japan, which he promptly destroyed. Upon crashing, the bomb detonated, freeing and awakening Gamera.Īfter destroying the jet with a fireball, Gamera promptly headed for Japan. In the mid 1960s, an American jet shot down a Soviet bomber carrying a low-yield nuclear device. For many years, Gamera slept underneath a field of ice in North America.
