History Anime / GameraRebirth

** In the same way the Dark Horse comics did so, Viras is the FinalBoss and shows off ShockAndAwe powers, along with the ability to fire a baryon beam from his open head
** [[spoiler:Super Gyaos is a gargantuan monster here that takes Gamera busting out a special move to defeat while they were only Gamera's size in their movie and only a match for him]].
** Gamera himself compared to how he had to fight all these Showa opponents. Aside from Viras all of them had to be fought two or three times for him to beat them. Here he's able to beat all of them in one fight granted with varying amount of damage taken.
* AdaptationalHeroism: A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed example]] with Gamera; he's always been portrayed as a heroic figure in the past, but in the Showa era, he started out as destructive monster, only becoming a protector in later films, while in the Heisei Trilogy, he's portrayed as an AntiHero at best, mainly focused on stopping the Gyaos and other threats while occasionally helping humans ([[Film/Gamera3AwakeningOfIrys the third movie]] even had him forgo humanity's presence to kill the Gyaos) with only in ''Film/GameraTheBrave'' Gamera (as Toto) being portrayed as fully heroic outright. In the series, Gamera is heroic right from the start, always arriving just in time to save our main leads and taking care not crush any buildings or humans underfoot which even Toto wasn't as careful with in his battles.

* AdaptationalUgliness: Jiger was never the prettiest looking Kaiju, but whatever it was in the Showa era is far preferable to the emaciated, sickly, rat-like appearance it takes on for this series.
* AdaptationalWimp: While Showa Jiger always seemed to be at a disadvantage strength wise she outmatched Gamera with her tricky powers of flight, x-ray beam,larvae injection, telekinesis and spine projection. This one only has a stabbing tail.
* AlternateHistory: With this show being set in 1989, besides the kaiju attacking Tokyo throughout the summer of that year, TheStinger [[spoiler:also reveals smartphones of the same caliber as modern iPhone's as being invented shortly after said summer.]]

* BioweaponBeast: [[spoiler:All of the Kaiju were created 100,000 years ago by the Eustace Foundation as a means to enforce population control on the planet. This also includes Gamera, who was stolen and reprogrammed to stop them.]]

* TheBusCameBack: Jiger, Zigra, Guiron, and Viras are among the confirmed monsters Gamera will face in this series, ''53'' years after Jiger's initial appearance, ''52'' years after Zigra's initial appearance, ''54'' after Guiron's initial appearance, and ''55'' after Viras'.

* DarkerAndEdgier: This is probably the most violent, mature ''Gamera'' media installment yet besides ''Film/Gamera3AwakeningOfIrys'', with numerous gruesome and bloody deaths from both humans and monsters, [[RuderAndCruder lots of swearing]], [[spoiler:explicit child deaths, and the primary antagonists being a group of humans instead of monsters or aliens]].
* DeflectorShields: All the kaiju are protected from most attacks by a film of energy around them, making to extraordinarily difficult to even injure them, unless you're another kaiju.
* TheDeterminator: Gamera, true to form continues to fight to protect humanity despite his increasingly severe injuries.

* {{Eagleland}}: General Raymond Osborn as a type 1. Whilst gruff and harsh to his son, he is a rational and responsible military commander. When Jiger attacks, he puts all of his forces to hold it off whilst prioritizing civilians to get out of harm's way; even getting in the danger zone himself. His son, Brody, starts off as type 2 as a brash, arrogant, and somewhat racist bully (despite being [[BoomerangBigot biracial Japanese]] himself). But he later grows out of his more negative traits and becomes all the better for it.

* TheHeavy: All of the villainous kaiju are [[spoiler:this for the Eustace Foundation. As their leaders are just regular people and also on the moon, there's no way they could actually take part in the fights involving Gamera... at least until Gameras fires his energy beam at the moon and instantly eradicates them]].
* HeroicBSOD: In the final episode, [[spoiler:seeing Gamera dying causes Boco to briefly repress his memories of the events of the series, wondering where they are and what happened to Joe]].

* LightningBruiser: Crossed with ImpossiblyGracefulGiant and FasterThanTheyLook, Gamera is incredibly bulky in this series, yet he moves with an incredible amount of speed and fluidity within combat. Best shown when he outright breaks into a sprint and charges at Jiger, along with how he easily parries Guiron's attacks by beating him to the punch.

* NeverWasThisUniverse: [[spoiler:The setting initially seems to establish itself as an AlternateHistory version of 1989, where certain technology is a bit more advanced than our own world, such as a floating island base, electromagnetic propulsion ships, and even a permanent lunar base. However, it's later revealed that there was actually a precursor human civilization the predates the current civilization by some 100,000 years, and some of its survivors are still manipulating society behind the scenes.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: As shown in the trailers, and especially in the series, Gamera is quite brutal with his enemies, such as how he pins Gyaos' neck underfoot, crushing it's windpipe as a result, and attempting to yank it's limbs off. Furthermore, he outright ''strangles'' Gyaos before hurling him with enough force to audibly create what sounds like a sonic boom, and this is after he gouges it's eye out.

** Viras inflicts this on Gamera with ease, outright pummeling him so badly he appears to be nearly dead.

* RuderAndCruder: In the English dub at least. There's far more swear words than any other Gamera media, from both the adults and child characters.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:The last scene is of Joe, having somehow survived aboard the plummeting space shuttle, attempting to communicate with Boco from an unknown location]].
* ShipTease: Brody gains a crush on Junichi when he learns she's a girl at the end of episode 3. After giving some development to this one sided crush in episode 4 it is never brought up again.

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Emiko works for the Eustace Foundation with the same goal of [[DeadlyEuphemism purifying]] humanity, but she intends to kill off the entire leadership and usurp them, because the current leader, her own aunt, murdered Emiko's mother to assume power. She doesn't live to see her betrayal come to pass however, as she is killed by a Gyaos in the final episode after her plans are thwarted by Gamera]].

* ThoseTwoGuys: Commander Sasaki and Major Enatsu of the JSDF appear at least once per episode, the latter delivering status updates to the former, who is usually found sitting in his tank being frustrated by the Japanese government's bureaucratic red tape sidelining them from helping fight the kaiju, eating candy... [[spoiler:and folding the wrappers into origami of the MonsterOfTheWeek, even though he's never seen any of them himself]].
